considering dry spell.
Last S" ~ the Prescott fami-

12 o'clock a large crowd had as
sembled. AS you know the Prescott
family is right large any way, and
they announced dinner and such
spread you never saw. They had
barbecued chicken, pork, hash, pick
les, salads, ice tea and lemonade.
Mr.. Irwin Holmes cooked the cue
and so you may know it was fine.
They all spent the afternoon playing

son and granddaughter, from Tam
pa, Fla, at the cue.
Mr.. L. II. Prescott and family
have moved to Edgefeld. We regret

A Clod Breaker From Flat
Rock.

Dear Mr.. Minis: I find that the
great thing in this world is not so
much where we stand, but the di-
rection in which we are moving.
We must sail sometimes with the
wind and sometimes against it.
Hard work? yes, it is hard work.
Every noble crown is, and on
earth will forever be, a crown of
thorns" but nothing worth having
can ever be acquired without hard,
desperate struggle. The upward path
is hard to climb, then let us not for
get when the dark days come it is
we'll to keep in mind, though we
cannot see, why such hardships
should come to us, yet our Heaven
Iy Father knows, and if we will but
ask, he will give US the strength we
need hour by hour.
Mr.. Minis, l know it is all well
with you, but ! will ask all the
boys and girls, will you allow me
to say few words on obedience. "
Children should obey their parents
There is nothing that will please
father and mother more than obedi-
ence. The child that eonsults his
parents before taking a doubtful
step will always be on the safe side.
A father or mother will not advise
their children wrong. You all know
a wise son maketh a glad father.
To become wise, be obedient. We
all should obey our teachers. If you
obey your teacher they will do all
in their power to teach you and will
speak good for you everywhere.
You should not only obey your pa
rents and teachers, but older people.
If you obey your parents the other
will not be hard to do.
Not long ago one of my teachers
told me when she bade me good
bye, while holding my hand in hers,
Tee I do some day expect you to be
a great man. The same day my Sun
day school teacher said to me the
same. My neighbors love me. When
l get sick Mr.. Minis, SO many beau
tiful flowers and nice walters are
sent me.
There has been number of social
affairs during the past week. A very
delightful one was given by Miss
Mamie Bussey, at 5 o'clock, Friday
afternoon. but oh, my | was sick
and could not go.
Mrs. Matte Kenrick and chill
dren came Sunday. We all love these
good neighbors.

No Personal Animosity.

The political friends of Governor
Blease in this county (and there are
some good men, our personal friends,
among them) should not get the erro-
neous impression that The Advertiser
in opposing his reelection is actuated
by personal reasons. The fact is, the
editor of this paper does not know Gov
ernor Blease personally, never spoke a
word to him in his life.
We are opposing Gov. Blease's re-
election because his administration has
been miserable failure, one of con-
.spicuous misrule which has brought
shame and disgrace upon South Carroll
ma, both athome and abroad.
What has been stated in these COL
umns from time to time concerning
Governor Blease applies to him as chief
executive, his official acts, and not to
Mr.. Blease, the citizen. Like every
other public official, his is q dual per-
sonality. On the one hand he is citi-
zen of Newberry county, on the other
he is Governor of South Carolina, and
whatever reference The Advertiser
makes to him applies..only to his official
acts as governor.
We have deemed it necessary to make
this statement because Governor
Blease, in the hope of counteracting
their influence, has raised the cry that
the newspapers of the state are abusing
and prosecuting him. This newspaper
never abuses or persecute5 anyone.
Those who know its editor, who alone
fxes its policy, know that the zone in
creasing purpose" of The Adver-
tiser is to be perfectly fair to all, the
high and the low, the rich and the
poor; any statement to the contrary is
without foundation in fact.
Lett be understood, however, first, last
and always, that The Advertiser does
criticise the official acts of public men.
To fail to do so would not only be cow
ardly shirking of duty, but would rem
der the writer unworthy of being the
editor of reputable journal.
God forbid that the day will ever
come in South Carolina when newspa-
pers fail to spread upon their pages (or
criticise, if you please the official acts
of the servants of the people who fill
positions of honor and trust! Worthy
and honest officials invite investigation
and criticism; unworthy and dishonest
men dc not want the light turned on.
Why did an eminent divine and lite
ratus say, "The newspaper is great
er treasure to the people than uncount,
ed millions of gold''? Because it is g
faithful sentinel upon the watchtower,

safeguarding the peoples interests by
commencing and encouraging the de-
serving and exposing and condemning
the undeserving.
When Governor Blease meets his
downfall which now seems inevitable,
he should NOT charge it to alleged per-
secution by the newspapers, but rather
to maladministration and to the fact
thatsshe has been WEIGHED BY THE
PEOPLE of South Carolina and has
been FOUND WANTING.

