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.
Lightning picked a hen clean
in .Newberry county la-t week,

on having Winslow Wright again

(Senate rom Mississippi and. a?
wording to our lights upon tli
situation in that State, we ar
gratified at the outcome of thi
election. 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. The people wi
not stand for a "frame up" one
they are convinced that they hav

(lovernor-Sonator Smith of Geoi
jgia iia- the wrong front name
'instead of heing Hoke Smith h
(should he named Hog Smith. 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.
The Industrial Issue of the Colic
ton Press & Standard, publishei
last week, is a very creditabl
achievement indeed. Every one c
the twenty-four pages teems wit]
interesting information al>out C'olle

people of Colleton should appreci
ate the energy and enterprise on th
part of Editor Smoak that mad
such an issue possible. If his experience

Ths Medicine Bottle.
Is order to avert the most serious
thing of having a child take the wrong
medicine, mothers should adhere to the
following rules:
Never give medicine In the dark.
Always read the label on the bottle.
Never go by the color of the medicine.
When the bottle is refilled see thai
the label reads clear.
Keep poisons locked up.
Keep all bottles l^ked up In a drawer
or medicine chest
Mistakes of giving children carbolic
rid and such like Doisons In the night
time make It imperative that mothers
study and adhere to these rales, foi
sometimes such inadvertent mistakes
bring about terrible conclusions.?Cincinnati

j In fighting to keep the blood pure

multiply so fast the little fighters
