PADDING THE FIGURES.

The Charleston American multi
plies the actual number of people in
attendance at the Blease meetings by
10, or some convenient number to
make the crowd look large. The
Greenwood Daily Journal says the
people of Greenwood got great
deal of amusement Sunday out of
the Charleston Americans report OF
the meeting held there Saturday
The Columbia Record says the total
vote of Greenwood county is only
about 5000. "Mr. Blease., the Re
cord says, has never carried the
county at all. In 1910 he lost by
195 votes; in 1912 he lost it by 21O
votes. In 1914 he lost it by 42S
votes, and in 1916 he lost it by 279
votes"
Yet, and at time when Biease is
charged with disloyalty. the report
in the Charleston American says:
"lt is predicted that Blease will
carry Greenwood county by up
wards of 1000 majority. Judging
from the signs of the times and the
constantly growing enthusiasm over
his candidacy"
"At Camden" says the Record,
"the American said that there were
between 1,5OO and 1900 people out
to hear Blease. Four citizens of
Camden were asked by the Camden
Chronicle TO estimate the crowd.
Most of them said it was around
800. One said 1t was 500"
The American said the crowd at
Greenwood was $500. At the same
ratio at which the Camden figures
were padded. there were at Green
wood 466 people.
You can fool ali the people some
of the time, and some of the people
all Of the time, but you can't fool all
the people all of the time"

HOW MIR. WILSON FEELS.

President Wilson has addressed a
letter to Thomas II. Daniel, Wash
ingtOn correspondent of the Spartan
burg Herald, which gives his views
on the South Carolina senatorial
race. This letter will not likely be
printed in the Charleston American.
for the American has been printing
stories recently about what MI.
Blease is going to say to the Presi-
dent about his loyalty when he be-
comes senator.
From the letter from President
Wilson, however. it would appear
that he does not care for Blease to
tell him anything He already
knows that Blease is antagonstic to
the administration. The letter fol-
lows:
Let me say that / have perfect
confidence that the people of South
Carolina will judge rightly in the
senatorial contest and ! have not
the least fear that they will believe
that Mr.. Blease is or can be a friend
of the administration. The record
of his opinion is already written and
It is little late to expunge it,"

THE MOTOR MAIL ROUTE.

Announcement is made that the
motor mail route between Orange
burg and Augusta is to begin opera
tions at once. The motor mail will
leave Augusta at six o'clock a. m.
connecting there with the motor
mail line to Columbia. The News
and Courier of Charleston says it is
not to Charleston's interest that
that city is shut out of participating
in the scheme. The only thing
that shuts us out of having a motor
mail route between Orangeburg and
Charleston is the condition of the
road leading from Charleston to
Orangeburg. This is one of the main
highways of the state. 1t is the
principal road out of Charleston
Before now there have been urgent
I leasons why it should be made into
a really first class highway. There
can be no satisfactory excuse for
continuing to leave it as it is; es-
recially if, as the Orangeburg paper
says. the principal trouble now
seems to be the belgian blocks GO
ing into Charleston and portion of
the Charleston road above the
blocks, which has been cut up by
trucks"
The News wonders what has be-
come of the motor mail route which
was to be established between Cam
oen, Lancaster and Charlotte. If
our memory serves us right, tenta-
tive schedules were prepared for it,
and bids asked for. We are not GER
tain that it reached this stage, but
we can imagine that it met the same
fate as the Charleston -Orangeburg
line. The road from Lancaster to
the North Carolina line is at this
time in fine condition, but the Char
lotte end is anything but good In
winter, however, we suspect the
Charlotte end is nearer passable
than our end. And we suspect that
the reason the plan to establish the
motor mail line was abandoned can
be traced to the condition of this
road.

SCISSORS AND PASTE.
The U-Boats or Our shores.

charleston News and Courier
All the varieties OF frightfulness
which the submarines have practiced
in European waters will be practiced
in our waters also if the Huns get
the opportunity. Now they are sink
ing our fishing boats. Some harrow
ing stories have been told, stories
that were certainly true, concerning
the barbarity of the German raids on
British fishing craft and the enemy
will seek to employ the same meth
DDS on this side of the ocean. That
is one of the things we have to ex-
pect.
Submarine operations in American
waters seem to have become an es-
tablished part of the German under
sea campaign. The enemy seems to
be maintaining a number OF subma-
rines, probably small number,
constantly off the Atlantic coast. We
are dealing, therefore, not with
sporadic raids with long intervals of
inactivity, but with a sustained and
continuous effort. Obviously this
neccssitates an elaborate and extern
sive offensive and defensive campaign
on our part against the U-boats in
American waters.
Ant-submarine operations on this
side of the ocean will be planned and
carried out. il to be hoped
without Withdrawing any of the ma
val forces which we have sent to Gu
ropean waters. Probably one object
of the enemy in sending U-boats here
is to bring about the withdrawal of
some or all of the war vessels which
we have sent TO the other side We
must, If possible. disappoint this
hope of the German Admiralty. The
problem created by the continued
presence OF U-boats in these waters
must be dealt with but il should be
handled without weakening our
forces in the more important naval
strategic areas.

STORY Is DELAYED.

The story, The Kaiser as | Knew
Him for Fourteen Years" which The
News intended to begin today. has
been delayed and will not be begun
before next week and probably the
week following. This delay is oc-
casioned by the fact that the people
from whom we buy the plates have
not yet stereotyped them and we
have been notified that shipment
will be made just as soon as the
stereotyping has been done.
The Kaiser as | Knew Him for

Family Reunion at the Palace

The gay and charming Lucille Cav
anagh dances cleverly and light
heartedly at the Palace this week. We
cannot report the merit of her one
song-because it was sung in so mod
est voice yesterday that it was quite
inaudible. The voice of such a pleas
ing person, if it could be heard, would
be sure to prove nice one.
The sentimental atmosphere proper
to family reunion pervaded the
theatre. The reunion of the Morton
family was witnessed by an audiance
predisposed in favor of the numerous
Morton clan. First came Clara, solo.
in songs and dances. Then came Paul
Morton and Naomi Glass, with songs
and jokes anent matrimony. Then the
-Four Mortons-Sam and Kitty, the
elders, and Martha and Joe, youthful
sprlgs-in an act appropriately called
Then and Now" Then the whole fam
lily together.
The Avon Comedy Four, erstwhile OF
the Legitimate" remain for another
week in the hospitablc atmosphere of
the Palace. Other acts are the Gardiner
Trio, Felix Rush. in a musical sketch
entitled "Crosby's Corners" and Leroy,
Talma and Bosce, in mystery act.
