friend you meet and in whom you have
most confidence But don't try to
dodge your responsibility in this mat
ter. Don't be a coward. Be a man
and vote!
Do you believe that the best interest
Of the state demands the continued
maintenance of the wholesale liquor
establishment in Columbia? Then vote
for Manning for governor and Messrs
Slaughter and Glasscock to represent
your views in the general assembly.
Do YOU believe that the best interest
Of the state demands the abolition OF
the wholesale liquor establishment n
Columbia? Then vote for Ansel fol
governor and Ardrey and Massey tc
represent you in the general assembly
Do you desire to prosecute the graft
ers-the men who have corrupted the
state dispensary and enriched them
selves by selling grossly;adulterated Ii
auors at the price OF honest goods and
stealing the greater part of the profit
for themselves? Then vote for Fraser
Lyon.
Do you want to treat all the seeth-
ing corruption that has been brought
to light in the state dispensary as
huge joke and give the grafters full IL
cense to go on and steal as much more
as 1t Is possible for them to get? Then
vote for ]. w. Ragsdale.
Mr.. Lyon stands for the punishment
of the grafters.
Mr.. Ragsdale says there has been nc
graft.
But even If you are interested In
none of these things, still you should
vote. II you don't vote you neglect
your duty.
II you cannot make choice between
the various candidates on any Other
basis, throw heads and tails for 1t;
but by all means vote.
Many people will be busy next Tues
day. Certainly. But man who is not
willing to leave his business no matter
what 1t is, as often as once in two
years to vote, does not deserve gooc
government.
Let everybody vote.

CANSLER'S BATHS.

The Anderson Daily Mail in one OF
it's issues of last week had the follow
ing:
Mr.. Cansler charged up "one bath
% cents" as part of his campaign eH-
penses. This raises the question wheth-
er he took only one bath while he was
touring the state.
The foregoing was reproduced In the
Columbia State and Mr.. Cansler sent
the following reply which was also re-
produced in the Mail:
To the Editor of the State.
/ notice with pleasure your curiosity
through the Anderson Mail, as to how
many baths I had during the cam
paign; that l was only char ged with
one; was 1t all?
Yes; / had several. Some on off
weeks in the creeks; several were i'll
cluded with hotel bill: some when we
were entertained.
II the Anderson Mail will say that i
should pay for the one taken whilst
the guest Of that city l will only be
too glad to do so, and Immediately.
Perhaps two years more with the
same ratio as of the last three, / shall
be able to pay for my baths. You will
call to mind my first-9,000, believe;
my second, perhaps $4,000; my third
22,661. If the future is to be judged
by the past you can mark my fourth.

IT Is time for the people Of South
Carolina to take under serious consid-
Grafton the proposition of making the
possession of a registration certificate
a requisite to voting in the prima-
ry. In this state primary Is vir-
tually an election, and there is some
thing wrong about the idea Of allowing
a man who Is here one month and
somewhere else another month to have
as much say-so as to who shall man.
age the affairs of the state and coun-
ty as has the man who stays here all
the time and bears the burdens of the
government. The floating voter is
necessarily an ignorant voter and very
often he is a purchasable voter. 1t Is
against the law to buy votes; but still
votes will be bought as long as they
are for SALE The way to diminish the
number Of purchasable voters Is to re-
quire the production of registration
certificates. Even now, the floating
voters frequently decide issues, have
the balance of power as between the
divided elements of the solid, substan-
tial citizenship, and this condition of
affairs should be changed. The way to
change ii is to allow no man to vote
unless he has a registration certificate

