he has nothing to apologize for and
never did and never will apologize
and the cheers Of his friends drown
out the remainder Of his battle-charge
barrage.
Then Mr.. Blease takes fling at the
"hostile press" and that generally in
cludes all the larger newspapers of
the state and the South, not to men
ton the nation at large. He attacks
high taxes and those in office who
impose them, gives his opinion Of the
creation Of new offices to be filled with
political Neposes, declares undying
devotion to. the laboring mans cause
and 50 on, until the driving, dynamic
concluding rhetoric is again drowned
out nj the cheers of his friends. He
knows the chords to play upon.
It would be long story to continue
this narrative to it's logical conclusion. 1.
Mr.. Blease Is in class by himself.
He would have made good as an ac-
tor. He might have shone in the
business world as a captain Of in
dustry, or possibly he could have been
wearing the shoulder straps Of a
lieutenant general. He is versatile
There is no gainsaying that fact. But
he chose the law and the political
hustings for his very own and these
mistresses have never found him a
Stalker. He is a spellbinder but he
is not.any more like the late Senator
("Piehtork") Tillman than Senator
Tillman was like the dignified and
erudite General Wade Hampton.
The one thing that has caused the
comeback Of Mr.. Blease in the politi-
cal domain of South Carolina politics
is the. after -the-war reconstruction,
incidental hard times. due to the cot
ton fbif VT. vii md high taxes. Mr. {.
Blease is tp,.t,cd to the hard times,
the high. taxes and the floods, of
course, but SO is most everybody
else. Only Mr.. Blease is smart
enough to capitalize on those distress
ing csnditicns. Tbs Coal Blaze an

South Carolina, officials Of the Exten-
son Division for several states, veter-
an leaders Of the $4,000 tobacco grow
ers will address the farmers of South
Carolina whose last chance to sign
up their 1922 crop with the market
ing association will soon be over.
Why tobacco sold in Kentucky
through the Cooperative Association
brought s29. per hundred while bur-
ley tobacco on the auction floors av-
eraged less than s21. will be told by
members of the Farmers Burley Pool.
Tobacco growers are coming all the
way from Kentucky to tell why 90
per cent of the hurley farmers have
signed the Cooperative Marketing
Contract and to explain why three
thousand new members rushed into
thei rassociation after the second pay
ment on their tobacco was made last
month.
c. E. Marvin. famous stock raiser
and tobacco grower of Lexington,
Kentucky, who stirred thousands of
farmers to action in Eastern North
Carolina on his recent tour, is ex-
pected to be with the South Carolina
orou,ore
Mr.. Marvin told the tar heel grow
ers why Kentucky farmers who could
never get loans from their local banks
before, can now raise hundreds of
dollars even after receiving their first
and second payments on tobacco,
through the Association.
The sign-up of South Carolina
growers continues to increase follow
ing the meeting Of warehouse man
ayers for the association held in Flor
ence last week.
Prominent tobacco planters from
South Carolina who have joined the
association within the last few Gays
are George Holiday Of Aynor, Horny
County, J. c.. Davis of Centenary,
one Of the most prominent planters of
lower Marion county and Warren
Godbold we'll known farmer of lower
Marion county.

As the boys up in the woolhat dis
sr;ct vould put it, ''Coa, Blaze's' hat
Ia In the ring and all doubt aoout
the gubernatorial campaign being a
n;nk-tea affair in South Carolina this
autunn has passed. AS we write that
the Honorable Cole Livingston Blease
Is again in the bat tie zone, with a
third term in the governorship as his
goal. the mauve syrnga lends its frag-
rance to the zenhyrs OF spring and
the ringin intonasions Of the one-gai-
,ps voters of the commonwealth, who
are for Blease first, last and all the
time.
The Blease boom came up with the
crocus, but it failed to pass out Win
the pussy willow It hangs on IKE
high taxes and red mud in the pleo-
mont section, because Mr.. Blease.
known from the mountain tops OF
Dark Corners to the sands or the sea
at Charleston, as "the stormy petrei
OF politics. never yet has shown the
white feather. He is as fond OIL
political battle as a bulldog, ana ne
never quits until his jaws are pr1eo
or his friends succeed in carrying
hn to higher channels.
When Mr.. Blease, then serving MS
second term as governor, resigned that
office in 1915, he, had the stage SET
for him to step into the United States
Senate, but it proved even for an ex-
pert politician and near-statesman' as
he was at that time, a case or TOO
many cooks spelling the broth. And
so instead OF rgoing to the Senate, Mr..
Blease resumed the practice 'of law
in Columbia. In matters Of criminal
JURISPRUDENCE, there are few law
yers OF the capital city who know the
law as he knows it, and still fewer
who can even approximately match
his wits at the bar when it comes to
wrinpine a verdict from a jury.
Mr.. Blease began his political
career, as far as state estimation is
concerned, in 1896 when he became
a presidential elector, but he had
been a member Of the South Carolina
House OF Representatives. and
Speaker, pro TEN, Of that body from

