BRIEF BUT POINTED.
What Gov. Eiltrbe Says About NInyiicld's
Proofs.
THE State, I'd.

IThc State, I'd.
When seen yesterday Gov. Ellcrbc
expressed himself in brief but en-
phatic manner in regard TO the attempt
made by Senatorial Candidate Mayticld
at Pickens to present the "proof" of
his charge that the Governor had been
guilty Of double dealing in the matter
of the Charleston metropolitan police
The Governor, in speaking of the mat
tor, did not mince words or stop to
hunt for any particular language in
which to express himself. He seems
to be very much disgustcd with May
fields effort to prove him II double
dealer.
When asked about the matter Gov
crnor Ellerbc promptly made this re-
sponsc:
"Without the slightest provocation
on my part, MIR. Mayfcld has pre-
ferred charges against me without be-
ing uble TO prove them. Hhis state
mcnts arc false. A gentleman is at Il
disadvantage when he engages in Il
controversy with such man. l can
not afford to notice him further"
The Governor concluded that he

Il. II. AULL, EDiTop.
CAMPAIGN D.Y.

Next Monday we will have with us
the gentlemen who are asking the suf-
frages of our people for the highest Of
flee within the gift Of the State. They
are supposed to come to discuss qucs
tions of State and to give the voters
their views on political and govern
mental issues, ard also to let us sec
what manner OF men they are.
Really in this day of newspapers and
newspaper readers there is very little
need OF stump speaking. The people
know before hand where the candid
utes stand and what they have said. In
tho former days when newspapers were
few and the people read loss they had
to depend largely on the public speak
er for information not only as ~ his
own position but also for what had
been done in the halls of lcgisl tion. In
those days the public speaker was an
educator, Il school master so to speak.
Then the public speaker discussed Ii.
sues and questions Of public concern.
1t was not SO much Il question OF men
rs OF how the men stood and also of
their ability to stand for and champion
their positions and t. meet and meas
uro up to their advcrsarics. In latter
years o,n' q mpaigns havc been large
ly campnigns,of personalities. The cf-
fort seems to have been not for the re-
spcctive candidates to show their own
fitness for the position hut to show the
nnlitncss of their opponents aud leave
the vo'er not the option OF selecting
The best man hut to take the lesser of
evils by voting for the NAN least ohjcc-
tionnble.
We think It is proper for the candid
ato we vote for to represent the views
OF the votor, hut he should have other
qualifications TO recommend him, for
otherwise VIC had us well send dunn
my and label him.
Tho candidate. to secure the suffrage
OF the intelligent voter should have
ability and he should have character
The candidates now making the
rounds of the Stale will appear in
Newbcrry next Monday. AS the farm
ers will be pretty we'll up with their
work we expect good attendance at
the meeting. We should, and no
doubt will, give them Il patient and
careful hcaring and then measure them
by the rule here stated and c;,:' our
votes us intelligent citizens. We
should determine if the cundidutc has
ability and character and then does ne
represent our views ana cast our vote
accordingly. Ability and character
should como first and character is not
reputation, but what the man really is.
In this race there arc no fuctionnl
lines or issues. In fact the old faction
al Issues arc things Of the past.
We put the candidates on notice that
the people OF Newbcrry do not care for
personalities but we want digniiicd de-
bate OF the questions now before the
people.
We want to SEQ this quiet and
peaceable meeting.

THE ISSUE ~ MADE.
What MIR. Ttllmun Snid OF Mr.. Irby.
To the Editor of The State:

10 the Editor of The State:
| rotirc in the press dispatches OF
, Friday night last Il denial Of IN inter
view with Senator Tillmnn chat up-
pcnrrd in llst Mondays issue of the
Charlotte News.
Having been away from Charlotte
for nearly Il week and not being in II
position to sec the daily papers, | was
, unaware that the interview had been
questioned until reached home today.
The facts in the case are these and
Senator Tillman cannot truthfully de-
! NJ any portion of them: boarded the
, Columba-bound train in Charlotte llst
Sunday morning and at once rccog-
nizcd Senator Tillmun sitting on the
roar seat in one OF the slccpers. I went
over to where he was sitting soon after
tho train left Charlotte. Having re-
pcatcdly interviewed him before |
thought, OF course, he recognized me
and that, too, us newspaper man.
questioned Senator Tillman closely on
the present senatorial campaign. My
object was to, il possible, draw him ont
and get some expression Of preference
for ono cf the several candidates now
before the people of your State for sem
utorial honors.
Senator Tillman spoke kindly of both
Mcl.aurin aud Evans, but when. in tho
course of the conversation, Irby's name
was mentioned, he said: "Irby reminds
mo Of a man that has been buried for
six months and has just scratched out"
Continuing, he said that Irbys con-
duct while in Washington was so ila-
grantly immoral that it was just out OF
the question for him TO be elected to
the Office to which he aspircs.
While Senator Tillman has dcnounc-
ed the interview asSa fake, am salts
fled il he will just think for one mo-
mcnt he will acknowledge the truth
fulncss of the ontirc article. If he per-
sists in his demand / will feel called
upon to produce abundant evidence to
pro1o the accuracy OF my statement.

