FRIDAY, Oct. 30. 1908. Son-in-law Longworth, the ac linistration cut-up, appears to b nging low nowadays. Truth crushed to earth may ris gain, but it has a tough time dt ng political campaigns. Weill we know that we lack i /hole lot of being perfect in Soutl '.arolina but we will take advice i: sgards to honesty from somebod se besides Jno. G. Capers if yo lease! We want to urge the voters to g > the polls on Tuesday and cas leir ballots for principle. This i 3t only a duty but a privilege.
