THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1913. “W. Told You So." What has become of those wise-acres who, in inference to the breaking up of blind Vigers of Barnwell, said “it couldn’t ® done?” Mayor h. Emile Harley has been in office than a month, yet in that short time he has proceeded against these persisent law-breakers so aggres sively that two of them at least have found it unprofitable to sell intoxicating liquors within the incorporate limits of the town. It took backbone, of course, to proceed against them in the face of what woe apparently a majority tn favor of the ‘‘blinds,” but the enforcement of the laws was the platform upon which Mr. Harley made his race and his friends are glad to see that he is so handsome ly vindicating the confidence that they placed in him by making his election <d. • r ^iave contended all along that per 0> ^effort would bring resuita—that of t tigers were raided once a week wtheraad the caaes preased against ^>at they would find the game s tr ooe and quit. It is mighty hard r.raia from saying, "We told you it i m Bwt Mayor Hariey should not rest on Mo laurels The two that have quit are eot the oaly ooeo Efforts should be made to put the whole bunch out of tomtaeat Let's repeat the performance •very week until they are driven from the town tad county. la the aseaatime, would it not be s good Idee te enforce the vagrancy law'* The farmer's can very well use the idle wbe loaf on the streets with no it means of support. While the beiag done, let It be made com- Caach Law. The incident of a negro riding in s Pullman car in this State, as reported by John 0. Richards, railroad cotnnns- > Mober, and the decision of the attorney general that he has no power to prose cute the Pullman Company, has excited considerable newspaper comment. It is said that a number of able lawyers are of the opinion that the Southern States that have separate coach laws are in position to protect themselves without any set of Congress. A decis- . ion of the Supreme Court of Mississippi is cited. A white woman of that State was given a verdict of $15,000, later re duced to $2,000, because the railroad company refused to eject three negroes from a sleeping car in which^ she was riding. The court held that if negroes are to ride in sleeping cars in Missis sippi that they must be furnished with separate coaches. Another instance is cited in the New berry Observer in which an old negro body servant of Governor Tillman was forced to leave the coach in which his master was riding and get into the car reserved for negroes when the train crossed the borders of a state that had the “Jim Crow” law. Doubtless Attorney General Peeples knows what he is talking about, but in view of the above incidents it might be well for the railroad commission to go deeper into the matter and get it finally settled. No self-respecting white man or woman in thisState “hankers” about riding with negroes—not if they can kelp themselves, anyway. at the post office at Barnwell, 8. C., aa secood-claaa matter. & MJHHW, Editor ood Proprietor al days hi regard to the hardship that the May term of Court works on them. Coming as it does st an extremely busy season of the year, they feel that both Judge and lawyer should push the busi ness of the Court as much as possible so that they (the farmers) may return to their work. It looks to them that there is much valuable time wasted needlessly. Last year, it is said, there were twelve weeks of Court, an average of one week out of each month. It does appear to the average layman that the proper preparation of cases before hand and the cutting out of useless questions on the part of examining lawyers would expedite the trial of cases. There was once a Judge in Cnicago who, after hearing the case stated, al lowed just so much time for its trial and held opposing counsel to that time limit. It is said that he disposed of more cases than three ordinary judges. It is quite true that “the mills of the gods grind slowly.” Apparently in this county they grind exceedingly slow. Brother Knight, of the Bamberg Herald, is not meeting with much en couragement in his proposed plan of separating the editors from their rail road passes. So long as it isn’t against the law for the said editors to accept transportation in exchange for adver tising and so long as they are satisfied with the present arrangement, we do not see where Editor Knight has any kick coming. He once rode on a pass, and The Orangeburg Times and Demo crat wants to know if he will answer questions in regard to how, when and why he quit using it.

Rexie Birt, who received hit early training in the “art preservative” in The People office, is now connected with The Jasper Herald. He accepted a position with the Hampton Guardian about two and a half years ago, later opening up a job pnnting office m that town. It is understood thst he will move his machinery and other equip ment to Kidgeland. Mr. Dirt’s Barnwell County fnends wish him success in his new field. Notice of Ejection.