TILLM.i n EXPLAINS
why TIE Would IInvo Voted for tho Tariff
ISlli.

The Washington correspondent of
the st. Louis Globc-Dcmorrat tells the
following story about Senator Tillman
and his attitude on the tariff legisla-
tiOn:
"Thc weak place in the doctrine of
populism is tho theory that IL mau an
lose faith in the integrity Of crybody
else and remain honest himself. Till
man, Of South Carolina, offered to vote
for the adoption Of the conference re-
port on the tariff, il needed, on condi-
tion that the republicans put through Il
bill In which he was particularly inter
cstcd. He discussed the bargain prop
osi ion with Il member of his state dele
cation in the house.
"'l}ut you can't afford to vote for the
Republican tariff bill argued the rep,
, , rcscntativc.
"'Oh, yes, can was tho cheerful
reply. 'Mcl4uurin (whO is Il candidate
for rr-clcctiunl couldn't afford to do it,
but can. | would go back to South
Carolina and say to my people: This is
the most iniquitous tariff bill ever en-
acted. 1t will destroy the Republican
party. | voted for it because | was
afraid they were not going to have
votes enough to pass it, and | wanted to
sec it. enacted so that it would destroy
them. | voted for it because IL was
good politics to do it.. That Is what |
would say to my people and they would
sustain me in my vote"

Death OF MIR. j, &. Perry.

The many friends of Mr.. J. G. Perry
IN Saluda County will regret very
| much to learn of his death, which oc.
Cured recently in Ncwbcrry County.
He was one Of the elder sons of Bennett
Perry, Esq, who was former land
mark of his community and county,
| and man Of considerable wealth.
Tho subject of this notice was born
aC Perry's Cross Roads, and passed the
greater part Of his life in that section,
engaged in farming.
His first wife was Miss Long, q daugh-
ter of Joseph Long, ST., and q sister of
our esteemed friend of M,t Willing, Mr..
Joseph Long,Jr. Several children were
the result OF this marriage, Miss Flor
cncc, who married Mr.. A. X. Tribblc;
Miss Minnie, married Mr.. II. G.. Crouch
OF this section; Miss Mollic, the young
est danghtcr, married. Mr.. Zoblc, who
lives at Helena, Ncwbcrry County,
There are three sons, Mcssrs. J. B.
Perry, who lives on the old place:
Pope, who lives in Orangeburg, and
Robert, who has been in business
several years with Jameson at New
berry.
He aftcrward married Miss Tribblo
Of Newbcrry, and moved in that county
several years ago, and still followed
the business of farming
He was buried AZ Trinity church
(Methodist), in Newbcrry County. He
lived and died n consistent member Of
that denomination, and we trust he
has received his reward for a well spent
life.
One by one our old friends go off to
that home from which no traveller has
ever returned, and we, too, soon must
follow. While we may not meet
them any moro in this world we all
shall meet again somew hcrc, when
there will he no more parting. Peace
be to his ashes. $. in Saluda Advo-

The trustees of Clemson College, will
meet in few days to elect II president,
Col. }. T.. Tindal is most prominently
mentioned for the position. The Her
aid and News said some time ago that
no better selection could be made and
we still hold that view. The trustees
will make no mistake in clccting Col.
Tindul. He is scholar and an cnthu-
siastic supporter of the college from its
inception.

We think Gov. Ellcrbc is right in
paying no further attention to the hru-
tai and venomOus attacks made on him
and the effort to drag him into the Sen
atorial contest. The only mistake was
in noticing Mr.. Mayticld Mt all. 1t is IL
pity we cannot have Il campaign in this
State without some candidate crdcav-
oring to bcsmirch some one. 1t is the
outgrowth OF the teachings of Mr.. b.

