SEPTEMBER 11, 1922. Bl.E \SE OR McI.EOD? The Rev. Baxter Mcl.endon is out for Cote L. Blease for governor, in page defence of the pardoning record of ex-Governor Blease. The long article is tearful, heart-moving, sob stuff of which th" reverend gentleman ? . -Vould be ashamed. He says ne was it one time the hitter enemy of Cole L. Blease. Now he regards him ?t: atest governor South Carolina r had. He bases this judgment upon the pardoning record of ex-Governor Blease. In answer to the long plea of the tearful minister, who, according to his own statement, wis repudiated by every Methodist mill ister of South Carolina .it is only necessary to say that according to the rds Mr. Blease pardoned 82 mer d (f rape and 411 men con d of taking human life. Why cannot the Reverend McLendon save a few of his tears for the victims of the rapists and the victims of the man slayers ? Widows and orphans and outraged women should certainly come in for a few tears. But the Reverend ? McLendon has not one word of pity for the dead and the ravished. It is a mockery, pure and simple. This sob stuff is the very thing that, more than any other one thing, is underinining the law in this state. We ' r. a jrjvat howl, threaten to lynch e cused, and then, after the courts n e passed upon the case and the ' riminal is convicted, we begin the "th-.-.I to sympathy. We easily forget the crime in our sympathy for condemned criminals. We lose ;ght of the fact that civilization canrot exist without law and that witheryriUL^e lose sight of the fact that peaceful, law-abidincr citizens have *>o defense save the law, and when v>n iaw is made void, the honest citi?en is left at the mercy of the thins d the murderer. Any man, with a heart of pity sorows over the sad plight of the condemned criminal. But that is no reason for destroying tlv; law by wholesale pardons. Had Mr. Please pardoned tea covicted rapists and ten convicted man-killers, nobody would have found fault. Occasionally, rarely, we believe, tbere is some serious doubt as to the justice of a sentence. But, remembering th: t every prisoner has been convicted b> jury, and has come into the courthouse \ with the presumption of innocence, i' is impossible that there should be the necessity for a wholesale pardoning Who is the governor of a state? Is be superior to judge, jury, law? Does constitution of the State give him r;cht to sot up his own will as nil? The people of this Stn*v -"d to come to their senses? So 'ont as there are hideous crimes there wi'l exist the necessity for harsh laws. The law is fi stern master. I* is necessary that this be so, othervise it is only a sham. Cole L. Blease 1 rnuch to brincr the laws of mto disrepute. The seeds ' wing are now bearing fruit . '<">- ? of crimr> that is sweeping 4a4<\ The very thing he holds up s a reason for electing him is the very thing that is one of the strongest reasons why he should not be elected.

You cannot have the reign of law under the rule 1 of Cole L. Blease. Railway train service between Oklahoma City and Tulsa was held up for several days recently by the drill- ( ing of a ga? well some 150 feet from the tracks. The well proved to be a "gusher" and the escaping gas was so thick over the railway tracks that it was feared operation of trains , through it might result in ignition and consequent loss of life and property.

