South Carolin^and central South
Carolina in partWilUr, was given a
jreat boost Saturday as a horsetraining
center yvhen Calvalcade, a
Columbia trained horae won the. fa rued
and much coveted Kentucky derhy
at Churchill Downs near Louisville.
Camden trained steeplechasers have
also made their mark this year aa
well as previous yeara in the various
hugt meets throughout the country.
Camden and Columbia's fame got on
the big news-gathering agenclea often
this year and it ia up to the en- j
tire citizenry oX this state to capitalize
on this publicity. Both citiea
are located in the mid-eolith wHh I
mild climate and a aoll which experienced
trainera are quick to recognize,
but you will have to get them
here. Thia newspaper expeeta to
have more to oay along thia line before
the training season opens for
ik" xt year?giving some records
bora?* trained in this atato .havo
made. All thh W* aports magazines
have carried page after page of pictures
and stories relating to Camden
and its, famed Carolina Oup races
which have been read by thousands
who are Interested in racing.
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

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.

granted permission to 0>e railroad?
in the outheaat to continue for ?i*
months longer after May 31 the rata
of 1 1-2 cents a mile for travel in
<Uy' coaches and three cents a mile in
sleeping and parlor cars. 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,

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.

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

A few days ago in reporting a
bank robbery in an Ohio town, a
preaa dispatch stated that Mit was the
seventh bank robbery in Ohio in 13
days." 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

In sentencing a bootlegger to life
for murder, Judge> Hayne F. Rice
said: "You are not slope /CUpotfiHble
for the death of the man y^n'killed. .
You couldn't have kept your business,
up if citixens of Columbia had not
placed their money in your hands.
Everybody must admit your business 1
would have dried up if these people
hadn't bought your whiskey. Many t
of them are perhaps good citisens and ;
some of them church' member*. Part
of the responsibility for this crime
must rest upor^thein. They can notj
