YEAR Established 1871-olume 3 PICKENS, S. C., DECEMBER 4, 1913 .00 4T -CAROl ICAL TAI The Columbia correspondei of the Charlotte (N. :) Observ writes as follows, --concernin politics inouth Carolina: It is thought by many obseri era of things., political in .th State that there in going to be sharp drawing of the line nox summer on the question c Bleaselsm. The term as unde: stood In politics means simpl advocacy of the present admir istratlon, and n hIle miany ow #ploy it to give a reproachft tinge to a. characterization ( Governor Blease and his moth ods, this Is not -the acepted pt itical definition. Thero are wisn ones who sa t Governor Bloase ihin)se] eolped to mnake an ise o iskrn. in the approachin cat gn In two ways: first h hIs attj k on the candidacy c Ricar<.W <auning' of Sumrtet who is runnii for Governoi and second, by hi staterneri that as between a Bloase tmat and an armti Blensenifll in th second race, or as hetwe-n tw men, one very unfavorablo t the administration Und one ne ther against nor for the admit istration niow, he would suipm the Blease or nentral candidat May- Be Even Warmer. $4 Somne folks are saying tha the campaign next summer i not going to be as warm a,9 th one last year, but if the issue o Elleaseism is made this time, I is going to be warmer. Govet nor Bleaso has also announce( that he 'Would take no hand ii the first primary in the gubei natorial race unless some candi da'e is attacked by reason o that candidate's friendlineos t( Governor Bloase. So much fo the Governor's attitude and hi part in this issue. It is only fair to Governo Blease to say that, unless hi acts made the issue, he himsol was not responsible for the mak 4 ing of the issae of Bleaseisn last campaign when thing waxed so hot in this State. Th recollection of the writer is tCha a remark dropped by a corres pondent in one of the newspa pers was the first intimatioi that there existed such a Ihin as Bleaseism. As the Governor'. t erm in office advanced, the idef was further taken up until dnr ing the heated campaign of 1912 tMat term was a by-word in th( political vocabulary, . "Blease' and "Anti-Blease,"and "Blease ism" and terms used thousand of times in the recent politica Shistory in this State. * - Of Course He'll Run. Despite stories to the contrary no one here entertains any seri eus doubt but that Governo Blease will run for the Senat in .the next campaign. 'Th Orangeburg Times and Demc crat and other papers have sug * ested that this rumor wa started1 in Columbia ab~out th GOvernor running a third tim for Governor and not makin1 .the r'ace for the Senate, bu those in touch here do not thin] this was the case, for a forme similar rumor was nlailed by th * Governor at etimd it appeare a few moni ago. 'jonitest Narrows. the withdrawval of AE ~ bu ry.? Lever from the senatc e ~ilrace, it has been taken fa granted that the contest wi * narrow dlown to E 1). Smit] and Cole L. Blease. Rtecently~ howvever', there have been ru ynors of the entrance of a thir candidate into the field. Thos * .who have been urging this cor tend that there is a chan'de fort "dark horse"' in the event on or the other'of the candidata ishould spring some surprise o 4rthe other that wvould materiall weaken him, as for instance, a (Governor Blease did last summe~ - when he dug uip that "soparat poc"matter on Judge Jonel ?The anticipation -of he d'ras fing of lines next surn. er on th candidates or Governor has' a iady caused considerable til: selo1n.

How Simms Is Regarded. r- The candidate that is general Is ly looked upon as the-so-called a Blease candidate Is Charles Car :t roll Simms of Barnwell. Mr. if Simms came out for Goyernor 7- on the wave that followed the y Blease forces' conference here i- fair week. He announced that t- evening that -he would make ii the fight and heendorsed Gov f or nor Blease in unmistakable L- language. He is known to be a P close political and person'al friend of the Governor -And undoubt y edly wvill draw the bulk of the f Blease vote, notwithstanding ,f Governor Blease's intention not r to take any part himself in the V -first primary for Governor. f Mr. Simms has not had much , to say in the public prints since ; the announcement of his candi t dacy. He said recently that he ri is sitting steady in the boat. o How South Carolina's cam r) paign next summer is being re r) garded throughout the country - Is indicated by interest that is taken in papers from one.end -of t America to the other. Already much comment 'has aOpeared about the senatorial rice espec ially. t Out for Governor. s Those in the race for Governor - at this time are: Charles A. f Smith. Florence County; Rich t ard I. Manning, Sumter; John G-. Richards, Kershaw; John G. Clinkscales, Spartanburg; Men I dei L, Smith, Kershaw; R. A. - Cooper, Laurens; Charles Car - roll Simms, Barnwell; John T. Duncan, Richland; and Lowndes J. Browning, Union. 1 A well-known observer ex 3 pressed the opinion.that six men would finally enter the contest r when the time draws near and. i some people think there will be less than .tht. The., chances are'thli at least five, if not-six, I candidates will be. in the. run ' Another thing that is going to mako the lines iore strenuously - drawn in the opinion of some ople is fho fact that several ongssnien are being opposed for re-election and that in 'At least two counties Blease men will make the fight against - them. Acording to a story in Sun day's Columbia Record, State - Senator Joha-L..McLaurin will Sul) for ei bhr . pyeror or Defense ,4, Ij pardpin~ ret sr, tl~l standing by friends,-an a tuLk on the United States senl ators for failure to agree on fed eral patronage, and expression of-confidence in his ability to -beat Senator E.

While that quilt has the rec -ord beat in the number of pieces, I wish to say that my wife has a quilt which was pieced in the year: 1859 and was quilted in the year 1861. It is as good as new now and as clean as it was the day if was pieced and it never has been washed. It was pieced by m y wife's grand mother, Miss Nancy Ann Capps, then of the State of Tennessee, and quilted by the same lady, Mrs. Nancy Ann Morgan, after she married in Transylvania county, N. C. The quilt is 54 years Old and the name of it is the "Lone Star." The star has 8 prongs, each prong contains 1.32 pieces, making 1,056 pieces in the whole star, saying. nothing 'about. the pLoces it took to put it together.
