L.. .ii' i ? i.i i.-.-gamiMeag ?1ULY 5, 1905. 1--" I ! I I 111 While the lynching of a white man ami seven negroes at Wat kinsrille, Ga., Thursday morning wan unlawful, ntutaliedfor and disgraceful, it is extremely doubtful whether the perpetrators will be tried for Hi? prime. And, jf they are, it is even more doubtful if a conviction will result. It is a difficult matter to cpnyiot one of a crime when there is a probability that one or more of the jury are equally guilty. Newspaper readers who are interested in the tight which is being pwtde against the dispensary did not fail to note the personnel of t}jp si realjed prohibition convention which was held in Columbia a few d ?ys ago, and will not, therefore, fail to pro tit by the observation. The convention was cotnposeu largely of discredited ]M>lilici?i)8 and puny pastors who should have been at home preaching the lowly Naznrene and tryipg to earn the salaries which their buncped Docks are contributing to their support, The Times wishes tn en 11 t.n tlis attention of those of our readers who may be approached upon the subject of signing the anti-dispensary petition the clause thercu by which one pledges himself to vote *'no dispensary" in case of au election. 1Y> some this pledge may be of little concern, but there are a threat many who are opposed to the system and would vote against it. but who will refuse their signatures rather than publicly obligate themselves to vote a particular way in this or any otberelection. More people would in a)i probability have signed the petition had the elapse referred to been unfitted. , The Federal administration has been placed in a most embarrass- , disposition by the sudden resignation of Chief Engineer Wallace of the Panama canal commission. It. is not two months since Mr. Wallnpe wap promoted to a place on the commission with an increase of salary which made his total remuneration $25,000, with a furnished house thrown in, and it was confidently expected that he find undertaken the construction <-f the canal in real earnest and , that he would take pride in associcutting hia name with the great engineering project. Mr. Wallace waa offered a place in this country, however, at a salary of $t?0,00Q a , year and lie yielded to the temptation, regardless of the fact that his abandonment of the canal would be regarded by hia fellow citizens its closely approximating desertion. We regret to see Editors Caldwell and MoKelway of the Charlotte Observer and Presbyterian Standard engaging in a personal controversy through the colura >a of their respective papers. Mr. Caldwell came out a few days ago with a long editorial denouncing 1 Mt. McKelwny in the most severe I !? i I. ^ 1..At _ -1 il terms, wuuo tne inner ueuica me allegations nnd intimates tlmt he will take recourse in law. According to Mr. Caldwell's editorial, the editor of The Standard has during the past few months repentedly attacked The Observer nnd its editor and it was only afier the 1 liter's patience \vaa exliauated that he stepped aside to denounce the Rev. Mr AI'Kelway. It is indeed unfortunate that two such prominent men should become so imbued with personal |nalice. Jf I taken intp court, the blame will, perhaps, he rightly placed, hut it _,UB been onr yaliop that ?U?'lt proceeding are usually more in* jurious than helpful to those eu , The failure last week of the Vil- * laj;e Improvement Association to < make its weekly tour of inspection, ' is, it is hoped, not an indication that this most important |work is ( to be abandoned.

Wil#?>n, h prominent tax payer of Pickens countv, Cliief Justice Y. J. Pope, has passed an order 10ijiiirint; the county board of control of Pickens county and the L'ounty dispenser to slnny cause at dewberry, on July 5. ut II o'clock in the forenoOn, "or as soon thereafter as counsel can be Jieard, why a writ of mandamus should not be issued requiring them, the said re* spondent's to open and operate the said dispensary ns prayed for in the petition herein." The tmtilioii seta out tlint. the respondents unlawfully closed the dispensary in Pickens. Mr. W. Boyd Ev-ns, who secured the order from Chief Justice Pope, claims that the county board had not1 rlosed the d spensary because an election had been held, but because of letters received ..y the county board frpm OJovernor lleyvvard. His position is that the election was not legal, for a number of reasons which he presented. Hie election, he says was ordered by the supervisor, iho managers were appointed by the supervisor, itid so far as was known it hnd ;iot been declared at all; whereas, 1 t was the duty of the board j jf each county, appointed to bold all gen.-ral elections, to i nold all special elections, the law requiring that all special elections I shall be hold as general elections, i [t was further illegal in Pickens, | lie said, because other than cili- j sens of Pickens county were al- j lowed to v?,to, while the petitions i upon which the election was or- | Jered were never compared with ; I he regist ration lists to see whether j those who signed t hem were quali- | tied electors or not. Out ?>f ii.OUO voters in the county, he said, only j about 1,000 had voted. Patronizing Strangers. There is one thing that puzzles us very much, and that is this: Why will people put confidence in perfect strangers rather than in men of known integrity with whom they may be acquainted? We have h purticqlar person in mind just now. .An agent, whom he had never seen before, went to him and succeeded in selling him a lot of worthless stutf. Atany into he charged several times what the goods were wotth. The "sucker" preferred to place confidence in Mr. Agent rather than trade with his home merchant, whom he had reason to know was honest and who would naves old him the goods i?t a imieli smaller price. But it's Lhe'old story of a fool and his money, anil we will crow grey bended trying to solve the problem; and when we lenvo this earth it wdl ho unsolved, because a new fool is born every hoar. But we bate to see it just the sumo. The above from the OiatTney Lo dger calls to tnind an expori- j iiice which, we are told, a business I man of this place had with one of these agents some years ago. Mr. I Agent canvassed the town and ; jold, at 50 cents each, quite a iiiim- | ber of "improved window washers." 1 After disposing of all but eight or ten of his "washers," the agent decided to close out to the merchant, j tnd sold him the entire lot for 50 . lents. Imagine the merchant's | diagrin, when, upon reaching tome, he was met at. the door by | lis wife, who presented an "ex- i . client" window washer, for which inly a short time before she hud pa id the agent 50 cents.
