Verses set to the tune of Casey ones. ,ook here, you fellers, if you please, 'or here's a story 'bout Kolell Bleeeze," le's now the governor of a great oil state, lut soon you'll hear that he's met his fate. le's a long slim fellor with a black mustache, Vnd his favorite dish is "Pardon Hash." le gives folks names and has lots to say, \nd his right-hand man is Sammy Jay. iVhen he tries to make a speech he gets as made as fire, \na cans everybody a malicious liar. 3e says, if you don't elect me governor again, '11 turn every chicken out of the pen. Jp in Gaffney, so the papers say, de tried to get famous and gain the day. le sdys to a man, just meet me up town \nl I'll give you a licking that'll let you down. The man says, don't postpone the. date, lust step out here and I'll give you a bait. Little Kollie says, ti's too.- hot to fight, ..et's change the subject and it'll be all right. Two weeks ago last Saturday night, remember seeing a pitiful sight, such "Kollieism" I have never heard \s at the opera house where the thing occurred. They tried to entertain Mr. John P. Grace, Vnd served refreshments at a lively pace. iVe'll have to excuse them for doing so bad, (Jause a rotten egg is all the poor Kollieites had. >om all you hear and all you see, fou can think what a fellow old Kollie must be, \nd from all I've seen and from all I've heard, Take it from me, Old Kollie's a bird. )ear Editor: Will you kindly publish the above rerses in your paper and accept our hanks? We are your friends. John and Vernon. For Governor Blease. Jr. Editor: You seem to be in favor of Jones or the next term as governor. At he same time showing the true rea? onable loyal spirit of our governnent by publishing many letters ; written in favor of Governor Blease^ d Unpleasant as this controversy eems as to who shalj^be gctas^ar, t seems to be beneficial to qfanfr' in .wakening a spirit of interest in poitical affaiTs. Not only are the men wrought up to uncommon interest on his one question, but many women i rho never before seemed to be the iast bit interested any way in poli- ( ics are now much decided and in- ] erested as to whom shall be the 1 ext governor of South Carolina. i Much of this undue excitement eems due to ignorance. Many exag- ] rated charges are being, it seems, rought or presented to the public, ( nth reference to the governor. The . hief one is that he is turning out j o many criminals among the people, ire not the people themselves doing he first work of turning out all these riminals? Probably not one of these riminals has ever been released on , furlough or pardon except those rho had lengthy petitions presented or them signed by their friends and fficers of the law. The governor has the lawful right a sign petitions to have criminals eleased when they are presented. He ' i properly and lawfully the governr of all the people and is only disharging his lawful duty to all the eople when he signs their own petions. It seems very unjust and ery unreasonable that any person hould blame an officer of the law >r discharging their lawful duty. Governor Blease is a most deirvedly popular man with both men nd women. They will not be influnced by any exaggerated charges gainst him. He has attended to a . ery large amount of business during is time in office and seems to be the rst governor of the State to attempt ) wipe out millions cf dollars of inebtedness of many years standing; It is the law of our nation that the . Ulcers of law be elected by an honest lajority vote. It seems the duty of II persons to comply with this law anestly reasonably and peaceably. The question is soon to be decided id the suspence of many to cease for time. Whether they are pleased or suited " Y the election's decision or not they ( lould all try to be contented.

Kelton, S. C., Aug. 19, 1912.?The weather is very warm today.

V'TUpS are needing rain and if it stays hot and dry several days they will be cut short. One of the oldest citizens of tha Ridge died last Saturday evening and was buried at Foster's chapel church Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. H. Manly, assisted by Rev. John G. Farr, in the presence of a large congregation of relatives and friends. Uncle Joseph Gault was about 86 years old. The protracted meeting at Mt. Joy church closed last night. Rev. J. L. Hodges did all the preaching. Mr. Hodges is an able divine, and his preaching was very strong and convincing; his sermon at 11 o'clock on Sunday last, on sanctification, was strong and well delivered. Eight joined the church. 1 heard only part of his preaching and thfr4 was no politics in what I heard, but it was full of sound Bible do&rine. I wish the same could be truthfully 3aid of all the preachers in South Carolina, but a few must join in for Blease and what he is advocating and a host o fthem for Jones. The Columbia State claims 90 per cent of them. Well the old State of South Carolina will move on whether Bleaso ...U~Al T ui nucuicr uulies is elected. we heard these predictions over twenty years ago, if certain men were elected in South Carolina, and they were, and still the grand old State is standing -erect today. Contributor. The Railroads and Politics. It was perfectly well known at the election two years ago that both the Southern and the Columbia, Newberry & Laurens roads were for Blease for governor, and it is understood they are still so. Why? is another question. Suffice it to say that railroads are not in politics for the mere fun of it. At Winnsboro Gov. Blease said in his speech that B. L. Abney, chief attorney for the Southern, appointed Charles Jones, son of Ira B. Jones (at that time chief justice of af South Carolina) an attorney for the Southern railroad. "Ben Abney made him attorney for his road," declared Gov. Blease, "and megaphoned through Charlie to Judge Jones on the supreme bench for what he wanted?and got it." Mr. Abney, by his silence, gives a quasi assent to the charge. .President Finley, by his silence, admits that his railroad resorts to such tricks to influence improperly the highest judicial tribunals. It was already known that the mil *oads, by appointing members of the legislature local attorneys, attempted to affect legislation, and that by free passes they attempted to influ;nce the newspapers in their favor; but this is the first time it has been charged, or admitted, or asserted that ;hey are attempting to corrupt justice at its fountain head. A statement of this kind, coming from the governor of the State, can lot well be ignored. If true, it shows :.hat. the railroads are deliberate corrupters of justice; if not true?then what of the man who makes the assertion ? What does Mr. Abney say? What loes President Finley say? The whole State knows that Ira B. Jones, as judge or otherwise, is inlorruptible; but what about this icheme of the railroads to corrupt ihe courts??Newberry Observer. * We are Receiving Ev< | New Fall Cloth | son Hats an X We need the room a .
