Here comes Mr.. Stevenson with a
repetition of his defense of his rake
off in connection with the dispensary
litigation. We understand the thing now
as we did at the beginning and we un-
derstood it as we'll at the beginning as
we understand 1t now. Our position
is that Mr.. Stevenson took too much
that he did not earn what he took. We
say that according to our view there
is no rules Of business or commerce
dealing with productive or creative
values that would give Mr.. Stevenson
an equitable claim on the amount he
eXacted, whether that amount was ex-
acted from the state. the whisky
houses or the wreck of the dispensary.
Again, we think that Mr.. Stevenson
got his job as attorney for the wind
ing-up commission, or secured a rela-
tion as attorney to said commission,
through his pull rather than through
his ability as lawyer. In other words
he went after that job originally just as

Ex-United States Senator John L.
McLaurin Is quoted as saying that he
would enter the race for governor
should Blease veto the state ware
house bill. That McLaurin Is one of
the brainiest men the state has ever
produced, cannot be denied, and he
has many friends in this section Of the
state who would welcome the oppor-
tunity Of voting for him again, es-
pecially for the office Of governor
Lexington Dispatch.
In reproducing the foregoing we de-
sire to remind our good friend the
Chester Reporter, Of how people diff
fer in their opinions. Also referring
again to the Commercial Democracy"
matter, we beg leave to remind the
Reporter that it forgets. In the Com
mercial Democracy matter. the Marl-
borough man was only ten years ahead
of his time, as witness the fact that
all of the politicians are just now get
ting to where Mr.. McLaurin was then.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The moving picture exhibit Of the
raising of the Maine at the Star thea
tire last Saturday night was largely
attended and those present found 1t
quite interesting.
The rough and inclement weather
of the past few days has had a de-
pressing effect on business. The peo-
pie have simply been unable to get to
town.
Quite a severe gale Of wind struck
the procession Of people that follow
ed the body of Mr.. w. c. McClurf to
the cemetery, down East Liberty street
yesterday afternoon at about 2.3O
o'clock and for time it seemed as If
something serious might happen.
Branches of trees were blown down
and teams became restive and difficult
to hold; but fortunately there was no
serious accident.
The Shieder Drug store makes
quite an interesting and attractive an
nouncement today. BY reference to
the advertisement in another column
it will be seen that the store proposes
to donate an expensive piano to be
awarded by its customers to whoever
they see proper to favor 1t with. The
plan is to give away tickets with each
purchase of a given amount and each
Of the tickets Is to be good for a vote.

DEATH OF w. c. MCCLURE.

Mr.. w. C. Mcclure, whose condition
as the result Of a stroke Of paralysis,
was mentioned recently, died at his
home two and a half miles west Of
Yorkville, on Sunday, and he was
buried in Rose Hill cemetery yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. Mcclure was a native Of York
county, and was In the 54th year Of
his age. He was born In May, 1853.
He Is survived by a widow, who was
a Miss Howe of Bethany, and five
children, three sons and two daugh-
ters, Robert, Grady, William. Alma
and Jennie.
The deceased had been enjoying
very good health until recently, and
his sudden illness and death came as
quite a severe shock to his many
friends throughout the neighborhood in
which he lived, and in Yorkville.
Although growing up at the time
when the business, industrial and ed
ucational conditions of the neighbor-
hood in which he lived were badly
disorganized, and on that account de-
MED the school opportunities he might
otherwise have had, Mr.. Mcclure was
naturally endowed with a good mind.
with broad and generous impulses,
and was a valued citizen. esteemed
and respected by all who knew him.
In their heavy loss his bereaved fam
lily has the sympathy Of many friends
and acquaintances.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-02-27

