Query: Wljat part did Sam Ntrhoia play In tbe Spartanburg <11*- grareful affair? IIr. Caadldata for the Legislature la Colleton county: How do you •land on the Governor's race? Get ready your answer. Fathers, think of this when you ▼ote for g^eraor on the 27th inat: Would you like for your son to gro i ap to be n man like Cole. L. Blease or Ira B. Jones? Can you say to your boy: "Son, 1 wish you to be like the man I voted for today”. Uhltcd States R. O. Rkett, then mayor of Char* fcstoo, although we dauht not that he had the proof with htm to back up<*every charge made, yet we be lieve Grace felt he was doing •sis duty, as he feels he Is doing to day la exposing the crookedness and rascality of one C. h- Blease. * Bat whatever the motive. May* or Grace had been invited to go to Spartanburg aad address an audi ence at the Harris Theatre Saturday night. He accepted the Invitation In good fstth and went; fust as he had done In tbe afternoon of the same day when he went to Gaffo?y, and was accorded a courteous re ception.* ss the chief executive of the largest city in South CarollniT should have been accorded., Spar- tenburg, whatever views may have been entertained as to the speak er. should have had the decency to allow him to speak unmolested, or to' have exhausted every effort in attempting to get for him a re spectful heartr*. Such was not done. Rather the meeting was turn ed over to ~a gang of toughs who went there for the parpos^ of howl ing down the speaker, and what is the most serious phase of the mat ter, they were*Jrinked at by the authorities not to say encouraged by them. The mayor wilfully ab sented himself from the meeting. Result: Free Speech deiXed and a city disgraced. The argument will be advanced that Mayor Grace la not a candi date. Neither is Sam Nichols, of .V-% ; We have 1*^ V s \ t md er AHua* waunuoao a a ~ />" Aconrr, t hh. air ; aad a moT# programivw policy.

But we cannot close without again publicly expressing our thanksj to the faithful end conscientious “force” who have labored with us in getting out the newspaper and the great amdunt of commercial printing we have done during tbe past year. Our thanks.are also due dictagraph fame. He has been spetR t |, e un tiring corps of correspondents ing since bis fall, and, confessed drunkkrd though he Is, he has been given a respectful hearing— no Jones 'men hare attempted to prevent hia speaking. The better element In Spartaubur denounces this disgraceful affair and e-re loud in their denunciation of the city authorities. A petition haa been signed asking Mayor John son to resign, and a reorganisation of the police force is demanded. The point we wish to empbesite in this affair is that it seems to be characteristic of Blease's fol- who have kept us informed of the happenings in their communities. May their shadows never grow leas. Let us all, friends, get together in r-n effort to bring to p^sa many great things for Colleton county In the next year. You can help, and we shall be pleased to co-operate wtth you. We promise to do our best. * The editor of The Press and Standard has spent nearly all his life in Colleton county. Everything he haa and all he holds dear are in lowers. Judging from the campaign thI , county . The ncrud dust of meetings. Especlc-Uy do we Hisji to drive home this,thought—Voter*: Are you willing to continue In pow er a regime which sanctions such unfair and disgraceful tactics; whos candidate for the highest office openly counsels violation of law and Indus by hia examples such scenes? What are YOU going to do about it» It is your fight as much as curs. Are YOU willing to pl&ce on such an administration the vote# will tell. A NOTH Kit MILESTONE PASSED. The Spartanburg Herald’s editor ial com men f on the performance of the riot* re: “Tbe city and the county are yAffr&ced by an exhibi tion of auar^by that feae never be fore been equal?* In this State and the deepest humiliation cornea from the fact that there were present daring the whole riotous evening the chief of police and hia officers aad the sheriff of the county, all •f whoa failed utterly to measure ■P to tho demands upon their cour age aad their ability. There were nut more than 80 men in tbe or ganised band of disturbers,, yet these men there as representatives of Bleaseism la this county, made .whimpering weaklings of tbe offic ers of tbe law c-nd cried down the speaker of the evening at regular in tervala—to say nothing of the dis graceful incident in which the throw lag of eggs at the speaker figured. Here we have the evidence of the undermining and degrading influen ces of a leader who is himself 'n league with the criminal aud the i lawless.” GR.%5>rti HOWLING DOWN. -With this Ubue The Press and Standard passes c-'iother milestone under the present management. This makes the sixth, the newspaper hav ing been purchased August 6, 1906 by the present editor and pro prietor, from a former owner and editor, Jas. E. Peurifoy, Esq. There would doubtless ht-ve been one less hcwspgper man In South Carolina could we have foreseen the trials and tribulations incident to the life, but having gotten into it, there ia a' fasciuation and an in terest In the work that no other occupation gives. There are no dull momenta In newspaperlng, - espec ially in campaign years, ar.-i plenty to do at all times. During thie time the editor he* gotten to know a great many oft the readers personally, & fact nearly all of them. % We feel that they are for the most pa-rt sympathetic and desire to see us prosper and succeed according to our merits, but every now and then we rile one and tben we come in for a good sound round of abuse ar.J cen sure. We have gotten accustomed, however, to this kind of abuse, and it affects us very much like the proverbial water poured on the duck's back. If a fellow hol lers It is' a sure sign that you are getting in some good work, and It adds a little sent. Then, tod, it breaks the monotony for the other ^fellow. So after all it U pretty good perhaps that a newspaper does hia parents and kindred reposes In her soil, sd3 to the county la given hia best thought and endeavor. He does not know himself if bis ev ery wish is not for the betterment of the conditions in the county of his choice., He, therefore, desires to promulgate through the columns of this newspaper only those things which will help build up our coun ty and our common good. He feels the sacredness of the duty r-nd ■~ , f1te importance of the<opportunity which is his as editor of this newspaper. He knows that many of his peo ple in every section of the county look to him ard to this newspaper for the Information which will shape their impressions on ques tions of public weal or woe. Mr-ny of them have no other way of learn ing of theae things except through The Press and Standard, as this Is th® only newspaper which reaches their home and fireside.

He said: “Is there a man in this audience who wants his son to be a Cole L. Blease?” He then asked anyone present who wished his son to be like Blease to stand up. No one stood up How many would stand up in Colleton county? Would YOU 7 Americans have fair play. The chivaJric and brave in South Cartv Jina have- fair play. The tactics of hoodlums and toughs are detest ^ aAle.

We hape even campaign, tot the nerve to carry to do much better Id the future, them out to the fullest extent wta a kind friend informed us in . a Governor Blease must not be so confident of his re-election. At Camden Monday he said: “Suppose they n-re lucky enough to beat me. I will 'have all of September. Octo ber. November and December, part of January, apd If you ever saw men sweat, I’ll make that gang sweat blood before I get through with them.” Isn’t this nice lan guage for a man- supposed to be governor of all -the people? Can South CaroliniE-ns be driven by the lash of such a man to vote for him August 27? We do not believe It. We cannot believe it. County Union Meets.
