(Governor Manning In li Ih Inaugural
address naltl : "I have faith In our
people; I believe that they want tbe
Iiiwh enforce<l, and their conscience Im
awakened on thin subject. lAit me add
another word, not an a threat, but ax
a warning: If In any community the
lawful authorities fail to enforeo the
laws, It will then ho my duty to hcc
that the lawn are ol>eyed. This I In
tend to do." We know of no county
that needs the laws euforced more than
hi Kershaw county. The police and
uonstables have been very active in
Ihe pant few weeks and have been
successful In catching a number of
criminals without much help from the
county authorities ? They are t.<> he
(tommcmled for their g<M>d work. It Is
said that In many sections of this
?ounty blind tigers have been doing a
rushing business without being molest
ed, and it seems now is a good time
to get rid of this class of law breakers.

tion, which has not been explained
definitely. Immediately after he had
resigned, Covernor Please was asked
why he took this action, and he re
plied "there Is no reason." The former
chief executive declared he would nev
er accept a position as corporation
counsel. He denied In emphatic lan
guage a report that he hal been ap

Must Fay for Paper. S
Judge C cargo Thoma? ??f Columbus,
Ohio, recently decided that if ft man
accepts a pui>er that in sent him he
must pay for it. The decision was
rendered in the case brought by the
Columbus Telegram against a man for
$2.35. The Telegram had been sent to
the man's home an<l he accepted the
pajK?r. When called upon to pay for
it he refused, and suit was brought.
When Judge Tlionias heard tlie evi
dence he instructed the Jury to bring
in a verdict for the Telegram.
Judge Thomas rules- that the old
common law principle that what a
man received and used he was bound
to pay for applied in this instance.
THINK IT OVER.
The weekly newspaper promotes the
Interests of the town in which it is
published to such an extent that it he
comes impossible t<? place an estimate
upon its worth. There is no enter
prise that does so much for the cor
poration or the individual citizen as
the pa i km\ It stands opposed to the
town knocker, the town kicker, the
town fanatic and the town drones." It
stands for action as against dry rot.
It stands for progress as against stag.-,
nation. It is ever ready to combat
the schemes of visionaries and as rea
dy to aid the constructive plans of
tiie wise and level-headed citizens. It
is for the upbuilding of the communi
ty. The pa|K'r lias not yet come into
its own, however, because"' it is never
appreciated to the extent of Its worth
by the people at largo. Yet when bat
tles are to l>e fought for town or coun
ty a rush is made to the newspaper
otlice always to lind the loyal editor
ready, frequently, without hoj>e of re
ward. Many other enterprises are en
couraged by a bonus, but rarely is the
newspaper offered any such help and
still more often not given the support
it is entitled to. Communities fre
quently lose sight of their real bene
factor when they fail to recognize the J
weekly journal as such. The editor
and bis paper stand as the bulwarks
of defense against the attacks of evil
or designing schemes affecting the
good of the individual or the town.
l*'or these and other reasons the news
papers of the town and county should
receive the supjiort of the public at
large in a very liberal degree, for it
is really the most ini|>ort?int business
enterprise of the community.
