state appropriation for military pur-

We have great respect for Senator
John l.. McLaurin Of Bennettsville, and
we do not believe he will not listen to
the siren voice Of Bull Moose" Beard
and become q candidate for governor.
-Bamberg Herald.
So have we respect for Senator Nc
Laurin, lots Of 1t, and we are quite
we'll aware that the Herald thinks as
much Of the senator as we do; but we
do not see a great deal OF logic In the
above remark. So far as Bull Moose"
Beard Is concerned, we do not see that
he has a great deal to do with 1t, ex-
cept that he has as much right to his
views as has the Herald or The En-
quirer. Although Mr.. Beard was close
ly identified with Governor Blease's
campaign especially by the opposition,
1t does not appear that he Is now do
ing the power behind the throne" act,
or anything Of that kind, and II he
wants to put In his time playing poll
tics we are unable to see that he Is do
ing any differently from others who
are exercising the same right and priv
ilege. AS to whether Senator McLau-
rim is going to be a candidate for gov
ernor, we do not. know; but we have
seen indications that there are great
many other people besides Bull
Moose" Beard who would like to see
him get into the running, and II he
yields at all, 1t Is fair to assume that 1t
will be as much or more on their ac-
count than on account of Mr.. Beard.
Those who object to Mr.. McIaurin,
should remember that he cannot possi-
bly, reach the governorship, no matter
what Bull Moose" Beard may do. un-
less he gets majority Of the Demo-
cratic votes Of the state.

He disapproves in deeds, by ordering
the immediate trial Of all the de-
PENDANTS, including those McReynolds
tried to save. He ought therefore to
dismiss McReynolds and retain NC
Nab. To sustain a Washington Of
fetal whose decision he overrules,
and blame another for doing what
he himself now orders done, Is not
only inconsistent and un! lst, but ~ a
humiliating evasion OF the response
bilities of his high station. Nc
Reynolds explanation Is even more
pitiable. He protests that he is pro-
foundly conscious that his acts were
free from unworthy motives So was
Lord Bacon, who accepted brtbe
money, because 1t would not In
fiuence him. There are influences
other than financial ones. McReynolds'
excuse is that the facts were not fresh
in his memory and he blamed McNab
for not jogging in second time.
McReynolds needs a better memory,
as much as the president needs q
better attorney general. However, my
object has been accomplished. rhe
attorney general has been compelled
to order those cases to trial forth
with and the sinister influences to
which he had yielded have been frus-
trated."

MINISTER'S ON THE JURY.

People who have more or less ac-
quaintance with the jury laws, were
surprised to find the name of Rev. j
L. Oates of Yorkville, in the venire
drawn to serve at the approaching term
of the court Of general sessions which
convenes on the second Monday In
July, and the matter has not yet been
made clear.
A representative Of The Enquirer
saw Rev. Mr. Oates on Wednesday, and
asked him If he had requested that his
name be placed in the jury box. Mr.
Oates said he had made no such re-
quest, and knew of no reason why his
name was on the venire. When asked
as to whether he would probably serve
he said that he had not had time to
give the matter full consideration, but
that he had acknowledged the receipt
of the sheriff's subpoena.
Under the law as 1t stands, ministers
of the Gospel are exempt from jury
service. This does not mean that they

final day for filing protests on the Pc
tition. Several people opposed to the
election filed protests on the following
grounds: That as the registration
books showed about $500 qualified vo-
ters In Abbeville county, the petition
did not contain the names of one-third
Of the qualified voters. That all the
names on the petition who did not have
registration certificates before June /.
were not qualified to sign the petition.
That various names were on the peti-
ton which were put on without any
authority. 1t Ia stated that @ number
Of people who signed the petition Sc
cured registration certificates on the
first Monday of this month, or after
May 81. It is doubtful II LOO Is one
third Of the qualified voters. Although
the registration books show about
1900, Of course many are duplicates,
some are dead and some have moved
away. II now looks little doubtful
II the election will be called at all

AS we understand the military mud
die, the whole thing in a nutshell Is
about like this: The war department
wanted to muster out eleven companies
Of the South Carolina National Guard
on the ground that they did not meet
the requirements Of the Dick law. Gov
ernor Blease declined to consent to the
companies being mustered out, and the
war department has Withdrawn the aid
the Federal government has heretofore
been giving to the South Carolina Ma
tional Guard. This aid has amounted
to something like $4,000 g year: but
of course If the companies in question
had been mustered out. the aid would
have been reduced in proportion. The
position of Governor Blease seems to
be a refusal to allow the Federal gov
ernment to control the state militia in
consideration of the money 1t pays to-
ward the support Of the same. The

1t is up to those farmers who are
looking for good thing, to investigate
that clover-grass mixture mentioned In
another column. Already much Of this
grass has yielded hay worth forty dol
lars to the acre and there is easy pros
pect for at least forty, maybe sixty dol
lars, more. There are few crops In this
country that will beat that. All Of the
gentlemen mentioned In connection
with the experiments, are not only reli-
able and responsible; but are intelli-
gent and they will be glad to give any
information desired. 1t is worth while
to go see them, talk with them fully
and find out the exact facts. We sim
cerely hope that this matter will get all
the attention it's great Importance de-
serves.

