Sam Nichols has announced mis- in
tention to indorse Postmaster Fike
for re-appointment, and coupled with
his announcement is a statement
that he will distribute his favors to
'Nichollsites" regardless of "Blease-
ite" affiliations. There is no OBJECTION
to Mr.. Fike so far as We are concern
ed: but we cannot forego a remark or
two On the subject. When Blease
openly announced that none but
Bleasites should apply for favors, the
policy was emphasized as "Bleaseism'
and was roundly denounced, as un-
democratic, unjust, outrageous and all
that. Nichols proposition, of course,
is "Bleaseism" of the same kind. But
it is also 'tManningism, and it is the
rule of all of them. None of them
are going to appoint their opponents
TO office and why should they If Il
man believes he stands for right
things and right politics, how can he
figure that the man who is opposins
him in those policies is also right
Yorkville Enquirer.
And the same people who are prais-
ing and commencing Sam Nichols for
this appointment are the same ones
who condemned Blease for sticking
to his friends in the making of ap-
pointments. We always did take the
position that man who had patron
age would be fool to give the jobs
to his enemies. And mighty few OF
them do it. Had you ever noticed
that? They may talk about being
non bipartisan and all that, but when
the show down comes they give the
jobs to their friends, and as We see
it they should.

One of the best features of the
Webb law is the erimp it puts in the
fellow who believes in prohibition for
other folks but knows just where to
get his own supply.-Anderson Mail.
That is true as We have aforetime
remarked. A whole lot of the prohi-
bitionists are like we heard a distin-
guished judge remark once when he
was asked if he would take a drink.
He had been prohibition legislator.
He answered the inquiry as to the
drink by rising and remarking that
he was a political prohibitionist. A
lot of people voted for prohibition
with the understanding that such u
law would not interfere with the GAL
lon a month law. True, the sentiment
is growing very rapidly for absolute
prohibition, and it is coming, and a
gallon a month is not prohibition. II
We are to have prohibition let there
be prohibition real and true.

Now, if only last summer Mr.. Man
ming had called Gn right strong this
idea of putting sheriffs under the pow
er of the governor. perhaps We would
Eot be hearing so much about it at
this time. But then, of course, it Is
perfectly all right to allow the peo-
pie to amend the constitution in any
way that they see ft.-Yorkville En-
quirer.
That is very true. And then did
you notice that the State says that
if this thing did not work we'll, which
We suppose if there should be a gov
ernor not of their liking. the law
could be amended or repealed. But
as we understand the decision of the
supreme court in that Kershaw case
it is that it would take an amendment
to the constitution to confer this
power on the governor, and if it di,!
and the legislature should be foolish
enough to submit it to the people.
there would be another governor be-
fore the thing became operative. But
it is not likely that the people will
consent to confer that much autocrat-
ic power On any governor in this dem
ocratic country. But there is no tell
ing what they will do.

If the people had just taken our

but they are very much like the Ar

pecially need the work at that time,

The main trouble with most OF our

A merchant in Greenville has an
nounced that he will close his store
every day at six, except on Saturday,
when he will close at eight. Why
don't the merchants of every town
get rid of this late Saturday and
weekday hours ?-Orangeburg Times
and Democrat.
Well, why not get the legislature to
pass a law. That is the way to cor
rect the evil Really, there is no
use to keep stores open so late on
Saturday night. and it seems to us
that it would be wise to have Ia"
fixing the hours of work of clerks
just as we'll as to have the hours for
the mill operatives limited. why
not? But then is there not law
now which requires that stools for
women clerks shall be provided 50
that they may sit down sometimes,
especially when they are not busy.
How many merchants provide these
as required by the law? But the
remedy is to pass law.

CONVICT WITH SMALLPOX
RECaPTURED AND RETUR RNED

Jim Johnson, colored, who was put
on the changing for life under con-
viction of murder, and later placed
in the pest house with a case of small
poX, after escaping on Sunday even
ing just about dusk, has been recap
tured and returned to his temporary
place Of abode, and the colored
preacher, Bracey, who had guarded
him has been arrested and bonded
in connection with the escape of the
prisoner.
A message was received Tuesday
night at the sheriffs Office that the
negro hal been seen in the upper
part of the county. Deputy ". S
| Melton was sent in pursuit Wednes-
day morning, and ten minutes after
! eleven o'clock Wednesday night he
had turned the prisoner back into the
pest house, after a long and slow
; journey in which the negro had to
walk. Quick work for quick Melton
Johnson was caught by the Messrs
| Jim and Pope Connolly at Godseys
a little place in Greenwood county
just beyond Dyson. Good for the
Connellys.
Alter escaping from the pest house
Johnson maze his way across the
, steel bridge over the Saluda river
then recrossed at Old Town and tray
eied on up through the country until
caught as above related He says
F-acy had left some citizens clothes
and an axe in the cell. Johnson took
the clothes and the axe with him Sun
diy night. Between the pest house
and Bush river he cut his shackles
loose with the axe, changed clothes
and threw his convict garb in hole
of water this side of the river
The early recapture of the negro is
due to the foresight of Sheriff Blease
in having a picture and description
of the negro printed in the State
newspaper. The sheriff deserves the
thanks of the entire county for this
good work which, however, is only
in keeping with his alertness in the
discharge Of his duties in the high
and important Office that he holds.

THE STATE PAYS THE BILL

Last Wednesday, the Southern rail-
way operated a special train of nine
coaches from Columbia to Charles
ton under the "pretense" of taking
the members of the legislature to see
conditions at the South Carolina Med
ical college and the Citadel. The
colleges paid the expenses of the trip
and the State of South Carolina by
appropriation paid it back. The edl-
tor Of The Tribune was on the scene
when the train left Columbia and
knows OF his own knowledge that only
about 20 Per cent of the legislators
took advantage of the trip, and be-
lleves that 50 per cent Of those who
went, had some affinity as a COM
panion for good time-if they didn I

train, knowing that Charleston would
set 'em up until they felt" it. Take
it from Us, we know that bunch. as
wall as Columbia and Charleston
Dabit, haven't We been. down the
pike?-Anderson Tribune.
We don't know about the "cooing'
and the "wooing" and the booze, -
but you are right about the expense
and the usefulness of these trips, and
the State at last has to pay the ex-
pense. And the trips are made 10
make the legislator friendly to the
institution, so that he will not oppose
the appropriations asked for the
institution, whether it be a college
or any other State institution. But
then we do know that they all haa

ton, because Charleston knows how
to give the stranger good tine,
and she never does things by halves.

Under the head of prohibition pa
radoSes" the Greenwood Index gets
off the following:
There are exactly 2,543 counties
in all the States Of these United
States. All but 355 counties are dry,
and some of the 355 are partially
dry.
"In 1890, the per capita consump-
ton Of whiskey in this country was
thirteen gallons year. This includes
beer of course. Today the annual
per capita consumption in this coun-
try is twenty-five gallons a year"
The wet counties must have great
ly increased their capacity, or the
prohibitionists are hitting it pretty
hard.

Neither need the whims of the public

of the large majority Of the operas in

the most obvious lesson taught by this
review of twenty-six years of activity at
the Metropolitan Opera House would
seem to be that it would he wiser to
build up a larger repertory of standard
works than to spend time and money
upon novelties Of doubtful value. We
cannot persuade ourselves that all Of
the new works which have been with
drawn after a few performances failed
because Of want Of merit. No doubt the
whims Of singers and the public have
had much to do with the matter But
the whims of singers ought not to be
