Politics over for a little while at least About a doten buildings nuder construction in Walter boro; "Watch ■•er grow.** Soon the noise of the ppytieian and the cry of the hanger-oawill r> ; Did you have to walk soma dist ance on the streets of Walterboro Friday night after the llhgts were oqt? HDD! MUD! freely by both sides la tbs which closed^ yesterday. oT the eapeMltg(es of the two can didates range from 910,000 each as high ns 975,000 each. Rumors are heard that open bidding for votes was common yesterday at the dlf- ereat polls In the county. ■Bjich rumors thff 9500 was sent to small polls In Colleton County—polls vot ing leas than one bandred votes—are spoken abost without hesitation on the streets this morning. Many are saying that one candidate a week ago had the county bought but that the other candidate lame Into the laid and jfava a little^ {tore, and thus secured his majority. Now, there are just two ways of looking at this matter, one is that the people who are talking such are (corrupt themselves; the other that the election was not the voice of the people but the voice of the dollar. The first viewpoint of course infers that the rumors of corruption, bri bery and Intimidation are untrue; his second that such things are true and that the people of their own accord 'had nothing to do with their votes. However, much money has been used. We cannot get that belief otit of our minds. The evidences of it are strong. . ' v The Press nnd standard, .t though much pressure was brought to bear, by both , sides, decided ' to stay oht of this fight and did stay out. This PW«r did not support either man, ahllfno one knows for whom the Editor voted except him self. But this election is over, and we are not playing politics when we raise our voices in condemnation of money being used in the election. Understmuk us clearly; we are not criticising one side more than the other; but we must take the view that liberty, honesty, and free gov ernment are at stake when money Is used to influence an election. One side says that they were only fight ing Are with Are; the other gives the same excuse. The first question is. Who started it? The second—Do two wrongs make a right? Therefore, the logical conclusion Is that neither side was Justified in attempting to ke the election the voice of the dollar rather than the voice of the people. Centuries ago. Goldsmith said: Only seven or eight have already announced for Governor, hut about twenty other announcements are ex pected dally.’ The days of baseball are upon us once again, and everyone from the small boy to the bald-headed en- thiiKlast is talking of home runs, and f.ne pitching. • We wish to commend the "spirit of respect for the dead as manife.'Oed in tiie memorial exercises of the different churches'Yhroui.hout tW win;*. te A pretty Kit.iatirtii was presented for the voters lie lore the ejection of Tuesday. One of the candidates claimed that the other was but the tool of a vindictive political machine, while the other was equally an strotiR in charging that the first had betray ed the working man while in the Legislature. We have received recently two excellent Special Editions of papers, one the water power numbec of The (Coiumbiaj Daily Record, the other the educational *gnumher of The Laurens Advertiser. Both editions were excellent in subject matter, method of treatment and mechanical arrangement. That Congressman which has promised us drainage will have a hard time before him, hut we wish to serve notice that we have already in behalf of the people of Walterboro made the claim that the Ashepoo •4 River from the sea to its head be drained first. * We are in position to ‘tate that the work will begin on this river on April 1. 1926. It is delightful tp talk and dream of draining the lowlands of this section, but let’s carefully avoid waiting to long for this, (’an wc not. while drainage is yet in the distance, develop those aiailabie lands which we now have to u higher state? Think of drainage • t'will do you good; develop your dry lands now— t'will return a bountiful profit. WHAT WILL %’Oi’ IK) AHOl TJT? ‘Ill fares the land, to hastening ilia a prey, {Where wealth accumulates and men decay.” Is such s condition upon us now? Think it over. While the man who purchases the Votes cannot he blamed too much, yet far greater blame rests upon the seller thnn the buyer. The seller of a vote is giving *or money that which alone he «an call his own. If no one would sell hia vote and all look upon it as the' great privilege when it is made so ehyir to h in tiiat who would offer lo buy. 0 lt i.s hard o blame a person for buying votes hen it i smade so clear to hii.t tba' votes i.uii be bought. It is said that the poor man •an- not run for .oflice again. We aie too optimistic to believe such state ments. We have loo much confi dence in the belie) that all of the. people cannot and will not go wro/tg ill of the tims. We must think that if money did decide the election that it was only a temporary slip of the conariences of the rank and file of the voters of this county, and that such will not continue. It is said that le result of this campaign will be felt in county politics hereafter anl that monsy will be the deciding fee- tor. If that be true, then well may we stop and consider that the basis of free government, the right to ex ercise the huilot free untramelle i aid unbribed is destroyed and tha wc are upon the governmental quicksands whi<h must lead to an- .m by, dishonesty and destruction. The call rings clear: cleanse the election system. Our duty is well marked: he men—men who cannot >u bought for a mass of potage. Our opportunity is present; rise ft the strength of "sons' of men who ’ought that freedom might reign: and-that corruption knight forever be destrojed.

It was while in Boston delivering a lecture to a crowd of blue stocking temperance people that Col Baitr-was {accosted with the question: ‘How is it. Col Bain, tkat you have the nerve to preach temperance when you come from Kentucky, The state that has mere diaUHerleo than any other state In the union?” For a moment, and only a moment. Col Bain was embarrassed. Then came the reply without hesitancy: "Oh, yes. Kentucky. Kentucky, the the state where I was born; {"Where-the corn is full of kernels and the kernels fun of com.” Returniug home from Washington after serving his time in Congress n banquet was tendered to Mr Kim ball. He had expected to make a speech in which he would review his congressional career. To his sur prise the Toastmaster did not call for this, but asked Mr Kimball to re spond to the toast "Kentucky.” The Congressman was clearly at a loss, and In sheer desperation he blurted lout: "Kentucky. Fair-Kentucky." o Here he stopped to drink a sip of water. When he resumed there was no hint of hesitation. "Kentucky, the grandest state in the union, the state where the ground.Jifso mellow that alt you have to do ia to tickle its sides and it yields abundant crops. Iveritucky, O. Kentucky, where the grass is greener, where the sky is bluer, where the whiskey is "better, where women are more beautiful, where the horses are faster, where politics is rottener, where feuds are thicker, where the mountains are higher ana the valleys are lower than in any other stole In the union. Why. my God. gentlemen, be lieve me. the mountains are so high la Kentucky that from the topmoet mountain peak you may rpach up aad tickle the feet of the sainted Democrats who have gowe before.

Recently the Democrats of Ken tucky suffered a crushing defeat and, commiserated one -• Soother at at spread. One of the speakers had de clared that in hid opinion Democracy was dead.
