There is no doubt about the fact
that the town of Lancaster wants the

The death of ex-President Diaz recalls
the fact that he brought order
out of chaos in our sister republic

fairly good government but he failed

their might and ran him away from

ANOTHER MARTYR TO DUTY. -!
!
-1 -!-!?i?;?i?L?! i?i?*
Haleigh Boudware, the rural po
1 iceman, who was shot by the Isenliower
gang, at the time they killed
Sheriff Hood, succumbed to his
wounds Saturday in a hospital in Co
lumbia, where he was taken the day
of the shooting. Owing to conditions
that exist in South Carolina, it is
pertinent to Inquire who deserves
censure for tlie deplorable tragedy,
for we will all agree that there is
fault somewhere. For our part the
Isenhowers, living or dead, who did
to death these two officers of the law
and wounded others, deserve the
severe condemnation of all lovers of
law and order. And yet we note.
from time to time, communications
in the daily press, lauding to the
skies those people who trampled the
law under their feet, and murdered
those brave men to whom the people
of Fairfield county had entrusted its
enforcement. Some of them go so
far as to suggest the raising of a
fuud to erect a monument to the
dead Isenhower. Strange to say,
none of these correspondents have
anything to say one way or the other
about the officers of the law who
were shot to death. But nevertheless.
there are people all over the
state who appreciate their bravery
and devotion to duty. Their deaths
will not be in vain. Before our people,
as a whole come to a realization
of how shorkinir it is for indiviiliiuU
to take the law into their own hands,
more hrnve men will, likely have to
co down to their death. Hut earh
one that falls a martyr to duty will
cause the people to stop and think,
resulting in the end of a healthy public
sentiment whic h will some day he
so prevalent in South Carolina, that
no one, for any cause, will dare
trample upon the law and shoot down
those charged with its enforcement.

may he said it is none of our
business, hut we hope that our
neichbor. Chester, will vote the contemplated
issue of bonds for street
improvements. We fear, though,
from the tone of the editorial matter
on tlie subject in The Chester News,
that there is great doubt about it.
How can the people of Chester afford
to hesitate about this most important
matter when its future depends
upon its keeping up with its nearby
sister towns? It would seem that
ultra-conservatism on the part of its
principal property holders is the
main trouble.
The News, in its last issue, discussed
this nliase of tin? matter in ?n
editorial in which it shows that "conservatism"
is a much "abused word."
It says:
"The good old word 'conservative*
in this day and time has been and is
being outrageously abused. How
often >lo we have a well known man
in a community pointed out as a most
conservative business man, one
whose judgment is likely to he sound
rtul safe. At the same time we know,
the predominent traits of this self
same man as selfishness, stinginess,
pigmiudedness, and his so-called
'conservatism' is the desire to secure
from organized society every possible
atom without giving back to it any
return."
The class of men spoken of by the
Chester paper will be found in every
community, but fortunately, as a
rule, they do not always control.
Our best wishes are with the progressives
in the tight they are making
for Chester's good.

We have received a ropy of the
Midsummer edition of the Hock Hill
Magazine, published by the Chamber
of Commerce of that city. It is a
good advertisement for that wideawake
and hustling town. On the
front page is a picture of the cattle
Hock Hill is shipping out?the
thoroughbred Hertford bulls imported
by the Union National Bank for
the purpose of stock improvement in
that section. Rock Hill is already
the center of the alfalfa industry in
the state and promises ere long to be
the center of the stock raising Industry.
But what is it Rock Hill can't
do when she tries and she is always
trying.

The fact that Chick Springs has
been selected three times in succession
as the most suitable place to
hold the annual meeting of the South
Carolina Press Association, is argument
sufficient to demonstrate to any
reasonable mind that as a summer
resort it can't be boat. The accommodations
and fare, in fact all the
appointments of the place, are ideal.
It is easily accessible and can be
reached by electric lines from Spartanburg
or Greenville or by rail, the
station being at Taylor's, a short distance
from the hotel. The editor is
now enjoying a well-earned rest at
this delightful resort. She writes
that "Chick Springs is good enough
for me," and this is saying a good
deal for her.

I Special to Th'j News.
Chick Springs, July 5.?The read1
ers of many of the newspapers In
' South Carolina are doubtless aware
of the fact that many of the newsi
paper makers have not been "on the
job" during the past week, but however
much their absence has been
1 j felt, we believe that the result of
their brief outing will be manifested
i | in renewed interest and enthusiasm
and in greater zeal because of their
] having met for mutual improvement.
: The editor of The News enjoyed the
I sessions of the Press Association of
i the two Carolinas. Tho South Carolina
newspaper makers gathered at
i Chick Springs lust week, holding
I meir opening session juonaay even- ,
ing, June 2 8. Othter sessions were i
held Tuesday and Wednesday. An- j
other pleasant, as well as profitable I
feature of the meeting was an auto- !
; mobile ride over the nearby city of |
1 Greenville and its growing suburbs,
j The 115 session was brought to a
happy conclusion by an elaborate
' banquet in the beautiful dining room
1 of the Chick Springs Hotel, given by
j that host, whose hospitality knows
i no bounds, Mr. J. Thomas Arnold. I
! president of the Chick Springs Com;
pany. A numbe< of after dinner
! speeches, sparkling with wit and
abounding in good feeling, were
! made. Mrs. Caroline Miller Lums- :
den, sister of Itced Miller the South
Carolinian whose voice has charmed
so many audiences, sang at the ban
quel aim tlie chick Springs orchestra
also furnished music. Mrs. Lumsden
sings at lunch and dinner every
day during the season. The daily
papers have carried the gist of a
number of splendid addresses delivered
before the Press Association and
we cannot here mention more than
a few of the speakers. The governor
of South Carolina made a
"heart to heart" talk to the editors,
lie told of the Charleston blind tiger
problem and of the plans by which
lie is seeking ;o solve it. lie referred
to the asylum reorganization, explaining
the reasons therefor and
disclosing the fact that conditions
there had demanded immediate and
thorough-going reform. He discussed
tax reform, charities and corrections
and other problems which are occupying
his time iiiid thought. The
governor's earnestness, his sincerity
and his optimism compel the eonfi(lence
that with the co-operation of
the people he represents, South Carolina
will go foreword under his administration.
Senator John L. McLaurin
spoke at length of his warehouse
proposition, pointing out how
it is designed to hasten prosperity
and make the Southern farmer more
independent. The most original and
one of the most inspiring addresses
before the meeting was that of a
mountain missionary, Itev. Mr. Crain,
w hose message appealed to all who
iifiiui u. .nr. v it in is iiimsiMi it native
of the mountains and has served
a sentence for moonshining. Tlis conversion
and his education have made
him very influential and lie plead eloquently
for consideration towards the
mountaineers.
Thursday morning the editors of
South Carolina left on a special
tr: in, procedlng from Chick Spr'ngs 1
over the Piedmont & Northern Railway
to Spartanburg, where they went j
over the Southern Railway to Hlack ;
Mountain, driving on two miles to
Montreat, where a joint meeting of
the editors of North and South Carolina
was held. President Hammer,
of the North Carolina Press Association.
and Mr. Brtttain, editor of The '
Raleigh News and Observer, welcomed
the editors of the Palmetto

sponded to by Mr. Bd H. DeCainp j
editor of The Gnffney Ledger, retiring
president of the South Carolina

of The Charleston News and Courier '