he went after the job the other day
leave the defense Of the glass company
suit to the attorneys who had had 1t
all along-otherwise to him. 1t Is
true that the men who were most IA
miliar with the case may have been
best qualified, but we think that Mr..
Stevenson was probably more con-
cerned about the fee than about the
management Of the case. Mr.. Abney
has not been brought into question in
this matter. Mr.. Abney was employ
ed solely because 1t was believed he
could deliver the goods. He did not
go after the commission, so far as we
have ever had any intimation; but the
commission went after him, and he
had a right to make his own terms.
That Mr.. Stevenson is an able lawyer,
we do not question. From the stand
point Of getting fees he is certainly
able; but we have very little admira-
tion for the prowess of the kind requir-
ed to take candy from a baby. We
note what has been said about three
years work and all that; but we are not
impressed with it. Reduced to ordi-
nary working hours, whether Of the
intellectual or day laborer, we suspect
that those three years could be COM
pressed into three weeks and we are un-
able to conceive how this service for
the state Is entitled to any higher
compensation than was given to other
members Of the winding-up commits
sion-especlally the lawyer members.
We are unable to conceive by what
rule of equity Mr.. Stevenson should
have been entitled to more pay for his
little service than the governor gets for
his whole time to the state. We think
that fee was too large. We think II
unreasonable, and we do not think 1t
creditable to any man who would ex-
act 1t under the circumstances. We
think Mr. Stevenson has been and is
being paid remarkably well for his
service as a legislator, and under the
circumstances we cannot be impressed
with any claim he might make for
further consideration in the shape of
honor for patriotic service to his state.

- Columbia, February %: The
house tonight sustained Governor
Rleases veto Of the act providing for
the medical inspection of school chill
dren, the vote being 60 to SO, not the
requisite two-thirds. There was con-
siderable discussion Of the matter
following a divided report from the
committee. Messrs. Saye, Miller and
Wyche wanted the bill passed over the
veto, and Messrs. Sawyer, Turnbull
and Harris thought the bill should
fail. DR.. Wyche argued for the pas

The examination Is made in the pres

The act of the general assembly
making a years residence in the state
a prerequisite to the right to vote In
the primary is along the right line. 1t
does not go as far as we would like;

willing to go at this time. We believe
that the possession Of registration

site to vote in the primary.

Conditions as they once existed in a political way in Hot Springs will ever be revived aud reviewed and Haunted before the people by office seeAerss sa.!asie use the means to further political ends
 In the Montgomery County Times. ] B. Wood. one Of inc four Hot springs candidates for prosecuting at torney of the district, Is quoted as saylag they have stuifeu our bailot boxes With the votes Of tramp non residents and stolen the votes of hon est citizens and put in their places sanny sacks and excelsior.
 The democracy Of Garland county as t now stands is entltled at least to an addeada from Wood which in justice might have added that we have the marty now above reproach that honest men are selected for all responsible positions, that inc cleo. tions. are honest and sguare, and the votes Of the legal voters counted as cast
 Would such ! statement from Wood iniure his candidacy in Montgomery
 We rather believe it would
 If the impression is created that his election as an irdigldual is nee essary 10 tho ends of a continuance of honest elections and an honest democratic organization in Garland county. he might make votes from the situation.
 But if he made an admission thai he was only one of majority senti ment in Garland county that demand ed and brought about the clean politi. cal conditions that now exist, his can didacy might not seem So important just at this time
 We believe Garland county has more strict elections now than ang other county in the state. City dem. rzri;-1tiu a1fti eesinty democratic com mitteemen and good election commis sloners, backed by public sentiment brought about the condition. These organizations and this sentiment would be the same, regardless of the indi. vidaality of B Wood or whether he was in office or out Of office
 tt is time Hot Springs and Gar land county was demanding a square deal from every office seeker. Pa rading an ugly past before the people Of Montgomery county, and through the public press to the people of Ai' hansas ought not to make votes for ] B Wood CT any other man.
 If Wood wants to criucise dead past here he ought to be forced aiso to explain that 1t is a dead past There are three other candidates besides Wood from this county ana we here by cordially suggest to these three lhat when they meet Wood on the stump in Montgomery county and he drags ont the skeleton Of dead past here to parade before the people that they in iustiee and fairness to their home city demand of Wood nhat be go further and fell of present con diiions and give Co the democratic organizations here and to public senti- ncnt here their just due in the mat tor of responsibility for the changed conditions adding that the same de mocracy and aiie same public senti nlent is sufficient to insure these sQuafe deal conditions for all time to come without the aid or fttfi8eHre ef J 5.
