THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 7.1912.
Wilson Elected.
The returns from the presi&
dential election up to midnight
fr- Tuesday night indicate that Wilson
and Marshall, the Democratic
candidates, have been
elected by an overwhelming majority
and that Roosevelt is
r second in the race, far outdistancing
President Taft. Both the
President and Roosevelt have
h conceded the election of Wilson
and it is certain that both
branches of Congress will be
Democratic. States that have
never gone Democratic before
swung to Wilson, who will have
more than 400 votes in the
electoral college, in which only
266 are necessarv to a choice.
Johnson, the black pugilist,
seems to be in difficulties with
the law. If what is alleged of j
him is true he deserves the fullest
penalty of the law and to be
deported as an undesirable citizen.
It is a peculiar psychological
fact that men of his stamp,
noted only for brute strength
and lacking in moral and mental
character, are able to exercise
a potent and pernicious influence
over a certain class of people not
necessarily bad, but who are
- morbidly susceptible and weakminded.
And this influence is
all the worse in its outcome when
it is exercised over women of
another race. This trouble would
i largely cease if so many people
fc^^would not make heroes of brutal
^oruisers. Pugilism flourishes because
many people have low and
degrading tastes for the gratification
of which they are willing
to pay heavily. Pugilism is not
sport, it is nothing but a barbarous
practice followed for the
money pugilists and their backers
may make out of it.
?
Public opinion against gambling
continues to crystalize and men
who put themselves against the
law are finding the law too strong
for them. Especially has this
been realized very recently in
Indiana, when gamblers seeking
to follow their calling under
guise of promoting the breeding
and development of horses hive,
to their keen disappointment,
found arrayed against them the
governor of the State and the
strong arm of the law. Gamblers
are notoriously law break- (
ers, and in the long run violators
- * 1 - ii?
01 law youuuv tviiic tw 511V.1.
Perhaps the time may come
when everybody may realize
that it is both easier and better
to gain a living in honest ways
than in ways that are both immoral
and illegal.
The Lancaster News wonders
why Mr. E. H. Aull, a strong
Blease suppoiter, was not elected
superintendent of education
in Newberry county, the home
county of the Governor. Probably
for the same reason that
Messrs. Jones and Hines, supporters
of Judge Jones, we are
^ told, were not elected to the
Legislature from Lancaster, the
home county of Judge Jones.
The cases are similar, a lack of
votes being the trouble. In this
connection it would be interesting
for The News to tell us how
it was that Mr. Claude Sapp, a
staunch Blease supporter, was
elected to the Legislature from
old Lancaster.
It is never out of order to remind
people that no law can en
force itself. The statute dooks
of most States have in them
many excellent laws that are
never enforced because people
are indifferent. One common
fault is that while many people
are anxious to have good laws
passed they take no interest in
having those laws enforced, and
so they remain a dead letter.
Evil-minded people are quite
willing to have good laws passed
if they have the assurance that
nothing will be done to make
them effective.
Sheriff Lyon of Abbeville ,
county is, according to the Abbeville
Medium, in possession of a
real conjure bag, containing such
things as lizzard toes, snakes'
feet, frog teeth, etc., the same
being taken from the person of a
negro arrested by the officer a
few days ago. This instrument \
doubtless would have brought a
* pretty penny had it been dis
Wm covered prior to -the late primary, j <
While the annual number of
deaths on our American railroads
is appalling it would be unfair to
charge them all against the roads.
The truth is a very large proportion
of many of such deaths
is that of tramps who trespass
on the tracks and thereby endanger
their lives. The best
plan to prevent such slaughter
is to follow the European plan of
prohibiting trespassing and to
see that trespassers are punished.
Of course it is hard to enforce
such a law in a country so vast
as this and especially in places
remote from cities or large towns,
but it can be done to a much
greater extent than it now is.
The difference between a trust
supposed to be dissolved and one
that has not experienced that
operation seems to be that with
the undissolved trust its heads
? 1 A
meet together once a weeK ai
dinner and transact business,
while with the other its heads do
business over the phone, but the
result is the same. By the way,
a trust that has passed through
the throes of dissolution has as
many aliases as there are States
in the Union.
Facts About the Parcels Post.
The Charlotte News of Friday
gave some valuable information
concerning the parcels post mail
system, to become operative
January 1, from which the following
extracts are taken:
The rates will be governed by
distances and weight, and the
distance determined by zones.
