The great big things in this most remark

One Of the notable things about this novel
is that YOU can begin it even at this point
with the certainty that it will grip YOU TO the
very end. OF course YOU will miss what has
gone before, in which there is as deep interest,
If not quite so much excitement, as in what IS

But the Mule Wouldn't Go.

II Is not o1ten the the county off,
Gals at the court house have the
chance Of taking a few minutes off
from their routine work to see some
thing as unusual and amusing as was
seen by them one day this week. The
sight was something that kept sew
eral of them and roar Of laughter
for some time. even after it was
over.
A negro had his mule and his BIZ
cycle with him and he wanted to
tae them both off at the same time.
so he hitched the mule to the wheel
with the evident intention of driving
the mule along and allowing the mule
to pull the wheel. This the mule OBJ
jected to, however, most strenuously
and started to backing and the ne
gro had hard time to get himself
and his wheel out Of the way before
the mule backed on him. He finally
settled the matter to the satisfaction
of the mule by walking off pushing
his wheel and leading the mule.

Should Hang Our Heads i'm Shame.

We were very forcibly impressed
with almost the same remarks that
TWO OF our good intelligent friends
irom the country said to us since the
campaign day here. The sum and
substance of both their remarks was.
that they had made up their minds
peIore coming out to hear the speak
erS that they would vote for Jones,
Dut after hearing the charges made
by Blease against Jones, they decided
that Blease was the better of the two.
and inasmuch as they had voted for
Blease two years ago, they would
stick to their first love and vote for
MIN again. They both acknowledged
That Blease's administration was a
disappointment to them and a fail
ure.
Both Of these men have bows and
1t Will be but few years, when these
boys Will be men and will have taken
their fathers places. How will it
strike those boys when they read the
history of South Carolina and the
records Of her public men and call
to mind that their fathers upheld
and voted to keep in the high office
once held by the peerless Hampton.
Hagood and others, a man accused of
taking graft, or being taken to his
very door and yet made no effort to
bring his accusers to Justice but
simply sneered at his accusers Yes
this very pertinent question will be
asked by them as it is being asked
today-If Blease is not guilty Of re-
ceiving graft, why does he not de-
mand of his accusers to bring the
proof! And since Mayor Grace has
, proven what he has charged. why
does not Governor Blease force Stot-
hart to tell what he has done with
that graft money, part of which he
has acknowledged receiving, before
the dispensary investigating commit
tee? In addition to his acknowledge
ing that he had received part Of
this graft money, it has been proven
by several blind tigers that they did
pay this money to Stothart and 9TH
ers as protection from raids by the
constables.
1t is truly sad state Of affairs that
the Executive of the proud State Of
South Carolina is under the ban of
suspicion, that he has appointed men
to office whose sworn duty is to sup
press the liquor traffic. but whose sole
aim and purpose is to extract money
from the Illicit liquor dealers, divide
with the Governor and appropriate
the balance to themselves. Yet this
is the man, Blease, that so many of
our good, honest, toiling men are up
holding for governor.
, We asked three ardent Bleasits to
tell us candidly one good reason for
supporting Blease. The answer given
separately was "he is smart and
sticks to his friends" We also asked
II they had any confidence in us, they
all answered YES Well then, we said,

SAYS FARM WOMEN

The declaration that the solitude Of

who bellies the women Of the farm

thority."
DR.. Holmes apparently has reference
to a woman writer past whom he can
not trace the origin Of the often repeat

He declares that they are not and that
