 "We cannot easily tell these women that if they cease to smear their necks with cosmetics the pearls will retain their color, and even improve with time. A pearl thrives only when worn near the natural skin. It deteriorates so badly when worn over a painted neck that after half dozen seasons it loses con- siderable part of its money value.

THE ISSUE NEXT TUESDAY.

The fight is on and the issue is
plain. Democrats cannot neglect
nor escape their duty. 1t is Democra-
cy against Joe W. Tolbert's Republi-
canism. There are plenty Of good
people voting for Blease and they
are as good Democrats as anybody,
and not all of the anti-Blease peo-
pie are saints by any manner of
means nor have they monopoly OF
patriotism and brains. We are all
South Carolinians and desire the
good of our state, but, good people
on both sides, do not be fooled this
time. It is a we'll known fact that
Blease and Joe Tolbert are friends.
Blease went to Washington and as
sisted Tolbert in retaining his job as
distributor of federal jobs, he wrote
a letter in his behalf which has been
made public, and in this letter he
stated that he (Blease) rejoiced at
the election of Harding. Tolbert
wanted to appoint Blease district at
torney, and the department of JUS
tice said he had issued too many
pardons and publicly endorsed lynch
ing while governor and therefore the
administration could not appoint him
on account of this record. Tolbert
has talked to the writer about Blease;
he has told people that Blease has
assisted him in making appointments;
and it is a fact that if Blease opposes
a man for any federal job in South
Carolina Joe Tolbert will not recon-
mend him and he will not be appoint
ed. This is not hearsay; we know
what we are talking about.
A few weeks ago Tolbert issued a
call for state convention of his
"Union Republican party" to meet
in Columbia, but only short time
ago a meeting was held in Columbia
and the date Of the convention was
POSTPONED until after the second
Democratic primary. Why was this
done? 1t is our candid opinion that
if Blease is defeated in the Demo-
cratic primary next Tuesday, he will
be nominated for governor by Toll
bert's convention. Look at the state
ment from the Yorkville Enquirer,
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1922-09-07
SOME TAX FIGURES.

We have shown in another article
that not only did Blease fail to re-
duce taxes when he was governor
hut that he actually raised them.
The figures taken from the report OF
the comptroller general for 1914
shows that the Blease administration,
while it raised the tax levy from
: "a to six mills, actually left a debt
ON the state for that year of S4oZ,-
1928. They spent in that year this
amount more than their tax levy OF
six mills brought in. In addition to
this. the Blease administration Dor-
roved hundred of thousands Of dol
lars from the sinking fund commls-
sion which later administrations had
to pay back.
For two years of Manning's admin
istration there was surplus instead
of q deficit. One year it was s2l6,-
693.s6 and another s2SS,7SS.4O. We
only wish we had the space this week
to publish all the figures of the Blease
administration, for they would De
convincing to anyone we feel sure.
But we are printing enough to SHOW
absolutely that his administrator
was not an economical one; that ne
did not reduce taxes but actually

There is difference in the appro-
priations for above items of sr.749,-
S63.S5 for 1922 as against 1914.
Now, if he is honest in saying he
favors schools, etc, he certainly can
not be opposed to the appropriations
mentioned above. The money for
schools is going to help put school
in reach of every white child-the
common schools-the state hospital
is caring for practically double the
number of persons now it was in 1914
and yet the cost Of living has largely
increased. Will any one deny the
Confederate veterans the amount
they are now receiving, even if it is
double the amount given them under
Blease's last year? Does any man
want to see Winthrop college Grip
pied? The increase in that appropri-
alton is going to educate the poor
girls of this state, and it is the only
college we have where a poor man
can educate his daughter and there
by make her self-supporting. We
challenge Blease or any other man
to make campaign in favor Of re-
ducing any of the appropriations
named above, and also to declare
himself now in favor of cutting any
one of them. He nor any other can
didate is against them, for they know
full we'll they dare not be.
But, suppose h. says he is. With
his tax levy for 1914 six mills and
1922 seven mills, with more than a
million and a half dollars more ap-
propriated for these few items alone,
to say nothing of increases in appre-
priations for other worthy causes for
the benefit of the poor man, how in
the name of common sense is he 60
ing to reduce any tax levy when we
will pay this year only one mill more
taxes than when he was governor?
Taxpayers, do not be fooled by the
generalties INDUCED in by Mr..
Blease. He does not get down to
figures when he talks about reduc-
ing taxes, but we are giving the facts
from the official records.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1922-09-07

There is only one daily newspaper
in South Carolina supporting Blease
for governor and that is the Charles
ton American, disloyal sheet which
abused Woodrow Wilson and favored
the German cause throughout the
war. 1t has shown decided Republi-
can tendencies since that time. Only
a few days ago it contained an edl-
torial strongly endorsing Harding
and in the same issue advocated the
election of Blease. We trust the vot-
ers of Bamberg county will under
stand that in bringing out all these
matters-in fact in every line we
have written-we are not attempting
to dictate to them how they shall
vote. We are giving them the facts
in order that they may see what the
issue is before us just now.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1922-09-07

The writer has known Thos. G..
Mcleod for nearly thirty years, lived
in same town with him for some time,
and we know him to be a high-toned
Christian gentleman, one whose prl-
vate life and public career is clean
as a hounds tooth. Not one word
has been uttered against him, nor
can be truthfully. He has not men
toned it during the campaign, but
we know he was member OF the
exemption board in his county and
practically gave up his private busl-
ness to help win the war, giving his
time and his money for this purpose.
He came to Bamberg during that try
ing period and made an address,
which was one of the best we ever
listened to. He showed his patriotism
while his opponent was going around
the state making speeches opposing
the war and in favor of the enemy.
The people of Bamberg owe debt
of gratitude to Tom Mcleod. They
can show this gratitude by giving
him tremendous majority over the
pro-German candidate next Tuesday,
and we believe they will do so.

We are devoting considerable space
this week to political matters, for
which we have no apologies. We
are simply working for the good OF a
state where we were born, where we
have always lived, and where we ex-
pect our bones to rest. In advocating
the election of Thos. G.. Mcleod as
governor we know that we are doing
what is best for all our people, al
though many of our good frienGs do
not agree with US. We are not par
tisan, we have no criticism for any
one, and we regret very much that
all South Carolinians cannot unite on
some good man and put an end to
factions within the party. But Blease
has always been storm center and
always will be. There can be no
peace as long as he is political fac
tor.

In political advertisement pub
1ished in The Bamberg Herald of its
issue under date of September Sth,
1910, signed "Cole L. Blease," he
used this language: II have sought
to place my campaign upon a high
plane, seeking the votes Of the peo-
pie only on my own merits. If elect
ed will be the governor Of the whole
people, without regard to section or
class" The people took him at his
word and elected him over c. e.
Featherstone, and how did he keep
his pledged word ''to be governor of
the whole people?" After his nomi-
nation those who had opposed him
publicly said they would uphold his
hands, and yet his inaugural address
