KIXGSTREE?THE GATEWAY
TO OPPORTUNITY.
THURSDAY. OCT. 3.1912.
If you want your money to grow
plant it?in a reliable bank.
The State supreme court plays
a pretty good game of "set
hack" it seems.
Wonder what has l>ecomeof Theodore
Price's cotton picker that was
voted an unqualified success a year
or two ago.
Senator Tillman says that there
are few Kleast' men around Trenton,
his home. By the way, the Senator
seems to have a penchant for hutting
into State politics that neither Jones
nor HI ease men seem to relish.
At the suggestion of Senator Tillman,
Richard Carroll, the Columbia
colored preacher, has l>een invited to
make speeches at the North in favor
of WiHtdrow Wilson. Now, h>ok out
for ti e "black peril" that Governor
Blease warns us against so earnestly.

If so you are happy,as you have the

means. Two years will quickly roll
hy and then you can have the fun
all over again. Just hide your time.
They seem to l?e having a hard
time electing a Clerk ?>f Court in
Marll)oro county. Messrs T C Hamerand
Julian MeLaurin have run
over in a second and a third primary,
resulting in a tie each time,
and the county executive committee
will probably order a fourth
primary.We
think the Democrats have re
ally an excellent chance to elect
Wood row Wilson President this
year, if the proper effort lx* made.
Hut money is needed to wage the
tight in the doubtful States. Every
true Democrat who can spare a little
cash should contribute to this
worthy cause.
Comptroller Jones has refused
ti? pay the claim of P 11 Corley
of Lexington county, for salary
and expenses during the State
campaign. Corley is ex-Sheriff of
Lexington county and was a
memlx?r of Governor Blease's body
guard, it is said.
South Carolina is fortunate in
having for Comptroller (General a
man of firmness ami fearlessness in
discharging tlu- duties of his responsible
office. Several time- lately this
worthy official has held up attempted
raids u]x>n the State treasury,
which a weakling would have winked
at to preserve peace in the official
family.
Recently Governor ruejtse approved
a claim for newspaper advertising
in his own liehalf during
the State campaign, hut the Comptroller
General refused to pay it. If
all the candidates were to shift the
hurden of their campaign expenses
upon the State the tax-payers would
soon have their property eonfisf
cjiten 1.
In Newberry county it seem- to
I l)e a regular thing for Hon "Huh"
Evans and I )r C C Wvche to run
over biennially for the Legislature
in a second and a third primary.
Fortunately Dr W'yehe usually
manages to win, and in the third
| primary between him and "Huh"
| soon to l?e pulled off, it i<
; to l?e hoped that this year will
1 prove no exception to the rule.
We agree with Governor Blease
that a man should "stand by his
friends''. It's a pretty sorry sort of
man who will not help a friend who
1 needs help. There are thousands of
I
t people in South Carolina who are
as sincerely devoted to their friendas
the Governor is to his, yet these
do not shout from the housetops
the favors they have done or
expect to do for the recipients of
their Ixmnty. Professions of friendship
blatantly proclaimed smack
rather of tinkling cymbals and
sounding brass. True friendship
needs no advertising.
v
With a campaign fund of 8300,(XX)
in hand, it is announced that
there must Ik* forthcoming $800,(XX)
more to keep the Democratic
candidate in the running. We
suppose it is all right, but we
cannot see how even in a national
campaign the enormous sum
of one million dollars is needed
for legitimate expenses. The office
of President pays al)out $300,000
for a four year term; to spend
a million dollars to get a candidate
elected looks like buying the
thrice over, as they do in Georgia
Gubernatorial campaigns.
Here's a pretty pickle! Governor
Please is quoted as saying that there
is one negro convict who would
have he**!! mnloned out of the Den
itentiary long ago l?ut for the
"toothsome pickles'" he lias the
knack of making. According to the
Governor this negro, who is a
"lifer",and has served twenty-three
years of his sentence, should lie set
at lilierty, hut is kept in prison to
tickle the palates of Superintendent
Griffith and the guards with his
gastronomic delicacy. Truly this
lis a serious accusation and we move
that the General Assembly immediately
upon convening appoint a
committee to investigate the charge.
The State Democratic Executive
foivnnitme lcis declared Blease the
nominee for Governor, which is as it
should In*. That our elections are
irregularly and even fraudulently
conducted is too well known to admit
<>f argument, hut it is the fault
of the system more than anything
else. This lax system is taken advantage
of by venal partisans in
every hotly contested election and
it would seem hard to make one
candidate or set of candidates pay
the penalty of their friends' misguided
zeal when for years the same*
methods have been placidly acqui- ,
esced in by both voters and candi- ^
I
dates If the game <>f politics i- to (
W' played fairly, .make the rules ^
more rigid and any fellow caught
cheating should lie given a jail sen- ^ i
tenee without the alternative of a
fine. y,
"My leg was useless; never had ^
heen anv good to me. so 1 of
- w ,
fered it to save this girl's life," I
is the simple statement of Wil- r
liain Hugh, a little crippled news c
1 mtv of Gary, Indiana, whose leg f
v
the surgeons amputated t<> get s
1">0 square inches of -kin to graft c
?
on the body of a young lady who
was so hadly hurned in a motorevcle
accident that death was eer- a
v
tain unless a large section of 5
skin could he grafted on her l?ody. e
William Hugh, the newsboy, did ^
even know Ethel Smith, the in- t
jured girl, yet the heroic little ^
fellow cheerfully made such a sacri- (
lice for the sake of humanity. Never ,
fc
was done a braver, nobler deed
when knighthood was in flower, 1
and yet they tell us that the ^
age of chivalry is past. Let us h
all hope that the grafting will ^
he successful, so that the little t
"newsy's" sacrifice will not have e
l>een in vain. v

we cannot accept your doubtless n

reasons, primarily because we are a
