Joe Jackson, South Carolinian, and
Ty Cobb, Georgian, were "neck and

honors. Here's hopin' that Jackson's
neck is the streechiest.

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<

in his race with Durant Smith. Now

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. I
