BLEASE'S MAJORITY IS
OVER 1000 VOTES
RICHARDS WELL AHEAD OF CAN
SLER AND WHARTON.
Senator Tillman Has Over Eight Thou
sand Votes More Than His Com.
petitOrs Combined.

Complete election returns presented
by the News and Courier give Cover
nor Blease on their face majority of
4,OG5.
The vote stands: Blease, 1909;
Jones, 66,505; Duncan, 2,169. The to-
tai number of votes accounted for in
this contest is 140,739.
There are seven boxes missing for
the other State Offices.
The fuller returns show Major John
G. Richards 2,760 votes ahead in the
race for railroad commissioner Major
Richards has 7O,S07; Cansler, 42,627;
Wharton, 25,41S. The likelihood of a
second primary in this contest seems
to have disappeared.
Senator Tillman has a clear majority
of Sal in his race for reelection to
the United States senate. The vote
stands: Tillman, 1886; Dial, 1894;
Talbert, 36,315.

primary is over and the people may
now ease their minds so much dis
tracted. This paper felt it to be its
duty to oppose Governor Blease for
two reasons-we felt sure that Ira B.
Jones would make a good governor
and Governor Blease had had too dis
quieting an administration.
We tried during the campaign to
confne ourselves to legitimate argu-
ment. We made our fight, and now
that the issue is against us, we ac-
cept conditions in the best spirit pos
sible.
This paper will not be found nag
ging Gov. Blease. We pledged our
selves to support the nominee of the
primary. We conceive that support"
means more than to vote for the
nominee in the general election. Our
support will be that which every good
citizen should give the government If
the governor does anything deserving
of criticism, we shall deem it our duty
to criticize. If he does anything to
commend; it shall be our duty to COM
mend-and we sincerely trust that that
shall be our privilege, and we COM
mend this course to the press of the
State. We have no fayors to ask of the
government We believe to degree in
the old Jacksonian plan of ito the
victors belong the spoils" This need
not prevent the governor from being
the governor of all the people.

Against Great Odds.
Anderson Mail.

Anderson Mail.
The friends of Gov. Blease may
rightly claim great victory. Per-
haps never man had such an array
against him. The loyalty of his
friends may have been misplaced or
it may have been right-at any rate
it was of such a quality as to excite
respect.
Opposed to him were, we believe,
every congressman but one and both
United States senator's; the State
house officials almost without excep-
ton; every living former governor of
the State and some former leaders,
such as Richard 1. Manning and Thos.
F. Raysor, the majority of the lawyers.
of the State; the State medical asso-
citation; the State federation of wo-
mems clubs; nearly all South Caro-
hnians residing in other States, who
were using their influence against the
governor; the press and the pulpit,
with few exceptions.
Over all these he won out through
the loyalty of his friends. The loyalty
of thousands of good, honest men, and
the respect OF thousands OF pure, good
women were given to the governor,
and he now has committed to his care
the welfare, contentment and happi-
ness of the people of great State.
While we oppose some of his political
policies, we are first of all for South
Carolina and her uplift and this paper
Will not hunt for opportunities to
weaken his efforts in anything that the
governor may do for the good of the
people.

With Police.
With Police.

YUMA, Ariz., April 24.-Something
is doing all the time on the Yuma In
dian reservation. Many moons ago
Yuma Indian named Gray imbibed
too much fire water He was arrest
ed and put in the Fort Yuma cooler.
When his time was up Patrick Ma.
guel, chief of the Indian police, and
Miss Egan concluded that he had not
been punished sufficiently and Pat at
tempted to rearrest him. Gray took
Maguel's gun away from him and
beat him with it, Then he conclud-
ed that his health would be much
better at Parker and he migrated to
that health resort. His health i'm
proved to such degree that he re
turned home last week. He went tC
the Methodist church Sunday morn
ing and arrived just in time for ser
vice. AS he was in the act of enter
ing the church one of the Indian po-
lice attempted to arrest him and then
the fun began. Gray said that he, hat
not committed any crime and refused
20 be arrested. The policeman al
tempted to put handouts on him bui
he found that Gray was not easy. The
two men clinched. Gray got the gun
out Of the policeman scabbard. The
tussel was as to who should have the
gun. Both men had hold of it and it
looked like cold lead might be flying
around any minute Some of the
women and children took refuge in
the church and others in the mission
house.
/ Finally the gun was surrendered to
a by-stander, but the men continued
to fight. Hair pulling, clinching and
tumbling, first one and then the othe
on top. The policeman called for
help but no one responded. The IL
dians apparently were nOtwfff sym
padhy with the policeman. The pdl
ties were separated by by-standers
who had watched the fight. The po-
liceman blew his whistle long and
loud for help but Miguel did not hear
or if he did he did not come The po-
ioeman got hold of his gun and fired
it four times in the air trying to at
tract help, but no help came Miguel
could not be found. The big chief

RAILROAD SURVEY
BEGINS NEXT WEEK
ervaton-Bulding of Road De
pends on Passage of brennan Bill.

