Mayor Grace makes serious charges against the Governor, but we would take his charges, were we to sit in judgment on the matter, with a grain of salt. Information which bubbles up to the surface from the underworld needs always to be taken gingerly. Many a true thing has thus come to light, but you have to scrape the slum off before you find the fact. We do not care to pose as the defender ox the Governor. His attitude towards the moral forces, his utter lack of reverence for what we consider the highest and best things of life and his unfair appeals to prejudice put him outside the pale of our support. But we must see charges substantiated against him from better sources than Charleston blind tigers or even Charleston's mayor, before we swallow with relish the dose of information. It is sometimes difficult for one to < realize that the alarm felt over the political situation is not really as serious as we imagine. After all, it is not a life and death case. It is frequently true that a man feels sure the foundations will give in and the whole fabric of state go tumbling if his policies and principles are not victorious. But such is by no means the nflCA Hie iHpoc nnrl nrin^lnloc mov Kn ? ??? r*...v.|/.vu wv correct, while these of his opponent may be the very opposite, yet destruction will not come upon the country. As a matter of fact the country is bigger than any one man, even a bad, successful one. The mistakes made by the people may be grievous, but they are not fatal. The country will live on and in the end, all will work out to something good. Besides, the weather is warm and it heats the blood to get too much excited over men and measures. From president down to Coroner?it's a big job of choosing that falls upon the people this year. It will not do to get too much excited. One might have "sun stroke." And, after all, the mistakes we make, while they may prove Dainful. will not Drove fatal. Twentv years from now there are not many of us that will be left to even tell of it. The excitement Saturday night over the clash between the city authorities and the auctioneer and receivers of Kidd's jewelry store, ran high. To one looking on it pot to the point of being largely a matter of mistaken judgment on both sides, but the situation was such as to bring about just such a clash. There is little question that these public sales are detrimental to sound business, and yet it is a wrong principle to single out a specific business. Every business should come under the same conditions, if any one business i. .o to do. Then too ,the city authorities should pass an ordinance, making it a general law that a high license for the conducting of such sales. Such an ordinance would not interfere with a merchant conducting his own sale, but would restrain the professional saiesmanager. In justice to the city authorities we must say that there was shown little respect for the authorities by the auctioneer. The constant side remarks and cutting slurs directed against the policemen and the mayor were not calculated to make them lean to leniency. The mistake the town made, it seems to us, was in the hasty action in moving after they were told that the auctioneers were acting upon orders from Judge Sease. Came Near Being a "Hot Time" in Old Biahopville Town. (Continued from page 1) categorical answer,' when the candidate making the statements has finished, or at the close of the meeting." Approved the Rale. Governor Blease wan on# nf who approved this rule at the meeting of the candidates, but today, when Judge Jones arose to reply, the governor vehemently protested. His protest was so expressed by voice and gesture that a police officer at the rear of the stand came up to the governor's elbow and supporters of the latter, evidently thinking an arrest imminent, swarmed up on the stand. County Chairman L. L. Baker tried to restore order, but the noise and confusion continued and he declared the meeting adjourned. Mr. Baker said afterward that he recognized Judge Jones' right to a short reply, but requested him to forego this right for once as a matter of expediency. Candidates for governor spoke last today. Governor Blease read a long attack upon Judge Jones record ,saying he had on occasions been prohibitionist, dispensary man and local optionist, though his conversion to the latter policy was very recent. He intimated that employment of Judge Jones' son, Charles D. Jones, of Lancaster, as railroad attorney had somethincr to do with thp fart of tho fnthor being chief justice, and terminated on the father's retirement from the court. He said Judge Jones, in the legislature, voted for free passes and against a bill for separate coaches for white and colored passengers on railways. Against the People. He said Judge Jones had also on occasion voted for corporations as against the people, notably in regard to measures relating to railroads and cotton mills. Citations were given to various pages in legislative jourlals where Governor Blease said records to sustain his charges were to be found. Governor Blease defended his pardon of Wash Hunter, saying he had no apologies to make for that. Attacks Pardon Record. Judge Jones strongly attacked Governor Blease's pardon record. He said that both the constitution and statute laws contemplated that the governor should consult with the board of pardons, since the people feared one man power, yet Blease had granted pardons, paroles and commutations to the number of 340 without referring a single case to the board. Maudlin tears ought not to influence a governor against his duty What of the tears ol^en and women made victims of the criminals' pistol then, if the governor is always to be swayed by a mother's tears. There is no criminal who may not go free, for motherlove does not fail even the most depraved of sons. Judge Jones renewed his criticism of the governor for pardoning his client, Wash Hunter, but added the charge that Blease had tried to "bamboozle" the state supreme court and the supreme court of the United States into believing a true bill had not been found against Hunter in Laurens county. To this particular charge the governor did not reply at this meeting. Other opposed candidates spoke about as at the meeting yesterday. Revival Services. The revival services of Lockhart Baptist church will be held under a tent near Lockhart mills store, beginning Friday, June 21st. These services will be conducted by Rev. W. R. Anderson, evangelist, and Prof. T. A. Shealey, singing evange list. The public is cordially invited. J. A. Hodges. The Tent Meeting. The tent meeting is now in progress at Monarch. Large crowds are attending. Splendid music and good preaching. My brother, Sam Danner, was to have been with us in this meeting but he has smallpox and can not be with us, so Brother Rose is doing the preaching. Everybody come and enjoy the meeting. J. H. Danner. ^nnurcn ? nay hi nuzraio. The Sunday School of the Buffalo Baptist church celebrated their annual Children's Day here Saturday night and was much enjoyed by all. Superintendent Joe F. Woodward and Miss Miss Ethel Doggett received much praise for the excellent training they gave the children. The church was very beautifully decorated with ferns, and Roses and was crowded to its fullest capacity, many being turned away. A very liberal collection was received for colportage. Miss Mary Graham returned to Columbia Saturday morning from several weeks visit to her grandmother, Mrs. Lizzie Hames on S. Church street. Mack-Going.
