TILLMAN'S FAREWELL BIDS PEOPLE BEWARE (Continued from page 2.) anarchy as it would be to say that Tillmanism caused Bleaseism. Had my health continued good, I would have taught the people the folly of Bleaseism two years ago, pointed out the difference and stemmed the tide which Jones found himself unable to Cope with. I would have guided the Tillmanites. while Blease 0*1'y mis.ed them, and all for the Gratification of his own selfish ambition. Tired of "Law and Order." "A large per cent of those who two years ago and now are yelling 'law and order,' want a law and order of their own contriving. They are not ready to admit that, politically speaking, all white South Carolinians are equal. They think themselves divinely commissioned to rule everybodv else, and this, not Tillmanism, is tne true cause of Bleaseism. The plain people saw this resurrected bourbonism and, thinking it was the old 'ring' come to life again, took Bleaseism in preference to it. Blease himself is a mere symptom. The real fever is bigotry, political intolerance and social injustice. I call upon you, my fellow citizens, you who know and claim to want better and higher things, to broaden your sympathies. Stop prating about 'law and order' and treat your next door neignbor with a little more consideration. Though he live in a hovel, though he never saw the inside of a school room, he has the same right to vote for Blease that you have to vote aga'nst him, and you have no more right, to question his motive than he lm:-: to question yours. Learn that great truth, act on it to the uttermost, and my word for it, Bleaseism will disappear?and it will not disappear until you do learn it. "Then, too a certain class of our fellow citizens have been very unjust and unreasonable in their dealing with the poorer people, truuting them with no consideration whatever and showing a contAmpt for them. This is especially true with regard to those who work in the cotton mills. In many commun'-tics the poople <iu the mill village are a class * a, art, iooked down upon and not associated with. No wonder Socialism and the 1..W. W. are getting a f hold among these citizens of ours. It was not so once, and it ought not to be so now. We all should address ourselves to the remedy lest it bring dire disaster upon the commonwealth, for in the last analysis white unity / is absolutely essential for the continuation of good government. If these poor men are trampled under foot as they have been taught to believe they are, they will join with any movement, no matter how radical and ultra, to get revenge. This is the secret of Blease's hold on the people who work in the cotton mills, and we ought by every means in our power break that hold by showing the same respect arid consideration for them ?' tha* w^kAior.others.it . v ^M^ftciously Ignorant'. "As for those who comnar? Rlpaso the man with Tillman the man, they are, for want of a better tferrn, what I may call maliciously ignorant. Blease and Tillman are both popular idols and there the resemblance ends. I had definite ends to accomplish; my personal character and private life were always above reproach and my integrity was never questioned save by a few slanderers who merely asserted without attempting to prove. There is just enough similarity between Blease and Tillman to decieve the ignorant and furnish a bludgeon to the vicious. "I do not believe Gov. Blease ought to be sent to the United States sen ate, Decause ne is not worthy of the honor, and so believing I would be recreant to the people of South Carolina if I did not say so. But do not misunderstand me. I speak as a citizen merely and I fully realize and recognize the right of the humblest man in South Carolina to differ with .me. A man's ballot is his own and no other man has a right to criticise him for using; it as he chooses. "I am too near the grave to tell any lies, if I ever had the inclinat j?: to no so: I have nothing to gain by speaking; hence there is no selfishness in my utterances. But I love thy State which has honored me so long and in such a marked degree and I want to warn our people?those who will listen to me?before it is too late. I repeat, there is absolutely no element of personality or selfishness in it. All my ambitions?and I thank God they were all worthy ones?have been satisfied. Therefore, I speak, as it were, from a mountain top ,looicing down upon my fellows, who in a few years must follow me to the grave. If ever a man's utterance ought to cause the people to pause and listen and think, mine should. For all essential purposes I speak as one who is dead. If I allowed selfishness to influence me, I would quietly work to have Blease sent here because there is nothing more certain than thi3: While Woodrow Wilson is president Blease will get no recognition in the way of patronage whatever. I have little or none, but I vould have it all hereafter with Blease as a colleague. If a Republican should follow Wilson, Blease might in a way duplicate or repeat my attitude towards Cleveland, who did not recognize the Tillmanites in South Carolina as Democrats at all. If the unhappy difference among our people in South Carolina shall continue and Bleaseism becomes the dominant factor in the State, Blease migl\t in time play the role of Mahone in Virginia. All signs, however, point to the triumphant reelection of President Wilson and the continuanco of the Democratic party in power. "There is one striking thing about Gov. Blease as a leader and a statesman to be very seriously considered. ? It seems to have been lost sight of up to this time. He has been in public life since 1890. He came to the front the same year I did. If he is such a great leader now, more worthy to be followed than Tillman, more worthy of admiration and trust .how has he succeeded all these years in hiding it? What has he ever done in a constructive way to benefit the people of South Carolina? Let those who are his sponsors answer. I have demonstrated my salesmanship and ability to lead in a dozen ways. Without even mentioning what I have done in Washington as a senator, I have many monuments to my credit in South Carolina?Clemson and Winthrop in an educational way, the constitutional convention, which relieved the people of the State of the menace of negro domination by the organic law under which we live, the primary system of choosing candidates and the despised and slandered dispensary which only failed because the corrupt politicians in the legislature got hold of it and the anti-Tillmnnites etrired them on to destrov it. Hut in spit of all the machinnation and cunning, it still survives locally in many counties. All these are largely my handiwork. In God's name, let those who were formerly Tillmanites but now Blease shouters, show what Blease has done of a similar character. They can not do it and they owe it to themselves to pause and analyze things and recover their reason?if they can. They can undo some of the wrongs they have perpetuated and restore the State's good name which Blease had made a byword ami a .hissing. The 25th of August will tell the story and I watch the result with confidence." BUFFALO Buffalo, Aug. 10.?The board of school trustees, consisting of Messrs Riley, Todd and Brown, held a meeting last week which resulted in the election of the following teachers: Prof. Jas. H. Hope, principal; Miss Annip T.miisp firppn Npwliprrv Mioo Ava Allen of Clova, Mrs. N. P. Wade of Seneca, and Mrs. J. C. Swygert, Jr. of Peak. The latter two are new teachers who will fill vacancies caused by the resignation of Mrs. Nellie Riley Johnson and Miss Jessie Vivian Whatley. Mrs. Swygert is very pleasantly remembered here, she being one of the teachers in the early history of the school and was loved and admired by everyone for her many admirable qualities. It is a source of great pleasure and satisfaction to the people here to know she will again be j. member of the faculty. The fall seson opens September 14, and under the management of this able and experienced corps of teachers we predict for the school a prosperous and successful year. Mrs. Jos. L. West and children, who have been visiting friends and relatives near Camden for the past two weeks, returned home Saturday. Miss Ava Allen, who was one of the attractive and efficient teachers here for the past year, spent a few days in town last wedf with friends and acouaintances: rrnm hprp aVio wont tn Spartanburg where she will spend a week with her friend, Miss Inez Wood before returning home.

