The G. 0. P.

The Republicans OF this
county came out Of their seclu-
siveness last Saturday and met
in solemn conclave to send dele,
gates to the Charleston conveu-
ton 70 nominate PreSldent.C Clar
endon is in the first district and
Of course this is the bailiw!ck OF
Aaron Prioleau the many times
nominee for congress, and he
often times pulled down the
s., 900 which congress allows to
contestants. There was also
here Tom Grant Of Charleston
who made a hard effort to get
the State convention to send him
to Chicago, but it would not, so
he came here aid tried as hard
with the same consequences.
Tom seems in hard luck with the
controlling element. c. N. En-
glish and W. 7. Andrews We're
also here. English is 4 Gus
tom house official and An.
drews is in the mail service. The
convention endorsed English
and Prioleau for the national
convention, aud elected rs dis
trict delegates S. J. Mcknight
OF Rimini, John Gill and Calvin
Johnson Of Manning, L. H. Bal,
lard Of Davis Station and L. D.
Moses Of Midway.
The convention was orderly
Notwithstanding there was a
number Of speeches made, the
delegates were in good humor
and seemed to look upon the
convention as a gathering
which had to be whether it re.
suited in anything Or not. There
was no resolution endorsing any
Of the candidates for President,
but it is assumed that the dele,
gates are for Taft. Roosevelt
is got 10 good standing with the
Republicans here ever since the
Brownsville incident.

The Blease commission 6ht

The Blease commission when
examined last week by the anti.
Blease commission did not hesi.
tate to express their lack of con.
hdence in the attorney general tc
handle cases where the old com
mission was interested or which
would effect the interest of Col.
Thomas Fielder of Atlanta,
Whether they thought the attor.
ney general was incompetent tc
advise them or that he was SO in.
timately connected with Fielder.
and the old commission, does not
appear: but they would not have
Lyon to advise with them. We
do not think they should have
ignored the attorney general, but
on the other hand they should
have insisted upon his service tc
them, as he was an officer Of the
State the same as themselves,
and it was his duty when called
upon, to furnish the law.

WHO'S PUTTING Up TIE DOUGH !!

There is 50 much ado made
over She fact that some cS the
weekly newspapers sent out sap
plements containing Underwood
matter. We cln see no good rea-
sou to complain Of this as the
friends Of Mr.. Underwood have
the same right to reach the vot-
ers Of this State as have the sup
porters Of any OF the other can
didates for President. Woodrow
Wilson secured che favor OF the
newspapers of this State long
before Tie average voter knew
of sucil a n,.:::. He seems to be
the candidate ii South Carollna'S $
ncwspaner trust led by the gen
tirracn who u"n ana controi the
Cnlur;:,:a State. SO far as We
Iknov Professor Wilson may OF
nav not be The choice Of the yot
erS oi South Carolina: bat it is
our opinion. the real voter does
mot worry over VINO the caad!-
date SHALL be. what he wants is z
Democrat who can win in Novem-
Der. tf MI. Underwood thinks he
can he has the same right TO
make his bow 10 South Carolina
as Mr.. Wilson has, and because
some of the weekly press has
seen fl 10 be far TO him they are
lectured by the self appointed
beli-weather Of the press flock.
The TINES did not send out the
Underwood supplements, oe.
cause they We're not sent here, and
the reason il was not sent here,
IS we suppose, that we overlook
ed the proposition from Under
woods headquarters, but We
would ike TO know the source of
Wilson's S money supply, what IN.
tercsts are putting ap the money
to further his very expensive
mpaign for the nomination.

Dr.. S. c.. Mitchell Of the South
Carolina University on last Fri
day made a speech at the educa.
tional conference in Nashville.
Tenn, in which he made a dec
laration that may c:.il for more
illumination in order for the peo-
pie to understand his position.
He is reported to have said.
"There is a physical bond which
unites the two races OF tile South,
think what you will Of the moral:
political or social bond" We
hardly think this eminent
educator Is an advocate Of
equality Of the races or he
would favor eqnal rights poll
t;ca!ly and socially. if he
did we can see the finish OF
his usefalncss as the head Of the
university in this State. There
are many arguments which seem
soUnd Theoretically, but when It
cones 70 the practical there is a
Gull which separate the races
that cannot be crossed.

