Ansel that he is a "strnd dler" and all that sort of thing are un warranted and unworthy. His position on the living issues of tlu? campaign are as sharply defined as possible. V. 0 object in purl to his platform because it is not broad enough as to local option, not beoause we do not know his atti tude. His dispensary views were an nounccd about a year before the cam paign dpenetl?favoring local option as between county dispensaries, inde pendent, and prohibition; he being per sonally a prohibitionist. This announce ment was far ahead of those of most of the other candidates and it is down in black and white. He has circulated it in posters over his signature all over the State since the campaign opened. Is that dodgin The facts in the case are: in 1890 when most of us were pastisnns, either for or against Tillman, Mr. Ansel was not a ['partisan. He refused to array himself sharply against cither faction. He was not a factionalism But nobody gays that he occupied two positions. We arc free to say that we prefcra parti san at times and wo liked the polities of those who were in the fight with us better than we liked the polities of Mr. Ansel. At the same time, fairness compels us to say that Mr. Ansel showed no sign of weakness. On the contrary it required more inflexible firmness to be a non-partisan in those days than it did to get out and "holler" for ono side or another. Mr. Ansel chose his place then and he stuck to it. T". ire is no doubt about that ?nobody < ou'.d move him to anger against either group of D< mi erata in Smith Carolina. Mr. Ansel is the son of a German im migrant and was a poor boy in Wal halla. He had brains and he worked his way up. Ho became a lawyer and succeeded. He made a capital solicitor. He lacked two voles in the legislature of being eleet* d judge. We lived in Greenville and we never heard a man breathe a syllable against his personal record. He i.; not rich hut he is fairly independent and his word is as good as any man's bond. Ho pays his debts. Ho drinks no whiskey. He is an elder in his Church. Tie was the law partner of such men a ; the late George G. Wells, the late Judge James S. Cothran the late James L. Orr, and no one of those men would have been associated ' with any but a worthy man. If the refusal of Mr. Ansel to get excited about Tillmanism or Anti-T'ill manism was a cvimo, he ought to be de feated, but that is the sum and sub stance of the charges against him. There are other men in the race just as good personally a:-. Ansel but there is no other any less of a straddlcr. You don't see tho State dispensary candi-1 didates going Into th ? Brice Law "dry" counties and saying that they will ask for the repeal of tho Brice law -except 1 perhaps Mr. Blcase. And we djn't be-. Hove that even Mr. Blease will dare go into Marlboro county where they have had prohibition about sixty years and tell those pcopla that if elected lie will: Try to have oh ponsary liquor shops es (ablished in th; f. county. Walch. I COLUMBIA. Senator Tillman was dolightod with; hi; reception in Columbia. He should; not have been '.rprised. The dispensary has brought to Colum bia a liquor store doing an annual busi ne.-jj of over three million dollars. A distillery doing an equal business, perhaps. A glass factory that sells hundreds , cf thousands of dollars worth of bottles j to the dispen Tho stale <:i p n ary enormously j swells tho doposit3 in the Columbia banka. Scorei of state dispensary! clerks and eon stables and laborers rent ( houses from Iho real estate agents, ride j On tho street ears at live cent.-, atrip and trade at tho stores. Tho railroads running into Columbia get thousands in freight from the dispensary, the dis tillery and tho glass factory. Some of tho printing shopa in Columbia got) business and nearly everybody shares I in the ??rako-off," which is porfectly legitimate. If tho state dispensary j were in Laurens, Laurens or ov< n Clin-' ton, tho staunchest prohibition town In tho South, might vote for the state dis- j pensary and cheer its backors. The' employees would out-vote and out-cheer the natives. * AN UNI1ATING NEWSPAPER. Wo trust that our esteemed contem porary, the Hen Id, . ill not insist that TliB ADVERTIBEE "hates" Mr, Please. fw We do not hate hi..,. Wed., not hate i p3hv,>ody. W(! l,ftVG sworn off from |r<%~.i<hn . But wo admit that we would much prefer Mr. Iiichard I. Manning for Governor. If Mr. Manning wore not a state dispensary advocate, we would' flnd It'difficult not to support him. Ho trtwe of the Ik i men in South Caro lina today?every inch a good man.? But W? do not'seo how he can oppose local optici and yet voto for the Brice law. Moreover, wo think if wholly natural and consistent for our contem porary to support Mr. BIcaso, if it does support him; wo raid a. year ago that Tillman and Blcaso were tho proper ticket from a disponsary fitand-point for Senator and Governor. But Senator Tillman, it sccmn, has 'il'-.v tho coop." H#; says thai any man whd opp >?? 