Thursday, Sept. 5, 1912.
Smile, blame you, smile! You
won't find the weather near so hot
if you do.
This newspaper has been defeated
in politics many times before this
' and we are not worrying over it. We
do our duty as we see it and don't
grumble because things don't go our
way.
Your children should be in school
this fall. Make preparations now to
send them. No child should be deprived
of an education,'and with the
splendid educational facilities of
Bamberg there is no reason why any
should be.
Senator Tillman claims to be and
no doubt is the father of the primary
system in this State. Let him lend
his aid and influence in purifying it
and placing it under proper rules and
regulations which will insure an honest
expression of the will of the people.
^ mm ^
The greatest consolation we have
over the result of the election is
that a majority of the white people
of South Carolina did not go on record
as favoring present conditions.
Blease may be governor, and we can
bear that when we feel sure that he
did not receive a majority of the
votes of the white people of the
State.
It is said that the next legislature
will be anti-Blease, so we are not in
such bad shape after all. The governor
should remember that the
legislature can impeach him and
he should be careful of his actions.
We don't blame him for standing by
his friends when he can find a friend
just as competent as the other man,
but the question of whether a man
voted for or against him should not
- be considered in affairs of State.
Some years ago we had a little
controversy with our good old friend,
Maj. Jno. W. Holmes of the Barnwell
People, because he made the assertion
that the people of Anderson'
county were benighted. We disagreed
with him then, but since read
ing the results in last week's primary
in that county we want to take
it all back and admit that we were
sadly mistaken. Maj. Holmes will
please accept assurances f our most
distinguished consideration.
? m
Oh, no! the Southern Railway is
not in politics either in South Carolina
or Georgia. Last week Governor
Brown vetoed the mileage bill
passed by the legislature and a telegram
was sent to Vice-President Andrews
of the Southern Railway notifying
him of the veto before it was
made public. And yet the Southern
Railway is not in politics! You newspaper
men who are under obligations
to this vicious corporation had better
get right. A free pass may blind
you, but to one who can see, the
Southern Railway did more than any
one factor for the election of Blease.
This newspaper earnestly and sin
cerely desired the election of Judge
Jones and did what we could to that
end, but we would rather have seen
him go down in defeat a hundred
times than to have had him elected
in any such primary as the one recently
held. There is no question but
that there is a lot of fraud and we
hope it will be uncovered. The
wisest thing for the State executive
committee to do is to order another
primary for governor, and let us see
that it is honestly conducted this
time. This is easy enough said, too,
but we should remember that there
is every opportunity for corruption
under our present primary system.
j We can at least be thankful that,
we didn't suport Blease.
o
At least Bamberg county voted
right.
o
Blease is elected and yet Stothart
still reigns in Charleston.
o
Charleston, you did fine! You are
entitled to be recognized as a part of
South Carolina.
o
And yet some of the Blease newspapers
don't seem to be satisfied over
the result of the election.
o
We could pretty well forget Blease
and Bleaseism if cotton would go to
fourteen cents and stay there.
o
Vkoll f-nooAn nn ^

and the primaries over, we ought to
be able to get down to business.
o
If there was fraud in the recent
primary we sincerely hope it will be
brought to light and the guilty parties
punished.
o
Reckon some fellow will be saying
next that the election of Blease
caused the price of cotton to drop.
Something made it go down, that's
certain.
o
None of Blease's "enemies" as he
calls them have ever riddled his
career so completely and effectively
as Senator Tillman did in his open
letter to Blease a few days ago.
o
We presume that no one will claim
that a man who is not intelligent
enough to vote should be allowed to
vote. South Carolina is suffering
now because of the unrestricted use
of the ballot.
o
When one reads of the Blease majority
in Charleston two years ago
and the Jones majority there this
year, he is forced to acknowledge
that there has been a mighty change
of sentiment down there or somebody
did some fine work.
o
The Herald is always at work for
the town and county, and we need
and deserve the patronage of those
whose interests are located here.
Help us and we help you, for the
business given us enables this newspaper
to do better service for its
constituents.
o
A comparison of the vote for gov
ernor by counties in lyiu ana iyiz
makes interesting reading. When
one reads these figures and notes
the tremendous increase in the vote
of certain counties he is no longer
surprised that charges of fraud and
illegal voting are made.
There is no question but that Judge
Jones was a patriot and a martyr in
the recent campaign and primary,
but if the result of it all should be
that we are to have honest primaries
hereafter with proper restictions
thrown around the use of the ballot,
he will have done untold service to
his State.
There is no doubt but that the recent
primary was the most loosely
conducted or fraudulent of any ever
held in the State. From many counties
protests are coming against the
vote, and in Charleston county sev
1 ? "-A *A KA nYinennntfl/1 fnr
eriii persuus ctic lv uc piuocv/utcu
impersonating others and fraudulent
voting. What are we coming to?
Ther will be only one second race
on the State ticket, according to the
returns filed, and that is between
Lyon and Peeples for attorney general.
Bamberg county ought to give
Lyon a big majority. No man who
has filled the position in recent years
has made a better record than Attorney
General Lyon and he deserves
re-election.
No doubt the increase in the vote
in Bamberg county was natural, and
we have not heard any rumors of
fraud or illegal voting. However,
there seems little doubt but that
whiskey was used, and the good citizens
should be on the lookout for
this and put a stop to it next Tuesday
if it is attempted. It is awful
that voters will be debauched by
whiskey.
In the primary just held 35,831
more votes were counted than in the
primary two years ago. Where did
they all come from, and why have
they never voted before? Everybody
is bound to admit there is something
wrrmtr TSvpn Rlpase admitted in his
speech one night last week that too
many votes had been cast, but he
said then the Jones men had stuffed
the ballot boxes. Later when he
found out he was ahead he said he
was honestly elected.
Boys' Bodies Receovered.
Rock Hill, Aug. 30.?The bodies
of ^Myron Sandifer, Jr., and John
Creighton, the lads who were drowned
in the Catawba river yesterday afternoon,
were recovered to-day at 11
o'clock after a long and trying search
by hundreds of sympathizing friends.
The Creighton funeral will take place
to-morrow morning and the Sandifer
Sunday.

