rect question about the senate race,
| beg to answer by saying that if the
Rcformers wish it | shall make the
campaign as candidate for the
United States regardless of who may
"also run" and l will win unless there
is wonderful change of sentiment
in this state within the next few
months, and in my opinion the
changes will be my way as things
continue to develop along certain
lines. l hope that the campaign will
be pitched upon a high plane and free
from abuse and bitterness, but shall
go in prepared to meet the enemy on
any line that they wish to fight. In
1910, 1912, 1914 and 1916 they began
the dirty work by abusing and Wilt
flying me and l never noticed it until
took the field and handed the dirty
work crowd the best that / could in
return. l do not want to represent
the people in my position unless the
majority wish me so to do and | GER
tainy would not accept an Office that
was obtained for me or by me with
fraud, intimidation, lies and corrup-
ton, and the one who accepts office
so obtained is lower down in the
miro Of rottenncss than the poor half
fed, half-hungry devil that sells his
vote. There may be some excuse for
the latter but none under Gods
heaven for the office holder who ac-
cepts under such conditions and those
who receive favors at his hands will
ct him while he has power and de-
~pisc him when he has no favors that
he can pass around, for they know
that he is unworthy Of even their re-
spect. Conclusive proof of this is the
opinion now held by the majority Of
honest men of some cX- officials Of our
dear commonwealth. They were but
they are not, they have been but they
are not more. Yes, think that you
are right, the ants are very muchly
worried over who to put in the race.
Well, that seems to point to the fact
that they somehow think that Bleasc
is not so "damn Dead" as one of their
leading hcnchmcn expressed it after
the last primary, and of course that
is gratifying to your humble servants
for to be living is pleasant but to be
kindly thought of by the large ma
jority Of your fellowmcn is great.
Personally, it makes little difference
to me whom they fool into the race.

Anderson, Dec. 5.-"As TO your di-
rect question about the senate race,
I beg to answer by saying that if the
Rcformcrs wish it, | shall mako the
campaign as candidate for the
United States senate, regardless Of
who may also run and | will win
unless there is wonderful change of
sentiment in this state within the
next few months, and in my opinion
the changes will be my way" says
Former Governor Bicasc, in letter
To the editor Of the Anderson Tribune,
In response to an inquiry from the
latter as to Mr.. Blcasc's attitude
towards the coming senatorial race.
"We arc going to have 4 mcctin"
in Columbia in January" says the
former governor, "at which we hope
tM have representatives from every
to;inty in the state, not to dictate to
any body, not TO put in anybody, not
TO exclude anybody, but to consult,
talk over matters, advise with each
other and try to do that which is for
tho best intcrcS; Of the pholc people
Of the state"
After strossing the fact that the
Rcformcrs must attend their April
club meetings in tho interest of an
honest party machinery, in order that
the fruits of victory may not again
be stolen from them, Mr. Blcase says
that in his opinion 1--WE should get to-
gcthcr and select men to make the
ight for the people in every county
in the state and then Let US have an
honest, free primary ana let the vot-
crs say by unframed ballot whom
they want in office and let the ajor-
ity control" In unvarnished words
he characterizcs the last gubcrnato-
rial election as corrupt, and controll
cd by "gang of ringsters, who rob
bed him Of victory" but maintain:
that "thc large majority Of the whit,
men Of South Carolina are honest ant
believe in a square deal, and these
aro the men who should go to the
club meetings and the conventions
and sec that honest men are put ir
control Of the party machinery ant
that it is taken out Of the hands ot
gangsters who can be controlled BY
partisans, be they corrupt or not"

WASTE BY FIRE.

Taking note of the great loss of valuable supplies by
fire. the National Board of Fire Underwriters has started
compaign to avert loss in food stuffs COAL lumber
and other valuable products Of course of these
grain elevator and potato warehouse fires have been the
carefully planned accidents arranged by agents of foreign
governments.
But this kind of thing occurs in peace times well
in 1t is always convenient to have German spies
around upon whom lay off the results of
lessness Our matches thrown careessy into waste
boxes will do just efficient work as the Kaisers hired
men. .. N....
Take the single matter of maintenance of inflamabe
waste about business places which, according the fire
men, is frequent of trouble 1t is not merely
that fires start easily in such accumulaons but also that
when started they hard to put out The fireman
may careless merchant of the danger of such
negligence The chances that he laughs it off, know
ing very well that nothing will be done.
The national underwriters plan more thoroughly or
ganzed system of nsnection 1t will pay all its costs.
Insurance agents may be lax in the watch they maintain
fire risks They may fear that if they too fussy
about fire hazards policy holders may place their nsur
ance somewhere else The who persistently main
tans dangerous accumuatons should be threatened with
the loss of his policy
The national attitude is eve are insured therefore
we should worry" Every man should be as careful with
his property if insured if he taking all the
risks If that point of view could generally prevail the
loss by fire in this country could be cut in half in week
And lot of grain potatoes cotton, and all kinds OF high
cost products would be saved for consumption instead OF
being turned into ashes.

ARE PRICES HIGH?.

At prices of year ago. it would have taken SO bushels
of wheat to buy Liberty bond today, be bought
for Is bushels.
Last year. farmer could build so for the price Of
800 bushels of corn today he build the for
the price of 400 bushels.
Last year, it cost community the price of $4,000
bushels Of wheat to build mile of permanent highway
today mile can be built for 5000 bushels.
Last year farmer had to raise thousand bushels Of
wheat to buy the tractor with which to till his field this
year he can buy two tractors for the same amount
Everybody should buy Liberty bond
Was there ever more favorable time to build sio,
to buy tractor, to build permanent highways?
Now is the time to exchange your farm produce for
these necessities.
BY doing this, capital will be created and placed in
circulation. Prosperity will be stimulated labor kept
poyed at good wages The dollar will be kept rolling and
more of citizens enabled to perform their patriotic
duty to buy Liberty bonds.
Let us keep making, selling, transporting and
building.

RAIDlNG GARDENS.

In the outskirts Of the larger towns there always seem
to be people who know the location Of all the promising
crops and who do very good stroke of business

of appointments from the trained in the new camps
There is going to be an intense rivalry All these young
are bent on military and look for the higher
rewards both of glory and money 1t is human nature
to expect that they will work personal pulls Y .SF

nature and good fellowship BY their smooth address and
winsome ways they will ingraate themselves with the
ones higher up and the men In power will be impressed
AT the same time many quiet fellow without social gifts

Of the sodiery gifts 1t will take discrimination to make
appointments solely merit and not be msed by social

Then the report comes from Washington that host

he short and the officials may think they have
making appointments Of unframed on the basis of
the promises they hold out, if not personal pull.
It will be fatal to the morale of the army if the idea
spreads that appointments going to be made through
political influence The who have been doing the
hard work of the training camps and who taking
their work in these camps must be given the preference
over the friends Of politicians.

There should be no curtailment In

both public and private useful con-
struction proceed. Production and

are fundamental industries Of the

sistent with maintaining our pros

Building investors should not hest

Railroads should spare no effort to
supply the building industries with
the cars needed to transport materi-
ais. Government, state. county and
municipal authorities should encour-
age the continuance of all kinds OF