An Appeal to Young Men.

Mr.. Editor: In the present politi-
cal upheaval the papers are full Of
appeals to thoughtful men, appeals
to the laboring class, appeals to
Christian men, appeals to reason,
appeals to the press, and appeals to
everybody to appeal to everybody.
They knew and so on and so forth
but have failed to note one single
apI cal to that portion Of our citizen
ship which is to set things straight
and keep them so hereafter; and
that is to say | have seen no special
appeal to the young men.
1t ia my honest opinion if the old
men anG the middle aged men had
stayed away from the polls two
years ago we would not now be ap-
pealing to everybody to help save
the state. 1t was case of the young
man following his mothers advice
and the old man standing by his
principles" and no man has high
er regard for the man who votes his
convictions than ], hut Lord help
the man who is afraid to bring his
convictions to the light of truth,
and too, man sometimes looks on
the side of a question he wants to
be on and is at once seized with
convictions on the subject and he
goes to the polls and votes those
convictions and we know the result.
AS young man to young men 1
say it is a thing unworthy a citizen
of our country to vote for any man
without first finding out what he
stands for and as much as you can
about his record, and to find out his
record don't go to his enemies; for
would you care to be judged by
your enemy?
1t is reflection upon your intel
ligence to be compelled to ask some
voter at the polls, who proba ably
doesn't know any more about the
men than you do, who the best man
is for such and such an Office.
And one of the greatest aids to
intelligent voting is the reading of
newspapers. Be not deceived by po-
litical crooks when they tell you the
newspapers are edited by liars and
thieves. To the man who tells you
the newspapers are telling lies about
him, tell him to 60 into the courts
and sue for SANDER.
Sharp, shrewd, designing men
know human nature and they know
how to make wonderful use of that
word persecution, thew know how
to appeal to the sympathy of every
honest man for they know every
honest man is in favor of every 9th
er man having square deal" but
be an impartial Judge as it is for
you to say whether he is being per-
secuted or whether he is only get
ting his just deserts and prison
stripes are none too severe for the
man who would use the public's
confidence for private gain,
Finally, let's pledge ourselves to
vote for the best man for every
office, from district magistrate to
the governor of the state, and let's
say to our fathers we are going to
clean up things bit, and ask them
70 help, and if they will not, then
let's do it anyhow, for there are
more of us than there are of them.

If there ever was a time when South
Carolina needed MEN, men of convic-
tions and the courage to stand by their
convictions, it is right now. In the
crisis that confronts our people we
need men in public life who are actua-
ted by principle rather than policy,
men who place public duty above per-
sonal ambition and private interests.

NOT NEGLECTING HIS OFFICE.

The Tampa Tribune makes IA mos'
unfair and unjustiiiablc attack upon
Park Trammell, claiming among 9TH
err things that he is neglccting his
official duties and devOting his time
to his canvass as candidate for gov.
ernor.
Now, the fact OF the matter is nc
State official could have been more
conscientious in the discharge Of his
duties than Mr. Trammell has been
since elected attorney general. We
will venture the assertion that he
mas been in the Office as many days
during his term of office as any Of
his predcressors. that the records OF
the Office . Nil. show, in volume OF
business despatched. in Importance
of matter handled, and In satisfac-
tory results to the State. that the pO-
sition has never been filled by IA
more thorough, capable. cOnscien.
tious and painstaking official.
The fact is that until recently Mr.,
Trammell has sacrificed his candi-
dacy to some extent by remaining III
Ills office and giving undivided at
lcntion to his official duties When,
recently, he was forced in self-de-
fence to 70 out and meet his OppO-
nents, and otherwise look after his
candidacy, he took care that the bust
LESS of the State did not suffer. His
brother, Hon. Worth Trammcll, is in
charge of the office, and there is not
I man in the State who could fill ii
as well, unless it were Mr. Trammcll
himself, because Worth Trammell
was the attorney generals assistant
for a lengthy period and has every
detail connected with the official d,l-
ties of that position at his fingers
ends.
Park Trammcll will give the gov
ern0r's Office the same conscientious,
capable administration that has
characterized every official position
he has held. and the efforts of the
Tribune and other of his dcfamcrs to
stem the tide of popular favor which
is carrying him surely and swiftly to
the governor $ chair is futile. as
their arguments are vapid and puer-
