The Columbia. State Excited.

The Columbia State is getting excited
by it's fears that Blease may be elected
unless some revolutionary methods
are adopted to create prejudice.
1t certainly Slipped it's trolley in
its editorial of the 14th instant, asking
the voters to place candidates for gov
ernor upon their vor dire, as to the ex
ercise OF the pardoning power.
The candidate who would pledge
himself not to issue pardon to gain
votes, would be as contemplate as one
who promised to issue one, and either
would be beneath the respect Of a
NANCY dog. Does the Columbia State
propose to substitute a hand primary
in a political campaign for the man.
date of the constitution?
This policy is more subversive Of
law and order than anything which has
been said or done for fifty years in
South Carolina. The State must be
badly ratified at the hand writing it
sees on the wall: but it is in entire
keeping with the rule or ruin" policy
which conceived The State and which
it has consistently followed during all
the years of it's existence. 1t is intend
ed as a side swipe at Blease to catch
suckers.
Section II, Article " of the consti-
tuition expressly makes it the duty Of
the governor to pass upon petitions for
pardon. Each case stands upon its
own merits and is to be considered on
its merits, after the duly elected gov
ernor has taken a solemn oath to
faithfully perform his duty. Section II
Of the same article uses this language:
HE shall take care that the laws be
faithfully executed in mercy. Laws,
both human and Divine, are based on
the idea Of mercy, and we who are not
under the ban of man-made law are
lost without the pardoning power Of
God.
Raymond, in his Life of Lincoln,
says: His doorkeepers had standing
orders from him, that no matter how
great might be the throng, if either
senator's or representatives had to wait
or be turned away without an audi
ence, he must see before the door
closed every messenger who came to
him for the saving of human life" In
nothing does the great soul Of Lincoln
show more than this.

We suppose adopting the idea of the
Columbia. State, that Lincoln should
have referred these applications FOR
mercy to hand primary in the Re-
publican party.
While we are discussing the pardon
ing power, lat it not be forgotten how
this discussion arose, and that 1t was
Governor BE ase who made public the
horrible cruelty with which convicts
were treated in this state. We believe
that some one will have to answer At
the bar of eternal justice for the help
less beings who were destroyed by the
unsa nitary conditions in the hosiery
mill at the penitentiary, and for the
cruel and inhuman treatment of others
which has never come to light. Blease
made personal investigation and asked
for reform, but when his effort was
met by cold indifference and selfish
greed, he used the pardoning power to
save the slow murder of the detectives
and unfortunat es who had no other
protector. 1t we S a blot on the state of
South Carolina which would have con-
tinued until today but for radical
treatment
We hold no brief for BleaSe, but we
do say. no m3:tter how this election
goes, that he has credit on his ac-
count in the books above for eradicat-
ing this tuDecalar and disease breed
ing hell that South Carolina allowed
TO be maintained for profit.
In a ChristiGn civilization, it is sup
posed that reform, not punishment, is
aimed at in penal institutions. a
method of han ding these unfortunates,
which destroys their bodies and fur
ther brutaliZe and degrades is out of
keeping with advanced thought. For
u great new ;paper to inject an issue
of this kind ntO a campaign to crafty

is unworthy the ethics of clean jour

BRIDGE TO COME HIGH

Present Indications are that the
Boyds Ferry bridge now being built
over Catawba river in the extreme
northern section Of York county, two
thirds of the bridge cost to be borne
by Mecklenburg county and one-thlrd
by York county is going to cost S125,-
900 or more according to Supervisor
Hugh G.. Brown who visited the bridge
site Yesterday. The original contract
price was about $4,000; but the York
county supervisor is confident that the
cost is going to be much greater than
that figure because of the fact that
great trouble has been encountered in
the form of quicksand which was not
expected.
~ found" said Supervisor Brown
yesterday, in talking of his trip TO
the bridge, that progress is slow
mighty slow / haven't the slightest
idea that a vehicle will be able to
crosI that bridge this year although
according to the original estimates it
would be ready for use about Sep
tcmbcr l.
Nothing has been done 50 far ex-
cept attempts to establish the piers
and because Of the great trouble with
made in that direction. While practi-
cally all of the material necessary to
build the bridge is on the grounds;
none of il can Of course be used until
the piers are built.
"It looks to me like the county dele
cation is going to have to provide for
n deficit in this bridge building fund:
because there is little or no question
that the cOmDletel cost is going to he
far greater than the original contract"
The supervisor said that Stewart e
Jones who have the contract for build
ing n mile and n half of road from
the main Bethel road to the bridge
were getting on rapidly with the work
He said that there would evidently be
little or no trouble about getting the
necessary topsoil for this work since
there appears to he plenty of good
topsoil material in the immediate vi
cinity.

1t would appear from the argument
made beforef Judge MCGOWAN by MI
Wilson in his motion last Friday for
new trial in the Zimmerman case mat
he thinks The .Yorkville Enquirer IS
entirely responsible for the conviction.
In the opinion of The Yorkville Enqui-
rer this is a remarkable view OF the
matter. So far:as The Yorkville En-
quirer is coneerned, it. does not desire
to deny anything it has had to do with
the case, and of course If it desired TO
deny anything it couldn't, because all
that it has dohein the matter has been
an open record ito all men. That The
Yorkville Enquirer made as thorough
an investigation into this case as II
was able to make, there is no ques-
ton; but this investigation was soieiy
for the purpose of giving the public all
the light it could about murder com
mitted in the dead hours Of the night
and which was.well calculated to make
law abiding citizens wonder if 1t might
not be their time next. In the view OF
The Yorkville Enquirer it is not so
much question Of who was killed or
who did the killing as it is of fixing re-
sponsibility for the crime in order that
justice might be done. If The York
Vile Enquirer has contributed any
thing to this end, it has the reward
that comes from a sense of high and
honorable duty discharged. But how
ever distinguished the credit that Mr..
Wilson would impute to The Yorkville
ENQUIRER in this matter this newspa-
per could not feel comfortable in de-
tracing from the splendid work of So
licitor Henry. For really and truly
it was Solicitor Henry who achieved
this conviction, in spite of the best ef-
forts of two of the best criminal law
yers at the. York county bar to the
contrary Notwithstanding, and he did
it not with unl1ind feeling for the de-
feldant, but through the righteous ap-
plrcation Of his splendid legal knowl-
edge AID ability in upholding the ma
jesty of the law 1t was an intelligent
jury and an honest jury; but without
such assistance as was furnished BY
Mr.. Henry, it would not have been so
readily able to reach a just judgment.

EXACT AGE ISSUE

Edgar A. Brown, chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Committed
has taken issue with the recent ruling
of Attorney General Wolfe in which
the latter holds that "21 plus" is suf
ficient compliance with the party rule
that requires each Signcr of the roll
to give his or her age. Mr.. Brown
holds that each applicant for mem
bership in a Democratic club must
give his or her exact age. His formal
statement is Il follows:
"In order to determine the requi
sites as to age of an applicant for
membership in Democratic club, and
for voting at primary, two rules Of
the party must be construed: Rule
6 and IL.
Rule 6, in part. is rs follows:
