There has been a howl raised by see
the Blease supporters because the
newspapers published the statement pure
of Jno. P. Grace in reference to ^jgp]

Some Blease newspapers are making
a mighty howl about the statement
of Grace being so dirty, saying ^ent
that it is unfit to publish. Well, it *ea
is not near so bad as the language
vain
used by Blease in his campaign
speeches. Everything that Blease tliis
says is all right with these newspa- that
pers, but when somebody gives the
governor some pretty hot shot 'it's titu(
t h 0
just awful and makes them so ashamBlea
ed for such language to be printed.

There is so much political matter vors
being circulated these days that it pror
is hard to dec* 1e what to publish, as to h
the columns of a weekly newspaper vers
will not begin to hold one-tenth of run
it. However, we are doing our duty the
by our State as we see it, and we ernr
have no quarrel with those who dif- crirr
fer from us. Vote as you think best, Oh!
but be sure you vote for true, pure, secu
clean men for all offices, that right- govc
eousness, truth, purity ?nd justice mos
may prevail throughout South Carolina.

.lease says Jones is a corporation
1, but it is a fact that the corporais
are supporting Blease. Why?
low Blease says he will be counted
at the primary. There's a reason,
won't get enough votes, that's all.
'he men who own the railroads in
State are for Blease, but the poor
1 who do the work for these great
)orations are for Jones. They
w who is their friend.
ol. Thos. Wilson, president of the
thwestern Railroad, who lives in
iter, is a supporter of Blease. So
all the rich men who control the
jorations in this State. They
w who is their friend, and that is
r they are for Blease, and are
king hard for him, too. But we
lot believe the honest farmer and
king man of South Carolina will
w themselves to be dictated to
year by the corporations.

CHAXCE FOK GOOD JiOADS IlIDEli J
Hill Providing f??* Federal Aid 1
Gaining- Strength.
Washington, Aug. 5.?As in the
house so in the senate, the advocates
of the good roads' rider to the postoffice
appropriation bill are developing
much more strength on the floor
than they could develop in committee,
where the verdict in each case
was given in favor of a commission
to investigate the feasibility of federal
aid for roads.
The advocates of the consolidated
good roads bill, which provides for
payment of a certain amount by the
federal government to each State for %
the use of the roads in carrying mail, ff
in proportion to the mileage and con- I
dition of such roads, won their fight I
in the house. They are making a I
similarly strong effort to override the |
committee in the senate, where rep- 1
resentative Shackleford, of Missouri. P
who was floor manager for the measure
at his wing of the capitol, has
been spending a good deal of time
recently in conversation with senators.
'
Senator E. D. Smith, of South Carolina,
to-day spoke very effectively in
favor of the bill. He was questioned P
from an opposite point of view I
by Senators Gallinger, Pomerene, %
Bourne and Bristow, and was back- ?
ed up by Senators Newlands and
Reed. The outlook is that there will
be a close vote on the measure, with
some chance of its passage.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, is
expected to offer an amendment tomorrow
to make such money given
in aid of' such post roads shall be
properly distributed among the counties
by the States after they get it.
INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR.
Corporation Tax Collected in 1912

ant year, according to a report issued

ire 2,789 domestic, 113 foreign, and
179 public utility corporations in the

Df $73,865.93, representing an invested
capital of $137,639,173; the
foreign corporations' tax amounting
to $7,963.81, representing an invest
id capital of $15,675,113, and the
public utility corporations' tax
imounting to $40,810.46, representing
an invested capital of $13,603,192.
The amount collected from this total
tax last year was $107,924.40,

THREE MEN SHOT.
Fight Followed Quarrel Over Game
nf CflrdK
Spartanburg, Aug. 1.?Quarreling
Dver a game of cards, a partyof
cvhite men who were holding a drinking
bout in a grove on Cunningham
Banna's plantation, midway between
Enoree and Kilgore, engaged in a
pistol battle about 6 o'clock this
evening. Ben F. Hanna, 32 years of
ige was killed and his younger broth- J
?r, Belton E. Hanna, wounded prob- I
ibly fatally. John Watson was shot jj
:hrough the hip. Watson's brother
in-xj.w, Barth Odom, who is said to
lave shot Hanna, has fled.- He is a
Drother of Polk Odom, who was shot I
:o death in the same neighborhood 1
last winter. J|
After Belton Hanna had been exlmined
by physicians, who found that
i bullet had passed through his chest. A
near his heart, and there was no I
tiope for his recovery, a deposition ^
tvas taken from the wounded man.
Be said the trouble was caused by
Watson, who was not a participant
in the game of cards, but looked over *
che shoulders of the players and
made audible remarks about their ^
bands. Belton Hanna said that he
lost his temper and struck Watson;
Chat Ben Hanna drew his pistol and
the battle then became general. * m
Ben Hanna was shot through the
bead just above the ear and was almost
instantly killed.
The Hanna bays were unmarried
ind lived with their father, Cunning- 4
bam Hanna. They have a number of 4
kinsfolk in that section of Spartanburg
county, who are prominent,
rhey are nephews of the Hanna ^
brothers who keep a store at Enoree *
and first cousins of Dr. C. D. Hanna,
of the same place. Dr. Hanna, Dr.
C. P. Vincent and Dr. J. W. Allen
were summoned to give Belton Han a
whatever aid was possible.. Watson,
