Thursday, August 15, 1912. Let us rejoice that we have elections only every two years. We could be more thankful if they took place only every four years. The get-together spirit exhibited by the gentlemen composing the Orangeburg boosting trip is most commendable. If the people of other towns would exhibit the same spirit their communities would be more prosperous. ^ ^ Judge Jones is a Christian gentleman, one who reveres God and respects the rights of his fellow-man. His honorable public service as a member of the State Supreme Court for the past sixteen years is a guarantee that he will make a model governor. ? We understand that a good many people in this county are going to vote for Peeples for attorney general, many of them Jones men. Do they want a man in the office of attorney general who believes in the Blease idea of government? Mr. Peeples says he is supporting Blease. It never was expected that all the people would agree about politics or anything else, so don't fall out with your neighbor and friend just beV>? nnt coo f fi i n ft; n<; VOJ1 tausc LIKi uvv V4A4M9W ^ do. This is a free country, and every man has a right to his -opinion, although it seems some people would deny others that privilege. Many months ago this newspaper warned the people against the purpose of the railroads to dominate South Carolina, and some newspapers ridiculed the idea. Wonder what they think about it now? Recent political happenings must convince any one that we are in grave danger of being absolutely controlled by the railroads/ South Carolina is going to have a governor for the next two years that she may well be proud of. Judge Jones is a high-tone Christian gentleman, whose private life and public career has been such as to reflect honor on the State. He will make an admirable chief executive, and all classes will receive equal justice at his hands. Judge Jones is a man who stands for the rights of the laboring man against the corporations who are now trying to control affairs in this State. A cat fish weighing 25 pounds was caught by a negro in the Edisto river near Bamberg a few days ago; at least The Bamberg Herald says so.? Newberry Observer. Our good friend seems to doubt our fish story. We know this is campaign year and that gentlemen from Newberry are famous for denouncing as "newspaper lies" many stories to their discredit, but we hardly thought our fish story would be doubted. Come down and let us feed you on a catfish stew and you will be convinced. In nearly every county in the State candidates for county offices are being asked by the voters as to their position in the race for governor. Not only are the candidates for the senate and house of representatives being asked this question, but aspirants for all offices are having the question put to them. In many counties even the candidates for coroner and magistrate are asked to declare themselves, and they are doing it. So far as our observation goes most of the candidates throughout the State are in favor of Judge Jones for governor. Just suppose the people of Bamberg would do as much talking and work for Bamberg" as they do for the candidates for political offices, what a great town we'd have! ???>* is it not strange how many people will attend a political meeting, when if a farmers' institute, a good roads meeting, or some gathering of real benefit to a community is held it will be very siimly attended. Why is this? ^ & The Orangeburg Times and Democrat issued a ten-page booster edition Tuesday, and 6,000 copies of * ? - ~ ~ ^ + V, u*oro n r i n t II! 1 ij issue ui luc itvi^ On the first page was a large cut ot Judge Ira B. Jones. The Times and Democrat is doing valiant service for his election as governor, and it is said that Jones will carry that county by at least five hundred majority. In his campaign speech at Laurens yesterday Governor Blease said he was as well qualified for governor as Ben Tillman or anybody else and that he did not need Tillman's endorsement. He also paid a tribute to W. J. Talbert and N. B. Dial, Tillman's opponents for the Senate. From his remarks one would not imagine that Blease will vote for Tillman this year. The people are sovereign and they have a right to know what a candidate's idea of just government is. The candidate is asking tor a position in that government to manage the affairs of the voters, and the best test of his ideas is what kind of government he will vote for. We therefore believe the voters are strictly within their rights when they ask a candidate for any office who he favors for governor. We notice that in many counties in the State the people who favor Blease for governor are the ones who want the candidates for every office, from the highest to the lowest, to declare themselves on the race for governor, yet in this county we have heard a number of men who will support Blease say that it is not right to ask any candidate how he stands. In fact we have not yet heard a single supporter of Blease favor making county candidates declare themselves. So noticeable has this become that it is a fairly good way to judge how one will vote. If it is right in one county why is it not right in another? ELEPHANT HUNTING. The Animal May be Slow, But Will Give the Hunter a Run. We were now in the bend of the Niger, and approaching Lake Niangaye, a fine sporting country, writes Capt. A. H. W. Haywood in the May Wide World Magazine. Mere 1 spent nearly three weeks, shifting my little camp as circumstances dictated. It was near the site of an inundated village that I made my headquarters for elephants. These fine beasts i^sed to come and drink at the lake every three or four days, and 1 was fortunate enough to get two good tuskers here. My first view of