THURSDAY. AUG. 10. 1911. Forewarned Is Forearmed. 1 The Orangeburg Sun is nothing if not logical. The esteemed j 8un is an avowed partisan ofj Governor Blease, which is of' course its privilege. But in last' j week's issue we note the follow-; K I I ing paragraph, under the caption, J 11A Warning'': Former Governor Yardaman, of Mississippi, was elected United) States Senator last Tuesday by the , popular vote of the people of that State. He was opposed by the present Senator, Mr Percy, and by another able man. The moneyed t interests fought Yardaman. The newspapers of the State, that is the) majority of them, bitterly abused *??? Tim rmrcmfll .ihllSO llCflDed ! 111111 X 11V - g upon him was scandulous. And yet he beat two able men in the first primary. Is this not a warning to most of the newspapers of the State who are continually abusing and vilifying the highest official of South Carolina? It is natural to suppose that The Sun desires the re-election of C ( its candidate, then why* warn" the Governor's opponents that their methods will result in that very thing? When the enemy's tactics are playing into your f hands, the wisest course of pro: cedure is to smile pleasantly and let "the heathen rage." It seems a little unusual, to say the least of it, t<> warn the enemy that he is doing the very thing you want him to do, that is to say, cutting his- own throat. Better w? i - ? courage mm 111 ins suicmui i??u^ , ""forewarned is forearmed,'* you know. The Columbia Record correctly characterizes Cole Blease as a weak but willing imitation of Ben Tillman.

We Vlieve that Vardii man was cheated out of hi I rights when iie failed of elect io: against IVrey, and his triumpli ant victory is a protest again? the methods employed to enconi pass his defeat.

I this State men are criticise* 1 fo holding two offices when one i without remunaration, such a 'school trustee. It is hard t conceive of the brazen effronter, of an individual who clings t the two highest offices within tli gift of the people. The prope discipline for Hog Smith is tha he should l>e kicked out of l*otl offices.
