FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1914.
The Defeat of Blease.
The Times editor has never
been one to show malicious hatred
towards Cole L. Blease.
The criticisms made against
him and his administration
have been respectful and in conservative
language. The opposition
expressed has been dignified
and orderly expression of
the judgment that he was unfit
to nil tne nign position of governor
of the State. Now that he
is defeated we do not propose
exulting and boasting over the
fact. We have no desire to "rub
it in" on the followers of Governor
Blease. It is satisfaction
enough for' us that Governor
Blease has been defeated. Many
of his followers were honest in
their belief that he was "the
? c. ? 1 i? " * *
endorse all the chief executive
did , nor all he said. We felt
that he was about the worst enemy
the poor man had, and so
expressed it; we thought he exercised
the pardoning power too
freely and altogether indiscriminately,
and so expressed the
thought. We felt and still feel
that he was unfit for the position
because he was too narrow
in his views. He was the governor
of his political followers
and the avowed enemy of all his
opponents. His attitude was
that of a tyrant, and not of a
chief executive, and he usurped
the functions of legislative
and judicial nature in the exercise
of his executive duties. He
has been intemperate in the discharge
of his executive duties.
There is another reason for
the condemnation of Governor
Blease: He has done more to
array class against class than
any man who has held the office
of governor of the State. His
words, actions, and attitude
have incited lawlessness to action.
Under his administration
the courts of the State have
gone to pieces. They were already
tottering, but it remained
for him to level them in the
dust.
We do not feel called upon to
say more upon the matter. Tt i?
now a passed issue, and the machine
he has built up will go to
pieces like a bottle dashed upon
a rock.
There is just one phase of the
matter that we feel should be
weighed carefully: Behind
Blease there was a reason.
Blease, the man, was an accident;
Bleaseism, under some
other name, would have come
just the same?even though it
might have been delayed. The
reason is, we take it, in the injustice
and thoughtlessness too ^
often manifested by the well-to- dt
do and prosperous towards the ^
man who is "down and out." jj
It is too hard a battle the poor
man has to fight. He stands too
poor a chance in the courts. He
pays too much for what he gets
and gets too little for what he
does in many cases. There will
have to be an awakening of the
prosperous people; then must
come into our courts "even
handed" justice. There must be
more of the golden rule in business,
industry and all commercial
activities. There must come
to be more of the spirit of helpfulness;
more thought for others;
less selfishness; less greed;
less oppression, if Bleaseism is
to lie in its grave. It will come
up in some other name, otherwise;
but it will be the same
thing in essence.
Come to think of it, the bitterness
so often felt and yet not spoken, is
a comforting thought now the battle
is over. It is better so. After all,
the mountains of the present often
shrink into mole hills as the time
goes on.
The Times editor desires the good
will of all his neighbors, whether he
may agree with them in politics or
not. Here's hopir.g we may be able
to ?>pr?c to airtofgreo Vr? our political
differences and get busy in our effort
to build up a great and good community.
May rich fields abound and
plenty fill our land with fatness.
We wish to express our appreciation
of the courteous treatment accorded
us by the public while we were
giving the returns Tuesday night.
There was practically no boisterous
conduct. There were very little signs
of drinking. The whole day of the
election passed off in a remarkably
quiet manner.

A Marriage.
Mr. Perry Thomas and Miss Hallie "
prouse of Buffalo were married at Ir
le home of the bride's last Wednesly
afternoon. Mr. and Mrs Thomas m
ft shortly after the ceremony for
partanburp where they will visit Mr.
homas' parents.
LOCKHART JUNCTION [
Lockhart Junction, Aug. 24.?We '
are needing rain in this section. Old '
corn is made but there is a great deal ,
of young corn that needs rain.
Mr. J. E McKinney of this section '
and Mr. Johnson Sprouse, who lives <
near Bald Rock in Pincknev township
has the best corn I have seen.
I see sugar has gone down in price '
and it seems there is some speculation
on sugar and meat, as bacon has
gone up. The war scare is on and
that seems to be the cause, but why
should there be any scare, the same
people would eat the same ration at
home. There must be some speculation
and if this is the case, the parties
ought to get broke. Sugar went
up a few years back but it soon made
a tumble and went back to reasonable
price. I hope it will be the case this
time.
I visited in the Wesley Chapel section
of Pinckney township last week
and stayed at the home of Mrs. Gist
Farr, where I was treated royally;
visited Mr. Ashmore Vanderford and
he gave me much hospitality. Mr.
Vanderford showed me four fine hoes
that would net him about a thousand
pounds of meat if they were killed
now, but you see he has about four
months to fatten them yet and the
hieh price of meat won't effect him, ;
even if bacon still brings a high price.
Mrs. W. W White visited relativeat
Santue last week.
Mrs. W. C. Edmonds and children
and Mr. Joe Edmonds spent Sundav
i at Mr. W. H. Pace's.
Miss Mabel Vinson visited MisBertha
Hart at Pacolet last week.
M iss Marie Burgess has returned
| from Paeolet where she has been visiting
a week.
Mr. Clary White has just returned
from a visit to Columbia.
The depot at this pTace was broken
into last night by some unknown party,
but there was not anything missed;
only about 75 cents was in the
ticket drawer, which was taken.
M iss Elizabeth Edmonds, who has
been visiting her brother, has gone to
her home in Abbeville.
There were many visitors from
Jonesville and other places attending
Sunday school at this place Sunday.
Mr. F. M. Adams of Adamsburg,
showed us around his place last week.
He has a well in his house and has a
very large tank that holds many gallons
of water and he pumps his water
from the well with his gasoline engine
into the tank that furnishes water
to his barn for his stock, and to
run his gin, and also has sewerage,
bath tubs ,and water works in all
parts of his house. He has town life
in the country. Moxv.
