(NOTARIES PUBLIC
SHORN OF POWER
Governor Blease Depriving his "En
emies" of Commissions -a Notaries
.Starts Id at Columbia.
Columbia, Jan. 3.?Governor Blease
has revoked the coraiolslsons is no
taries public of tbe following:
Hen*r J. Hardy, pressman for them
Columbia State; Cape DIbert Jack
son, affiliated with the reportorial
staff of the State: Col. August Kofan.
head of The News and Couriers' Co
lumbia Bureau; Alva M. Lumpkin.
Representative-elect from this county;
A. J. Beathea, private secretary to
Governor M. F. Ansel during his term
of office; David Harper Means, clerk
of the State sinking fund commission,
and of George Powell Miller, Walter
Taylor Love, William D. Love and
William Stephen Hough, all of Colum
bia. Commissions to notaries public
are Issued during the governor's
pleasure and can be revoked at will.
Noticing the revoking of cimmlsslon8
of so many notaries public, Governor
Blease was asked this morning why it
was being done or what it meant, an I
in reply made the following statement:
Governor's Statement.
"You remember when I first came
into office I revoked the commissions
of all notaries public, mf reason for
so doing being explained at the time;
also on the stump during the recent
campaign, at which time one of my
opponents would yell, every day, 'He
cut off tbe heads of all the notaries
public' His protests had no effect
upon the people, for they realized that
I was right in the step that I bad
taken. I said tuen, and repeat now,
th.v. under the Constitution, the com
missioners of tvery appointive officer
should be made to expire with the term
! of the Governor who makes the ap
pointment. I still believe that, and in
carrying out that policy I have called
in the comm.;3-<T;M3 of al> detectives
and constables working under me,
January 1, 1913, bnd am revoking the
commissions of many notaries public
along the same line.
"I would have issued a general or
der, but two years ago this was very
much objected to, and I was asked not
to enforce the order because It would
Interfere with the banking institutions
and others in handling their business
affairs.
Will Let Some Stand.
"There are some -sommSsslons
throughout the State that I shall not
revoke, and I a msatisfied that there
revoke, and I am satisfied that there
I commissions are revoked, because 1
have heard of them saying that they
did not want to have any commission
signed by Blease; that they were
ashamed of them, but that they had
to have them on account of their bus
Ines affairs-; therefore, as far as I
can, I am trying to relieve them of
their shame.
"Furthermore, I do not think any
man should hold a commission under
the State Government who openly vio
lated the laws of the State last year by
betting on the result of the primary
election. I know of no better way to
stop such gambling than to carry mi;
the law and deprive those of their
commissions who were guilty of that
offence, as provided for under our Con
stitution and statute laws. Therefore,
when I have the positive proof, I shall
revoke commissions for this cause.
This, in short, is what it means, and
this is all it means.
Believes in Spoils System.
"I furthermore state that no man
need apply to me for a position unless
he he a Blecse man; I mean that. I
was censured for It, yet now some of
the same newspapers who condemned
me so severely for my position, are
hollering 'to the victor belongs the
spoils' when it comes to the appoint
. ments to he made by the President
'eet of the United States, Woodrow
Wilson. If the 'spoils' belong to Wil
->n and his crowd, why should not
the Blease men reap the rewards or
the 'spoils' from their victory. Yet
they praise Wilson for sticking to his
friends, and condemn Blease for stick
ing to his. Truly It ran be said, 'Oh!
consistency, thou art a jewel,' and I
beg to add, 'A clear-cut diamond.'
"Of course, where appointive offices
were submitted to the primary and
elections wero held by the people, the
will of the people should and must be
carried out, unless some good cause is
j shown why it should not be, but when
I it cornea to appointments in my dis
cretion, I shall stick to the man who
stuck to me! because, standing by my
old motto, 'Of what shall a man he
proud if he is not proud of his
friends?'"
Forty-Klirht More Dismissed.

"Try Cardui," writes Mrs. Z. V. Spell, of Hayne, N. C
" I was in a very low state of health, and was not able to
be up and tend to my duties I did try Cardui, and soon
began, to feel better. 1 got able to be up and help do my
housework. I continued to take the medicine, and now I
am able to do my housework and to care for my children,
and I feel as though I could never praise Cardui enough
for the benefits I have received.*

Cardui Is successful, because it is made especially for
women, and acts specifically on the womanly constitution.
Cardui does one thing, and does it well. That explains
the great success which it has had, during the past 50 years,
in helping thousands of weak and ailing women back to
health and happiness. /
If you are a woman, feel tired, dull,,and are nervous,
cross and irritable, if s because you need a tonic. Why not
try Cardui? Cardui builds, strengthens, restores, and acts
in every way as a special, tonic remedy for women. Tzzi
