EnN*ied at Pichens Festofflee as Second Cla au Matter A vote for Jones is a vote for odgovernment. Le*,us have an honest election and a fair count. Every mair entitled to vote should vote an hiWs vote honest ly counted. From every section of the State comes the news of chanz es from Blease to Jones. There will be a landslide to Jones on the 27th. Senator Tillman said that Gov. Blease has "muddied the water." Does he mean that the filth of politics has been stirred up by him? With Woodrow Wilson as presideni and Ira B. Jones as governor, the Democrats of this State would be on. shouting ground next 3 ear. Citizen Josh Ashley, of An derson county, one of Governor Blease's warmest supporters, in 1896, while a member of the leg islature, voted against ihe sepa rate coach bill, but. strange to say, the governor has not charg ed Josh with favoring social equality. A Chaengeto Tiliman Tillman's endorse ment. I have proven during the past 19 months that I am as well qualified to be governor Eas Ben Tillmian or any body else, Gov. Blease at L ~irens. And yet if Senator Tillman were come out against him he womildn't have a look in. How Will Tiliman Vote? We would be willing to wag -r a ginger cake against a last summer's straw hat that Sena tor Tillman will vote for Jones. He has said Jones is eminently qualified for governor, ;but not one word has he uttered in Gov. Blease's favor. 6 All for Blease Men Speaking to a crowd in the baseball park at Gaffney on the nigh,t of August 7th, Governor Blease is reported in the press dispatches as saying: "In considering friend or foe so far as justice went, it made no difference with him, he would disp justice to either, but ~n itce to filling appoint ~1t, he would give them all to Blease men and would not ap point a Jones man to nothing if he knew it."1 This is what many have said he would do if elected again appoint no one to any office ex cept those who vote for him.We take this to mean that should a man be nominated in the pri mary on the 27th who is oppos ed to him, he will disregard the vote of the people and appoint some one else. The offices of - treasurer, auditoi and magis trate are left entirely with the Sgovernor as to whom he will ap point, and if any one now a candidate for one of these offices should be nominated in the pri mary, Gov. Blease will disre Sgard the nomination Watch and see. The Cotton Mill Project This is being quietly agitated. ( Nothing definite has taken place i but we look for active steps to I -be taken as soon as the election I is over. The one man in Pick- I ens upon whom all eyes are cen- 1 tered seems just a little reluc-t tant to lead off. This is the on- I ly reason why things are not t now on the move.a He may be t "going slow" for apurpose, for ~ many times it is best. He is a E very cautious and prudent man, s but nevertheless, when he de- t cides that the thing is needed t and the people are with him, he b2 will go forward. We beg to as- n sure him that it is the concen- a sus of opinion that the enter- ~ prise is needed, and after talking c with a number of people, he is nl the one to lead and the people| a will stand by him to a man. If U the halt is on account of .either, ti ie need of an enterprise like is, or because there is doubt s to the man to lead it or i rhether the town will stand up > him, let the procession move orward, for the people are one n these questions and they are >oking to one man just now to ead off. Why halt ye between two )pinions? Lead off, Captain. Will Make Them Sweat Blood. The fo'lowing is from the :ampaign speech delivered )v lov. Blease at Camden: "Suppose they ar" lucky enough to beat me. I will have all of September, October, "No vember and December, part of January, and if you ever saw men sweat, I'll make that gang sweat blood before I get through with them." This shows to what lengths he will go to brow beat and in timidate and force people to vote for him. Surely the brave and free South Carolinians, the liberty lo ing people of this grand old commonwealth, will not be coerced by any sucb threat. It sounds like the talk of a tyrant. To such as will not bow down and worship thE king, they shall be cast into the fi: rv furnace and for a littl more than three months will b' made to sweat blood. We thank God that our fathers fought to free us from such op pression, that with their blood they paid for liberty- that with their lives they kicked off the despolt and men no longer cower and scringe in the presence of would be czars. Such utterances as these only shqw the spirit and purposes of the men who make them. They reveal his true character and prove one's unfitness for any position. They should be rebuked severely. The best re ply that can be made to a state ment like this are the words of the wisest man who ever