F.very trick that ia used by the bunco-steer- < era is old and has at frequent intervals been exposed in the press. But the frequent exposures do no good unless they are read by those who are most likely to be beguiled by the swindlers. Not long ago there was printed in a California paper an expose of a gang which had cleaned up over $1,000,000 in the Italian quarter E AO th" ? ^San Francisco by some of the / a <iHL>llcutc r,? . . ? ' whu/ cxcitod. -ucient tricks known to the und Koi'ks refuRQ. . . , Mrs. bihz. s. veteenng trade. Of course, man tutor. '"(success of these criminals Daphn? il^'due to the cupidity and guldumfmii^iiity 0f their victims. The Rff-' people who were swindled were, for the most part, laboring people from outside cities. But there are many more sophisticated persons who are liable to fall victims to bunco-steerers. The most ancient tricks sometimes take in those who pride themselves upon being well informed. It is safe to surmise that the victims of the California gang were not even casual readers of newspapers, or they would not have been taken in by such ancient forms of trickery. If the newspaper had no other function, it can at least l.e claimed for ii that it is the best and perhaps the only insurance against the, bunco-steerer, . ' "" 1 v . ' Why should we he tender in - our treatment of children and so indulgent and respectful toward the ag? d? Why should we not be? The pencri.th n in the full flush of life are in rivalry one with another in business and in the affairs of life every day they live. There can be no rivalry or compel if i< ?> between the active g< miction iff d the generation of children, and none between the active generation and the generation that is passing away. The day of the children has not yet come, and aurely should be pre-! sented to them in a cheerful, encouraging light. As the years pass they will bring enough dark days, enough trials and disappointments. And ought not the declining days of the aged be made as bright as possible? They have had their day, have fought their battles, endured their trials, suffered their disappointments. And surely every sentiment of humanity calls upon us to make their declining years as bright and satisfactory as they may be. TUo u/:n?i tilic CICVIIUI!

Relative to the published statement in The Times of last Thursday that Major Campbell, a colored man who had been! sentenced to York jail by the mayor of Fort Mill for retailing, ha/J been discharged from the countv ia.il bv Sheriff Hmrh Brown on account of the prisoner's health, the publisher of The Times has received from the Sheriff a letter giving a different; reason for the release of Campbell. Sheriff Brown says, .in part: "I have carefully examined the Statute law of the State and can find no authority whatever, for charging the expenses of Major Campbell commited by the town of Fort Mill for an of- i fence against the town, and not a county offence, to the county, and of course the county would not pay me, and, if I kept him it would be at my own personal expense. The jail, as you know is a county institution, and of wurk wueu irie maipjiiniu: 01 Fort Mill commits prisoners for offences against the county I am bound to take them and the county pays for them, but when a prisoner is committed by the town of Yorkville, Clover, Fort Mill or any town in the county for an offence against the town, the town must bear the expense of his incarceration, for thus the law is written." The Times wishes to assure Sheriff Brown that the item appearing in last week's issue was intended in no way as aeriueUm of his act, as this newspaper harbors no desire to injure the Sheriff or other official of the county. The statement that Campbell was discharged from | jail on account of his health was published purely as a matter of news from a report that was current on the streets of Fort Mill at the time. The Bamberg Herald is due credit for being about the only weekly paper in the State operating a lynotype machine that does not use plate matter. The 14th and 15th Anendmsnti. There are five sections of the ! 14th amendment, the last four . . . i : . ?* * - i MecuoiiH fiavin# reierence 10 me apifortionment of representation on Congress from the several States and the apportionment of the public debt. The first section of this amendment declares that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State when in they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of dtizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any per on within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws." That is the essence of the 14th amendment, and here is the 15th: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of iace, color or previous condition of servitude. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." The 14th amendment was of date of July 28, 1868, and the 15th amendment of March 30, 1870. New York Legislation.
