TIE GLADIAToRS ARE OFF.

The contest for the United
States Senate will not be con.
fined to the two gentlemen who
first occupied the stage of
public thought; the newspa'
pers did all they could to
confne the race between Sena-
tor E. D. Smith and Governor
Cole L. Blease, just why these
two should have the sole right
to make this contest we have
never seen a reason assigned,
but it is all off now, all OF the
calculations have miscarrled,
there are two other entr .nts,
Messrs. W. P. Pollock of Cheraw
and L. D. Jennings of Sumter,
the former is a young man of
legislative experience, having
served in the lower house, with
some distinction, the latter is
the Mayor of his city. Just what
induced these two to butt into
this race we do not know, but
|iti is to be presumed they did
not 60 in blindly. The campaign
starts off today OF St. Matthews
and the reading masses will
watch the developments, per.
haps then it will be learned Why
Pollock and Jennings rushed in
s'where angels fear to tread"
It is needless for US to discuss
either Governor Blease or Sen
ator Smith, both have their
Official records before the masses,
both are thoroughly known, and
the voters are in as good posi-
tion to Judge between them as
we are.
In our opinion, regardless of
what Messrs Pollock and Jen-
nings may say or DO, the mind
OF the people is made up as to|
which of the first two they will
support; it is either Blease or
Smith, and if there are any
changes, which we believe will
be but few, the new entrant who
makes the most noise and is the
most reckless in his charges
may or may not benefit.
Sumter's Mayor coming into
this fight impresses US as not
being very conslderate of Sum
ter's candidate for governor,
it should not affect Mr.. Man
ming but in our opln-
ion it will; many who are
now thinking of giving their ;
support to Hon. R. l. Manning
will hesitate, because of the en-
trance into the senatorial con-
test of a Sumter man; the Gov
ernor and Senator both claimed
by one county is not calculated
to help the candidacy of either,
but especially Will it hurt the
first to announce. If Mayor
Jennings is as enthusiastic in
his support of Manning for
gubernatorial honorS, as the
people of Sumter represented to
be through their newspapers,
he must see that his getting into
the political arena to contest for
a high prize is not calculated to
win votes for the man who real
ly has a look in, with a posi-
bility of being one of the top
liners.
1t is the supposition that both
Jennings and Pollock will bel

aggressive, both Of then. will at
tempt to pound the Governor,
and, with what they will endeav-
or to do to embarass Governor
|Blease, together with the elo.
quence of Senator Smith, it is
going to be an interesting con-
test, but the man who imagines
that Blease is overawed by the
unequalled fight, so far as num-
bers is concerned, has not stop
ped to think the opposition to
Blease may find themselves en-
oarassed by the zealousness of
their own friends, as there is
such a thing as OVERRIDING it.
Smith and Blease are good
stump speakers, and they are
the ones the public eye is on,
the others will be regarded more
in the light of trou ble-makers,
and will not be taken seriously,
unless unforeseen events occur
after the fight has progressed.
Their is an old saying ''you can
not tell the luck of a lousy calf. -
and it may so in this case, some
thing may develop which will
put one or both of the stars out
of the running; if rumors are to
be considered Blease has ''some-
thing on Smith," and visa versa
Smith has ''something on
Blease," so there you are, both
may make charges and be able
to prove them, in that event,
conditions may become so chang
ed that one of the other two will
profit thereby.
1t will not be long to wait to
be able to form an opinion, that
is, If the daily newspapers will,
in their accounts of the meet
ings, give a fair and impartial
account of the proceedings, but
if they conduct their reports as
in the past, it will be impossible
to CLEAN from them anything like
a fair idea of what is going on.
and the only way for the masses
to know what the candidates
said is to attend the meetings,
1t is an easy matter to misrepre
sent candidate, and to him a
a grave injustice may be done by
simply stressing unconnected
sentences, minifying his strong
points and putting words in his
mouth that were never uttered.
Far better would it be for the
newspapers and the general pub
ilic, if the newspapers would
make honest reports of the meet
ings, then if they desire to do
so, they are at liberty to use
their editorial space in opposi
tion or in favor, but honesty de-
mands impartial news reports.

RACING MUST GO.

There has for the past few

agitators want the institution

Poker an italian Game.

Poker is probably a development OF
II frus"o, an Italian game OF the If
teenth century. a similar game called
primiera was played in Italy in the
sixteenth century, and thence jour
neyed into Spain. In France this be-
came ambigu, and later appeared In
England under the name Of brag.
Poker Is distinctly an American game.
and seems to have descended more
directly from the game Of brag than
Srom any Of the others.

his candidacy for Congress in
the First Congressional District.
We know Mr.. Dennis, having
served in the State Senate with
him, and Gen. E. J. Dennis his
distinguished father. Like father
like son; the younger Dennis is
a man of the finest integrity,
answering in his devotion to
duty, independent and broad,

an extensive practice, and one
of the largest and most progress

and in the lower part OF
the State. Mr.. Dennis contem'

unexpired term made vacant by
the death of the lamented Legare
but when he realized it was to
be a contest of wealth instead OF
brains, he refused to get mixed
up into it. His friends through
out the District knowing his
ability, and having full conf

him to enlist IN a cause to clear
away the cloud of disgrace that
was placed on this district by

The racing game was permit
ted by the general assembly
when it granted a charter for
the ASSOCIATION, we have no
doubt at the time this charter
was asked for, the members of
the general assembly had no
conception Of its magnitude,
then when the institution started
a war was waged to stop it, but
many members having voted to
grant the charter, felt they were
bound to allow them to run the
business, unless the State held
the promoters harmless Of the
cost. Thousands of dollars had
been invested upon the faith OF
the States charter, the State
however, was not in position to
take from its treasury these
many thousands and give it to
the people they permitted TO
have the racing privilege, there
fore when the agitation was on,
several voted in favor of the
race track that are as much op'
posed to gambling as those who
are urging the stopping of thl S
sport.
The racing association, as we
have indicated before, will hard

of this institution have had time
to recoup, and whether they have
gotten back their money or not,
they cannot not now complain Ii

Mr.. Benderbury was the first of the two
