FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1911.

always commanded the respect Of the
opposition and since his elevation to
the bench more than a decade ago no
taint Of partisanship has attached it
self to any of his actions. He has de-
voted himself so assiduously to his ju-
dicial work, indeed. that the intima-
tion that he might leave the bench for
the purpose of becoming candidate
for governor was not credited when
first given. But although as a judge
he has steered clear Of politics he is
possessed nevertheless, as those who
know him well appreciate, Of the gifts
of leadership and Of exceptional polit-
ical sagacity. He is not an orator, but
he knows how to speak the Kings
English in a manner which will be un-
derstood of the people and he may
be counted upon to rally the elements
to whom his candidacy will be address,
ed. Moreover, he cannot be bullied nor
is any one likely to attempt such a
thing.

Two aviators started this week FOL
a fly across the continent in an effort
to win a prize of $4,000 offered by W.
r. Hearst to the first bird man to sue
cessfully make the trip. Bob Fowler
left San Francisco on Monday for New
York, but soon met with an accident
in the pulling out Of one Of the wires
connected with his steering gear. The
damage was repaired; but not satisfac-
tory and on Tuesday while trying to
make a landing in order to get things
straight, he crashed against two trees,
broke his machine badly and fell to
the ground, sustaining some injury,
Because of the accident he was delayed
for two days. James ]. Ward started
out from Governors Island In New
York harbor on Wednesday morning,
bearing a letter from Gen. Frederick ID.
Grant to the commander of the depart
ment of the Pacific. The. start was
made under fine conditions, but be-
cause of contrary winds, and losing his
way in a network Of railroad tracks,
the aviator was able to make only forty
miles headway, landing near Paterson,
N. j., in the afternoon when he should
have been at Middletown, N. Y, 200
miles distant.

Why there are 80 few silos in til

Why there are 80 few silos in the
country is puzzle.
The fox hunters find that they have
a pretty fair crop Of foxes this year
and they are having some fine races.
The cotton crop is generally light
this year. That Is the common report
Corn generally is very good considering
the unfavorable weather.
The railroads passing through this
section have been carrying more pas
sengers than for good many years
past, and that Is as good sign OF
prosperity as one could wish to see.
The Enquirer is requested to state
that the reason why Supt. of Education
Swearingen was not at the Zion rally
recently was because he had been sub
poenaed by the attorney general as a
witness at the Richland court Of gen.
eral sessions.
It would be just as we'll to reduce
that extra two weeks that have been
added on the November term Of the
court to one week. The amount OF
work done does not nearly justify the
extra expense nor the taking away OF
the farmer jurors from their business
at such time.
All dairying needs is to get fair
start. A number Of energetic and prog
ressive farmers have done good pion-
eer work; but have had to give up for
first one reason and then another. But
conditions are now far more favorable
in this immediate section than they
have ever been.

STRAIGHT CREAMERY TALK.

Mr.. o. E. wilkins, treasurer Of the
Creamery association, has prepared the
following circular letter that he will
send out to patrons on September 20,
along with their checks for butterfat:
I'VE are glad to report that the but
ter market has improved along with q
better demand, and the directors feel
justified in making the price at least %
cents for the September receipts OF
butterfat. They hope too, that condi-
tions will justify an additional ad-
vance at an early date. -
I'VE find that the 1000 pounds Of
butter made in August cost, including
all expenses, expressage, average"
ETC., 4 cents per pound. With 5000
pounds receipts 1t would cost only a
cents a pound.
ION the other hand if receipts drop
to 5000 pounds the cost will be cents,
and with receipts Of $500 pounds the
cost will be 6 cents.
You can readily see from the above
how important it Is to have large re-
ceipts, not only for the well-being Of
the creamery, but in order that the pa
irons may get better price for their
product
THE Creamery association is in bet
ter condition. The proposition, how
ever, is absolutely up to you farmers
and cow men. You can make the
creamery a grand success If you will.
The farmers make them go in Illinois.
Have they any better men than we
have in York county?
I'VE learn that several patrons Of the
creamery are keeping quite a lot Of
their cream at home and churning 1t.
We are candid enough to say that we
do not believe this to be good policy.
This very much lowers the receipts
and persons doing this no doubt keep
out much more than they really need
to use, and in the end it Is costing more
than to send all their product to the
creamery and buying back just what
they need.
"As we have urged before, we hope
you will increase the number and quail
ity of your cows.
Mr.. Clement, the butter maker. will
gladly make tests free of charge, for
any patron who is desirous Of know
ing what his individual cows are do
ing"