A cow belonging to Mr.. H. M. Shil-
linglaw was killed by lightning near
Smyrna few days ago.
The anti -dispensary people have
been without organization during this
fight. The result Of the voting shows
that the opposition to the dispensary
has big majority; but the dispensary
people are we'll organized and an or
ganized few is often more potent than
disorganized many. %,
Just before the first primary there
was published a story to the effect that
operatives of the Glover Cotton mill
lost their jobs because they insisted on
going to hear Senator Tillman speak at
Filbert: that they were turned OF by
the mill management on this account.
We are informed that there was no
truth in the story, and that many OF
the operatives of the Glover Cotton
mill were indignant at its publication.
A few days ago a story was put into
circulation to the effect that President
Wardlaw Of the York Cotton mill had
ordered off the grounds certain parties
because they had come with hacks to
take operatives to the polls, and that
the indignant operatives said that they
would vote IL they had to walk ten
miles to exercise that right. This Isto-
~, also, we are informed Is without
foundation. The truth Is that on the
day before the election President
Wardlaw instructed Superintendent
Killian to see to 1t that all the oper-
atives who desired to vote were AFFORD
ed the opportunity, and neither he nor
Mr.. Kilian undertook to suggest TO
anybody how they should vote. II eith-
er story had been true the mill man-
agement so offending would have been
10 say the least, very reprehensiole,
But the idea that either Colonel Ward
law or Mr.. M. L. Smith would be gull
ty' of trying to deprive their employees
of any right, much less the right OF cit
izenship, Is too absurd for serious
consideration. But really 1t occurs to
us that to make such charges without
reasonable foundation. Is about as bad
as the doing Of the things charged.

DEFENDERS OF CLEMSON.
Anderson InteiIiseneer Thinks The,
Had Better be Respectful.

In another column we publish two
interesting" communications from
two gentlemen on the subject OF the
recent criticisms of Clemson college
both of them defenders Of Clemson as
Ii Is conducted.
tits difficult to understand why these
gentlemen felt called upon to rush into
print, for they have said nothing In de-
tense of Clemson, but on the contrary
they have allowed their temper to dis
close the cloven hoof Of prejudice and
contempt for the farmers and the
Farmers Institute, condition that Is
probably reflected from the faculty and
student body. -
The smart references to the gentle
men in attendance upon the institute
explain. no doubt, the scant courtesy
and attention shown the farmers by the
faculty of the college during the last
institute. 1t Is apparent that the far
mers are not wanted at Clemson, and
the utterances of these literary apollo
gists who hint that the barracks would
not be infested with chinches but fol
the Farmers Institute Is poorly veil
ed insult to the class Of men upon
whose support and. friendship the per-
petuity Of the college depends.
Clemson has gotten too big for Its
breeches. 1t was originally intended
for an agricultural college to educate
scientific farmers. 1t is doubtful n
one-tenth Of it's graduates take uI
farming as an avocation and persevere
in it, Yet the farmers support 1t and
pour into it's treasury each year such
munificent funds that 1t is with the
greatest difficulty that they can be
spent.
The question arises where and when
is It going to stop? The legislature
should show it's backbone next session
by reducing the Clemson appropriation
to actual needs, and 1t will then be In
better position to do its duty by the
common schools.-Anderson Intelligen-

Gard From Mr.. Ansei.

To the Democratic Voters Of York
County:
I take this means Of expressing my
sincere thanks to the many voters of
York county who cast their ballots for
me as governor of South Carolina on
the 2Sth ult. feel very grateful for
this manifestation Of their confidence
in me, and am truly grateful to the
people all over the state for the splen-
did vote given me in the first primary.
1 now ask that all Of my friends
turn out on the 11th of September and
let us roll up large majority. and I
respectfully solicit the solid vote Of
your county on that day, promising To
give to the office my undivided time
and best ability.
Very respectfully,
M. F. ANsEL.

