Do You Know How This
Tea Came to Be?
?J First a price was fixed, below which no
really GOOD tea can be sold.
CJ Next, all teas selling at this price were cupped and
tested for quality.
<] Finally, a blend was perfected, at least 25 per cent better than
the best of these tested teas, and the result was called
Votan Tea
to match the superb coflee by that name.
f| It la now offered to you with every assurance that it is, In
de od, a really fine tea at quite a moderate price and you can get it
as wall as VOTAN COFFEE or only one dealer in this town; via.

HUMAN WOULDN'T SAY IT
HE COULDN'T SAY IT
There Is cold comfort for Governor
Blease and hi? friends in the state
ment from Senator TUlman published
yesterday, cold comfort Indeed. Mr.
Tlllman's opinion of Judge Jones Is a
matter of record. "I believe he would
make a good governor," he BP.id, "for
he Is eminently qualified." Ho gives
his belief and the basis for it. Will he
say as much for Governor Blease? He
will not. Urged to do so by the gov
ernor's friends, "bombarded" by thern
"with telegrams and letters," to quote
hlB own words, what Is his response?
A column statement in which he point
edly omits to say one word in the
slightest degree commendatory of Gov
ernor Bleuse and his administration,
but Instead expresses his deep mortifi
cation for South Carolina that "instead
of our candidates discussing great pub
lic questions and teaching the people,
the meetings have been little else than
vulgar quarrelling matches, In which
blackguardism, vulgarity, obscenity
and abuse, almost without limit, and
all manner of filthy speeches have
been allowed to predominate." The
description of the tenor of the cam
paign meetings is a true one, vigorous
ly put, yet not overdrawn. But who Is
responsible? Not Judge Jones, certain
ly. Has Judge Jones at any time been
guilty of vulgarity? Has he ever been
obscene? Has he uttered one Illthy sen
tence, to say nothing of a filthy
[speech? Senator Tlllman knows that
he has not. What says the Senator?
"He would make a good governor, for
he Is eminently qualified." Will Sen
ator Tlllman say that about Governor
Blease after Blease's record of the I
last two years and after his speeches j
and writings during the present cam
paign? No. He has not done so. Ho
cannot do so. It Is not true.?News &
Courier.
SUSPENDED OLD SOLDI Kit.
Inmate of 01<1 Soldiers Home Wins
Enmity of Chairman of Hoard, Ap
pointee of Qot. lllense.
Columbia, S. C, Aug. 8?Samuel F.
Massey, who, a short time ago sent a
commulcatlon to The State referring to
an incident <U the Confederate Home in
which he stated that H W. Richardson
had forbidden the use of his name in
tho columns of a newspaper, has been
suspended for 30 days. The charges
preferred ft?aln?t Mr. Massey are in
subordination, liMOCh o?' I'll is, drunk
enness and insulting a member of
the board of ccinmV Alone rc. Mr.
Massey suvB mat Ue wtfs no: cited to
appear before any men.her of the
board ami t.iat only two members of
the board were p.ie.-eni, Mr. Richard
son and Dr. F. W. P. Butler.
He received the following communi
cation :
"Columbia, S. C, August 7, 1912.
"J. P. Caldwell, Superintendent Con
federate Infirmary.
"Sir: You are hereby ordered to
suspend Samuel F. Massey, an inmate
of the Confederate Infirmary for 30
days, Charges: insubordination, breach
of rules, drunkenness and insulting a
member of the hoard of commission
ers.
"Signed H. W. Richardson,
Chairman and Treasurer."
"Soldier's Home, August 7, 1012.
"To Samuel F. Massey. In obe
dience to the above order you are
hereby suspended from the Confed
erate Iafirmnry for the space of 30
days.
'Signed J. P. Caldwell,
Commandant."
When the Trouble lb-nan.
The trouble ending in the suspension
of Massey bad its beginning when
Major Richardson, chairman of the
board of commissioners and a salaried
officer, appointee of Gov. Blease, told
Edward J. ..'ones, a Confederate vet
eran, but not an Inmate of the Sol
diers' home, that he could not hold
his job as hospital steward at the
home, if he did not bestir himself
in behalf of Rlease. Massey heard
of the threat, and understood that it
applied to all employes whether in
mates of the home or not, and so re
ported it. Later, Maj. Richardson,
in a talk at the home, denied that he
referred to all employes.
Mr. Massey was not then allowed
a hearing, and made a statement In
the newspapers. He did not regard
Maj. Richardson's admonition not to
use his name, and his suspension is the
final result.
Massey's Record as Veteran.

A. Second battalion, cavalry, under

Sam. J. Nichols.
(From Spartanburg Herald.)
(Parody on "Casey Jones.")
Come all you fellows that want to
laugh,
For here Is a story by a dlstograph.
Same J. Nicholls was a lawyer's name,
In the Finch Hotel he won his fame
Mr, Porter called Nicholls up over
the phone,
Said, "Come to the Finch, and to
my room;
I want a pardon for that Johnson
man,
Who cracked a safe and was put In
the Penn."
Oh, Sam J. Nichols mounted up the
stairway,
Sam J. Nicholls, a petition in his
hand;
Oh, Sam J. Nichols mounted up the
stairway,
Thirty thousand dollars was his de
mand.
Then he took a drink, tho't he'd have
? some fun.
Rut tho old dictagraph began to
run;
Mr. S. N. Porter began to kick at the
price.
Rut Mr. Nicholls thought it very
nice.
Oh, Mr. Porter you need not stare,
For Blease and Sims must have
their share;
We are all together, and In the same
boat,
But I'm the man that's making it
float.
Oh, Sam J. Nicholls tho't he was a
schemlng,
Sam J. Nicholls, Porter's friend in
deed ;
Sam J. Nicholls was only dreaming,
He was talking to Detective E. S.
Reed.
Said Porter to Nicholls, "That's en
tirely too much.
Thirty thousand dollars, I'll do no
such;
Altho said party to a fortune is an
heir,
I'm not as ? *y as that to scare."
Said Nicholls porter, "Just give me
a chance,
For I'm the man that makes Blease
dance.
Mr. Sims ten thousand, and Blease
the same,
Now can't you see I'm playing a
great game?"
Oh, Sam J. Nicholls said Blease
would be elected,
Sam J. Nicholls, for the next two
years;
Oh. Sam J. Nicholls, said Blease'd go
to the senate.
And that he'd be governor, he had
no fear.
At last he came down to fifteen thou
sand bones,
Said this would help Mr. Blease de
feat Jones.
And on this price they finally agreed,
Mr. Nicholls not knowing that Por
ter was Reed.
He nearly got the pardon thru' all
o. k?
But soon found out that to his dis
may,
Mr. Porter was not the man he had
thought.
Then he said to himself, "Well, I'm
caught;"
Oh, Sam J. Nicholls, went to Colum
bia,
Sam J. Nicholls, on the witness
stand:
Oh, Sam J. Nicholls made this grave
statement:
"I was drunk on liquor of a nlco
Scotch brand."
Mr. T. B. Felder, an Atlanta attorney
Was the man that gave Reed the
pardon money;
For he knew Blease and Nicholls
could not laugh
When they heard -this story thru' the
dictagraph.
Now Mr. Nicholls, as he's In a hole,
fJo?s around speaking for his old
friend Cole;
Wnen be comes to our town with his
walls and moans
He'll And most of us here for Ira
B. Jones.
Oh, Sam J. Nicholls keeps running
around.
Bam J. Nicholls, of Ms time takeB
half;
Oh. Sam J. Nicholls has run aground,
For he has been recorded by thp
dictagraph.
