Political education is much to be desired by South Carolinians, and colleges are plentiful. There is no need of editors hunt ing the location of hell. Guess there will be conductors and "free passej" ? Mosquitoes and McLaurin are both quite famous. It is difficult to decide which has received the most advertising this summer. A Chicago mau claims to have cured himself of rheumatism by fasting 31 days.-Bamberg Times. Yes, if you fast long enough it will cure any disease. " The Golf crop in Aiken brings more dollars to the farmer than the cotton crop of Edgefield."-Ai - -ken Journal and Review. The Golf players bring more money to the church on the Sab bath when they are prevented by . rain from having their Sunday game, too, do they not ? Printer-Governors seem to be getting popular. Alabama and South Carolina each have one and now Georgia has announced the candidacy of a printer-governor, Colonel E?till, of Savannah. We are sure that printers can make a good impression, as that is a part of their business. And we hereby nominate Bud Russell. v The Herald and News ac cuses the Cngster Lantern of -trcrir?^?T?Trc?r?ty On elie loca tion ofhell? ? The Greenwood Index is afraid it will be lo cated near Greenwood, ac cording to his article in last isyie^ It is a good plan to j nave hell located so you may stay away from it. Better to locate it while living than to take up abode there after you die. Bro. Bigham will miss hell as far as any Mr. Man we know of. We can't say this for A(u )11, the editor(s). THIS IS TO DEAR BEX. MR. Tillman, we hereby solemn ly admonish thee to enter not into the state of Ohio for the purpose of speech making on lynch Jaw. But if you do enter said state, my dear Ben, do not say you favor lynch law, but proclaim to thine enemies the workings of thy dear dispensary law, ar d how it has in past years been thy present help in time of political trouble ; that it was instituted as a step toward prohibition (?) but such an idea is a back number, that it is a po litical machine which put thee in office and without which you could never have been Boss Ben, with the pitchfork fame. Tell them of how cheap the liquor is bought and after bottling it and putting X's on it, that the profits are im mense, nearly as good as a Texas oil well. Tell them you are the father of the dispensary and that prohibition is dead and if selling people all the liquor they can buy will do any good, it will never be resurrected. That the mission of the dispensary is "Sell all whisky possible to men and tigers and establish new places of business ; it is money we want. Drink and be merry, Tor tomorrow we declare a dividend. Deceive them, Ben, you have a slick tongue. If they succeed m "boxiDg" you they will have accomplished a good thing for this state-and others too. To Ohio: We beseech the to consid er well thy action before attempt ing to "lay Ben by his lonely." He sees more with one eye than most people who have two. It was not his musical pitchfork that made him blind. He is not ready to be received by our governor in a box, and we do not want Ben, dear Ben to get in a box with his toes turn ed heavenward, the opposite di rection of his spirit, and his many friends sadly waiting by him to hear him speak, but no voice they hear. He has become too seri ous to discuss politics and cuss opponents. Tillman is a great man with all his faults, but when he comes to die, and has to give account of his deeds and is sent to his eternal destiny his name will live on and ever be associated with the South Carolina dispen sary business and liquor traffic. AE to where he shall go we know not, but he haz friends at both places Ohio, we will get along without bim if you do as you threaten* SYMPATHY VS. LAW. WHEN a court, with twelve ju rymen and a judge convicta man, after hearing the evidence, if this not final, why not abolish the courts and let the judges re tire, and save the expenses of the courts. Col. Neal was tried and convicted of violation of the laws of this state and should serve his just sentence. Because he was at one time "prominent in politics" and because "prominent citizens" from all over the state "think 'he' has been punished enough,"sign a petition for executive clemeLcy,he must be pardoned. If prominent people are to overrule the cour I's 1 decisions, we say that politics and 1 influential citizens should take the place of the courts. It does not mean much to be convicted in a court now-a-fbyB, for after being sentenced, all that is necessary is for "prominent citizens" to sign a 1 [petition for a pardon and, present < it,after having served a part of tho \ sentence. The more money and in fluence you possess the easier it is. If a man is guilty when on trial, ho is juBt as guilty after ser- J viug half his sentence. Abide by < the courts decision or abolieh the \ courts. If it is right to have them, it is right to respect their findings. Justice should overrule sympathy, 1 There are othere who are as guilty as Neal, but Neal has been con- ? victed and they have not. The "prominent citizens" do not favor letting the law take itB course, but put up their opinions as superior to that of the court. BE NOT ENVIOUS. Edgefield county is almost as ?modest a county as Atlanta is a city. Allanta wants money and advertising and Edgefield has au r overpowering desire for office, ^ which desire has never been con cealed. Amputation did not cure and the few red hiUs remaining t produce luxuriant crops of can- i didates. Dr. W H Timmerman, r who has been in office many years, is said to be a candidate for gov ernor and the county already has three or four. There are six men r in that county who are definitely 1; out for something the size of a 1 gubernatorial or congressional _ prize, besides the 1 rising young f lawyers' who want to be solicitor. Edgefield has more representatives on the democratic executive com mittee than any other county and it might be well for them to rule the others out and have the next campaign centered in Edgefield, where about half the candidates live."