Human Intelligence As 1t Is.

(Cor. Fit Wayne Journal-Gazette)
A box of sixteen shot gun shells left
sitting on a cooking stove at the home
of Louis Johnson, west of BlufftOn,
exploded this morning when Mr.. John
son built a fire in the stove and caused
a reign or terror. He had taken the
shells out to loan some to a neighbor
and forgot them when he set them on
the stove momentarily. He had gone
to the barn when the shells began to
explode after he kindled the morning
fire / the stove and consequently es-
capped without injury. Oliver Bennett,
a neighbor. heard the noise as he was
passing the house and thought that
some one was shooting at him.
OUR neighbor's kid was telling US
what he is going TO do when he grows
up and gets a man as big as
me or you. At first he thought he'd
like to be a railroad engineer and run
his train at lightning speed through
countries far and near, but when the
war broke out he changed his mind
about all that and resolved he'd be a
soldier and wear soldiers hat. He
grew so sanguinary in his lust for
blood and noise he made himself
wooden gun and shot the other boys.
Some of them fell and played it dead.
bu others couldn't see the joke and
punched his swollen head.
In every life there is a chord,
Which struck when it is tense,
Stirs emotion to its depths
And Quickens every sense.

Plays Havoc With Hogs.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Diseases
caused the swine breeds of South
Carolina to lose 50,700 hogs valued
at s461,370 last year, according to
a report which has just been issued
by the department of agriculture.
This is an average death rate of
65 per 1000 head. During the year
1913 the ratio was Is head per 1000
and a total of $500 head were lost.
The latest census reports, which are
dated January /, 1914, show that
there are 100000 head of hogs in
South Carolina, and they are valued
at s7,09S,O00 or s9.10 per head.
The farmers of the entire nation
last year lost 7,O04,s0O head of hogs
from disease. Their total value. was
s75,OO0,OO0 and the death rate 119
per 1000.

One Means of Support.

Miss Campbell, the Sunday-school
teacher, discovered, to her horror,
that some of the small members OF
her class had taken as literal truths
the tales of ancient gods and god
desses which they had read in a
child's mythology at school.
She determined, if possible, to de-
stroy this belief by simple logic, and
with this end in view she asked:
who was it Amelia, that sup
ported the word on his shoulders?
Atlas, ma-am," the little girl re-
piled promptly.
That is correct" said the teach
er. Now, children, think. If he
was supporting the world on his
shoulders, of course he could not be
standing on it. Now, what support
ed Atlas?"

BIease and BleaSeiSm.

y Twice elected governor of South
Carolina, to the shame of its decent
citizenship, Coleman L. Blease's am
bition to be a senator of the United
States has been defeated at the prl-
maries. The result is of more than
local interest. for it promises the re-
habilitation of an American common
wealth and consigns to private life a
vicious character.
1t seems almost impossible for a
man in responsible position to be
as depraved as Blease has appeared
to be; yet we have Senator Tlllman
word for it that the governors law
lessness. butality and vulgarlty are
natural and not assumed. He has
been encouraged in his violence, per-
haps. but the belief that it was popu-
lar, but at heart he is a ruffian and
a blackguard without rival in our
political history.
While Self-reSpectlng Carollnlans
have fought Blease to finish, they
have not yet killed Bleaseism. To do
that they must educate the people.
Twenty-Five per cent. of South Caro-
ina's population is illiterate. A con-
siderable element of the whites is ig-
norant and misled. Frustrated by
succession by war, carpet-bagism. the
hideous orgies of the freedmen, hur-
ricanes, earthquakes and the blasphe-
NOUS demagogy, that now approaches
an end, a once proud State cannot
hope ever to stand truly erect unless
it shall have the sure SUPPORT of pop
ular intelligence.-New York World.

WHAT NEW YORK THINKS.
Comments From The World, The Sun
and The Times.

In the person of Cole L. BleaSe
South Carolina presented to the coun-
try skillful demagogue without po-
litical conscience. whose appeal was
to the lowest prejudices of the popu-
lation and whose course was marked
by definite and unceasing efforts to
promote his personal ambitions with
out regard TO the welfare of the
State or its people. Having endured
him for a season that must have
seemed even longer to its own citl-
zens than it did to their compatriots.
who at least did not suffer him as
daily diet, the State has Squelched
him in the Democratic primaries in.
a manner justifying to the hope that
his future in public life will be short
and of no moment.
If in Blease's makeup any OF the
qualities that reproach popular gov
ernment is lacking, the deficiency is
so richly compensated by the over
Iuxuriance of those he does possess
that it is not noticeable. To vulgar
ity, unscrupulousness, violence and
the exploitation of the basest in DEM
ocratic rule Blease owed his momen-
tary success, and his downfall is
more than the overthrow Of an in
dividual, for it comprehends the VIC
torious reaction of political decency
following a mean debauch that re-
duced public life to the lowest and
most contemplate pass of degrada-
tion.-New York Sun.

Cole BleaSe's Defeat.

