General order No. 1: The prosperity procession will halt and mark time until the farmers* hand wagon takes position at the head of the column. Joe Jackson, South Carolinian, and Ty Cobb, Georgian, were "neck and neck" last week in the race for batting honors. Here's hopin' that Jackson's neck is the streechiest. "Who is the guy that put the cow in Cowpens?"?Gaffney Ledger. Why, that's easy. The goat-headed guy who grazed the cow on th?* grcenless | green in Greenville, of courre. With Charlotte, Columbia, Charleston, Atlanta and other wholesale cen- i ters nearby we cannot understand why the merchants of South Carolina and other Southern States flock by thousands to New York twice a year to buy ( goods. Since the Yorkville Enquirer has become painfully quiet in regard to th<coming York fair, it is to be hoped that the Yorkville News, soon to appear, will make its advent in time to push along the fair movement in that end of the county. Mr. Merchant: Do you know some stores that are no better than yours? yet are advertised twice as much? Do you know some of them that are not half bo good as yours?yet better advertised? Think it over, and let it worry you somewhat. The Newberry Herald and News tells of the arrest in that county of a "three-year" negro who had gone t< a nearby village for his wife. Tht charge against the negro is not stated, but we suppose it was an infraction ot the State marriage license law which does not grant the nuptial right to "three-year" persons. "With both of these gentlemen (Rembert and McLaurin) swinging on t< Coley, he will be somewhat handicapped in his race with Durant Smith. Now won't it be a lively race, the war cry of one beirg, 'To hell with the constitution,' and the other 'Hold it 'till hell ? '' T XT ....... AAV.VC4VCI U*Cl . liUIIVOnVUI ni'WP. I Whoup-e-e! Shades of 0. Damniitt! Such talk as this cumin)? from "Sister" Wiley almost makes our eye teeth 8hiver. It is certain that exclusive of the cases that have proved fatal there are at present 50,000 persons in the South afflicted with pellagra. The symptoms of the disease are becoming less severe, hut the number of cases is not decreasing. The ailment, which formerly was almost exclusively confined to poorer classes, probably on acc- unt of their generally unfortunate surroundings iH spreading more and more among those who are prosperous. The sudden death at sea Thursday of Mayor William Gaynor of New York was a shock to the entire country. The news of Mr. Gaynor's death was telegraphed ashore by his son who was accompanying him on a trip to Europe. Mayor Gaynor had been a conspicuous figure in New York city politics for a number of years. Practically conscripted for the office of Mayor, hi9 vigorous administration of that office won the admiration of ?h?. entire country and he proved himself a public servant of rare sanity and usefulness. The Times was informed a day or two ago by a Columbia newspaper man that it i3 the practice of the Columbia police authoritiea when a man is taken into custody by them on a serious charge, such as highway robbery, if there is any doubt about his guilt in certain cases the prisoner is subjected to physical torture in an effort to secure a confession. We ure not in position to charge that the Columbia police authorities are guilty of such barbarity, but the information we have on the subject came from a reliable man and it might be worth while for Governor Bleasc to look into the matter. The reader of a newspaper will readily agree that it is necessary for a merchant, with any pretension to progressiveness, to advertise. Yet this would not be true if it were not equally true that it is necessary for the reader of the newspaper, if he or she have any pretentions to progressiveness, to read and answer the ads. These are twin-fneta tu-in sities. Whatever is of enough importance for the merchant to pay for the privilege of Baying is of too much importance for the reader to overlook. And just as advertising is the way of the progressive store, so is the reading of advertising the way of the progressive person. Measure your progressiveness by this standard, and you will not go far wrong. Retributive punishment is no longer inflicted in civilized communities. This does not imply that society looks more indulgently upon crime than formerly. It simply means that society now realizes that punishment should be reformatory in its character and therefore the penalty imposed has for its object the reclamation of the offender. Of course society has to be protected against dangerous persons, but the number of such persons will decrease under the modern system. The old j brutal and vindictive punishment but hardened the criminal and made him on his release a more dangerous character. Today the purpose is to lead a prisoner j to become a better man and useful to 1 society through the medium of suitable j work and humane and intelligent treat- j ment, and the results are gratifying.
