Pickens Sentinel-do ral PUslaimen EVERY THURSDAY MORNING. -BY The Suntinel-Journal Company. J. L. 0. THOMPSON, EDITOL Telephone 32 bubscription $1.00 Per Annum. Advertising Rates Reasonable. Nntered at Picxens rustoffice as Second Clas MaD Matter - PICKENS, S. C.: THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30. 1909. Pickens County Fair. The fair passed off nicely and pleasantly despite the inclement weather. Fully ten thousand enthusiastle people were in the little city of Pickens the last day and all enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. They were )ut for fun and pleasure and ;hey got it. The crowd was or lerly and good-natured. The exhibits of stock, farm )roducts, chickens, fancy work, md in fact, everything exhibit x was fine and well displayed. In the individual farm prod iot exhibit R. B. Byars won irst prize with B. A. All'ood a lose second and J. B. Finley Tell up in the running. The *ntestants in the agricultural ine for other prizes had good tuff on exhibition. We are ,orry that a county display was iot gotten from these exhibits -o send to the State Fair. The fair has outgrown the town of Pickens-the street will aot do another year and a fair ground is a necessity. A mass meeting of the citizens of the county is called to meet in the court house on saleday in No vember with the object of mak ing a permanent organization of the association and turning it into a stock company. It is naecesary, for the good of the zounty, and the permanency of the fair, that a permanent or ganization be effected, suitable ground be leased and adequate buildings for the care of stock and all other displays be erected and a show ground and race track be built. If you see it as we4o, lend your aid and assist ance to the thing that, more than any one thing, has turned thie eyes of the country upon Pick ens county, the garden spot .of the world. John A. Johnson. Deep regret will be felt the country over that John A. John. brave fight against death was unavailing. The governor of Minnesota died in the hospital at Rochester, Minn., where an op eration was performed upon him in the hope of gaining relief from the disease with which he had suffered. The best measure of the res pect and gegard in which Mr. Johnson was held by his fellow men is to be found in the univer sal interest which was displayed in his fight for life and the many expressions of regret every where heard that the grim mes senger had conquered There was that in John A. Johnson's life story that appeal ed strongly to the great mass of honest, sturdy Americans. Hie had known the bitterest pang of poverty. Like Abe Lincoln, he arose, by sheer force of will an character, to eminen ce and renown ." And like Lin coln he maintained; as he pro gressed higher, the same af fec tionate regard and confidence of the "plain people" that were his meed in the days of poverty and hard toil. John A.Johnson died in the prime of life. Had he lived a few years longer there is strong reason to belive he would have achieved thehighest honor in the gift of the Ameri ean people to bestow. He was strongest competitor against Mr. Bryan for the Democratic nomi iation in 1908. Many believed 2ie w ould have been successfulI .n achieving both nomination wd election three years hence, aad he been spared. Specula ion as to what might have been s fruitless, however, in the light >f what is. And John A. John ;on needs no higher honors than 1e had already won to keep his nemory green. As a boy, he wvas a loving, faithful son to a uard-wnrkinhg mother, taking der years the burden of support of the family; as a youth he was still faithful, plodding, alert scrupulously honest; working hard all day and reading half the night to gain an education. From the humble editorial desk of a country newspaper office he was called to the administra tion of the affairs of state as 'chief executive of Minnesota. :So faithfully to the interests of the people did he perform his du ties that twice again in the fac, of large normal Republican p ralities, was Johnson chosen gov.rnor. When asked the secret of his success Johnson is said to have replied: "I tried to make good." He did. As a faithful son: an earnest editor; an honest govenor, he made good. That is epitaph enough. Judge's Charge to the Grand Jury. Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: This is the last court for you to attend in your official capaci ty. You wiil complete all busi ness on hand. You may, if any thing left over, work until end of year. Six of your number will hold over, to carry forward untinished business or recomen dations which have been made but not observed. In human life things talked about do not count; things done count. Reco mendations had better not be made than to be made and ignor ed. You can have the order of this court to compel attention and compliance with your reco mendations. Pickens county has been highly complimented on not having many offenders not much for the court of Gen eral Sessions. You want to keep it so. On the wheels of peace and order will follow prosperity and happiness. In some parts of the state you hear of the fiscal agents of the state being $20,000 behind. A rigid investigation is always a vindication of a good officer. Good roads are a badge of advanced civilization. There is no reason why the roads in every county should not be in god condition, and the bridges i1: good order. Injuries to a traveller from a defect in a high way or bridge have to be paid for by the county. The officer who neglects his duty ought to be required to refund it to the county. The Poor Farm should be care fully looked after. The inmates are poor and needy, helpless and should have their comfort. Punishment of a criminal is to reform him. He is entitled to humane treatment. None but coward would be cruel or unkind to a convict. He should be well fed and well clad. A chain gang it expensive to the county and is entitled to have value receiv ed for every dollar spent. See that the accounts are carefully scrutinized and that they are all right. If you ':now of any violation of law not prosecutive, it is your duty to present it. Law is no respecter of persons. Justic is blind. None are so high and mighty that you may not touch, and none so low that you may not lift them up. You are the grand inquest-the barometer. If every thing is going right and smooth in your county, you may take it as a good sign that you are doing your duty. If all from the Govenor down do their duty, the law will be enforced. One of the most celebrated state pa. pers was a presentment of the Grand Jury of Barnwell county in which it presented the Gov ernor of the state. There are portions of the State where it is said the law cannot be enforced. The juries could enforce it if they wanted to. The legislature in trying to mitigate the evils of the liquor traffic has provided that liquor cannot be sold except through the dispensary law, and the law should be enforced as all other laws. A J EW E Ex-Governor M. B. McSweeney Dead. Columbia, Sept. 29.-Former Governor M. B. McSweenev 'died this iorning in Baltimore, where he had been under treat ment for several weeks. He ws 55 years of age and is survived ty his wife and six children Miles B. McSweney was born in Charleston and was reared in the C1harleslon orphan's home. He learned the printer's trade when a bov. His first new paper venture was at Ninety-Six in the seventies where he ran a newspaper for a year or so. Gen. M. L. Bonham, now of Ander son, was editor. When Hamp ton county was established Mr. McSweenev moved to Hampton court house and established the Hampton Guardian, of vhich 1 he has been editor and publisher ever since. ITf. served the lefris lature and state senate, and was elected lieu tenant governor in 1898, and b( came frovernor in 1899. on the doath of Governor Ellerbe. He wasre-elected in 1909 retiring in 1902. and has lived at i Hampton ever since.
