THAT FILBERT SPEECH.
The Yorkville Enquirer, replying
to The Herald's editorial last week
regarding the utterance of the former
governor of South Carolina at
Filbert, York county, when he said:
"They talk about a free America. I
don't care what kind of America it
is when I am dead and gone," after
reprinting the editorial in question,
says:
Pretty shrewd political squib this,
and one of many of the same kind
that has been going the rounds lo
these many months."
"The Yorkville Enquirer is a
newspaper of veracity." Thank you,
it tries to be. It would not misrepresent
anybody through fear, favor,
reward or "hope of reward.

or substantially those words, at Filbert,
on the occasion in question, or
he would not have been so reported;
but surely The Bamberg
Herald does not assume that the
Yorkville Enquirer is able to compress
a four column speech into a
column and a half
In order to emphasize the parts of
the speech they did print, both the
State and the Herald undertook to
emphasize the fact that the Enquirer
is "a Blease supporter."
We have reported Mr. Tillman at
Filbert, also Messrs. Lever, Richards,
McLaurin and scores of others,
and we have tried to report one as
fairly as the other.
The testimony that the Yorkville
Enquirer is a paper of veracity
sounds pleasant; but we would not
g^ve much for the veracity of a
newspaper that would be influenced
in its report of a speech by its liking
or disliking the speaker.
If the Yorkville Enquirer is Blease
or anti-Blease, we simply do not
know* it, that is all. We are aware
, that just as'Tillman says he "tied
McLaurin and Blease together," with
the idea of hurting them and benefiting
his own side, different individuals
have tried to tie the Enquirer
and Blease together for the purpose
of injuring both and benefiting themselves.
This paper belongs only to" the
v,?-1 * V> ? nnlitirtionC! linger.
puuusucrs auu uic ^v/uuviuug u?Uv
stand that fact about as well as the
v - public understands it.
Mr. Blease says he is coming to
Yorkville to discuss this Filbert
speech before the people of York
county, and when he comes, the Enquirer
will do as it did in the case
of the Filbert speech?report him as
completely as it can.
The Enquirer also calls The Herald's
attention to a portion of the
speech of the former governor which
we did not reprint. We were not
discussing the former governor's
speech. The question is one of veracity
between the former governor
and the Enquirer. The Enquirer
says the former governor said what
he was reported as saying. The
former governor does not exactly
deny saying it, but he does say "They
knew they lied when they said it."
The Enquirer reiterates that the
former governor says what it report^
ed him as saying. That is sufficient.
That one assertion, that "he didn't
care what kind of America there is
after he is dead," negatives everything
he could have said in favor
of the war.
We did not think it amiss to ask
the Enquirer what it thought about
such a man?especially in view of
the fact that it had supported that
man. We still don't think it amiss.
We have no desire to embarrass the
Enquirer, tmt we feel sure, speakine
from a broad standpoint, it
would not mind saying whether or
not it will lend its support to any
candidate who does not care what
kind of country we have after he is
dead?regardless of how many times
he subsequently vociferates his patriotism.
To be entirely plain, will
the Enquirer support a man who
denounces it as a liar?
When we read the ravings of the
Charleston American about Manning
stealing the election, we are constrained
to think that the American's
editorial page is something like its
personal column?largely mythical.
- ? < > ?
Bamberg county, so far as has been
reported, appears to be the first county
in the State, and perhaps in the
country, to exceed its quota of war
savings stamps during the W. S. S.
campaign. The fact that the quota
has been reached and exceeded, however,
is not to be taken as an indication
that the campaign is over with.
The county is alloted nearly $400,000
worth of stamps during the year, and
it is hoped that practically every dollar
of this immense sum will have
been pledged by the close of the
campaign on June 28th.
News Note?It is reported on good
authority from Atlanta that W. P.
Beard, body-guard to the former
governor of South Carolina, will not
tour the State with the campaign
party this summer, having a pressing
engagement at the federal prison in
that city.
w m < > ?
Friday is Merchant's Day. On that
day practically every merchant of the
county has agreed to invest his total
cash sales in war savings stamps.
Let the people bear this in mind, and
make all the purchases they can on
that date for cash. This suggestion
is not made to encourage useless buying,
but the people are asked to buy
on the day such th'ings as they anticipate
buying in the near future, and.
if possible, pay cash for their purchases.
The merchants will appreciate
this, and it will be a great aid to
the war savings stamp campaign.

IX MEMOKIAM.
In sad and loving memory of our
dear little son. Edwin O'Quinn, who
fell asleep in Jesus on June 18, 1916.
son of .Mr. and Mrs. J. P. O'Quinn.
Two years have passed, but still we
miss him.
Friends may think the wound is
healed;
But there are none who know the
sorrow
Deep within our hearts concealed.
How sad the memory of that morning,
As we stood with breaking hearts,
Seeing tlie one we loved so dearly
Pierced by death's most cruel
darts.
Gone in his age of an infant;
Gone in his fairest bloom;
Buried from us forever
%Deep in a silent tomb.
Our iire is lonesome, home is sad:
Our hearts are filled with pain.
We feel like one who never will have
A. happy day in life aoain.
We often ?it and think of you, darling,
When we are all alone;
for inemo'v is the only friend,
That grief can call its own.
Our very light and love of home
That came, we thought to stay.
To make us happy while we live,
Too soon was called away.
Dearest son. thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God who hath bereft us;
He will all our sorrows heal.
Long days and nights he bore in pain
To wait for cure was 2^ in vain;
But God, who knoweth all things
best, '
Did ease his pain and give him rest.
Dearest son, we have laid thee
' In a peaceful grave's embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished,
Till we see thy heavenly face.
You are gone, but not forgotten;
Never will your memory fade,
For our thoughts will ever linger
Round the grave where you are
loir!
1U1U.
Rest, dearest one, free from all pain;
Your sisters hope in God's kingdom
to meet thee again.
You are not to be forgotten or will
you ever be;
For .as long as life and memory last
we will always think of
thee.
There was an angel band in heaven
that was not quite complete:
God took our darling one to fill the
vacant seat.
MOTHER AND SISTERS. J
IX MEMORY OF EDWIX O'QUIXN.
These few lines I am writing in
memory of Edwin Jacob O'Quinr.
Two years ago today, June 18, the
angel of death came to our home
and took away our beloved brother,
aged nine years, eight: months and
four days.
The little angel band jn heaven was
not quite complete;
So God took our dear loved one to
fill that vacant seat. .
Sleep on, dear one, and take thy
rest;
God took you home?he thought it
best.
His memory is as fresh to me as
the day he nasscd awav.
HIS SISTER, CLARA O'QUIXN.
