srz ; Ik* Stotfi sal ! Entered at the Postoffice 'berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, April 2, 1912. The good roads congress recently held in Spartanburg passed resolutions favoring federal aid in the buildZ-r* rr /\f rVVQ/^C I It is stated from Washington that Mr. W. J. Bryan favors the nomination of Woodrow Wilson. A pretty sure sign that Mr. Bryan thinks Mr. Wilson's chances for the nomination are not good. ? | A little girl eight years old was run down and killed by an automobile in the public streets of Anderson one day <last week. The wonder is more cnn<iren are not killed. The owners and drivers of these machines should be more careful, and there should be some regulation that those who drive 0 ma^hinps have some training and experience before they are permitted to drive a car. Sometimes some of the drivers seem to be under the i impressioi* that every body must get j out of the way for them?that they ' "hoto o c/vrr r?f nrA'temrtpH risrht fn the i road. The machine is here to stay, but so long as there are a few horses left and some people have to walk these should have a few rights to the pub- j i lie roads and streets. j Thp Greenville Piedmont is mistaken if it thinks that the supporters of Gov. j Blease are going to make a determin-! ed effort to defeat Mr. A. W. Jones for' comptroller general. So far as wej know there is no such effort being'made. If there is it will fail in many j quarters. We -have supported Mr.: Blease, but we are going to support; _ Jir. Jones, lie is one or the names: working and most efficient officers the State has ever had, and so far as we ?.re concerned he will have our vote | for re-election if he is a candidate. If j there has been a scrap between Mr. I Jones and Mr. Blease it is something with which we have nothing to do, and j we have no knowledge of what effect .. . . : .,. : it wiu nave on tne primaries m Aooe-; ville county. Many strained efforts are' being made to show that there are' 1 quarrels which will tend to defeat Mr. Blease. It is a mysterious thing to us how ; any self-respecting man who loves! law and order and justice can make up his mind to support Governor Blease in the face of the record he has made. We can understand why some people voted i'or him two years ago, but wei can't understand why they would do! t: again.?Gaffney Ledger. Now, Ed., we are surprised to hear j you talking in any such manner as ' . that. You have more sense. Accord-. ing to the estimate you place here on manhood, self-respect, law and order, and patriotism you are making an awi ful arraignment of a good and safe ma- j jority of your fellow-citizens, many of; whom are no doubt just as loyal and I true and patriotic and law-abiding as j you are. Don't you get on too high a! horse. He might stumble and great j would be the fall thereof. Keep cool I and don't worry and fret. The old! State is safe yet There are lots of us who are not anarchists, if the learned j judge does intimate it. Don't you lose your head. Take the advice of a true: and tried friend. ? Attorney General Lyon virtually says to Gov. Blease in regard to the! Lexington bank matter: "I have no ; time just now to take the matter up, j but will do so at my leisure. I have j just now more important matters demanding my attention." "Well, we "would guess that some of those people who have money there in the Lexington bank that was placed there since the report made to Mr. Wilson! are of the opinion that this is a very j pressing thing, and if it had been at- j tended to when reported by Mr. Wilson their money would have been saved. We noticed in a pat)er a few clays ; ago that the bank examiner had a man arrester!?a cashier, we believe?over ' in Spartanburg for making an exces- j I . sive loan which was well secured and which was paid promptly when due. It all depends, no doubt. Attorney General Lyon says that all matters in the Lexington bank matter referred to by the governor naa ueei. attended to in the legal manner twc years ago, but a bank reported shakj by Mr. Wilson was permitted to rur on and get worse shaky until it was closed up. We take it for granted tha: Mr. Lyon knows what he is talking about, but if that is the legal marnei of attending to such things the la^ ought to be changed or the office o: bank examiner discontinued. "VVe be lieve it is a good office and should re main. ? The Columbia State prints today ar interesting and illuminating articl< descriptive of the gambling hells, barrooms and the general wide-opennes? of Charleston. The article is a fairlj accurate and reliable directory of the ?omXi,Vor ^ot-QhliclrmAnt<? of the Citv b5 ^ the Sea, and may serve a useful purpose in helping those seeking sport b\ night to find it without resorting tc the employment of a guide. If the State will print a similar directory ol Columbia about the time of the next State fair the uninitiated will have less difficulty in finding the places where they get quick action for their money and something to drink on the side.? Sumter Item. We had just been thinking about the same thing. The fact is there has not been a time since the enactment of the dispensary law when there was not a violation of the law in Charleston, and for that matter in- many other plaoes, but in Charleston it has been ODen. We have not been in Charleston since the racing ha.s been on, but there has never been a time when the blind tigers were not doing business. The gambling places