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- ,

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

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.

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

home on Clebourn street.
Mrs. R. F. Boyd is ill at her
