the things all had acqhiesced in and
profited by. 1t was simply petty
graft and every senator and ev-
erybody else knew it. However, a
lot of little petty gratis make big
gratis easy and the little gratis
should be frowned down just as per-
sistently and just as effectively as
the big ones. But the Freeman
Tribune is Distressing. 1t started
out in this article to publish the fol-
lowing dispatch, which it heartily
approves:
Fort Dodge, Nov. PIT am
glad" said Senator w. S. Kenyon
yesterday in an interview, that no
one seems to be in favor of Mr.. Car
negies pensioning our ex-presidents.
1t seems to me piece of astounding
impudence for him to propose it."
Senator Kenyon also declared
himself against the government PEN
sioning ex-presidents and said: "The
president receives salary Of $780,
600 year and $4,000 travelling ex-
penses. 1t would seem that he ought
to be able to save at least 100000
during his term of Office and that
ought to be fortune enough for any
man. II the president would only
cut of some Of the foolish social
functions which are a severe drain
on his pocketbook, and which are
really beneficial to no one except
doctors who make specially of
stomach and liver troubles, he
would save even more Of his salary.
We do not need pomp or splendor
in our chief executives life. I hope
we will have president who will
stop some of the nauaeating and
nonsensical social functions that eat
up presidents salary and establish
a false and superficial standard for
our official life"
Senator Kenyon also declared he
would assist In fight to curtail the
franleing system. Nothing in our
governmental life is more abused, he
said. He also declared that the dis

SENATOR KENYON
IS RIGHT AGAIN
Brilliant Young Iowa Leader Has
Faculty Of Seeing Things in
Proper Light.

The Freeman-Tribune is glad to
see one prominent Iowa leader come
out fiat-footed against the PROPOSE
ton to pension ex-presidents of the
United States, either by private in
dividuals or by the government. But
Senator Kenyon, the leader referred
to. has penchant for looking at
things from the common sense view
point Of the common people. In fact
he is one Of them and glories in it
and the results of the late election
and of the spring primaries demon
strated that Iowa understands and
appreciates the real worth OF her
junior senator. When Kenyon OPP
posed the appropriation for $780,
600 federal building at Sundance,
Wyo., town of only rs or 100 peo-
pie, the old senators who had been
used to gratis of that nature for
years, looked askance at the young
man from Iowa, but he stood his
ground and succeeded in calling the
attention OF the people to this indie
fensibIe practice. Senatorial dig
nifty" was likewise, shocked when
Senator Kenyon opposed the policy
Of the government maintaining
baths. tonsorial parlors, etc, at ex-
travagant rates at government ex-
pense. Some called him a demo-
gogue. Others declared he was max
ing grandstand play for popular
ity, but he stood his ground and not

STATEMENT FROM JUDGE JONES
Defeated Candidate Thanks His Sup
pOrters in Recent Primary.

preciation of the support of his follow

The State executive committee OF the
Democratic party has declared Gov
ernor Blease to be the nominee OF the
party for the Office of governor, and
/ do not question the correctness OF
their conclusion from the evidence
that they had before them. am also
persuaded that the subcommittee
charged with the duty Of investigating
the conduct of the election did all
that was possible for them to do in
the time that could be given to their
task.
II think it proper now to return my
thanks to all those who supported me
by votes, voice or influence, and who
ioined me in a contest which we be-
lieved was for the best interests OF
South Carolina. To all such l wish to
say that in the light of the suspicion
of fraud and illegality which was so
freely EXPIRE sed, I felt it to be my duty
to them, as we'll as to myself, to con-
test the election and to this end l en-
ployed counsel.

cure such testimony as would prove

MR.. PICKENS GUNTER DIES
Citizen of Wagner, Shot by Repre-
sentative-elect Long, Succgmbs
Wounds.

Aiken, September 30.-A telephone
message from Wagner was received
here at s o'clock this evening, stating
that Mr.. Pickens Gunter, shot at Wag-
ener Saturday afternoon by Repre-
sentative Hugh Long, died at 80
O'Clock this evening. For while
this morning his condition seemed to
have improved slightly, and the physl-
clans held out some hope, but this
afternoon a change for the worse came
and sinking rapidly he passed away at
the above stated hour. An inquiry dis
closes the fact that all is quiet in the
little village where tumult ran riot
Saturday night and Sunday, and that
no further trouble is anticipated there.
Attorneys for Mr.. Long, who contln-
ues confined in the county Jail here,
are unprepared as yet to state whether
they will make an effort to obtain ball
for the incarcerated man. The threat
has been reported as coming from
Wagner, shat, Gle had better not get
bail and if he does he had better stay
away from here" Mrs. Long arrived IN
Aiken from Wagner last evening, and
it is understood that she will remain

prevent the purchace of Whiskey from

| found that as senator did not WELD
as much influence with the state leg
islature as l had as governor. Besides
the prohibitionIsts were in arms
against amending the law to perfect it,
feeling convinced if the corruption
continued, as ey had reason to be-
lieve it already existed, the law would
be destroyed in the end, as it was.
l am firmly convinced even now,
that a law can be framed which will
absolutely prevent the possibility Of
any rebates or fraud on the state.
Had the dispensary been left in con-
troll of the ex-oficio board, such as it !
started out with, it is not believable
that the people of South Carolina
would have ever elected an attorney
general, a comptroller general and a
governor who would have committed
fraud on the people, and robbed them
as the legislature board is said to have :.
done. 1t is a pitiful reflection on tie
integrity and character of the people
of South Carolina that legislature af-
ter legislature from among its own
membership elected men so corrupt as
to make the dispensary by-word and
a Kissing. They and not l are respon-
sible for the disgrace brought on
South Carolina by the dispensary
scandals. Those who changed the law
as it was originally passed are to
blame for all the corruption that has
marked the dlgpensary experiment IN
the state control Of whiskey. !!
