on the hustings.
"Only snakes and geese hiss,"
said Governor Blease when his sentiments
on the subject of lynching
were roundly hissed at the Governors'
convention. The first time we
remember ever hearing that expression
was when B R Tillman used it
at the Chicago convention in 1S9(>,
only he luul it, "Only snakes, geese
and fools hiss," as we recall it.
Blease has employed the expression
several times in his public speeches,
showing that he is a close imitator
of Tillman in words as well as deeds.
The expression may have heen original
with Tillman.
Governor Blease avers that he was
misquoted in the report of his
speeches before the Governors' conference
at Richmond. He has furnished
the press correspondents with
a verbatim stenographic report of
what he did say. We have read
both reports carefully and if there
was any misrepresentation on the
part of the Richmond reporters, we
fail to see it. But, then, it is a
common thing for Blease to fall
back on the time-^orn plea of
"misrepresentation" when he wants
to extenuate his reckless and intemnp.rjit.ft
-utterances.
In one day last week there were
three affrays in Greenwood county,
one fatal and another that may
prove so. In one "of the mill districts
a bloodless pistol duel was fought
before sunrise between S V Mills
and J E Kennett, mill operatives;
the next affair was a shooting affray
in the public road near "Callison, in
which 0 M Calvert was probably fatally
wounded by Jim Hollingsworth;
and, finally, the killing of a
sixteen-year-old negro boy by a
white boy named Zeigler occurred in
the lower part of the county.
Thrown in for good measure, a negro
woman in "Taylor Ring", a negro
section of Greenwood, was painfully
beaten up by a negro man.

Whole Family Benefited
By Wonderful Remedy
There arc many little things to
annoy us, under present conditions
of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability.. We are frequently so
worn out we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as well.
A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to take something
lik#
Dr Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
to relieve the strain on the nerves.
Mrs. J. B. Hartsfield, 33 Corput St,
Atlanta Ga., writes:
*1 have on several occasions been
vastly relieved by the use of your medicines,
especially the Anti-Pain Pills,
which I keep constantly on hand for
the use of myself, husband and two
sons. Nothing In the world equals them
as a headache remedy* Often I am
enabled by the use of one or two of
the Pills to continue my housework
when otherwise I would be In bed. My
husband Joins me in my praise of the
Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine."
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
are relied upon to relieve pain,
nervousness and irritability in thousands
of households. Of proven
merit after twenty years' use, yon