THANKSGIVING.
The Day is Not an Ideal One in
Point of Weather
But the Customary Observances
Proceed as Usual.
DINNERS FOR THEPOOR
Are a Prominent Feature in
the Capital City.
Haskell and Washburn Meet on
the GridfrOn.

The regulation Thanksgiving of to-
day must have snow and foot ball
games. Topeka will have the foot ball
game, but no snow.
When the first Thanksgiving day
was inaugurated. in 1923, the New
England colonists tasted and gave
thanks for the blessings of the year.
Now the programme is reversed. In
stead of fasting and prayer, the tables
of all who can afford it, are heaped
with good things. Instead of the head
of the family loading his fowIing piece
and going as a guard with his family
to church and watching for Indians
the head of the family fills his purse
and seeks the meat shop.
The foot ball teams of the country
battle for supremacy on the SrldlrOn
and large crowds are there to watch
the play, rain, snow or shine. The
next day the doctors are busy. There
are cases of pneumonia and appendic-
tits to be attended to- BandageS,
mustard plasters and hot water; pains
and aches and very likely a few foot
ball players will have a broken bone
or two.
The different organizations who look
after the poor are at work serving
dinners to the hungry men, women and
children, some of whom never know
good meal except at Thanksgiving:
They have something to be thankful
for.
To some. this is a day of rejoicing;
to others, it is a day of sorrow. To
the bachelor, who eats his midday
meal alone in some bohemian
restaurant, with only his thoughts for
company, it is a day when he wonders
if marriage is a, failure. To the bene-
dict, with his happy family and a good,
large turkey,it is a day when the cares
of business are set aside and the hap
piness of a fireSide is his.

WHY SHE WAS ABSENT.
Unique Excuse Written by a Parent
to a City Teacher

The rule in the city schools of Topeka
has always been that when pupils are
absent they must, on their return, bring a
note from one of their parents explain
ing the absence and giving a sufficient
reason. Some peculiar reasons are given
and the teachers are not surprised at
most any sort of an excuse, but the fol-
lowing is decidedly original. The young
lady in question had been absent for
about a week, and upon her return she
presented the following letter from her
father:
ITO the Teacher: [ have assumed the
position to tender you a few remarks to
inform you why my daughter has not at
tended school the previous days. As I
was compelled to so to my former resi-
dence to vote, as a pleasure trip and as it
was convenient, 1 took my whole family
with me, and consequently she had to

''but I can't make it any longer"
Poor Commissioner Hale suggested that
he go to the poor farm, and he offered no
objection.
Blind joe has been a familiar figure
on the streets of Topeka for several
years. Three years ago a collection was
taken up and a large street hand organ
was bought for him. He used it a short
time and then sold it. He operated a
wagon and sold peanuts, but soon gave
this up. About a year ago he married a
widow with five children who had been
a county charge and the two had a little
restaurant near the bridge, but he tired
of the woman or the woman tired of
him and he said there was nothing left
for him to do but to become a county
charge.

HAD TO EAT 'PossUm.
Mort Albaugh Tells of a Mean Trick
Played Him by George Clark.

Speaking about Thanksgiving
said Mort Albaugh of Kingman, as he
hung his foot over the arm of his chair
and settled himself comfortably for a
chat, reminds me of the worst
was a year ago today, and it is as fresh
in my memory as though it were yes
terday. 1t was the meanest trick I
ever knew of George Clark's playing on
anybody, and he is given to doing some
mean things.
TT was last Thanksgiving and my
wife was away, and I had the forlorn
picture of myself spending the day
alone and eating my Thanks giving din
ner and saying my thanks alone. 1 was
musing upon the situation in my Of
fee when a letter was handed me It
was from Geo. Clark of Junction City.
He wanted me to spend Thanksgiving
with him. Would I do it?' Would I?
Why, I would do anything to have a
peasant day and a good turkey dinner
1 answered at once that I would be in
Junction City on the morning of the
day set. I arrived there all right and
was met at the train by George. He
bundled me into a buggy. The day
was warm and we drove out to Fort
Riley and viewed the exhibition drill
Before dinner we returned to town
and went to Clark's house. We got
ready for dinner and were seated in
the parlor. George stepped over to the
table and opened a box of fresh cigars
good ones, too, and asked if would
