JANUARY 13,1915. ueatMLj mblyr of South CaroUna Convened Taasday at tb-y ■Uto capital. Tbs Colleton dologn- tlon loft without saying what thsy ng. or that ts without did boom of tho other i, % and making known some of their plands. Suffice It ts say, the voters of tho county have faith enough In tholr ability to enact such legislation as jney be best for tho state and the county. There is, however, one measure of vast Importance that they might consider, and we hope they will. The present governor, empowered aa ho la. has taken a step that no other governor in South Carolina has ever taken. H©, has pardoned more men than all tNe other governors put to gether. He atill has In mind par dons for others. We think the leg. ialature should take from him, in his last days as govecnor, his pardon ing prerogative. We hop© Colle ton's delegation will go down in his tory as having helped restrain a power that none other than th** legislature can restrain. The writer has never fought the gov“rnor. The writer wants it un derstood right here and now that h« has never fought the governor, but he also wants It knqwn that when h man takes It upon himself to pardon men and criminals as a revenge, that h n Is in favor of taking steps that win stop such practices. Governor Blease has only a few more days p.3 chief executive of the state. He has been governor for four y^ars. He was elected there, by the majority of people, on two occasions, and he has seen fit to spite those that tri»d to defeat him. The men that fought hin\ are coming into their own now, and they # will recall a part of some of the Bpee<h"8 that he made in his campaign over the state in which he ssld that "you cannot help yourself," and they will alio rejoice that he N gone and that tbs tables are turned and that the governor cannot help ' himself. He has pardoned men that should have been pardoned. He should |iave stopped there. Rut did he do M? No, he went further ammm anmenn Phone No. 10X rems, Smoaks, Mrs. F. P.

Crosby were made glad by the thought of all be ing together with father and mother on such a sweet and sacred day as Christmas Day. Words are inadi 1 - iuate to express the pleasure en joyed by Mr. and Mrs Crosby at the home.coming of their children. For many years hadjtassed since.th o y all had been together ou Christmas. But this reunion of Dec. 26, 1914 marks \ time in the history of this family awff pardoned men that he said he j never to be forgotten, would lead s mob to lynch. In the| The following are the names of words of the Columbia Record, we Mr. and Mrs. Crosby's children, also asy: "Surely South Carolinians will have forfeited their ancient and hon- Orable reputation for the "gamecock" spirit If they submit to this gross ex hibition of usurpation and Indignty to ther mother state wthout a show of resenting it.

I want to state right now that I o©.vr have received any pay and don’t le'- lieve that there is a magistrate In the County that r.-ould do scuh i thing, this would he a serious mat ter. It Would be Bribery, The giv«r and accepter of bribes would be sent to the Penitentiary for long terms If convicted. It’s too- serious a matter to be treater lightly, and i.f such con-^ ditions exist it ought to be known, and if such conditions don’t exist, Subscriber oifftht to be more care ful than to put it in print or use it any way. 1 don’t doubt that sime tiger may have boast“d that he was paying some magistrate to let him s-MI. but if he did he was very foolihs tiger as the crime of bribery is much high- Billy Sunday, Rill Rryin and the rest of the men who have had tho publicity for the last few weeks will now have to take a back seat. Th© governor will have the light for a • bile. v ' » HW The York News say* that there is a lot of stuff being printed about good roads in Yark county. Il« al so adds that the farmers of that j or than that of selling w hiskey. I county can give some Information ns! >" subscriber to lay all the to the bad roads. Ditto, for Colic.} particulars before the Magistral-’ ton, brother. who these tigers w->re talking rbout. x {also buy some whiskey from them Our attention was called to the and take it to the Magistrate and tell fact that the governor was due the him who be bought It from, and we credit for tho extension of the tax limit. If he is due this credit we hartily let him have'.Jt, for we care not who did it so long as it was done. The church people are warrinl among themselves in Philadelphia. One set engaged the services of the whllfwind evangelist. Rev. Illy Sun day. to drive the devil out of thj Quaker City, whil“ the other set en. gaged the services of Chas. W.

It’a not a matter of money that prevents the liquor law from being *>nforced. it’s wit nesses. We have got to have wit nesses to go to Court with, and I would be glad for any citixen to buy whiskey in any part of the County they can, and bring it to me and s*‘*» whether 1 will do my duty or not. the people who want this law en forced must help the officers to get the proof or nothing -vin ‘-ver be done.