-Spartanburg Free Lance. The motive that prompted the above article is not pure. The ar ticle plainly shows the envious spirit of jealousy towards Edge ?field because she has some of the brainiest, ablest, and most compe tent citizens from which to select ?officers. The fact that she has so [many representatives is conclu I sive evidence that ' they have the executive ability. Edgefield has no desire to "conceal" anything. -Sba lioliovoB-rrr-betrig kidd ftnd'dp ing things openly Why put our light under a bushel ? The Free Lance gives its readers "it is said" news. Be fair and name the "ris ing young lawyers" who want to be solioitor, and the "six men who are definitely out for something the size of a gubernatorial or con gressional prize." Do like Edge field-have no desire to "conceal" facts There is plenty of good ma I tefial to select from in Edgefield if ?your suggestion should be carried out and the " campaign centered in Edgefield." Wo do not want that done, but had rather go be fore the people and show Edge field's ability. Once an employer advertised for " a smart business man" to take charge of his affairs, anda beardless youth applied at the office to secure the position. The employer said " what, a young man like you want to take charge ot my business ; you have no beard on your face?" The youth replied: " If it is brains you want take me, but if it's hair you want, get you a billy goa!;." He was employed. Some people are so narrow-mi oded that a county line is as far as they can see. Moral : If you want men of ability go get them wherev er they be. Look at their ability, and not where they reside. VERY INDIFFERENT. "The course of events has shown itself to be extremely indifferent as to the reputa tion of the prophets.99 This same sentiment might be aptly used in reference to the relation of the public to the ne wspaper. For instance a man about town will declare to you that on-such a day he most positively will leave town and enjoy the glories of the Pan American exposition in Buffalo. The paper so states it, for thc edification of the public and ?irough com pliment to the individual, and mayhap, if he be an Edgefield man to give the exposition au thorities fair warning of his coming, that suitable prepa rations ma}' be made in Buf falo, against his arrival when-lo, and behold, justas the paper is being issued, that I same person is seen leisurely1 walking around town, as if he ' j had never even so much as? heard of Buffalo, and worst : of all, as if he never cared al i straw about the reliability of j the newspaper. They should at least, solong as it has been mentioned, go home and re main a few days. So long as he promised to be gone, let him be "gone" somewhere This is the inconsistency and mutability of humankind. . It will be stated at another time on supposed good au thority that a certain very prominent gentleman or oth erwise, in the community is extremely ill, and it is print ed, and lo ! as you read, he walks by with all the evidence of health. Of course, the editor is glad to see him well enough to be out at the same time thinks a little longer stay in doors might _have benefit ted him. It is officially announced that the summer school for teachers will be opened on Monday, the 22nd of July. The teachers from far and lear come in town to attend. When they reach the Insti tute building they find the doors closed and no admit tance can be gained. One says to the other, " the paper >o announced it, but then you enow we've long since found Dut that you can't depend on :hem, and they return home r< at outs" with all intelli gence from such a source. Stich are some of the re sults of life's vicissitudes for ivhich the newspaper is re jroached. Irremediable circumstances :aused the change of the date md for the want of some one ;lse to censure, the newspaper s the victim. A glow of pleasure and tope is given the public in eading the announcement hat a dear one in the home, ind in the community is bet er, after a long and critical llness. But strange, as they ead, there comes the sad ound of slow moving wheels, nd the mournful funeral tiain noves sadly along with the ast earthly remains of the be oved friend. This is the dis ?ensation of a mysterions yet indly Providence putting at laught the plans and desires >f mortals. Thus Providence las set a bound to the confi lence of man, and has said : ' Thus far shalt thou go and io farther." If the lawyer or merchant nakes an error, they say " it vas a mistake" and correct t, and if the doctor makes a atal mistake and the patient lies, his errors are buried, mt if the editor makes one it t printed and published far .nd wide and is read and re bated by all manner of men.