The racing meet in Charleston
is nearing its end, in fact, q good
many Of the flyers have depart
ed for the Jamestown meet. Ac-
cording to the recent act Of the
general assembly forbiding bet
ting it is doubtful if there will be
any races in South Carolina after
July, either in Charleston, at the
State fair, OF any Of the county
fairs. The promoters of the fairs
will have to provide some other
form of amusement to satisfy the
public demand. and we would
suggest they furnish the fair
grounds with good base ball
teams. ana only permit those to
enter who will not wager.

We hearty agree with a mum.
Der of our contemporaries that i
would be wrong to inject into the
county politics the Blease and
anti -Blease sentiment. What diff.
ference does it make whether a
candidate for Auditor or Super.
visor is for Blease or Jones, all
this candidate has is his individ-
ual vote, and he should have the
privilege of using itas he pleases.
There was a time when conditions
we're in such an excited state that
the people gave way to passion,
but i is not so now, therefore we
say when selecting your candi'
date for a county Office only con-
slider fitness for the position ask
ed for.

THE QUESTION TO BE SETTLED BY TIE
COURTS.

Mr.. Il. Wilson Fraser Of
Georgetown has been appointed
State Bank Examiner il the
place of Mr.. B. J. Rhame re-
moved. This appointment will
bring on the question OF whether
or not the governor has right
to remove a State official AS
we understand the proposition,
Governor Blease charged Mr..
Rhame with neglect in the mat
ter of the Lexington bank, and
that by said neglect the State
and individuals got caught IN
the failure and lost money. Mr..
Rhame denies that ne is guilty
of neglecting his duty. but on
the other hand Insists that be
did his duty; the governor, how
ever, thinks differently and dis
missed Mr.. Rhame from the
service. Rhame has as his ad.
visors the Attorney General and
Hon. ". T. Stevenson of Ches.
terieId. Strange as it may seem,
whenever there is q conflict o., a
dispute with the State, the
gentleman from Chesterfield is
always on the spot, and especl.
ally is this the case when there
are any funds in the dispute.
Just how the matter will get to
the courts we cannot say, Nj.
Rhame has refused to recognize
the governors right to remove
him, according to the Attorney
General, and Mr.. Stevenson,
Governor Blease has never had
any authority to do that which
is objected to by them, but the
new appointee when he demands
the records of the Office viii
precipitate the question for the
courts to act upon.

ANOTHER VICTIM FOR SLAUGHTER

Col. Nat Dial Of Laurens, has
chucked his hat into the sena-
torial ring by announcing him
self a candidate for the United
States to succeed Senator B. r.
Tiliman. We know Col. Nat, but
if he really does light on Tillman
sure enough, it will be mighty
mortifying to Us. for We would
feel so sorry for the fellow, that
it would be with difficulty to look
him in the face again. The guat
that lit on the oxe's horn will be
compared as large as an elephant
to the Nat that lights on Ben.
Talman next sumner. There
was a time when we believed
Til!man could have been beaten
for reelection but that time has
past. He has since then made q
record IN the Senate which the
State can feel proud Of, and look
over the errors OF his past. 1t is
our honest opinion. there is no
man or combination Of men who
can defeat ,lillman for re elec,
ton to the senate, and those who
have announced their intention
had better change Their minds
and become candidates for the
legislature where they might be
Of some service to the State. Dja!
and Tolbert would make sp!on
did representatives, with them IN
the lower House we know that
body would have at least two
who would not meelly follow the
lead Of the gentleman from CheS-
ter6eld that frequently becomes
the financial beneficiary OF legis
lat'on, especially legislation seek
ing to get money for the State
which should be looked after By
the attorney general WHO is tie
legal representative.

