a fellow to get caught m the Wall
street flurry.
The biggest coward under the
aun in the man who deserts his
wife because he iu too lazy to support
her.
The Stnte fair coiamitte is certainly
fortunate in placing advertising
contracts at the uo-ceut-nword

The ceremony of the coronation
of Pope Pius X took place in the
liasilica of St. Peter's, Rome, Sunday
in the presence of the princes
and high dignitaries of the cliurch.
Those eastern college students
who went out west to work in the
harvest fields during their vacation
were uot a very howling success.
Tuey found it sotnowhatdif
fereut from football aud croquet.
The representatives of the powers
have so far failed to renew the
proamnion piucea upon the importation
of arms into China, nud
it is mummed that the agreement
will be dropped when it expires
August 25.
Press dispatches state that the
negroes in Illinois and Indiana
ere leaving in large numbers and
emigrating to the Southern States.
It would seem that the South iB
not the only section of the country
that is open to the charge of brutality
to the negro.
When a new pope of the Cntholic
church is installed one of the
most interesting of the ceremonies
is the bestowing upon him of the
fisherman's ring. Iu the case of
Pius X this ceremony wa* performed
with A new ring, the old
one having been lost after the
death of Pope Leo.

President Roosevelt has bncked
up his race suicide pronunciationto
with a hundred dollar check to
a Pittsburg man who has just become
the father of his twentieth
child. A distinguished citizen by
U>e name of Grovor is doing nobly
by his country, but as yet has not
been the happy recipient of auy
of the "long green."
O ?
If any genius or scieutist believes
that he has hit upon a way
to exterminate the pestiferous cotton
boll weevil, now is the time
for him to come forward. Fifty
thousand dollars will be paid out
of the State treasury of Texas to
the person who presents a successful
remedy, the award to be made
by a committee of five members
recently appointed by Governor
Lauhau.
t t
Don't invest your hard earned
dollars in the fake mining concerns
that are flooding the mails with
their literature. When enormous
dividends are to be made you will
flud the financial kings dabbling
in that sort of thing themselves.
The fakir always preys upon the
credulity of the man with a few
hundreds, and in uiost cases succeeds
in getting his inouey without
giving hiui anything in return but
a little worthless paper.
?
An exchange makes tbe following
suggestion, which is worthy, of
consideration: "In some future
and more enlightened age people
will see that it is as much the business
of the government to provide
weans for men to go where they
are needed to garner the wheat, or
dig the ore. or gather the fruit, or
do the useful productive work of
the city or oountry, as it is to send
ships loaded with fighting men to
4strstegio points' in another hemisphere,
or cart trAinloads of idle
soldiers frotu one ocean to another.'
The educated negro is the only
solution to tbe race question now
agitating the oountry, acoording to
a writer in the Chicago Tribune.
If tllia VIM or r?f tku i? 1
ww .w.w ??v?? w ?mo %0wam%f IB 1TCV|
it will be many yearn before the
question ia settled, for notwithstanding
the negro hue been a free
moral agent for about forty years,
he ia sadly deficient from an educational
standpoint, and ia making
but lif-le improvement in that line.
There are many f^ople even in the
North now who are becoming eoni
vinced that the negro is no better
; off today than he was when hi
I bondage under a humane muster. 1
One of the beat ways to rolve
the shortage of labor question in i
the western farming country ia for |
the railroads to adopt some reasonable
method of getting the unemployed
of other sections out to the
country where they are needed.
Many an eastern man without a
dollar in his pocket would he glad
to get out west ami on a farm if
the transportation question was
removed, but in nine cases out of
ten the lack of funds compel them i
to remain in their own towns. The ; 1
railroad companies might give the
subject some profitable thought.
Printing the News.
There are certain individuals in !
every community where a news- 1
paper is published who have an j
idea that every man connected
with the publication can print '
what he pleases, says the New 1
London Day. Time and again 1
matters have been hunded up to 1
the newspaper men, which had '
they been printed without careful
investigation into detail, would 1
have resulted in something more 1
than interesting to the newspaper
concerned. People should understand
that a newspaper is printed
for the sole purpose of carrying !
the news of the day to every man,
woman and child interested in
what happens. It is a poor stick
of a reporter or editor who listons
to personal grievances and permits
himself to lie influenced by personal
friendship or family matters.
The newspaper man wlin does not
recognize news and who is influenced
by any degreo of sentiment
to suppress that news has no business
to be engaged in the work.
Time and again newspsper rennpfaru
linen Konti im?\e/?i>ol.nfl
' i v so ii ii ? w wvvii n lJlJ 1 ia \ i ujr
people who have risked to have
certain items of an interesting nature
suppressed because they were
an interested party and if the mutter
reflected upon some action of
theirs, have advanced either the
plea that their families would suffer
or that someone in an influential
position is their friend. Not
l(>"ls "go a man who was concerned
in a police court case made a request
that his name be kept from
the public and that a matter of
public interest should he suppressed.
He was incontinently
turned down for the renson that
news of public interest to everybody
is what a newspaper is require
to print, no matter how much
they sympathize with the party
who is concerned.
Joy and gloom are taken equnl
care of by the daily publications;
but when a man is concerned with
something that is wronj;, he cannot
expect that a newspaper will
shield him from any matter of
friendship or influence, because 1
the editor recognizes the fact tlint
a man who does not live a life of
purity cannot expect to have his
actions hidden. He alone is to
hlame As lorn* nw he k?>enn with.
in the bounds of propriety he has
nothing to fear, but when he oversteps
these bounds to the extent
of making his action a matter of
public interest, there is nothing
that can either help or save him.
Horein lies the fact that a newt paper,
bh much ao the church or
any social intTuenee, is an advantage.
It is through this media
that people know their neighbors,
and there are few who step over
the line of respectability who can
ever hope to prevent their actions
becoming public in a community
where a good, live publication is
disseminated. It is silly nonsense
to approach a legitimate publication
with any idea of it withholding
n matter that is of public ii?- ,
portance or interesting to the community.
If such a thing was
possible there would be no use
subscribing for a paper. If people
behave themselves and go
_ I i it A # J ?
ft dou i uie even tenor oi ineir way
they will not receive newspaper i
notoriety, but when people are be- i
having themaelvea and are a bene* (
tit and honor to the community in (
which they reside, the newapaper 1
takes pleasure in chronicling their (
movements and telling their friends j
when sickness and sorrow is their
portion. While the people who
pass the pale of the ordinary from
any downward tendency on their |
part are having their actions chronicled
in a just and proper manner,
those who are recognized by their
good works and honest, good behavior
will receive the laudations
they deservo. It does not matter
whether a man is in a public position
or in a private capacity, this
holds equally true. A newspaper
that is a newspaper will always
chronicle facts.