1 the n for ning of the dlapoiisarv rtiiould bo "left at homo." Th'o Sonntor ways as plain as words can say without calling the name of Biet) ie that Manning, Sloan or McMahan should he elected Governor?they were "Antis." Senator Tillman says fac tionalism la dead. Ho said so In Co lumbia. Hen Tillman is no "Tillman ! ile." Hen Tillman it? in favor of peace j and unity, just as we were when Shep pard ran for Governor l I years ago. If we dill not this year set principles higher than men, we would pull olV our caps and yell for Manning. Wo fool a little like yelling for Mannin?- anyhow. * TIMES HAVE CHANGED. Tin: AdveutisRH has no objection to Senator Tillman or any olher man hav ing political meetings in 1.aureus. The more the merrier. We favor political meetings in abundance just as we favor circuses and morry-go-rounds in abund ance ami the man who has the time and ! thinks the meeting is worth the time ought to go to it. Hut there are those ! who holi different opinions and their views aio entitled to consideration. In the spring Club Number Two of this town met and unanimously passed the following resolution; "A special committee composed of \V. T. Crews. .J. A. Austin and U. V. Culbcrtson, prepared and offered the following resolutions, which were unan imously adopted after being discussed by Messrs. Holl, Boyd, Irby and others: "Resolved I. That it is the sense of this meeting that it would be unjust to the State candidates in the Held and an I inconvenience to the voters, to attend two campaign meetings Federal and : State as is proposed or suggested by some newspapers and politicians. We 1 believe that one meeting for each Coun | ty is sufficient, and that the Federal and State candidates all speak at the same meeting." Senator Tillman is a candidate for a "Federal" office. It looks much like the wishes of Club Number Two. unanimous wishes at that, had been trampled on "as proposed and sug gested by some newspapers and politi cians." There is too much "govern ment by newspaper" in this country anyhow. For our part, we disagree with Club Number Two and we think it will be no special inconvenience to \hc voters to come and hear Senator Tillman?one of the best speakers in ibis country, lie says that the Yankees sometimes pay a dollar a seat to hear him. Every man that hears him here, in spite of the re solutions, unanimously adopted, of Club Number Two, will be in pocket a dol lar. If a thousand people attend, it will prove that had the program of Club Number Two been carried out, the people would have been out a thousand dollars. However, the Club meant well. The situation has changed. SMALL COUNTIES AND POLITICS. Greenville and Spartanburg are rap idly growing towns. Including their suburbs, each now has a population of 20,oi)o approximately. Greenville per haps has more, - 25,000 in a radius of three miles from the court house. In ten years this number may be* swelled j to 35,000. The carving out of a new county from territory of Greenville. Spartanburg and Laurcns will hasten the time when the towns will ho dominant in political affairs. We do not know that this will do any harm; in Charleston county where the country people are very few, the city gives them more than their share of the offices; but it is just as well to state the facts. The growth of the town.; in the Piedmont has been tremendous in re cent years. If the territory shall \? sliced into small counties, the political power of the city voters as compared] with that of the rural voters will be multiplied. We trust that never again J will demagogues cause ill fooling be tween town and country, for it is ut terly senseless, our interests are all one; but there can be no harm in point ing out the obvious political result: from the making of small counties in the Piedmont, whore the towns are big. The primary plan for nominating congressmen may not be in operation in 1916. Who can tell? In that ease and with growth of the towns of Laur cns, Union, Spartanburg and Greenville continuing at the same rate that it has for tin? last ten years, the city would control affairs possibly in each county. The creation of a rural county, as "Fairview" would be, would make lliis all the easier. If any question such as the division of liquor taxes should come up between the towns and country | population, the latter would be at the mercy of the former. If the rural people do not want to lose political power, they will voto for no small counties in this part of the State. * QUESTIONS TO ANSWRR. Mow many pooplo com?; to Lau renn on account of its being a court house town? How many people out of I.aur eus transact their business hero over the telephone in proportion to thos< who do it in person? is proporty more valuable in I.aureus than in the neigh boring town of Clinton? Clinton has no court house. Which has the best back country? Bring your best judgment to the an swering of these questions before you ask for a new county.