Writes About Music Mr. L. M. Rice, Union, S. C. >oar Mr. Editor: W 11 you please allow me a little i.'uv your valued columns. 1 shall ' 2 a.? brief as possible, and I think le subject is and I think should be" considered a very important subject nd that is the subject of music and the best way in which to Improve the nprove the music in Union county. The best way at this time and the jiel est way, I believe, would be to ? rganize a Union county singing conent'on, invite all the different .hutches in Union county to meet at < !ic court house and all denominations t > take part in the convention. J l ave already talked with scores >f ] .op!e who <>i j very much enthused over the proposition. I am very sure that we can make a success of it if we Iy will try. We have Union county folks who know how to run the convention and we~have some good singrs, out we should have ten times as i lany as we have. We have musical talent and a lot of it if it had the proper training. I don't mean voice t raining exclusively, but I mean train v/ JTometKir.g about music. Fill the court house full of folks. My, couldn't they sing? It is Impossible for me to go and see everybody and ret your idea about having the conception or go into the full details on the subject. I hope all the singers i i Union county and all the folks who 1 ke music will come and take part i.i the singing if we decide to have the convention. I would be glad to hear from any < ne who may be interested in this subject. It will cost nothing except a few hours' time. Respectfully, J. C. Mitchell. Union, S. C. Flapper's Reign at an End Chicago, Sept. 10.?That the reign of the flapper is at an end and rather limn her abbreviated skirt, exposed k u*e ; and bobbed hair will appear a graceful, long-skirted figure, with hair piled high on her head and pink c-.iJo showing, is the unanimous decree of fashion for. the fall and winter by leading American fashion arti ;ts who compose the membership of the Fashion Art League of America, here for the Thirty-fourth semi-annual convention. Contrary to the usual pre-meeting i os.rip of business and plans for strategic maneuvers and swinging convention policies, the advance uard ' f the more than 200 fashion eators who are expected to attend, vened up ihe hours by drawing descriptive pictures of startling new leas they have in gowns, wraps, -.uits and other women's apparel to he displayed for Madame's approval. Mme. Alia Ripley, president of the league, promises some alluring departures in feminine costume. The elaborate semi-annual feature of the League, the "Fashion Show Fxtraordinarie," will be held on the afternoon and evening of Wednesday, Sept. 13. The creations will be entirely those of American fashion rtists, ami will be featured on the most attractive mannequins available. "The league has accomplished a work of outstanding importance in bringing the American fashion artist to the attention of the women of America," declared Mme. Ripley.

Circular to County Auditors And County Treasurers Gentlemen: Below you will find copy of a joint : eso'.ution extending the time for payi.lent of taxes, with certain penalties. "A JOINT RESOLUTION To Extend the Time for the Paying of State and County Taxes for the Year 1921 Until June 1st, 1922, with Certain Penalties. "Section 1. Be it resolved by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: That the time for the payment of taxes for the yeav 1921, be extended to June 1, 1922, with the following penalties: Ad J for taxes paid during January, one per cent; during February, two per cent; during March, three per cent: uring April, five per cent; during "lay, six per cent; and on taxes paid after June 1st, eight per cent; and that said penalties be not cumulative And immediately after June 1st, 1922, the County Treasurer of the various counties of the State, respectively, shall write up executions for all unpaid taxes and hold the same until September 1st, 1922; at which time they shall turn over to the Sheriff for collection all unpaid executions. And any delinquent taxpayer shall have the right to pay his taxes, covered by such execution, to the Treasurer ai any time prior to September 1st. 1922, without any additional cost, otner than the penalties herein provid tl for, and the usual one dollar fee a'lowed the Treasurer for prepai-ir.g and issuing executions. And the I Treasurer shall be entitled to credit . for such executions on hand in his a . nual settlement with the Comptroller I General. "Section 2. That the pay men1. <.-.r ! taxes any time within the time herein provided shall be deemed and taken as payment within time allowed by law and any one paying taxes within said time shall be allowed to vote :n i any general, uprimary, municipal regI istration, or special election thercaf tor during 1922." Walter E. Duncan, Comptroller General. This $1.00 Treasurer's cost is put on under the law of the .State of South Carolina, for the extra work it takes to make up the executions, i These executions were made out during the months of June and July ann I had to pay for extra help to help me do this work. In addition to th>.-:. the law, as it is now, requires me to even collect these executions instead of having the sheriff to collect as heretofore. Consequently, I have had to pay for extra help for two months as well as being forced to stay in the office to collect these executions, thereby saving the belated taxpayers the sheriff's cost, which would have been $1.25. By the'law having me to collect the executions instead of the sheriff, has, as I have stated, saved the taxpayer $1.25. J. H. Bartles, C-7-9-11 Treasurer Union County.