the state and speak once in every
county. They generally travel er
masse, adhering to a schedule ar
ranged by the executive committee.
This round Of speechnaking and
hand-shaking comes always in the
summer months. when mems tenn
ners are, at best, eccentric. But this
is a slack time for farmers and South
Carolina is an agricultural state. The
county-to-county method is a decided
ADVANTAGE to the stump speaker, par
ticularly since the campaigner can
usually beat the metropolitan newspa- l.
per to the audience.
Then, too, in South Carolina, poll
tics is more than politics. 1t IS a
recreation, a part Of life, a thing in
which the citizen at large has a big
interest, a medium through which
men express themselves. For this
reason political fight is usually as
welcome in the rural districts Of South
Carolina as genuine circus. Men
gather at the county seats from viii
lagos and country-sides. far away. Au-
tomobiles are parked with rare aban-
donment, but there are yet remaining
in this state many buggies and farm
wagons and they are in evidence at
these political meetings. Another
unusual feature of the South Carolina
political gathering is that scores OF
Negroes are there, not that they ex-
pect to vote, but they want to hear
the jokes that they feel sure they will
hear from the candidates.
At some central place, platform
is erected and the candidates appear
on it to tell the opening joke about
themselves or their opponents, for the
fortjeth time. In past campaigns
generally the opponents of Blease
have spoken first. One after the
other they have their say and then
. the time arrives for Mr.. Blease to
speak. Instantly there is wave OF
animation. Any stranger could pick
out Cole Blease from those who op-
pose him, for their faces are expect
ant. "Tell 'em about it, Coley,'
shouts a man out in the crowd, and
instantly the Blease men, scattered
wiedly al Through the audience
shout abck such enthusiastic answers
as, <'Hell tell EN- and "Lawsy-
massy, amt he a mani
Mr.. Blease runs his fingers through
his long bushy hair, takes a sip OF
water, smiles, as his fighting jawbone
gets ready for action, and launches
into his speech, with his sleeves rolled
up and a dare for any contender
plainly written on his banner. He
denounces his enemies, either persona!
or political, lauds his friends, declares

NeW:berry County even before that
campaign. AS presidential elector
he soon won popularity on the stump.
He has been in office most Of the
time since he was licensed to prac-
tice law, except during the last decade
having been mayer Of his city, repre-
sentative of his county and district
in the South Carolina House and Sen
ate, and twice governor Of the state.
He is a. candidate, he says, now, not
because it will satisfy any persona!
ambition, but because his friends in
sist on his saving the state.
And when the picturesque individual
whom the loyal Bleaseites refer to as
Coal Blaze, or just plain Cooley gets
on the hustings, we are ready. to in
form the six or eight aspiring gentle
men who also have their hats in the
gubernatorial ring, that they will
know that they have been in fight
when the smokescreen lifts next No
ven,ber. For be it known that the
Honorable Cole Livingston Blease is
the equal of the late Representative
(Private) John Allen, of Mississippi,
when it comes to repartee, as witty
as the eminent Senator John Sharpe
Williams in political storytelling and
as yindictive as Thomas Bracket
Reed ever was in debate.
With these splendid equipments on
the stump, coupled with the fact that
Mr.. Blease knows the political his
tory Of practically every public man
in South Carolina, he is well-nigh
impregnable. And as he has an
nounced that he will speak in every
county in the commonwealth before
the primaries close this year, the rank
and file Of the men voters are pre-
dieting a hot time in the old state this
year. AS far as the women voters
are concerned, there is an element
of doubt, but MIR. Blease says he cal
cuIates to get his share Of that: vote
because he was consistent opponent
of woman suffrage, but warm sup
porter of the law when the majority
put it across.
The strength of Blease, by ione
odds the most talked-of man in South
Carolina, and the causes Of Bleaseism
are results Of the social and economic
conditions Of the state, and. of the
quaint manner the one political party
the Democratic, conducts it's cam
paigns here. The primary is all-im-
porrant. The general election is q
mere form. since there is but one set
Of nominees. A rule of the party is
that candidates shall make a tour of
