A PAXAZA EDITION.
Everything done by the Charleston
News and Courier is well done, always.
That newspaper does not play to the
galleries in grand stand displays.

There is no gauuy jcuu?? ;v Ux uauuM |
about it. It "pursues the even tenor
of its vray" and is steady and reliable
in its course. It does not seek to
get into or keep in the glaring and
blinding limelight of sensationalism
at the expense of decent journalism.

pure and safe paper as it is possible
for one to be on the rough, unsettled,
stormy, troubled, impure and dirty sea
of journalism. Hence, whiat it says
carries weight and what it does holds
good, and the influence of last Friday's
edition will be beneficially felt
by future years.1
The Panama edition of that really
great newspaper?great in its every
day steadfastness?is to be lasting in j
its accomplishment of good, a vast j
deal of good, not alone to Charleston,!
but to South Carolina and the t-erri- i
mmVintr thp "Plmnh Line Port
l Uiy iuuvuiuq ^ _
to Panama." It is something to contemplate,
this Panama editon of 92 j
pages of intensely interesting and:
truly important reading matter. This
immense edition ought to b-? preserv- '
ed in South Carolina homes for coming
generations. It is rich in possibil-1
ities, and it is not surprisng that theJ
News and Courier shc.uld have sue- J
ceeded in producing so magnificent a
production, but after recovering from J
j
the thrill of amazemwit at first be-;
j
holding the enormous edition, second !
thought of grasping the situation is
pleasant and gratifying. Bright and
promising is the view presented by the
sublime "port to Panama."' The managing
secretary of the Charleston
(
chamber of commerce, Mr. A. V. Snell,
says:
"The eightieth meridian passes
through the west end of Lake Ontario,
the east end of Lake Erie, the city of
Pittsburg and Charelston, the Panama
Canal, touches the west coast of j
South America and Guayquil, with
practically the entire continent of
South America to the east. In other
words, a plumb line dropped from the
mouth of the Charleston harbor would
pass directly through the Panama
Canal. This is the ^eason why Charleston
has been eel-led "The Plumb
Line Port to Panama.""
v It is a big idea to grasp?the mighty
ships from Panama to Charleston?
coal, grain and so forth pouring into
the city for distribution throughout
the country, Charleston being, as it
were, the mouth of a "funnel through
which the products of a contient will
pass on the way to the Panama canal.'"
The Panama edition of the Newsr
and Courier is a feast, a banquet of
good things. .
We notice from the interview of
Governor Blease published elsewhere
that the Supreme court holds that it
is a conflict with the constitution for
one man to hold the office of school
trustee and commissioner of election.
We understood that the legislature
two years ago directed the attorney |
general to bring proceeding to test thequestion
as to whether a man could !
hold trusteeship of a college and another
office, and that it was decided
that this was not an inhibition of the
constitution. We may be mistaken
about his, but certainly, there are
orC T1 On i T"i Of n f a o n r\rrs* ??r?
1MJL LUC OWCILC, OO UUT^lUUl
Blease points out, who are holding
positions of trustee in State colleges
and also other positions of honor and
profit.
There are two sections of the constitution
relating to holding two offices:
one of them refers especially
to members of the general assembly
and goes so far as to state that any
man who exercise? the duties of any
other position 6ball not be a repre- j
sentative in the general assembly. It
may be, as Governor Blease says,]
that these sections were not meant to
apply to those who are higher up, but
only to the little fellows who hold jobs
as school trustee and commissioner
of election.
Of course, there are those to say
that anyone who raises this question
is doing it for politics. ? constitution
should be obeyed.
Tcn.;ia nn tho train a few days ago
II UliV/ VA* VMW _ w
between Newberry and Columbia, our
attention was Cilled to an officer who
had two prisoners in charge, taking
one to the reformatory, in Florence,
and the other to the State peniten
tiary. One was a white boy about
fourteen years old, who, it was learned,
hac? been convicted of assisting
an older person to steal a cow. The
other was a negro man who had been
convicted of criminal assault and was
sentenced to twenty years in the pen- j
i
itentiary. The boy, it was learned,
had been sentenced to the reformatory,
in Florence, until he was twenty-one.
The thing that attracted our attention
was the fact that this officer had
this little boy handcuffed to the negro
criminal. It may be alright, but!
somehow it did not appeal to us as
ii-; c ?
oeing tne proper uimg iui me umtw
I
to do, even though tJie white boy had
b-een convicted in the courts, we do
not think he should have been handcuffed
to the negro man, as he was on
this occasion. It may be legal to do
so, but it was not right. The boy
had a good face and an open and
frank expression and he should not
have been handcuffed to an od crimi
inal.