lived "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth2 rule, the people mourn.' Gov Blease by his words above quot d would fulfill the words of Solomon and would do more than make them luinenit and mourn, but would make them "sweat blood." Address by N. B. Dial, Candidate for the United States Senate 'o the IDemocratic Vo s of South Carolina: I am glad to state th at I have onducted nmy campaign for the nited States senate upon a high plane, without prejudice r saying anything unkind of myone. I was born and reared on the ~arm and have been interested .n agriculture all my life. I feel ~indly toward all mankind and iave a peculiar interest in our ien and the laboring classes. [have spent over a quarter of a ~entury in building various in lustrial plants and have given ~mployment to hundreds of peo )le. Besides. I organized and )uilt the second( warehouse in he State for storing cotton and iave aided the farmers and oth rs for a number of years in narketing their crops and have elped a great number of people o secure homes by securing for en money on long time and nstallment pay ments. I desire to be eleted to the enate to advertise o.ur State in broader way, thereby letting he outside world1 know the ad antages we possess and endea 'or to have laws passed to help he South. My text is "Econo y and Progress" -economy in 11 branches of government so hat the burdens of life will be ?ssened, and living made cheap r: progress, in order that we ilay develop the South. My atform is that of the Demo ratic party- and of Emy life. I Lesire to see the principles of the 'rogressive De&mocratic party ut into execution. The main ints are tariff for reene on , reduction in Yankee pensions wer express and postage rates, he abolishment of useless arnmv osts, making trade and peace reaties with all foreign nations herby extending a' 1r cornnnerce ,nd lessening the necessitt for xpensive batt leship s Wet de re to use the Panama c'anal to enefit. prinmrily, the trade in e United States. We wvant to uild up our harbors. open our avigable streams andi encour ge the draining of our low land Ve desir e to encourage ner hant marine, extend experi ten tal stations, free rural routes d have the national govern -f tent aid good road building- - reb increasing the facilities for rural schools, etc. I advocate the reform of our banking laws; the issuance of government receipts for non perishable products of the soil stored in bonded warehouses: abolisment of trusts and monop olies in restraint of trade and equal laws for the protection of all. I have not criticised or said anything unkind about either of my opponents. However, they are both old men, and Edgefield County has held the Senatorship for thirty years. Senator Tillman has been an exceedingly able man, and has attracted a great deal of at tention. He has had all the honor we can possibly bestow upon a Southern man, having been in office twenty-two years. Therefore, I think he is making a mistake to ask the people to re-elect him to a six-year term. I am not asking him to resign, or running against his term of office, but am asking the people to elect me to succeed him. He says his health is too feeble to allow him to make any speeches; he has not been to a single meeting. If he is too feeble to make some speeches, his health must be too weak to discharge the duties of the office. In the nature of things there cannot be a substitute in a legislative body. If the Senator is ill, his seat is vacant. You can ap point an agent in nearly any other business in the world. It would not do to say that he can pair; we do not send men to the Senate to pair. Besides, this is only a temporary device. We expect to elect a Democratic President, in which event the work devolving upon the Sena tors will be very great, such as having appointed new post masters, revenue officers, con suls, etc. Besides, we want constructive legislation It is more important to have two Senators now than it has been since 1860. No doubt, Senator Tillmian has great influence with the departments, but the heads of these departments will be changed if Wilson is elected, and younger men appointed. The Senator taught us for twenty-odd years that a man should be strong, otherwise he should not ask for public office. Suppose the best man you can think of, whose health is in the condition of Senator Tillman's, desired election to any office. how many votes do you sup pose he would receive? I do not claim to be the best man in the State for this office, but have made a success in a modest way, and I do know the requirements of all of our peo ple. I believe and know that I can be of service to them, and would appreciate your suffrage and influence. LEARN TELEGRAPHY and earn $50. to 8150. per month. Thousands of operatoi s needed.
