It is said that Texas is getting ready to repudiate Bailey. We hope sv.ch wil> he 'his fate. We hope that bhose who contend that the:*e is no Lumber Trust have ?been reading the testimony given in the trial ait St: Louis of that restrain er of trt-de. It is ;aid by some that the chief support of Mr. Smith for he judg shlp cam from ? on the board at this time. -4- , Henry Baxter, colored, walked in the church that he usually attended in Newberry County on last Sun day wit a his hat on. Several wor shippers reached for is now sleeping fa the grade yard near the church. Several million gallons of beer, it io said, has disappeared down the troats of Chicagoans during the ex cessive heat of the last several days. This is nearly half a gallon daily for every man, woman and child in the cky. ? - -1 t Out of a total number of 1,946, 193 voters that participated in tho vote en the saloon question in Swed ett?recently, 1,845,249 voted against saloons, "while only 18,471 favored ?the existence of saloons in that coun try. That is a prohibition country right. Edward Hlnes, inlllfonaire and head of the Lake Lumber 'Manufac turers association has been dropped from the presidency of that organiza tion as a r'esult of the exposures con" necting him with the $100,00 fund which was used to purchase the Beat fa the United States senate of Wil liam Lorimer. ? A woman up in New England is seeking'a divorce because her hus band kissed her too much, and a Georgia woman had her husband ar rested for cruel treatment Because he refused to kiss he good-bye when he left for his work. These couples seem to be mismated. They ought to swap around and get suited. President Taft seems to have a fondness for trust lawyers when it comes to filling United States judge ship's. That is one reason why Re publicans in the South fare s? bad when it come* to giving cut these fat plumbs. They are not close enough to the trusts to suit the occupant of the White House. ? r The Newberry News says it "has been' amazed lately at the number of cases in which the judges who >pas6ed sentence have come to be Ue've the convict not guilty or ought no't to have had nearly so severe a sentenc. Solicitors, when they Come to think of it, hae grave doubts of*guilt or think sentence excessive." 'A noted gambler once defined hll to',be alcohol, tobacco, eating sorpses of hens, cows and fish, gluttony, hate, revenge, envy, malice, jealousy, fear, discontent and unappreciation, and heaver, he defined as good air, good water, ei.2.ht hours a day sleep, a heart 'ull of divine love, 'hope, faith, charity, contentment, the simple life, and the Golden Rule. Reader which do yov prefer? "Why," asks the Lr.ke City News, "move earth and get a man convicted and a good sentence imposed and then conclude he was innocent or far too heavily sentenced? It is al most an epidemic, of miscarriage of justice against the defendants and yet we have be?n beratin.7 juries for not convicting." Our co-temporary is not alcne in its failure to under stand why judges recommend pardon in so many cases. The first complete Chines-0 census places the total population at 439, 2^4,000. This even exceeds the max imum estimate of four hundred mil lions. , Now the statistical friends w.ho l ave been figuring for years to ascertain how much more cotton China would consume if every China man uould wear shirts an inch long er have definite data on which to work, and we look for an early so lution of the vexed problem. The Ware Shoals Matter. The Columbia Record says: "The Anderson Da ly Mail denomi nates as "fake journalism'' the story I published in some of the South Caro lina papers that the employes of the Ware Shoals mill tad demanded a holiday on the occas.'on of Governor Blease's speech at that place, and the Orangeburg Times and Democrat re fers to the story as "'a lie out of the ?whole cloth." Other papers have had similar comments. It will be well to proceed a little more cautiously in the matter of de mcing a story : published, in a repu. ble newspaper, written by a reputable newspaper man, whose chief asset in his profes sion is his reputation for truth and veracity. "As for The Daily Record, this newspaper has no interest in the matter. The story was not published in this paper. But we are free to say that we have since read a letter written by one of the most reliable and most prominent business men of Columbia, confirming- the "tip" which he gave to the reporter who wrote the stor>\ This gentleman was the reporter's* authority for the story, and the gentleman himself received his