In men whom men pronounce divine,

On Wednesday, December 30,
Governor Blease added fifty-five
more to his list of pardons and paroles,
making a total of 1,544 since
he has been in office. There are
now only one hundred and fortynine
convicts left in the penitentiary
and on the State farms and
chaingangs.
With seven years of plenty hehind
them and over eight thousand
bales of cotton in excess of last
year's crop; with an unusually big
crop of provisions made and nearly
a million dollars on deposit in the
hanks of the county, we can see no
reason why the people of Williamsburg
county should lie suffering or
even hard up.
The entente cordialc between Uncle
Sam and .John Bull seems a bit
strained, but it will probably
amount to nothing more than a
game of diplomatic logomachy.
Uncle Sam is not spoiling for a
fight and John Bull has both hands
!
pretty full already, although it has
always been his fate to fight Uncle
Sum when he was engaged in war
with other nations.
Many i>eople remark in a rather
complaining way that Christmas
passed off so quietly that it "seemed
just like Sunday." Well, why
shouldn't Christmas not only seem,
but be like Sunday, if observed in
the proper spirit? Surely those
who celebrate the anniversary of
our Savior's birth would not have a
fight, or a fire, or a murder or two
on such an occasion. So, by all
means, let us be thankful that "we
had a quiet Christmas," without
noise and excitement.
Hie whole country is infested
with a horde of vagrants and hog
gars. It is no unusual occurrence,
when one's front door Ix-il rings to
find from one to four husky tramps
demanding a "hand-out.'* There
should be a stop put to the visitations
of these parasites. Down with
the hoboes and vagrants. They are
not looking for work. If it is offered
they will side-step it. They are,
most of them, out of work l*eeause
there is no work in them.
We venture the opinion that the
* *T *i 3 i...
newspapers ot tne tnnea oiuies,
in this stupendous European war,
have spent more money and received
less real news therefor than ever
before in their experience. Every
day we are confronted with glaring
head-lines, followed by column after
column of "war news," and
after wading through it all one is
no wiser as to the real state of
things than before he began. The
pen may be mightier than the
sword, as Bulwer avers, hut the
censor is mightier than the pen.

22, whatever the outcome of the

NEW COUNTY WINS OUT.
W1U Be Named McDoffle?Wins
by Big Note, 619 to 97.
McCormick, December 29:?By
an overwhelming vote, 619 to 97,
the promoters of the "McDuffie"
county movement won out in the
election held today in the portions
of Abbeville, Edgefield and Greenwood
counties affected. The proposed
new county territory in each
old county gave more than the twothirds
in favor of "McDuffie" county,
which, after expected favorable
action by the General Assembly, will
be South Carolina's forty-fifth county,
the Palmetto State's "baby."
This town will be the county seat.
The vote in detail, as reported, is
as follows: Abbeville, 375 for and 61
- 1-1 1 /? t 1 1 AO J J OO
against; rxigeneia, i?o xor anu co
against; Greenwood, 51 for and 13
against.
This is regarded as a great victory.
It comes ten years after the first
election, which was also by fin overwhelming
vote carried for the new
county, which lost out on account of
a very small error in the matter of
territory, due to a slight inaccuracy
in the survey. The territory this
time has been accurately surveyed
and the people of this territory now
look confidently to the General Assembly
for the formation of their
much-needed and cherished new
county.
The fight has been long, hard and
tedious, but everybody feels fully
repaid for the part he contributed
towards this overwhelming victory
and the ultimate attainment of the
formation of this new county.
