"In men whom men condemn as ill, I find so much of goodness still; In men whom MEN pronounce divine* I find so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." J Thursday, may 15.1913 j Jack Johnson, the negro pugi-j list who nut-taxed decrepit old Jefferies, has l>een found guilty of white slavery 011 seven counts. Now, let the law hike its course and give 11 > a rest on the black bruiser in the newspaper reports. Our esteemed neighbor, The Georgetown Times, which has taken on new life the past few months, has installed a linotype of the latest model. By this investment The m- ___ 4 limes snuws ^a-ui Him m 11iv j future of the "City on the Sampit," which confidence we believe is fully justified by the trend of events. The New York World's tribute to "Stonewall'' Jackson has been reproduced by a number of Southern newspapers, but none of them seem to have noticed the error The World fell into in saying that "Lee'' pointed to him (Jackson) "standing like a stone wall." As a matter of history, it was Bee,- of South Carolina, who pointing hfs sword exclaimed: "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall." And thenceforth Thomas Jonathan Jackson, sometime professor in a military college, was known to fame and to immortality as "Stonewall Jackson." The city of Florence is to be 'congratulated upon the outcome of her first municipal election unuer a cumuiiasiuu iunn ui guvernraent. Mr William R Barringer was chosen Mayor of the little 4'Gate City'' over four popular competitors and along with him was elected a strong board of Commissioners. Mayor Barringer is one of the most progressive, public-spirited, successful business men of Florence and is, withal, a gentleman of the highest type. Under his administration we expect great things for our neighbor town within the next four years. We wi?l? vim mii?htv well. Mr Bar ringer.

I must attend all religious services I possibly can with a desire of deriving all the good I can. I further resolve that I will be kind and affectionate to my nlavrmaioe anH nrnnnintanops. and will try to follow the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have , them do unto you." , I am a pupil of Cades school. Bethea McElveen. I have made up my mind to try to j be more helpful both to myself and < others in 1913 than I have been in | the past. I have made some new rules that I am going to try to follow.

I The closing exercises of the Boyd school,near Salters.were held Friday afternoon, May 9, in the grove of pine and oak in front of the ideally situated school house near the an A?1 1 Tk? T XT \XT C cesirai nuuie ui uta i r* ouu t? o Boyd. The joy of the occasion was shadowed by the departure of the much loved teacher, Miss Minnie McFadden, and we all hope she will return to us when school starts again. The grounds were tastefully i decorated with moss, ferns and palms, and a rustic little house help- 1 ed to make the scene attractive. The principal feature of the festivities was the May-pole,dancing around i which sixteen little boys and girls joined. The latter.all in white.added 1 much to the picturesqueness of the scene. As the guests began to assemble, band pieces were played, and at 6 o'clock sharp the May Queen, Miss Carrie Blackwell, came forward and i gracefully took her seat upon the l throne, which was embowered in I roses. Ivey Hall welcomed the pretty queen and crowned her. The rest of her subjects came forward in the following order and presented her ] with emblems of love: Miss Lottie 1 Guess handed her the scepter, Clarence Boyd the cross of faith, Laura 1 Rnvrl tVio onnhnr r?f Vinnp Rnh#?rt Brunson the rose of innocence, Sue j, Blackwell the flowers of spring, Laird Montgomery summer wheat, Glennie Brunson basket of autumn fruit,Eliphalet Brunson winter ever- ( green, Grace Blackwell bright eyes, \ Fempie Guess ivy green, Dorothy < Boyd as sunshine,Eddy Montgomery ] as page, Tom Blackwell as mischief and William Boyd as gallantry. ] When all the loyal subjects had made , their bows the queen led them to 1 the May-pole and danced, each with 1 a streamer of red, blue and yellow j in his or her hand. As they danced ] they sang the "Mountain Maid's Invitation". The festivities were con-11 eluded with the song, "Annie Lau- j J rie", in pantomime. Refreshments j were then served,and as the sun was | slowly sinking from view the guests I bade each other good-bye. Besides the patrons of the school the following were among the visitors: Mrs Frank Montgomery, Mary Lena Montgomery and Mrs Bert Blackwell of Greelyville, Mrs M McMillan and Mrs Habenicht,from near Greelyville, Mrs W N Clarkson and i ;hildren of Heinemann, Mrs B Doar )f Andrews, Mr and Mrs Herbert Chandler,from near Salters,Mrs M C Mouzon of Kings tree, Mrs Gourdin, Mr T B Gourdin, Miss Martha GourJin and Miss M S Boyd.

X X X The Government's investigation of the so-called cure for tuberculosis Dr Friedman claims to have discovered declares the results of the public health service observations so far "do not justify the confidence in th? remedy which has been inspired by wide-spread publicity." xxx Wilmot L Harris, who had been postmaster at Charleston for a number of years, died last Tuesday on the Clyde Steamship Mohawk,on his way to New York for medical treatment. Mr Harris,although a Republican in politics,was highly esteemed by all classes of the people whom he had served and his passing is generally deplored. xxx Barnard B Evans, several times candidate for Attorney General, has been disbarred from the practice of law by unanimous opinion of the State supreme court, the basis of disbarment being misappropriation of funds and other abuses of privileges of the bar. Mr Evans has the privilege,at the end of two years, of applying for re-instatement upon satisfactory proof that he has abstained from intoxicating liquors within that length of time. XXX Charles C Glover, the Washington banker who recently assaulted Representative Sims of Tennessee on account of a speech the latter delivered in the House of Representatives, was brought before the bar of the House Friday of last week and reprimanded by Speaker Clark for violating the privileges of the House. When brought in by the sergeant-atarms Glover read an apology, saying his act was committed under great stress of feeling and that he did not know that he was affronting t^be House.
