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. Much nop 1 Ihs i
been accomplished through these i
inspections and not only the cili* ,
jjeris, but visitors to the town note j
the cleanliness of the streets ami ?
buck lots and offer congratulations I
to the Indies of the association. '
I^et the inspections continue aid '
after a while it will, through f?r<Je
of habit, become natural for our
citizens to keep their premises t
fiee of filth and rubbish.

Pickens Dispensary Investigation. {
Upon the showing made recent,
ly by Mr. W. Boyd Evans, of
Columbia, representing J. S. 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.