Despite the aid of strong and un-
scrupulous political machine and of
a direct primary law that included
many loop-holes for ballot box stuf-
fers, Cole Blease has been rejected
by the electorate of South Carolina
as a candidate for United States SEN
ator. Governor Blease has taken
care to let the people of the whole
country know what manner of man
he is. His belief in the efficacy of
Nnching, blatantly expressed, his Gus
tom of pardoning convicts by whole
sale-he has set free over 1900
criminals in that small State and
his addiction to violent language and
coarse epithets have too long identi-
fed South Carolina with spirit to
which the term of Bleaseism has
been applied as denoting everything
bad in politics.
Senator Benjamin Tillman-not
the radical "Pitchfork Benz of his
younger days. but "a statesman on
whom the atmosphere of the senate
has had a clamoring and renovatlng
influence-issued during the primary
campaign an appeal to the voters
mot to disgrace the State" by send
ing Blease to the nations capital.

MANNING THANKS PEOPLE.
Warns Them Against Indifference in
Second Primary.
To the people OF South Carolina:

To the people Of South Carolina:
| thank the Democrats of South
Carolina for the. support given me in
the primary just closed, which | feel
is an endorsement of my stand for
a progressive, business-like and non
partisan administration of the State
government. In the circumstances
that surrounded the campaign, the
support l received in all sections of
the State causes me to feel that the
people have confidence in my sin
cerity of purpose, in my fitness for
the high Office of governor and in
nv determination to be the servant
of all the people in the office to
which they will elect me on Septem-
Der Sth.
l am deeply appreciative of this
expression of confidence and | once
again assure those who supported me
in the first primary and those who
will support me in the second, that
my mind and heart, my time and all
the ability with which I am endowed
will be dedicated to the service OF
our State and to the discharge OF
the duties and responsibilities of the
Office with fairness to all.
Our danger is Indifference. engen-
dered by too great confidence. 1t is
the duty of every citizen who really
loves his State to vote in the coming
primary. AS your chosen leader /
call upon the men OF our State to
vote for me, not personally, but for
the principles for which stand.
AS your governor I shall labor to
enforce all the laws with firmness.
with justice and with mercy, and to
aid in the abolition of factionalism
and bitterness and for the upbuilding
of our State in all ways that will
make for the prosperity, happiness
and enlightenment of all the people.

Mooney went out over his depth. He
could not swim and neither of his
companions being swimmers, they
were compelled to stand in shallow
water and watch Mooney come to the
surface three times and finally disap-
pear. His body was recovered by a
diver one hour after he sank. The
young man had neither father nor

SMITH TO WORK FOR FARMER.
To Continue as He has Done for Past
Five and One-half Years.

Bishopville, Aug. 2S.-In an inter
view with Senator Smith at this place
Friday. where he addressed about
FIVE hundred farmers in the court
house, and urged them to organize
and get ready to hold their cotton,
he said regarding the recent election
in which it appears that he is re-
turned to the United States senate
by a handsome majority, that he
would wait until the official count
and announcement to make a full
statement, but that he did wish at
this time to thank the people of the
State generally who supported him
for reelection, and especially the far
mers of the State for their support.
Mr.. Smith said that he has talked
and planned and dreamed for the
farmers of South Carolina and the
South, and has endeavored to in
every way look after and protect
them and that he is deeply grateful
to them for the confidence displayed
by their returning him tc represent
them in the senate. He said that as
his opponents charge that he has
done nothing but talk cotton and
work for cotton for the five and one
half years he had been in the senate,
he pleads guilty to the charge and
serves notice now that he is going
back to do as he has always done,
and that having more experience
than during his first term, expects
to be able to accomplish more for
the farmers, and thus for the whole
people of the State and the South.
He said that cotton being the basis
of their wealth, that which raised
the price of cotton and raised the
standard of living Of the Southern
people as whole would benefit not
only the farmers of South Carolina
and of the South, but that it would
benefit the whole nation. in that the
money coming from Europe to pay
for cotton kept the balance of trade
in our favor.
The senator declared that this is
not Smiths victory, but the farmers
victory, and that he believed this will
demonstrate to the people generally
and to politicians in particular, that
factionalism does not stand a ghost
of a show any longer, especially the
factionalism that depends upon the
support of farmers to keep going. He
said that by this election the farmers,
all of them, rich and poor, high and
low, had served notice to all selfish
and scheming politicians that they
were no longer a bunch of "rubes'
to be caught by the nose and led to
any trough that suited the politician
and made to drink whether they
wanted to or not. He stated that the
farmers, who all had agreed for
many years are the foundation and
backbone of the nation, have arisen
and asserted that they have manhood
enough to prescribe for themselves
and take their own medicine and not
the concoctions of some schemer. He
believes that factionalism is dead for
ever in South Carolina.

DANGER FROM SKY.
German Aviator Drops Bomb in Paris
Street.

Paris, Aug. 30.-A German aero
plane flying at the height of 5000
feet over Paris, dropped bomb into
the city at 1:3O o'clock this after
noon. The bomb struck near Lest
railway station, but did no damage.
Though startled by this threaten

tranquil.
All have been gradually accustom-

possibilities and the people of the
capital are equal to either fortune
hard won success in the north or a
temporary reverse.
The official communication issued
by the military governor last night
ordering that houses within the zone
of action of the Paris forts be evac-
uated and razed has been the subject
of much discussion and various ru-
mors have spread throughout the
city.
Gen. LacroiX, military editor of

the situation, saying:
The Germans continue their turn

have replied by assuming the often
s;ve at Novion Horcien and at Guise
