in power.
Asserting that the newspaper re-
port of a certain speech made by Cole
L. Blease before the student body of
Allen University several weeks ago
was a false and pernicious report" "
a resolution introduced calling on
Mr.. Blease to 'give a resume of his
utterances on that occasion" In an
swer to the resolution, Blease, in a
bitter statement claimed that the
speech was garbled and made a sharp
attack on the reporter who wrote it.
He also paid his compliments to
other newspaper men and various
newspapers.

We received notice from the post
master at Rogers to discontinue the
Pod to a wealthy citizen. We have
given this man and his family num-
Der of nice notices in the columns of
this paper, and some Of them were so
we'll written that they appeared not
only in the dailies of this State, but
were even copied in the New York
dailies. A son won high honers at
college-we wrote him up in our lest
style; another member of the family
married-we published column
writeup of the wedding; two of the
family had been in the hospital
each got consoling notice from the
Pod. If they had undertaken to buy
all this with money they would have
failed. 1t cost money to put the no.
tices in type, and money to buy the
paper to print them on. For this eN-
penditure of money we receive dis
courteous notice on his part from the
postmaster to discontinue his paper.
Under the circumstances, had he been
as good as he thinks himself to be.
he would have written and asked the
amount he was in arrearage and
would have sent the little 80 cents
he owed on the paper, along with a
courteous request to discontinue it.
The trouble with these people is that
they have some money, and little Of
the education that money can buy,
and they think that they are better
than other people, and it is their
business to show other people tcy:
smart they are. Well, it just makes
us tired, that's all.-Pea Ridge Pod
The editor who wrote the above
has yet the learn that while much is
expected Of the home newspaper, a
great many people do not consider
that the newspaper has any right to
ask anything in return. Many peo-
pie -Smost Of them we believe-ap-
preciate everything that the home pa
per does for them individually and
for the town and county in which it
is published, but there are just any
number Of people who think the
newspaper is doing nothing but dis
charging it's duty when it does these
things. I In fact, it seems, great
many people do not consider that
there is a business end to the news
paper at all. Contrary to a popular
belief, newspapers are not run for
pleasure or pastime, and when they
fail to make livelihood for the pub
fishers, it is safe to say there will not
be many newspapers printed. How
ever, we believe it to be a genuine
pleasure for newspapers to serve the
people, and there is no use to say
they do not like to be both appreciat-
ed and supported as we'll as any other
business or institution.

NO ORGANIZED BOLT.
Blease Men in Caucus Take Steps to
Rehabilitate Reform Faction.

Columbia, Oct. 24.-The Blease
faction in caucus here tonight formal
ly adopted a resolution which shows
that there will be no organized bolt
from the Democratic State ticket.
They took steps to attempt the re-
habilitation of the minority faction
by the appointment of a central COM
mittee> to call another convention.
The caucus was held in the court
house, the Blease partisans cheering
their leader continuously.
The following resolution, intro
duced by John G. Richards, was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, by the Reformed Demo
Gratis of South Carolina, in conven-
ton assembled, that we do hereby
reaffirm our allegiance to the Demo
cratic party, and to the Democratic
principles, State and NATIONAL
Grievances Recited.
In the course of a long resolution,
which recited the grievances of the
so-called reformed faction" intro
duced by C. C. Sims, in this connec-
'tion, ''Still we would be the last to
encourage any division of the white
voters of this State which might tend
to lead to an appeal to an alien race. y
This resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Upon the adoption of the resolu-
tion a prepared list was read out by
the chairman as follows:
State at large, w. A. James, OF
Lee; o. L. Johnson, of Spartanburg.
By districts: First, John P. Grace,
of Charleston; Second, E. R. Buck
ingham, of Aiken; Third, James N.
Pearman, of Anderson; Fourth, Riley
J. Rowley, of Greenville; Fifth, I. j.
Campbell, of York; Sixth, Thomas P.
Brown, of Florence; Seventh, ]. B.
Addy, of Lexington.
The platform adopted was merely a
reiteration of Blease's campaign
speeches, the platform having been
introduced by Thomas F. Brantley,
of Orangeburg. !.
Reafirming their allegiance to the
Democratic party, State and national
boldly and hotly asserting that their
candidate for governor in the last
primary election was nominated, but
that this nomination was "sto!en" by
fraudulent methods, and listening to

The New York World and the Ne1

The New York World and the New
York Herald, newspapers of national
circulation and influence, say that the
Hughes campaign has fallen fiat, and
tht the political tide is fast turning
to Wilson. Hughes, says the Herald
is much weaker than his party, while
Wilson is decidedly stronger than his
party. It is true that there are moi
sufficient Irregular" Democrats in the
country to elect Wilson, but in the
great West, the voters are not rock
bound to any party, and usually vote
on issues rather than for any party
The president has had the greatest
reception in the West ever accorded
any man, according to the press dis
patches.

; The Greenwood Journal has been
deprecating the presence of a carni-
val at the county fair there a week
or two ago. Some of the show were
so bad, it says, that the mayor had
them closed up. The Journal Won
ders if something cannot be done to
keep carnivals away. There is a
very simple remedy-a remedy that
has been applied for some time in
this county. And that is for the
county authorities to enforce the Ii
cense law in regard to- attractions
showing under tent or tents. There
is State license of s100 per day for
tent shows. Since this law has been
enforced here, there have been no
carnival shows or any other kind of
tent shows.

Cotton is selling for an unheard of
price. 1t was IS 1-2 in Bamberg
Tuesday, and will probably be twenty
cents soon-maybe higher. We do
not think that it is good thing for
the country for cotton to bring such
a high price at. this season of the
year. The great bulk of the crop
has been, sold, and the present prices
will do the farmers very little good.
The soaring price of cotton will carry
with it high prices for everything
else, and most Of the people will be
better off if cotton should hold up
for a while.
