Judge Jones Will Win.

Judge John f. Breazeale has
returned from Columbia where
he talked with Judge Jones and
some of his friends over the
political situation in the state
Judge Brezeale is quite conf
dent that Judge Jones will be
elected. The campaign has
brought Bleaseism to the surface
more. but the Jones strength
will be surprising. says Judge
Brezeaie.
He was informed by observ
ant people in Columbia that the

with Blease people from all parts
of the state and yet Judge Jones
made a splendid impression and
at least shared the honors Of the

Governor Blease's Attack.
A violent attack has been
made by Governor Blease on
my POLITICAL record. After a
service as legislator and Speaker
of tae- House. Associate and
Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, all together covering a
period of twenty-one yesrs.sI
vite the closest scrutiny of every
act of mine during that period,
and I feel positive that no fair
or just man will impugn my
motives relative to the discharge
of any official duties that have
devolved upon me. I have
never represented a railroad
company or cotton mill, and no
corporation has ever exerted
or attempted to exert on me any
influence in the discharge of my ,
duties. Mr.. Blease, as bittefss
he has been toward me, has
failed to find anything in my
record that he can attack sue
cessfully before a thinking and
independant man.
He asserts that I favor social
equality between the races.
This is too absurd a falsehood TO
notice. Why, Of course he does
not believe that himself, for
after knowing my record fully
he voted for me for Speaker of
the House (see House Journal.
1890, page 474), for Associate
Justice (see House Journal, 1893
page 81, and in 1908 for United
States Senator (see Senate
Journal. 1908. page 950). If he
believed about me what he says.
then he is unworthy to fill the
lowest office in the gift of the
people; for no man with a scin-
tilla of decency or manhood in
his make up would vote for a
man who he believed favored
social equality between the
races.
Does any man doubt that [
would be governor of the whole
people? Does any man doubt
that I would be just al affRe,
whether my friends or my enc
mics? Does any man believe
that it would be necessary to-
pay a lawyer big fees in order
to get pardons from me if I am
elected governor? No doubt
Governor Blease and some Of
his friends would be unwilling
for you to have the facts and in
formation which I have given
you, and if you went to the
campaign meeting in your
county you are aware how dlf-
fcult it was for me to get any
facts before you so you could
judge for yourself as to the
qualifications or disqualified
tions of Governor Blease or my
self. Have you any doubt that
Governor Blease is supported by
the lawless element? Mind you.
he has good people supporting
him who are not in possession

In conclusion, the governor
says that he has endeavored to
answer every charge made
against him, but if any honest
man in South Carolina desires
any information regarding my
thing, however small concern
inea,ly alleged dishonorable act,
he is willing to answer the accu-
satien.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. VERONICA OF MILAN.

Veronica's parents were peasants OF
a village near Milan. From her child
hood she toiled hard in the house and
the field, and accomplished cheerfully
every mental task. Gradually the de-
sire for perfection grew within her;
she became deaf to the jokes and
songs of her companions, and some
times, when reaning and hoeing,
would hide her face and weep. Know
ing no letters she began to be anxious
about her learning, and rose secretly
at night to teach herself to read. Our
Lady told her that other things were
necessary, but not this. Our Lady
showed Veronica three mystical let
tiers, which would teach her more than
books. The first signified purity OF
intention; the second, adherence OF
daily meditation on the Passion. BY
the first, she learned to begin her
daily duties for no human motive, but
for God alone. By the second, to
carry out what she, had thus begun by
attending to her own affairs, never
judging her neighbor, but praying for
those who manifestly erred. BY the
third, she was enabled to. forget her
own pains and sorrows in those of our
Lord, and to weep hourly but silently
over the memory of His wrongs. She
had constant ecstasies, and saw in
successive visions the whole life of
Jesus, and many other mysteries.
Yet, by a special grace, neither her
raptures, nor her tears ever interrupt
ed her labors, which ended only with
death After three years patient
waiting, she was received as lay
sister in the convent of st. Martha
at Milan. The community was ex-
tremely poor, and Veronica's duty was
to beg through the city for their daily
food. Three years after receiving the
habit, she was afflicted with secret
but constant bodily pains, yet would
never consent to be relieved of any
of her labors, or to omit one of her
prayers. BY exact obedience she be
came living copy OF the Rule, and
obeyed with smile the least hint OF
her Superior. She sought to the last
the most hard and humbling occupa-
lions, and in their performance en-
joyed some of the highest favors ever
granted to Saint. She died in 1897,
on the day she had foretold, after a
six months illness, aged fifty-two
years, and the thirtieth of her re
ligious profession

A SERMON ON CARDS.

