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.

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.
Ye freinds of truth > v o statesmen
who survey
The Rich man’s Joys increase, the
poor's decay; ,

limits stand.

P. Kimball, formerly ropi
tatlTo, cosily heads the Hat as aa af-'l
ter-dlnaer speaker aad has a close
second to Col Bala, the well known
temperance lecturer, while Judge
Jamee Mulligan Is a real wit and
poet.
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.
And. gentlemen.” here KimbaU’s
dropped almoet to a whisper,
valleys are so infernally low
t >pu may reach down and hand
Ice water to the Republicans who
have gone helow.”
But it redtgins for Judge Mulligan
to reel of poetry extemporaneously
by the foot, yard or mile.
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. Judge Mulligan-followed
him with what was bonsidored by
those present as a fitting rebuke
Here it is:
