THE POLITICAL POT
BEGINS TO BOIL.
SOME PROBABLE CANDIDATES (OR GOVERNOR-PLENTY
OF TIME BEFORE
THE NEAT PRIMARY.
Columbia, July 4: ? Iti less than a
v jfhir's time there will be another
campaign in South Carolina for
State office?. It is likely to be a spirited
campaign and a tight all along
the line?that is, for other offices
than that of Governor.
The first of the formal announcements
of the campaign has been
.1f T Ulooeo Koa iin. i
jxiaue; a>u vuivuiuu aj xntnov. .... ,
nounced that he will again make the
race for Governor. Mr Blease has a
way of getting in early aud fighting
to the finish whether he wins or not.
Some folks have suggested that he
_ has made a race or two to defeat
pothers. There is 110 wav for motives
to be interpreted.
S Who is going to ru:i for Governor?
Over in Georgia they groom candidates
and nominate them a year or
two before they go into ottice.
There are some fulks whothiuk
fl>n A ii.riipf nrimiirio; nn fhf
mat, tiiu axu^ucv I'tiuiMiiw v.. ....
liquor question will materially affect'
the situation before the candidates j
for Governor are announced. As a
matter of fiict, tiie State is now prohibition
from a numerical standpoint;
that is, so far as the voters in
the State primary are concerned. f
Anderson, Greenville, Spartan- !
burg, Union, Oconee, Pickens, York
and Greenwood are now prohibition
and these counties alone, not toeven
count th3 other prohibition counties,
contain a majority of the white voters
of the State. The counties that
are aud have been prohibition for
several years now have and have had
the majorities for a long time, and
whether any of the counties go for
prohibition in the August primary
will not materially affect the situation.
It may give a reason for a prohibition
ticket; although that same
reason has existed some time. Governor
Ansel is to-dav doing us much j
to enforce prohibition in the State as<
could a Governor elected as a siinon J
kpure prohibitionist. It takes local
sentiment more than aU else to enforce
this particular law.
But about tlie candidates. Mr
Blease is going to run. The symp^
toms are that Mr Richard I Manning
of Sumter will be in the race.
The probabilities are that Attorney
General J Fraser Lyon will be a
candidate. The friends of Lieutenant
Governor Thomas G McLeod of
Bishopville are urging him to run.
These four are more or less certain
candidates. If the prohibitionists
have a candidate it may be MrC C
Featherstone of Laurens or it may
be Mr M L Smith of Camden. Then
thprp is talk of ('ant John G Rich
ards runLing for the place as a farmer,and
some business men think they
would like to see Mayor K Goodwyn
JRhett of Charleston enter politics
through the Governor's office.
And then there is always the likelihood
of one or two unannounced
and unexpected candidates,
f There really ought to be a candidate
on the platform of a just and
fair tax revision. He may not win
the first shot out out of the box, but
that is as certain to be a winning issue
as any that has ever won in this
State.?Xt'trs il; Courier.
'" BANKS THAT ADVERTISE
Show Greater Increase in Profits and
Deposits Than Non-Advertisers.
The banks in this city that advertise
in newspapers show an increase
in assets of 38 per cent and an
increase in deposits of 85 per cent in
a period of five years, says the Pittahmor
Ghrnninlp-TpWranh. while the!
O L i
banks which do not avail themselves
of the opportunity to advertise gained
in the same time only 27 per cent
in assets and 11 per cent in deposits.
What is true in this regard of the
banking business is undoubtedly true
of other forms of activity. It is the
man who advertises persistency and
intelligently who wins the big prizes
in the business world.

Sec.
Lever and EHerDe.
The Sumter Watchman and
Southron says:
"Congressman Lever aud Klk-rbe
. j
voted for the tariff on lumber and
thereby made themselves solid with ,
the sawmill men of their respective i
districts. It will be up to the sawmill
men to stand up for Ellerbe
and Lever in the campaign next!
summer when they are attacked on
every stump m their districts for
repudiating the Denver platform!
and votiug with the Republicans,
lor a Republican measure."
We have no doubt that the;
i ruber trust will try to take care
or these gentlemen, as they voted to
t rke care of the trust, but if the
people are properly informed, they
will knock Ellerbe, Lever and the
lumber trust out of the box. The
fact that a trust backs a Congress- j
man fop re-election shows that he1
is not a fit representative of the i
people. Trusts are enemies of the
people and when a Congressman so
votes as to get their support, he
certainly must have voted agaiust
the interests of the masses of the;
people, who are the consumers. ? |

From Missouri.
The following amusing incident
occurred some years ago in northwestern
Missouri.
A gentleman went to a small primitive
village for the purpose of in
specting some laud wnicn ne nau
owned for a number of years but had
never seen. Reaching the place one
evening, he secured lodging in a
small hou3e.
The next morning he went to the
back of the house, where on a bench
was a tin wash basin and near at
hand a barrel of water and a dipper.
After washing his hands and face he
IUU1V J IU111 llio I'ULati' c* ivvwu' vi uwu
and, pouring some water on it from
the dipper, proceeded to brush his
teeth.
A small boy of the house watched
him for a few moments in unfeigned
astonishment, then yelled: ''Oh,
mom, come quick and see the fellow
sharpening hi3 teeth!"?July Lippincott
