THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1912.
. Not the least interesting news
item of the last week to readers
of the daily papers in this section
was the injunction proceedings
instituted in the United States
Circuit Court at Greensboro,
N. C., by Mr. A. E. Gonzales,
owner of The State, to restrain
D. A. Tompkins, George Stephens
and W. H. Wood, all of Charlotte,
from collecting certain
notes given by Mr. Gonzales in
payment of shares of stock in
The Observer Company. In his
complaint Mr. Gonzales charges
that he was ousted from the
management of The Observer
Company contrary to contract
between the plaintiffs, Liaj. J. C.
Hemphill and himself. The
Times knows little of the merits
of the case, but it does know of
the reputation of Mr. Gonzales
for integrity in his business relations,
and to us it is inconnoi
\tq hlo thnf. hp would attempt
to avoid the payment of any just
obligation.
It takes a long time for foolish
things to die, at least some of
them. One of the most persistent
of these foolish things is the
"chain letter," especially the
one worded as a prayer and
which threatens untold wrath
and judgment upon the recipient
of the letter who does not make
two or three copies of the letter
and send to other people who, in
turn, are urged to repeat the
process under the same threat of
pains and penalties. Doubtless
it is a commingling of religious
sentiment with superstition that
accoujjtemainly for this nuisance.
v-Fsf"the religious sentiment one
can accord respect, but as for
thp simerstition that shows a
lack of common sense and subserviency
to fear. The only
sensible thing to do with a chain
letter is to put it in the waste
paper basket. J
John P. Grace, mayor of the
city of Charleston, may live to
see himself occupying a seat in
the United States senate, but
the controversy in which he is
now engaged will hardly help
him win the coveted prize. No
matter what charges or proofs
Grace may bring against any
citizen of this State, his overwhelming
defeat two years ago
should have convinced him once
and for all that South Carolina
does not want him for senator.
But he doesn't seem to see it
that way. If Blease is defeated
this fall Grace will take a large
measure of the credit to himself
and will be one of the first to
enter the race for the senate
in 1914. Grace's little scheme
to break into the senate will
work?we don't think.
The suggestion that all passenger
steamships should carry
government scrutineers to see
that the legal requirements as to
speed, safety and other features
are met is worth considering.
The custom is followed by racing
yachts. On every such craft
there is a nan whose duty it is
to see that all the rules governing
the contest are complied with,
and his presence is accepted as a
matter of course. If it is neces
sary on a race boat bow mucn
more necessary it is that ocean
and lake steamers should have
such an official to assure the
safety of the passengers. In
fact two would be necessary?one
for the captain's watch and one
for the chief officer's.
The death of Wilbur Wright is
mourned far beyond the world
of aviation. He and his brother
have done more than anyone
else to make aviation an actual
fact with all the possibilities that
are before it. Not only that but
Wright led a clean, upright life
and had a wholesome, true regard
for time honored institutions.
N:> financial or other
offers coul i suffice to swerve him
from his principles in any degree
whatsoever. He knew how to
"play the game" and therefore
was a true^ American.

Another trust is to be dissolved.
Trusts thrive amazingly
on dissolution and the value of
their shares goes up bv leaps.
The sure way to enormous wealth
is to own shares in a trust that
goes through the mock ordeal of
dissolution. As an instance it
may be stated that Standard Oil
stock is worth $100,000,000 more
since the judgment of the supreme
court took effect. Evidently
these dissolutions of trusts do
not attain the end the public
expected; in fact they seem to
work the other way.
More than three hundred years
ago a prisoner scratched upon
the stone wall of one the cells in
the Tower of London these words,
"Men are not killed by .the adversities
they have, but with the
impatience with which they suffer."
That is a truth that many
|in this restless, impatient age,
might take to heart with great
' ?^ * f L/\*v*rtAll?AO Til D "?Q 1 ]_

