Thursday, March 6,1913.
Really there are getting to be too
many candidates for governor. True
there are some mighty good men announced
as candidates, but it is impossible
to support them all. Unless
our mind changes we shall likely sup?
port R. I. Manning, of Sumter. " He
is well qualified for the position, and
we think it is his time to have another
show* for the position.
The governor took an oath to abide
the result of the primary and support
the nominees of the Democratic
party. This oath he filed in writing
when he became a candidate for governor.
Later he took tbe oath when
he voted in the primary. If he has
violated an oath in not obeying the
will of the people and appointing H.
C. Folk as Master of Bamberg county,
does not an action for perjury lie
against him, just as against one who
swears falsely in the courts?
Mr. W. \V. Srnoak, who has edited
the Walterboro Press and Standard
for several years, has sold his paper
to. Mr. R. M. Jeffries. Mr. Smoak
will go to Madisonville, Ky., where
he will edit and manage the Hustler,
a semi-weekly paper of four pages,
seven columns. Madison is a thriving
city of 6,000 in the western part
of Kentucky and the field there is
broader than the one at Walterboro.
Frankly we hate to see a newspaper
man like Smoak leave South Carolina.
, He has ability and courage
and has always stood for the best
things in life. Especially has he
made a record in behalf of law and
order and the upbuilding of his coun
ty and State. Every movement looking
to a greater Colleton *has had his
hearty support, and he has been connected
in a personal way with the
county tair ana otner puunu tuieiprises.
We believe he is making a
mistake in going to Kentucky, for we
expect the lower section of South
Carolina to develop rapidly in the
next ten years. We have a fine
climate and we have the lands which
will produce almost anything, and to
us the future looks brigfit. The iinprovenient
in Bamberg and Colleton
in the past ten years has been wonderful.
but it has not stopped, it is
going forward every day. Low lands
which were worth only a dollar or
two an acre ten years ago are now
cleared up and drained and fine crops
are being grown thereon. But
wherever he goes, here's wishing
him mighty well. We welcome Mr
Jeffries as a member of the press
gang, but we want to assure him that
Smoak has set a pace in Walterboro
that will be hard to follow.
Fire on Colleton 1*001- Farm.
Walterboro. Feb. 27.?The Colle
ton county poor farm was visited by
a fire Tuesday morning about 10
o'clock, entailing the loss of the superintendent's
kitchen, residence,
smoke house and store room. By
heroic efforts the flames were con- j
fined to these buildings, which were
near to each other. The corn house j
and several of the inmates' kitchens
were saved.
The fire originated in the kitchen
and caught from the stove flue. Only
a small part of the furniture was
saved and this belonged to the superintendent.
I. W. Dopson. The
buildings were the property of the
county. Mr. Dopson s loss was $ouu,
with 110 insurance. The county's loss
probably reaches as high as $ 1,000.
Mr. Dopson is now occupying two of
the cottages.

THE BULGARIAN ARMY. I B(
I
1 Organization Moves Like Clockwork Ca
and Shows Fine Discipline.
A correspondent of the London
Telegraph writes that the Bulgarian se]
army is a wonderful organization and js
moves like clockwork. Continuing iv
he says:
When driving through the moun- un
tains I have been frequently aston- an
ished to see long lines of ox carts
heavily laden with army stores plod
ding along and wondered now sucn y
primitive transport could be adequate su
to a modern army. ha
The needful explanation was af- tu;
forded me at Kostendil. where I have to
had occasion to see one of these commissariats
in full operation. All the ]10
ox carts in the adjoining departments at
had been requisitioned to the num- to
ber of 1,000. They were then divid- ca
ed into five sections of 200 carts t)U
each. The drivers, with their whips. m(
astrakhan or ordinary sheep wool th;
caps and long sheepskin or goat hair j?j
coats, look picturesque beside their CY<
two small Greek oxen or African buf- th<
faloes. Every day 200 cars are laden aii
and they start away at a slow pace,
the driver walking before his team. jnJ
humming an air or smoking a cigar- ,jai
ette. He thus trudges up and down
the mountain roads for a distance of tjn
fifteen kilometers, or nine and a half ^
miles, which is one day s marcn. men ^
he light a fire for himself at the road- ne,
side, has a warm meal, feeds his oxen ]3n
or buffaloes and lies down to sleep iet
on straw near the cart or in a barn,,.^
if a farmhouse is near.
Next day he covers another nine taj
or ten miles. Here his load is taken
into horse-drawn carts, which carry
j it more rapidly to the nearest fighting
troops, perhaps twenty miles away. ex.
The teamster then returns, taking sjs
two days, as he had on the outward
trip and on the fifth day rests while me
his cart is being reloaded.
Only bread was thus transported 0f
from Kostendil. It was in good, ter
round, appetizing loves, weighing er;
two pounds of half wheat, half rye mc
bread, which remains soft and palatable
for fifteen days. I had par- t0l,
taken of it myself, as no other was a ,
available. The entire population lives jes
on this bread now. Xo one thinks 'Du1
of baking any other kind during time jn
of war. cIe
Life in these places is now entirely t^i
absorbed by the* war. Two-thirds of rjg
the shops are shut and the owners cra
are carrying rifles and wearing uni- ]
forms. All bakeries have been re- b 1
quisitioned for the army and are on
baking army bread day and night. int
Women and children are helping. ver
School-boys and students wear neat 'ne,
uniforms and help where they can. rer
The students are clerks at the rail- jar
way stations or public offices and act as
as police and constables. On leaving ]

Spartanburg Man in Toils. foi
Spartanburg, March 4.?W. G. th(
Wilson, a well known young man, of 0f
Spartanburg, has been committed to Siu
the county jail on a charge of ob- is
taining money by false pretence. He in
is alleged to have taken subscriptions At
for magazines, but to have failed to pr<
turn in the money to the companies th>
he said he represented. The pub- mc

ses of Resistance to Death When \\*li
Recovery Seemed Impossible.
There is a universal notion that any i
rious injury to or about the brain

this is exemplified by gum-shoe ar- are
ts and Apaches who brain their whi
fortunate victims with blackjacks 3Ut
d sandbags, and by suicidal lunatics acr,
10 shoot out their brains by snap- up
ig the pistol against their temples. abh

Thus, it may be realized how con- f0r
uously the mind of man will fur- (fr(
ar the vital activities of the body. spe(
