tor John L. McLaurin's name during
the last few months has been connect
ed with a number Of offices, and from
many points In the state, particu-
larly in the Pee Dee section, he has re-
ceived requests to enter politics again.
Senator McLaurin at this time has
large farming interests In Marlboro
county, and Is devoting his time to his
private affairs, and to only these Ques-
tions which have some bearing upon
the industrial condition Of the state.
Today Mr.. McLaurin said In regard
to these rumors: II am more deeply
interested in the industrial develop
ment Of the state than am in poll
tics. When began the agitation for
the warehouse bill, i stated that ]
would never be a candidate to crafty
my personal ambition or to promote
my selfish interests. adhere now to
that declaration, as much as I ap-
preciate the evident desire on the part
of my friends to reward and honor me,
l think we had best drop this subject.
Personally, prefer to go on doing
what can as private citizen to bet
ter the moral and financial welfare Of
our people. I believe I can do more
good right at home than anywhere
else. l know what 1t is to hold Office
and become an object Of envy and sus-
picion, and, frankly, nothing but q
keen sense of public duty could induce
me to abandon the life am living.
There may be some developments
in connection with putting into opera
ton the warehouse bill where my SER
vices would be Of value to the cotton
planters of the entire south. and l am
ready to assume any duty in promo
ton Of the success Of this, whether 1t
benefits me personally or not.-Ben-

There were no mails over the rural
routes yesterday, the day being a legal
holiday-Federal decoration day.
The canvass by county candidates
does not usually commence until about
two weeks before the primary election.
People who do not like to work, but
who enjoy seeing 1t done, will find
pleasure in visit to the country just
now.
There has been no definite announce
ment yet Of the schedule of the forth
looming county to county campaign,
but the understanding is that 1t will
probably open at Sumter about the
middle of June.
"If you give a crop its proper num-
ber of workings at the right time, and
have fairly good seasons, you are al
most sure to get there" said sue
cessful farmer to the writer few days
ago. Most York county farmers un-
derstand this fact thoroughly, as Is ev-
idenced all around.
There has been a suggestion looking
to the establishment OF gas-electric
service over the Southern railroad be-
tween Blacksburg and Rock Hill. Two
cars could be used to supplement the
much to the increased convenience of
the public, and 1t Is probable that the
service could be made to pay. we be-
lieve it would pay from the jump.
Tho writer met a gentleman from
Hickory Grove the other day, who was
complaining how distressingly dull 1t
was around that place. Our friend
should take encouragement, If indeed
there Is any encouragement to be
.,und in the fact that 1t Is distressing
lily 1ull all around. 1t could not well be
other vi ise when the farmers are all
busy digging.
The country around Yorkville is
making a record at butter production;
but 1t is rather disappointing that
there Is no more progress to be report
ed in the direction of the upbuilding
of dairy herds. Some Of the farmers
are doing something along this line;
but we have no information Of any
marked advance sufficiently conspicu-
GUS to be worthy Of especial mention.
This herd improvement must come If
butter fat production Is to be a per-
manent success.

The Sumter Item, which hits the nail
squarely on the head about as often
as any ether newspaper that devotes
itself mainly to seeking after truth, is
right when it shows up the emptiness
of the so-called "Bleaseism" issue. At
least we agree with the Item most
heartily in it's position. If the reader
will assume that we consider ourselves
in the position of any other individual
who has never asked of governor or
anybody else a personal favor that
could be granted only in an official ca
pacity. he will be able to appreciate
more fully the significance of the OBJ
servations we are about to make. If
the issue be purely personal, wherein
will it make any difference whether the
pardoning power he exercised by
Blease or Jones? In the one case par
dons will be granted at the instance of
the friends of Mr.. Blease and In the
other at the instance of friends of Mr..
Jones and that is about all. To be sure
there is a difference in being a Jones
man or BleaSe man, according to the
viewpoint of one or the other; but the
individual who stands solely on his
right as a citizen of South Carolina,
under the constitution and laws of the
state. cannot have a very high opinion
of an individual who is content to be
anybodys man. 1t is true that Bieass's
pardon record has been tremendously
emphasized and we would not like to
be called upon to defend t-certainly
not with the information we have But
what about the pardon records of 9TH
er governors? Hayward had a sickly,

Mayor Grace.-Mayor John p. Grace
Of Charleston, is an interesting study.
He Is an interesting figure In politics.
The up-country man cannot take his
measure. We do not understand him.
We do not understand, as for that
matter, the political psychology Of
those who oppose him in Charleston.
We do not understand conditions that
have wrought out the Charleston pc
litical situation. All the sayIe, May
or Grace is an interesting study, po-
litically and In other ways. To one on
the outside, who has seen Mayor Grace
first in his lone fight against Mayor
Rhett four years ago and again In his
futile effort to brace up and push
through an illegal and unfair delega-
ton to the state convention, IL appears
that there Is something underneath
this political feud. Is 1t social? So
cial In sense known only to Charles
ton, that is in these broadly demo-
cratic days, and does that rankle in
his bosom or has II ranked so that II
makes him fight so viciously?
There is something back Of this po-
litical fight. Politics never makes one
so vicious, that is local politics, in this
part of the state. But we do not un-
derstand Charleston.
Mayor Grace Is evidently an admir-
er of Napoleon Bonaparte. He refers
to Napoleon In almost every public
address. When sitting he drops into
attitudes said to have been favorite
ones with the great Corsican. Ma
poleon found the crown Of France ly-
ing on the ground and picked 1t up
with the point of his sword, but May
or Grace cannot say the same Of the
mayoralty of Charleston
Now that he has It, can he hold 1t?
He is an interesting study, this May
or Grace-Greenwood Index.

