PORT MILL. 8. C.. SEPTEMBER 21. 1911.
There are just as big liars in South
Carolina as there are in Atlanta, for
instance, and we were little surprised
to read that the dispatch purporting to
have been sent out from Columbia
some days ago to a number of Northern
papers in which it was stated that
a movement had been launched in this
State to have Governor Blease impeached
was altogether without foundation
and a mass of tommyrot of the
first water The Columbia Record, a
newspaper which keeps posted on State
affairs and. which bears a reputation
for accuracy in matters concerning
public officials, has this to say of
the alleged impeachment proceeding as
published in the Northern press: "This
is going away from home to hear the !
news. If anybody in Columbia knows
anything about proposed impeachment
proceedings they are keeping it quiet.
It is, on the contrary, very well understood
that many of the strongest opponents
of Governor Blease would much 1
prefer seeing him defeated in the primary
than removed by impeachment
proceedings, and besides it is considered
a much easier and simpler task
to bring about the defeat of the governor
than his impeachment That
Governor Blease would welcome impeachment
as the means of making
himself a martyr in the eyes of the
people is also well understood. He
said so much in his Fourth of July
speech." This report, like a number
of others which have been sent out
*?Paiwlina ll/ithin thf last
1IV111 Ji/uua vu* viiiiM *?.......
few months, doubtless was written by
an enemy of the governor who sought
to injure him outside the State. Reputable
South Carolina newspapers would
publish no such statement without first
ascertaining the truth of it, and the
author of the statement doubtless was
aware of this fact.
So far i-s we have been able to observe,
the announcement that ex-Congressman
W. J. Talbert will be a
candidate for the United States Senate
against Senator B. R. Tillman in the
primary next summer has not occasioned
a ripple of interest throughout
the State. Indeed, there is perhaps
? "?" Jr. CnutVi Parnlina who
uuijf VIIC man til wv..
will take the candidacy of the excongressman
seriously, and that man is
the ex-congressman himself. If Senator
Tillman's health is such that he feels
warranted in asking for a fourth term
in the Senate, there is little doubt that
he will get it. Of course no one questions
the right of ex-Congressman Talbert
to become a candidate against
Senator Tillman, but there are many
who will think his judgment exceedingly
poor. Mr. Talbert would better send
the money which it will cost him to
make the campaign to the orphan
asylums of the State.
Much to the discredit of the Old
North State it may be said that
that Commonwealth apparently harbors
within its borders at least one rake beside
whom that notorious Virginia dissolute
pales into insignificance. If
North Carolina can establish the
identity of the brute who is responsible
for the crime committed at Hendersonville
a few days ago and will follow it |
? > ^ \r:?.. I
up as OKI me diaie Ol Virginia 111 uci
recent sensational court proceeding, it
will indeed be praiseworthy and a conviction
will go far in preventing a
recurrence of such horrible crimes
throughout the country. In the meantime
it is refreshing to know that the
North Carolina authorities are at last
making efforts to ascertain who was
responsible for the death of Miss Hawkins,
and the entire country hopes that
they will be successful.
Following the announcement some
days ago of ex-Chief Justice Ira B.
Jones that he will enter the Democratic j
primary next year against Governor
Blease, quite a number of the State
newspapers have lost no time apprising
the public that they will support
the ex-chief justice. It is interesting
to recall that the same newspapers
supported Mr. Featherstone last year,
and Mr. Featherstone finished the race
a rather poor second. Newspaper
government seems to be in bad with
the people. Perhaps more of the people
than one suspects know that a recent
governor of South Carolina tilled the
office as proxy for a certain newspaper
which he consulted morning, noon and
night about what it would have him do
in an official way.
For the protection of the people of
the town, council should place signs at
the entrance to town or. each of the
main highways notifying autoists of the
speed limits. This thing of "hittin* j
her up" through the streets will we
fear one of these days result in the
serious injury of some of our people.
The tickets in the primary next year I
should contain only two names for
governor?Ira B. Jones and Cole L.
Blease. It should be a fight to the
finish between these gentlemen, and no
outside interference.
If Would-be Governor Jones is given
the support in other sections of the i
State that it is claimed he will get in j
his home section, he will emerge from
the primary next year with quite a
healthy bunch of ballots.
We have yet to hear that T. B. F.
will be one of the prosecuting attorneys
in the label cases which probably
will be called at Columbia next Monday.
Taxes and death are things which no
man can escape, and the time for the
payment of the former is dangerously
near at hand. i

Why Not ft Public Library?
[Contributed.]
The most distinctive feature of the
town of Chester is its public library and
the charming librarian of the same.
This is true of a great many towns. The
writer has lately visited the splendid
town library in Gastonia, N. C., and
spent some time in learning just how
it was organized and how it is kept up.
The contents of the Gastonia library
are a revelation to any one interested
in such things?a revelation of what
the town has done along the most essential
line of its development, and of
what any other town can accomplish,
if the citizens realize the value of such
an organization. You will find there
the best works of fiction, the finest
reference books, both secular and religious,
many historical, geographical,
biographical, scientific, sociological
works, etc. In fact, a storehouse of
knowledge form the vast realm of
literature. Nodody desiring information
on any subject could fail to find material
there.