Charles Wesley's Famous Hymn Was
Inspired by a Frightened Bird.
Religion has always been wedded
to song, whatever the stage of civilization
or the form of worship.
Rhythm and melody have acted and
reacted upon the religious life of
the world, until it is easy to understand
how the largest and most permanent
contribution one can make to
the religious life is to write for it
a new song which will lift it on the
wings of praise and prayer to the
nigner imugs.
The greatest hymn written by un- '
inspired man is undoubtedly "Jesus, '
Lover of My Soul," written by
Charles Wesley.
It stands next to and possibly beside
the great song of David, which
is called the Twenty-third Psalm?
the little brown thrush of all earth I
songs homely, but sweet to human
hearts: "The Lord Is My Shepherd."
Wesley's hymn shares with David's
the honor of bringing peace and
comfort to the largest multitudes;
to have been the earliest lisped in
childhood and the last to linger on
the tongue when the singer crosses
the bar.
"Jesus, Lover of My Soul" is one
of the noblest expressions of Christian
faith and hope in all literature .
and so shares with the Twenty-third
Psalm the first place in the hearts |
of thousands as the two voice the
prayers of Christendom.
Charles Wesley wrote this hymn
at the age of 32, and the story of 1
its origin is that he stood by an
open window on a summer day, and
a little*bird, frightened by a thunderstorm,
flew into the room and ;
sought refuge there; this incident inspired
the writing of this hymn.
Henry Ward Beecher, speaking of
his father's death and his love for
this hymn, said: "I would rather
have written that hymn of Wesley's
than to have the fame of any kind
on earth. It is more glorious. There
is more power in it. I would rather
be the author of that hymn than to
have the wealth of the richest millionaire
of New York. He will die
and pass out of men's thoughts. He
will have done nothing to stop
trouble or encourage hope! His
money will be scattered by division.
In three or four generations everything
comes to the ground again for
redistribution; but that hymn will
go on singing until the last trump
brings forth the angel band and then
I think it will mount up to the very

Bobby had the toothache and his
jaw was badly swollen before he
summoned up courage enough to go
to the dentist's to have the tooth
pulled. The dentist was encouraging.
"All right, Bobby," he said, "we'll
fix that in a second. Open your
mouth."
"I can't," said Bobby; "me jaw's
swelled too much."
The dentist summoned his assistant.
"You take this big hatpin," he
whispered, "and when I nod you jab
it hard through the seat of the chair
Bobby is in."
Then he turned back to Bobby.
"Come on, Bobby," he said again;
"open your mouth.".
"I can't," said Bobby, "me jaws?"
Just then the dentist nodded and
the assistant jabbed hard. Bobby

opened his mouth the dentist got the
tooth.
"Well," he said, "I got her, Bobby,
didn't I?"
"You sure did," said Bobby, rubbing
himself where the hatpin had
penetrated, "but gee, doc, I never
knew de roots went down so far."?

Tarrytown, N. Y., Aug. 30.?The
13th hold-up on the Rockefeller estate
at Pocantico Hills within a
month took place on Wednesday
night when a teamster, returning
from the Rockefeller barns, was robbed
at the point of a revolver by two
Italians. News of the hold-up was
withheld for 24 hours by the 3heriff
while his deputies made a vain search
for the assailants.