A Bennettsville correspondent of the

A Bennettsville correspondent of the
Columbia State remarks the preva-
lence Of a sentiment throughout the
Sixth district to induce Hon. John l..
McLaurin to enter the race for con-
ress, and expresses the hope that
there will speedily develop sufficient
pressure to compel a favorable deci-
sion. This is the first suggestion we
have seen in this particular connec-
tion, and we are not pleased with it.
While there is no question in our view
that Mr.. McLaurin Is the ablest man
for the place in the Sixth district, and
while he would surely enter the race
If he felt there was a demand for his
services, we have a pretty well ground
ed belief that the state has more need
of him elsewhere. We have in mind
the house of representatives. There
has been a woeful lack Of real states
manship in the legislature for many
years, and there is need there for
brains and ability capable of originat-
ing and promoting constructive legis-
lation that will lift politics above the
petty personal selfishness that has been
prevailing so long. The Hon. John L.
McLaurin Is the very man for such an
undertaking, and he would be worth
more to the house just now than al
most any other public man in the state
that we know of would be worth any
where.

OF course it will depend upon the
decision of the supreme court as to
whether it will be worth while to take
any further immediate steps in the de-
velopment of the state warehouse
plans, but if the supreme court decides
the act to be constitutional, then it
will be in order to follow out the sug-
gestion Of Mr. Whittam, the British
expert, to send a man to Europe to look
into matters and gather facts. When
that question comes up, If it does, there
will naturally be a great many people
wanting to go, and there is danger
that strife along this line may do more
harm than good. If anyone Is to be
sent, he should be a man Of large af-
fairs, large views, political experience
and social standing, thoroughly ac-
quainted with every detail of cotton
production. manufacture and specula-
ton, and it is very doubtful as to
whether in all America there is a man
who comes nearer measuring up to
these specifications than the Hon. John
l.. McLaurin of BennettSville. Mr..
McLaurin is not only one of the larg-
est cotton producers in the state; but
he has practical training in all the
various matters that enter into the
problem in hand If he should go to
Europe on such a mission as Is sug-
gested, he would bring back all the in
formation necessary for the great plans
in view.

Aull, superintendent af education,
who Is filling the unexoired term Of
Mr.. ]. s. Wheeler, resigned, under the
appointment Of Governor Blease, Is

O'Neall Holloway. Colonel Aull Is a
personal and political friend Of the
governor. For county auditor Mr..
Eugene s. Werts, the incumbent, Is
opposed by Mr.. Jas. B. Halfacre. A
public expression as to their stand on
state politics has not yet been made.
County Treasurer Jno. L. Epps and
Master H. H. Rikard are unopposed
for reelection thus far. For super
visor, there are three candidates
Messers. L I. Feagle, incumbent; ].
Monroe Wicker and w. A. Hill. There
are several candidates for coroner and
other smaller county Offices. While
several Of the candidates have not yet
stated their position in regard to the
gubernatorial race, II is said that each
and every one, regardless Of the office
to which he aspires will be called up
on to declare himself.
After remaining out Of the room
only five minutes, the jury In the case
Of H. II. Evans, tried in the Richland
court Wednesday, for accepting bribe
Of $50 from M. A. Goodman, q liquor
drummer. returned a verdict Of not
guilty. The prosecution was conduct
ed by Attorney General Lyon, w. F..
Stevenson and Solicitor w. H. Cobb.
and the defense was represented by
Eugene s. Blease Of Newberry and
Robert II. Welsh of Newberry. There
was but little trouble securing q jury.
The state objected to three Of the
talesmen drawn and the defense OBJ
jected to four Of them. The state be-
gan by proving that Evans was q duly
commissioned member of the dispen-
sary board during 1902, and then intro
duced three letters written by Evans
In March and May of that year to
Goodman. All the letters related to
purchases by the board Of control, and
generally were in the nature of ex-
plantations to Goodman why Goodman's
house had not gotten large orders for
goods at meetings Of the board just
held. The letters were full of friend
ship for Goodman and carried promise
Of liberal orders when the situation be-
came favorable. One of the letters ac-
knowledged the receipt from Goodman
of three checks, one for $3.50, and two
others for $50 each. In a postscript to
one of the letters the writer said he
was "out of coffee and Goshen butter"
The defense did not offer any testi-
mony; but allowed the jury to take
the case as presented by the state.

We are reproducing elsewhere In
today's paper the article from Common
Sense, Mayor Grace's paper, carrying
a letter from Mayor Grace to Cover
nor Blease and certain comments
thereon solely because 1t Is Of sufficient
importance to demand extensive circu-
lation. 1t Is not up to us to endorse
or deny the implied charge that Gov
ernor Blease Is receiving pay from
Charleston liquor interests in considera-
tion of their being allowed to do pref
ty much as they please. We know alb
solutely nothing Of the facts, and we
are without information that would
warrant us in siding with Mayor Grace
against Governor Blease, or with Gov
ernor Blease against Mayor Grace.
That these two politicians were at one
time friends and that they have fallen
out there seems to be no reason TO
doubt; but as to the cause Of the quar-
rel or as to which is right or whether
both are wrong, we do not know. But
we will remark this: That the charge
that Common Sense makes Is an ex-
ceedingly grave one. al,u that 1t should
not make such a charge without fur
nishing the proof.