may be more open now than before, just as they are more open in Columbia during the fair, as the Item suggests. As to the selling of liquor we have not seen much difference in Charleston during any of the administrations. It is unfortunate that it is true, not much for the { violation of one law which is against the sentiment of the community, but 011 account of the spirit of lawlessness which it inculcates. The violation 01 one law leads so easily to the violation of other laws and a spirit of disregard of all constituted authority. WHERE IS THE DIFFERENCE? In reply to a request from Clerk of Court Goggans as to the law in regard to the appointment of supervisors oi registration for Newberry county, Attorney General Lyon said: "Tii view of the fact that there is a contest over the books of registration I suggest that you retain them until you are ordered by the court as tc which board you should deliver them I do not see that it is incumbent on you to determine who is lawfully entitled to the possession, and I suggest that it would be well to await instructions from th? court." In reply to a similar request from Sumter coun:y*for an opinion covering the law, the attorney general said: "Rv Section 176, Code of Laws, 1902, Volume 1, the governor is given authority to appoint members of the board of registration by and with the advice and consent of the senate, if in session, and if not in session, subject to approval at its next session. It seems that the appointments for your county were made subsequent to the adjournment of the senate and prior to ~ * # "L-i 4.-U the l*r>th of Marcn. inis uems uit case, it is my opinion that the appointees 'of the govenor may hold the offices until the senate acts upon them at its next session." We were just a little' curious to know if the same opinion did not hold where there was a contest, or if a different opinion had to be rendered in case of a contest, or why could the attorney general give an opinion "wfyen requested from Sumter and decline to give an opinion wutsu <x icqucM is made from Newberry. Or again, why may the supervisors hold office where there is no contest, if they are not legally appointed, and if they are legally appointed, why may they not hold office even if there is a contest. How does a contest change the legality of the appointment. In Sumter county there was no eontest; but the appointments were made after the senate had adjourned. In Newberry and some other counties [ :here were contests, and the appoint. ments were made after the senate adjournd. Where is the difference? ! Shannon-Suber. Editor The Herald and News: It was mv pleasure to attend one of j )! the most brilliant weddings at the j 7 i home of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Shannon, i j on March 28, -when they gave their 51 beautiful daughter, Miss Sarah, to Mr. ^ Orville Suber, in holy wedlock. A large number of invited guests had assemr ' -bled to witness the cermony, which took place at 7.30 p. m., when Rev. O. r A. .Teffcoat nronounced the words that E | made the happy couple man and wife. .! I can not find words to give an ade! quate description of the beautiful dresses worn by the bride and her maids, but will leave that to others more competent to tell of these. 11 After the cermony was over as many > i 'j as could be seated around three tables | were invited into the spacious dining ' hall, which would seat about 25 at l j i once. Then when thsse had finished ' i others were invited in, until all had j been served. My! What a supper. It ! consisted of the best that could be furj nished from a well-regulated farm, ' i such as Mr. Shannon has. It was no 1 i ; | little salad course with punch bowl, ' j but consisted in the finest boiled coun- j ' | try-cured ham, than which nothing is ; better (especially if Aunt Josephine j i Abrams superintended the cooking); she had several of her sisters and . nieces and other lady friends to help j her. There were half dozen fine fat j . turkeys, pork, hash, salad, jellies, j dressing, pickle, cakes and many kinds .1 of fruit, with ether good things too; numerous to mention. The only thing; marrpH tho rilftflSlire of the occa wi, 1UU?? vu V4.- r-w , sion was the-rain that came about : 11.30 p. m., but held up in time for all to get home. Brother and Sister Shannon have a host of friends who rejoice to see them prospering in all good things. The presents were numerous, beautiful and | useful. Hope they will be on hand I when Brother Kay and Sister Jimmie | shall celebrate their golden wedding. ' "So mote it be." A Guest.

SICKLY CHILD Made Weil By Vinol?Letters, from a Grateful Mother ! | New Haven, Conn.?"My little girl, ; ever since her birth, was frail and j ; {sickly and nothing seemed to do her | any good until we tried your cod liv-1 , | er and iron tonic, Vinol. As soon as | she commenced to take it, I noticed j j an improvement in her health and ap? | 1 j pearance. She has now taken three j 1 bottles of Vinol, and from the good it has done her I can say it will do all: . you claim for it in building up and strengthening frail and delicate children." (Name furnished on request.) Another mother of Chicago, 111., j ' writes: "I can not say too much in praise of Vinol for delicate, ailing children." We ask every mother of a frail, , sickly or ailing child in this vicinity j to try Vinol on our agreement to rei turn their money if it does not do all we. claim. I NOMINATIONS. > .