With the number of automobiles.
i
that are being lun in the city and:
county of Newberry, it would be well I
for all the drivers to observe the rule,!
and we believe it is also a law, "always
turn to the right."
Fortunately, no accidents of a very j
i
serious nature have happened in I\ew- j
berry, but unless the people who drive
cars are more careful and more particular
in observing the law which
requires all vehicles to turn to the
right in meeting other vehicles, there
is danger of some serious accidents.
Another matter that should be observed
by all automobilists is the j
sounding of the gong in turning the j
corners of the streets in Newberry.!
Some of the streets are very narrow j
and it has been very fortunate that
there has been no serious accident.
Senator E. D. Smith has introduced ;
a bill in congress to require all Pull- 1
man companies to provide separate accommodations
for the races in those
States where there is a separate coach '
law. This is the proper wTay to have
a separate Pullman car for the negroes,
and we hope the bill will pass.

GOT. BLEASE 0>~ DICK LAW.
Refuses to Muster Out Militia and
Scores Dick Law?Thinks Mistake
To Have Passed It
Columbia. S. C., May 27, 1913.?
"You can simply say to Mr. Mills
that the sooner he withdraws the control
of the United States government
over the volunteer militia of South
Carolina, the better it will he for
South Carolina, and all the people of
the United States," said Governor
Blease in a letter to Adjt. Gen. Moore, i
this morning, refusing to muster out
some of the militia companies of this
cfoto Thp letter cf the governor to
ututv* * ?
the adjutant general follows:
"Your letter of May 27 received, with
enclosures from Brig. Gen. A. L. Mills.
"You ask me to inform you of my decision
at an early date. I take pleasure
in doing so immediately.

expressed my opinion of the 'Dick |
law,' and repeat that I think that it
was a great mistake on the part of our
people to go into it. That covers Section
3 of his letter.
"As to Section 4, in which he states
'It is not the policy of the war depart- i
ment to foster the maintenance of or- j
ganizations,' etc. You can simply say ;
to Mr. Mills that, in my opinion, the !
sooner he withdraws the control of the j
United States government over the
volunteer militia of South Carolina the
better it will be for South Carolina,
and all th? people of the Southern j
States, and that this would meet with j
my hearty approval as governor and
commander-in-chief of the South Car
Olina VOlUIlieer umuia.
"As to Section in which ho says 'it
would appear that the only way to
remedy existing conditions would bc tomuster
th<? organizations out of the
service.' As governor and commander-in-chief
I do not propose to do
any such thing. His letter was a
waste of time and material."
Parole and Pardon.

th-e July, 1911, term of court for Barn-,

A New Directory.
The new directory of the Southern
Bell has been delivered to the subscribers
at Newberry and Prosperity,
by Manager J. J. Roach. The new
directorv is attractive in appearance
and contains all the changes and corrections
in listing that have been
made since the last directory was
printed. The number of *k-v raphes
appearing in the list would indicate
that there are constant additions to
the number of subscribers at Newberry
and Prosperity, and the telephone
development is continuous.
The Southern Bell has evolved a
plan whereby it furnishes telephoneservice
to farmers and other rural
residences on an economical basis.
As a result the telephone is now the
rule rather than the exception, on

Aiken, May 27.?An army of I
Knights of Pythias, about 200 strong
advanced upon Aiken today. Many
of the knights came, upon a special
train over the Southern railway from
Columbia, which arrived shortly before
noon. They were met at the
d-epot by delegations from the Aiken
lodge and the Boy Scouts, and went
at once to the Thestone theatre where
those arriving on other trains during 1
the morning had assembled.
