MR.. BLEASE FOR GOVERNOR.

MR.. BLEASE FOR GOVERNOR.
Leading his competitor in the first
race in twenty-five of the forty-three
counties in South Carolina, his total
lead being 1859 votes, according to the
Official tabulation, Mr.. Blease's friends
are confidently expecting him to be
nominated on next Tuesday for COVER
nor of South Carolina.
The confidence which his home peo-
ple and his neighbors in surrounding
counties have in Mr.. Blease's ability
and fitness for the position is shown by
the vote in the various counties. In
Newberry, his home county, he receiV-
ed a handsome majority. In the ad-
Joining county Of Laurens, the home o.
Mr.. Featherstone, he led by a good
vote. He also leads all other candi-
dates in the surrounding counties of
Saluda, Lexington, Union and Fair

the people of each county are let alone
to solve the liquor question for them
selves, as under the present law, that
it will be solved all the quicker, and
the interests of temperance and So
briefly promoted. In this we believe
Mr.. Blease is correct. Prohibition

ready for it, where public sentiment is
against it, and where it will lead to
murder and other crimes, is itself 2
crime. On the other hand, where the
people of county are ready for proh1'
bition and want it, they ought to have
it, and where there is a healthy public
sentiment behind a prohibition law it
will be enforced. A STATE lie prohf-

agitation. The old wounds would bleed
afresh, and the State would again be
in that condition of strife and turmoil
out of which she is now happily pass

The principal plank in the platform
upon which Mr.. Blease has sought the
votes of the people of South Carolina
is an economical administration Of thu
State government. Putting the State
upon a sane, safe and solid business
basis is what he urges-equitable tax
alton and the cutting off Of useless
and extravagant appropriations, thus
reducing expenditures to the minimum
consistent with the best interests Of
the State and all her people.
There are other issues upon which
he has taken clear stand, as will be
seen by reading his platform IN this
paper.

and proved in the various positions OF
honor and trust which he has held. II

as We believe he will be, he will make
a good governor and will give The
State an able and business-like admin
istration, and he will be governor of
all the people.

LOCAL OPTION.

LOCAL OPTION.
The taking of a drink of whiskey or
beer or wine not being sin in itself,
there is no moral question inovlved In
prohibition, but the aim should be TO
seek such regulations or such laws
as will be in the interest of temper
ance and for tbs benefit of society. If
the forcing Of prohibition down the
throats Of community which is solid
against it will lead to murders and
other crimes of lesser degree, then pro-
hibition forced upon that community
is crime. We believe in temperance,
but We believe that temperance Gag be
secured only By first ipstilling into the
people proper conception Of the evils
of intemperance and not by forcing
upon a community a law which can
not be enforced and which will inevi-
tably, if it's enforcement should be at
tempted, lead to the highest crimes.
South Carolina today has only six
counties in which liquor is legally
sold. The others have either never
had legalized sale of liquor or have
abandoned it of their own accord. The
cause of temperance has been advan-
ced by local option and will continue
to be advanced if we leave the coun-
ties in control of their own affairs in
this regard.
For these reasons, we believe in To-
cal option in South Carolina at this
time-letting the present law alone,
and we believe this for the reason that
we are convinced that it is in the in
terest Of temperance and sobriety and
respect for law.
We can very we'll see how the lead
ers in the present Statewide prohibi-
ton movement could shave advocated
local option in the past as a step to-
wards prohibition and there is no in
consistency in that position. But we
can not see how they can consistently
charge now, they themselves in the
past having advocated local option as
a step towards prohibition, that the
local optionists of today are the eli
quor people" The great trouble with
the prohibition leaders is that some
times they go too far, in the enthus-
iasm of the moment.
The abuse of intoxicants is a great
evil and can not be too strongly con-
demned. How to minimize this evil is
question which ought to demand the
attention Of all good citizens. But
there is room for a difference of opin-
ion as to the best method. There is
no reason for those holding one par
ticular view to arrogate to themselves
all righteousness and all wisdom.
If every man honestly for temper
ance in all things would give every
other man honestly for temperance in
all things credit for purity Of motive
and honesty Of purpose in temperance
work the cause Of temperance would
be greatly advanced.

more judgment than to do so, because
no man makes votes by jumping from
one side to the other in frantic effort
to get on the popular side.

State will be thus best subserved.
