Tdnkawa Chieftain: In this Is

signed by the oklahoma City Cap
ltal Campaign Committee" but we
presume that was an oversight. The
Chieftan prints this ad just the
same as any other paid advertise
ing. (That is our principal business
selling advertising space when we
can.) We do not in any way in
dorse the statements in the ad. In
fact we think that oklahoma City
and Guthrie both are using mislead
ing and unfair arguments in the cap
ital controversy. The people are
not so much interested in what par
ticular set of town boosters profit by
the location of the capital as they
are in whether the state is going to
get a square deal. The people will
have the final say in this matter
and for that reason the Chfeftain is
willing to present the ad argument
of either or both OF these cities and
leave it up to the judgment of our
readers.

officers, have them on the school

other city offices. They are elected

News of Bachman Chapel.

Slighs, June 19.-In answer to a
request made by several Of the ladies
of the Missionary society Of Colony
Evangelical Lutheran church, Mr.. Edi-
tor, please allow me the privilege of
expressing some parting words of re-
membrance in behalf of the love and
respect which we hold in our mem
cries. The dear sister in mention was
faithful and devoted not only to mis-
sionary work, but to the entire work
of the church. On the 18th Of last
January God saw fit in his wise pro-
vidence to remove from earth the soul
of Mrs. Mary Griffin and unite it with
that upper and better world where
there are no sorrows and Affections.
She was in the 18th year of her age.
Sixty years of her life was spent as a
faithful member to Colony church. In
regard to her church life, it can be
truthfully said that only providential
hinderances caused her seat to be va
cant during service. She always
showed disposition of kindness, love,
patience, cheerfulness and benevo-
lence.
To the husband and daughter: To
know that she is free from worldly
cares and disappointments and is now
enjoying that eternal sweet rest should
comfort you.
DR.. A. J. Bowers, of Newberry, will
preach at Colony next Sunday morn
ing in absence of the pastor. You can
depend on hearing good sermon
when DR.. Bowers delivers it.
Rev. Shealy will begin as pastor for
the Beth Eden pastorate now shortly.
He is expected to preach at Colony on
the second Sunday in next month. He
doesn't come to Colony a stranger,
having preached as supply time or
so. We welcome him in our midst.
This begins to seem like real sum-
mer time weather, and the crops are

CHARLESTON AND THE BLIND
TIGERS.

Mavor Grace's testimony given pc
fore the investigating committee OF the
legislature seems to be directed
against the constables in Charleston.
We would Judge from the testimony
given by Mayor Grace that he is just a
little bit sore because he was not con-
suited about the appointments of the
constables. We hope, however, that
this has nothing to do with his willing
ness to testify before the committee In
regard to graft, which he claims has
been forced from liquor dealers.
Another phase of this question, it
seems to us, is that as mayor of Char
lesion, it would be proper for Mr..
Grace to state what efforts are being
made by the local authority to subdue
blind tigers, and whether they still re-
uuire each blind tiger to pay fegu-
lar monthly stipend into the city treas
ury to secure immunity, which it was
claimed was observed a few years ago.
One of the witnesses in this inves-
tigation testified something like this:
"That somebody told him that some
body else told him that he had heard
somebody say something" That is very
competent testimony.
Any one who has been to Charles
ton does not need to be told that Whis-
key is illegally sold there, and this
state of affairs has existed with unin-
terrupted continuity from the very be-
ginning of the dispensary law in South
Carolina. 1t has also been the impress
sion on the minds of many people that
constables under all of the governors,
in more or less degree, have received
graft. Whether it is true or not, OF
course, we do not know. The main
effort in this investigation would ap-
pear to be to connect in some way
Governor Blease with the receipt of
this graft. So far no testimony has
been produced showing that he is con-
nected with it.
You have the testimony from many
of the blind tigers themselves that
they are engaged in the illegal sale Of
whiskey. Why not close them up on
their own testimony?

ENTIRELY PERTINENT.

This most truthful observation is
taken from the editorial columns of
our contemporary at Newberry, The
Herald and News:
There are too many charges in
South Carolina without any proof
There ought to be some way to put a
stop to them unless the proof is given
along with them
One would almost be led to believe
that The Herald and News had been
reading an advance copy of the speech
which Governor Blease delivered in
Sumter yesterday and which We pub
lish in full elsewhere today.-News

We do not exactly see what this
most truthful observation" has to do
with reading an advance copy of Gov.
Blease's Sumter speech. AS a matter of
fact the editor of The Herald and
News never read Gov. Blease's speech
until yesterday, and we suppose the
editor of the News and Courier read it
before that.

also been reading an advance copy
