the Attempts to secure clemency
Fraitk Harrell, one of the two 1
i. . undfcr conviction for the-slaying of
Major McLeary, will got very* far.
Harrell' may not have had as much
toTdo with the actual slaying of the
army officer as King; but he was no
doubt fuNy\p sympathy with all that
? waa done/lkpd his behavior following
the fGtil cnmSfcwas much more Jity
that of p thoroufcl^ guilty man, bent
: . on escaping the COTWaouonces of his
deod, than that of a A an who had
been fo^ce^klto the crime against I
his wl?jie?f and wanted to lafcc
Retentiop of Caesar's Head as a*
summer assembly ground for the
^Baptist denomination of the state ap
pears probable, as a result of a meet
V-r ing of the Baptist General Hoard of
South Carolina, held in Columbia last
?.7 Friday. The board voted to ask Fur
?; man university to postpone sale of
the mountain property until after the
meeting of the Baptist state conven
tion in Spartanburg in December
when a special Committee on the Bap
tist Summer Assembly will report
.recommendations regarding the possi
ble retention of the mountain resort,
and developing it for assembly pur-,
poses. The board also approved the
allocation, made by the ^CommitLee
of 85," at a recent meeting here, Lf
funds to be raised by the Baptists l>f
the state next year, the goal lir
which is $1,100,000. The nuieUwg'of

Church hc-i*, Bev. .J. Dean ( rain, Of
Columbia, president, a native of
Greenville county, presiding. The sale
of the Caesar's Head property has
already been negotiated, a Greenville
company to pay $550,000 for it, the
trustees; of Furman having arranged
?L. this. The sale, now, however, it is
? : ?
sajd, will be held up. pending action
by the state convention in December,
As is already well known to all
| reading )reop+e,-that in addition to
' _ lerous constitutional amendments
Ihvoted upon in the November
. lljl election, the ten-million dol
lar bond issue for education, is the
most important of all. Soma of the
state educational institutions are pre
Burning it Will carry, but as for that
.'jr. it is hard, to say at this time.
Winthrop is nslfing for a million and
4" a half of the proposed ten millions
in order to enlarge the plant so as
to accommodate 1,700 girls. It would
seem common justice that the state
provide a college education for all
who ask for it or none. The voters of
the state should know just exactly
what they are doing when they vote
this born! issue. It must be remem
bered that it costs the state from $200
to $500 ^ year for each student in
.. the state colleges, and with the in
..creased attendance provided for, it
> * will necessarily take hundreds of
remand a mo?e annually to provide
for tho^^rmuuta^iince of those institu
tions. It is safe 10 Hamate that the
annual increase in appropriation.- for
- state colleges will increase away
above the million mark, and s\:th the
interest on the bonds, the state will
f have to raise something like a million
I and a half to two millions more an
- nually for education. If these figures
are incorrect, we would like to have
a correction. South Carolina is in
...|ieed of more education, but at the
~SBine time the ability of the people
to stand"additional taxation should b<
Lgiven careful consideration. We are
told xevery now and then by . umo
officer, who draws a fair salary an J
possibly pays a poll tax, that South
. Carulinjf^doea not know what paying

Mttken War on Vagrant*.
Judge DeVore, pffftWing ?t Spar
tanburg court last week, in address
ing the grand jury laid great stress
on the laws a* to vagrancy. and^read
tfte following, Section 712, ode '>
South Carolina, to the jurors: ,
"All person* wandering from place
tg. placi*. without any known residence
or i criiding In any city, county 01
tQwu who have no visible means of
gaining an honest and reputa > e
means of livelihood, ?U suspiciou^
persona going about the t0J,!l
swapping and bartering horses (with
out a certificate of his or her good
character signed by the magistiate
of the county from which the said
person last came; likewise all persons
that acquire a livelihood by gambling
or horse racing, without any
visible means of gaining a livelihood;
all keepers of game tables, faro
banks, or other bank* whatsoever,
used for gambling known under any
other denomination; #lso all persons
who lead idle or disorderly lives; all
who knowingly harbor horse thieves,
and felons and thoxo that are known
to be of that character and descrip
tion; likewise all persons not follow
ing some handicraft, trade or profes
sion or not ('having some visible
meaiu of livelihood, who shall be able
to work, and occupying or being in
possession of some piece of land, shall
not cultivate such a quantity of it,
as shall be deemed by the magis
trate to be aecossary for the main
tenance of himself and his family;
also, all persons representing pub
licly for gain or reward without be
ing fully licensed and play, comedy
or tragedy, interlude or farce or nt-h*14
entertainment of the stage 01 any
rtiirt thereof; all fortune tellers for
fee or reward and all sturdy beggars
shall be deemed vagrants and upon
Vnviction before a magistrate shall
be flrwl- In a sum not exceeding one
thousand dollars or thirty days im
prisonment."
There is a vftde Difference.
"The country editor who would
brazenly print all that happens about
him would not last a week,' sage y
comments the Marion Star on the sub
ject of printing the news, contrasting
the big city paper with tfie country
paper. There is a great deal of truth
in this statement. Many a small town
editor lives, moves and has his being
solely because he knows what to keep
out of the paper. The difference be
tween the metropolitan paper and the
country paper is that the former is
purely "mechanics,' while the lattei
i*. or ought to be, just human, pos
sessing both heart and soul. As The
Star further puts it:
"A small town editor has more
'neighbors' than the editor of the
daily paper, and the conduct of his
business is more nearly a personal
matter. A man must live with his
neighbors, and to be trulv neighborly
one must be charitable and kindly.
Therefore, the country editor is not
permitted to print all that happens
about him?his neighborly duty to
his neighbor causes him to put aside
the nep and close his eyes.
