It seems that South Carolina is go- | ing to get the national aid for the militia and not muster out ten or fifteen companies. The&e companies that j did not come up to some of the technical requirements of the law are going to be given three months in which to comply. Of course, until they do come up they will not get any of the money. It is a good thing that " ?j w/\ll tViie litflp I it Has au enueu s>u ?>cu.?^ stir about the militia. > The old vets are having a hot time | of it at Gettysburg, but we bet they are having a good time at the same time. Here's to 'em. There hav$_ been some fine opportunities to use the split log drag on | - J- v,iit -el-o r^nnht if I me ruaus uuv ..~ ?? , any drag has been used in the county. It costs so little and it does so much good the wonder is the people who are most interested will not use it more. Maybe it is too simple and inexpensive. I What has become of lMr. C. E. Summer who was going to call a meeting of the automobile owners to organize a good roads club and do som-etlfing j worth while on the roads, or some I of them at least. We will be glad to J ^publish the call and cooperate in any way we can. Cooperation is the plan. Congressman Lever in an address address to the farmers of Richland county the other day said that it "would not be long before we wouia * - <^---?1- nnt nnlv an nave in soma ^aiuimu, - _ , official cotton weigher, but also $?j. official cotton grader. We guess lie is , right, but somehow we do not like this ' tendency for everything to 'be run by : the government. We read a book J i i many years ago which was called , Looking Backward, in which the posi- < tion was taken that the time was com- i ing when we would all work for the i* j. *? ? ninvi'Kor vMr? and !' government iui <% uumwi j all be fed at the government trough, ^ and when we got too old to work the ^ government would take care of us. < That time seems to be approaching < very rap-idly. It may be the ideal government, but somehow we always thought the people made the government, ana that such a condition would wipe out all individuality and all ambition and all self-reliance. Our notions may be all too oldtimey , for this progressive and enlightened age. Everybody now seems to want a public job of some kind, it matters not much or what it pays, or whether lie is fitted to fill it or not, and maybe , when the time comes 'when we are all working for the government we may i Have reacnea me iuea.i m ni= aUU | government. That was a terrible arraignment our cotemporary made of his brethren of the press in his last issue. They may he bought by the railroads, as he ' charges, and they may be tools of the 1 corporations, but we don't believe it. We think there ar- probably a few honest ones left. It may be that the j. only honest ones are the few who do ; not exchange advertising for trans- \ imrtatinn in our iudsrment his chare- ' es are unjust, unfair, and in many of th^m not in accord with the facts, j We have no argument with him, how- j ever, and we expect soon to see a law j passed to have government editors ?>r some law regulating what shall he printed, and thsn what our ration st all j De. mese are wonaenui umcs *uu rapid changes are in order. They say j the world is growing better, but every- j thing now must be regulated by law | and the old doctrines that every man; is Dresumed innotent until he is . proven .guilty is reversed in this modern and progressive age, and now ; every man is suspected as a grand rascal until he proves the contrary. \ and even then the presumption is i against him. However, so long as we ! remain around h^re we will try to be law abiding. TVia rtVioiifoiinna WPPlr rlo^Pfl j I UV VilUUlUUVJUW " VVik "V?w in Newberry on Wednesday. It would have been more generally observ-ed if the people of the city and county had known more about it. The entertainments given by the Alkahest company were far above the average not cnturtoinm on + /inf UULJ ILL liXClll Vi lUL VUlVi LUiuiiivxi t u ^ ^ in the personnel of the entertainers. We are satisfied that the financial end would have been much more satisfactory if the people generally had known more about the entertainment and the entertainers. As a matter of fact, it was not as thoroughly adverf I tised as it should have been, but we are satisfied if it should be put on an- J other year, as no doubt it will be, it will prove a financial success. The State and Federal governn^nts are all becoming more and more interested in the building and mainten anc? 01 me puouc roaas, ana me people genrally are filled with enthusiasm for road improvement, but as stated in an article by the director of public highways, while the people are spend- i ing enormous sums in the construction j of superb roads almost without excep- j tion they are making no provision to j . care for the roads after they are J built. ! This is the point that we have been j endeavoring for several years to lay : i stress on. We have seen.it in our own j county within the past few years. W-e j have had some excellent roads built, \ but for lack of attention and care for their maintenance they soon became worse than they were before their building. The maintenance of the j roads is just as important as the builtji* g of fhem. Hail Storm Rips Cotton Crops. Johnston, June 30.?The section of j country between here and Edgefield j was struck by a hail storm Saturday j evening and some parts of it the crops I were completely destroyed. The heaviest of it was on (). W. Wright, W W. Doby, J. M. Wright, J. W. Batcher, L. M. Clark, Chas. Turner,! r. A. Broadwater