Muny of (ho citizens of the county will regret to know that the Kershaw County Fall* committee has decided not to hold their annual fair this year, on account of the general condition* prevailing. They Intend to begin early next year and expect to have a great fair for 1910. / We found the following U)K>n our desk the other day and do not know t lie author, but there Is ho much truth in it that we are putting It In print: "When (Jod finish**! making the rat Hemutke, the toad and the vampire, he had an awful substance ieft, <>r which he made the knocker. A knock er 1h a two legged animal with a Water Hogged hraln and a backbone of Jelly and glue. Where honemt men have their hearts he carries decayed prin ciples. When the knocker comes down the street honest men turn their hacks, angels weep In heaven and the devil shuts the doors of hell upon him." A Virginia editor threatened to pub lish the name of a certain young man who was seen hugging and kissing a girl in the park unless his subscription to the paper was paid up In a week. Fifty-nine young men called and paid up the next day, while two even paid a year in advance. Thanks to Those Who Helped. The Chronicle desires to thank its friends throughout the county who so kindly telephoned the results of the ejection to Us Tuesday evening, in a short while after the polls closed we had the result displayed on a bulletin. Hy doing this they not only gave the information to us but helped us to give It to the entire state. The tele phone operators also have our thanks for their splendid service. Chamber of Commerce Notes. Mr. F. M. WoOten has accepted the position of Chairman of the Committee on Railroad Freight Itates, made va cant by tin; death of Mr. H. L. Wat kins, and will attend the conference called by the itailroad Commission of South Carolina at Columbia, on Thurs day, Sept. .'10th. at 11. 80 a. in. The railroad commission on Mils occasion desires to meet representatives of the trades bodies of South Carolina, In order to discuss "the elimination and changes of certain items now appear ing In tlie freight classifications of the South Carolina Itailroad Commission known as 'South Carolina Exception, Sheet No. 10 to Southern Classifica tion^ also .certain proposed changes In the South Carolina demurrage ruies.j As this matter Is of great Import trtiice both to the shlpjiers and the railroads, the Commission earnestly asks that representatives of all trades j bodies Is* present bringing with them all data in connection with same. Af-j ter this Conference: a -date will be set for a hearing with representatives of both the railroads and trades bodies for a final adjustment of this lmi>or tant matter. The railroad commission has also sent son\e copies of application sheets and demurrage and storage rules and requests that each Item therein be caVeftilly gone over and notation made as to any proposed change or elimina tion.

Til# hanging of I<eo Wrttiik t?\ * *4,lt Georgia mo* U a very horri hie and wry disgraceful affair aud all ? folk* regret It and coudeinu It : but it only hIiowh that < iforxln ban her n ll ah a re of human nature. However guil ty he miKtit hare been, the victim now ha* the sympathy of all the WorM am his executioners are denouueed from out' end of the country t" the other. The mob H|,lrlt I* rife In ev?ry State In t lit* Union. CoiiMtantly you read in the DaiHtrn of the authorities savlug malefactor* from the dutch of. mobs even In New England, whore human nature In HUplx'Xfd to la* fashioned of letter clay than elsewhere, especially In the South, (tight now a brutal uror derer in HIIuoIh i* Incarcerated far from his bailiwick to e*cai?e mob ven geance. Innumbcntble like rase* rail lie elted In the old commonwealth <? Pennsylvania. . .. There la a reason for this mob spirit and It Ih not far to aeek. There are no mohH In England. Why? Because i>7 ja?r cent of the murderers in that country expiate their (Tinea on the gallows, In our glorious land of the free it la exactly the re verae? w4> execute but :i |>er cent of our murderers who are tried in courta of JuHtlce for their crimen. That la What makes your mob aplrlt and that la all that make* it. If the courts and Juries and |>eaee officers of the United States would sternly ia?r form their duties mobs In America would he aa rare aa mob* In iMiglanu. In England the Judge of the court nlCfcW the jury U? try a man charged with murder. In our country the counsel for the defense selects the Ju ry. In England there la a npteeoy trial, lit our country there are continuances until the witnesses are dead, or dis persed, or their memories are dimmed us to ' their knowledge of the crime. I'll bet the average murder trial in this country occurs more than a year after the commission of the crime. Hence it is u common saying that in the United States it is 'safer to kill a mail than to steal a horse That Is what makes your mob spirit. ine authorities are responsible. And then when you have once, as bv a miracle, convicted a murderer and the Judgment baa withstood the technicalities of half a dozen appeals, a sickly and morbid sentlmentalllty possesses most of the community and heaven and earth are invoked to save the malefactor's life. Everybody cries "Release unto llar addas," and our best men, and wo men will not be still until Baraddas is set scot-free. I don't have in mind the Frank case particularly. It Is the rule in every commowealth in our glorious union and one would conclude that with us liberty embraces the right to do murder with impunity. The mob is the child of the courts and owes its existence to the failure of tbe courts to execute the law. It Is true that Frank was convicted and sentenced but the whole country was aroused to clamor against that convic tion and his sentence was commuted. 1 am not dwelling on the Frank case but am thinking of hundreds of other cases, thousands of them, throughout the country. , Let it i>e understood that murder it- sure to be followed by punishment in tiiis country and murders will be as rare as they are now common./ An other reform would help. There should lu4 a law to restrict the sale of pistols. Nor is that. all. The manufacture of a pistol with a barrel less than 18 inches long should be loroidden. As I write this there are a million men in the United States going about with loaded pistols on their persons. Well, you take an egoist, who Js a fool, and 'full of vanity, put a pistol In bis i>ock et and make him drunk, and there is a mighty good chance that he will murder somebody or be killed before nightfall that day. Tens of millions of good people go up and down tlie ; earth cussing the barkeeper who makes that fellow drunk and gives him the inspiration to do murder, yet have not a word to' say of the pistol maker who supplies him with the instrument to do his bloody deed. / If you want an arm to protectvour self, a shotgun is better than jr-plstol, yet as I write there are millions of households in this country that have a 2 Istol as a part of the furniture, and, ally we read of the deadly work of the "unloaded" pistol. A pistol that you can conceal on your person was made for murder and its manufacture should be forbidden. I believe some of the States have lawij making pistol toting a felony ; but the law is a dead letter, and It is the dead letter law that makes your mob. All agree that law without lib erty Is better than liberty without law. The happy medium Is liberty regu lated by law. We have the liberty, plenty of it : what we lack is law. (Jive U8 that and mobs will go out of busi ness. "?Washington. August 'JS. - Going I'p! The constant increase of court' ex penditures is inexplicable to the bur dened ta\ -payers who have not. gone to the t rouble of seeking*- a solution based upon investigation. The trou ble primarily is traceable to t he" legis lative mill which grinds out an end less quantity of useless and often harmful laws. Such hodge-podge pro ducts of tin* legislative machinery leads directly to increased court business. Another .bad practice of legislative bo dies is that of paying more attention to; party politics and the spoils inci dent thereto than to the real business that should have consideration. There certainly should he some plan adopted whereby legislatures will attend to making laws 'and not to seeking spoils. The paper* Mate that one C. 1).
