Entered xt the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, May 26, 1911. This is a good time to talk about the weather, and if it should happen ito rain, the courts are still left to Jump on. While they will all be fine, there will be no comparison between the add-esses and the dresses of the com meneement season which Is almost upon us. Editors who supported Blease for governor are so rare that whenever oRe of them gets sick the governor goes to visit him.-Spartanburg Journal. We are sorry you wrote that sen tence, and we believe that you, in your aner moments, will be sorry, too. In the appointment of Mr. H. A. M. Smith, of Charleston, as United States district judge for South Carolina, to succeed Judge W. H. Brawley, Presi dent Taft has again given evidence of that admirable spirit, which has char acterized him in his appointments of judges, which disregards party lines and seeks character and merit. It does seem that Attorney General Lyon has had ample time to get ready in the cases which he has brought against those connected with and who !a4 dealings with the old State dispen sary, It is reported from Columbia at four defendants were in court there yesterday demanding a trial, nd that "the solicitor notified the ecourt for 3. Fraser Lyon, attorney general of South Carolina, that the State was not ready for trial at this tefn,l" These and other ca.ses hiave been hangink over for a long time, and *.ey ought to be disposed of. The con stitution guarantees the~ "right to a speedy and public trial by an impar tial jury," and we suppose it means what it says, though the constitution seems to be held in very light esteem these days 'by even law-makers and' those charged with the enforcement of the law. We would like to see the whole old State dispens'ary business and all *matters coiinected with it wound up and got rid of and forgotten, if pos sible. BETTER 90 SLOW. The following editoirial from the Columbia Daily Record is of particu lar interest at this time. and preaches a good doctrine along with the state ment of facts which it gives:. "The Anderson Daily Mail denomi nates as "fake journalism" the story published in some of the South Caro lina papers that the emrployes of the Ware -Shoals mill had demanded a holiday on the occasion of Governor Blease's speech at that place, and the Orangeburg Times and Democrat re lers to the story as "a lie out of the whole cloth." Other papers have .had similar comments. It will be wefl to proceed a little more cautiously in the matter of denouncing a story pub lished in a reputable newspaper, writ ten by a reputable newspaper man. whose chief asset- in his profession is his reputation for truth and veracity. "As for The Daily Record. this newspaper has no interest in the mat ter. The story was not published in this papeir. But we are free to say that we have since read a letter writ ten by one of the most reliable and anost prominent business men of Co -lumbia. confirming the "tip" which h* gave to the reporter who wrote the story. This gentleman was the re porter's authority for the story. and the gentleman himself received his information personally from an offi cial who was assuredly authorized to speak for the Ware Shoals mill com pany. The story did not emanate from the governor nor any of his friends." LTVED OFF- ROULETTE WHEEL. Man With a System Had no Desire to Break Monte C'arlo Bank. Baltimore American. "Not onsg since T was ah!e to stratn fy an ancient desire to see Mo::tb Carlo and I spent almost a month at that famous resort." remarked John S. Prabe ro St. Johns, N. B. at the Rennert. "Of course it is the world's greatest gambling camp and it makes each year for the operating syndicate a' f clean profit of $5,000,000. but it is in corporated as the Society for Reerea tion and Health-giving Baths. remind- I ing one of some of the sporting clubs i of this country, which pretend to bel1 established for literary ana scientinc T purposes. but which have only game- 2 sters in their membership. "The curious specimens of Duman ity at Monte Carlo interested me far more than the play, though I patron ized the roulette tables in a moderate way. breaking about even on the whole experiment. One man with whom I struck up an acquaintance I found worth cultivating. He was a modestly dressed. quiet sort of citizen, and what attracted my attention to him was that he never remained in the Casino more than one hour, al though he was constant in his attend ance. "He confessed to me that he had no passion for gambling, such as ani mated the vast majority; no dreams of breaking the bank ever disturbed his nocturnal visions. All he desired was to make a living out of the wheel and this he had done for the past 15 years, not a grand living, but com fortable, merely by exercising self restraint. "He was a system player, and he stuck to his system undeviatingly,1 leaving the gambling salle after a fixed number of plays on red or white, odd or even, no matter wheth er he won or lost. If loser he doub led up the next day and when he had retrieved the previous day's losses plus his daily living expenses, which was the goal of his ambitions, he de parted, no matter how strong luck seemed coming his way." A Matter of Caution. Blanche Ring is always preaching caution-whether she practices it or not is, as Kipling says, another story, relates Youngs Magazine. "if every i one was on'ly as cautious as a man I once knew," she said the other night1 as she was waiting to go on in "The Yankee Girl," nobody would eVer go broke. He called at the money brde? i' I asked 'permission to se~nd an order for $100 to the 'old country.' Then the man with the money gave his own name as payee. "'I'm going ovier next week,' hefl volunteered. 'and I want to have the money waiting for me on the otheri side, so that I can giVe it to my mother.' "'Why don't you take it with you?1 asked the alerk. 'You would save 40< cents.' "'Well, suppose the ship sinks and I drown?' " Taking N'o Chances. The druggist approached the celes tial gate. St. Peter opened the por tal for him and bad.e him enter and join the heavenly choir. "Not so fast." admonished the corn pounder of pills. "Before I go in there I want to ask a few questions. Have you any city directories in Paradise?" "No," repli.ed St. Peter. "Any remedies for growing hair on .bald heads and door -knobs." "None." "Any soda fountains?" "We don't .know what they are." "Do you sell stamps?" "We don't use them here." 1 "And last but not least, have you aytlphones?" any hve not" "Then I'll go in, for I 'guess this is heaven all right, all right."-Louis ville Post. Deserved Compensation. "Booth Tarkington is very difficult to please in matt,ers theatrical." said-a famous Philadelphia novelist. "Tar kin gton was visiting me 'here during the run of one of his own plays, and after dinner one evening we saunter ed to the theatre. But the doorkeep;er did not know us and for somne little time r"fused to let us in. Finally, ' though, Tarkington's identity was es tablished. and w.e were conducted to a stage box. "The performance wasn't up to. much. Tarkington fidgeted in his chair, and at the end of the first act he suggested that we go. On our way out I saw my illustrious friend 'peering anxiously 'about the lobby. "'What are you. looking for?' I) "'I looking.' said Tarkington, 'for that chap who wouldn't let us in. I want to give him a quarter.' " New York Press. Du Tell. To se how little the old1 New Eng and gra ndmother thinks when youl are reading to her I read the follow-: ing account to an old New Bedford woman from the Boston Herald. Hold uin tXe newn--e bottom sidc- up., it ,omnenct,d: "Last nighiT. yeserda y morning, .bout I o'clock in the afternoon, be ore breakfast. a hungry -boy, about 40 years old, bought a big custard or a levy, and threw it through a rick wall nine feet thick. and jump ng over it, broke his right ankle off bove his left kee, and fell into a dry cill-pond and was drowned. About 0 years after that, on the same day, in old cat had nine turkey gobblers; a. high wind blew Yankee Doodle on a. frying pan, and killed a sow and two lead pigs at Boston, where a deaf 3,nd dumb man was talking to his 3,unt Peter." Whereupon the old lady, :aking a long breath, exclaimed: "Du tell!" NOTICE TO TAX DELINQUENTS. Hon. Jno. L.
