The Old Paper.

The day seldom arrives in a mans
life when he ceases to be interested
in the daily or weekly paper Of the
place that he has once called home.
Granted that it is printed on the poor
est paper, granted that the typo
graphical display would make the
spirit of Ben Franklin blush; granted
that there are no editorials, or edi-
torials that are not worth reading
grant all this. and still your feelings
and mine and those of every other
healthy mortal are summed up in this
little poem from Denver Post:
When the evenin' shade is fallin' at the
endin' O. the day,
An feller rests from labor, smokin
at his pipe O. clay.
There's nothin' does him so much good.
be fortune up or down,
AS the little country paper from his
Old Home Town.
1t amt thing of beauty and its print
ain't always clean.
But it straightens out his temper when
feller's feelin' mean
1t takes the wrinkles off his face an
brushes off the frOwn,
That little country paper from his
Old Home Town.

"The PROSTATE State.

For fifty years." says the New
York World, referring with con-
temptuous pity to the spectacle at
Richmond, for fifty years South
Carolina has been PROSTATE. By
choice it remains prostrate, and Cole
Blease is its Governor.
In part The World is wrong. 1t is
true, as it suggests, that the close OF
the War between the States was fol-
lowed by an era of corruption and
lawlessness and misrule, but if South
Carolina was PROSTATE then, it was
only physically 50 and that because
the heel of the invader was upon her.
1t was at the point of the bayonet
that she was plundered. Her people
were crushed and humiliated. but
their spirit was not broken. their
ideals had not been shattered. Dire
as was their poverty, overwhelming
as were their Affections and alluring
as were the temptations offered to
many of them. they preserved their
integrity unblemished. They were
not to be terrified, they could not be
seduced, and in due time they threw
off the CALLING alien yoke and, even
amid the wreck and ruins of the
things that were, reasserted some
thing of their former greatness.
If South Carolina has been before
today the congregating place for the
crooks of a continent it was not upon
the invitation or with the consent of
South Carolinians, nor could any
South Carolipian who ventured to
join forces with the invaders dare
longer to claim kindred with the
people of his birth.
Let US at any rate have justice for
the past! For at least part of the
period spoken of by The World men
were not for sale in South Carolina
at the price of an automobile

BLEASE REBUKED
ByLadies Leaving Hall When He
smoke at Governors Convention

Richmond, Va, December 5:-Gov-
ernor Cole L Blease, of South Caro-
lima, bawled out, ITO hi with the
Constitution, in language so strong,
at the afternoon session of the Gov
ernors' Conference today, that most
of the women in attendance, includ-
ing nearly dozen suffragettes, left
the hall and did not return until he
had resumed his seat.
Governor Blease was Celebrating
his views on the negro in conJunc-
ton with the divorce question and
had just paid his respects, in charac-
terisae style, to Jack johnson for
mar ing a white girl recently, when
Governor Carey. of Wyoming, evil
dently provoked by the South Caro-
liEan's declaration that he did not
believe in educating the negro race,
asked him if he did not take an
oath when sworn in as Governor
that he would stand by the Consti-
tuition, which guaranteed equal
rights to all men.
LAS the Wyoming Executive re-
sumed his seat amid applause, Gov
ernor Blease paused, then turning to
the newspaper men, he asked them
to be careful to get his reply
straight. He also requested that
they refrain from stating that he
was excited. For" he said, I
have the reputation down in South
Carolina Of being a fighter, and a
cold-blooded fighter. at that.
Again facing the audience, ne
yelled out to Governor Carey:
''Yes, ] took an oath when / be-
came Governor, but l say, to hi
with the Constitution if it stands in
the way of me and protection of the
white women of South Carolina." ;"
No sooner had he uttered these
|. words than the women began to file
kout, among them being Mrs B B
valentine, president of the Equal
suffrage league of Virginia, and also
Miss Mary Johnston, one of the
eading suffragettes.
Undauute6. Governor Blease went
Sfurther, declaring that he would
Eeven tear the Constitution to shreds
kif it failed to afford white women
protection. Incidentally, he said
THAT jhe regarded the negro of
South Carolina as his friend and he
believed if they all could vote, fully

The theme is the Italian Malta,
against that sinister background the
author has thrown the softer colors
of an absorbing and fascinating love
story. The story, while tragic In
one, has the humor, sprightliness
and action that has characterized
his previous success.
