Thanks Friends for "Grcatcst Vic
tory Ever known to World"

Columbia, Aug. 29.-The follow
ing statement was issued to-day by
Governor Blease:
To the Democratic Voters Of
South Carolina: On Tuesday the
Democrats of this State decided in
behalf Of an honest, clean campaign
against the s Of money, whiskey
and falsehoods, their decision being
written in behalf Of honor.
Two years before, in an interview,
Con September 49, speaking Of the
primary election in the ace for Gov
ernor, Senator r, r Tillman said:
Of what little influence our news
papers have. They have been so
unfair and unjust that they are dis
credited by the people,
What he said then has been more
than emphasized in this election, but
do rot care to rehash the bitter
ness and the filth which South Car
DINA has passed through for the
last three months, and | hope that
it may be possible for me to for
get and to forgive. God, in His all
wise Providence, has protected me,
and through the voice OF the pco-
pie. which is the voice Of God, has
given to me the greatest victory eve
known to tho world.
1t would be impossible for hu-
man tongue to speak or hand to
write what | feel and what / would
love to say to my friends in South
Carolina. TO say that | thank them
Is, indeed, so little and insignificant
that ! feel ashamed almost to use
that word | thank them. and from
the bottom OF my heart / say, praise
God, from whom all blessings flow,
and may His choicest blessings rest
upon my friends and our proud
Commonwealth, that He may give
to me the power and the wisdom
to serve my State and my people

with all the other members OF the
Senate, more than was ever obtain

himself to be a fighter worthy Of any
foeman's steel and any foeman's

The bands broke into a dead

Busy Times Now

Next Tuesday occurs the first state
primary. the candidates to be voted
for having been published in this pa
per last week. The first primary will
be watched with much interest, as
the enemies OF the measure assert
that it is 4 bunglcsomc and confusing
piece of legislation, more calculated
to lead the voter astray than to facili-
tate his voting for the man of his
choice, while its friends claim that it
is a little the best thing in the way
of law making that ever came down
the pike. One thing is sure, however.
it will settle the hopes OF number
of aspirants for Office one way or the
other.
Two days after the election, on
Thursday. September II. will occur
the second annual celebration Of
Crowley day. and this event prom
ises to be bigger and better affair
in every way this year than it was in
1911. The committees have every
thing in apple-pie order and every
thing promises to move off smoothly.
In another column we publish the
complete program as outlined by the
committee on that feature. Cut it out
of the paper and bring it with you to
the celebration and you will be able
to intclligently keep track of the diff
fercnt features as they are slated.
