AMONG THE EXCHANGES.
A Gentleman in Politics.

The issue is not of Mr.. Rhett's maxi
ing, but it must be decided. Will it be
worth while hereafter for a man of in
telligence, of ability, of integrity, OF
party service and clean record to enter
a stump-speaking campaign in South
Carolina and address himself to the dis
cussion of political questions affecting
the State and the Republic, abstaining
from personalities, refusing to indulge
in blackguardly language, SANDER and
b~illingsgate? The candidates for United
States Senator have appeared at thirty
eight meetings. Suppose that Mr..
Rhett, charged with being a Rcpubli-
can, (this same Mr.. Rhett whom the
Democrats of South Carolina sent to a
national convention four years ago, and
whom the Democrats of Charleston
have twice elected mayor,) had re-
sponded, you're a 'liar!'" would that
have proved his fitness to represent
South Carolina creditably in the Ameri-
can Congress.
Shall a gentleman, ambitious to be
Senator, before submitting his claims
to the voters in a primary, resolve to
handy epithets and discuss PERSONAL
ties or else abandon his ambition? That
question must be answered in the pri-
mary. Do the people of South Carolina
want upright, selt-respecting, dccently
behaved men to participate in party
primaries?
Mr.. Rhett has not made that the is
sue. But it is the issue just the same.

Candidate Blease charges Governor
Ansel with extravaganza in his admin
istration. This accusation falls fiat on
the ears of thinking IL informed peo-
pie. They know that it is the General
Assembly, of which Blease is a mem
Der, that makes the appropriations and
determines the amount of expenditures
by the State. The governor of South
Carolina has nothing to do with the
economy or extravaganza of the State.

Hon. e. ID. Smith can do no more for
the farmers in the United States Senate
than can any of the other aspirants for
that office. In his present work he is a
help to the farmers; why not keep him
here at home? He is the best cotton"
speaker in South Carolina and we ought
not to let him get lost in the Senate.

The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1908-08-19

Candidate Smith promises to raise
the price of cotton if he is elected to
the Senate, but the folly of his idle
boasts is too apparent to the thinking
people today. The farmers will not al
ways allow themselves to be used by
politicians who ride into office on their
shoulders.

Strange it is how sane, sensible men
can contend that a dispensary decreases
the sale and consumption of whiskey.
Under a ~dispensary regime we have
three agencies for the supply: blind til

Just so soon as the primary elections
are over with we purpose devoting our
time almost entirely to increasing the
campaign fund started by us some
weeks ago. The need is urgent and we
are alive to its Importance. All we ask
is the hearty cooperation of Laurcns

some years at least.
In surrendering the office, the

A Wise Omission.

From Meridian Evening Star.
In discussing things done and
left undone by the legislature,
which adjourned last Saturday,
credit is due the Senate Tor its
refusal to pass the bill fixing pas
senger rates on all roads within
Mississippi at two and a hall
cents per mile. Every intelli-
gence and every influence look
ing to. the permanent welfare OF
the State was opposed to this
measure and tn at opposition
found expression, locally, in reso
lutions OF protest by lhe Board
OF Trade, representing the busi>
ness interests of the city, as well
as by the municipal boards reps
resepting the whole people; and
these were supplemented by a
numerously signed petition cir
culated by railroad employees.
Mississippi does not need cur
tailment, but expansion, OF its
railroad service, and the gripping
of that service which would ell,
sue upon a reduction OF passen-
ger fares would never be com
pensated in the tritling saving to
individuals who travel; and that
this fact was recognized by bust
ness men, whose drummers are
,he largest travellers, was demon
strated in the protests which they
sent up to the legislature. They
understood that such action on
the part of the State would ne
cessarily diminish the number OF
trains run, and otherwise curtail
travelling facilities to their loss
and detrilAent. while every busi
ness must suffer from the throw
ing out OF employment of large
number OF trainmen engaged i'll
operating passenger trains.
Moreover, the spirit that ami
mated this measure is not IA good
one to encourage; the anti rail-
road agitation is rot a good thing
for Mississippi, whatever its ben
efts elsewhere, because we need
more railroads and because there
is no complaint here OF any great
abuses practiced by these corpo.
rations. The lines within t h e
State are amenable to a Npablc
railroad commission, that hears
and deter m ines equitably all
complaints, and this wise and ne
cessary regulation is adequate to
protect and preserve all private
and public inter,s SITS against rail
road abuses OF every kind.
1t was a good thing for Miss
issippi, and particularly for this
part OF the State, that passenger
rate reduction failed in the legis
lature.

As an indication to what an
extreme the resort to-intimida

the "night riders. Let them
come to Mississippi; there's plen-
