1 y \ MEET YOUR FRIENDS AT THE BIG FAIR NEXT WEEK THEY WILL ALL BE ON HAND VOL XXXI. KINGSTREE, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1916. NO. 35~ ? ^??? PRIZE WINNERS. Williamsburg Horses Capture Awards at State Fair. The people of Kingstree and Williamsburg county at large have reason to feel exceedingly gratified V over the live stock that is owned 9 and being raised in the county, especially the horses, for out of the eight head sent from Kingstree to the State fair at Columbia last week five won prizes. No mules, cattle, or hogs were sent, but we feel sure there are plenty of prize winners in this class browsing about over the county if they were on competitive exhibition. Die prize winners among the car of horses exhibited at the State fcir from Williamsburg county were M F Heller's stallion, "Black Print," which won first prize in the 3-heat 2:20 race?$127.50. Mr Heller's "Wee Nee Boy" won third place in the p ~ng race?time, 2:15?$30.00. Miss Serena Lee's oh ?tland pony won two first prizes, amounting to $40.00.

To the Democrats of South Carolina: My attention has been called to the fact that tickets for the general election are being distributed to voters in the counties with the name of Cole L Blease printed thereon in place of R I Manning, the regular nominee of the Democratic party for Governor of this State. In a speech before a convention of his friends in Columbia October 24, the defeated candidate in the primary stated that ! neither he nor his friends were bound by the result of the late primary election in which he was a candidate. This man filed a pledge to support the nominees, State and national, of the Democratic party, and when he voted took an oath to abide the re suit of the primary election ana 10 support the nominees thereof. When the State committee met to tabulate the returns and declare the result, not a protest or contest written or verbal was made on behalf of any candidate. This flimsy pretense of fraud withI out offering evidence thereof to the committee or to the courts of the State is simply an excuse to make a cowardly and covert attack on the regular nominees of the party. These ballots that are being distributed will be voted by some or they would not be handled in the various coun ties of the State. There are between 12,000 and 15,000 negroes registered. Unless the believers in a white man's government go to the polls and vote the regular ticket election day there is danger of its defeat or at least humiliation. I deem it mv duty as State chairman of the Dem-1 ocratic party to sound this note m\ alarm and call upon all white men who remember the dark days of Radical misrule not to be caught sleeping on guard while these enemies of our civilization are assassinating the nominees of the party. Our people have trusted white men to be true so long that they are hard to make believe that one could violate his sacred pledge or oath,but i^is frankly admitted Dy some mat they intend doing it and we must meet it like men. If candidates before the primary and voters thereat urg G n L/VA ^ V-r ? ? tural Day / and Dull Care WEE K will be y-" to you 'shown mm lework, y?ur Poultry ral, enwhile. en the rg Coun BUIfl I Come 1 ?K | about the Maj I family comfor | Kingstn ii r.nffin?s and Caski {? h I bound by a solemn oath to support | the nominees can violate their soliemn oath? because they believe that j improper means have been employ; ed, without resorting to the party I machinery or the State courts to ' correct the supposed wrongs, then ! every man is his own judge and jury and his only restraint is his own con! science. Can we affcrd to countenance such conduct as this? If so, J then indeed our primary laws are ; not worth the paper they are printed upon and the safeguards of white ' supremacy are mere shadows. Not J ; only is our State ticket menaced but , there are three sets of presidential ! electors in the field and the defeated candidate openly states that he will not assist in electing Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic nominee for President. Could a more open bolter be wanted than this? Our nominees for State offices are all .good and true white men with honorable rec- i ords. Our nominee for President has i done more for the country at large and the South in particular than any' President since the War between the States. Their characters are unimpeached. Rally then to their support. Don't go to sleep while the perjurer votes. Be vigilant and see that every vote is cast and counted, this is your only safeguard.
