McLaurin for Governor.-Ever since
the adjournment of the general assem-
bly, there has been q rumor going the
rounds that Hon. John L. McLaurin
will be candidate for governor IN the
primary Of 1914. Mr.. McLaurin would
make an ideal governor we believe,
but whether he would give his con-
sent to enter the race for the position
we do not know. He does not have to
run for office, nor does he have to set
himself up as a target for his politicai
enemies to shoot at; there Is this
much about McLaurin, should he con-
sent to enter the race for governor he
will have strong support from the
business element who have more re-
gard for a mans ability and honesty
than they have for petty issues Gre
ated by scurvey politicians to arouse
prejudice for selfish purposes. We be-
lieve that South Carolina would be the
gamer should a man Of conservative
business views be placed at the head
of the state government, there will be
In all probability several such men In
the field, and If the people will lay
aside partisan factionalism to select
their state officials, and for that mat
ter, their county officers also, it will
1e TO their interests. When men Of the
fibre of John L. McLaurin are being
sought out it is a healthy sign, going
to show that the people are looking for
substantial material results rather
than for the qualification of indi-
vidual political advancement.-Man-
ming Times.

Columbia special Of March 19 to
Charlotte Observer: Charges Of graft
ing on the part Of Maj. H. w. Rich
ardson, the manager, and counter
charges that Col. d. A. Dickert. trus-
tee was drunk, were made here follow
ing a meeting of the board Of commits
sioners of the Confederate Home, which
broke up in a row following stormy
session. Colonel Dickert left the
meeting and handed in his resignation
to the governor, declaring that he was
not going to have anything more to do
with the institution until the grating
was stopped. He was drunk, plain
drunk" said A. w. Todd, a member of
the board this morning in handing out
a statement denying the charges made
by Colonel Dickert. Todd further stat
ed that Colonel Dickert had said I'll
whip the whole bunch" and had in
suited the matron, declaring that she
had put herself in a mans place and
he would beat her too"

The Record is glad to see The York
Vile Enquirer one time come to the
defense Of Yorkville. The cause (nay,
one Of the causes) appeared to be
some little editorial squibs in the
Records last issue anent a site for
the new court house. We say ".ap-
peared" advisedly; because, to one
looking on, this violent and unexpected
outbreak Of patriotism on the part OF
The Enquirer may have been caused
in an effort to get on the wagon"
now that a new Yorkvile paper Is
about to make its appearance. What
amuses people over this way IS the
SNUG confidence Editor Grist displays
in assuming that all the intelligence Is
located in the Yorkville editorial
sanctum, and that all others are
idiots"
If the Record has been the means
of showing The Enquirer its simple
duty to Yorkville, why we are entirely
pleased with the situation.-Rock Hill
Record.
All of which Is full confirmation Of
the correctness of The Enquirer's ex-
pressed belief that the Record should
not have been noticed. So the object
Of those silly untruthful paragraphs
was only to draw the fire Of The En-
quirer, and If the fire of The Enquirer
had not been drawn, the misrepresen-
tation would have been allowed to
stand. We beg leave to withdraw our
suggestion Of idiocy. 1t is now evil
dent that this suggestion was an un-
just reflection upon the mentally un-
fortunate. Furthermore we beg to ad-
wise that If any Of our readers consid-
er that controversy on the plane here
involved, is any part Of duty, we de-
cline the work.

1t would be an injustice to say any
thing that would create the impression
that there are no farmers in this Sec
tion who fully appreciate the use and
economic value Of the wire fence, be-
cause it would be untrue. There are
many farmers who realize the wonder
full possibilities that have been opened
up on account Of the institution, and
they are taking full advantage Of the
situation. But at the same time we
have an idea that old traditions on the
fence question are still an obstacle in
the way of progress. Take. the case Of
the average man whose IDEAS Of farm
management were nodded under the
conditions prevailing in the old days
of the rail fence. That was a very ex-
pensive institution, and involved COM
parison Of the aggregate value Of cat
tie and crops. Finally crops won, but
the question was not entirely elimi-
mated. Everybody found it cheaper to
fence cattle than crops, and the people
who felt the pinch worse were those
who had been raising cattle at the ex-
pense of other peoples crops. Cattle
became better but as to whether they
became scarcer, there is not at hand
sufficient data to warrant a positive
statement. That, however, is not the
present question. Times have changed.
The wire fence of today is better, more
convenient and more economical than
the old rail fence or any other fence
that can be built. Given the value
and prospects of certain piece Of pa
tronage, the cost of fencing the same.
and the possible profit of raising
calves, 1t is easy to figure out with
reasonable degree Of accuracy just
what one may expect from more or
less attention to cattle. Many farmers
are already dealing with the problem
intelligently, and we think 1t would be
good for the country If others would
take it up. We do not want to be un-
derstood as suggesting that farmers
abandon any Of the crops they are
now raising or anything of that kind.
We simply believe that If the cattle
raising possibilities are given only a
fair proportion of attention, the wealth
of the farmers as individuals, and OF
this locality as a whole, can be Won
derfully increased at very rapid rate.