ure to exercise a wise patience
has been responsible for many a
business wreck and personal disaster.
If all the clairvoyants and astrologers
would only get together
and decide who should get the
presidential nomination of the
various parties, and who be victor
in the November election
what a lot of anxiety and other j
trouble would be averted. Pro-j
vided, of course, everybody |
would believe them, and provided,
also, their predictions
should come true.
The Charlotte board of aldermen
did a good service in taking
from the drug stores the right
to handle liquor and placing restrictions
around the clubs to
stop its sale, but it will require
an extra squad of constables to
control the pocket tigers after
the new order becomes effective
on July 1.
Why Tillman Should be Elected.
First. He has been a leader of the
progressive movement in the Democratic
party longer than any other
Democrat in the United States. His
first speech of national importance was
made four years before Mr." Bryan's
great Chicago deliverance. He was
the target for the assaults and scornful
cartoons of the reactionar.es for years
until "insurgency" became fashionable.
He has lived to see Theodore Roosevelt
I taking up the best of his contentions,
| when twenty years ago that statesman
was calling him a "Populist" and a
"dreamer. ' He secured a primary
election twenty-two years before they
had become a universal demand.
Second. During his long career his
private character has never been successfully
impeached. In the fierce
light which beats on high places in
these days of microscopic analysis of
character in the public press his moral
integrity has stood unsnakm and undimmed.
Third. His incorruptibility in public
service has been such as to be the despair
of his enemies and to warrant the
implicit confidence of his constituents.
In a senate of millionaires, he is still
the tribune of the people, as unimpeachable
as ever was the Gracchi.
Fourth. The impregnable strength
of his will has been and still is a tower
of resistance to the insidious efforts of
reactionaries in the Democratic party
who now hope to use that party as
their allies in the other camp have so
long used the Republican partv.
Fifth. The high order of his intel-,
j lect enaDles mm 10 see ana 10 analyse i
conditions at the present time in a way
to be of the highest benefit to the people
of the State and nation. The complicated
state of political affairs makes
it fortunate that South Carolina has a
big brain at Washington.
Sixth. Past services are not the best
reason for keeping a public servant at
his post, unless those services indicate
a character likely to be of further service.
Senator Tillman's work has been
exactlv of this kind: it was not one
I sporadic act of blazing brilliance but a
: series constituting a truly remarkable
whole. Among these, one of the most
important was his activity in educational
matters. An enumeration of
what he did covers almost a generation
I of the life of the State.
Seventh. He founded and developed
Clemson College.
Eighth. He did the same thing for
Winthrop College.
Ninth. He probably saved the South
Carolina College and the Citadel
Academy from disintegration at a time
when they might have been seriously
injured. I can bear personal testimony
to this myself, for when he had just
been elected Governor in 1890, he asked
me to come te> see him when I was at
' the head of the junior class in the
South Carolina College, and I earnestly
urged upon him the election of Dr.
Woodrow as president of that institution,
a step which 1 think will be admitted
to have been of the utmost
advantage to that college in the existing
state of affairs. Dr. Woodrow
knew how to keep his mouth shut as
few men did, and ne navigated the old
college through the shoals of politically
troubled waters as perhaps no one else
might have done.
Tenth. He began an era of active
and interested participation in public
affairs on the part of tne whole white
people of the State whose steady influence
ever since has been to keep the
State in the forefront of intelligent,
progressive political activity. Mr.
Bryan once told me personally mat
Senator Tillman had done more to
awaken the South to new life in political
lines than any other man in the
country.
Eleventh. He saved the Democratic
paity in the State from disruption by
securing a white primary referendum
nearly a quarter of a century ago. He
later kept the State free from the attempted
introduction of the new Republicanism
as represented by John L.
McLaurin.
Twelfth. He crystallized white man's
government in the constitutional convention,
and built upon the foundation
laid by Wade Hampton in the redemption
of the State from Radical rule an
edifice so solid and enduring that it is
hardly ever likelv to fall again.
Thirteenth, fte taught the people
that they were stronger than the corporations.
He proved his contention
A & &&P '
:o Ro<
in the State, and took the lesson with
him to Washington, where he has been
teaching nation the same thing. Onjy
a small tithe of what he has done in
this respect ever gets into the papers.
They may not publish what he says always,
bit they go to hear him and
they quote him and his words find echo
one way or another from Maine to California.
Fourteenth. His experichce in public
affairs has been such as to make a
few words from him now of greater
value and force than a year's work of
a less able or well known man. Alexander
H. Stephens was an invalid for
the best years of his life, but he wrote
a book with his trembling fingers which
will live as long as the memory of the
pen of Davis or the sword of Lee.
John Milton spent his powerful youth
in helping Cromwell to reform England,
and wrote the immortal "Paradise
Lost" w hen aged and blind. As long
as Ben Tillman can lie on a couch in
the capitol and tell those around him to
firu hot South Carolina will
do well to keep him there. As a matter
of fact, he is not now by any means
so enfeebled but that he can still do
what would be a big day's work for
most ir.en, but if tne day comes?as
come it must for us all?then let him
end his days as did Calhoun?borne to
his rest from the scene of his life-long
labors with his last breath encouraging
his friends and colleagues to keep up
the fight for liberty and right. ?P. S.

Man Coughs and Breaks Ribs
After a frightful coughing spell a
man in Neenah, Wis., felt terrible pains
in his side and his doctor found two ribs
had been broken. What agony Dr.
King's New Discovery would have
saved him. A few teaspoon3ful ends

obstinate coughs, expels stubborn
colds or heals weak, sore lungs. "1

called an election for July 25 to

citizens of Rock Hill opposed to
the proposition and that the issue
will be hard fought.

Often the hunt for a rich wife ends
when the man meets a woman that
uses Electric Bitters. Her strong
nerves tell in a bright brain and even
temper. Her peach-bloom complexion
and ruby lips result from her pure
blood; her bright eyes from restful
sleep; her elastic step from firm, free
muscles, all telling ol the health and
strength Electric Bitters give a woman,
and the freedom from indigestion, backache,
headache, fainting and dizzy
spells they promote. Everywhere
they are woman's favorite remedy. If
weak or ailing try them. 50c at Varks