these animals was a never to be forgotten one. It was a beautiful moonlight night, and I had sent out my hunters in different directions to bring me early news of elephants coming to drink at the lake which is a very large one. Suddenly a man appeared, saying that a herd was approaching rapidly, and soon I heard the thud of a multitude of huge feet on the sandy ground. Making a wide circuit to avoid giving them my wind, I cautiously drew close to the lake. Words cannot adequately describe the beauty of the scene that met my eyes. Some forty elephants were disporting themselves in the moonlit waters, bathing and douching themselves with water taken up in their trunks. Knowing I should get my chance later, I had plenty of time to single out the best tuskers and mark them down. In the meantime, I lay perfectly still in my concealed position, enjoying this remarkable picture. Having bathed and drunk their fill, the elephants proceeded to retreat leisurely homewards. With a little maneuvering I had no difficulty in shooting one of the animals I had marked down. Now arrived a dangerous moment. The huge herd, frightened rather than enraged at the report of my rifle and the fall of their comrade, stampeded in all directions. Some half dozen came careering toward me; there was neither time nor space to evade them, and for a moment I thought I must j inevitably be trampled unaer men massive feet. I had flung myself on the ground to be as inconspicuous as possible when fortunately something made them turn aside. They passed within a few inches of my prostrate body, screaming and trumpeting ir terrifying fashion as they thundered by.?Birmingham Age-Herald. The minister of the gospel whc takes sides for Jones is criticised as 'getting down in the mire of politics," but the minister that takes sides for Blease gets a big write-up and a eulogy and his picture in the paper. EAT THEM MORN, NOON, NIGHT. > If Women Only Know How Good for Complexion are Apples. Chicago, Aug. S.?"If women knew ; that eating apples will do more to make their complexions beautiful 1 than all the face remedies in the world they would eat them morning, : noon and night," said U. Grant Border, of Baltimore, to-day, in addressing the International Apple Shippers' Association. "Five years from now when the ? countless apple orchards that have come into existence in the last few , years begin to bear full crops, the annual apple production of this coun, try will exceed 100,000,000 barrels," said Mr. Border. "We must advertise the apple as the natural fruit if we are to prevent its over-production. "The people must be reminded of : the health benefits of eating apples." Other speakers declared that freight and storage cnarges were responsible for the increase in the price of apples in recent years. SIX YEARS FOR FORGER. Georgia Court Holds 'Tis Wrong to Sign Fictitious Name to Check. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 9.?The use of a fictitious name does not save a forger from prison in Georgia. Despite the fact that lawyers argued that Georgia has no law against a man signing fictitious names to checks so long as he does not forge the name of a real person, Judge Ellis to-day decided that A. R. Saffold must serve a sixyear term given him some time ago by the superior court. He was charged with getting money from banks by signing fictitious names. SILK SOCKS SLOW PAY. Some Observations of a New York ' Business Woman. "Ware of the man with silk hosiery," says a New York business woman. This does not mean that it is immoral to wear silk stockings, but that the man who has them mended is apt to be bad pay. The hnsinpRK woman is a professional member and she has had experience. "The only bills I have ever lost have been for darning men's stockings," she says. "One of them was unkind enough to die and leave 43 pairs of silk hosiery on my hands. He might have paid but apparently from appearance he would not if l>e had lived. The stockings had come in in two lots, and I sent them over to the smart club, the address of the owner, C. 0. D. My man came back looking crestfallen. " 'He's gone and died, ma'am/ he said. "We sent to the business address of the silk hosiery wearer, but they said they were holding everything he had for unpaid bills; there was a great pile of mail which they suspected contained more bills, and they didn't care to take our stockings for assets. Living well, that man had to be buried by the city. We didn't know what to do with the stockings at first, but finally the lawyer said, 'Give them away if you lr^z-wnr o-nvnnQ ii-Vinm t h ov will d.") imiu ? auj uuviii i/wvj > ? good.' "That was our little charity. We gave them to a body of Italian students in the city, and they were the happiest boys you ever saw, and would have liked to walk on their heads if they could, to show their beautiful red, green, blue and purple silk hosiery. "Another $5 bill for darning other silk stockings that we lost was really our own fault, and that may come back to us yet. We delivered the stockings one day, and the bill was mailed the next. In the meantime the man, who had asked to have the bill with the stockings, had left the city. The bill followed him all over the United States. In a zigzag fashion it went across the continent to California and was returned to us from San Francisco, a curious affair, covered with postmarks and addresses, but marked, finally, from the last hotel: " 'Left for a trip around the world.' That money may get around the world to us yet but we have lost many other bills where a hotel address is given; the owner of the ; hosiery will not be in, the amount due being small, the stockings will 1 be left, and the men traveling salesi men.?New York Herald.

