his supporters some people who hap
pen to be trying to do something out
side Of playing politics, defying law,
blaspheming God, and encouraging
criminals
Mr.. Crosland, in order to get a run
ming start to come to his point, the
support of Biease. begins away off
yonder in national politics, and says,
1.-The trusts are now engaged in bold
attempt to control both parties"
We grant that he Is correct in that.
The gamblers of Wall street. who pro-
duce nothing, try to play politics as
/ well as high finance. And they are
aided and abetted by the cotton future
and stock gamblers here in Benefits
vile and throughout the whole coun-
try. They are trying to control both
! parties.
If there is one candidate in either
party who has spurned the support OF
Wall street and the trusts, The whisky
trust and all other trusts, and who Is
being fought by the great illegal mon
ey powers, that man is Woodrow Will
son.
Who in South Carolina is support
ing and who Is opposing Woodrow
Wilson?
That state convention, which Mr..
Crosland thinks was controlled by the
devil and his cohorts, voted over
whelmingly. including the whole Of the
Marlboro delegation, to endorse the
candidacy Of Woodrow Wilson.
The votes against Wilson in that
convention were cast by Cole L. Blease
and his friends.
But, says Mr.. Crosland, IL Jones sis
elected governor, the child-labor law,
eight hour law and everything that
either a mill president or railroad
wants will be readily granted by sub
servient governor and legislature"
by their fruits ye shall know
Them" The anti-Blease legislature
passed a bill to have inspectors visit
the factories and see that the child
forced. But that bill was vetoed by
Gov. Cole L. Blease. What Is the use
Of law without some means Of see-
ing that II Is enforced?
We agree with Mr.. Crosland that
"the time has come to cry out, Under
which King, Oh Benzonian.'" 1t Is
time to decide whether to enroll under
the banner Of law, order. good citi-
zenship, respect for God and truth. or
to cringingly fall in under the lash Of
demagogues who go over the state
preaching one thing and practicing
another.
Mr.. Crosland and all who please
may bow down to the great king OF
South Carolina, the king who has sent
forth q decree that none shall receive
office, appointment, pardon or favor In
his sight who does not fall down and
worship at his shrine.
There Is going to be a great noise
and shouting, and many will tremb-
lingly fall down before the king. But
as for US, we refuse to be driven or
scared into the procession.
We have written much more than
we intended. and will close with
quotation from Daniel:
"Nebuchadnezzar the king made an
image of gold -
"Then an herald cried aloud, To
you 1t is commanded, o people, ma
tions and languages.
THAT at what time ye hear the
sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sack
but, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds
Of music, We shall fall down and wor-
ship the golden image that Nebuchad-
nezzar the king hath set up:
"And whose falleth not down and
worshippeth shall the same hour be
cast into the midst Of burning fiery
furnace.
Therefore at that time when all
the people heard the sound Of the cor
net, flute. harp. sackbut, psaltery, and
| all kinds Of music, all the people, the
nations and languages feII-down and
worshipped the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up
"Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
answered and said to the king, o Neb-
uchadnezzar, we are not careful to an
swer thee in this matter.
"If 1t be so, our God, whom we
serve Is able to deliver US from the
burning fiery. furnace, and he will de-
liver us out of thine hand, o king.
But II not, be II known unto thee,
o king, that we will not serve thy
gods, nor worship the golden image
which thou hast set up"
