THURSDAY. JULY 11.1912. j ' I ?>pms to think ' Governor uiease? pu OIUVU Vil I the whiskey question is difficult to determine. When first elected to the Legislature lie favored prohibition; then he stuck to the okl State dispensary when it fairly reeked with rottenness and corruption; next he flopped over to local option, which it was supposed he stood for until he delivered his Charleston speech, when he told his audience that lie favored "high license" ? for Charleston. How long will it l>e, if his erratic career goes on unchecked, before he will swing around and advocate a return of the old barroom system, selling liquor in original packages until he can get through a constitutional amendment permitting it to In* sold by the drink? The word "guttersnipe'f falls trippingly from the tongue of Governor Blease. It is an express<iv<? word in its wav.but His Excel lency is not the first candidate to apply it to politics. The first time we ever heard the unsavory expression it was applied to His Excellency, Governer Cole I. Blease, by the late .T L M Irby,whu with John Gary Evans and John McLaurin was "running" for the United States Senate al?out 1S98 or 1S99. Mr Blease was then, as we recall it, McLaurin's campaign manager, with headquarter? at Columbia, and wjis sending out scurrilous literature denouncing Irby and Evans. Irhy ha? passe<l into the ureat neyonu, but, we believe, there is no love lost twixt Messrs Blease and Evans even until yet. THE FOURTH AT BENSON. A Lively Contested Base Ball Game Much Enjoyed. The Fourth of J uly was observed here as one of the safe and sane kind. There was a hotly contested battle between Kingstree ball players and the local team to exceed each other on the diamond by heaping scores for their respective teams. After dinner the players lined up as follows: From Kingstree: Feldon -1 n TT.I ) r McUHI, Marion runx, ^ noiroyu, ^ Mcintosh, Earl Cook, Tom McGill, B Driggers, A Blakeley and Mauldin Lesesne. The home team were Cleve Scott, Jack McCullough, Ellie Howard, Scott McGill, Guerry Tisdale, Barney Crooks, Ploot Scott, Ennie Howard, M Blakeley. The visitors fcy choice refused first to the bat. Both visitors and locals played evenly up to the seventh inning, having eight scores each. Benson's hits came at opportunt moments in the eighth and ninth innings, Scott McGill, Barney Crooks and Pleot Scott made one score each in the last two innings. The visitors fanned out in the eighth except Felder McGill, and Earl Cook made good with one in the ninth. The score was as follows: Kingstree?0 0 2 2 4 0 0 1 1?10 Benson ? 1230 2 003 3-14 The game, while minus of sensa tional features by eitner leam, was very much enjoyed by the spectators from beginning to end.

Did 1 yt>u ever think of that? i In his fierce tirades against the newspapers Governor Blease is a trifle inconsistent. Let one of them say something complimentary t<? him and he never fails to notice it something like . this: "Evcfo the , which, of course, is hostile toward me, says so and so," and yet the Governor says the newspapers J UilVt* llu IllliUCUVC. j - 1 Had the "Jones Convention," as His Excellency terms the State , Convention recently held, really 1 irished to take advantage of the ' Governor, they might have elected him a delegate to the Natiou( al Convention at Baltimore and kept him out of the State campaign for ahout two weeks. But then the pleasure of voting for Wood row Wilson would have amply compensated His Excellency for the loss of time involved. ?*Aoi4iAn An V'V* VI IIV A I/iVWV wvw - that it is all right for him to ride on a free pass, hut wrong for the other fellow. We know a good many people of that stripe. Blatantly l>oastful, as is his wont, Governor Blease declares that he will he re-elected hy at least twenty thousand majority. In our humble opinion, he will l>e iii big luck if lie receives the scant majority of two years ago, or if he gets in at all.* Mr Blease's "explanation" of the pardon of Henry Davis, the Walters negro assassin, was a simple defiance of public sentiment and, withal, an insult to the good people of Salters Depot, which doubtless they will not (ail to remember on August 27. oqco I H STATE and GENERAL K Ijj TOPICS | Judge Robert W Archbald of the I United States Court of commerce is to be impeached. XXX The Supreme Court has affirmed the verdict of the lower Court in 1 sentencing to death Clinton Glover, who was tried and convicted of assault with intent to rape at the October, 1911, term of Court for Dorchester countv. S C. and sentenced j to death by Judge DeVore. XXX At an Odd Fellows meeting in ; Greenville, T U Vaughn, who recently escaped from the Greenville jail, where he was held on serious charges, was expelled from the or,' der, and an additional $250 added to the rewards now offered for the fugitive's arrest, making the total \ $1,500, 'j x x x When Congressman Joseph T Johnson awoke Monday morning he I r i il.i l: ' lOUIlU lliai ins ClUUillJg was uiiBoiiig i from a chair by the head of thejoed where he had placed it when he re; tired for the night.

Work on the death house has been completed and as soon as the house has been i wired the work of putting in the j chair will begin. The first execution will take place on August 6,the first prisoner being a negro from Charleston. XXX Mrs B R Tillman, Jr, of Edge1 field was granted a divorce from her husband, who is now practicing law in Portland, Oregon. This brings to a close a case that has attracted 1 wide,attention because of the prominence of the two families concerned and also because of the famous suit which Mrs Tillman instituted in the South Carolina Courts some years since for the possession of her children who were at the time being ' held by Senator and Mrs B R Tillman, grandparents of the two little K mo. XXX Theodore Roosevelt's campaign manager, Senator Dixon, of Montana, has issued a call to the people of the United States who are in sympathy with Mr Roosevelt or the "National Progressive" as the new party will probably be called, to send delegates to a national convention to be held in Chicago on August 5. The call is signed by members of a committee chosen at the Chicago meeting of Roosevelt followers after the regular Republican convention had turned their hero down. The members signing the call represent 40 States. It is thought that South Carolina will be unrepresented at the convention.
