I hesitate to draw the line * Al koe nnf ' ' a Spartanburg audience Governorl Blease made a viciou* onslaught apon Dr S C Mitchell, president! of the State university, at the time paying extravagant compliment.* to Dr Henry X Snyder, president of Wofford college, at the expense of Dr Mitchell. What could have inspired Governor Blease to make this attack on Dr Mitchell, other than that he happened to he in Dr Snyder's home town, is problematical. They do say, however, that among college- men Governor Blease's remarks anent the two college presidents caused increased respect Vi. A - : . v . Between u? two?w net c uuu n<a.o KINGSTREE?THE GATEWAY . TO OPPORTUNITY. THURSDAY, JULY 13. 1911. An esteemed contemporary very aptly remarks that State Superin' tendent of Education Swearingen, although afflicted with physical blindness, is the most far-seeing member of the State Board of education. . . In the school book controversy State Superintendent of Education Swearingen has put himself on / record as favoring the poor man. Actions speak louder than the blatant mouthings of a demagogue. Apropos the pardoning of his client, Wash Hunter, by Governor Blease, the Keowee Courier, one of the most conservative and best edited of our exchanges, says: "Mr "Blease is making a record that stands unique and unparalleled?a record that he will find it difficult to square with the ends of justice and his oath of office." Several months before the school book adoption Governor Blease held the "big stick" over the State Board of education, threatening to fire the whole business unless they did his bidding. That the threat was effect. . ive is quite patent in view of the recent school book adoption. Pity, for the reputations of the distin-j f guished gentlemen comprising the board?or a majority of them, at least?that thev had n<>t suffered decapitation before they w e r e "t imed" by our despotic Governor. In his speech on July -1 before! I and appreciation for tin* distingished, scholarly gentleman who is ?t the head of the State unii versity, while the recipient of the (ruliernatorial l*>uquet was more ' embarrassed than elated l?y the invidious compliment. ===== It is the poor men with chil. dren who will suffer the greatest; hardship by the wholesale change! of text 1hk)1vs forced on them by , a majority of the State Board of J education. Both the Governor and ' the State Superintendent of education are by virtue of their of1 lice.- niemlvrs of this l?oard and Jboth, bv the same token, wield i great influence in shaping the policy of the board. .But the Governor's influence with the ln>ard| . i< invater because he has the] his cell and concluded that 'the man was insane; therefore he 4 commuted his sentence. If Bates is really insane he should be j sent to the lunatic asylum, . and inasmuch as the superintendent of that institution had pronounced him sane, it would* complicate matters somewhat to have a condemned murderer thus thrust upon ( the institution. Our versatile Governor, however, has a happy knack of severing Gordian knots < that would make his prototype, 1 Alexander the Great, turn green ^ with envy. j 1 |NgWAPs1); $ Your Money Is Safe in the Bank?

Governor Blease takes issue with the State Sui>erintendent and defends the action of the !x>ard. Yet Governor Blease rode into office as the p*x>r man's champion. Governor Blease has commuted the sentence of John Bates, the Spartanburg ex-policeman who was to have K*en hanged July 21 for the murder of his paramour, a white woman, in 1909. On a plea of insanity Bates had l>een examined by a lunacy commission headed by Dr J \V Bal?cock, superintendent of the State insame asylum.

J E Ellerbe, but to no avail; he is nowelected for two years and doesn't know us until 1912. Some one is to blame and at the proper time it will rest just where it belongs. For the past week some citizens of the West End of town have been disturbed every night by a regular negro pay frolic beginning at dark and running even into Sunday. While | >ur best people have protested bitterly against it and appealed to the officers of the town,nothing has been ione. This kind of behavior in a civilized town is a crying shame. Right it this same spot s man was shot iead at one of these frolics. Just a Few weeks ago two men of the town lame near losing their lives on a similar occasion. Our town is neither j i New York nor a Boston, but such iisturbances can be stopped. We notice from a statement in :oday's papers that tne Seaboard Air Line railroad company has quite a Force of hands on their road from Viullins which is tc run into both jeorgetown and Charleston. They lave also a large :force of hands vorki g on the same line in Black Mingo swamp,which expecta to meet ;he other force at Pee Dee river. ?ao/S in Atll nn. AFFAIRS AT ANDREWS.
