I
Every citizen who expects to vote j
ill the primaries this summer will;
have to enroll his name on the club i
I
books, which are now open. The j
books close on the third Tuesday in;
July. See to it that your name is j
properly enrolled on your club book j
before that date. Better attend to j
it today before you forget it.
The entire State sympathizes with j
Senator Tillman in his serious ill- j
ness. Senator Tillman was stricken
with a cerebral hemmorrhage last
Thursdav while he was at his post
in the capitol at Washington. He
has gradually grown worse each day.
and practically no hope is held out
for his recovery. The South Carolina
senior senator has been serving
in the senate continuously for about
25 years. While there is life there J
is hope, and that the aged senator |
may yet survive is the earnest de-1
sire of his many thousands of friends
all over America.
South Carolina is getting some
very undesirable advertising. In
the current number of the Pictorial
Review, in a page advertisement, it
is stated that he percentage of illiteracy
in South Carolina is 25, the
percentage in this State being the
highest in the six States mentioned
as being the highest in percentage
of illiteracy in - the United States.
Our nearest competitor seems to be
Mississippi, with a percentage of 22.
In this connection it is to be borne
in mind that the amount of money
spent on the public schools of South
1 Carolina is the least of any State in
the union. Yet some candidates for
governor are preaching a reduction
of taxes. And the painful part of it
is that some people are going to
lend an appreciative ear to this sort
of talk.
^ < > ?
Major Richards and Mr. McLaurin
are trying to be elected on a platform
to reduce taxes. Both of these
gentlemen, however, tell the voters
that they want to pay the Confederate
veterans more pensions; want
better schools, better roads, etc. They
don't tell you how it can be done,
except they say there are too many
offices. By cutting out even half of
the State offices there would be a
saving probably of a few thousand
dollars. Not a drop in the bucket.
It ycan't be done. The oldest voter
i-n'tho prmntv will tell vou that he
has been hearing candidates promise
to reduce taxes since he was a
boy. They have doubled and treb\
led in the meantime. And, besides,
the governor does not make the ap(ropriations.
He can do nothing
ut recommend and veto. The general
assembly can accept his recommendations
or not, as it sees fit. And
it can pass any appropriation over
his veto. There's no use listening
to a siren's song. Taxes won't be
reduced. Not this year?nor the
/ next.

There has been an effort on the
part of some one in this section to
discredit the loyalty to the administration
of Congressman Byrnes. We
do not know who this party is, but
he is evidently laboring under a
misconception of the facts. The basis
of this attempt to discredit Mr.
Byrnes is evidently Mr. Byrnes's
opposition to the first propos%
ed draft measure. As a matter
"of fact this bill was never presented
to the house, being killed in committee.
It provided that the draft ages
should be fixed from 19 to 25 years,
and provided for no exemptions
whatever. Not one man in a thousand
scarcely would advocate such a
measure now. Further than this,
Mr. Byrnes has been absolutely loyal
' to the presideiit and to the administration
throughout. He is a close
fricmd nf thp nrpsident and as is well
known by readers of the daily newspapers,
the president frequently confers1
with him on matters of a confidential
nature. The Herald hereby
offers a reward of one hundred dollars
to any one who will secure from
the president or any South Carolina
member of congress or South Carolina
senator a statement that Congressman
Byrnes has not been absolutely
loyal to the president and
to the administration, previous to
and since the declaration of war. To
any of those who are inclined to
lend an ear to the opposition to Mr.
Byrnes on this point, we offer the
suggestion that they wait until they
hear him on the stump. *
John L. McLaurin in a statement
printed in the Sunday State, charges
that the ex-governor, who is now a
candidate for the U. S. senate, attempted
to bolt the Democratic party
in 1916. He says that the former
governor told him a number of times
(that he would enter the general election
as an independent candidate,
and that later on he asked McLaurin
to run, which he refused to do. He
alleges further that the former govI
[ ernor tried to induce him to finance
1 an independent ticket. It was then
; that McLaurin says he laid a trap
| to catch the ex-governor, by dictati
ing phoney letters to John G. Capers,
who stands high in the ranks of the
Republican party. These letters, he
says, were dictated to John K. Anil,
campaign manager of the former gov- i
ernor. The originals were never
mailed, but it served, so he alleges,
to trap the disgruntled and defeated
candidate. The whole course of the,
former governor, says McLaurin, was j
dictated by his belief that Hughes j
would be elected president, and the i
ex-governor was in hopes of being ;
able to control the patronage in South i
Carolina. When the Republican
State convention was held, says the
statement, the former governor told j
\V. P. Beard to go to the Republican j
State chairman and put the names'
of himself and McLaurin on the Re-1
publican ticket. McLaurin says he
caught up with Beard and forbade the
use of his name. He says further;
that he has in his possession a letter.
from W. P. Beard in which it is!

stated that the former governor put!
out and even named the Bull Moose
ticket of 1912 and that he encouraged
him to put out the ticket at the
1916 general election. "He then
got cold feet and left me in the
lurch. Now he has deserted me,"
McLaurin quotes Beard as writing ;
him. In a statement published Mon- 1
day the ex-governor denies all the |
charges, as does also John K. Aull, :
who says he never took any dicta- j
tion of letters to John G. Capers;
from McLaurin. \

"Yes."
"Enjoy it?"
"No."
"Why, I heard it was very good." j
"It may have been the best ever, j
for all I know."
"What was the matter?"
"Two women who sat behind me j
kept up a constant line of chatter j
during the whole affair."
"What did they talk about?the
war?"
