Entered at the Postoffce at New berry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, October 31,- 1911. The Darlington News and Press has just issued an industrial and trade edi tion of that paper containing 48 pages. and it carries not only a write-up of Dat-lington, but it carries 34 pages of advertising, besides a number of part pages. It is a credit to the town and:' to the publishers. It is said that near-beer saloons are ffourishing in Union. Most near-bear saloons sell the real article. We do not know about the beer saloons, butl *e do know from what we saw that Mayor Duncan is doing things in U ion and he will have a town worth while when he retires. It is in some sense humorous to those in position to know better to read the silly vaporings of those who are trying to make a mountain out of the so-called Till-man-Richards-Jones combination. There was -no meeting] of these three, there is no combina tion between them, and no possible ] likehood of there being any. The dhole thing vrasl born in somebody's imagination and is growing in like soil. This is no guess work; we know what we are talking about.-Camden News. With a eertain element it is any-f thing or anybody. The rumor camei from and started with, and was kept in circulation by theee who are try ing to make it appear that there is a .1 breach ibetween Senator Tillman ahd the governor, and that the senator vin obpose the.govortnor for r4-4lec tin knA thy AM no better friends of Mr. Tillman than .they ,are of Mr. 'a N1ease. In their desperation, .those r who desire ~th'e defeat of the gover nor are, som'ewhat like the old woman who.went out to pray for a' husband1 andt mistook the hooting of an owl for11 the 'Voice of the Lord and answered to g it, A .nybody Lord." IS HE SENATOR STILL NIEUTRAL a IK is inferred trpm the statement!1 Governor Blease ha. turished the ' new'spapers that he nas received from I Senator Tillmnan a letter assuring the gov4rnor that the senator had nothing ~ Justice Jones as a candidate for gov ernor.- Is there anything in the letter ~o indicate that the senator has in any degree changed his attitude of neutrality between Blease and Jones? That is the important phase of the' matter, if the -matter is iEmortant at all * e agree heartily with Governor Blease in one thing at least, and that . is that the time has passed when any ~ man can dictate to the people of South ~ * Carolina who shall be governor. If ~ Cole. L. Blease is reelected next year, , it will be because the people want him , as governor and not because Ben Till-( man wants him. The above is fr'mi the Columbia d Record, and has reference to the state- I - .ment given out by Gov. Blease. We agree with the Record that the matter contained in the statement is 'iot im- ~ portant, but the persistency with which i the papers were -referring to it made. it almost imperative that the gwernor make a statement. Nearly every paper printed in South Carolina since thet thing started has had some sor't of , reference to a breach between Gov. C Blease and Senator Tillmnan, as if it amounted to any great ,thing with which the public was particularly in terested even if there had been. The effort seemed to be to induce Gov. c Blease to run against Senator Till We are frank to say that we think some parts of Gov. Blease's statementt could well have been left off without i detracting from the force of it, and in- fact would have made it stronger.1 Another statement hias been given out in Spartanburg that Judge Jones is not the man who was to be brought I out next year, and that his announce-I ment interfered with a conference that! . was seir&A - ' held in Columbia 1 --'7',t ap h fuis rs au ceBe upo a man. There is one thing that the governor i.nd the Record both have down cor rect, and that is that no one man can: lictate to the people how they shall vote. They are going to vote as they please. We will say in passing, however, hat in our opinion the newspap-rs. would have vastly more influbnce in shaping the politics of the State if they were inclined to be a little more [air and tolerant with those who did not agree with their views. There is omething deep down in the human breast which repels against unfair methods and that demands that every man be given a fair chance and an qual opportunity. Gov. Blease should be very grateful to the press of the State for we firmly believe the unfair methods used against him had as much to do with his success as any one: ause. We believe in a fair fight, and f we get whipped to take our medi ine like a little man. THE IDLER. * IC *1 I have read what. Eimi and Uncie Briggs and others have had to say thout the old court house and the pub ic square and I have been interested. )f 6ourse, my few renarks heretofore nade on the subject have been over ;hadowed by these more learned dis ,ourses, and I should say more edify ng discuss.ions of the important sub ect, and, therefore, I have refrained1 rom making any more suggestions and IQ pt. now intend to enter into the Lrena except to make -an observation >r two, I was .passing down by the! iew court house the other day-and! iy the way that is a very handsome uilding to have cost so little-but II ms going on to sa that I passedl, ,long there and I stbed and looked iver the field, and I was wondering khy there should be so much land, .d if land is so valua;ble in Newber y, why not sell (ff two corner lots here and help pay for a new jail and he debt for the coifrt bouse. What's he use of all that land around there ! are going to look only to the itilitaran side of thle question? Two oodY store lots could be laid off on! ither corner fronting College street,I .nd I should think they