RESPONSIBILITY OF CITIZENSHIP

Men are frequently heard to say
that they take no interest in politics.
This, the most pitiable confession that
can fall from human lips, is some
times made in spirit of boastfulness,
indicating the makers purpose to inn
press the idea Of his own superiority.
on The contrary, the maker of such
remark calls attention to his own de-
iecllVe mentality, proves himself to

A correspondent Of the Omaha Bee
writes from Grand Island that the
people in several counties I'm that sec
ton Of the state are demanding that
the state government be divorced from
undue corporation influence; that they
demand the summary abolition Of free
passes to legislators, public officials
and all favored classes" He says
that they demand the rescue Of the
state from railroad control" This is
right. But when we see the self-same
politicians that have led the people
into the railroad camp In the past,
and have lived and prospered all their
days on railroad favoritism, stepping
to the front and proclaiming them
selves leaders in the anti-railway cru
SADIE, 1t suggests that they are acting
under instructions from railroad head
quarters. Will they succeed in fool
ing the people? The people will never
succeed In rescuing this state from
railroad control by electing to Office
the men who have spent their lives in
the service of these corporations. The
republican leaders recognize the neces-
sity of making loud professions of OPP
position TO railroad domination in or
der 10 hold the rank and file of the
party voters in line. But II the people
are simple enough TO credit them with
sincerity in their prediction anti
railroad professions they will be badly
fooled. "The leopard cannot change

George w. Berge. In his campaign
for the governorship of Nebraska in
1904, struck the vulnerable point in
the armor of railroad government
when he attacked the free pass as a
bribe, and insisted that the first steps
toward .reclaiming the state from rail
road control must be the abolition OF
the free pass bride and to outlaw the
professional lobby.

Visit to Harris Springs.
COMMUNICATED


A trip to Harris Springs on last Tues
day marks pleasant milestone in the
lives of some of Laurens' young people
The drive through the country was
very pleasant in itself and prepared the
crowd to enjoy the nice dinner which
MIR. Wharton knows so well how to
serve.
The shady walks and picturesque seats
were just the things to satisfy on such
day. Even the sunny spots were
utilized as the kodak had not been for
gotten.
After bounteous luncheon, in which
fruit and fried chicken were the leading
features, about sundown the crowd was
ready for the moonlight drive.
All join in urging any and every one
who wishes to spend a happy day away
from business cares to go to Harris
Lithia Springs.
Mrs. j. S. Bennett and Mrs. w. F..

that it would be hard to find jollier

followed in furnishing the graters.
Col. John T. Sloan, the next candi-
date, told of his work to save the state
from Radical rule and his work in the
legislature in behalf of the Citadel and
Charleston. He had also fought for
Winthrop and Clemson and he thought
he was qualified to be candidate for
governor. He favored an honest adj
ministration of the dispensary law.
Mr.. Martin f. Ansel of Greenville
was the next speaker. He was well
received Mr.. Ansel was born in Char
lesion and he thanked the people for
the support given him four years ago.
The Piedmont section asked for gov
ernor this time. He spoke of his plat
form as published in The State this
morning. He was opposed to the state
dispensary. (Applause). He was in
favor of county option. The liquor
question should be handled as any other
county matter. He stood for liberal
pension appropriation and other mat
ters now up before the candidates. He
asked an examination as TO his record.