The atmosphere of such libraries is
delightful. They possess a charm all
their own. All of the best monthly
magazines, several daily and good weekly
papers are right at hand. The children's
department is always especially
attractive. There is literature to suit
all tastes. How many pleasant and j
profitable hours the boys and girls can I
spend there that th j spend elsewhere
to their hurt.
The social feature of a library is one of
the most important considerations.
Such a place is bound to foster good
feelings; as all classes are brought
together in a common interest, and
there is abundant opportunity for social
intercourse.
In each of theso towns the women
were the prime agitators of the movement
to organize these libraries. The
women of Fort Mill have always had
the best interests of the town at heart,
and they will not lorg remain inactive
in this issue; for the measure of a town's
development is the growth of its
churches and schools, and this growth
is largely dependent upon the intelligent
use of a good public library.
It is true that the Fort Mill graded 1
school had at one tirr e a very good collection
of books, but so had the schools '
in other places, and the final outcome i
has been the consolidation of the school
libraries with those of the town, resulting
in much more efficient organizations.
Nothing gives a town a higher tone
than a w ell organized and efficient public
library. W. H.
From the Confederate Infirmary.
Editor Times: This hot weather is
conducive to laziness. Besides the J
hookworm has some claims to influence :
in that direction. Both together make
a powerful team which is hard to beat.
Hence it is very difficult to write.
The people in the Confederate Infirmary
are about as well as usual. Two
died in the last week?one of cancer,
the other of heart trouble involving
dropsy. When the old man gets really
ill the road is wide open, and he does
not often recover.
Many men of many mind3 are here.
Some are very submissive, others have
still the old rebellious spirit, and still
others are mixed, but all they can do is
to curse under their breath when things
don't suit them. Some try to take on
a great load of religion while others
seem not to care for the hereafter.
We have preaching every Sunday
afternoon by some minister belonging
to the union. The ministerial union
sends us one of their members ti? conduct
service on Sunday afternoon, and
he is our pastor for the ensuing week.
Thus we are pretty well supplied in
religious services, hut some are not content
therewith and hold meetings once
or twice on week nights. A Sundayschool
was started three or four weeks
i A -v ?_ J i
ago, DUl 11 is ueau, or wry biviv.
One of our inmates is J. W. Biggs.
He came from New York before the
war and taught dancing and music in
the western part of this State and in
Georgia. When strife came he cast his
lot with the South us a private in the
Cobb Legion. Afterwards Gen. J. E. B
Stuart had him for his chief bugler, so
did Hampton. He is now very infirm,
but can tune a piano and play Dixie on
it and other tunes.
Mr. John D. Kell has been with us
for two months, hailing from Cherokee
county. A Mr. Lanier hails from York.
Gen. Reed, of Chester, has lately joined
us.
Many good fellows, who would enjoy
life, if they could, are here, and many
who don't know how. Some are lively
but weak while others growl and make
themselves miserable.
"Civilized man can not live without
cooks," and, if the grub is plentiful and ;
well prepared, many things may be
overlooked.
We have nice beds each made for.
one person; so there is no quarrel about [
spooning.
The hookworm warns me to quit.

Orphans' Day.
Orphans' day the one day in the
year set aside especially lor in>- uenem.
of Christianity's wards arrives 011
Saturday, September 3d, and then, all
over the South and in a few sections of
the North there will be thousands devoting
a day of love, as well as toil, to
the little unfortunates unfortunates
not through their own faults, but
through the faults or deficiences of
others.
The people of the South are proud
of the fact that to their section of the
nation belongs the honor of having
originated such a day, and they have
well shown their pride since the foundation
of the day. some ten years ago.
To those who have never before been
cognizant of the tact that such an institution
existed, it is perhaps well to
explain that Work day is a token of
the country's recognition of the fact
that the orphan is not a bunion upon
it, but that the child is father of the
man and the man should be reared to
the estate of a strong, useful citizen.
On Orphans' day the people of the
South devote their earnings of that day
to the support of the orphan. At first
thought, a day's earnings appear large,
then comes the fact that there are 313
work davs in a year. One three hundr*i
and thirteenth of the year's earnings-is
that so much when a tenth is
asked by the church?
Mr. J. A. Davidson, a well known
citizen of the Deiphos neighborhood, |
died at the home of his son. Mr. J. T.
Davidson on route No. 3, Yorkville last
Saturday, aged 83 years, 8 months and
2 davs. He was buried at Bethvsda on
Sunday. Mr. Davidson went through
the civil war as a member of company
K. Seventeenth regiment and made a
good record as a soldier. He was
never wounded, but used to tell how he
lost a lock of hair by a bullet. Besides
the son at whose home he died, the deceased
haves two brothers, Mr. F. D.
Davidson of Yorkville No. 3. and Mr.
