Tou mak* me feel so “loetlo" wh*a you toll the good people of the whole Stato of “Colleton” that I esnpet get the proper meaning out ofiis plain aa editorial as yours of the 19th Inst. It is a pity that after so many years of hard studying try ing to learn how to diagram. I, in my “old” days, mak* such c, twist on a simple sentence like that. '' w do you euppoo* I made such a mistake, Mr. Editor? Don't you think I got th* proper sense out of It and then my pencil slipped and made me say it wrong f Please say yes aad help ms out some for I feel “surmenjus leetle”. now. Mr. Editor, I will say frankly, V did make my piece last week sound a little rougher than I thought you meant it. b*t I do not yet see where >ou find snch a “twist” in the meaalag I got. You plMnly said that It was those lawbreaker* and criminals who yell ed when the Governor referred to you at the campaign speaking. I don’t suppose lawbreakers and criminals are termed ho~'*able men nor do I suppose those who yelled at that time are anything but Blgr.veites and yen failed to say that anyone but law breakers and criminals yelled, heace I get the meaning from your editorirj that lawbreakers aad criminals will com pose the Bieas* vote in CoHeton. Tee, it does seem a tittle strange that I am the only one of your reeders who read such a meaning Into your editorial. Perhaps Mr. Editor, you have not heard the sentiment of many of your read ers. I am gird to say I know a few who got th* same footiah manning f got oat of it. A pity too, that “'any of as go wfM at th* tarn* time. t Yes, I yelled as load as I coaid when th* governor referred to you. but wra so wsak-knsed from a lit* could not yell a* loud as I would Jisv* liked. • ^ Now, Mr. Editor, as Governor Blease is too much rasceJ to he re elected we would like to . hear sotrethiKf '.hrough our •open «oi>- t»rninf the good qm^tie* *f Jnn«w and Duncan, so tf you editors do hang Governor Bleaee, wo will know which of th* other two to vote for. But. pshaw! we don’t see how you will find space in your columns to mention Jones or Dun can till Bleree Is out sure enough. Blease must be a very popular gentleman as all the papers are so newsy with hit doing, look where you will rod you’ll eee please, Blease, Blease. That’s what I say. B'esze. Blease, Blease, and fhore Rler.?e Go ahead editors, whoop It out. We’ll soon have a chance to vote for Blease again. Mr. Editor.
