A .. tabl Thursday, August 1,1912. thJ com The question before the people of rest South Carolina to-day is not one of that partisan politics, or the success or of ? downfall of any man. It is a ques- be tion of the best intersts of the State, plea and every voter should cast his ballot pros for the glory of his State. that mor Gov. Blease has turned a lot of his an(j former friends from him, and if he tQ has converted a single opponent to it his cause we have not heard of it. ^ With this fact in view, it ought to be its , easy to forecast the result of the pri- be mary in August. abj The Herald has always stood for its the best interests of Bamberg's peo- T pie. If there has ever been a time when coli: we advised them wrong we have not anc* heard of it. In business and politics we have always stood for those things son! which make for good government a&? x and a greater town and county. You som may disagree with us as to the pres- t0 ent governor, but we ask you to con- Sur< sider the fact that we have never ad- star vised you wrong so far. seei and Xo questioner of the governor at a wjt] campaign meeting should ask an in- maj suiting question, but when any voter nt< asks a civil question in reference to eise the record of the governor, he should berj receive a civil answer and not be in- 0f suited. When Governor Blease is 0th< questioned he insults his questioners, shoi but when Judge Jones is questioned tion he always answers as a gentleman should, even though some times his interrogator is somewhat under the influence of liquor. We hope the "f voters will go on asking the governor wriJ cus* questions about his public record, , . , tut his answers lose him votes everv time. * mai age This newspaper has no personal feeling against the present gover- age nor, nor do we misrepresent or abuse wrii him. We do not believe his record giv< entitles him to re-election and we are to j frank to say so, but we freely concede to others the right to vote and Wa work for whom they please. In op- act posing him we believe we are stand- I'll ing for the best interest of South Carolina and all its people. The best in < friend of the poor man is the law; on and when the law is trampled on and pas thrust aside it is certain that the man without money or influence will casi be the sufferer. The poor man is cou the backbone of this country, and pec we shall always stand for his rights. situ Told Boy to Shoot. ver * Lawrence, Mass., July 28.?"I put gave him permission to shoot me," SU(j wrote out Louis Dion, aged 11 in a boyish scrawl on a piece of paper to- ?i?n day, then stood up before Henry Lap Talbot, aged 12, who shot him dead through the heart. The shooting was the result of a I boy's pride in his new 22-calibre rifle der and a dare from a companion who kill "did not believe it could kill any at one." Acc The rifle belonged to the Talbot gor boy who was shooting it from the spe window of his home. Young Dion wif came along and remarked that his der brother had a similar rifle and it was dry "no good." of "Give me permission to shoot you sns and I'll show you whether it is any Th good," the Talbot boy is alleged to bai have said. Dion wrote out the per- cee mission .en a slip of paper. Immedi- der ately there was a shot from the rifle dei and Dion fell dead. Talbot and Henry White, aged 11, dei who witnessed the shooting, were ar- leg rested on a charge of manslaughter, aff; The police claim to have the note wa written by Dion. wil PACKING THE MEETINGS. I y the Aiken Meeting Was Said to IJ be for I ilea sc. . correspondent of the Augusta onicle from Granitevilie says: "I n ce by to-day's paper that yester- n s campaign meeting at Aiken was a )ried as being a Blease meeting, p m the standpoint of votes it was n The Jones men anticipated their p re by scattering men through the r; vd to find out where the Blease v porters came from. We know a t Saluda furnished sixty, Edge- ? 1 forty, Barnwell seventy-five, Co- s bia forty and Augusta 200, mak- o a total of 415 Blease phono- b phs that cannot vote in Aiken o nty. These men were paid to F ie to this meeting, were instruct- t! iow to vote in the hand primaries, t' by putting both hands up. Then *e were lots of women and chil- f i who voted the same way so you d readily see that when wou elim- a e these so-called votes, he had a a 7 slim showing, indeed." s; Carlisle Fitting School. ays The Bamberg Herald: Mr. J. C. Guilds, head master of s< Carlisle Fitting School, tells us fi : he has already in hand a great ly more applications for admis- t< i of students that at any time in g history of the school. The pros: is for the largest attendance of t' one year since the school was es- d ished." k he Carlisle Fitting School, under c guidance of Mr. Guilds, is ac- n plishing the most encouraging v, ilts. The more schools like it ; can be built up in different parts t; South Carolina the better it will a for the State. We are greatly l^ ised to learn of its increasing jperity, and we could only wish ^ : all of its friends would realize e e fully what its opportunities are t! what it is doing and would rally g its financial assistance. Already 5 of large benefit to that part of v State in which it is located;.but s sphere of usefulness might easily expanded were the funds avail- d ?. It is exceedingly fortunate in y head. a he above is from the editorial b imns of the News and Courier, it should be remembered'that the y or of that newspaper paid a peril visit to the school some months And yet we understand that e of our citizens are not as loyal the school as they should be. e ely if they have a reason for not D iding by the school, does it not ' n to be only fair to the institution a their interests as well, to confer ^ i the head of the school before ^ r ting criticisms or inducing par- v %? ; to send their boys and girls where. If the people of Bam- e I do not stand by an institution * their own how can they expect ^ jrs to do so? Bamberg citizens ] nld stand by Bamberg institu- b s. * t s Dramatic Snap. b ??? i . number of players and play- E ?hts at the Lambs' Club were dis- ^ sing the question of what consti- E ?s the "snap" so persistently de- a ided of the dramatist by the man- c r of to-day. I have talked to so many manrs on this subject," said one ter, "but none has been able to i me any very definite notion as iust what 'snap' is." I can help you out," said Eugene Iter. "I have an idea for a oneplay that just bursts with 'snap.' give it to you. Here it is: Play opens with man and woman Irawing-room, seated side by side a sofa and embracing each other sionately.

Intended for Him. Rastus had called at Judge Ranom's house and made a present of a ne turkey to the judge's wife. I "Mah brother had two," he said, | o ease her suspicions, "and so he ave me this one." Mrs. Ransom gave him in return wo bright silver dollars, on the conition that the bird was a tame turey and not of the wild kind, beause the judge detested getting his louth full of shot every time he anted a bite. -? 1 ~ r "L?0se UlTKeys was, uui Ui clu, ame enough to eat out of yo' hand, lis' Ransom," said Rastus earenst7. That night Judge Ransom and his rife sat down to a deliciously brownd turkey, piping hot. At the first bite he judge jumped to his feet, spitting rape shot in all directions.

"Dem shot was intended for me, o' honf.h," said Rastus humbly. Insane Negro Causes Alarm.
