No. 112. Rntered nt the nordofflcc at Fort Mill. S. O.. as j mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY. JULY 1. 1915. One of the Editor's Troubles. How difficult a thinj? it is to conduct a newspaper so as to ? i i- 1 _ please everyooay, received a fresh illustration a few clays ago in the case of the Newberry Herald and News. In reporting the Hong murder case the Herald and News gave a somewhat lengthy occount, which to all intents and purposes was scrupulously correct, and which consisted largely of the court stenographer's notes, but lo, and behold, when the next issue of the paper came from the press on the front page there appeared, in parallel columns, a letter from a friend or relative of t^e dead man, protesting against the unfairness or one-sidedness of the report, and a similar letter from somebody on the other side protesting just as vigorously and vehemently against the injustice done the | man charged with the killing. The Yorkville Enquirer, commenting on the case, says this, and The Enquirer's observation i tion will be borne out by most newspaper workers' experiences: "Fair and truthful statements rarely ever please the parties at interest, because most people want more than they are entitled to. " ? Chester Reporter. A Neglected Du'y. Instead of devoting so mucl time to exchanging "notes" with Germany, the IfTiited States government should busy itself in th< matter of England holding up several shipments of dye-stuffs from Germany to this country. Already a number of large South- , _ Ml 1 Ml . 1 urn nuns nave eicner eui noui> or shut down on account of the dye situation, and unless relief comes soon there will he a wholesale closing of the textile plants, with the result that thousands and thousands of mill workers! will be thrown out of employ-j ment. We imagine that were President Wilson to place a U mporary embargo on the exportation of war supplies from this country to England, we would; have little difficulty in the future of getting dyes tuffs or other i i/i 111 iuu 11 Ji*r? iiuill v ici III.ii iv Ul , elsewhere. Wrong Lnd of the Line. It seems that the tax com-, mission created under an act of the last session of the legislature! to work out a plan for a just "" and* equitable assessment of property for taxation has started , at the wrong end of the line. Instead of inquiring into the returns of properties that have been acknowledged to be far below what they should have , been placed at, the commission has devoted its most serious attention to the people who are already paying more than their just proi>ortion of the taxes. ' Instead of seeking to equalize,' the effort seems to be to make the difference in returns only the greater and to lay on heavier1 and heavier where the burden should be lightened. This course instead of making matters better is making them worse and will tend to grave complications. We do nor. blame the backs and other corporations for seeking redress and declaring- that if necessary they will go into the courts. This should not be required of them and we hope that the commission will see its mis-; take and change its course. Let it begin at the right end of the line and correct where correction is most needed. Corporations should be treated with just as much equity as individuals. They are not all soulless, as a great many seem to think them to be. And, even if they were, that would be no excuse for treating thern unjustly.- Greenwood Journal. Fell Dead in Field. A 'phone message from Upper Fort Mill late Tuesday afternoon told of the sudden death of William Gulp, a well known farmer of that section. , Mr. Culp had not been in good health for several months, but had not complained of feeling unusually ill on Tuesday. At the time of his death, Mr. Culp was at work in the field near his home and had just finished a conversation with a gentleman of this city. Heart failure was supposed to have been the cause of his death. Mr. Culp was about GO years of age. was twice married, and is survived by his second wife and a number of children. The burial was made in New Unity Cemetery, this city, Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Put Name on Package. Names of the sender of a package by parcel post must hereafter be put on each package. The omission of the sender's name and address from parcels causes much inconvenience and annoyance, r.ot only to the postal service, but to the addressee as well, and postmasters are enjoined to comply strictly with the following requirements: "A parcel of fourth class matter shall not be accepted for mailing unless it bears the name and address of the sender, w hich should be preceded by tin word 'From.' When a parcel of fourth class matter which does not bear the name and address of the sender is deposited for mailing, and the sender is known or can be ascertained from the contents of the parcel, it shall be returned to him with the information that his name and address should be placed on it. If the sender is not known or cannot be ascertained, the parcel should be marked 'Sender unknown' and dispatched." Thinks Encampments Certain. W. VV. Moore, adjutant general. said Tuesday night that the National Guard encampment would assuredly be held this summer, in accordance with the orders already issued; that oi the Second regiment at Greenville, July 7 to 17; that of the First regiment at the Isle of l'alms, July 20 to 30, according to a Columbia dispatch. The adjutant geneia! said he had consulted the comptroller general, who had said he would honor warrants upon the State funds drawn in accordance with the apportionment made recently by the military boaad. The federal disbursing officer also will, according to the adjutant general. pay out the funds in his charge according to the orders issued from the adjutant general's office. Seized Much Booze. One of the largest single captures of liquor made since the sloop load was confiscated occurred Sunday in Charleston, when constables discovered and seized 14 barrels of whiskey containing a total of 210 gallons besides some case goods. The liquor was found under a house up town. It was stored in the jail building and later turned over to the dispensary authorities. Another Squabble in Militiadom. A report Tuesday from Columbia said that Attorney General Peeples had given an opinion in * eirect that the regimental officers of the three former regiments S. C. N. G. cannot be mustered out of service and that the proclamation of former Governor Blease under date of Januarv 11. 1915, mustering out arid disbanding: the National Guard of the State, was legal, On Jan. 22, 1915, Governor Manning: issued a proclamation, declaring: the orders of former Governor Blease illegal and void and declared that the National Guard was still an organization and that the officers and men were not alfected by the proclamation. Military authorities at Columbia say that the opinion of Altornov f inn.->?- > 1 ? ?: i1 j v.v,..wi?i i ccpica will have the effect of nullifying the orders for encampments of tl e two regiments this month, and that the matter probably will be taken into the courts. Should the courts hold that the order of Governor Blease is legal and that of Governor Manning illegal, then the State of South Carolina has no militia, organized or unorganized, think the military authorities. Thaw Always Sane. Dr. Charles P. Bancroft, head of the New Hampshire State hospital for the insane and a member of the federal commission which examined Harry K.. Thaw during ,his sojourn in New Hampshire, swore on the witness stand Monday that in his opinion Thaw not only was sane but always had b.en sane. Dr. Bancroft n stified as an expert alienist in the jury proceedings to determine Thaw's mental condition. r,u ...... inaws act in Killing Stanford vYhite, Dr. Bancroft said, was not the product of a systematized delusion such as characterizes the true paranoiac. Miss Louise Parks, a valued employe of The Times ctfice, has been ill for several days at her home on Clebourn street. Mrs. R. F. Boyd is ill at her home in Flint Hill community.