would bring1 good price. Onre might be used for feed stable, and then when we came a from the country to attend court ve could have a convenient place to!. iut up our horses. But the money: is he thing. What do'we care for beau-L y? That seems to be the argument if these utilitarians who are taking b the 'discussion .of the old court ouse propositionl. -0 And by the way, I observed another hing on this trip- around that side, Lnd it is this: The trotwell hotel has rome viery weak looking ladders lead-1 ng dn the side of the building, I uppose mneant for fire escapes, and *here is. provided a beautiful pond, or o be more elegant, a beautiful pool' if water just ibeneath, so that if the1 tre escape should break the fall would tot be so 'severe,' and then the water vouId cool from the heat. And the vagon road is being made out over one orner of one of these lovely buildi.ng ots of which I spoke. Another evi lence of the utilitarian idea which is irevalent in this community. -0 Mr. Idler: I reckon you are a mis er. Anyhow, if you are not I hope1 'ou will take no offense and awe ny question. I see you have a copy if the statutes of the town, and I; see1 sign on a .piece of tin on the tele-I ihone pole in front of Summer Broth rs corner which reads something like' his: "Autos stop." Now please tell ne what the ordinance or statute says in the subject, or is there any statute in the subject? And then pleasel tell ne what "stop" means. Auto. Now I wonder why they ask me such uestions like that. -Of course, every iody knows the law, and if every body Loes not, I want to say that ignorance~ s no excuse in law. Or that is what ] used to hear when I took some in-I erest in such matters. And then, any[ ool ought to 'know what "stop" means. 1ease pardon me. I do not intend to i personal in the slighest degree. But o satisfy "Auto" I will say that I till have a copy of tihe "blue book,"V nd section 201 reads: "Sec. 201. Ev ry automobile, locomchile, autocar, or >ther self propelled vehicle, shall be rought to a full and complete stopj >y the person or persons in charge Fancy Embr( -AN] Wash Embri We have added a line Pieces in Pillow Tops, C Scarfs, Tray Cloths, Spb Holders, Glove Bags, Fai Covers, Etc., in Brown I All colors in Wash Sill See Windoi Anderson I Farmer We have just r Lynchburg Turn I Smoothing Harrc Stalk Cutter on -t for inspection. A special price o1 Complete line W gies. Please call. Purcell esection of Main and Caldwell r ~eets." Is that plain enough? It ias not only a "stop" but a, "comn- U te stop." It seems to ane that a *g ~tp is a stop and if it is a stop It is e noplete or it could not be a stop, but a elaw says a "complete stop." Now, a ro want to know wagt "stop" means. ~1, Mr. Noah Webster says: "To tese to go on; to halt, or stand still; come to a stop. To cease from any g ntion, or course gf action." Or as a a: ion it means: "The act of stopping, ft rthe state of being stopped; hini- c: Irnce of progress or action; cessa.- V .n; repression~ interruption;' check; ti struction." I hope that is plain e: >nugh. Then, there are several oth- i rsections in this book on the sub- g t, interposing fines and penalties a: Ln fixing speed .limits, but what do ni hy .matter? They are only there as a: rament. Do you know the speed ji iit is six miles the hour, and that a re is scareely a machine i-n New- ci ry that can go as slow as six miles a hhour? And do you know that al re is not one driver in ten that o 'ops" as required by the law in the ie yk? Then -what's the use in having s e law? i _0-_ k I hope "Auto" will be satisfied, and 1 I )sibly he will not ask me any more astions of law. I think I will be- a 1n to charge for my advice and then .. ,ybe it will 'be considered more valu be. I hav'e always heard that most >plc thought more of what they r d for than what they got for noth . So far is I am concerned itJ. kes very little difference to me E ether automobiles stop or not, or ether they run at 40 miles the lr, just so they stay off the side- 1: 11s. nd by the way, there is an rinance .prohibiting them running nthe sidewalk. I have not seen any lthe sidewalk, and I have seen very. vw come to a "complete stop" as re- t uired,. and I know none keep to the t :i miles the hour limit, but I try to a ie the road or the sidewalk when ver I see one coming.1 -0 am a friend of the automobile my- d ;ef, and I am hoping that I m.ay be h )idery Work D )idery Silk. of Fancy Embroidery :entre Pieces, Bureau ishers, Scarf Bags, Tie icy Work Bags, Table inen and white goods. ks, 2 Skeins for 5c. v Display.

I would get out on some of 1e good ce)untry roads and try to et more good country roads, or rath rmore good roads in the country.,The utomobile appeals to .me more as time saver than a pleasure carriage. This little book that I hava has a reat many more statutes, but I am Eraid to quote too many at one0 time, r the editor would want to !be iarging for their publication. Some ery interesting laws are therein con Lined. I heard some things the'oth r day that make me feel like preach ig another sermon-a sermon on raft-that is the thing now-but I ci just a little ibit afraid to do it to ight, as I am feeling bad and sad, rid I might not be able to do the sub et justice. I guess you have heard little something escout graft in re ant years. Well, I am told there are 11 kinds of graft. I don't know much bout it myself, as I never had the3 ppoortunity of any personal exper nce, but I feel like theorizing on ths ubject sometimes. The love of money a great curse. Graft is whnat is nown as decent and respectable steal ig. Do you know what that means?~ guess I had better stop. And make complete stop. The Idler.
