JodglBK from the number of can- |dtdatso In the baby courty, Jasper, era wonder who will do the electing If n candidate can poll the candl dates he will be elected. • It will be recalled that Oorernor •Blease at the opening of the session of the legislature sent a message to that body In whclh he denounced all newspaper editors as liars and pimps. It seems that U was sim ply a -case of ci*ylng “stop thief." Several very auspicious conditions have come up In which the Oov emor has been shown to have strained the truth till It cracked. i 2 b ' / th In the course of a very able ser mon preached from the Methodist pulpit Slunday morning. Rev. Hen ry fauthcr. said that should father take his son to Washington ^ *s. ' e should take pride In pointing to the President of th* United Stctes and saying to his son: "There goes a good ar4 great man, one worthy your emulation.or |f on a visit to the State^ipipllol the sr.nie re mark should he made. If the youth of our country cannot he taught to emulate the lenders, those who have positions of authority, then it *ls time to change lenders. Whr.t father is there In ('ol!etor> county, who if informed as to the character of the governor of South (’nrollna. could say to his son: "My son, I desire yen to try to grow up to be a man like Governor ftleaae?" We hr-1 never thought of this matter If* just this light before, but It emphaslsts the very great tm portanoe of always electing good men to office. No matter how humble the official position, it is in the nrlure of a distinction to the holder, and somebody's sot* will try to be like him. The moral effect of having a "bad" man at the head of our government. County, State or National cannot be estimated. ANOTHER CASK OF GRAFT, 0 -Quite r? Her bit of attempted graft haa been unearthed in Co lumbia In the last few days, when n claim was presented to the Ways and Means committee for $1S,5S0 as architect's fees due to the firm of Todd A Benson, of Charleston*. It appeisra that at the last session "of the legislature Governor Blease recommended that the entrances to the State House be Improved by changing the lower entrartee A sub-committee from the committee on Ste-te House and grounds, eon- stating of F. M. Bryan. C. TV Lee. and W, W. Dixon was appointed for the purpose of investigating this matter and having pirns drawn for the suggested improvement,- The aub-committee met and gave the contract to Todd A Benson, archi tects.—Todd being a member of the house of representatives. Plans were drawn for the rddltion of two wings and a new dome, which would cost $1,000,000 to construct. When the sub-committee met last fall In the governor's office and the plaps were submitted. Governor * Bleaae is reported ns havirw sHd that it war beautiful and if It could be passed he would approve thn Act. The Ways and Means committee promptly turned down the bill for tho architects fee f-nd the house hat ordered an investigation to flftfl Qitt who la responsible for nnclTsflHlhr to architects. The eftr-' templated changes would hardly kano coat aa much aa this fee. The expenditure of a million dollars would entitle Todd A Benson to a»^ t«« of IfMd*. Things are shaping themselves la South CaroHua for a moot loUroot- 1^ and bitter political campaign this your. Tko principal interest will he abowa In the race for governor, which it appears now will ho aarrowod down to two ear- dldatoo. jtho present incumbent. Coin 1. Blease. and former Chief Jnotice lr» B. Jones. True, Jno. T.. Duncan will alao ror*. but hia race will not amount to anything. That Governor Blease has lost ground with amcaing rapidity since the legislature has been In sessions even his moat ardent supporter* cannot deny. The legislature haa panned a number of Acta over hi* ve*r, rod haa “sat upon" him In almost every matter which haa com* before It. , Composed of men* who have their fingers on the pulse of the people In'^every sec tion of the State. It 1* practically certain that the members, of tho legislature are mec4 of the "people at heme.” If this be true, and It la we opine, then Blease had better bestir him self or some of hit "frlende* will not he looked after. The Governor's official acta and the reasons therefor, are not In mrny instances corvlndng. and he la placed In unenviable light. He can rest assured, alao, that the people of the State wHl not vote uninformed. Hit opponent I* a trr-lned and able campaigner. Ira B Jones la "one of the hoy*." when it come* to winning vote*, having demonstrated hi* r-blllty and ■hrewdnes* In the '90'* when he was one of the lender* in the re form movement. The liquor que*- t|on will not figure in the cam paign. and if it doe*, both Blease and Jones are local optlonist*. so it wil> be r- choice of men. We do not aee where" there can be hut one Issue from an election be tween these two men. The Pres* and Standard in this and In all matter* tries to *tr<nd for the best In men and measures, and with the lights before us now we cannot fav or the further prostitution of this high office by continuing in office .Mmy. bakHIq POWDER • Mmmitrtmfy Purm / * Abmmimtmiy hum no substitute Be Many mixtures are offered as substitutes for Royal.

Gov ernor Blease bitterly assailed the press of South Caroliia, and was especially ferocious in his assr-ult* upon the Columbia State and its editor, although he branded the whole tribe of newspaper men in this Stale ?*s a ilirtv set of liars The message with exhibits attach ed covers fifteen typewritten pages.

'dirty,' 'cowardly,' 'as sassin-like,' Mowdown,’ 'unscrupul ous,' 'malicious' and ‘contemptible.’ The goverror recites a long list of stories which he sas have been the present governor.
