Blease as a vulture, is offensive to the
sense Of decency and fairness"
And an article from the Macon, Ga.
Telegraph, of September 25, 1910:
There Is a citizen over In South
Carolina by the name of Blease, who
has done a remarkable thing. The
readers of almost any South Carolina
newspaper a week or two ago would
have found good reason for the belief
that Bease was everything that was
bad or undesirable, to say the least;
that in expressing a desire to become
governor he had shown unpardona-
BILE presumption; that his candidacy
was a fit subject for jest, and that he
had not the ghost Of chance. The
Charleston News and Courier contemp-
tuously reported the fact that only
three newspapers In the whole state
had ventured to endorse the candidacy
of Mr. Blease. All the dailies, large
and small, the religious papers, nom
descript and what not, thundered at
Blease continually. Moreover he was
bombarded from the pulpit. :"
New Orleans.
And an article from the New Or
leans Picayune Of September IA, 1910:
1.-The vote today hinged very large
ly on the personality Of the two can
didates for governor. In the interval
between the two primaries the press
Of the state made a strenuous fight
upon Blease, attacking his record as a

PERFUME MAKING.
II Is an Old Art and Sometimes Very
Extensive

II Is an Old Art and Sometimes Very
Expensive.
How many women as they take up
from their dressing tables the dainty
cut glass bottles of their favorite per-
fume ever give a thought to the many
intricate and interesting processes that
have to be gone through in order to
provide them with these delightful
scents? Possibly only few have ever
heard of Grasse, the quaint old town
in the Maritime Alps, which is the CEN
ire of the poetic industry of scent maxi
ing, and from whence are exported to
the four corners of the earth the raw
materials and essences used by manu-
facturers of perfumery and pomades.
Secrets of extracting the perfume of
flowers and preserving it was known to
the people in the south of France over
500 years ago, and the industry has
now grown to such an extent that
whole districts are devoted to the cul-
tivation of flowers for perfume. To
give some idea of the vastness of the
business it need only be mentioned that
the amount Of rose leaves handled in
a month reaches the amazing total of
a quarter of a million pounds, and al
most a similar weight of the petals OF
orange flowers, tuberoSe, Jonqull ana
violet are also used.
All these leaves are picked by hand
into baskets, divided and sorted at the
factory before being taken to the dis
tillery to undergo the process known
as maceration, by which the perfume
is first absorbed by grease and then
transferred to alcohol.
This process of maceratiOn consists
of sleeping the flowers in heated fat,
where they are left until all their
strength is extracted, after which they
are drained i'm wooden trays and later
subjected to hydraulic pressure. The
fat which has absorbed the essence OF
the flowers has now become pomade,
and is sent in this form to perfumers
all over the world, who by means OF
alcohol extract its sweetness. After
being robbed of it's perfume the POM
ade is finally made into cakes of soap.
The most expensive perfume is, of
course, altar of roses, and 1t requires
no less than forty eight pounds of rose
leaves to make one gram of oil.
During the towering months of April,
May, June and July the fields around
Grasse are literally alive with sunny
faced men, women and children gath
ering the fragrant harvest.
1t may be interesting to mention that
the basis of all perfumes consists Of
eight flowers-the rose, orange bios
som, violet, jonquil, mignonette, jas
mine. tuberOse and cassia, and al
though nearly all other flowers and
also scented woods, herbs. iris root and
lavender-are pressed into service they
merely act as useful assistants.-De-

Beneath the brim of her dainty hat,
with veil thrown back, Betty's dark
hair waved back, glossy with the sheen
of perfect we'll being, from a face Sc

that shone into Mats danced with the
light of enjoyment, bred of his supreme
astonishment

Believe what. Nat?" she asked
quickly.
That you're the same little Betty

It's change for the better, isn't it,
Nat?" she asked. with a smile half
wistful.
II should think it was. It's just
marvellous"
Did l seem so very awful, them"
Nonsense. You know YOU didn't,

Then you think father will be

touched by his interest and his feel

proud, Nat?"

HThe Menace"

1T is a good subject at this parti-
cular time, and its Importance has been
driven home.
THE people of South Carolina are
menaced.
"The menace is unfair newspaper
methods.
THE Columbia State of Thursday
carries on it's first page a cartoon Of
Mr.. Cole L. Blease, over the label,
The Menace
"The Columbia State knew at the
time the cartoon was published that 1t
was as unfair as 1t was false. The
Columbia State knew when the car
toon was designed that it was mis-
leading and false. The Columbia State
knew that the publication of the car
toon had for it's object the misleading
Of the voters of South Carolina, and
was. therefore, maliciously false, and
was a malicious slander Of man who
led all the rest Of the candidates and
received 30 per cent of the votes of the
state. Is that not an intentional and
gross insult to third Of the voters
of this state?
His side will have no showing in
the Columbia State. No reply will be
allowed.

