reccive-;e repudiation from the
people. The opposition to the
governor need not take any so
lace from the outcome Of the
club meetings, it does not mean
that the masses have set their
faces against the re election OF
Governor Blease and have turn
cd towards Judge Jones, nothing
of the sort. Judge Jones, II ne
continues to be the only candl-
date against Governor Blease
will have to prove his case
against him. He has charged
the governor of being unworthy
of the trust which has been re-
posed in him. He has charged
the administration OF Governor
Blease as tending towards anar-
chism and several other high
crimes and misdemeanors, if he
proves these charges and also
proves that he is better qualified
he will win.
1t is the purpose of The TINES
to treat both sides in this con-
troversy with absolute fairness,
should we at any time during
the campaign make an utterance
in these columns which is not
fair, it will be because of misin.
formation and not through wan
tonness. Personally. the writer
is inclined to vote for Governor
Blease if his administration is
not proven unworthy, and he will
say in this connection, he has
never voted for the man before,
but it is rule Of his to give an
officer a second term unless it is
proven he is unworthy. Up to
the present the opposition to
Governor Blease. to use the
language Of the Columbia cor
respondent of Mondays News
and Courier "was created on the
day that he was elected governor
of South Carolina" " is not to be
taken seriously, because of the
acknowledged prejudice from
the outset of his administration
he was not given a square deal
by those he succeeded IN defeat
ing, therefore their estimate of
him does not impress those who
are disposed to be fair, and are
willing to judge the case upon
its merits.

The more that is writted about
the Titantic disaster the more
it brings to our mind the belief
that it was the decree Of Provi-
dence for the vessel to be des-
troyed: and not due to negligence
on the part of man. There was
no rough sea, it was a starlight
night, new vessel with a com
mander that had followed the
ocean all OF his life. considered
one of the best mariners the
company had, and had passed
over the same locality many
times; in a moment, when there
was not a thing to make him
feel danger, his precious freight
of human souls was sent to eter.

the excavations of those sena-
ators who have filed the con-
gresslonal record with their
abuse Of J. Bruce Ismay. The
man saved himself while others
stood aside is true, but he had a
right to save himself, and be a
useful citizen, rather than a dead
hero. Now, did the evidence
show that Ismay prevented some
one else from getting into a life.

censured, for self-preservation

Manning Boys Found Their Way Back Home.

II you believe that thirteen is an un-
lucky number, why ask J. Weeks &
Co., whose High School nine swamped
Manning Friday by a score OF l3 to 3.
The game was Iop-sided and at times
slow, but several set pieces Of the most
gorgeous fireworks brought out enough
interest to keep the rooters on the job.
Manning had practically no chance, and
it was merely q question Of the size OF
the score after the third inning. 4 de-
sulcory rally on the part OF the Manning
lads evened up things somewhat ID the
fifth Better base running would have
tied the score, but the visitors showed
lack OF inside ball knowledge. Alarmed
High got busy 10 the next session, apd
ran in six .,allies. Three more came in
the seventh, and this ended the scoring
effort.
Emulating their big brothers game
of the previous day, the prep lads serv-
ed up twelve errors. but the clouting
was redeeming feature. First on the
honor roll was J. Weeks, who, in iour
attempts, got only one single, his other
tries netting merely two doubles and
triple. besides cleaning the sacks with
Cne of his larrups. AS eleven strike
ou.s seemed to be the style this week,
J. Weeks also famed eleven of the Man
ming team. All OF the High School lads
swatted well, thirteen hits being the
result of their efforts.
Manning High played an earnest
game, but was simply up against bet
ter ba team. A little coaching would
have frightened up the work on the
paths, as several men who could have
scored on outheld hits were held at the
third station. Williams's work with the
bat and the fielding OF Sistrunk IN left,
were the best features OF their play. A
curious happening was that Nelson at
first, got but two putouts, the catcher
handling the bulk of this department.
y quiet set Of lads, Manning's conduct
on the field was all that could have been
desired, ard they took their defeat
quite gracefully.

To Build MIllion-Dollar SaWnill al
ST. James.

The Bowie Lumber Company; which
recently bought out the J. G. RiVes
Cypress Company, is planning to erect
a modern saWmill on the Mississippi
river, near ST. James, which will cost
something like a million dollars. 1t
will be an up-to-date plant in every
respect, and will be designed to cut
up in ten or twelve years the vast
supply Of timber which the company
owns ID st. James, Assumption and
Lafourche parishes.
The Bowie Lumber Company owns
logging road tWenty-eight miles IN
length and the RiVes Company has
road twelve miles long, so it will re-
auire the construction of only small
stretch of road to connect the two
lines, and thus give the Bowie mills
on the Southern Pacific direct connec'
ton with the proposed big mill on the
Mississippi river. The Bowie mills
pay the Southern Pacific Railroad ap
proximately $3.50, 900 a year in frelghts
and by building mill on the river,
| where water transportation can be fig
ured into the freight rate, much of this
! amount will be saved. In fact, it is
estimated by the Bowie Col. rpany tina
not only will the cost Of he~construc
ton of the new mill be repaid, bu1
there will be a comfortable margin
Of profit besides.

CoMMENDABLE PUBLIC SPIRIT.

that this. Invaluable and lnolspehs1
bic public utility may be put on d
sele-sastaining and profitable basis.
Under existing conditions the man
tenance Of this plant is entalllng
heavy drain on the treasury ana
resources OF the city, the outlay eA-
ceeding the revenues at the approx l:
mate rate Of $1,000 per month. lhe
main cause Of this very unsaels-
factory state Of affairs is 20 %
found in the. heavy consumption Oh
extensive fuel necessary to keep the
plant in operation.
It is proposed to remedy the ae-
fort nv the installation of improved
| machinery that will reduce the loe4
cost to small fraction OF its present
! nroportions. but the contemplated bet
lterments will involve an expenditure
+, of something like $4,000, and the
city is not in a position to raise such
l. large sum or to undertake it's ex'
penditure at this time.
It is understood that NUMBER OF
nrominent citizens, having at hear'
the welfare and progress OF the CITY
are willing to advance the funds req
uisite to secure the desired I'm
proyements. and to assume the man
agement and operation OF the llgh
