JUNE 19. 1913. A Columbia woman, writing to The State Saturday morning, strikes the nail squarely on the head when the com pares the recent incident of s negro riding in a Pullman car with the prac tice of Columbia merchants in allowing members of that race to try on expen sive clothing and hats that are after wards, nine timet out of ten, told to whites. She cited the instance of a lady who had selected a hat in one of the large department stores and was greatly surprised upon walking into the aaillincry department to find the hat upoa the head of “a ragged, very filthy wench who carried a pan under her arm, the pan being covered with a greasy newspaper " This practice, no doubt, prevails in every town in the We are inconsistent Why raise, as ke say*, s tempest in a teacup over a negro riding in a Pullman when we allow our womenfolks to run chance* of catching unmentionable dia- aaaaa by wsaring clothing that has been contaminated by negroes who are notoriously unclean* In the case men tioned shove, the writer said that the shop in question lost an old and sub stantial customer forever When it to drawing the color line it all de- upon whose bull is being gored That was a well deserved mark of respect paid Capt William E. Goniales, editor of The Slate, when President Wilson nominated him to be envoy ex- traordiaay and minister plenipotentiary to Cuba last week Capt Gonzales is of Cuban extraction and is, therefore, peculiarly well fitted to represent the United States in that country Secre tary of State William Jennings Bryan had this to say of him: “Mr. Gonzales has long been identified with journa lism in his State and is a progressive of long standing. No better selection could possibly have been made." Capt. Gonzales was an ardent Wilson man in the convention that nominated candidates for President and Vice-Pre sident last year, and was largely instru mental in making his nomination as sured. The governor of South Carolina blames the non-enforcement of the dis pensary law on the Webb Act, and yet one of the three Union county convicts paroled by him last Friday was con victed in February of this year of vio lating the dispensary law and sentenced to pay a fine of 1500 or serve 12 months. On May 19th Gov. Blease commuted this sentence to a fine of $100 or 12 months. Is any comment necessary? It Is propoued to have petieata at the Morris Plains State Hospital for the In sane, at Morristown, N. J., issue a Weekly newspaper. In the opinions of many who have been brought into the ihpelight on account of their misdeeds there are< lot of newspapers in this and other States whose editors are crazy. The principal difference between the libel suit of T. R and those brought by some men in this State is that Teddy seemingly, wanted, only vindication, while the libeled 6f South Carolina think that they see a bhance for some easy money. \ If Editor DeCamp gets as much ad vertising out of his libel suit as did Edi tor Newett—who, by the wa^, only thought tha the knew it--it will be money well spent. “For Higher Ethics Among Attor neys.”—Headlirtd. And some who have occasion to go to court are thank- that it isn’t higher fees. The mercury and the price of “spuds” took a drop last week, but aside from that everything else is still “up, up in the air.” Friday, the 13th, 1913, was the jinx that got the Barnwell baseball team’s “goat” at Springfield last week. The superstitious have one consola tion—there will be no more Fridays, the 13th, to occur in 1913. Why not advertise this section as a summer resort?

Prof. W. K. Tate, State Supervisor of Rural Schools, was in Barnwell Friday. He motored over to Hilda with Super intendent Crouch and delivered an illustrated lecture there Saturday night. Prof. Tate showed a number of views taken abroad and his audience was highly entertained and delighted. Several baseball fans went over from Barnwell and Williston to see the game between the local team and the Spring- field-Wagener-North-Norway-et al. ag gregation Friday. The consensus of opinion was that the “heady” work of “his umps” materially lessened Barn- weH’s chances to score a number of times. (Advertfcemeat.)
