WEDNESDAY. JUNE 17, 1A14.
The editor of the Hampton Guar
dian seems to think that we were
very much worried over an automd-
Mle which passed through town it
the rate of four mlhg per hour,
which was correct. We will say
that it was not the sire of the car,
nor Its speed that pave us such
gra\c < oncern. but tlm fact that it:
destination was Hampton.
MIC. I’Ol,LOCK'S DKt'LARATION.
if all candidates practiced what
W. P. Pollock preaches in his lette.'
p , to the voters of South Carolina, then
assuredly*the moral of politics and
the general standard of citizenship
of Soiith Carolina would he raised
to a high degree. If every man
• - ,
whether national, state or munici
pal would enumerate such princi
pals and live up to his profession
there would be no need of the pri
mary reforms. Vote buying would
be stopped. P.allot box stuffin,?
would not he a thing to be guarded
-against. If all menr did this there
would he no unfairness to any in
dividual offleeheeker. Each man
would have the ranic chime that he
"o\v has. Mud slinging and politi
cal chicanery is not necessary as a
resort to get Into office. If all act
with fairness.
Every man who offers for an of
fice of any kind, should first feel
that he Is qualified to do the duty
that such a position requires. He
should then offer his services to his
state,. county or town. n«( through
selfish ambition or for the pecuni
ary reward which be expects to gei
out of It, but because be feels that
his services are needed. He should
feel that his duty Is discharged when
he has offered his services sad not
that he should resort .to an upturn
ing of everything upon the face of
the earth in order to have his serv
ices accepted. He has sertainly done
enough when he has offered and it
seems as If the only right thing to
do would be to let the people do
their own selection. I^et them de
cide whether or not they wish to
accept his services.
Some candidates will say this is
not politics and that wlten a man
j
goes Into a race he ought to go in
to wis. We know that this is not
politics as the term is commonly
used, but politics is wrong If it sets
selfish ambition above the public
welfare of his state. If political
practice meana that any man should
sacrifice the very principles upon
which a democracy is founded, then
away with the common meaning of
the term. When any nation, statu
or community reaches such a point
that the will of the people is sub
veited and there is not room for
the exercises of the God-given right
of the masses to choose whom they
would to hold office, then It has drtf
tod into tb^same current ^of dem
agotuary and corruption that has
hurlod the grout nations of hiMory
into destruction. .
Tbo recent primary reform hai
' heralded the fact that the people of
feoUfh Carolina are waking up to \
realisation that (here has been a
subversion of Justice, a mocking of
patriotism, a sacrifice of public spir
it for the selfish purposes of polit
ical aspirants.- This has come, we^
hope, as the beginning of an awak
ening that shall cleanse our com
monwealth of that most pernicious
monster. Machine Politics. Mar
the time hasten when men will of
fer th{ir services solely Is the in
terest of the country they claim to
held dearer then life itself. Not
one baadldate do we believe, would
beeitnte to give bis life blood on tbc
field of buttle to save bis country
Then why sacrifice it for petty am
bition, for political prestige, for the
■elfish lust of the almighty dbliar.
: What we hare said is not to be
construed ss an effort bo our part
l n behalf of Mr. Pollock, but iq clr*
ply the expression of the idea sug
gested by bis declaration. We do
not know that Mr. Pollock means to
live ug to all be has set forth, but
we de know that tbs should be not
only the profession of every candi
date but the actual principle upon
which be conducts hid campaign.

the New Primary
Regulations.
Washington, June 15.—Harry K.
Thaw today was denied release on
ail pending consideration by the
supreme court of bis extradition
from New Hampshire.
The court likewise declined to
grant the auxiliary request of Thaw
tp be taken to Pittsburgh in the cus
tody of Sheriff Drew ( of Coos coun

The nttentlon of our readers is
celled to the notice appearing gin
another column from M. P. How
ell, county chairman, to the effect
that the new rules provide that all
voters In the coming primary must
sign their full names.
This rule is plain in that respect,
and the officers are anxious that all
comply with If- I" York county,
enrollment was begun over again,
because many voters had signed
their initials only, and in order to
be on the safe side, all voters of
Colleton county are urged to bear
this In mind.

Jessie W. Scott, Milledgevil!-\
Ca., writes: "I suffered jwith an
eruption for years and one bos of
Tetterine cured me and two of my
friends. It is worth its weight in
gold.” Tetterine quickly relieves
iskln diseases Including eczema, tet
ter, ringworm.-acne, blackheads, al
so best remedy known for Itching
piles. 50r at druggists or by mail

To improve the appetite and

colts fiom the mares we have. I do
not wish to disagree with or divert;
from this recommendation. The
pur** bred-idre fs indispensable. In
my own limited experience I have
found that colts are always very
much like their dams In confortua
I Jtave had 14 colts from Id dif
ferent mares, only one of which is
registered; ethers, grades and non
descripts. There are 10 different
sires represented; three German
coach, three standard, two IVreher
on and two unknown. About half
of these stallions were registered,
others very high grades.*
Every one of these colts without
u single exception has been almost
exactly like .their dams in form, ac
tion and disposition. There has
'ieen more variation- in color than
n any other particular. A white
dam and bay sire produced a sorrel
colt. A pair of black mares oy a
light bay stallion raised dark bay
colts. A colt from a blind mare baa
toed eyes at 18 years of age, an
other from a mare with good eyes is
*Hnd at four years. The offspring
of the honest, true pullers, when
harness is put on them and they are
told to go, move right off without
trouble, those from balkera never
will press the coilas hard.
The generally conceded superior
ity of ttre mule over the Jinny
seems to suggest the same thing.
It- seems to me that the wisest
thing to do to get proper farm
teams is to buy the best mares you
ctm gdt-instead of mules. I would
rather have a pair of Penheron or
bigh grade Percheron mares weigh
ing 3,900 pounds or more, if sound
and ail right for a farm team, than
any pair of-mules that^ver wore
harness. If you have mares of that
type; whether you raise horses or
mules, when mated to good sires,
vou will obtain good results.—N.

The attention o/ every voter in '
Colleton county !s called to that j
i portion of sec tion 11 of the new •
rules governing primary elections, i
which reads ns follows: ' Each ap
plicant for enrollment ‘-hi-ll in per
son write upon the t lub roll his
FI LL name, and immediately there
after hiv asr<\ occupation and post-
office address,” etc. This rule mans
what it says, namely, that each vo
ter must sign his full name and not
hi- xjdals Ail of those xoiers who
hav.. sien. (1 th.-ir initials are re-
spec:fullv • asked to re-enro!l jby (
signing their full names. This may
appear as a nTere techn!cr.iity to
many, but ,tt is- the desire" of the
county committee that the new rule-.
. « lived up- to in every respect in
Colleton county. At. least. It will
».« no hardship to sign the full name
and all voters are urged to do so.
