The Anti-Lawyer Crusade.
The bishops says: "To what
lengths will not politician go?"
Then ne repeats the old story of my
abandoning the practice of law and
disposing of my books to make fair
weather with a wave of anti-lawyer
sentiment The bishops metaphors
are mixed, but his animus is plain
enough,
There was no wave of anti-lawyer
sentiment among the farmers who
were first alliance men and then pop
ulists. Their leaders were almost
all lawyers. Their most popular ora
tors were lawyers. Their candidates
for congress were nearly all lawyers.
1t was not until after l was elected
to congress, by an unprecedented ma
jority, that | closed my law Office,
sold my Georgia Reports, gave away
solving to devote myself to congress
sional duties with all my mind and
heart. So sure was | Of keeping my
place In the confidence of the tenth
congressional district that l bought
me a little, narrow slice of house
in Washington, so that might be
out of the hurly-burly Of hotel life
and could pursue my work and my
studies in quiet.
All, bishop, I was younger man
then, and had my dreams. From a
boy | had looked forward to the
time. when [. should have earned
enough money at the bar to support
me in comfort, so that | might be
independent and could follow my in
born craving for public life. In
1889, it seemed that the time had
come for me to realize the dreams Of
my boyhood. Therefore, without any
theatrical outpouring of contempt
upon the profession" among whose
members stood many of my most ar
dent friends, [ left the practice, sim
ply in the spirit of him who lays
down one job to take up another. My
error consisted in the belief that
could hold my place in congress. In
all my calculations for the future, 7
admit one blunder-a very stupid
and fatal blunder. 1 did not allow
for the possibility that the majority
vote of the people might be taken
away from them, by those who held
the election machinery in the city of
Augusta.
The last time ever talked with the
late evangelist, Sam Jones, he said to
me, "Watson, they'll count you out "
So little did 1 anticipate anything
of the kind that l scoffed at the
shrewder mans warning. He was
right, and it was not long before l
had to go back to the court house to
earn q livinO.

or second is wholly immaterial. The
important point is that we got pro
hibition for McDuffie county, pre-
vious to the election of 1884. Wheth-
er we got it four years before or six
years before, is matter of no con-
sequence, in this connection. In the
winter Of 1882 I had the misfor-
tune to become involved in a personal
difficulty with the late Colonel w. d.
Tutt. Owing to circumstances which
need not be detailed here, I was
threatened with ruin AS much as
an appeal against what seemed to be
general condemnation as anything
else, I became candidate for the
legislature.
The struggle which followed was
fierce. The county was torn up
split all to pieces. Feeling was in
tense. First one candidate and then
a second, was put in the field against
me. Thus I was forced to make
practically two campaigns. They lit
orally wore me out. My practice suf-
fered so much, and my debts had
become so pressing, that I made up
my mind to let politics alone for
while.
At the end of my term in the leg
islature, I virtually had to start life
over. If everything possessed had
been put up and sold, the proceeds
would not have more than paid my
debts.
McDufie county already had the
prohibition law, and I did not doubt
that Mr.. Stovall's effort to secure
authority to repeal it would fail. No
body asked me to make any speech
or write any article. So far as DIR.
Candler's s speeches are concerned, my
recollection is that he and other
preachers were asked to hold forth
on prohibition from their pulpits, and
that they did so, [ can not recall
that there was any series of mass
meetings OF the usual sort.
My recollection is that Stovall's s
defeat was generally predicted after
his announcement against our prohi-
bition law. l remember a saying
that was current at the time, to wit ::
George Stovall has allowed Jordan
White to ruin his campaign" 1t
was understood that Mr.. Stovall had
injected this issue in the campaign at
the instance of Mr.. White.
1t frequently happens that can
didate, and the family and a close
friend Of the candidate, are disap-
pointed by the attitude of those who
say when approached: 81 am not
taking any part meaning, Of
course, active part. The candidate
and his immediate supporters may
take this i'll, and may construe it in
a way not meant. So it might hap
pen that the candidate might say of
So and So: "He is not giving me
his support" meaning that he is not
actively at work. "
The voter, of course, is the best
judge Of the propriety of his own
course of action; and has a right {

goose was cooked.
Not only in that election did I vote
to sustain our prohibition law in Nc
Duffie, but have done so on all sub
sequent occasions. When Mr.. Guy
Galloway made his race in 1904 to
repeal the prohibitory act, and bring
in the dispensary, I not only sup
ported Mr.. Matt Gross, who favored
prohibition, but managed his cam
paign when he was absent from
Thomson.
There was great danger to the law
lin 1902, for the reason that the
Southern Express Company was
bringing so many jugs into the copn-
ty that many of the prohibitionists
became discouraged. We had pub
lie meeting at the academy and I was
one of those who addressed it, adj
vocating the further effort to en-
force the law. [ advised that we
raise money to employ detectives and
to pay rewards for the conviction of
blind tigers; and my wife, mysdaugh-
ter, and myself were liberal contrib
utors to the fund.
If the bishop had read more care
fully the cards signed, respectively,
John I. West and E. w. Hawes, he
would not have said that my state
ment concerning the vote Of 1884
was denied by those who claim to
know" Neither of those gentlemen
$ say that | did not vote. Closely
read, both cards can be accounted for
by allowing for a natural misunder
standing, growing out Of my alleged
use OF the words, "Am taking no
part, " or took no part. Neither
OF those gentlemen say that l did not
vote.
Is it not a remarkable thing that
Bishop Gambler should harp SO much
upon the merit Of his conduct in 90
ing to McDufie county to preach
against the barrooms in 1884? Is it
not unusual for a minister Of the
Gospel to claim so much credit fol
work which is In the line Of his dl !
ty? L venture to say that there al
thousands Of preachers, Throughout
the country, who have preached ar
written against the liquor traffic wit
out ever thought that they had dor
anything extraordinary.
Yet Bishop Gambler is wonderful

ing on the cars from Augusta to

hibition was being agitated in Nc
Duffie county nearly thirty years ago;
to support Henry Roney when he
made the first winning fight against

PETTY JOURNALISM.

