The Chicago Public voices nv
sentiments, exactly, in the follow
ing paragraph:
There is nothing in our present
political situation more ominous
tnan Mr.. R%oosevelt's popularity.
lt Is the popularity at q democratic
crlsis OF a demagogic despot in
the confidence of plutagogic
schemers. Better by far Taft than
Roosevelt, if the choice be in
oeed SO unhappily limited. Bet
Ter King Log than King Stork.
Better an Aristocrat fulfilled with
conservative traditions than a
Progressive hungry for personal
power.
Mr. Taft a thousand-fold in pref
erence to the overbearing self-suf-
hclent autocrat, who while in office
distinguished himself by his many
inaccuracies as to fact, overriding
all Limitation to common courtesy,
and exceeding the legal powers of
his position. Mr.. Taft does not
take upon himself the duties per-
tanning to Congress; does not take
advantage of his Office to browbeat
those with whom he may differ;
does not use, or attempt to use, the
Judiciary for the venting of his in
dividual spleen. Mr.. Taft Is a
S~tandpatter, and I do not like
Standpatism a little bit; but bet
ter that than a Progressive who
holds himself above the law and
the prophets.

| e In last weeks REGISTER a
communication in reference to
your correspondent. That little
lumber haul has been fully ex-
planned heretofore. 1t is no worse
to haul lumber on Sunday for
money than to preach for money
on Sunday or Monday, and am
sure no one said Mr.. Buxton haul
ed lumber on Sunday; but hauled
lumber to the foot of the hill on
Bear Branch Saturday, and went
out "to-day" to get it, and that
letter was written Monday. Now
as to Brother Jones Middleton
preaching: they say the house is
free for any one to preach in, Then
why did they crowd out Bro. Joel
Lewis, preacher Wallace, the un-
known tongue people and the Nor
mons? Sister Eyaline Brewer
travelled the county over, through
snow, sleet, ice and rain, to collect
money to build the church house,
and after the house is built they
take possession and give her the
toe of their shoes and carry the
keys, or had as we'll do so, as they
have a committee to look after the
house, and claim the school direc-
tors have full control and are re-
sponsible for the preaching done
there. Mr. j. Brewer had a min
lister to come down here from Bis
marck. What did they do? They
claimed it was their regular time.
Their regular time is when ever
there is a dollar in sight and a
good collection can be taken up.
They say your correspondent is
not a f%requenter of the church. If
| want to learn anything good |
will get my bible and read it. AS
to the boys who were prosecuted
at Des Are: they thought it better
to give that court a dollar fine than
to go to law about it, and keep the
money they had to pay out for oil
at the church house.
Sammy Lewis, the son of Skip.
Lewis, is in town to-day on his
way back to North Missouri, where
he has a position on some railroad
as telegrapher. He is a fine boy.

Mr.. Alfred w. Marshall of Green
Vile Is in the city making all prepar
ations for the opening OF a motion
picture show in the Dial building.
The new location is the store room
formerly occupied by the tenpinnet

shows for Laurens.
MIR. Marshall comes here from
Greenville with fine reputation as a
hustler and as a picture man of wide
experience. He formerly managed the
Casino and Lyric Theatres in his home
town and made fine success with
both. He is son of Ex-Mayor Mar
shall of Greenville. He states that the
new theatre will be up-to-the minute
in every respect. A new front will
be added to the building, a new ma
chine used, opera chairs installed and
a mammouth electric sign with 25O
lights placed in front. He hopes to be-
gin operation by next Wednesday.

stricken with paralysis last Tuesday
while sitting in the lobby of the hotel.
He received prompt medical attention.
and it was found that his right side
was affected. Later in the day he was
removed to his home, where he linger-
ed urtil last Sunday morning. He was
in town Tuesday for the election and
had just visited the voting booth and
stepped over to the hotel to rest while
when he suffered the attack.
Mr.. Sullivan was son of Charles P.
Sullivan, a distinguished lawyer and
legisla tor before the war. The deceas-
ed was about 70 years of age. He was
an ex-Confederate soldier, having serv-
ed in the Sixth South Carolina Cavalry

company comrades. Gen. M. C. Butler
said of Mr.. Sullivan that he was as
brave soldier as ever bore musket
In 1908 Mr. Sullivan was elected to
the legislature and served one term.
For several years he was farm demon
stration agent for the government In
this county, and, being large and
practical farmer, he accomplished
much fol ne farming interests of this
county.

items marked out are not as usual
thing desired. for they are. We are
very proud of our county correspond
cnts and we would not have them
leave out any items which they have
been in the habit of sending hereto
fore.
The duty before the executive com
mfttee today seems to us to be just
as clear as crystol. Gov. Blease has
charged fraud in the election and
Judge Jones has charged fraud and
numberless private citizens have
charged fraud. To please all CON
cerned and to clear up the entire sit
uation to the satisfaction of all parties,
1t seems that the only course to fol-
low Is to order thorough and search
ing investigation wherever charges of
fraud have been made. If suffici-
ent number of charges are sustained,
then another election should be order
ed Gov. Blease has stated through
his attorney that he does not want
the governorship unless he has won
1T honorably and certainly Judge Jones
does not wish to accept defeat IL he
won defeat dishonesty, SO it seems to
us that both sides ought to welcome
an investigation.
