VI "r!"~
The warm discussion which
for a long time has been going
on in the press and on the platform
concerning the alleged
shortcomings and violation of
justice by some jurists will do
the judiciary no harm. Rather,
will it do good, for while there is
no question as to the rectitude
and impartiality of the great
majority of judges yet it is
generally admitted that some
have not been impeccable and
that others have not been in
sympathy with recognized modern
views on many important
matters. For that reason their
decision on some vita! questions
has been archaic and therefore
* foreign .to the present day conception
of law and equity.
Nothing i9 gained by stifling discussion
or in refusing to let light
in. The idea that some have
that however much one may
criticise other officials the judiciary
should be exempt is
absurd. Judges are human like
other people and therefore liable
to err, and while it must be admitted
that no criticism should
1? ..J in fl-io fliirnilv
W UCSIKI'CU LU iwnci tuv uigx.v
of the office or reverence for law,
it must also be admitted that
criticism rightly indulged will
benefit the judiciary and inspire
greater respect for law. Reform
both of the judiciary and of law
precedure is needed and when
instituted most of the prosent
discontent will cease. The only
difficulty lies in the methods to
be employed to attain the end
desired.
At Yorkville last Wednesday
James Cansler, the perpetual
candidate for railroad commissioner,
got off a dirty little fling
at The Times, if he was correctly
quoted, and we are satisfied
that few of his hearers were
surprised at such coming from
a man of Cansler's calibre. The
reference to The Times, according
to reports, came about when
Cansler attempted to thank the
people of his home county for
i i ii
the "handsome" vote wnicn tney
gave him two years ago, in spite
of the opposition of this newspaper.
By referring to the files
of 1910 we find that in the first
election Cansler lost in York
county something like 1,300
votes, out of a total of approximately
3,400, while in the second
election Hampton received almost
a thousand votes in the
county. This is, indeed, a
"handsome" vote for Cansler
to receive in his home county
and we doubt not that the old
man thought it miraculous that
he did not lose a greater number.
"Uncle" Jimmie Hasran is due
to be at home to his friends
again after the 27th.
The Times hears that friends
of Pollock or Ragsdale, or one of
the candidates himself, is circulating
the word among the mill
voters of the district that the
reason Congressman Finley does
not return to South Carolina and
go among the mill people in the
interest of his candidacy for
Congress is because he says he
is strong enough to be renominated
without their votes. This
report is infamously false; Mr.
Finley never made any such
statement. On the contrary, he
is, as he has always been, a
friend of the mill people and is
always glad to do anything he
can for them. He is grateful
to them for the support they
have given him in the past, and
it is inconceivable that any number
of them will be influenced
against him by such an unwarranted
statement. Mr. Finley's
only reason for not being in
the campaign is because the
Republican Senate has not attended
to its duty by passing the
postoffice appropriation bill so
that he could get away from
Washington.
The Cheraw Chronicle thinks
that Hon. W. P. Pollock has an
excellent chance to win. and says
that "Chesterfield county bids !
fair to have a resident representative
in the next Congress."
The Chronicle's next think is
due early Wednesday morning,
August 28.
Some men who help ever so
little to roll the world around
think they do all the rolling and
to prove it take a little rest. But
while they are resting the world
goes on rolling the same as ever
tnd just as if such men did not
k
In event of the Steel Trust
being dissolved it will not be
wise to expect very much to
accrue to the benefit of the public.
As a matter of sentiment
and on general principles most
people hope dissolution may be
ordered. Also there is always
the hope that something better
may be accomplished next time.
But, judging from the results
following the dissolution of the
Standard Oil and other trusts
there is not much prospect, as
the Sherman Act now stands,
that dissolution will be of very
great public advantage. With
an ability and genius worthy of
a better cause the officials of the
very corporations already dissolved
have seemed to flourish
on dissolution. Still it is a long
lane that has no turning and perhaps
the turn is almost reached.
Judging by the receptions
given the governor at Rock Hill
and Yorkville the last week, it is
the belief of many Fort Mill peoi
pie that Blease will carry York
j county by a substantial majority.
________
There is little reason why any:
one should become so wrought
up over the candidacy of a man
as to make an enemy of a former
friend. Such men had best
not argje politics.
The Times hereby serves notice
on the three candidates for
township road supervisor that
they will be expected to address |
the voters in the meeting Sat-'
urday.
i
It will hardly be necessary to
put on an extra force of police
, officers when the county candii
dates reach Fort Mill next Sat:
urday.

