Commenting on the differences
between the city of Rock
Hill and the company which
furnishes water and lights for
the municipality, the Rock Hill
Herald observes that the city has
got "into a tight hole, but there
is plenty of material in the old i
town for the hole to be enlarged."
Would it not be the part of wisI
dom to squeeze out of the hole
and then use the material as a
filler for the hole instead of employing
it to make the hole bigger?

to his home paper because
he can secure the semi-weekly
edition of a metropolitan daily
at a less price than that asked
for the home paper. Fortunately
for the weekly press, these men
are not numerous, otherwise the
country press would soon be a
thing of the past, for no weekly
paper in this section can compete
with the metropolitan papers.
The weekly press of South
Carolina, in common with that
L of the other Southern States,
Kg must seek its readers among
men who are willing to buy the
papers because they contain news
| which cannot be found in other
papers. And the representative
country weekly covers its news
field more thoroughly, and has
more influence in proportion to
' circulation, than the semi-weekly
editions of any daily paper in the
land. The semi-weekly edition
of practically all the daily papers
is a money making institution
pure and simple. It costs the |
publishers little more than the j
paper on which it is printed, for
the matter in its columns is;
picked up from the daily at
practically no expense. It is unfair
to the country weekly to expect
it to compete with such
papers.
Every time the closet of your
neighbor is opened a little do you
strain your neck to peek, and ;
then afterwards strain your
tongue in talking ubout it? Do
you ever stop to think that some
day a tragedy may take up its
abode in your home? Can't you
get it into your head that some
day the tongue of slander may
cut you like a sharp sword and
the whispers of your neighbor be j
as vinegar on your wounds? Misfortune
and disgrace may have
overtaken your neighbor, but it:
does not become you to get on
the housetops and shout it out to |
the world. You will not be
called upon to pay for nor answer
for any of the sins of your
neighbor. You have all you can j
tend to to pay- for your own indiscretions.

home is in mourning over a trage- (
dy the best thing you can do is
to keep your mouth shut unless
you can say something that will (
come as a rift in the clouds.
Then again, you know you may !:
be no better than your neighbor.
The only difference is that your '
neighbor was caught and you, (
up to date, have kept the sunlight
away. Be charitable, for ?
you know not the day nor the
hour when the blight will appear
in your sacred circle.
CONGRESSMAN FINLEY
News and Courier.
?
uaviu Hiaward nnley, of Yorkville,
was born February 28, 1861,
at Trenton, Ark., his father,
David M. Finley, and his mother,
Elizabeth Mcllwaine Finley, both
of York county, having moved
there some years before Mr.
Finley was born. His father and
mother died when he was an infant
and he has no recollection of
either. When a child, 4 years
old, Mr. Finley was brought back
to Rock Hill by his maternal
aunt, Mary Campbell, and her
husband, John Campbell. As a
result of the war and the death
of his parents he was left very
poor. Likewise, his uncle and
aunt, John and Mary Campbell,
were impoverished by the war.
He was brought up accustomed
to perform all the duties and labors
incident to farm life, and
labored on the farm from the
time he was 10 years of age until
he was 20. Mr. Finley received
a limited education in the
schools at and near Rock Hill
and Ebenezer, in York county,
by attending school two to three
months during the year when
not engaged in farm work. After
the death of his aunt and fostermother,
Mary Campbell, in 1883,
he entered the South Carolina
college law school in 1884, and
graduated with the decree of L.
L. B. in 1886. He then located
in Yorkville and commenced the
practice of law, and has had an
extensive and successful practice.
Mr. Finley has been interested
in politics from his boyhood.
While in the General Assembly
of South Carolina from 1890 to
1896, a time of bitter partisan
strife, Mr. Finley busied himself
to aid in giving the people of the
State an efficient and economical
government from a financial
standpoint, and never at any
time, by speech or vote, said or
did aught to divide the white
people of the State politically, but
on the contrary did what he
could to bring them together
again, his position at all times
being that the white people of
South Carolina could not afford
to divide politically.
Mr. Finley was a trustee of
the South Carolina university
from 1890 until after his election
to Congress. In 1898 Mr. Finley
was elected to Congress from the
Fifth congressional district of
South Carolina, and has heen reelected
continuously since then.
For 20 years York, Mr. Finley's
home county, has given him
overwhelming majorities in each
primary election. In fact, he;
has never had a close run in
York county, no matter how
many candidates were opposing
him. Mr. Finley has served
12 years in Congress, and is
the oldest member in point of
service of the South Carolina
delegation in the house.
He is a Democrat, and no vote
of his has ever been challenged
for being to the contrary. He is
the Democratic member on the
committee on printing in the
House of Representatives, and is
the second Democrat on the committee
on postoffices and postroads,
and is one of the two

1, which sub-committee prepares
all appropriation bills and new
legislation affecting the postal
service. The postoffice appropriation
bill this year carries in
round numbers $241,000,000. Mr.
Finley has made a study of the
postal system of this country.
In fact, the greater part of his j
time in recent years has been
taken up in legislative work per- j
taining to the postal service.
