Editor The Herald and News:

I1OpS YOU o4 AOI S0IUAAS 80 w ~
my pieces. Ii so, say so, and shall
stop. But l want to write one mo'e
before the election of the 25th, and
this is my last chance.
l have seen what you have been
saying about sticking to home peo-
pie. I endorse every woFd of it, es-
pacially when our home men have
sense and ability. I always vote for
my home men, even waen l have diff
fered with them in county matters.
We ought to want to help our nome
people. They help pay our taxes, help
keep up our schools and churches,
give to the poor of tae community,
trade with our merchants, buy chic
kens and eggs from our farmers, and
some day our home people will help
to bury u.s., The man from over yon-
der in another county WHO doesn't
know US, and never comes about us
except when he wants our votes, will
laugh at US for voting against our
home man, for he expects US to vote
for him, and won't be mad if we do.
Cole. L. Blease is home man. He
was born in this county, and has al
ways lived in Newberry till the people
of the State told. him to go live in the
mansion in Columbia. Of course,
some people don't want him to live in
Newberry 1 guess it is because he
cant be bossed by them. Some day
they will see their mistake, and will
wish they had not fought Collie so
hard. Some of them didn't even want
him to vote in his old CLUB in Newber-
ry. Now, that won't do. Let US 'ay
aside our prejudices and work for
Newberry. 1t won't be long before
some other men in Newberry county
will be running for big Offices, and
then t.ey will cry out, "Newberry
people must help me" They had
better mind what they are doing pow,
for some Newberry people may re-
member their acts. But will vote for
item, and / hope to have another
Newberry man to vote for for COVER
nor soon. We have some who may
run, and they may have good chance.
l could name se;eral. But what
about Col. W. H. Hunt, Dr. Geo. B
Cromer, Mr.. John NJ Kinard, Prof.
S. J. Derrick? These are strong men,
and tie people may call them some
day. Newberry has only had one
governor. We must have another be
fore many years.
And / like Newberry governor and
a Newberry United' States senator.
But l am told that Newberry has nev-
er had man in the United States SEN
ate. And this 1as been county for
a long, long time. Il we miss this
good chance we may not have one IN
many years. But am glad | believe
We will not miss it.
II Governor Blease gets to the SEN
ate ne can help Newperry county and
many of her people. He has helped
a lots OF item since he has been gov
ernor. Just look what he has done
for Newberry people, He has given
more appointments to them than to
any other county.
About seven men have been ap-
pointed to places on his military staff.
Se-eral Newberry men have been ap-
pointed as delegates to big meetings,
both in the State and to other States.
There are so many OF these l cant
remember them all, and WON'T try to
name any, for fear of leaving out
some. All this adyertises our county
though, and let people Know Newber-
ry, S. c., is on the map.
two men from Newberry have been
appointed regents Of the State Asylum,
one on the State hospital commission,
one on the State Peaitentiary board,
a Newberry lawyer appointed as
special judge, another Newberry law
yer appointed to sit as Judge of the
supreme court A Newberry physician
has been appointed by the governor on
the board of the State Medical Col
lege. About ten men from this county
have been appointed as State const-
bles. One man has been made an as
sistant bank examiner One young man
of this county is State electrician, ap-
pointed by Gov. Blease, and he offer
ed the position to another Newberry
man frs. who declined it. Through
Governor Blease three young ladies,
all daughters of widows, have been
given employment in the engrosslng