The preliminary papers and articles
of incorporation of the Parker & Col
orado River Railroad company have
been filed with the state auditor Of
Arizona The incorporatOrs of the
company are Paul Peirce of Los An
geles, Cal, Fen S. Hildreth, o. II.
Schupp, l.. H. Chalmers and j. L..
Gust of Phoenix, AriZ. The company
is capitalized for $1,000, 900, $40, 400
of the stock having been subscribed
for by the incorpOrators, Paul Peirca
taking $4,000 and the others $i09
each.
According to the articles of incor-
poration the purpose of the company
is to operate and maintain railroad
from the town of Parker to the vii
lage of Ehrenberg,a a distance of about
forty miles. Application was recent
ly made to the department OF the in
terror to allow representatives of the
company to enter the Colorado River
reservation for the purpose of max
ing a survey of the proposed rOuts
of the new line This application
has been granted and crew of Su,
Weyors will arrive next week to begin
the survey.
Application for a right of way
through the reservation will be made
at once by the introduction of bil
in Congress. Paul Peirce visited PAR
ker on several occasions recently. but
did not give out any information re
garding his business. 1t now de
velops that he represents syndicate
of Los Angeles capitalists who pro-
pose to build a road through the Par
ker valley.
1t is quite likely that the Santa Fe
may get busy and also make applica
ton to build a line through the les
erVation This is only one of the
many enterprises that will be started
here provided the senate passes the
brennan bill, which will make pos
sible the opening of the reservation
lands.

COTTON OUTLOOK
IS ENCOURAGING
Growers in PaIo Verde Valley Well
Pleased With Prospects for High
Prices-Egyptian Variety Becom-
ing Favorite.

BLYTHE, Cal, April 25.-Cot
ton culture in the Palo Verde
valley this year is assuming a position
that even the most enthusiastic boost
ers last year thought was impossible
or rather, improbable This fall will
witness a great deal of activity along
cotton lines, and the cotton growers
are very much elated over conditions
in general The prices continue to
go higher and with thousands of acres
OF cotton lands in the east flooded,
a backward spring, and other dis
couraging features, there is every rea
son to believe that the acreage and
yield i'm the sout! and east will be
much smaller.
While, of course, it is impossible
to form any idea of the area to be
planted in 1912, there is every rea-
SON to believe it will not reach the
bumper crop of last season which
to 1885, 600 bales, or an
increase of over 100000 bales over
the average production of the past
five years, and over 100000 bales
over the 1910 crop.
The following is list of the cotton
raised last year and the states in
which it was produced. Texas 4,280,-

HOPE In THE HOE
FOR THF CITY MAN
Promise Of Peace and Plenty Is
Held Out to the Overworked Men
of the Cities If Call of "Back to
the Farm" is Needed.

The typical man in the city who
reaches the age of 40 years and finds
himself behind ledger, or twisting
the handle of a machine, or selling
another mans merchandise on sal
ary, has usually put aside the hope
Of going higher and faces a future of
mediocrity-just being what he is
There are hundreds of this class,
who, fretted under the restraint of
their employment, have been constant
ly in search of something else. Such
men are not of the inefficient type
which dallies, but of the capable class
who, failing to develop their magma
tions to the point of something new
and useful, are nevertheless search
ing the future, not for great financial
reward, but for peace, happiness and
contentment.
For such men an alluring prospect
is found in the farm, and it is to

of their chances of success as farmers
He says:
1.-THE man who isn't a farmer at
heart invariably fails ON the farm, no
matter how much capital he may
have or how cheaply his experiment
with the soil may be carried on. Nat
ure will do absolutely nothing for the
man who cannot meet her halfway.
Those who do more than that reap
rich reward for their labOrs. The cry

fled by the wall of the bitter failures
who have sunk their all in a poorly
planned and miserably executed at

riches
Nevertheless, the promise of peace
and plenty that is held out by the
farm is a genuine promise. Farming
is a business 1t must be conducted
gained An agricultural expert has
estimated that as a business it is
not remunerative, that the farms in
the United States do not average
more than four per cent on the in
vestment. Another has stated posi-
lively that the beginner, even with
capital, must be prepared
to bear many hardships while he is
learning the business. Both of these
men agree, however, that the farm
holds the solution of life's problems
for the man who simply wants to live
with greater comfort and contentmentI
provided the man who takes it up
has the soil instinct And that there
is a profit for the man who will work
and plan and scheme, is abundantly
proven by hundreds of actual exper-
ences.
