Z. H. AULL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, JANUARY 3. As to Social Clubs. An unfavorable committee report has been made on Mr. Ear4hardt's bill in the house to abolish social clubs, and it seems altogether prob able 'the measure will receive unfav orable consideration at the hands of the house. In our opinion it is well. We fail to see where any great amount of good could be accomplish ed by abolishing social clubs. We have no doubt some of these clubs in the larger cities are run in viola tion of the dispensary law. But be cause a social club in Charleston, for instance, sells a drink of whiskey, is it desired to abolish the Commercial Club in Charleston and the Cosmo politan Club in Columbia? The leg islature might as well attempt -Eo say that a man shall not keep whiskey in his home as that tw,; or three, or possibly fifty or a hundred men shall not: keep whiskey for their own use in any place they may choose. The bill ought not to pass, and probably has already'been buried by the.un favorable committee report. The Crusade Against Crime. In 'his recent annual report to the general. assembly Attorney General Gur%er says: "The crusade against crime recently instituted in this State by the patriiotic citizens generally, and the pulpit and press particular ly, has had'an appreciably wholesome effect. Such efforts have been prop erly directed, for the only hope of improvement in any record of crime is to educate public sentiment to a degree that it considers crime, as such, degrading, and the criminal obnoxious." The attorney general is right. A healthy public sen-timent is-.what is. needed to stamp out crime. We believe conditions in this state are improving an.d we believe this improvement will continue. *The friends of the South Carolina college can't help but wonder if 'the result wouldn't have been different had.Superintendent Martin not men tiQned the Citadel in proposing to make .the South Carolina College a uni'ersity. -It is reported that M.. 3. Dwyer, "the well known catch-as-catch-can wrestler," has been engaged to in struct President Roosevelt and his son in wrestling and boxing. If the Southern cities which have been pressing invitations upon President Roosevelt, should include some box ing and wrestling matches in their programme of entertainment, per haps the president could be induced to give favorable consideration to the invitations. It is repor'ted from Atlanta that Governor Terrell will not grant per mission to negro troops of Georgia to attend the inauguration of Presi dent Roosevelt, "The Lincoln Guards of Macon," it is stated, "com manded by Sandy Lockhart, have already made arrangemen'ts to at tend the inauguration of the presi dent, but when formal requent for leave of absence of the company is made it will be denied by the govor nor on the ground that he does not want the State of Georgia represent ed on such an occasion by negro troops." How sad to Mr. Roose v.elt must have been this announce men*! A Columbia special to the News and Courier of yesterday morning denies the rumor that Senator Til! man is seriously ill, and continues: "Senator Tillman is at his home in Trenton, w4here he is as well as he was when he left Washington to re cuperate from the grip. He is up and about, attending to things about the place, and his chief concern is that his beautiful flowers bhave been injured by Ehe recent cold snap." While the State rejoices, of course, that Senator Tillman is in excellent health, it sympathizes with him deep ly in the injury to his beautiful eowers, as a result of the recent cold snap. We all sincerely hope the flowers may speedily recover. Big Profits. Immediately after the great fire in Baltimore some leadeing society wo men of the city opened lunch counter establishments for business men until better arrangements could be made. The enterprises have paid such hand some dividends that the society wo men have decided to keep on, turning over to subordinates the actual work of running the eatEing 'houses. A Negro Cotton Planter. Washington Post. There is a colored man living near Kinfgfisher, Okla., who has the best cotton farm in the country, and has i6o acres planted. He will doubtless make over 50 bales and his income from the sale of his cotton will be ncdrly all profit, for he utilized on his place the labor of z6 children, all his own. Just Like a Woman.
