Of all the nonsense with which this
unoffending state has been lately afflicted
that about Governor Johnston's
humble origin and struggle to obtain
a start la the most ridiculous.
Now the plain truth la that South
Carolina haw had four or five governors
wince 1896 who had beginnings
no easier than Mr. Johuatou'a. Governor
Ansel, for exumple, waw the son
of a German immigrant, but we do
not nu.all thai juypj". f?*j eHpItftMzed it.
He had too iyvith good aenae.
The late Gov^y^or McHweeney was
a printer boy here in Charleston,
Governor llobert A. Cooper was the
won of u small farmer (fine citizen
he wuh) in i^aurena and probably had
harder going than Mr. Johnston-? for
he came to manhood in the middle
of the nineties when to get hold of a
dollar called for five times the toil
and uucrlflce that they did when Mr.
Johnston was working his way
through college. Others could be mentioned.
United States Senator Byrnes was
an office boy in Charleston and got
nto college education. There are otherw
holding high posts who were equally
poor?but they do not roar about
it from the housetops. It is not important.
"Before the War," the Confederate
war, it was the same way. No man
in South Carolina began nearer the
bottom, from the poverty point of
view, or mounted higher in the life
of the republic, thun Ganglion Cheves
who came to Charleston from Abbeville.
George McDuffie was a country
boy in Georgia. Christopher G. Mema
tningor, secretary of the treasury of
the Confederacy and one of the founders
of Charleston's public school system,
waw the won of a pooor gen-tleman
and was brought up in the Charleston
orphan house.
.lames H. Hammond, governor, senator
and in statecraft almost without
a peer, came from a brilliant family,
unci his father was a "Yankee schoolteacher"
In Newberry county.
Major General and later Associate
Justice Samuel McOowan was the son
of an Irish immigrant who probably
had less to begin with than Mr. Johnston's
father had?he lpade money
farming and sent his sons to college.
Many prominent South Carolinians
have been horn to good fortune, butt
hundreds of poor hoys have had their
chance and gained high position in '
this state, where talent and character
have1 always had recognition.
When-one hears of politicians boasting
of their "hard struggles" one may
sot it down that they ure lamentably
ignorant of the history of their state
or that they are out to pull' the wool
over ignoramuses.
Sensible men have more interesting
things to discuss and are thinking
less about themselves.?Charleston

' Bandit
Out&tot By
Determined Civilian
Arab, Ala., Jan. 1.?A bank bandit
lay dead today, the victim of a fastmovlhg
and straight-shooting .civilianThe
robber, named by Sheriff O. D.
Taylor as Bill Abbney of the Brindley
Mountain region, entered and seized
$f?G0 at the point of a pistol, escaping
from the building amid an exchange
of shots with Assistant ('ashler Kirby
Howard.
The shooting and a burglar alarm
wore heard by A. R. Ingram, 31, who
was in a nearby drug store. Ho gave
chase as Abney ran by the store and j
brought the fleeing bandit to bay j
about a quarter of a mile outside the ,
town.
Guns of both men cracked out and '
after a flurry of ten or a dozen shots ,
the robber fell mortally wounded wt.lv,
two bullets in his body. He died a
few minutes later?* Ingram was unhurt.
Speaker Byrnes, of the house of representatives,
back in Washington from
a junket, to the Philippine- Islands,
predicts that both the senate and
house will dispose of the cash soldier
bonus issue by February 1. He would
not predict its passage over a presidential
veto, however.

Convictions High
In Fifth Circuit
According to the report of the! work
of the Fifth Judicial circuit solicitor,
S pig nor, made to the attorney
general embracing the year June,
1934, through June, 1935, Mr. Hpigner

courts secured a total of 290 convictions
with only two persons being acquitted.
Or the total convictions 234 were. "J
secured in Kichland county and 50 in
KerBhaw county. The number of indictments
handled by the solicitor was "
unusually large for both counties for
this period, The largest total was 74
for the January, 1935, term of general
sessions court at Columbia.
The above figures do not Include .J
the Richland September criminal court
nor the October and December courts ..i
in Kershaw, these sessions coming on ^
next year's record. In the September, ?
1935, court in Richland probably the *
largest docket on record faced the solicitor
due to the new state liquor law
which w,as passed by the legislature. ;
During the time embraced in the report
there were 11 murder trials in Kichlaiul
county and none in Kershaw *
county.* ? r-. . ?
Charges handled by Solicitor Spigner,ranged
