THE BISHOP CANNON CASK The verdict of a jury in favor of Bishop Cannon and his secretary, Miss Burroughs, was no surprise. Amid all the smoke, there was. in our judgment, some fire, but it was hard to prove. There was a mixture of guilt and petty spite. Tinkhana, a narrow, bitter, New England Congressman. wet teat of the wets, set fire to the stubble. Rotten politics figured heavily. For this reason, we do r.?>t cry over the verdict. Our eyes, however, are r.ot closed to the fact that he should vacate, or be unfrocked, as Bishop of his church. That he patronized bucket shops, was proven. There are grave doubts about his appropriating all the campaign funds donated, in a legitimate way. An unusually able man, there is too much suspicion attached to his garments. His day of usefulness in the church, as leader, has passed. If ever really consecrated to his sacred cause, it has been dimmed and beam ire hod by conduct unbecoming a Bishop. He is now swimming and breathing with "leaden fins."?-Calhoun Times. * . _ In South Carolina 17 towns and other municipalities have defaulted on their funded defbt, the same number as in South I>akota, and these two states are exactly in the middle of the long h^t, of defaults. Florida, with 32-1 and North Carolina with 2?>4, head th?* list, while New Hampshire, Wrm-Pt nod Rhode Island have none, and Maine and Massachusetts have only one each, and Connecticut has two. Ohio is th.ird from the top. with l'O. and the W of Texas are in area as large as a half dozen other states. The cause of the defaults is spending too much borrowed money a few years ago When Police Chief W. A. King, of Lunar, in Darlington county, arrested young Atkinson for speeding reck-1 lessly through town, the young man's father, Bill Atkinson, shot at the chief and hit in the shoulder W. E. Carter, a citizen with the officer. The officer at one- shot the elder Atkinson in the neck killing him almost instantly. Ten anti-crime bills, including one to permit payment of heavy rewards for public enemies, were whipped through the house on Saturday in record time and speeded or. towards becoming the laws of the land. brjort r* tnrixi ?iu rrf hft-'( V dm." .MAY ^ 7- Submarine sinks 'he Lu?itania. 1,195 die. 1915. t>v ? ?

This waa done in the face of strong opposition, ahd in spite of assertions that the low rates charged by the railroada are causing motor buses to lose money. It took the railroads a long time to realise the fact that their rates would have to be lowered drastically to meet the competition of tJ>? buses, which are getting nearly all ox the local travel and a gdod part of long distance trips, but finally the , wot m turned, and it is now the buses that are suffering. There has been talk of an agreement on- * r^te satisfactory to both, but a conclusion has not been reached, i. - u In addition to the position of assistant secretary of agriculture, now held by Prof. Rexford G. TugweU, the present congress has created the position of undersecretary. A salary, of $10,000 per annum is provided for the latter place, whereas the former pays two thouaand dollars less. To fill the new place the president has nominated Tugwell, who is one of the brain trusters, and decided opposition to confirmation has been manifested by Senator E. D. Smith, who says that he wants "a real dirt farmer in the place." The senator will have considerable difficulty in making good in his contention unless he can bring forth some actual grounds of charges against the appointee. t ? News items have recently gone forth regarding an investigation to be conducted concerning the authority for debarring colored peop.e from being served in the restaurant attached to the na^bnal house of rep| resentatives. The matter was sue I cossfully pressed by Oscar DePriest, ; the negro congressman from Ohica1 go. and he was actively supported by 1 the Republican membership. So far i as concerns the resolution for investigation, it was also approved by | about half of the Democratic mem' bers, who are from other than southI ern states. Previously the negroes in general had been regarded so far as voting is concerned the exclusive property of the Republican party, but two years ago they broke away very extensively. Since the migration after the World War <rf colored folks to eastern and north-central states they hold considerable voting power in some localities, and any congressman would have had difficulty in justifying a vote against a I resolution merely calling for an in! vestigation such a3 demanded. It was deemed a shrewd political mo\ c embarrass the Democrats and to alienate from them at least some of the negroes who voted Democratic in 1.I9-T2. Dt-Pf iest. the only negro in congress, was selected as the most appropriate member to press the matter. The Democrats, in an overwhelming majority, will hand,e the situation as smoothly a-s possible. ? # ! There is another case in which the | color question has arisen, in a way. 1 The Democrats have been giving the negroes in Washington about as much patronage as tho Republicans .ever did. For long period there ! has been one colored man on the municipal court bench, and the term of ; the occupant has expired. This court is similar to that of a magistrate in South Carolina in civil cases, but has more extended jurisdiction. The ; Democratic authorities propose another negro, who is Aligned with the ! party and a great howl has gone op. That is always the case when a Republican is about to lose his job. Every imaginable plea is pressed, regardless of the fact that when the | Republicans came into power in national atTa.-s, they made as clean a sweep as possible in positions not . red undo" civil -t-.'.ce regula a t a * * w r. * : r ... . - . v-> P> rr.

If such lawlessness keep# up, what is to become of our country t So for as South Carolina is concerned a refreshing item of news is that during the term of the criminal Court which closed in Columbia last week not a single verdict of acquittal j was rendered. In a large number of cases handled pleas of guilty were! entered, and M cases went on the re- ! cords as convictions. That ought to! help a good deal if the governor does not get too active with pardons.. The courageous fight by a handful of Confederate soldiers against Sherman's army was commemorated at Rivers Bridge, in Bamberg county, with Congressman Fulmar making the principal address, and the Maine band from Ferris Island playing. In the skirmish, 1,200 Confederate# held the bridge for more than a day against 22,000 of Sherman's men. TIN Dag Hit Ow? BMajr Yet through no fault of hit own. The blame fslb upon hie owner. He who allows his do* to become a nab eanoe to hie neighbors, that is, permits him to tramp over another's garden or flower bed or frighten children or chase chickens or start a Aght with another dog, is inevitably creating a prejudice against dogs in general. There are already enough people who do not like dogs, and even those who do, do not like to have one belonging to someone else become a nuisance to them. The owner of a dog should care enough for him to keep him under proper restraint. Dogs differ as people do. Ther<Q are those who almost never leava the home premises, never annoy strangers, never keep the neighbors awake by barking. Then there is the reamer, the dog nearly always ready for a Aght, the dog that makes nights hideous by baying at the moon or something not so far away. Think of the two Boston terriers : which last month attacked a little four-year-old child and killed her! Thousands of people will remember that against every $og they see and never have a good word to say of any of the species. Don't bt your dog bfccome a nuisance or, by your own fault, an enemy of his kind. And one word more. Don't buy dogs at wayside places or dog shops ? unlets yon know the Mller to be thoroughly trustworthy and responsible parson. , Wo sro constantly having doga " purchased at soch places i brought to usdftesscdj sftea?sold \ whan coining dogu with distemper, ( afflicted with rickets or other trou- j bios.