What's the matter?"
Nothing" Nat shouted ferociously.
Anything I kin
No"
At that instant Kellogg appeared.
Hello, Nat! What's been keeping
you? l came down to bring you home

Keep away from me! Don't talk to
me- don't want anything to do with
you, d. you understand? You and your
confounded systems have got me into
all this
He caught sight of his hat abruptly,
ceased talking, grabbed the hat and
jammed it on his head, muttering, then
started on run for the door.
But what's the matter?' demanded
Kellogg. thunderstruck. Here! Hold
on, Where are you going?"

l have been advocating these princi-
pies for years in the house, in the SEN
ate and on the stump in my home
county and throughout the state, and
have stood squarely upon them out In
the open and never waited to see
which would be the popular side be-
fore taking a stand. Even when some
of them were very unpopular and 1t
seemed that any man who dared ao-
vocate them was doomed to political
oblivion / stood by them and made
the fight to keep them up and begged
the people not to be deceived, but TO
hear me for my cause, and now we
see some men and newspapers who
did not stand for them, or who, II they
did, were afraid to acknowledge 1t,
endeayoring to claim the credit OF
leading in the fight. We are glad to
have their help, even though 1t comes
at so late a day and is possibly hypo-
critical.
And now, in conclusion, pray Gods
direction for each and every one OF
you, and that you may do your full
duty, conscientiously, and to the best
interests Of the entire people OF your
state. And as for myself, I pray God
that he may so guide and direct me
in the discharge of my duties that l
may be fair and impartial to all OF the
citizens of my state, both black ana
white, and that He may so direct me
that during my term Of office His Will,
and not mine, shall be done.

COCK FIGHTING IN MEXICO.
It Still Exists, But Glory Of the Game
Is Gone Forever.

It Still Exists, But Glory Of the Game
Is Gone Forever.
The ancient inhabitants Of Mexico
were ever fond Of sports Of all kinds,
and in the days before the coming Of
the white man to the shores of America
they indulged in a sort Of pelota game,
in aquatic contests, races, wrestling
matches and military exercises of va
rious kinds. They also hold endurance
races, much after the manner of the
modern Marathon races. All these
were purely athletic.
But they also had many games of
chance and skill and certain pastimes,
such as fighting coyotes and other wild
animals. There is no doubt that these
tendencies of the AZtecs and other ma
tive races made them take kindly to
the bullfight and the cockfight.
The latter especially, owing to its in
expensive nature, early became a fa-
vorite pastime of the lower classes, and
later on taken up by the better people.
Soon every one who was able, and
most people were, had one or more
fighting cocks.
Every Sunday and every feast day
there were literally thousands of places
throughout Mexico where the populace
or a goodly part Of the men spent the
afternoons at the side of the cockpit.
1t was no uncommon thing for some
we'll to- do gentleman to go to the scene
of the contests accompanied by half a
dozen or more servants, each with a
bird under each arm. In those days
the true devotee Of the sport prided
himself on his knowledge of the fight
ing qualities of the birds, and he be-
lieved that he was able in most cases
to pick the winner on sight. Then, too,
there were strains and families of birds
known throughout Mexico as well and
as favorably as the finest blood horses
are now known throughout the United
States, Canada and all the sporting
countries Of Europe. Some Of these
birds brought very high prices. Some
times a rich gentleman risked as much
as 100000 in one day on various cock
fighting contests.
In years past the great cockfghts
were held during the month of De-
cember in connection with the festival
at Guadalupe. Then this sport We'd
with that of gambling for popular fa-
vor. Of the thousands upon thou
sands of pilgrims who visited the
shrine the greater number of the men
brought with them one or more fighting
birds each, and some Of the poems and
lower middle classes from interior
points brought many birds to sell at
the villa. These were carried in great
wicker cages upon the heads of the
owners or in OK carts; often the jour-
ney to the villa took from one to three
weeks.
In those days the cities and towns
swarmed with professional gamblers
who made a living at the side of the
cockpit. They were men who had spent
all their active lives in the sport, and
they had learned, almost instinctively,
as it were, to judge of the merits of
the birds as soon as they appeared at
the pitside Profting by this exper-
ience they were able to gain the major
ity of bets that they made and thus to
make a good living out Of the sport