information personally from an official who was assuredly authorized to speak for the Ware Shoals mill company. The story did not ema nate from the governor nor any of his friends." We never intended a what we said about the Ware Shoa's Manu facturing Company's refusing to give their employees an opportunity to hear Gov. Blease speak at the picnic on the 18th instant to intimate that the reporter who wota the story or the newspaper that first published it "told a lie out of the whole cloth." We were satisfied that the reporter who first wrote the paragraph had been told that what he wrote was true, but we believed he had been deceived by some one, and it still has that appearance to us. The Record say? it has "read a letter written .by one of the most reliable and most prominent business men of Columbia, confirming the tip which he gave to the reporter who wrote the story." This gentleman was the reporter'^ authority for the story, and The Record says "the gen tleman himself received his informa tion personally from an official who was assuredly authorized to speak for the Ware Shoals Manufacturing Company.'' This statement com pletely exonerate:? the reporter, but it does not agree with a statement made by the assistant treasurer of the company. He says "the help did not apply *to us for a day off; in fact, they did not even mention the matter to our superintendent. We decided to give all our employees holiday on the 18th and posted a notice to that effect on May 1, 1911, and the act was of our own free will and accord." Both of these statements cannot be true. Either the informant of the Colum bia business man or the assistant treasurer of the company has slipped a cog in some way or other in their statements. It ought to be an easy matter to show whioh is correct. The assistant treasurer says the notice of a holiday on the day that Governor Blease was to speak was posted on May 1, seventeen days be fore the Governor was to speak. If this is not true it is easily proven false, as the employees of the mill must know whether such a notice was posted or not. In the face of the above statement, it seems to us incumbent on the informant of the merchant Who gave the "tip" to the reporter to make good his statement or confess that be had given out a statement that he can't substantiate. Want to Whitewash Him Again. It is plain that the friends of Sen ator Lorlmer in the United States Senate are trying hard to get his case in the hands of a whitewash '?ommibtee should it bo reopened, which now seems inevitable. In the fact of the overwhelming* public opinion it is hardly likely that any considerable number of senators would oppose the reopening of the case. That feature of the matter seems to be settled. Even Lorimer's friends sees that he must be investi gated by the Senate again. His standpat supporters in both parties want thi* investigation to be conducted by his friends. They want him committed again to the tender mercies of the committee on priv ileges and elections. The committee is composed of Senators Dillingham, Gamble, Heyburn, Clapp, Sutherland, Bradley, Jones, Oliver and Kenyon, republicans; Bailey, Paynter, John ston, Fletcher, Hern and Lee, demo crats. Of this i umber, Dillingham, Gamble, Heyburn, Sutherland, Brad ley, Jones Oliver, Bailey, Paynter, Johnson and Fletcher are standpat ters, friendly to Lorimer. Clapp. Kenyon, Kern and Lea are progres sives. The LaFolIetto resolution which is now up for consideration in the sen ate, names a special commtitee, Works of California, McLean of Con necticut, Townsend of Michigan, Kern of Indiana and Pomeren^ of Ohio. One progressive Republican and two standp-.tters, ar.d two Dem ocrats. Mr. LaT,"o!lette urges the ne cessity of a committe? of new mem bers because the old members have all voted on tae question and are on record either as Lorimer partis ans or in favor of ousting him. If the resolution is sent to the committee on -privileges and elections ?and it appears likely that it will be because it will, receive the support of reactionary democrats and republi cans alike?Mr. Lorimer will be in vestigated ,by a friendly committee. That is the meaning of the contest now before the senate. The Spar tanburg Journal1 says in addition to the case being tried by a committee of Lorimer supjvorters, a vote to send it to the committee on privileges and elections will mean, in all probability the delaying of action In the case un til late into the regular session next winter, while the progressives are urging a speedy investigation and an l early vote.