NEEDED A SPANKING. A. good sized boy was hurrying along the street, dragging his two-year-old brother after him. in spite of the loud protests of tho child, when a benevolent looking old gentleman slopped him. "My son," said tho old gentleman, regarding him with kindly eyes, "how old are you?" "Twelve," answered the boy. "You're a stout lad for that age. I should have taken you to he I I. Never been sick much, have you?" "No, sir." "1 thought not. You enjoy your victuals, sleep like a lop, and can play ball all day without getting tired, can't you?" "Yos, sir." "1 was sure of it. I wish I had a boy like you." "What for?" "So 1 could turn him over my knee and spank him. Pick up that baby and carry him, you young savage, or 1 shall be tempted to consider you my boy for all practical purposes right now!"- Exchange. GETTING AT THE TRUTH.

I.yon's Personal Character. Under tho caption, "Tillman Unjust to I.yon" the Abbeville Press and Ban ner, one of the strongest dispensary papers in the stale expresses the gen eral sentiment of tho state in regard to the attack of Senator Tillman on Mr. Frnacr Lyon. Wo reproduce the article beh.w: Mr. Tillman in his spcec-h in Colum bia last Monday was bitterly personal in his reference to Mr. J. Frazcr i.yon. i The arrangement of Pact, and argu ment on the same is fair and legitimate as long as parliamentary usages are! observed and as long*"as the civility' which usually governs gentlemen is present. Tho questions at issue should ,be settled by th< howing of facts and not by the u <> of abusive terms. There is no use for anybody to assail Mr. J Lyon's character before an audience which know a him. Tho Prei i and !:; nncr knows his char acter is ? and nobody behoves that' he would knowingly make a statement] which wa i not in accord with the facts. ! Mr. Tillman is perhaps the greatest man that South Carolina has ever sent to Washington. His hands are clean, and nobody doubts his integrity. The State of South Carolina love.; him and honors him. Mr. I.yon is young man al tho very threshold of a useful and honorable ca reer. The people of l i; native county honored him with a seat in tho House of Representatives. The House of ii( presentativea honored him by placing him on the investigating committee. In the discharge of unpleasant dutie s he has no doubi incurred ill will in some ! in lances, and on the other hand, if he j is not proud of tho words of praise and j commendation that have been given to! him he is more or less than a man. To | be pleased al tho ovidonces of approval j that have cine to him is natural. Such plea aire furnishes no ground on I tho pan of any man to Beck to destroy him by efforts to ruin his reputation. A:i impartial jury would hardly say that the offensive expressions were ci thOr deserving or becoming. Mr. Tillman is a man old enough to be tho father of Mr, i.yon. He occu-1 pi< .; as !;i,rh a position with tho people j was ever hold by any man. As an | old man, as a groat and well known man, as ll.e distinguished Senator at j Washington, if would hardly be a com-1 mendable act lo seek to ruin an honora ble young man. This, too, in the ab sence of tho victim of his wrath, when ho could not defend himself. The dif ferences in their physical powers and their ages would preclude the possi bility of bis resenting it. Surely Mr. Tillman is able to take care of himsolf without taking advan tage of another. In the cause of juatico and fair play we protest against Mr. Tillmnn's un parliamentary attack upon Mr. I.yon. As tho renders <d' iho Press and Ban ner know wo are ;? friend to Senator Tillman, Wo an supporting him and defending the dispensary against all comers and ngninsl all attacks. Mr. Lyon is our neighbor, and if Ills view:-; "?ii tho dispensary coincided with tho views of tills editor wo would vote for him against the world. Ho proposes to ii.i rfero with tho state dispensary, for this reason aloho we are not sup porting him. But In all conscience, we must protest at the cruel and unbecom ing attack which Mr. Tillman has made upon him. Mr. Lyon doc.; not deserve' the treatment which has been nCCQI'dod 'o him by Mr. Tillman. And Mr. Till man In his better momenta will admit! his errors.
