"The Abundance of The Heart."
Men are usually judged by
their fellows here by the things
they do and say. Indeed this
Is the only way one can form
an estimate of another. The
things that issue from the mouth
are naturally supposed to pro
ceed from the heart, and like a
sign board, point to the good or
bad in the heart. If this prom
ise is correct then what, we ask
in all seriousness, can be the esti
mate of thoughtful, intelligent
men of the commonwealth of
South Carolina and her chief
executive, judged by the words
and conduct of the latter.
The following is a brief ac
count of a speech delivered by
Gov. Blease last Friday:
Dillon, June 14. Gov. Blease
spoke at Pages Mill yesterday
morning and at Dillon in the
afternoon. He had a large
audience in Dillon.
He said that there was but
one governor of South Carolina
and that he was "that one."
He supposed that he had par
doned more people since his elec
tion to the governorship than had
been pardoned by any one gov
ernor in a number of years,
and that he expected to con
tinue this policy as he would at
least be governor for five months
after the election. He justified
his pardoning record on the
ground that petitions were sign
ed from the communities of
those whom he pardoned, and in
many cases they were signed by
the 'urymen that convicted and
by the solicitor and by attorneys
and judges.
He said that he had no answer
to charges that had been made
against him and that he would
make none-that he would wait
until they were face to face.as
a man that would make charges
against another Iihis back was
te and that such a
coard.
He said that he had beaten
the supreme court to a frazzle
and that he was going to beat a
a one-time member of that
court again when election time
comes. .
He stated that he was not
popular with the newspapers be
cause he did not permit them to
dictate his policies and that
when they had published false
hoods against him and they
were later disproved, the news
papers refused to publish cor
rections.
As to lynching he endorsed
what has been published about
him, saving that when a negro
laid his hands on a white wom
an the sooner he was put six
feet under the ground the better
and that he had aot spent the
people's money in'sending State
militia to shoot down the good
white people of South Carolina
to protect such a brute and that
he was not going to do it.
His friends, he stated, were
the people that he was going to
stick to and that any one
present might be assured if they
voted against him they could
count on him for nothing. He
especially liked his friends, say
ing that if they went to heaven
--anted~to be with them, and
If they went to hell he wanted
to be there-"let me be with my
friends."
He spoke at Latta last night.
We ask our readers to read
carefully every word and reason
out what manner of governor
we have. He boasts of the fact
that "he had pardoned more
people since his election to the
governorship than had been
pardoned by any one governor
in a number of years," and will
continue to do so. We ask why
have courts, judges and juries
run the counties to so much ex
pense?
The contempt he shows for
the supreme court is very evi
dent when he said he had them
beaten to a frazzle and shows
that he wants to exercise the
powers of the "one governor"
but would usurp the functions
of this department of govern
ment as well. They are pup
pets unless subservient to his
will. And to cap the climax he
publicly serves notice that he is
the governor of those only who
vote for him, as he assured
those that voted against him
"could count on him for noth
ing-" and if his friends make
their bed ii hell 'he wanted to
be with them.'

Time for Side
Dressing
This is the time to side-dress your cotton. Ginners will
ell you thi.t thirteen hundred pounds of see~.d cotton that has
een side-dressed will turn off as heavy a bale of cotton as
fteen hundred pounds of seed cotton that has not been side
ressed. Two hundred pounds of 4-[o-2 applied to an acre
f cotton as a side-dresser wilt increase the yield at least three
undred pounds of seed cotton to the acre. This three hun
fred pounds of seed cotton, 'the way you farmers have im
roved your cotton, will turu off about one hundred and
wenty-five pounds of lint at twelve cents a pound will bring
ou $1 5.00-at ten cents a pound, it will bring you $i 2.50
nd the two hundred pounds of 4-1o-2 will cost you $4.20,
nd two hundred pounds of 4-7-2 will cost $3.40. The dif
rence in these figures represents the extra profits which you
iill make on an acre of cotton by side dressing. Besides the
atisfaction of having a fine cotton crop, it helps a man's feel
gs, and helps his standing in the community, and helps his

Bumble bee cotton.",
The fertilizer you use in side-dressing pays you better
an any fertilizer you.use. It prevents the cotton'sshedding,
he reason cotton sheds is because it has not sufficent plant
od. There is only a smnai! fraction of an ounce of plant food
~ets to each cotton plant when you fertilize in the Spring, and
f this the rains wash away some, the grass gets some, and
ere is a verry little left tor the cotton plant.
Now, when your cotton plant begins to fruit, there is an
dded strain on the plant, and just at the tinie the strain is
~reatest on cotton plant tile supply of the plant has diminished
nd is growing Jess. The result is the cotton sheds its fruit
~eople who do not side--dress their cotton lose from one
urth to one-third of their crop every year by shedding.
The farmers of Anderson county side-dressed more last
ear than they ever did. You do not put enough corn and
dder in your stalls for your mules on Monday morning to
ast until Saturday night, and you would not think of putting
~nogh corn and fodder in your stall fot your mules in April
> last until November, but yet that is what you are doing
i.ith cotton. You are trying to give it enough plant food in
~pril to last until November. This plan will work in making
tton, after a fashion, but you will not get the crops and you
ill not get the clear money that you will get if you side-dress.
you put your stock under a heavy strain, you increase their
~ed. Now, when your cotton is under an increased strain by
ason of its fruiting it will pay you handsomely to give it ad
itional plant food.
Do not confuse ths side-dresser of ours with ether side
essinig fertilizer wh'ere the ammonia is derived solely from
itrate of soda. Thi~is side-dresser of ours has soda to act
uickly and blood, tankaige, cotton seed meal and fish to carry
ri the work which the soda commences, and is infinitely better,
r the crop.
Apply as early as you possibly can.