Iged Minister, President of Bos College, Who Served St. 1 as Pastor Continuous ^Reproduced from Newberry Herald d< and News by Bamberg County h; Friends.) ir When Governor Cole L. Blease al ts ipoke at Pomaria, in the lower part j >f Newberry county, on Saturday, i h fuly 26, he was introduced by his S< ife-long friend and supporter, the v; lev. J. A. Sligh, D. D., president of he board of trustees of Newberry SJ College, who paid Governor Blease a I nagnificent tribute. * ^ Dr. Sligh, now in his seventy-sevrnth year, is a native of Newberry C( mintv anH livpfi in Nf>v.*bf?rrv noun- & ! y until very recently, when he moved J ^ o a place which he has purchased i tl tear Columbia. He served St. Paul's w Lutheran church, near Pomaria, as J P' ts pastor continuously for forty-six [ t* ears, completing this long pastoral1 :harge on the 12th day of November, j ei 911. At that time appropriate ser- tl ices were held in the church, and tl he love and respect in which Dr. S lligh was held by his people were n< rery strikingly evidenced. In con- si lection with St. Paul's church, Dr. hi High also served several other Luth- tt iran churches. Dr. Sligh has served continuously .s a member of the board of trustees it Newberry College for forty-three ~ ears. He was its secretary for seven ; -ears and its president for twenty- j E1' line years, and he still holds the lat- J er position of president of the board. 1B Dr. Sligh presided over the meet- ei ng which Governor Blease had been s< nvite'd to address. Addressing the 01 .,200 to 1,500 people who had gath- tc ired to hear the governor?nearly P< ill of them the personal friends and ST inthusiastic supporters of Governor Blease?Dr. Sligh, in introducing the governor, said that in political days ;one by he had been called upon to ntroduce Senator Tillman to a New- w )erry audience. He did not know w rhy, unless it was that he was a p] rillman man. To-day he was called e] ipon to introduce Governor Blease, a] md he did not know why, unless it roc hopunco hp was a. Rlease man. Dr. Sligh paid loving tribute to the nemory of Governor Blease's father, a? he late Henry H. Blease, who, he (j) aid, "was a good man, a straight tj nan, a Christian man, a noble-mind- tj :d man, a man of good heart." "I n lever had a better friend on earth ^ han Henry Blease," said Dr. Sligh. n] Continuing his remarks, Dr. Sligh ;poke of the spirit of gratitude as >ne of the finest traits of a high charicter, saying that he had great con- m empt for a man who is not grateful m o his friends. "That is one reason cz admire the present Governor," he G laid, "because he is true to his a 'riends. You can't expect him to do C tnything else except be true to his b: riends; if he wasn't he wouldn't be ic vorthy the confidence and the votes ra >f the people." fc The remainder of Dr. Slights re- m narks were as follows: B "Can Say Great Deal for Blease." v< "I can say a great deal in behalf B )f Cole Blease, but I haven't the ni mice to say much to-day.

But he has kept his head II the time, showing that he is certinly well balanced. Look at the anders that have been heaped upon im. Look at the legislature of outh Carolina against him; all that as a made-up plan by a great many tembers of the legislature. There is o doubt about that?at least, I am itistied about that in my own mind. do not say this of every member ho was opposed to Blease, but I do slieve they have been influenced to )me into that band and work *' ?ainst the Governor of the State, ook what they did, trying to make le impression that the legislature as against him, and therefore the j sople were against him. Look at le Democratic convention some time ?o which tried to impress that ev:ybody was against him. Look at le plans to defeat him since then? lis great committee that met in Auiista some time ago.