Tillman's Strength Improving.
The report from Washington
that Senator Tillman is steadily
gaining strength is gratifying
news to bis friends everywhere.
Instead of being a deterrent
to his recuperation, the senator's
work at the capitol during the
! session seems to have been of
| decided benefit. He has busied
himself constantly in his office
attending to his enormous correspondence
and applying himself
to the furtherence of governmental
matters in which he
and his constituents are interested,
and he has been in his
seat in the senate a part of the
time at practically every daily
session during his stay in Washington,
being at other times
usually within call whenever his
vote might be needed.
Many of the Senator's friends,
noting his clearness of mind, old:
time ease and force of expression,
and marked physical improvement,
have asked him why
he does not make a speech in
the senate. They believe him
entirely able to do so. In reply,
Senator Tillman cites his physician's
instructions, which are
given out of abundance of caution
and are based on the reasoning
that by temperament the
senator is like a dynamo that always
runs on full voltage, and
that if he were to undertake a
speech he would be in danger of
overtaxing his reserves of nerve
strength by great and continued
vehemence of delivery.
Senator Tillman admits him,
self that he cannot make apolitical
speech without becoming
wrought up to a passion of earnestness.
He recognizes the
prudence of his doctor's warning
1 that excitement of this kind
might bring on a recurrence of
the trouble from which he is;
making so gratifying a recovery
by strict attention to the hvgenic
regimen which has been pre
scribed.
But if the senator really underrates
his strength he can
hardly be blamed for it after the
illness he has experienced.
Senator Tillman was 65 years
old last Sunday.

The News of Gold Hill.
Fort Mill Tintes Correspondence.
The health of the community
is good at present, so far as I
know.
The many friends of W. H.
Crook, who has been at a sanitarium
in Charlotte for some
weeks, will be glad to know that
he is at home again and is very!
much improved in health.
Miss Lillian Cook, of Rock
Hill, is visiting Miss Maye Coltharp.
The school at Gold Hill will be
opened on the 19th instant with
a Mr. Ratterree as principal and
a Mis? Smith as assistant teacher.
Mr. Hal Patterson has the
contract for the erection of a
five-room dwelling for Will J.
Coltharp.
Mrs. Lillie Anderson, who has
been visiting relatives in this
section, returned the last week
to her home in Plant City, Fia. *
We think that S. C. Faris and
C. P. Blankenship have some of
the finest corn that we have ever
seen in this section. We don't
know which will make the most
per acre, but we have too much
faith in these two gentlemen to
believe that either will try to
out-lie Jerry Moore in measuring
the corn.
So, hurrah for Jones and Cansler.

The Prayer in Politics.
(Charlotte Observer.)
Those South Carolinians who j
have appointed a day of prayer t
for the election of "true, pure, t
clean mew" men to office in that s
State, were guilty of an error of i
omission. They should have spe- c
cified the men whom they would s
present collectively or indivrdu- i
ally as true and pure and clean, t
As framed their prayer is too (
much a prayer of generalities,
though it is supposed to be directed
against the re-election of
Gov. Blease. When a prayer is
offered up, it should be one of 1
directness, leaving nothing to be j
understood. Last summer a con- \
siderable discussion was engaged J
in by the newspapers of this j
State as to the propriety of pray- (
ing for rain. Those who con- j
tended that it was proper to .
mol-o cnph nptitinn.c. an obiect of
prayer had much better ground
for their contention than have
these South Carolina people who
would institute a political prayer
day. The propriety of such a
proceeding is, in our opinion, a
doubtful one. We question if
the Almighty will see proper to
interfere in a condition for which
the people of South Carolina are
themselves solely to blame. It'i
looks too much like an effort to
throw a responsibility upon the
Lord which is one that properly
belongs upon the shoulders of
the people of that State. It is
too much in the nature of a guilty
cry and as such may not be
expected to arouse any very
great degree of public sympathy.