and C. P. Kirkland. j Cotton is trimmed up and some has : Qot a leaf left on the stalk, while i some may sprout out, but can't pos- ; sibly make a half crop on what they have. Corn is split up and the blades look like shoe strings and is damaged j to a large extent. The storm was severe on others, but not as hard as an those mentioned. Nearly 50,000 Marooned. New York, June 30.?Nearly 50,000 persons were marooned on Rockaway ; Beacn all night oy nrc wrmcn destroyed part of the trestle connecting the resort with Long Island. The flames started from a short circit on the third rail of the Long Island railroad while a train crowded with 600 passengers was crossing the long trestle over Jamaica Bay. Tne rear car of the train caught fire and there was a. wild scramble among the passengers to get foothold on the trestle. Hundreds of men, women and childdren picked their way over the ties to lafety. About 300 feet of the trestle burned. I How Errors Get xnto Newspapers. Atlanta, June 30.?The newspapers which nrinted that "many young la dies particapted in the American; iynching" when the telegrams should ! have read "many young lads," had distinguished precedent for their unintentional error. Some of the biggest "bulls" in the history *>f world j journalism have occurred in that way. j lAbout a y-ear and a half ago very ! big newspaper in the United States and Europe issued extras anoounc-' - ing in flaming letters mat me rope ; was dead. The Associated Press i I handled th-e item under a Madrid^ Spain, date-line. Subsequer t cables | from the Vatican direct announced,! that there was absolutely no ground | in the report, which had gone around the world and has been hand Vv?r AttAnw wAnntnVilo riflTC OOfl'lVp ' icu uj cv^i j w ? v in the world. It was later learned that th-e way it happened was this: an under-sec retary at the Vatican who had a , cousin at the Papal legation in Mad-, rid s*nt him a telegram reading in Italian "Mio papa e morte," mean-; ~ aw ' nr\A iiig jrxy iaiiici id ucau, auu iwv* ring to his own father. The telegram was bulled in trans9 mit and when it arrived it read. "II papa e morte," m aning "the Pope : is dead." And so the tinv error of I' caused the message to be flashed j some obscure telegraph operator j through Christendont that the Pope !: | of Rome w;<?. dead. I ITALY'S TICE CONSUL DIES AT CHARLESTON j Charleston, June 28.?Giovanria 1 Sottile, vice consul for Italy, died suddenly this morning at his handsome residence in Rutledge avenue. A stroke of paralysis was the cause of death. For several months Mr. Sot- J til? has been in poor health, and only recently he returned from Hot Springs . and Johns Hopkins, where he had bf:en under treatment. He was at | the Isle of Palms last night, returning |( | at midnight. He was a native of Pa: lermo and was 47 years of age. He 'was given an order of knighthood of his country by the king recently. He [ is survived by a widow, four children, mother and four brothers. He was of a genial and hospitable disposition and had many friends here. ^ MARRIED BY WRONG PARTY. ^ i Lexington Couple Found They Were >"ot Married.?Former Notary Made License to Order. ; J ! C Lexington, June 30.?That the ^ course of true love never runsjsmooth was exemplified here Thursday, when Walter Aiken and Miss Iva Lanier went through the mar-jt riage ceremony for the second tim* j J in two weeks. Some time ago when this couple decided to go down life's read together, they went to a man who claimed to be a notary public. Being without a license, this pretended officer proceeded to write on?, and ; then and there performed what he all-eged the marriage ceremony. He charged Aiken $2.50 for the license, 75 cents for marrying him and 75 i j" cents for putting the notice in the paper. The happy couple went their j J way'rejoicing, thinking everything' had been done properly; but before j they knew it Aiken was arrested and j ' E placed in jail on the charge of ab-i .. ID ductiop. j Solicitor Timmerman took up the i , i d case and conferred with the girl's L b mother in Columbia. Now it appears i that the ceremony was performed by | ^ a man who had, once upon a time i ' s been a notary public, but whose com- i _ _ . ? _ S mission nad long since been revoKeaig by the governor. Upon hearing of that, the mother claimed that the whole thing was illegal. The solicitor assured her that the would-be notary was in error, but that the wed- ding contract would hold before the ij law; but that did not satisfy careful mama. The obliging solicitor then j told the mother that he would re- Q turn to Lexington with the young t( people and there secure the proper ^ license, and that he himself would 1 & perform the ceremony according to ^ law. This he did in the office of I Probate Judge Drafts, with all due ~ dignity and solemnity. After all this the lovers are sceptical, ancl are yet afraid that something will come up s to separate th-em. Vast Sum Spent For Moving Pictures. c New York, June 30.?-The nickels a spent during the past year to se^r the t "movie" shows total 6,680,000,000 or $319,000,000 paid by 3,600,000,000 spec- b tators, according to an official count. * It is also shown that over $30,000,000 ^ is invested in the moving picture in- c dustry, that more than 200,003 persons a are employed and that 10,000,000 feet ^ of picture films are produced weekly. ? g Killed, by Lightning, li Greensboro, N. C., June 30.?With a his key in his front door m the act of d entering his home Saturday night, W. d J. Fausett was killed by lightning on li South Dairy street, this city.
