JUNE 29, 1904.
The recent action of the society
for the prevention of crnelty to animals,
in convicting a negro at
iEastover, this State, of crnelly
boating on ox and sentencing the
negro to 30 days on thechaingang,
-a commendable. There is a crying
need for better protection to
the dumb brutes of the land and
K./? s P n. A., is doing much
toward ridding the country of this
inhuman practice.

The Columbia Record, realizing
Columbia's need of an up-to-date
afternoon paper, has recently installed
two Lynotype typesetting
machines. The Record has all
nlong been a very readable paper,
.and with improved facilities is
likely to distinguish itself among
the leading papers of the country.
Columbia now has what she has
needed for some time along this
line and should support it.
Every day brings us fresh evidences
that our efforts to make The
Times a represenative and newsy
? paper are appreciated. New subscribers,
accompanied by wjrds of
praise and encouragement, are
coming in daily. We are doing
our best at present to make the
paper meet the demands of the
?' L ?u:?u tt ?lun
sections mrou^u wmuu iv
lates, and in the meantime we are
arranging to make some decided
improvements in the near future.
State Treasurer Jennings returned
a feyr days ago to Oolum?>
a from New York, where he negotiated
a loan with bankers of
that city of $300,000 for the current
expenses of the State for the
rest of the fiscal year. This will
fee the last loan this year, as the
State previous to this borrowed
$200,000, and the law only allows
a loan of $500,000 a year. It is es
thnated that this will be enough to
jTQn the State until the tax money
comes in.
The old whipping regime was
^survived in Kentucky a few days
ago, when Simon bcearce, a 15
year-old negro lad, was sentenoed
to be whipped in the public square
.at Lexington. Scearoe had struck
a small white boy. The court decreed
that the boy's mother take
the negro to the public square and
give him twenty lasheB with a
buggy-whip and the mother, in
the presence of a large crowd, administered
the punishment as directed.
This was the first time
suoh an incident has been witnesses
in Kentucky since the civil
war, but it will doubtless have a
better effect upon the boy than
,allow his mother to work several
,days to repay the fine whiob she
xwould have paid for him.
Another murderer, who, in the
.Opinion of a majority of the readi'ng
people of this section, should
tave been stretched on the gallows
bas been freed by a South Carolina
jury. This was Lee Green, a
.white man who was on trial during
the past week at Aiken for the
killing of Abram Surasky, a Jew
Jieddler, on or about the lfith of
aat July. Green's was a horrible
** crime, he having attacked Surasky
witb a shotgun and after shooting
him down, took an axe and beat
the peddler's head almost into a
jelly. The people of South Carolina
are establishing a record for
releasing criminals ihal i? a shame
to a civilized country and so long
as it is oontinued lawlessness and
crime are aeauneo to ran rarnk.
General Palmer, pnblio printer,
last week perpetrated a gross
outrage against the people of the
United States, by printing under
date of Monday, dune 20, an edition
of the Congressional Record
containing sixty pages of Republican
campaign literature. This
publication two months after the
adjournment of Congress is a vanion
violation of la^v. Towards the
,eod of the session concurrent protesta
were made against giving
Jeave to print in the Record
Speeches not delivered on the floor
and botli parties agreed to put a
' summary end to it and to grant no
more permission to ''extend reparjts
in 3the Record." It now
seems that the bargain was made
by the Republicans in aPickwiok ?n
sense ouly but was held to be
pindiug^a the pew cerate. is it
thought that no treachery can be
to dnstnrdly &b not to be justified
if thereby Mr. Roosevelt is elected?
Are Messrs. Payne, Dalzell, Grosvenor
and Hemenway parties to
this iniquity, or does Mr. Palmer
hope to read in it his title clear
for another four years? Explanations
are in order. Such a publication
is a gross fraud upon the
people because it entitles this sixty
pages of Republican literature
to be sent free under frank to all
parts of the United .States.
A Day of Stioof Mao.
Some would-be business men
are actually 60 indifferent and unconcerned
with the passing of time
?so hard to convince that this is
a day of great accomplishments
and opportunities that they utterly
fail to catch the force that inspires
activity in their business
duties. Those who desire to know
what is going on in their own line
of business keep their ears and
eyes wide open, their mind in an
inquiring disposition at all times
in waking hours. They "look about
them," and make inquiries concerning
important subjects and
topics of the day. Some men dislike
to be pushed, and absolutely
refuse to push themselves, yet the
evolution of the "survival of the
fittest" is pushing them all the
time, but they lay it to ill luck, or
often to their innocent neighbor.
Such men never have a feeling of
exultation over the growth of their
city or town, and don't care one
snuff whether they saw wood or
the community grows not. Snch
a man needs somebody to pnll him
oat of the rut and push him into
active work. He is (unless disabled)
a cipher in tHis great busy
prosperous country. The sooner
he grasps the trend of energy and
honest industry and "gets a move
on" the better he will feel physically
and mentally, and the stronger
he will become consciously in
the love of his family and his
home, and in the faith of his town
and country. We are looking daily
for strong men, men of courage,
men of broad vision, broad imagination,
men who are willing to
meet the world in a fair and equal
contest in mind and deed. We
stop and fail to concur with men
of oontraoted vicious so narrow and
souls so small "that a dozen would
rattle in a mustard seed."?Selected.
Must Come Five Days.
The adjutant general is as rapidly
as possible working out the details
of the encampments. It may
not be gecerally known, but the
law requires that every company
on active military duty shall go on
these enoampments at least five
days unless ordered excused by
the governor, Should there be
good reasons companies will be
excused, but Section 18 of the Act
of 1893 is very strict in this matter.
It is hardly likely that any
of the companies will ask to be excused
unless they intend going to
Manassas. Gen. Frost stated this
morning that the indications were
that this State would send a full
quota to Manassas, this amounting
to about 1,000 men.?Record.

in all probability be attended by
a larger number of farmers and
others interested than any similar
event in this county, will be held
at Rock Hill on Jnly loth. The
sucoess of the occasion is assured
by the fact that the Commercial
Club of that city has the program !
and arrangements in hand. The
institute will be directed by Prof.
C. C. Newman, Dr. G. E. Nesom
and Prof. F. S. Shiver, of Clemson

The farmers of the entire

A cordial invitation is extended

entire section to be present, the
only requirement being that each

The Times received from Mr.
J. M. Harris, of Pleasant Valley, a
few days ago a number of small
bugs, which are attacking his cotton
crop. The bngs are black with
hard shells, and in shape and size,
are not unlike the common house
fly, except for the bill, which is about
an eighth of an inch long.
Mr. Harris Bays the bugs are quite
numerous on his place, aud fears
that his cotton crop will be greatly
damaged by them. He is, however,
unable to tell at this time, very little
as to the attacts of the bugs,
owing to the fact that his cotton
has not yet pat on shapes and bolls.
