MAINE MOURNS
SENATOR FRYE.
For Almost a Lifetime He Had
Served az Statesman From the
New England state at
Washington.
HIS DEATH WAS SUDDEN
General Breakdown Due to Old Age
and His Busy Career, Was
the Cause Of His
Death.

LEWISTON, Me-, Aug. 9.-The state
of Maine lost its senior United States
senator and an almost lifelong faithful
servant when William Pierce Frye
died at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Helen White.
At his bedside we're Mrs. White and
his other daughter, Mrs. Alice Briggs,
who also resides in Lewiston. AL
though he had been i'll for a long
time, death came suddenly.
Forced by the condition OF his
health to resign his position as presi-
dent pro tempore of the senate at
the beginning of the present special
session of congress, although he re-
tained his membership In the senate,
Senator Frye soon afterward made
his last journey to the city which al
ways had been his home.
For several weeks his condition was
4 not considered necessarily dangerous
Up to last week he rested in com
parative comfort, spending much Of
his time in reading, or In having
some member of his family read te
him.
Last week the senator's illness tool
i serious turn, but again he rallied
and this week his physicians express
ed the hope he might recover. Al
late as 3:15 in the afternoon he ap
peared to be in comfortable condi
4 ton. Shortly afterward it was seel
he was sinking rapidly and at S::5
o'clock he died.
Il A general breakdown due to ag
and his extremely arduous career /

THE CONVICTIONS CAN BE HAD.

The Illicit sale of liquor in this
county can be stopped easily if
the people in the disturbed Sec
tions will, as good citizens, in
terest themselves to bring the
deiers of law before the proper
authorities. It requires a whole.
some local sentiment to prevent
lawlessness. It is reported that
in certain sections of the county
there are men engaged in the
traffic who are presuming on the
action of the last court, expect
jng that future juries will acquit
those charged, but to those we
will say they were never more
mistaken, and unless they hold
up defying the law, the work Of
bringing the offenders to justice
will not depend upon the class of
men who have heretofore been
engaged to furnish evidence, but
there will be a local sentiment
behind the prosecution, and when
this is the case convictions will
follow.
The men engaged in an unlaw-
ful pursuit in a community do
much harm and they should not
be tolerated, therefore we say it
is to the interest of those living
in a community where such a
condition exists to see to it that
it is stopped. We sincerely be-
lieve if the people themselves
will show a disposition to rid
themselves of lawlesness it can
be done more efectually than in
any other way; those communi-
ties which are opposed to this
sort of thing are free from such
an annoyance, all because the
lawlessly inclined know that the
community will not permit it to
be. If there is a man engaged
in an unlawful business in your
community go to him and tell
him he must stop in short order:
and then if he continues, have a
warrant issued for his arrest,
bring him before the court with
an unprejudiced proof, a proof
which will show it to have been
brought in the interest of law
and decency and we can almost
youch for convictions.

He PUT THEM OUT.

The State Dispensary Wind
ing-up Commission has received
the Executive boot, and. they are
discharged from Office. It would
be of interest to know why this
action was taken, especially since
the governor asked the legisla.
ture to provide for an investiga-
ton of their acts, and this in
vestigation has not been had for
the reason the signature of the
governor to the investigating
Act has not been affixed.
We have tried to uphold the
governor in his work as the Chief
Executive Of the State, but we
cannot endorse this action be-
cause it looks to US he has dis
missed men from Office with
out a hearing which they should
have been entitled to. If it was
rumor that prompted the gov.
ernor to ask the legislature to
provide for an investigation OF
the acts of the commission it does
seem to US as matter OF fairness
he should have waited until the
investigation was made.
Some of the members Of that
Commission are as high minded
men as there are in the State.
IF they have done wrong, we do
not believe they had any guilty
knowledge Of it.; we do not be-
lieve that John McSween or j.
Steele Brice are capable OF cor
ruption. The other members OF
the Commission we only know
from reputation, and these are
regarded by the people OF the
State as men of the highest char
acter, therefore we say; in sum
marily y discharging them without
a hearing is unfair to them and
to the people Of South Carolina.

IS THERE NO END?

Sundays morning newspapers
contained a sensational charge
against T. B. Fielder. one of the
attorneys employed by the at,
torney general to prosecute the
claims Of the State against the
whiskey houses that dealt with
the dispensary. The charge is
that Fielder attempted to frame
up'' a deal to organize syndicate
to swindle the State. Governor
Blease gave for publication what
purports to be a letter which it
IS alleged that Fielder wrote to
Il. Il. Evans, former chairman
of the dispensary board. It
looks as if the State is never
going to be rid of the complica-
tions which the dispensary
brought the State into, but
granting the letter purporting
to come from Fielder is genuine
and that he did just what the
letter implies, we cannot see how
ANYTHING can be done about it.
Fielder was not an officer OF the
State neither is he citizen, the
most that can come out oft is to
show that some Of those employed
to protect the States interests
were not clean handed them
selves.
So far as we are concerned,
we should like to see the whole
thing wiped out and forgotten.
There is this much certain, the
attorney general had a tremen-
dous task to perform, and has
succeeded in turning back to the
treasury a large sum Of money
which never would have been
put back had it not been for the
Conscientious and continuous
labor of that officer, a work he
accomplished over the best legal
talent the liquor concerns could
employ, and for his splendid
work be deserves the gratitude
of the taxpayers of the State.

right to appoint township com
miss1oners for Beaufort county
who were not recommended by

relating to magistrates also
makes it obligatory for appoint

AN UNEISE ACTION.

The Charleston Community
Club has sent a very severe let
ter to Governor Blease in which
they criticise him for vetoing the
Commission Act, and they use
language which in our opinion
will not help their cause IN the
least. If Governor Blease was
wrong in vetoing the Act, there
IS no sense in adding another
wrong; two wrongs do not make
a right. We are not IN tie con
fdence Of the promoters OF the
Commission Form Of Govern
ment for Charleston, but it looks
to us like a case of the outs fight
inc the ms, and politics is the
basis after all. But regardless
of what motives prompt the
Community Club" their on
slaught upon the governor fo1
exercising a right the constltu,
ton gives him, whether that
right is exercised wisely or not,
is not calculated to help the city
in winning friends to it's cause.
In our opinion, the men IN con:
troi of the commission movement
have gone a little too far; it Is
the extremists the conservatives
have to fear more than thelI
opponents.
There is no gainsaying it, Gov
ernor Blease has friends IN the
State and in the general assem-
bly, some of whom do not agree
with ali of his views and acts
but they will not stand by anc
permit him to be insulted, ever
by men who arrogate unto
themselves a monopoly Of civic
virtue. One Of the greatest trou
bles Charleston has had to con
tend with in the past, was the IN
discretion Of some Of it's citizens
We remember a famous utterance
of a Charlestonian when be swore
that Tillman should not be gov
ernor; this done the city ana M
cause harm; the conservative
men in his faction had to bea1
the blame for that indiscretlon
So it is with Blease today, hls
friends will not stand for Insult
and while they perhaps think he
might have signed the Commls
sion Act, if he is to be driven K
it tby insult from his enemies, they
will hold up his hands when h
refuses, by sustaining the veto