All the successful politicians under
stand the hopelessness of a politica
campaign in which there is no organi-
zation. Men have been elected to higf
office without a strong organization be-
hind them; but it has only been in eX-
ceptional cases. Just as victory in bat
tie is usually partial to the side hav-
ing the heaviest artillery, so also is
victory in a political fight usually par
tial to the side having the most eff
cient organization. Successful politi'
clans are accustomed to laugh in theil
unless that opposition is well organ
lied.

If the general assembly at its next
session will pass by a two-thirds ma
jority a bill making the possession OF
a registration certificate a prerequisite
to the right of enrolment in a Demo
cratic club and to voting in a Dema-
cratic primary, its action will go long
way toward purifying South Carolina
politics. But, of course, it is very vel
understood that a two-thirds majority
will be necessary for the enactment ot
such a proposition into law.

IErorn the Eloranca Tirnesl

When a man like Chief Justice Ira
B. Jones leaves the supreme bench Of
the state to run for governor, and we
cannot see any other reason for the
resignation, the governor has no con-
troll over him, and he seems to have a
good deal over the governor, there is
certainly enough at stake in the state
for the voters to stop and think seri-
ously of the matter. This Is no holi-
day occasion. It Is a great crisis In
the affairs of the state in the opinion
Of the man occupying a position above
even that Of the governor. That would
prompt a man like Ira B. Jones to leave
the supreme bench, and he steps down
that no man may be able to say that
the seeker after the official gown Of the
executive is inspired by desire to hold
an office. We think that, If we have
read the matter rightly, no other can
didate should offer himself for the
place, but let the fight be square and
a fair one between Bleaseism and what
many of us regard as the essential Of
good government.

CANDIDACY OF JUDGE JONES.
What the Papers Are Saying About
Recent Political Development.
(From the Spartanburp Journal. !

(From the Spartanburg Journal.)
If Chief Justice Jones, who has re-
signed, shall run for governor against
Blease next year and nobody else runs,
there ought not to be any doubt Of
Joness election. He Is an infinitely
better man than Blease and without a
confusion Of issues, such as existed last
year, there would be no excuse what
ever for the majority Of South Caro-
lima voters choosing Blease In prefer
ence to him.
(From the Anderson Daily Mail.)
The announcement that Chief Justice
Jones has determined to resign from
the bench with the avowed purpose of
opposing Governor Blease in the pri-
maries next summer will be received
with great deal Of interest.
Mr.. Jones Is one Of the best men In
the state. His ability has long been
recognized, and his record, on the bench
and in private life, is clean. 1t Is un-
derstood, moreover, that he Is an effec-
tive campaigner.
Mr. Jones is giving up what Is in
the opinion Of many the highest Office
In the state in order to run for the
governorship, and this will relieve him
Of the charge Of mere office seeking,
which might be made against some
others.
1t seems to us that Mr.. Jones is the
man upon whom all the opponents of
Blease and Bleaseism may unite-and
elect.
At any rate 1t will be conceded that
he has gone about the matter in the
right way-he has filed his resignation
as chief justice before announcing his
candidacy for governor.

Chief Justice Jones has announced
his resignation from the bench, and in
a signed statement declares his inten-

his Charleston interview Governor
Blease practically challenged Judge
Jones to resign his position and dared
him to enter the contest for the gov
ernorship. Gov. Blease also boasted
that he could beat any man who might
enter the race against him. Judge
Jones being one of those specifically
named. Judge Jones acts as If he in
tends to force Governor Blease to prove
his boasted political invincibility, and a
red hot political scrap Is on the cards
for next summer. There may be-

the race, for II rumors count for any
