Entered at the Postofficu at V<nv erry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, June 4, 1912. Newberry is justly proud of her fine school system. The city schools commencement exercises this week are a credit to one of the best public school rl onvurh arA tV CTt> 1VUUU O01AJ nu^v, "Why should the Columbia State continue to think that these are not Democrats who differ from or disagree with it on methods?"?Anderson Mail. Echo answers, Why? With the graded school commence nient this week, the college commencement next week, and then Chautauqua the last week in this month, the people of Newberry are having a respite from politics. * The fact that a teacher leaves a city on the eve of the commencement ex ercises of a school, unless caneaaway toy sicknss or other emergency, is not very forcible indication on the part of the teacher of any very sincere interest in the school.

The State Press association will hold its annual meeting at Spartanburg next week, June 10 and 11. An interesting and instructive program has been arranged, but on account of conflict with commencements, some of us will not be able to attend. After the meeting it is proposed to take a trip over the C. C. & 0. railroad into the coal fields. "Wild Storm Sweeps Over Newberry Cou$$y"?headline.

THE ROADS. The past winter has given a very forcible demonstration of the value of the split log drag. "Where the roads have been dragged, even though it has been a very severe winter, they are now in good condition, but where they have not had the drag applied, they are full of holes and can not be made smooth and good roads during the summer without considerable trouble. Of course, in many cases, the farmers have been forced to use their .teams on the farms whenever the land would do to plow, but it seems to us that a little work on the roads Would havp hf^n pfonnmv. anfl aVati .a. sav ing to the farmer, because he has frequent occasion to use the road in connection with his farm operations, and by having the road in good condition, he could have saved more time than it would have taken to drag it. LET THERE BE AX E>D SOME WHEEE. : JMr. H. H. Evans was acquitted in r the Richland county court las; " c : of the charge of accepting a rebate of fifty dollars" while a dispensary direc' tor, from a whiskey drummer. The pvidpnpp of flip State was submitted? presumably all the evidence the State had?and a jury of Richland, who are presumed to be honest and patriotic j | until the contrary is made to appear,! said by their verdict tnat tne state had not made out a case. The attorney general and his numerous assistants, it seems to us, have had ample time to secure any evidence there was against Mr. Evans, if any there was, and ample time to have presented it a good while ago. Witli a nol pros by the State in Newberry on an indictment against Evans, and a verdict of not guilty in Columbia, it would seem that it is about time to - - _ _ />! leave Mr. j&vans m peace, jjenaimy any further effort on the part of the attorney general to take him into the court would savor very strongly of: persecution, rather than prosecution, j In fact, that fifty-dollar case in Rich- j land, in the light of the course of the i * XT- ~ ! attorney general in tut? :\cwuen7 court, did not have the right ring about it. It will be recalled that an indictment was handed out against Evans here in June, 1910. Evans asked for a trial at that term, and the attorney general refused to go to trial. At the succeeding November, March and June | terms of court Evans demanded a trial, | and each time the attorney general j refused to go to trial. Finally in | June, 1911, a nol pros was entered J toy the State under the order of Judge i Watts passed at the March term that I if the State was not ready at the June j ; | term a nol pros should issue. It should be remembered that even ! ' if a man was connected with the old I State dispensary, he is still a human | being, and that most of these men have j ! families. If there was evidence sufIficient to put them on trial, they ! should have been put on trial, but this j continual keeping a man in court with ; a charge hanging over him is no vin- j dication of law, and is hardly consist-j I ent with the high duties of the attorney general's office, or with the peace and dignity of the State he is supposed to represent. If the attorney general has not had | his day in court in these cases, it is ! not for lack of time, and it is not for 1 lack of lawyers employed to assist : | him, and we sincerely hope the State has seen the end of them. ~ * DAWSO-V WIXS 500-JTTLE KACE. { i'.?- 1 Bruce-Brown, Winner of Grand Prize, Breaks Down and Weeps When Forced to Quit, I After leading all the way from start to the 198th lap, Ralph de Palma's j Mercedes developed engine trouble and j Joe Dawson's National came up from six laps behind at Indianapolis on Thursday and won the second annual j 500-mile sweepstakes automobile race j in the record time of 6.31; 06.

David Bruce-Brown was the next to leave the track. "When he found that his National was out for good, he broke down and wept. Others dropped out until there were only ten cars to finish.
