nine sons, all grown, and married, and

sler, all came up and made short

To the Voters of Union County.
political ADVERTISEMENT

1t has been reported over the coun-
ty that three of the candidates in the
race for coroner are travelling men
who are away from home much of
their time and I am one of them. Now
l promise the voters of the county
that if | am elected to the Office of
coroner that will give up my travel
ing job and remain at my home where
! will be found ready to answer any
and all calls to hold inquests. 1t
should be remembered that the law
provides that magistrates can hold in
quests in the absence of the coroner,
for which they are entitled to fee
OF $3.50, which would be loss to the
count, as the coroner gets a regular
salary.

Whipped Aristocracy to Finish.
The speaker recalled the time when
he worked in Newberry livery stable

"Why Did 1 Vote for Jones?"
"Why did I vote for Jones?" the
governor said, declaring he had wait
ed until he got to Newberry to an
swer this question and now would
give his full and final answer. "I
was your representative" he said, "I
knew his mother in Newberry and I
voted for him as speaker, trustee of
the South Carolina college, for speak

was from the county where his
mother lived and where Jones folks
pretended to be my friends. Ira B.

New Charge Brought Out.
Governor Blesae charged that
Charles d. Jones of Lancaster, son of
Judge Jones, owned the Lancaster
News, and on August 3 printed two
editions of that paper, one containing
the "Grace slush" the other without
the "slush" aforesaid. The former
edition being circulated in country
districts, the latter in the town of
Lancaster.
Convicting Blease of Lie.
Judge Jones said in reply: Suppose
I convict the governor of South Caro-
lima of lie? What will you say of
that? Let me convince you of clean
out and out falsehood coming from
the mouth of Cole L. Blease, so-called
governor of South Carolina" Judge
Jones then displayed an imperfect
copy of the Lancaster News of Au-
gust 8. 1t was only partly printed.
One side was entirely blank. Along
side of it he displayed a perfect copy
of the News of that date. "Look at
the inside" he said. "Did you. ever
hear of newspaper being sent out
not printed. They started to print
that paper, but when the manage
ment discovered that it contained "the
Grace slush" they stepped it. They
did not send ouc a single copy. They
destroyed that whole edition entirely.
The edition they did send out did not
contain the "Grace slush." Some one
in the Office stole that copy and 1 sup
pose sent it to the governor. AS to
Charlie Jones sending it out-that is
the boldest falsehood that any man
could utter.

When at night he seeks the downy, in
the hope of slumber deep,
Comes the narrowing suggestion {:
may he not talk in his sleep?
So he tears the bed to pieces, looks

Lest there be some wires lurking, and
foe three inches square;
And in widest desperation, dashes
madly out of the room,
Mother Earth will give him comfort,
if it, only just a crumb.
On her bosom throws his pillow, casts
himself beneath a tree.
But the leaves may hide an instru-
ment, up there where he can't see.

Psychologically, it ruins mans in
