Shelton, S C, March 31, 1911 Has Excellency, Coleman L Blease, Governor of South Carolina, Columbia, S C. Dear Sir I am in receipt of a letter from the Secretary of the State stating that inasmuch as you have refused to sign my commission as notary public, he sends me a check to reimburse me for the two dollars sent by me to pay for the commission.

Shelton, S C, April 5, 19ll. Hon Cole L Blease, Governor of South Carolina, Columbia, S C. Dear Sir: I have just received a letter from your secretary in which you direct your secretary to ask me if I remember an article I wrote in the ? a-- -v%? v All papers surne uuic siutc. xuu Ruralize it and thereby insinuate that it was written for more than one paper, when it was written for only one. Yes, I have a very pleasant recollection of that letter and there is not one word of it that I would retract for any office that you could give me. Inasmuch as you have interrogated me, allow me to get you down to interrogatories. Do you think that the oath you took as Governor justifies you in discriminating between citizens in the discharge of your official duties? Do you not know that your oath renders it incumbent upon you to treat all citizens with a spirit of absolute fairness and impartiality? Have you done that? You are evidently aware of the fact that your action in this case is A equivalent to intimidating a citizen in the use of his money. Do you I think that the honest and intelligent I people of our State, who believe in f and appreciate the principles of con1 stitutional government and the 8 rights of free speech will approve cf your action? I had a perfect f right as a private citizen to write a communication for any periodical V and give my views on any public act cf the Governor of our State. ? But you as the Chief Executive of 4 this State have absolutely no right to use the majesty of your office to ' ? AL .r,/* YQlil spleen upon UiUSC wny ivsimuciii. upon your official acts. Why did you give your reasons for not signing my commission over your secretary's signature? Don't you knowthat it is customary for the Governor to sign his own name to his correspondence? Let me say, in conelusion, that two years as Governor ? I1 It Is Near at Hand to Hundreds ofj( Kingstree Readers. i Don't neglect an aching back, i Backache is the kidneys' cry for J help.

In the morning , on first arising, I was so lame and | stiff that I could scarcely get around j and some days I was unable to work. , My kidneys were sluggish and the j secretions very unnatural. I heard so much about Doa 's Kidney Pills that I concluded to give them a trial and procured a box. After brief use 1 felt better than I had for years.

Farmers report very poor stands of corn and they are very slow around here planting cotton. There : is very little seed in the county and they are afraid of last year's experience in having the early plants i killed. | Mr C W Boswell came near having a serious runaway recently while driving a spirited "Balaam" which I he had just purchased, said Balaam : being of doubtful age. When a runaway team frightened the mule he stopped and got ready to run, but at the command of the driver, Mr Boswell,who was well scared,the animal quieted down. This is Mr Boswell's first experience with the genus mule. The fruit crop in this section, esI pecially pears, is nearly all killed by , cold. Great interest is being taken in hog raising around here and there is talk of organizing a joint stock com1 ? (V.v. ,-w-yarutinrr n ]arrrP stnek l>any j.?'i ? ?,3 - farm.