The Contract Law.
The state supreme court has nf- J
irmed the opinion of .Indue Forty
in the caae of the State vs.
r^rank Rhody, which wont up
:roin Anderson county. }
Mr. Rliody was indicted for em- (
ploying a minor who was under >
ontract to work for another, the |
:ontrnct being umde by the father (
>f the minor. Magistrate B. F. ,
tVilsou held that it was ugainst ,
he law to employ a minor under ,
he above circumstances, and from ,
lis decision the defendant appeal* <
?d to the circuit court, and .Judge
Purdy at the February term of <
he court of gonerul sessions for |
Anderson county, reversed the ,
nagistruteV decision and dismissed
Lhe case. Tlie State then appeal- j ,
?d to the supreme court and the
supreme court affirmed the judg- (
ineiit of the circuit jud^e. Tine (
in an important decision, as it af- :
fects the faun lat)or contracts,

The New Pope.
The Human Catholic church is
again pursuing the even tenor of
its ways with a pope in control of
its destinies. The conclave closed
its labors on the 4th by electing
Cardinal Sarto, known ns the Patriarch
of Venice, to succeed Leo
XIII as the head of the church.
So many names had been prominently
mentioned that the result
was a surprise, although the dispatches
indicate that the choice is
wise and that it will meet with the
approbation of the people. Snrto
has assumed the name of Pius X.
For years he was one of the greatest
preachers sf his church, is a
man of unquestioned ability and
firmness, and it is believed he will
pursue a liberal policy throughout
his administration. He was a

pontiff. Sarto belongs to the ecclesiastical
congregation of bishops,
ami enjoys great popularity
in his diocese.
Beheaded Her Two Daughters.
One of the most brutal crimes
ever committed in this State occurred
Sunday evening in Colleton
county. Lizzie Aiken, n colored
woman of about 40 years of
age. killed her two children by
cutting off their heads with an axe.
it is said that their heads were
completely severed from their bodies,
not a nerve, vein or other ligiment
being left toconnect the two.
It appears that an effort was made
to dispose of the bodies, for a tire
had been kindled around the
corpse of the younger child. The
woman has been committed to jail,
and is thought to be insane. Both

Trouble Ahead ?
Captain J. W. Ardrey, of Fort
Mill, may get in to trouble as the
result of the good roads convention
last Wednesday. Quite n
number of i>eople were impressed
with the idea that the captain is
not only a man with au idea hh to
what the county needs; hut he
known also how to say what he
wants to say in the right way and
at the right time. Heretofore
more than one man has suggested
that he ought to go to the general
assembly. Of course, it is generally
understood that the captain
does not want to go to the general
assembly, or into politics nt all;
but the voters do not always defer
to the preference of the individual
citizen.?Yorkville Enquirer.
The Times would regret to wish
anyone trouble, but should such
trouble (?) as the above befall
Mr. Ardrey a year heuce, we will
be more than pleased. A man of
such eloquence, firmness and ability
would be a worthy addition to
the York delegation in the general
assembly.
