I FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1912.
Governor Blease and Mayor Grace
have had a falling out. 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.

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.
