GOOD PROSPECT OF RAISING
| FUND.
MethOdists Responding to Call OF
Their Colleges.

The Rev. Walter I. Herbert of
Sumter will begin a systematic can
vass Of the Sumter district Of the
South Carolina conference of the
Southern Methodist Church April /,
with a view Of raising minimum of
100000 with which the indebted
ness of the three Methodist colleges,
Wofford, Lander and Columbia, will
De cleared In addition to meeting
the j. jtedness. Mr. Herbert expects
to create an endowment fund
AT the last meeting of the confer
ence at Rock Hill, Mr.. Herbert was
elected commissioner Of education OF
the South Carolina conference in or
der to unity the agencies of the three
colleges, which up to that time had
been working separately. Since that
time Mr.. Herbert has been consider
ing plan whereby money could be
raised to cover the Indebtedness and
create an endowment for the three
colleges OF the conference. This plan
provides that Drs. Snyder, Wilson and
Daniel, presidents Of the colleges
with the aid of committee appoint
ed in each pastorate, shall present to
the churches the question of raising
this sum. With the matter clearly be-
fore the congregations Mr.. Herbert
will then make a trip in person.
ALREADY we have received a great
deal Of encouragement" said Mr..
Herbert yesterday, "and I am glad to
say that several thousand dollars
have been subscribed The need of
taking an educational institution from
under a burdensome indebtedness is
very great. and the value of creating
an endowment, both Of chairs and
scholarships. is almost unlimited. l
believe that with time and faithful
service this sum, which 1 set as the
minimum, will be raised and judging
from prospects and encouragement
that l have received from many quar-
ters l think the time will be a short
one.
The plan we have drawn is salts
factory and practical" Mr.. Herbert
continued, "and 1 hope each pastor
will appoint committee Of not less
than three persons, either men or
women or both, who will Immediately
set to work on the duty to which
they have been assigned. I have con-
ferred with a number Of prominent
Methodists in South Carolina, and all
OF them have assured me of their CO.
operation in seeing that the move
ment is started in their pastorates
When raised. one-half of the sum will
be given to WOfford college, and Lam
der and Columbia colleges will divide
the other half.
This means great deal to South
crn McthOdism," he went on to say,
for we have just seen from the fed
Grafton of the Wesley Bible classes
that the South is looking to South
Carolina to take the lead in Methodist
affairs. An opportunity is given us
to place Southern Methodist educa-
tional institutions on a solid financial
basis. without which it is difficult for
any college to show it's greatest efii-
ciency."

According to the Columbia Record
". P. Pollock attended the elimination
meeting in Columbia and made a
speech in which he stated that Blease
was defeated and that from his visits
to the counties through which the
senatorial candidates had passed that
Blease would not carry county in
the State. The eliminators gave Mr.
Pollock great applause and passed
resolutions by rising vote thanking
him for the patriotic service which
he mad rendered the State.
And then Mr.. Pollock is quoted il
another place as saying that if he fe!,
sure that his withdrawal from the race
for the senate would defeat Blease and
Bleaseism that. he would withdraw
right now. But the Record fails to
tell what was done at the elimina-
ton conference and what candidates
for governor were present and upon
whom the patriots centered for the
people to vote for governor. We
thought that was what it was called
for. We, understood that they we're
already satisfied as to the senatorial
race, but that they were just little
afraid that one of the candidates who
might vote for Blease would be elect
ed governor. We suspect the elimina-
tor got broke about tie time the con-
ference met and therefore they would
take up their time hearing Mr.. Pol
lock speak. We repeat our motto:
Let the people rule.

The Herald and News believes in
fair play and an Lonest election. 1t
never hesitates to express its opinions
and it always accords to every other
one the same right. We are not going
to fall out with any one who may diff
.er with US. We are playing the glad
game t1is year and the little fellows
who bark at our heels can not under
any circumstances provoke US to an
ger. Even if they send US pair OF
crutches instead Of doll we are go
ing to be glad because we don't have
to use them. We advise every one to
keep ccol and in a good humor and
take his medicine like little man.

From the Columbia Records account
of the elimination conference all We
could find that was done was to hear
the speech of Mr.. Pollock and to pass
resolutions commencing the patriot
ism of Mr.. Pollock. 1t seems from the
morning dailies that the eliminators
marched up the hill and down again
and decided that Blease and Bleaseism
was already buried so deep that it was
unnecessary to eliminate. That, at
least, is what is given out. The Rec
ord, however, comes out in one OF
those black type editorials and says
that in its judgment the chances OF
the candidates, is in the order of Coop
er, first; Manning, second, and Clink-
scales, third. Is that really the con-
sensus of opinion of those who were
present, or does taat express only the
opinion of the Record? What will
Smith and Smith and Browning and
Duncan have to say about that? Ac-
cording. to the Record and, at least
by the Record, these gentlemen are
eliminated and it is necessary to elm
mate them to bury Blease and Blease-
ism, although it is already buried be-
yond recognition. 1t is all very
funny proceeding. We repeat our
motto and slogan: Let the people
rule. Whoever the people say taey
want for governor will suit us. We
are not going to try to dictate to them.
The white mans primary was adopted
to get tae will Of the white people.
Let the people rule. And the people
will rule. Please don't forget that
The day when a few men could get
together and say who must be govern
or or who must fill any other Office
has passed. Don't forget that. Rich
ards is a good man. Simms is a good
man. And Irby is all right. Please
don't forget that, If these men are
dead and buried because they say
they are going to vote for Blease what
was the need of tie conference. Mr.
Pollock no doubt knows. Let the peo-
PIE rule

state that Blease is much stronger
