Good luck to the jjovernment
in its efforts to round up the
slackers! Publication of the
slacker lists in the newspapers
will help wonderfully; but the
lists will not contain many a name
which should be on them.

The supreme court of the
United States Monday set aside
the conviction of Senator New
berry of Michigan, who was under
sentence to serve two year?
in the federal prison at Leavenworth,
Kans., lor violating the
act of Congress specifying the
amount beyond which candidates
for the senate should not go in
their campaign expenditures. At
the time Newberry was convicted
we expressed the opinion that it
was extremely doubtful whether
the penitentiary doors would evei
open for his reception ?not because
we doubted the righteous,
ness of the verdict against him
but because we knew it was
about as hard in this country today
to land a malefactor of great
wealth behind prison bars as u
was in ancient tunes for a camel
to crawl through a needle's eye.
More and more we are coming
round to'the belief that the criminal
laws of of the country are
designed piiiicipally to catch po'
white folks and niggers. If tile
man without bulging pockets 01
influential friends is convicted o?
violating a relatively unimport
ant criminal law he will have to
find in some way the money to
pay his tine or go to prison. And
it often happens that in imposiMU"
nr?..r?
...0 ..VM? j acuv u ll}/uii |JUUt 1111*11
our judges lose sight of the fact
that the convicted man will not
he the real suffer, but that it actually
means in many cas*s the
taking of food from the mouths
of helpless children. We should
hate to be responsible for an innocent
child having to go to bed
supperless or having its body
half clothed to pay for the wrongdoing
of its father, however
worthless he might be. But to
get back to the Newberry ease,
the decision of the supreme court
doubtless was hailed with great
joy by the occupant's of millionaires
row in the United States
senate ?a pretty bunch of misfits
to make laws for a great and intelligent
people!
The Times is in full accord
with the statement of a contemporary
that while the traditions
of American universities is basically
sound, the recent discovery
that there exist Kiwii
_ ...V.v?ivu vi i aui"
cals in 38 of the major educational
institutions of the country
should not be overlooked. Young
men and young women in their
college years are impetuous and
impatient. They al\yays have
been and probably always will
be. They set out to cure overnight
the besetting ills of this
world, and they ignore all diagnoses
and courses of treatment
that time has proved sound. This
is to be expected of youth. Experience,
however, is a competent
teacher, and the youthful
S >cialist usually becomes the old
age conservative. The dinger
lies not so much in the fact that
young men and young worn m
will talk socialistic theories as it
doas in the possibility that radi'
cat agents may seek to make use
of these, youthful intellects.
Goalless homes would welcome
the advent of spring weather. 1

The following interesting information
relati4e to York county
appeared in a recent issue of
a scholl bulletin issued bp Winthrop
college:
York county borders on North
Carolina, and is a north-central
county of South Carolina. Its total
area is about ti8t>.(>8 square
miles and it comprises nine townships
which lie somewhat in tiers
of three. Three ot these townships.
bethel, King's Mountain
unu Broad River, have areas containing
a number of small mountains.
Bethel is crossed from west
ill an easterly direction by Crowder
aud Big Allison creeks; Bullock
is crossed from north in a
southwesterly direction by Bullock
and Turkey creeks. These
two townships have some rather
rough and hilly areas.
Two rairoads, the Carolina &
Northwestern and the Charleston
division of the Southern, praclically
bisect the county, east and
west, and north and south, respeceively.
The main line of the
Seaboard Air Line crosses a few
miles of the southeastern corner
of the county, and the Savannah
Charlotte branch ot the Southern
crosses the county, from Chester
through Rock Hill and FortMill.
cutting off a southeastern section
of the county, approximating 130
square miles. Broad^Kiver forms
a part of the western boundary
of the county, and the Catawba
river separates Fort Mill township
from the remaining townships
and constitutes n part of
the eastern county boundary.
The ponn'v of York is ai part
<>f the border territory which
originally formed a part of North
Carolina. A survey was made
about the time of the Revolutionary
wMia which gave an upper tier
of counties to South Carolina and
. L a *
i ins new ii'iTiiory was Known its
"In1 "Now A<aniiisition. The district
of York was created in 178")
rind a court house was _buill?aJ~
Kerjrus' Cross RoidsA which is the
present location. Time elapsed
before there were many stores at
the county neat and the wants of
'he peonle were supplied from
the peddler's pack. A store was
built about 1810.
In 1808 a survey was made of
York county by Col. W. B. Allison.
This survev established the
township boundaries of the
county.
The earlv settlers were ScotchIrish
and Scots. They were stroue
believers in religions liberty whf*
brought their Bibles across with
them. Thev were hitte? ajid fearless
opponents of the British and
Tories, neer takinpr recourse to
British protection. Such was the
spirit which won the Revolutionary
war.
After the Revolution and dnr
injr tno early decades of the 1800's
here were scant means of obtaining
an education. There were
verv few hooks obtainable. Tories
had destroved hooks wherever
thev had found them. Ministers
of the Oospel became the teachers.
We read that even such n
hook as "Lock's Essay on the
Human Understanding' was put
o use for learning the letters and
to read and spell, and copies for
writing were set with a stick on
an even spot of ground. In the
period of common school revival.
1830-60. institutions of learning
were established with considerable
rapidity.
A very distinguished scholar
who began teaching in York a
few years before the War Between
the States was Dr. Robert
Latham Dr. Lathau taught the
Brick Academy in York about
1852 ami made of it a well known
school. After the constitution of
1868. Dr. Lathnn organized the
county school system. During fh?
period of negro rule he was put
out of office, hut was restored
with Hampton's administration
and was commissioner until about
1888. Dr. Taithan was a scholarly
minister and rendered and
lent and pioneer serice for education
in York.
Bethel presbytery established
Yorkville college in 18f?2. This
was a nonsectnrian institution
and was considered the equal of
any college in the State prior to
1860. Like many other institu.tioiiR.
it could not he revived after
the war. It was sold to citij
zens of Yorkville and it was later
! converted into what was about
the second graded school of the
State?about 1882 or 1880. "H,
