The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1911-03-04

The spartanburg Journal is right
in its prediction that the country will
not be satisfied, with the method by
which the senate defeated the direct
election of senators. 1t was done by
putting on, an amendment which 1t
was known would cost the measure
enough votes to defeat it. The Sen
ate will rectify the wrong when the
new Democrats are sworn in.

Senator Root, in his speech in the
Lorimer scandal, challenged the
Senator's to deny that in their hearts

basis fer seat in the Senate" That
was q poser.

The Buffalo, N. Y, Enquirer, in
speaking; of the Lorimer scandal,

can senator's say should be turned
out?"

The Journal says -four old vet
erans, ". H. Kerr, magistrate at
Greenwood; James Rogers, magis-
trate at Ninety Six; W. w. Purdy,
magistrate at Verdery; W. P. Der-
lin, magistrate at Bradley, have been
removed, not because of Incompetent
cy or malfeasance in office, but SIM
ply for the reason, we suppose, that
they did not vote for Mr.. Blease. y
Surely the Journal must be mistaken.
Has not Mr.. Blease always professed
great love and admiration for the old
Confederate veterans?

Walter T. Reckling, young man
of Columbia, appeared before Judge
Copes and asked for an annulment of
a marriage he had entered into with
Alma Williams, on the ground that
he was intoxicated at the time of the
marriage and that the woman took
advantage of his condition. Such
cases rs this are becoming too COM

to put stop to them.
