BY Justin Hunfty M CaThy
The scene is laid in Ireland
in the year 1859, the year Of
the BOyne battle. The time IS
brilliant one. Irish soldiers
OF fortune with delightful names
did splendid deeds against des-
per7,e odds, and fair Jacobite
ladies moved graciOusly through
the glitter Of a transient court
at Dublin. Flynn O'Flynn IS
one Of these soldiers of fortune
who returns from the foreign
wars to an impoverished estate
and a ruined dwelling known
to the countryside as Castle
Famine. His love for the
beautiful Lady Bensdetta
Mountmichael is the main theme
Of the story.

RO Pey RS,cb

Most of us know Rex Beach
only as a writer Of splendid
stirring stories Of outdoor life.
Here we have him as the author
of one of the very funniest
stories ever written. IL is roll
licking, gallOPing, scintillating,
sparkling fun from beginning
to end-and Withal clean and
sweet as a girls fresh laughter.
The story is all about house
party of jolly young people on
a Western ranch. Trouble
arises from the fact that the
hero has led his friends to be-
lieve he is an athlete, when, as
a matter of fact, he never did
anything more athletic than
lead the cheering for others.
IF you mind slang keep away!

The
Wild Olive

By tie Aathor of "The Inner
Strine'
Not only praise has greeted
the coming of "The Wild
Olive" but the verdict, remark
able in itself, that the new novel
is better than "The Inner
Shrine" The Chicago Journal,
in a column-long review, May
81, two days after the book was
published, says: "'The Wild
Olive is so much more inter-
esting than the earlier book, that
this reviewer is now inclined to
ascribe to the unknown author
those qualities that only the
most ardent Partisans of that
writer insisted on as character
istic Of the first novel. The
Wild Olive has a broader basis
of plot, a finer conception Of
character and a higher idealism
than was apparent in The Inner
Shrine II is a really remark
able novel. 80

SILVER STREET.

We ha6 the pleasure few days ago
of spending a couple of hours in Sill
yer Street. We have passed through
this town very frequently but have not
had the pleasure of stopping there in
several years. The town now has
some five or six modern, up-to-date
and progressive merchants and they
are all doing good business. The Lu-
therans have recently built a very
neat church edifce. A good school is
maintained in the community and ev-
erything around the place bears the
evidence of prosperity.
We were told that this was now a
very large distributing point not only
for the section Immediately around
Silver Street in Newberry county, but
also for a large number of the people
of Saluda county.
The crops in that section of the
county are loking we'll though we
were told that the red spider had done
considerable damage to the cotton.
The following are the merchants
who are now doing business at Silver
Street: B. NJ. Havird, W. V. Bledsoe,
Lake & Swindler, Jno. P. Long, the
Saluda Supply Co., managed by J. T.
Coleman and Sheppard and Perry.
There is a movement on foot to es-
tablish bank.
Several of the merchants will buy
cotton during the fall, so that regu-
lar cotton market will be established

The Indian had a way of sending

his rings by covering the little fire

The State campaign which closed
at Newberry last Saturday was one Of
the cleanest that has been held in
South Carolina in a good many years.
There was, comparatively speaking,
no mud singing, and particularly in
the race for governor was the cam
paign pitched on a high plane. We
trust that the same policy will be pur-
sued during the second part of the
campaign and that the people will cast
their ballots according to the dictates
Of their best. judgment and that none
Of the newspapers nor the friends of
any of the candidates will indulge in
any personal attacks nor endeavor to
arouse any prejudices.
Mr.. Blease, who leads in the first
primary, is local optionist on the Ii
quor question, while Mr.. Featherstone
is an advocate for Statewide prohibi-
tion. Both of these are able men, sue
cessful lawyers and have built them
selves up by virtue of their own la
bors and own ability.
Let US have clean campaign SO that
when it is over there may be no ugly
wounds to be healed.

VOTE FOB HAMPTON.

The race for railroad commissioner
in the second primary is between Can
sler, of Tirzah, and aIcDuffe HamD-
ton, of Columbia. If the people of
South Carolina desire to put man in
this position who has some Of the
qualifications at least to make an ef-
fcient officer and to discharge the du-
ties of the office, they should elect
Hampton. If, on the other hand, they
want to pension some one they should
elect Cansler.
The people of Newberry in several
elections for this position have given
the majority to Cansler. This no
doubt was done as a compliment to
Mr.. Cansler, but in the second race
the votes should go to McDuffe Hamp-
ton. We have no personal ipGerest in
this race and in fact never met Mr..
Hampton until the campaign meeting
in Newberry, but the Office of railroad
commissioner is an important one and
should be filed by a man who has
some fitness for the position.

Friday, September 2, 1910.
Mr.. BLEASE FOR GOVERNOR.

Mayor Blease's friends in Newberry,
as elsewhere throughout the State, are
delighted with the magnificent vote
which he received in the first primary
on Tuesday, and are confidently eX-
pecting him to win by large majority
in the second primary.
With about 95 per cent of the total
vote of the State heard from, he is
several thousand ahead of Mr. Feath-
erstona, his nearest opponent, and he
and Mr.. Featherstone will make the
second race.
The heavy vote received by Mr..
Blease Oh Tuesday was not confined to
any section, but was general through
out the State. Starting out with a
handsome majority in his home coun-
ty Of Newberry, and leading in the
surrounding counties of Laurens, Sa-
luda, Lexington, Union and Fairfield,
he received the fattering endorse
ment of his fellow-citizens of South
Carolina without regard to geographi-
cal lines or to vocations in life.
Mayor Blease has been consistent
in the positions which be has taken
in politics. He is today a local op-
zionist on the whiskey question, and
we believe the great majority of the
people of South Carolina are today in
favor of local option-letting the pres
ent law alone-because we believe
they are tired of the liquor agitation,
and are convinced that the, interests
of temperance Will best be subserved
by local option. But it was 1ol on the
liquor question that the ueop.e gave
Mr.. Blease the lead in the first race
They recognized his ability, and they
want good, economical, business ad-
ministration, without extravaganza on
the one hand or penury on the other
With his lead in the first race, Mr.
Blease goes into the second race with
every prospect of his being the next
governor of South Carolina. He has
made clean campaign, and will con-
tinue to do so, and he will make a good
governor. He has been signally honor
ed by his home people, and has served
them with ability and credit to himself
and to them in the numerous positions
which he has filed. That he has the
confidence Of the people among whom
he has spent his life is shown by his
election as mayor of the city last fall,
and by the vote which Newberry coun-
ty gave him on Tuesday.
