I find so much of goodness still;
In men whom men pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot?

EDITOR AULL'S SENTIMENTS.
Thinks Blease a Better Man Than
Many Give Him Credit for Being.
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!

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.

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

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. (

"John! John!" called the eicit- '
ed little wife.
"W-what ia it, Lucy?" muttered

"Why, there is a man downstairs."
"W-what's he doing?"
"He's in the dining room after 1

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."

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.
W E Snowden,
Foreman.

Every month prices on paper and
job stock are advancing. We have
to meet these bills on 30 days' time
and at the low price we charge for job
printing we cannot afford to carry
Buch items on our books, or our
capital would soon be all tied up in
book accounts. Therefore, we hereby
give notice that all Job Work is
?xpected to be paid for, cash on
delivery. This applies to every one.