County Fair Association Busy.
T. 0. Flowers, James S. White
and W. B. Wilson, of the board
of incorporators of the York
county fair association, with secretary
S. R. Spencer, spent Wednesday
morning in Yorkville,
conferring with a number of the
temporary directors appointed
from the yarious townships, says
the Rock Hill Herald. While all
the appointees were not present
those joining in the conference
were enthusiastic and readily
agreed to give the movement
their most hearty support. Three
directors from each township
have been appointed, but all
Viavp not hppn hparH from. The
incorporators will continue their
work until there are three directors
at work in each township.
Those who met yesterday were
Dr. B. N. Miller and J. H. Saye, \
of Broad River; R. M. Bratton
and J. T. Crawford, of Bethesda;
J. F. Williams, W. C. Faris and
T. M. Oates, of Ebenezer; L. A.
Harris, Jackson Hamilton and
W. M. White, of Fort Mill; J. R.
Blair, W. L. Latham and H. D?
Cranford, of Bullock's Creek;
Bolliva Scott and Paul Neely
Moore, of York. Each of these
gentlemen were furnished subscription
blanks and they proceeded
to get busy forthwith.
It is thought that more than 100
shares were taken yesterday, one
of the directors having secured
subscribers for fifteen shares
within a short while after the
list was handed him. Chairman
Flowers, of the bcaid of incorporators,
expressed himself today
as being greatly pleased over
the earnestness with which the
directors started their campaign.
He expressed the belief that the
thousand shares will be subscribed
with in a remarkably
short time.
Protection From Storms.
The tornado has its terrors.
mi . _ _ _ * 4,:
mere is no way 01 preventing
these storms, but there is safet\
in a good storm cellar. The
house cellar is not always a safe
place to go. Flying timbers ann
falling brick may injure or kill
those seeking shelter. A gooc.
concrete storm cave can be made
that affords protection to human
life. Be sure and provide ventilation
in the cement storm cave
so if anything fell to prevent
opening the door the occupants
would not smother. Take a
crowbar and ax into the cave so
you can work your way out if the
entrance becomes blocked.
Against lightning there is
safety in the lightning rod, if
properly put on the building.
Every wire fence should be
grounded with wire every two or
three rods, so the stroke of
lightning would not kill live stock
that always drift against a
fence in a severe storm. A lone
tree in the field is not a very
safe place in a lightning storm.
Do not attempt to crawl through
a wire lence at such a time, a
lightning stroke half a mile away
will kill if the fence has not
been grounded.
In a house not protected by
lightning, it is unsafe to stand
by the stove, the screen door,
the eavespout, or any metal
connected with the roof, during
a severe thunder storm. For
the feeling of safety they afford,
the storm cellar and the lightning
rods are worth more than
the little they cost.
Tom Felder Gone to Europe.
A Columbia dispatch to The
News and Courier says that the
fact that Col. Thomas B. Felder,
the Atlanta attorney and special
enemy of the governor of South
Carolina, has sailed for Europe j
is taken to mean that no more
of the Burns-Felder testimony '
will be taken by the South Caro- i
lina investigating committee, at
least until after the election. 1
This deduction is drawn for several
reasons, one of which is that
Col. Felder has sailed for Eu- j
rope, and another of which is
that several of the members of '<
the investigating committee are j
in the throes of their own county
campaigns.

FOR THE KIDNEYS
A Guaranteed Treatment. Money
Back if It Fails. .
Kidney diseases are more prevalent
than is generally supposed, and are
not always recognized as such. What
was at first but a slight derangement
of the kidneys often results in indigestion,
rheumatism, an?emia, chronic and
very painful headache, neuralgia, eye
weakness, and other diseases of a most
aggravating type. Therefore it is highly
important and absolutely necessary
that the kidneys and the urinary system"
be kept in an active and healthy condition.
After a thorough experience with
the most successful form of kidney
treatments, we are confident that the
one remedy which embraces the most
desirable, safe and efficacious curative
qnalities so necessary to the successful
treatment and positive eradication of
kidney disease in general, is Rexall
Kidney Pills.
We ary so positive that Rexall Kidnes
Pills are unexcelled, and that they
will do all we claim, that we sell them
with our own personal guarantee that
they shall not cost the user a cent if
they should fail to give entire satisfaction.
We p&rticularlv recommend Rexall
Kidney Pills for kidney ailments that
resist ordinary treatment. We believe,
if taken according to directions with
regularity and persistency for a reasonable
length of time, they will positively
remove ail symptoms and effect permanent
cure.
Surely we could not more strongly
demonstrate our faith in Rexall Kidney
Pills, and our generous guarantee
should convince the most sceptical that
we would not dare make such a statement
except we know what we are
talking about. We urge you to try
Rexall Kidney Pills at our risk. Price
50c. Sold in this community only at
