of the author communication from a
vete,an commenting upon matters at
the Soldiers Home in Columbia. The
Herald and News has published none
of these reports because we have TAX
en- no stock in the charges that there
has been any effort to coerce the old
soldiers. or that the old soldiers could
he coerced. This communication ap-
reared in the last issue of the Obser-
yer and the author requests The Her
aid and News to publish it and send
hill to him. Were It a matter which
had had any publicly in The Herald
and News it would be communica-
ton, to be published without charge.
But inasmuch as it deals with charges
none of which have been published in
The Herald and News, for the reason
stated, it is legitimately an advertise
ment, and is published and marked as
such.

On August 6, 1912, the death angel
came to the home of Mrs. Dora Thrift,
in West End, and carried away the
spirit of their mother, Mrs. Mary A.
Force.
Mrs. Force was born in NeWberry
county February Is, 1S41, and was
married to Mr.. G. W. Rankin in her
young days. He was killed in the War
Between the States, and was buried a
Point Look Out. Two children sur
wives this union, Mr.. T. B. Rankin, OF
Saluda, and Mrs. Dora Thrift, of West
End. In later years she married Mr.
Charley Force, who died in 1901, and
one child survives this union, Mr.. J.
A Force, of Saluda.
Mrs. Force was II years old at her
death, but Notwithstanding her ad-
vanced age, she was very active up un-
til few months before her death. Her
sight failed her some time ago, but
she made it her duty to look for the
bright side of everything. Every dark
cloud has silver lining" was her mot
to-. Mrs. Force is survived by three
children, twenty-four grandchildren
and seventeen great grandchildren.
Her body was laid to rest in Bethany
burying ground in Saluda, there to
wait for the sound of the trumpet
when "The dead in Christ shall rise"
Go spirit, take thy flight,
To him, thy great Creator;
Why do we weep and mourn

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The regular itinerary of the State
campaign party was concluded yester-
day in Greenville, and the campaign is
now near to it's close We trust that
in this campaign we will be free from
the eleventh-hour reports which have
characterized some South Carolina
campaigns in the past. We do not be-
lieve the people of South Carolina can
be Influenced by such campaign meth
DDS, knowing the history of past cam
paigns as they do; but it is well to
caution against them.
We believe Newberry county is going
to give a big majority for Governor
Blease, whose home is in Newberry,
and we believe that he is going to be
reelected by a big majority.
No matter who is elected in any
race, we trust that the primary of next
Tuesday will end the bitterness which
the campaign has engendered; that
the people who have drawn apart dur
ing the campaign Will get together
again, each giving the other credit for
purity OF motive, and that political
peace may once again abide with the
State.

Office.
Go over Mr.. Bufords record as
sheriff from the hour he assumed his
duties down to the present, and you
will find it an answering witness to
his iron honesty, his tireless energy,
his sound and practical Judgment
a living witness to how closely he has
kept his faith with the people, and
how we'll he has served his county.
To this record may be added that OF
his good soldiership in the army OF
the Confederacy, and also his faith

is the man that we are asking you to
reelect sheriff of Newberry county.
What he has done he will continue to
do. The people of Newberry county
cannot serve their interest more sane
ly than by rejecting NJ. NJ. Buford.

VERY QUIET MEETING
ATPICKENS WEDNESDAY
ALL CANDIDATES MAKE MILD
SPEECHES.
Blease Reads Portion of Letter From
TilIman to Show Latter is
HandS-Off.

Pickens, Aug. Ex-Governor Blease
knows himself that he is beaten; he
sees the hand writing on the wall and
knows he is gone," was one OF the
declarations made by Judge Ira B.
Jones in the course of clear-cut and
vigorous presentation of his candidacy
at the State campaign meeting here
TODAY. Judge Jones declared that. Gov
ernor Blease is scared and l can
prove it," He then cited the COVER
nor's talk about assassination at Gaff-
ney, where, said Judge Jones, 1 mad
TO null out and show him little cork
screw l had in my pocket just to keep
him from trembling to DEATH
In contrast to most Of his speeches
during the campaign Governor Blease
made no special attack on Judge Jones
today. Very seldom did he mention
Judge Jones's name, and omitted en-
tirely the social equality and some
of the other charges that have hereto
fore consumed much of the governors S
time in presenting.
The governor today read portion
of a letter from Senator Tillman bear
ing on the gubernatorial race, defend
ed his pardon record, and outlined 9TH
er planks of his platform,
With a view to showing that Sena-
tor Tillman is hands off, in the CUB
ernatorial fight, Governor Blease read
from an article recently sent out from
Washington by Mr.. P. H. MCGOWAN,
which, said the governor, stated that
he had promised his influence to CO..
w. Jasper Talbert in the senatorial
race. Gov. Blease declared he mad new
er mentioned the senatorial or guber-
material race to Col. Talbert. The gov
ernor said Mr. MCGOWAN ought to be
named :"P. H. Liar"
In reference to his charge that the
Jones people intend to count him out,
if possible, Governor Blease' said he
had received a letter from J. Manly
Smith, ex-sheriff of Lee county, saying
that State Chairman John Gary Evans
had sent the.Lee county chairman two
thousand tickets for use in the prim-
ary, whereas there are three thousand
names on the club rolls of Lee county.
The governor said also that the
Pickens county chairman had been
furnished two thousand tickets less
than asked for. Lee and Pickens are
both Blease counties, said the COVER
nor, who declared the State chairman s
alleged action in regard to the tickets
showed they are trying to count me
out"
The governor received as presents
today an Elk's ring and a silver scarf
pin. Several young ladies came upon
the stand and presented the governor
some beautiful flowers.
