Governor Ansel's Course.

Governor Ansel is treating his op-
ponent, Mr.. Blease, with entirely too
much consideration and seriousness.
The governors vigorous defense
of his administration, which has been
generally approved and warmly COM
mended, is calculated to lend color
and dignity to the charges Of his OPP
ponent which would not have other
wise attached to them. It is hui
milating spectacle to see the governor
of a great commonwealth going from
place to place defending himself
against charges, which exist chiefly
In the imagination of chronic Office
seeker, which were evidently trump
ed up for. political purposes. If
Governor Ansel really wishes to en-
hance his own chances for reelection
and do the State a real service, let
him take up the challenge Of Mr..
Blease to investigate his record. Let
him get up the, antecedentsr Of this
man Blease and show to the public
what manner of man this is, who Is
constantly aspiring to the office OF
Governor. The7records of that COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
State dispensary and the letter OF
Lewis Parker will furnish ample ma
terial to keep Mr.. Blease explaining
until the campaign is over. The
challenge made by Mr.. Blease to his
opponent to write to Rev. J. w. Woll-
ing for a statement of his moral char
.acter is a most adroit and shrewd
subterfuge. Very few people perhaps
know that DR.. Wolling has been a
missionary in Brazil for the past
go years. and doubtless never heard
of this man until his recent appoint
ment to the Newberry Station. Be-
sides no one knows better than
C-O-LrE-Y that DR.. Wolling cannot
afford to go into print to discuss the
moral character of his members, how
ever good or bad their character
might be. We would suggest that
MIR. Blease relieve his opponent Of
the trouble of writing to DR.. Wolling
by getting from the Reverend gentle
man HIMSELF a statement of his moral
character, and read it from the
stump.
Yes, Governor, by all means take
up the challenge; Mr.. Blease has had
enough fun at your expense and it
is your time now to have g. little mer-
riment at his. Instead Of defending
yourself so much put C-O-L~EY
on the defensive and let's all see him
wriggle awhile. Mr.. Blease has lnv1-
ted this investigation, and Of course,
he cannot complain.-Sumter Herald.

Lexington, KY, July 27.-At Paris,
in Bourbon county, the manager OF

x -sAMoUNTAINBER INsTOWN,"
Milton Nicholson, Of Oconee County,
in the City.

One of the most interesting visit
ors in the city is Milton Nicholson,
who arrived in the city this morning
fresh from his home in the noun
tans in the Whitewater section. This
is his first visit to Anderson in eigh-
teen years. He came to visit his
nephews, R.. E. and w. P. Nicholson.
I'm in my 18th year," said Mr..
Nicholson, "and l have been living
on my place up in the mountains
since l was married-55 years ago.
My wife, myself and one child stay
together. My son Pick lives short
distance away. We live a mighty
good life up in my country-nothing
much to worry us, and we live peace
ably"
e Mr.. Nicholson is a typical noun
tainer, and he is proud OF it.. he
came wearing a homespun pair of
blue trousers and a homespun brown
shirt. "Yes, my old woman made
my trousers and shirt for me. We
raise our own sheep, and she does the
spinning. 1 walked in Moss & Anseis S
store at Walhalla to get me coat
this morning. The one had was a
little too heavy for this low country.
7 told the clerk that waited on me
that it was the first coat I had bought
since I got married. Fifty-five years
is q long time to 60 without buying
clothes, isn't it? Well, that's a fact.
Mr.. Nicholson wears a Masonic
badge quite prominently on the lapel
of his new coat. $50 you are Ma
son, are you, Mr.. Nicholson?" inquir-
ed a representative of the Daily Mail.
"Yes,'' he replied. 81 have been a
Mason for f1fty-one years. MY first
membership was with old Keowee
lodge at Pickens Court House. When
the district was cut up, and since l
was living on the east side of the
river I got demit and became anil
lated with Blue Ridge lodge at Wal
halla. I am still pretty well Versed
in Masonry. My mind is clear and l
remember a great deal of the work
in the lodge"
When asked as to the hunting and
fishing up in his section Mr.. Nichol-
son said that Whitewater is full of
fish, but on account of the preserves
being established no fishing or hunt
ing there is allowed. s
Mr.. Nicholson looked up some OF
his friends while in the city. He re-
membered all of those he met years
ago, and seemed very glad to talk
with them once more.
The old mountaineer asked the re-
porter his name before leaving him.
"Why remember well that name.
Some men by that name from the
Pee Dee section were in the army, l
remember them perfectly"
"You served during the war, then,
Mr.. Nicholson? What regiment were
you in?" he was asked. 81 was a
cavalryman, said he, while his eyes
became dim with tears. II served
under Wade-Wade Hampton. He
was a good and great man." said the
old mountaineer very tenderly.-

Negroes at Convention.

The editor Of the Light, a negro
paper published in Columbia, went to
the Chicago republican convention,
and wrote it up. The following ex-
tract is taken from his write up:
Cincinnati is worse than a south
ern town. A negro can hardly get
a morsel to eat or drop to drink
outside of negro dive, which is To-
Gated in far out-of-the-way spots.
Don't serve colored men" at Mr..
Taft's town.
We turned up in Chicago about 10
O'Clock Monday, all going in different
directions preparing for the fray.
Mr.. Capers' headquarters were in
the Grand Pacific hotel and truly al
so of necessity did the South Caro-
lima negro frequent the place; but
as soon as the election was over the
proprietors drove the negroes out OF
the fine place with cuss words and
talk OF violence. Some say it was by
instructions of Capers, and others
say that the proprietors ordered the
whole batch out, white and black
alike.
Either case was justifable; be-
cause it seems that negroes take too
much liberty with white men when
once granted the least privilege.
Smoking and drinking together, and
lounging on the white mems beds in
the hotel, and otherwise intruding
themselves on white men, hugg1ng
them up and tapping them on the
shoulder, is disgusting and should
be to a whole souled southern negro,
especially when he knows the same
white men would not tolerate such
familiarity for one instant in South
Carolina. No, the negroes would get
their heads knocked off. Decent ne
groes should disdain such sham IA
miliarity, even away from home.