ence In cotton futures and he consid-
cred the business&as conducted by the
exchanges In Rock Hill gambling pure
and simple.
This move began to throw new light
on the question. Mr.. Wylie also scor-
ed a good point for his side in raising
a legal question In regard to the licen-
ses that. had been issued to the ex-
change men. Attached to these IL
censos is a separate printed slip stat
ing that the license Is revocable at the
will Of council. This is not in accord
ance with the ordinance under which
the license Is issued and Mr.. Wylie
made the point that this being the case
the license was null and void and In
reality the exchange men had no IL
cense. He put the question to the city
attorney who admitted that such might
be the case II. the matter was tested. .
There appeared to be no disposition
on the part Of any member Of council
to license or permit any business to
be carried on In the city that the good
people of the town did not want and
the matter was finally settled by the
adoption Of the following resolution
presented by Alderman Johnson:
Resolved, That the; license ordinance
dated 1st day of February, 1904, be
amended by striking out the words:
Exchanges, bucket shop (firm or In
ldividuaD carrying on the business OF
dealing in options orsfutares in cotton,
grain. provisions or other supplies on
margin or otherwise, $780,"
This will prevent licenses being
granted to bucket shops In the future
and, the licenses of those now doing
business here will naturally be revok-
ed as they expire.
The next number on the programme
was the trial. of two negroes on the
charge of gambling whom Mayor Rod
dey had refused to try last week and
remanded the cases to council. The
negroes were present for trial and
Mayor Roddey still refused to try them
holding that so long as the city licensed
gambling in the shape Of bucket shops
he could not fine the 10 cents card
player. Alderman Johnson asked fol
the opinion Of the city attorney in the
matter and he held that the mayor
must first try all cases, but that any
case could be taken before council on
an appeal by the defendant.
Council then insisted that the mayor
try the cases, which he proceeded to do
finding them so cents each and paying
the fines himself.
Mayor Roddey's position is this: He
has two men to swear that this cotton
future business conducted on Rock
Hill streets is gambling as much as
poker or craps, except larger form
and he can't fine the crap shooters and
allow the bigger gambler to go free
He doesn't consider 1t fair, just oI
honest-or that 1t means exercise the
trust reposed In me-" as by his oath
Trust means justice to all in his opfn-
ion. i 81 az

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Mr.. B. N. Moore bought two
bales of new cotton yesterday, one
from Mr.. B. B. Whitesides of Filbert
at $50 and the other from Mr.. r. G.
Barnett of Tirzah at $50.
The county board Of commission
ers held their regular monthly meeting
on Wednesday, but with the exception
of the payment of a number Of ac-
counts, no business of Importance was
transacted.
The first two bales of new cotton
for this market were sold yesterday by
Mr.. c. H. Revels, Of Guthriesville to
Mr.. w. r. Carroll for 81 cents. 1t was
storm cotton, however, and did not
show up a real good sample. 1t was
ginned by Williamson Brothers al
Guthriesville, who out Of consider
ton of the fact that 1t was the first
cotton of the season to come to their
gin, made no charge for the work.

A Card From Mr.. Manning.

To the People Of York:
I wish to thank the people Of York
for the vote given me in the recent
primary. The issue as between State
and County control Of the liquor trafiic
Is clearly drawn. I stand for a re-
formed dispensary as against the ex-
pertinent of county dispensaries. / do
not favor forcing the dispensary back
into counties which have voted 1t out
promise. If elected. to enforce the law
without fear or favor, and to be gov
ernor of the whole people.
Very truly,

UNDER Mr.. Ansel's proposition the
state will have nothing to do with the
liquor business and the counties will
not go into 1t unless majority of the
voters so desire. There will be abso-
lutely no reason why one county will
want to force the liquor business upon
another county, and there will be nc
state board of control to try to make
counties engage in the liquor business
whether they want to or not.

MRS. HARTJE TO ACCOUNT
FOR DISPUTED LOVE LETTERS
DEFENDANTS Mother TesHiles In Pitts
Eurg Divorce Case.

Pittsburg, July 17.--Not the least
important development in the Hartje
divorce case was the outline of the de-
fense that was disclosed by the testi-
mony of Miss Ida Scott, the 16-year-
old sister of Mrs Mary Scott Hartje,
who was put on the stand today few
minutes before the adjournment of
the case until tomorrow morning.
From this testimony II was gathered
for the first time what plan for ac-
counting for the disputed love letters
would be followed by Mrs. Hartje's
attorneys.
That she had written two or three
envelopes addressed TO tom" Ma
dine, the coachman correspondent, at
the request of Anita ButZ, one of the
maids, and that she had also given
Annie some sheets of her paper were
among the significant admissions she
made.
Thus the presence of the single en-
velope among all the love letters pre-
sented by counsel for the plaintiff
would be explained. The charge of
forgery. made by counsel for the re-
spOndent will be reinforced by ac-
counting for the presence. in the dis
puted letters, of the paper used by the
Scott girls, in the manner Indicated
by Ida's testimony. that she gave II 10
her maid.
Mrs. Hartje's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John #. Scott, were witnesses during
the day. Mrs Scott testified that 1t
would have been impossible for her
daughter to have done the things that
she has been accused Of by Augustus
Hartje since their separation, because
she watched ner daughter too closely.
She declared the forty love letters In
the case are not In her daughters
handwriting.
