Ruffin, July 22.—Editor
aad Staadard: Oh my! 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. I truer? your reply to
this will put me out of huslners
a:-d as I don’t expect to wfte rny
ni dre. I will! help yon to Interpret
the handwriting you raw on
wall about the 3rd Inst. You said
It Interpreted, meant, ”Go ’way
back Coley, and slf donn”, I
think you have twisted the wrong
mer-ning Ir/o it. '
It reminds me of an old darkey’s
dream In which he saw a Mr
white wall with three Mg letter* on
It. ”0 P...C ” He thought he^ un
derstock it, but to be certain ne
went to an..old negro preacher fer
his advice. The prercher wanted
his interpretation af!r«u and he said'
"Well, ! hab o*s down like dh."
"Go precrh Chriet.” The old
preaclirr rr.’d, "No. yon , h.ab 1*