One of the smallest things we have
noted in journalism recently was the
action of the Spartanburg Journal
in regard to the Columbia State.
True the Journal does not like the
State and possibly the feeling is mu-
tual. But that should not lead the
Spartanburg paper to such a display
of petty meanness as that recently
exhibited. Senator Latimer made a
speech at the Batesburg fair, and
some fellow sent a report Of it to the
State, which was not published.
Then the report was sent to the An
derson Mail with the statement that
the State had refused to print it.
Immediately the Journal came out
in long editorial, charging the
State with petty spite in refusing to
publish the article and saying the
reason was Mr.. Latimer's views on
immigration did not coincide with the
States. The Columbia paper very
properly ignored the Journal, but
replied to the statement in the Mail
in short paragraph which satisfac-
torily explained the matter. The
State did not publish the report sent
by an unauthorized party, but it did
publish the account sent by it's regu-
lar correspondent at Batesburg,
which was entirely right and proper.
The Journal must have seen this
statement, yet it has not had the
manliness to acknowledge its error

This era of of high prices hits the
newspaper man hard. Everything
that he uses in printing his paper is
way up-type, paper, labor, etc.
Living expenses are higher, too, and
of course he has to pay his help more.
But he gets the same subscription
price for his paper and the same ad-
vertising rates. The Herald was put
at one dollar year when cotton was
five and six cents and when you could
buy twice as much with that dollar
as we can to-day. Our advertis-
ing rates have only been raised once
in the last six years, that being two
years ago. So it can readily be seen
why a newspaper is not making
money in these times of great pros
perity. Still we are not at all dis
couraged. Our subscription list is
larger than it has ever been, with
more paid-in-advance subscribers and
a much larger advertising patronage.
Bamberg merchants, who never
thought of advertising, before now
use space in the Herald. On the
whole we are glad to say that the fu-
ture for this newspaper is brighter
than it ever has been.

Governor Ansel has not yet denied
that story sent out from Columbia
as to his purpose in appointing men,
bers of the State board of education
because of their attitude in the rec
ognizing of certain schools as colleges
and allowing graduates of these
schools to teach in the public schools
without examination. We would
think more of him if he would make
a public denial. Future develop
ments will show whether the story is
true, and in case the State board
does recognize the schools in ques-
ton, this newspaper will give publici-
ty to their action and endeavor to
place the responsibility where it
properly belongs. While we are on
this matter we want to say that no
person should be allowed to teach in
a school without standing the exami-
nation prescribed by the State board,
and they should be required to stand
the examination every two years.
Suppose they do graduate from a
college, that does not prove that
they are qualified to teach. The
questions of teachers examinations
are supposed to be especially pre-
pared for teachers, and as text books
and methods are constantly changing,
it is highly important that all teach
ers, no matter from what college
they have graduated, should stand
these examinations at regular inter-
walls, for only by such methods can
it be shown that they are keeping
up with the improvements in the
manner. of training children, as well
as being posted on the text books
they are teaching.

A PLAIN STATEMENT.

The Bamberg Herald is cash pa
per. and all subscriptions are payable
cash in advance. We do not follow
strictly the rule of discontinuing sub
scriptions as soon as they expire, for
we have many good men on our list
who we know will pay as soon as they
have opportunity, and as they don't
want to miss single copy of the pa
per, why we send it on unless we are
notified to stop. However, in many
eases we stop paper when the time
it is paid for expires. But we write
this to impress upon every subscriber
On our list who does not seem to
realize it, that cash in advance is our
rule. About seventy-fve per cent.
of our subscribers understand this,
and at least that proportion or more
pay strictly in advance. But some
few don't seem to understand it and
get mad when we notify them. that
their time is out, say that they will
pay at the end of the year, etc.
Well, there is no good business reason
why we should wait a whole year for
our money, and besides, we could
not afford to carry a large number
of accounts that long. So we will
enforce the rule of cash in advance,
and those who don't want to do bus
mess our way are respectfully in
formed that there is nothing compul-
sorry about it. You don't have to take
the paper if you don't want to. We
don't force it on anybody. We want
all the subscribers we can get, but
we will not send the paper on long
credit. The Herald is worth $1.O0
year, and we don't have to beg
ANYBODY to subscribe. Some who
are behind need not be surprised if
the paper stops coming to them
pretty soon.

Missing r1oney Returned.

GAFFNEY, Oct. 26.-Quite sensa-
ton has been caused here by the
mysterious disappearance of an ex-
press package, containing a large
sum of money, some say as much as
$4,000, in transit between Spartan
burg and Charlotte some days ago.
The matter has been kept very quiet
and nothing can be had from the au-
thorities about it, but it has leaked
out, or is rumored, that a detective
working on the case came to Gafney
and registered at the hotel, He left
his room for a while and during his
absence the package containing the
money was left in his room.

The Orangehurg authorities should
take vigorous measures to apprehend
the parties who shot into the house
of the negro, Handy Gloster, near
Cope. This was dastardly outrage.
No doubt the purpose was to kill the
negro's wife, who was said to be sick
in bed at the time. Now she has
disappeared, no doubt being fright
ened away. The shooting was the
act of a coward.