Mr.. w. r. Horton Drops Dead.
Mr.. w. r. Horton, a well known
citizen of Glover, dropped dead at MS
work in Lexington county on wed
nesday. A Lexington special to the
News and Courier Of yesterday, gives
particulars as follows: Nv. K. Horton,
manager of the Catawba Lumber COM
pany's plant near Arthurs Station, this
county, dropped dead while superin-
tending the loading Of a car OF lum-
Der at Arthurs about $50 o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Horton, together with a
number Of helpers, was pushing a box
car on the track when suddenly and
seemingly without moments warning
he fell on the track, death being in
stantaneous. Coroner Weed OF Lex
ington was Immediately notified and
the officer went at once to Arthurs,
later summoning DR.. e. p. Derrick Of
Lexington, who, after making a care
full examination, pronounced that death
was due to heart failure. No inquest
was held. Mr.. Horton had not been
well for some time, 1t Is said. and had
often complained Of being Ill. 1t is
understood that he had been under the
treatment Of a Columbia physician for
some time, and only few days ago he
confided to one Of his friends that he
would not live long. After an exam
ination Of the body by the physician
this morning, the remains were turned
over to an undertaking establishment
in Columbia, where the body Is being
held, pending the arrival Of his rela-
tives. Mr.. Horton was a native OF
York county, being resident OF Clo-
yer, where his wife and family reside.
He was a man Of about 45 years OF
age. He had been manager Of a saw
mill for tn Catawba Lumber COM
pany Of Rock Hill for nearly two
years. He was a man Of exemplary
character. The body will be shipped
to Glover, York county, tomorrow
morning for the funeral and inter-
ment." 90, ...

FRIDAY, MARCH 2l, 1913

While of course it is the duty of ev-
cry citizen to keep his eyes open as to
what the government is doing, and to
lend his help in seeing to 1t that right
and justice prevail, still it must be re-
cognized that each mans individual
welfare depends upon close applica-
ton to his own business. The man
who devotes himself closest to honest,
persistent industry contributes most
to the welfare of himself and Of his
fellow men.

Hon. ]. E. Swearingen, State Super
intendent Of Education and Secre-
tary State Board, Columbia, s. c.
20 Dear Sir: Your letter Of March 19
received. I am absolutely and wholly
absolved from any responsibility what
ever for the condition in which the
legislature has left the public schools.
Ny annual message to the legislature,
my veto message upon the bill that
was passed, and a special message
sent upon that subject are high evil
dence of the fact that I knew what an
awkward and bunglesome condition
the legislature was putting things into,
and l pleaded with them not to do It..
If they had followed my advice, as
evidenced by these documents referred
to, we would have been In the best
condition ever reached by the educa-
tional department Of South Carolina.
But cheap politicians do cheap. work,
and when they see fit to injure the
schools in order to deprive me OF a
little credit the people must hold them,
and not me, responsible. .,..
'I regret the condition things are in.
But who put them in that condition?
Who endeavored to keep them from
that condition? I stated positively to
the legislature that / would not join
with the state treasurer and comp
troller general in any transaction, and
asked the legislature not to place me
in that position, and stated If 1t did
that l would not serve. The legislature
did 1t, and will not serve.
II think it very unfortunate that the
little children should be put to any
inconvenience or their education de-
TERED for one moment by cheap poll
tics and cheap politicians. but let those
who are responsible bear the burden.
Thank God, my record Is clear, and
instead Of injuring the children. l
pleaded for their welfare in this re-
gard.
VERY respectfully,
Cole L. Blease,
Governor"
