SUPPLEMENT TO THE PICKENS SENTINEL, PICKENS, S. C.-THURSDAY, NOVEMBlIC.23, 1916 Froam Jel I. Miller Editor The 'Sentiniel: 1- iotice. that Mr. -C. T. Mattin of the Easley, Pro tress has copied a communication that I wrote foe The Sentitel and. comment ed 'on sarie. Thinking likely - that I might worry Bfo. Martli, as I hd. al ready been writing some In his piper, Is why Ididnt serid him copy of- ame. But as he his colied my communication. I see I was mistaken. I am glad Bro. Martin put this comiunication and his comment before his rekders. 3ro. Martin says ,'Miller Kicks Out - Again." This heading ofBro. Mgrtin's will cause the readers of The Sentinel to want to know when the writer first kicked out, . have a communication. - ready in reply to the communication that charged- the writer' with the first kicking out. I would like for Sentinel reade; a to see my reply to Bro. Martin for the first time the writer kicked out. It seemns that Bro. Maritin had doubts as to my loyalty to the Demodratic par ty befdre he saw the communication he cophd from The Sentinel. - "This article dispels all-doubt now," Bro. Martin says. "We do not however blame him, for it we had the same opinion of the organization of the -Democratic paity of the state as he professes to have we would kick out too " Now, Bro. Martin looked over the top of his glasses a little. They say if you will r ut- a pair of green glasses on a hungry horse and throw him some. shiavings the glasses will make the shavings look green and-the horse will eat them. That is the condition Bro. Martin is in. He looks through these green spectacles at the actions of the tate Demcc.atic Executive committee and calls that Democracy. --Now that - raises an issue between Bro. Martin and mys..f as to what Democracy is. I will make an'illustration so the readers of The Sentinel can see for tnemselves. Su pppose one of the readers of The Sentinel takes a notion to run for the highest office of this state, which 'is governor. You will fill all the require ments, paying your assessment, signing -the pIedge, etc. Now you first have confidence in a fair, square deal. Now we will suppose your competitor's name Is Jones. Suppose Mr. Jones is judge of some high court and resigns his of fice to run against you for governor. Suppose the newspapers are nearly all against you or in favor of Mr. Jones rather than you. Suppose Mr. Jones' friends commence to'circulate all kinds of rumors against you and some of them go over into Georgia and call some Georgia people into counsel with them, planning something to beat you with; arrange with the great Detective BurnsI then in Georgia, to get some of 1is agents- tQ come to South Carolina to find something you. hal done or said; bring a dictagraph and have it secreted In a room where some of your friends stayed in order to get their conversa tion which might injure you in yor race for governor. Suppose Jones friends had a good many places in the state where the Jones supporters or any one that would support Jones couldget any thing he wanted to drink. Suppose Jones himself made oath that he paid - out nearly his salary to beat you, and after all of the above mentioned trouble and expense you beat him for'goverrior. Then the election comes up before the State Democratic Executive committee and this committee finds that you have a majority of the votes. 'Then there comes some sworn statements of fraud and the committee hears them and com mences to iivestigate same. " You your self are perfectly willing for *the Inves tigation to, proceed, saying yoji don't want the nomination if there Is fraud. After the committe had investigated about seven counties they find over 400 - votes that Jones had cheated you out of. They then disbqnd and give you the nomination. Now, then, you thke the flotion after four years to make the race for gover nor again, -You have seen what the State Democratic Executive 'committee did four years ago. Thinking It was an impartial committee and seeing what it had done in the past you comply with all of the requirements as you did in the first race.' Having'nearly all of the . . inewspapers against you again all of the cotton mill officials, all the bankers and railroad officials, the best- fariners, nearly all of the preachers and most of the meichants against you, in the wihd up you find' yolself a few thousand votes short of -being elected. Then the returns come before the State Demo cratic Executive committee which meets to-declare the election. Suppose there is submitted . before the committee twelve or fifteen hundred sworn com plaints of fraud, intimidation, coercion, threats of all kinds and - different bills of money pinned-to many of these sworn complaints with the statement that this money was paid someone to vote against you. Now notice that this Democratic committee was contrary to your politics in both races you made for governor. In the -first race you made complaints of fraud were in order. In the second race you made complaints were out of order. You see the committee acted different. Now which time did this committee act Democratic? There is a big differ ence. Tho acting very differently at different times Bro. Martin says this kind of dealin is the Democratic party. Miller denies e action of thislastcom mittee being Democratic. Now, Mr. Reader, what do you say? If you have on green glasses take them off and you will see it is shavings instead of fodder. Bro. Martin has subsisted on shavings for fodder so long he can't kick out. JOEL H. MILLER. CLERK' -SALEI State of South Carolina, County of Pickens. In Court of Common Pleas.
