Mr. William Hfl Taft took a 40- mlle drive over the mountains from Hot Springs to the ‘‘Old White” and at night led the german at the hotel. The Texas Railroad Commission filed suit before the inter-State Com merce Commission to prevent in crease of freight rates. From two boy companions of Tuffa Sashem, the Syrian boy whose dis membered body was found in Chica go, it was learned that he entered the house of the Turk under arrest Sunday and was not seen alive again. Commander Charles A. Gove is ex pected to succeed Commander Wil liam S. Benson as commander of ca dets at the Naval Academy. Terrified by a dream Miss Beulah G.

These people, while they honest-1 bats at Corinth today. ones added. ly believe the dispensary system to be the best solution of the liquor quea- tion at the same time are broad mind ed enough to recognize the fact that Ansel, In his one term, has made the best governor which the State of South Carolina has enjoyed since the war, and that it is their duty as good citizens of the State to support him for a second term. With this element supporting Mr. Ansel, where is the vote of Mr. Blease coming from? Mr. Blease charges the Ansel administra tion with extravagance, when he as a member of the senate participated in the legislation which is responsible for this extravagance, if extrava gance there was. Mr. Ansel, as gov ernor of the State, Is the executive of ficer thereof and has nothing to do with appropriations except to see that the laws enacted by the general as sembly are carried out. Therefore, Mr. Blease as a member of the law making body, had far more to do with this extravagance than Governor An sel, and his position on this question Is enough to brand him as a most ar rant demagogue, and shows that he is utterly unfit to fill the exalted posi tion of governor of the great State of South Carolina. Again, hia criticism of Governor Ansel for having appoint ed a negro to the office of notary pub lic of Greenville county is most ill advised and ridiculous, when we con sider that every governor who has held office for the past twenty years, has done the same thing, not exclud ing Governor Tillman, who let no op portunity pass to show his antipathy to the office-holding negro. What are the functions of a notary anyway? His only power Is to administer oaths, and they are appointed merely as a I matter of convenience to the com munity in which they reside, and a negro notary in a community where. there are numbers of negroes, is an accommodation to them, and to the white officers who do not wish to be troubled by them. A review of Mr. | Blease’s record will convince any reasonable individual that he la not fit to be governor of the State, and as Cherokee county has always been on the right side we cannot believe that the people will at this time, after having voted out the dispensary by a vote of more than five to one, endorse a man who not only aotorlously fa vors this nefarious Institution but who as a member of the investigating commttee did his utmost to block ths Investigation of the rottenness which prevMied therein.
