There is no lack of material in
picking your candidate for Governor
next year, seven "favorite
; sons" having already entered the
lists. And the game is young yet.
It is asserted that it cost Hon
R S Whaley $40,000 to be elected
to the office of Congressman
in the First district. If the report
be true, Mr Whaley is a
poor business man to spend
$40,000 for a job that pays only
$15,000 for its two years tenure,
unless a Federal position carries
with it unlimited graft.
We do not exactly understand the
Irwrie of Governor Blease in remov
^o? ?
ing the State constables. Under the
law as it is now and even was before
the decision of the supreme
court in regard to the Webb law,
liquor could be shipped for personal
use,and this decision does not change
the status. If constables were needed
and necessary before the decision
of the supreme court, it would appear
to us that they are just as necessary
since that decision.?New.

We are glad to welcome among
our exchanges "The Pee Dee Daily",
a bright and breezy five-column folio
.sheet published at Bennettsville,
"with R L Freeman editor and
John M Moore business manager.
Editor Freeman is a veteran newspaper
man, having for a number of
years conducted the Pee Dee Advocate
at Bennettsville. It is rather
an up-hill business running a
daily newspaper in a small town
but if the plucky venture fails of
success we feel sure it will not be
Editor Freeman's fault.
Strong pressure is being brought
to bear upon Hon R B Scarborough,
of Horry county, to enter
the arena for the United States
Senate in 1914. Without knowing
whether or not Mr Scarborough
considers seriously the flattering
call of his friends and
admirers, we confidently predict
v that should he elect to listen to
the voice of the people the man
who l>eats Rol>ert B Scarborough
will be the junior Senator from
the Palmetto State. And this
prediction is made without prejudice
to any other candidate
now in the running.
' Tlmt conditions such as are
disclosed by tin Campl>ell-Garrett
tragedy, in Lee county, exist
among white people in South Carolina
is so shocking as to bo almost
incredible. But for the mercy
shown Garrett in imposing sentence
for his unnatural and revolting crime
in the first instance the Campl>ells
would probably l>o alive today.
If two years' imprisonment is the
penalty for such a crime as that
i
committed by (iairett the law!
should he ameiuhd. Such leniency
but encourages ;i moral degenerate
to continue his vicious course
and inspires in him a contempt
for the law.
INTERESTING LETTER
FROM SMITHS.
"JOHN BARLEYCORN" ACTIVE!
OLD VETERAN ANSWERS THE
LONG ROLL.
Smith's, May 30:?It appears that
John Barleycorn is putting: in some
of his biggest lick3 just now. Being
a devoted disciple of Bacchus and a
trusted page in King Alcohol's court,
he appears to be presuming beyond
his limit. Recently some three or
four of the young Scions of some of
the proudest old aristocracy of Williamsburg
county, being full of animation,
started out one dark night
"'possum" hunting. They happened
to meet with this fellow Barleycorn,
who told them that he knew where
they could catch'possums by theshipload
and if they would follow him
tnn fKot tliov alinnlH hnvp
lit: TTVUIU OtV kllUV WKVJ w?*ww?v> MM.*
the best time of their lives. But
alas for the best laid plans of mice
and men! They discovered to their
horror that they were deserted, lost,
left in the dark,and what was worse,
they found themselves in an old colored
woman's chickens and she was
raising quite a fuss, saying two of
her finest hens were absent. Boys,
let Barleycorn alone, he is unworthy
of your patronage.
Another old veteran,Mr J Lazurus
McKnight.has fallen by the wayside.
He was a member of Major Land's
company, but this writer knows neither
the letter of the company nor
the number of the regiment. He
was with the regiment in all the
gallant fighting around Petersburg.
He came home after the surrender.
Mr McKnight was born in Williamsburg
county in January, 1845, being
one of triplets. When four years of
age he was burned nearly to death,
and it was thought that he never
entirely recovered. For the last ten
or twelve years he had been living
with his nephew, Hon W J Smiley.
He was stricken with paralysis on
the 8th inst and suffered just one
week, the end coming with the second
stroke. He was laid to rest on
the 16th inst amid a large gathering
of relatives and friends. The floral
offerings were splendid. He leaves
two daughters, four brothers and
two sisters to mourn his loss.
Ye scribe is informed that the
school taught by Miss Edwards
of Latta at the McGill school house
will close this week. Guess the little
folk are. glad that they will now have
at least a few weeks' rest and recreation.
There are but few better
teachers than Miss Edwards,and she
is deservedly popular. In addition

to battle with the world, some
months since she organized a flourishing
Sunday-school, teaching her
scholars to prepare also for the
world to come, and when she leaves
us to return to her home she will
have the friendship, love and best
wishi s of the whole community.
