derstand the views of a men who
advises people to first break the law
by selling their votes, and then vio4
late the promise by refusing TO- de-
liver the goods. Had Mr.. Rector
advised any Of the followers OF
Mr.. Blease to take a stick and
knock down any man who offered
to buy their votes, he would still
have shown that he has but a poor
estimate of the men who are sup
porting his candidate, but at the
same time he might have had the
consolation of knowing that he tried
to keep them on the straight road.
In this connection we believe the
records shows that the Sheriff has
failed to convict, or even to arrest,
n of the men engaged in the lille
gal traffic in other mems votes. The
Sheriff should lost no time in seeing
that both the sellers and buyers are
nut behind the bars where they can
no longer kill the votes of honest
men. =

"ovER THE TOP" is SCOOP OF
YEAR, SAYS MANAGER KAY

Manager Kay, of the Opera House
has scored the scoop of years in mo-
ton pictures by obtaining cover the
Top" the Vitagraph special in which
Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey, au-
thor of the famous book, appears in
the leading role. "Over the Top
will be shown at the opera house on
Friday, Aug. 9th. He is planning to
make it one of the biggest events in
history of the theatre, and will have
special decorations and music dur
ing the run of the picture.

A LIBEL.

According to n of the Green
vile papers, Sheriff Rector in his
introduction of Mr.. Blease, who
spoke there last week, said
stat in a certain drug store in
that city as much as one thousand
dollars changed hands in the cleo
ton two years ago, t the inference
being that votes were bought at
tHsat time, and advised his hearers
that if money were offered them
This year for their votes, they should
accept it and then vote to suit
themselves.
1t seems to us that those people
who have been charging the follow
es of MI. Blease with selling out
gn him two years ago have a very
poor opinion of the class of men
who are supporting him; and Sheriff
Rector evidently has a poorer opin-
ION of them than anyone who has
yet spoken. We have always heard
chat there should be honor even
among thieves, and we do not I'M

WHO HAL 1T BE?

Though they will not speak at
the same meeting, all the candidates
for the long term in the United
States Senate will speak in Able
vile on next Saturday. The regular
meeting will be held in the Opera
House at about 1890 o'clock, in
the morning, and Mr.. Blease, accord
ing to an advertisement offered this
paper, will speak in the Court House
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Par

in hearing all the candidates may do
SO by being IN Abbeville on next
Saturday.
The election to be held for this
Office on August 9th. is one Of the
most important we have held in
some years. The people will on that
day select a representative who will
; speak their views not only now on
the war, but who will be their
spokesman for six years to come.
. He will have one of the deciding
votes in the Senate of the United
States on all questions during that
time, and there has not been a
more important day for us since the
foundation of the Republic.
!, 1t becomes the duty of the citizen,
then, to inform himself as to the
candidates who are running; he
should know their views and what
they stand for; he should study
their records and examine their
standing in the political life of the
state and nation. Most of all he
should determine for himself which
n of the three candidates will best
represent the views, the correct
views, of the people of this state on
the questions arising out of the
great war; and which is the most
competent to speak for this COM
monwealth in the settlement of the
great international questions which
VIII follow the war.
The courage of the men overseas
IS being tested by fire and sword on
the battlefield, and the courage,
honesty and loyalty of all candi-
dates should be able to stand a test
not less exacting.
