McLaurin Out for Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.-The Hon.
John L. McLaurin, one-time senator
from South Carolina, was at the
White House today to shake hands
with President Roosevelt. He says
T. R. is the greatest president who
has ever presided over the destinies
of this or any other nation or ever
came down the pike. He wants the
people to rise up and give him a
third term with whoop and a yell.
He made these following remarks
to this effect while sitting IN the
lobby of the hotel:
The people of the United States
ought to disregard all party lines and
nominate President Roosevelt for a
third term. for one intend to sup
port him if he is a candidate for the
presidency next year.
The former senator doesn't think
there is much chance, though. In
the first place, he says the suggestion
is too wise a one ever to be adopted
hy the Democrat party" You see
he doesn't think much of the Demo-
cratic party. His suggestion is too
wise for it. But there is something
else in the way. 'sIn my opinion, !"
continued the former senator, "Presl-
dent Roosevelt is the greatest man
who has ever occupied the White
House. He was honest and sincere
when he issued the statement on
election night in 1904 that he would
never accept denomination for the
presidency, and / fear that he will
be too honest to disregard this
pledge to the people" Think OF
that! Here is a man who is actually
too honest. But, Mr.. McLaurin con-
tinued: 'The nation should, how
ever, disregard his wishes and give
him a unanimous denomination and
reelection. The work which he has
begun. of regulating the railroads
and corporations and the building of
the Panama canal can not be COM
pleted during the present admins
tration and there is not another man
in the country who can carry the
work on as the president has and is
now doing"
And that is not all. The ex-senator
closed with this remark: 1T seems
to me that God Almighty created the
man for the great work he is doing
for the country
No wonder as Mr.. McLaurn ipass-
ed through Washington on his way
from New York to Bennettsville ne
stopped to go up to the White House
and Shake the Great Mans hand

rlr. Black on Town Politics.

EulIOT 1llS Dd1IlUSlS 1AC1 olO. l
notice you are calling on some one
to declare himself a candidate for
the office of mayor Of our little town.
In regard to this, | wish to say that
as I see it think the wise thing to
do is for our people to seek the man.
There is a great responsibility on a
man in office. On him depends very
largely what is and what is not done;
whether law and order is observed or
not, on him depends very largely
the morals Of our town. A bad off,
Ger generally. means bad town.
Why? Because they wink at evil do
ers and punish them not, and will
leave it with the citizens at large to
answer or to say if there is much
done to check evil in our town;
whether the officers from the mayor
down to our night police are alert or
not as to their sworn duties. What
we need in our town at the head is a
man who believes in everything that
is right and against everything that
is wrong, and with this faith have
the nerve to take firm stand for
the right and not be moved. Hew
to the line regardless who he chips
off. If any one steps over the line
cut him off and make it interesting
for him or her; as the case may be;
give square deal: equal rights to
all and special privileges to none.
We have plenty of law breakers in
our town, such as gamblers on high
order and gamblers on low order;
we have them through the week and
also on Sunday, and our officers
know of the fact. We also have
men who sell goods on the Sabbath
on the quiet, and our officers know
it. We also have blind tigers in
our town with their eyes wide open,
and our officers know it. We have
men who carry concealed weapons.
and we also have young lads who
carry them, yea more, we have small
schoolboys who carry them, and our
officers know it. We have men who
get drunk and stagger on our streets;
we have men who curse and swear
on our streets; we have men who
blackguard on our streets, and our
officers know it; and we have va
grants on our streets, professional
loafers, and our officers know it.
We have reckless driving on our
streets, and we have filthy streets,
and we have many other evils in our
town that could mention, but these
will suffice, and l say our officers are
largely to blame for a large amount
of these evils.
What we want is good, pure, clean
men in power, not only our little mu-
nicipal offices, but from the presi-
dent of the United States down to
the coroner, then we would have
good laws and they would be strictly
enforced. So let us as citizens OF
Bamberg look for that pure, clean
man of God and cast our vote for
him. This is the only way you will
ever have good, pure, clean town.
Let US as men and fathers take a
stand against these evils and get them
from before our boys. Let US nc
longer wink at these things:
]. w. BLACK.

Do Voters Think?
Do voters think?

A sudden inquiry, perhaps, but
very pertinent inquiry at the pres.
ent writing when it is up to the
voters of Virginia to either think OF
to vote without thinking.
1t is getting close to the time
when the voters of Virginia will
will elect their city officials for the
ensuing two yeary.
1t will be up to them to think-it
is duty they owe not only to them
selves but to their families and te
their fellow-men. 1t is their duty
to think and to do their duty, and tc
elect for official preference only such
men as they would implicitly trust
in personal dealings-men whom in
their innermost souls they believe
to be honest and capable and whom
they believe will work assiduously
for the best interest of the city as a
whole.
The poor mans cow may not enter
into these private deliberations
but the cleanliness of the city from
this source as we'll as from a moral
standpoint is entitled to thought.
The enforcement of law as it is
made or the repeal of such laws as
are considered wrong is entitled to
thought.
Think; the candidate will soon be
amongst you. Size him up from an
unbiased standpoint-from a stand
point of the good of the community,
from standpoint of honest govern.
ment, and vote accordingly.

WHAT TOWN DID Mr.. VASAlY MEAN?
Says Range People Who Yell for Law
and Order Are Interested in Dives.


In a sensational speech before
the state board of equaliza ton on
Wednesday c. E. Vasaly, member
of the board, in reply to the speech
of J. B. Cotton on the previous day
and in speaking of the steel trusts
support of the schools, said:
these great corporations that
have been supporting the schools
ought to have used their influence
to wipe out the gambling bells and
dives on the range. The very PEG.
pie who were 80 strong for law and
order up there a while ago are IN.

operation of these joints. The gen
tlemen who have addressed us say
they hope to make Minnesota a
Pennsylvania. hope not. hope
we shall not descend to the level OF
that graft ridden state"
We do not know whether or not
Mr.. Vasaly ever visited Virginia, or
! whether or not local conditions had
a part in his thought. But his ad.
dress certainly tingles of the senti.
ment that might emanate from an
honest man who had studied condi:
tons in a community where the sa.
looms are permitted to run open al
all hours of the day, night and Sun
day, where slot machines and other
gambling devices are-for some un
accountable reason-permitted full
swing and are to be found in many
bar-rooms and other places, and
where the houses of ill-fame are sc
located as to be within sight of the
public schools, of the churches and
of the principal residence portion
of the city; and in community
where those officials whose sworn
duty it is to uphold the law cannot
successfully deny knowledge OF
existing conditions as cited.
