THURSDAY. FEBRUARY ?. 1913. j
Newspaper reading is the best
protection against the machinations
of swindlers. 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

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,

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.

The Ideate tf Hajar C?yttll.
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.
