Should Supplement Fund.

The legislature, through the efforts
of the Hon. J. P. DeLaughter, appro-
priated the sum Of $500 for the erec-
ton of monument to the memory of
McKie Meriwether who lost his life in
the Hamburg riot. A member of the
commission which was appointed by
the legislature has called our attention
to the fact that this amount is not ad-
equate for the erection Of creditahle
monument and has suggested that in
dividual citizens make contributions to
this fund. the Advertiser very hearth
lv endorses the suggestion and we will
receive contributions for this purpose
and forward to the commission, pub
fishing the names and amounts. Edge
field and Aiken counties should erect a
creditable monument to the memory of
gallant young McKie Meriwether.
Send your contribution to The Adver-
tiser and it will be forwarded to the
proper person to be used for this pur-
pose.

A Change of Sentiment.

Dispatches concerning the meetings
of the Democratic clubs over the State
indicate that Governor Blease is not as
strong as he was two years ago. 1t is
evident that the State convention will
be controlled by the anti-Blease forces,
and the fact that Newberry county,
Governor Blease's own county, will
send an anti-Blease delegation is taken
as significant. The following dispatch
from Columbia by a political friend of
Governor Blease can be taken as in
dicating the real situation:
''Gov. Blease's adherents were badly
beaten in his home county of Newber-
rv. Assistant Attorney General Ere
H. Dominick failed of election to the
county convention and Private Secreta-
rv John K. AuI is not delegate.
Gov. Blease was elected delegate,
polling a bare majority. Newberry
county convention will send a solid anti
Blease delegation to the State conven-
tion, it is predicted. This is the first
time the governor has failed to control
his home convention. 1t is predicted
that the State convention will be over
whelmingly controlled by Senator
Smiths friends. Reform of the prl-
mary was endorsed in many club meet
ings and will be the big fight in the
convention.

Sentiment Steadily Growing.

1t is gratifying to see that public
sentiment in favor of the nation setting
its seal of disapproval on the whiskey
business is growing. For number OF
years it was impossible to get the ear
of congress on any phase of this ques-
ton, but within the past year or two
there has been a decided change. 1t
will be remembered that so strong was
the sentiment fo' legislation on this
subject that congress passed the Webb
bill over the veto of President Taft.
And now there is evidently growing
sentiment for national constitutional
prohibition, as is shown by the follow
ing reply of The States Washington
correspondent to the question as to the
outlook for congress passing a prohi-
bition law:
"An investigation IF this subject in
congress reveals the fact that in all
probability congress Will seriously con-
slider and probably vote upon the ques-
ClOn OF naClOnal prOnlDlLlOn dC Iie SeS-
sion beginning in December. There is
very decided tendency toward such
legislation.
7'Were the anti-saloon forces in
charge of any other person than Rep
resentative Hobson it is quite probable
that quick action might result. How
ever, Mr.. Hobson will 60 out of con-
gress with the end of the present ses-
sion, March q, next, and then a new
lender will take up the work. 1t is
probable that not less than from 300
to 500 petitions are filed in congress
on this subject each day-some for ma.
tional prohibition and some against. J"
The people in large numbers all over
the country are greatly interested in
and clamoring for national legislation
looking to the abatement of the whis-
key evil, and the past has shown that
when the people become aroused upon
matters of vital concern to the nation
and society something will ultimately
result.