1t is almost impossible to realize that
President Wilson is going to be able tc
carry out his plans without a great
row; but there is no question Of the
fact that he has been having his owr
way up to this time. So far as con-
gress is concerned it Is largely in po.
sition to say, lust look what we did,
If things turn out all right or to say
that is what l have been telling you
all along" If things turn out otherwise
But Mr.. Wilson does not seem to be
asking anybody to divide responsibility
with him. All he asks Of the Demo
Gratis is to stand to their pledges Of
party fealty and Of the Republicans HI
Is asking nothing.

Sharon, June 26.-Attended with
much interest was the marriage OF
Miss Blanche Cain to Mr.. r. Luther
Plexico, on the evening OF Tuesday.
June "a. at the home Of the bride, at
half after eight. None but relatives
and intimate friends or the contract
ling parties witnessed this event, which
was beautiful in Its simplicity.
The very impressive ceremony was
performed by w. B. Arrowood, ID. D.,
pastor Of the bride and groom. A
very appropriate prelude--"Love and
Devotion" was beautifully rendered by
Miss Reba Cain. As she sounded the
first notes Of Mendelsshon's wedding
march, the rope bearers, Misses Cora
Lee Sherer, Minnie Whitesides, PEN
ninnah Cain aud Stella Cain. entered
bearing ropes Of broad white satin
ribbon, effecting an aisle for the
bridal party to the improvised altar,
artistically arranged by an immense
bank Of ferns, Immediately In front
of which was q curtain arch decorat-
ed with q profusion of sweet peas and
jasamines, beneath which the nuptiai
vows were promised. 500
The ring-bearer, little Miss Mary
IWhisonant, carried the ring, conceal
ed in q bunch Of sweet peas. The
groom was attended by his best man,
Mr.. Roger Smarr. The bride entered
upon the arm Of the maid OF honor,
her sister, Miss Clyde Cain. The
l'fiower-like beauty Of the graceful
bride was enhanced by her simmer
ing robe Of crepe meteor. richly Inn
modled with quantities Of shadow
lace, chiffon drapery, caught with
pearls. Her exquisite bridal veil was
worn cap fashion, being held In
place with lovely lilacs. Her besut-
full shower bouquet was OF brides
roses. valley lilies and maidenhair
ferns. ~
The maid Of honor was charming
in her gown Of yellow satin, with
trimming of lace. She carried an
armful Of fragrant sweet peas.
Immediately after the ceremony,
tempting refreshments were served In
the parlor and In the reception room.
In the spacious reading room where
pink and yellow roses and mag
nolias introduced pretty color mo-
tif, handsome presents were on dis
play, attesting the popularity OF this
young couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Plexico left for their
home, already prepared for house,
keeping. The brides going-away suit
was of black and white cloth, strict
ly tailored. In her chic hat Of harm
onizing shade, a note Of gray was

It was not to be expected that
currency measure which represented
compromises among so many different
minds. including conspicuously Col
onel Bryan's, would meet with unani-
nous approval from the bankers Of
the United States. We were hardly
prepared, however, for the assertion
attributed to officers Of some Of the
largest New York national banks
that their banks and many others
throughout the country will take out
charters as state banks II this meas
ure goes through. They assert that
the proposed currency and reserve
system would place the new reserve
banks under political control 90 well
nigh completely that they could enter
only at great risk to themselves and
their customers. The Federal re-
serve board would be clothed with
powers far exceeding those entrusted
to the directors Of any banking sys-
tenn in the world, and IL would have
practically unchecked direction In
matters of vital Importance not only
to the banks but to the whole brA-
ness community. No such power, they
maintain, should be vested In any
bank board, and least Of all In one
composed Of politicians. These men
are reported to be already arranging
to retire their outstanding notes as
national bankers - which action
would contract the amount OF cur
rency in circulation until the reduc-
tion was made up by the national
banks remaining inside. In short
they regard the Federal reserve
board as more Of central bank
than any yet proposed, only one OF
the political and therefore very OBJ
jectionable kind. Undoubtedly Col
onel Bryan caused these provisions
not found In the original Glass bill
and disayowed by Mr.. Classic be
made. They were overdone, but so
are the protests which we now hear
Furthermore, the bill has not yet as
sumed it's final form and before en-
actment 1t will doubtless be given
greater resemblance to its original and
better draft Charlotte Observer.
