BLEASE HAS LOST OUT "Hagood" Bethea Finds That His Strength Has Waned in Piedmont Belton, July 25.?Did you ever know two people to make state ments about the same thing that were identically the same? You come up here and ask a rabid Bleaseite of his (Blease's) prospects and you are informed that he has an easy walkover. An other party, a man of some intel ligence, says "I care little for pol itics arid hardly know what to say." You tell him Mr. So. and So. has declared Blease will poll three fourths of the county's vote and .you get, "He is a big liar." The crop of candidates, here is large and by reason Of'.the fact you hear that Blease is in the ring, thinking their politics an all sufficient recommendation to the public. Walk around among the crowds and you hear a few talking rationally while the others listen and apparently approve. I never knew until lately how much ignorance there is here; men who were reared in the moun tains and have moved in here, who if they had it, made no use of their opportunity to .read ~and write, and must needs "make their mask." Do not gather from the above that no attention is paid to education here; that would be a great mistake, for I know of no section of the state where are bet ter academies, well equipped, and where the education of the youth is better attended to. These are wide-awake, thrifty people, alive to all things of interest to their wel fare, who come near to living three hundred and sixty-five days in the year. Up here daddy takes the lead in work and all the rest follow. I have some times thought that is the reason they seem to get 1 so, much out of life. They really I work while they work and play j while they play. Their holidays on. this account are so real that they realize their anticipations. Here that greatest of human in stitutions, and the first, the family, where love, very sunshine of heaven, is enthroned, exists in t its purity, constituting earth's nearest approach to paradise, the home, around which cluster life's sweet est, happiest most sacred and sub lime memories, the treasures we cling to even down to life's extreme ! hour, home too sacred to be dese j crated by profane feet of prying, the curious stranger. All about it is sacred ground, where in the old well is sweetest, purest water, and most luscious fruit on the trees, whose household gods, hus band and wife, then father and mother, the embodiment of love, ? mercy, gentleness, patience, for j bearance, kindness, indulgence hold j delightsome sway; home where we jare unafraid, unembarrassed, free, our refuge from trouble, security ? from danger, where is solace and ? comfort in trouble and grief, re | lief and care in pain and sickness, ! rest and repose when weary and j worn by the burden of life, the I toi', of the day. surely i "Be it ever so humble there's no j place like home." . j What a land for the "horn of J plenty." God tempers the wind to j the shorn lamb" and so in this > land, teeming, not with the name, j with real homes, plenty abounds, i for here all manner of fruits j adapted to the climate, grow, lux ! uriant. the waving fields of cereals J are unsurpassed. Cotton of such i staple as brings the best price on i the market is produced. They have j never been troubled with blight or black rot in it, nor have they had the bill bug in corn. The land is well adapted to the clover family, to alfalfa, to all manner of vege ! table life, spuds and yams. Hen ! fruit, butter and honey are super ; abundant, and cooks skilled in all I manner of cookery to tempt the 'palate, are abundant. I saw one ! such the other day, 'such the artist .'ambitious to immortalize himself 'would delight in, and the vision j that makes my mouth water still, I abides with me. i Ah! she has many sisters here. Xotwithstanding they were great ? ly belated by excessive rains in the j preparation of lands and planting ! their crops, particularly of corn, 'are superior to ours in everv way. i Every one's cotton is good but Mr. j George C6x has some that comes j well up under the armpits. With I one exception he has the finest { corn I have seen but the finest field : of corn the writer ever saw is that of Eugene Knight. A word more concerning politics and T'am through. If among all oth^r of the Piodmontese, his hope. Blease has lost out as he appears to have here, that hope is vain. This is a conviction that grows on you as you move among this fine people, and this because when once they see the right all hell could not turn them. "Hagood." Mr. R. E.

Cures Malaria, Chills, 1 Fever, Bilious Fever,; Colds and LaGrippe.j A Law Enforc ing Governor People of AH Sections of the State Calling on Governor Harvey for Assistance Columbia. July 25?Governor Harvey's firm stand for law en forcement has a troublesome side, from the governor's viewpoint. Everybody wants him to do their law-enfo?-cing. The gov^r nor fs called upon frequently for aid in law enforcement. As he put's it himse'f, every law violation, from Sunday operation of a barber shop up to threatened mob violence, is reported to the chief executive, with resuest for 'aid in enforcing the laws violated. ?The governor usually finds it his' duty, under the law, to answer j such j^rayers by referring them to | local authorities, as in most cases law enforcement is a. matter for j the local authorities and it's law j enforcement machinery. However, ! in numerous cases the governor has made investigations on his own in- j itiative. and in some cases the gov- j ernor has taken efforts which have resulted in establishing a firmer respect for the law. Law enforce ment is Governor Harvey's chief I theme. The governor's latest law en forcement effort .is in the direc tion cf requiring chain gang au thorities to enforce the sentences against convicts. From Marion county the most serious of such compirlints reached the chief cs ecutiw. There Thomas Turner, it was r<.ported to th*1 governor, who] had been convicted as accessory in j the murder of Edwin White, was al lowed to go to his home and work I his cop. is the face of the gover nor's recent refusal to postpone ! the sentence of Turner, asked for j the s-jme reason. This matter the governor yesterday reported to the foreman of Marion's grand jury, with instructions that he investi gate and report back to the chiCi execu?:v"'s office. The governor's action was taken only after he had made thorough investigation of the case and had satisfied hinrself that the convict in question was being allow* d too many privileges. It was aiso reported from Mar ion county that other convicts there were being allowed too many liber ties. One convict, sent up for manslaughter, was made a trusty. Others were allowed to leave the I gang at time's. COTTON MARKET NEW YORK COTTON Yettdys Ojwm? High Low f?r** f'lnM : Jan_21.12 21.23 20.93 21.07 20.93 March ... ?21.04 21.18 20.87 21.05 20.89!