Gathering Stones For Teetf

Upon the rocky coast of Normandy
between Hayre and Dieppe are to De
seen numbers Of men and boys OF all
ages walking slowly up and down the
shore and occasionally picking up
pebble and placing it carefully ID SACKS
which they carry. When these SACKS
are filed they are carried to foreman,
who examines the pebbles carefully
and pays the collector. The pebbles
gathered are not very abundant, but
the washing OF the shore produces
more each day, and the work goes on
while the bus!Gess-for it really is quite
al tndustry-seems to pay those en-
gagged in it. These small stones or peb-
h.es are shipped across the sea to the
United States, where they are reduced
to fire powder, which is afterward
converted into Il very fine grade Of por-
cc!3in, from which many OF the best
false teeth are Elade.-EXchange

LET TIE PRIMARY ALONE.

The News ana Courier f;.vors
aoolishing the county to county
campaign. and gives a number
of reasons: brv It is our opinion
If the county to county campaign
system is abolished it will be the
beginning of the end of the prl-
mary system: We are sure the
voters Of the State prefer the
primary for the selection OF
officers to the convention plan,
and they would not agree to give
up the present system merely
for the reasons as advanced by
Charleston's morning newspaper.
The people are accustomed to
the present system Of having
the candidates coming before
them. whether 1T does any good
or not, and we imagine they will
resent any attempt, from what
ever source to make a change.
The convention plan was given
a faithful trial in this State.
then it was claimed the few con-
trolled the many. and because of
this there was great dissatlsfac-
ton resulting in apathy, and
now because there is an element
that cannot come into control
under the primary system an
other change is desired. hoping
to bring with it better luck. We
believe in letting well enough
alone, and while it is true the
canvassing the State is costly,
yet the expense does not seem to
Georive candidates from coming
or.

state cannot endure without moral
ity. Hence it needs the guardian
care of "the Church." i.e., the
Papaey. That is the argument. If
this is not bacuIus in angulo logic,
what is? If the Church of England
had created an American bishop at
the time of the Declaration of hide
pendence, we presume we would, as
a nation, by that coincidence become
"conjoined in concord" with the
Episcopal Church. If George Wash
ington had fellow shipped Henry
Muehlenberg in social way, we
presume that the country would
have been destined, by the irresistf-
bic force of that event, ito become
Lutheran. If the Presbyterians were
to declare themselves ca legitimate
society, founded by the will and or
dinance of Jesus Christ for the pre-
servation of morality" Congress, we
anticipate, seeing that the State is
in need of morality, would have to
recognize that it is useful and neces-
sary for these free American States
to be conjoined in concord and ami
ty with the Presbyterian Church.
But we are still in search of some
indication why Catholicity in the
United States is in need of "assis-
lance" The next paragraph seems
to render this task almost hopeless
1t reads:
That yoS1 Republic is progressing
and developing by giant strides is
patent to all; and this holds good in
religious matters also For even as
your cities, in the course of one CEN
fury, have made q marvellous in
crease in wealth and power, so do
we behold the Church, from scant
and slender beginnings, grown with
rapidity to be great and exceedingly
fourishing. Now if, on the one
hand, the increased riches and re-
sources of your cities are justly at
tributed to the talents and active in
dustry Of the American people, on
the other hand, the prosperous con-
dition of CathoIicity must be as
cribed, first indeed, 10 the virtue,
the ability, and the prudence Of the
bishops and clergy, but in no slight
measure also to the faith and gener-
osity of the Catholic laity. Thus,
while the different classes exerted
their best energies, you were enabled
to erect unnumbered religious and
useful institutions, sacred edifices,
schools for the instruction of youth,
colleges for the higher branches,
homes for the poor, hospitals for the
sick, and converts and monasteries.
AS for what more closely touches
spiritual interest, which are based
upon the exercise OF Christian vir-
tues, many facts have been brought
to our notice, whereby we are ami
mated with hope and filed with joy,
namely, that the numbers of the
secular and regular clergy are steadi-
1y augmenting, that pious sodalities
and confraternities are held in es-
TEEN, that the Catholic parochial
schools, the Sunday schools for i'm
parting Christian doctrine, and sum-
mer schools are in a fourishing con-
dition; moreover, associations for
mutual aid, for the relief Of the in
digent, for the promotion of temper
