We reproduce elsewhere in this issue an editorial article from the Newberry Herald and News, which has been, and is still, perhaps, the strongest newspaper support the Governor enjoys. Editor Aull, however. is a fair-minded man, with the moral courage to condemn wrong when committed by his friend as well as by his enemy. Few editors, by the way,are held in higher esteem by "the brethren"?as the late lamented Mrs Virginia D Young used to style the members of the Fourth Estate?than Elbert H Aull and the paper he edits is one of the best among our exchanges.?Kingatrec Record. We thank you for your kind words. You are correct. The Herald and News and its editor expect to do what they can to bring about the election of Gov Blease to the Senate, but that does not mean that we have to endorse everything he does or says. In fact,we would not esteem j anyone a true and trusted friend of ours who endorsed everything we said or did,nor do we conceive it the part of true friendship to do so. We know we have faults and that we frequently do things we should not and say things better left unsaid. We try to be fair to everyone and to speak the truth as we see it and to do the right. Sometimes we all make mistakes. There is none perfect. Gov Blease is the equal in ability of any who are in the race for the Senate, he is from our town, he is our friend and a much better and a1 more kind-hearted man than i great many give hi\i credit for being. We have known him from his childhood, taught him when he was a boy, his father was one of the best friends we ever had when we needed a friend, and for these and other reasons we expect to do what we can in a fair1 and honorable way to bring about, his election. And because of these things we feel that we can disagree with him when we think he is wrong, J and still be his friend,?yeicberry! Herald and News. ? Better be a whale in a country town than a tadpole in a big city. A Card. However glad I would be to continue my services as Road Engineer for Williamsburg county, I am compelled, though reluctantly, to withdraw my candidacy for reappointment the office. This step on my part is made necessary by personal business matters that will require hereafter considerable attention, and in view of the insufficiency of the compensation attached to the office <of Road Engineer, 1 find that I cannot longer give it my full time and attention. Thanking my friends and all who have contributed to my election in the past, I beg to remain, Most respectfully, Jno M Eaddy, R E. June 15, 1915. STATE CAMPAIGNERS ATSUMTER Speak to Audience ol 1,200?Resume ol "Governors'" Speeches. Sumter, June 17:?Enforcement! of the law and increased educational facilities were the issues developed by the candidates for Governor here today in the initial meeting of the county-to-county canvass of the can-1 didates for State offices, which met with the enthusiastic support of t"he maioritv of the audience of twelve hundred people, who crowded the court house and utilized every inch of available standing room, judging from the applause which met the! sentiments expressed by John G Clinkscales and R A Cooper, when they termed these the paramount issues. Richard I Manning was given an ovation by the people. This being his home, he did not make a regular speech, but gave his time to the other candidates. Chas A Smith came out for State-wide prohibition, and John G Clinkscales, besides advocating stripes for blind tigers and pistol "toters," said if elected Governor, he would do all in his power to break up race track gambling in Charleston and suppress the blind tigers in Columbia. R A Cooper also denounced the race track gambling and stressed j the need of enforcement of the law. John G Richards came out flatfooted against compulsory education and stated that he was not a coattail swinger. Charles Carroll Simms denounced I the personal enrolment required of voters under the new rules as outrageous and as an attempt to disfranchise the poor man. W C Irby, Jr, flayed Northern control of cotton mills and banks and advocated regulation of cotton mill mergers. Lowndes J Browning advocated State aid to assist tenant white farmers in buying and owning their own farms. Mendel L Smith drew applause, which vied with that for Ciinkscales and Cooper, when he vigorously protested against indiscriminate use of the pardoning power and announced himself in favor of local option compulsory education. John T Duncan denounced what he calls the "system." J B A Mullally was not present. Several of the candidates took flings at "coat-tail swingers," much to the delight of the crowd, which cheered every such reference. Darlington will hold its annual Fourth of July Horse Show July 3, by reason of the 4th falling on Saturday. The Horse Show will begin at 10:00 a. m. on the Public Square. Races will be held at the Driving Park at 2:00 p. m. A good time is guaranteed everybody. It fUady Courage. The Duchesse de Berry, whose husband was the son of Charles X t? j_ J J ~ ui rnuicc, 10 ueaunucu m iuc memoirs of the Comtesse de Boignc" as one of the most courageous characters the writer ever knew. One day, when she was driving with her husband, the Due de Berry, the horses took fright and ran away. The duchess had continued the conversation without changing the tone of her voice, and at last her husband exclaimed: "Why, Caroline, do you not see what has happened ?" "Yes, I see; but as I cannot stop the horses it is useless to trouble '< about them." The carriage was upset, but no ' one was hurt. ( Th? Ruling Passion. "John! John!" called the eicit- ' ed little wife. "W-what ia it, Lucy?" muttered the big baseball player as he drowsi- i ly turned Over in bed. "Why, there is a man downstairs." "W-what's he doing?" "He's in the dining room after 1 the plate." 4 "Trying to reach the plate ? Put him out; put him out at third!" ^ i Crocodile Worship. It was in the very ferocity and terribleness of the crocodile that the Egyptians found the inspiration j for the cult they devoted to it * They were mightily afraid of the j monster and therefore instituted in ; its honor the supposedly appeasing ; worship as though they had said, "Be good enough not to eat us and we will build temples to you and bow down to you as to a god." I Grand Jury Presentment. I To the Honorable John S Wilson, j Presiding Judge: We have passed on all bills presented to us and have found them all true bills. A committee has been appointed to examine the books of the county officers before the next term of court and to make a report on same. We appointed a committee to examine the jail and found it in a sanitary condition. We are glad to report that previous recommendation has been complied with relative to the connecting of the court house and jail with the city waf-pr works and sewerage. Complaints have been made to us that the public roads should be made wider when the road plow is being used. We further call attention to the fact that in many cases the public highways have been made rough and uneven by the frequent plowing into the road. All planters are hereby requested and urged to RnnH Fnonn<*pr in remedv ing this condition. We thank your Honor and the court officials for your courtesy and uniform kindness extended to us,and for all information and instruction tendered us, which has enabled us to dispatch our work with promptness.
