THURSDAY, JULY 6. 1911. , x , > ? =* The (itivi'HKjf of South Carolina I restricts the meaning of Democracy to Blease-ocracy. . If Governor Blease expects to / drive white men to his support by barring them from the right to hold office he sadly mistakes the temper of the Anglo-Saxon race. Concerning the pardon of Wash Hunter bv Governor Blease, there is very little to he said. The spectacle of the Governor of a sovereign A State pardoning his own client?a r * '^man whom he as. a lawyer was paid . . to defend and whom the jury saw fit to convict?is so flagrant an Iff' \ - abuse of authority, to say nothing t> >, of the breach of propriety committed, * \ tliat no comment seems to l>e neek J % ? eesary. The act speaks for itself? ? ' -i 1? ,i:? 1 t an meoieni, snaineiw uiw6aiU justice and propriety. The natal day of the Republic was marked by several bloodv tragedies in Augusta, Georgia. William A Lauder, aged 24, was eut to death by W S Hall, Jr. y " ^-?^The two young men were rivals H * in love and found the world too small to hold l>oth of them. Be sides the homicide there were reoorded two stabbings, two rendered unconscious from brick-bats, one chopped in the head with an axe and 34 cases of drunk &nd dis^ orderly conduct. Now, isn't this a W shameful record for the glorious' V "Fburth in a prohibition city?

Think of it! Vet the highest temperature we have heard of here A has been one hundred degrees 4 and that was only for a few hours.