Inspired by pack of cards, Father
Vaughan, the noted English Jesuit,
preached a remarkable little sermon
in Boston, a few days ago. The oc-
casion was whist party given by the
Young Mems Catholic Association, of
Boston College.
Father Vaughan stepped upon the
little platform and said: SO you are
playing cards. / really don't know
much about cards. I know that there
are four suits. clubs, diamonds, hearts
and spades They are apt symbols,
and they are used in the game of life.
Some people play that game with
clubs. They want power and take
things by force.
Others play with diamonds. Their
aim is wealth. money, jewels.
You are not playing for money,
therefore you must be playing for
love, and you use hearts.
AS priest it is my duty to re-
mind you that in the end spades will
be trumps
God bless you all. Please go on
with your game

Giovanni, Socialist.

'.The baby is dead, Giovanni. We
did our best. Oh, we tried SO hard
to save it! But, you see, it was very
sick. And it was so little and weak.
The visiting nurse laid her hand
gently on the mans arm, but started
back as he raised his head. Even
in the dim light of the smoky little
room she saw the expression of his
face. and was afraid.
"You-you must not be angry" she
said softly, and still retreating. teThe
good God will love your little girl and
take care of her for you"
The man rose heavily. He lurched
forward as if drunk.

then in Italian, and only a whisper,

He clenched his great fists cruelty,
and the little woman, who had not
been long enough at the work to know
just what to do in all cases, fled pre-
cipitately into the back room, where
the mother and child were, and bolted
the door.
Blanca" she said excitedly, Clio
vanni is mad, angry. I am afraid of
him.
Blanca sat in chair by the bed
and rocked the dead child fiercely in
her arms. She did not lift her eyes
from its face as she said dispas-
sionately: He do noting. He hurt
nobody. He no keel you.c
There was a crash in the other
room, followed by curses, heavy foot
steps and silence. Still Blanca
rocked furiously. The nurse unbolted
the door and entered the front room
A figure of the Virgin, which had
been enshrined on the wall, lay on
the floor in thousand fragments.
Giovanni's stick, lying amongst the
debris, showed that he had wilfuIly
struck the image down. Miss Brown
shuddered. She knew the man had
revered the sacred symbol before
which he and Blanca had burned
candles ever since the blessed Ma
donna had sent them little Francesca
in answer to their prayers. That was
two years ago, in Bella Napoli, and
they had brought the image with them
to the strange new land eight months
ago. That he had smashed it in the
violence of his despair was a dread
ful thing. Had he gone mad? She
looked about the room. All else was
in place, but the street piano was
gone. He could not be out of his
mind, then, tp think Of bread-Ninning

door. Giovanni sas just disappearing

HAIL, HAPPY NEW YEAR,

The bells have sung their song of
Old Year out and New Year in, and
we have felt the thrill of all that
means-a year gone to judgment to
be weighed in the scales of eternal
Justice, and to be credited or dis
credited according to its value.
Another year is come, to be placed
on trial with all who shall live it and
count for aught or naught one day in
the great reckoning for eternity. How
quickly passes time! Seemingly but
q few weeks ago we were hailing the
advent of the year just closed, and
soon the greater part of its successor
will also be done, It is for all to
improve their opportunities as they
are speeding by, to catch the fieeting
moments as they fly and make the
best they can of them.
A new year makes one think. 1t
marks new era: it inspires hope
and courage and prompts earnest
resolution. We look back on the old
year ana see the little that most of
us accomplished in it that will count
for eternity may, much that will
count against it. We have much to
regret, therefore, and much to repay,
and in Gods goodness the new year
offers the opportunity. ALI is clear
before us, and to succeed, we have
but to try. God wills our improve
ment, nay, desires our perfection, for
He would have "an acceptable people,
a pursuer of good works" Let us
make beginning, and with Gods
grace and our fidelity to it we shall
succeed
What makes failure in an undertake

unWilIingness to cope with obstacles
that come in the way. AS this is the