Rev. W. F. Gault, who has been assisting Rev. Mr. Shealey in a revival at Grover, S. C., for the past two weeks, returned home Saturday. He states they had a glorious meeting; plenty fried chicken and country ham. and fruits of every de. crintion. Fish are plentiful, he says. He was told it was nothing unusual to catch from the Edisto river cat fish weighing fronrfi fifty to sixty pounds. That is what we would call here "some cat fish." ' Next Saturday evening on the public souare. the candidates for magistrate of Buffalo will address the voters of this place. Much ^interest centers in this race . Judge J. C. Quinn, the present incumbent is offering himself for reelection, and is opposed by Messrs J. G. Cogdell. A. T. Sumner and R. D. Liner. These gentlemen are all good men, and it is generally predicted that the vote will be pretty evenly divided. The mill here will close down the 21st of August, and start up again the 1st of September, by request of many of the operatives this ten days' vacation was given.

NAME OF GOVERNOR IS NOT TRANSFERED Remains on Club Roll of Ward 5 in Newberry?Executive Committee Meets. Newberry, Aug. 1G.?The! county Democratic executive committee met yesterday to go over the club rolls and to correct any errors. The committed did not show any partisan bias, so far as could be observed, only an honest and sincere desire that every Democrat should have a vote in the coming primary and that no man shall have more than one. A list of complaints or objections had been filed by citizens not members of the executive committee and these were brought up for action. Among these was a complaint that Gov. Blease had enrolled in the wrong ward; that he had enrolled in Ward 5, whereas his residence, when residing in Newberry, is Ward 3. The committee seemed to think that the governor should have enrolled in the ward that he had lived in while here and not in a ward in which he had never lived, but by unanimous vote the bodv decided the name should remain where it is. The governor had been notifiprl Hv the secretary of the club, as others had been, of objections filed and had been notified in the usual way to appear and show cause why his name should not be stricken from Ward 5 and transferred to Ward 3. The governor was represented by Eugene S. Blease, who read a lengthly answer to the committee's note. CALOMEL MAY HURT YOUR LIVER Every time you take this powerful drug you are in danger. Take Dodson's Liver Tone instead. Calomel is made from mercury, and while mercury has many valuable uses, it is a dangerous thing to swallow. If calomel stays in the system very long it salivates.

Liver Tone stimulates the liver just enough to start it working, and does not make you sicker than ever?as calomel often does. You feel good after taking Dodson's and it won't force you to stop eating or working after taking it. It is a.? beneficial for children as for adults.
