When n Southern man leaves the
Democratic party it usually is fot
the party's good. We were pleased
to read II day or two ago n communi
cation in one of the daily papers
from J. NJ. DesChamps I'm which hr
said, he had turned Republican and
would hereafter affiliate with that
party. 1t is to be hoped that his ma
sal organs are not so good as the nv.
erage South Carolinian's. otherwise
he might not be able to tarry pcrma-
nently with his new found friends.
DesChamps was n candidate. for
governor in the Democratic primary
two years ago. and throughout the
State got about enough votes to
wrap up n ten cent cake OF laundry
soap. Another recent development in
the way OF reflections from the Dem
ocratic party. according to the Rock
Hill Record, lis the announcement OF
Cole L. Blease that he will not vote
for Governor CoX-which is to say
that because The State Is supporting
Governor Cox he is the wrong man
for the presidency. II Blease has
made up his mind not to vote for
Cox. there is little cause for worry
In the fact. but If the former gov
crnor ever again seeks to enter the
Democratic primary either as n can
didate or voter, he should not be al
lowed to do so. There must be party
regularity. else the party will go to
pieces. However. what Blease now
says or does politically Is matter
OF no great consequence. He sang
his swan song at Filbert during the
summer OF 1917 when he announced
his opposition to the country taking
part In the World war, after Ameri-
can soldiers already had reached the
Ring limo.

child with him about four years of

his mail which occupied but very
few moments of time, some one got
INTO the car and started west--little
boy and all, and just as he crossed
the bridge west-of town, he ran the
car into a ditch and smashed it up
pretty badly but fortunately the lit

jumped into a Ford and started after
it but did not catch up with it until