Packages may weigh as much
as 11 pounds and can be 6 feet in
length.
Service rendered by the postal
system is more extensive than
the service rendered by express
companies. For instance, the
charge made by an express company
for a 200-mile haul covers
the transportation of a package
only from one town to another
without any rural service. The
parcel-post system will take a
package from a farmer's home
on a rural route, carry it to town,
transport 200 miles over rail
routes, and then, if desired, deliver
it to another farmer out on
another rural route. Further,
the total routes covered by the
express companies aggregate but
258,000 miles, while the general
mail routes cover 435,000 miles,
not to mention more than 1,000,000
miles of rural routes.
In comparing the parcel-post
rates with express rates, the
fharantpr of fhp service rendered
should be considered. The parcel-post
rates are very much lower
than express rates on the
smaller packages and slightly
higher on the larger packages.
The parcel-post system makes
a reduction of the present postal
rates on fourth class matter
varying from 25 to 88 per cent.
Distinctive parcel-post stamps
must be used on all fourth-class
matter, and such matter bearing
ordinary postage stamps will be
treated as "held for postage."
Parcels will be mailable only
at postoffices, branch postoffices,
lettered and local named sta tions,
and such numbered' stations as
may be designated by the postmaster.
All parcels must bear the return
card of the sender; otherwise,
they will not be accepted
for mailing.
New Baseball League Proposed.
An important meeting of the
Columbia baseball club will be
held this week, according to the
Greenville Piedmont, at which
the formation of a new league
will be discussed. Columbia has
withdrawn from the South Atlantic
because of the long jumps
and excessive expenditures for
fares necessitated under that organization.
It is understood that a new
league to be composed of Greenville,
Columbia, Augusta, Charlotte,
Charleston and Spartanburg
will be discussed. All of
these are mighty good baseball
towns, are close rivals and on an
average of 100 miles apart.
Greenville, Charlotte and Spartanburg
have been in the Carolina
association, but the fiveyear
agreement was out with
the close of the last season and
it is believed that the three
towns could secure their release.
? It is probable that the movement
for the formation of a new
league will take on decided activity
after the meeting of the
Columbia club this week.

WOODROW WILSON - DEM
Complying With the Law.
A number of newspaper publishers
have kicked on the recent
act of Congress requiring
that ownership and circulation
of the daily papers be made public
at certain periods, claiming
that Uncle Sam is thus taking
the part of an inquisitive meddler,
but there is one editor up
ir? Pormovlvnnia who COeS a lit
tie beyond the demand made of
him and holds up for the public
gaze some of his dbmestic
affairs. This is what he says,
after telling who owns his paper
and how far it circulates: "It is
not required by the act of Congress
but we do not mind telling
the Postmaster General that we
also own a lawn mower, and
have a limited amount of stock
in two telephone companies. A
dog, locally known as 'Nigger,'
tags up arcund sometimes, but
we disclaim all ownership of or
responsibility for him. Said
dog sleeps on the mat by our
front door when he don't sleep
somewhere else. He comes to
our house when we have chicken
for dinner, and he climbs up
and licks our hands and face
when he wants a favor. At
other times he don't know us.
Said dog is a pretty good politician.
We don't know what he
is running for, but the last we
jsaw of him he was running
from a chunk of wood we threw
at him because he played tag
> 1-f-A. I :? ?
with our unaersniri nauguiK
the clothes line. We are a Taft
man and we wear false teeth.
We used to go to Sunday school.
If there is any further information
that the Postmaster General
wants in regard to us, or our
paper, he is respectfully referred
to the police."?Ex.

Our neighbors generally are
well, I think. This old sinner is
ailing most of the time, but it is
rarely the case that he is not in
his seat at grub time, though
sometimes grub is rather slim.
However, the muscadine crop
I was bountiful, persimmons are
now ripening and for meat we
will have rabbit, for they are
ripening, too. We feel kind o'
good ever the outlook and soon
we may expect those Fort Mill
preachers to be nosing around
here, for they pretend to get
awful meat hungry about this
time of year. Well, we can't
join in the chase with them, as
we did formerly, but we are
pleased to inform them that we
are a first-class setter, or sitter
maybe, we don't know which is
proper, perhaps Prof. Moore can
inform you.
