THURSDAY, JUNE 22ND, 1922 Funny how good luck just natural ly seems to dog the footsteps of a hustler. . . Majorities may not always be, right, but anyway they get the bene fit of the doubt. Another .good way to “save your face” is not to stick it into other people’s business. The burning issue in the approach ing municipal campaign will probab ly be “to park or not to park.” The man who does not think that his fellowman is capable of an un selfish action will bear watching. A lady friend says that a woman who can simulate indifference over her score at a card party could en tertain three beaus at once and keen them all from getting jealous. There are some compensations for the little man. For one thing he doesn't look so funny when he falls down on a slippery sidewalk—and then again he doesn't have so far to fall. No. Celestine, we do not believe that allowing cars to park on Main Ft reel is being done for the benefit of life and accident insurances com panies. but w« do believe that as long as the practice it allowed the < i Use ns of Barnwell will do well to have such insurance. Because uf hie "stand" hi the mat ter of parking cars on Mala Street, the editor of The People has been ac- ' used of tr>ing to booet hie bwsmeee by having aatuasohilee parked in froot of his office i Of coarse sack e charge is absurd oa its face, aa aay- body will realise who knows any thing at ail about the no tare of the newspaper badness We da plead guilty, however, to possessing a few drops of the ’'Bilik of humaa kmd ness" ia spite of oar eiperwncr with dellagaeat subscriber* and other fusaw of human nature That is our sole defense fer oar out rageous desire to see the death trap of Mam Stree caad e lees danger oua to pedestrians BASEBALL IN AlClftTA crime, considerable excitement pre vailed and It was generally mid that they would have been lynched had they been captured., Suppose they had been jrlnched, would their punishment have been severer than was their death in the electric chair? The victim of a lynching does n6t die a death so ignoble as does the victim of the law. The guilt of the man lynched is -never proved. He may be guilty, but the evidence of his guilt is not produced in an ofder- ^y and open way, so that it is certainly established. Many an in nocent person has been lynched, but the cases are exceedingly rare in which an innocent man l^ps been legally executed. ' Had these three men/been taken by a mob of, 500 and put to death by rthem, 500 persons under the law would have had blood on their hands. Five hundred persons would have shared in the damning guilt of what % the laws, which the people of South Carolina make, define as murder. The crime committed by the three men was peculiarly "cruel and horri ble. but the people of South Carolina will make little progress in protect ing a life if they shall punish only for murders of its description. Twenty or 50 men die by violence in South Carolina to one who is the victim of *a crime such as this one done in Lex ington county was. It is not^usual when two men fight and one sur vives that all the fault is with the dead man. So long ms juries of the 'people shall concede to individuals the privileges of settling their per sonal quarrels with deadly weapons, sarredness will not attach to human life in this state and it will not be secure. So long as a man having a grudge against K?s neighbor shall be excused by public opinion for carry ing a pistol in hie pocket, any and all married women will 'run a risk of suddenly being widowed and | any child or children at any moment j may be orphaned. Life is safe only in those countries where murder and manslaughter are swiftly and surely punished, where the laws of the people are carried oat by the people. Net until It shall be understood that a man who slays another, the taking of life not bring necessary though the pruvoratton j were very great, ia guilty and should be punished, will South Carolina he justified Ml reMtag itself a civilised roaunusiwealth The man who la grievously insulted, or whose family la insulted, can net kill hie enemy without ruth of bmm heinous and infamous crime aad the cnaae »s a- gainst all the people, eat solely a- gainst the victim.—The State* “PATINO THE PIPER" umuamsMuae Goddess of New York’s Luring Lightal Laughing with her carmine lips while pleasure-mad worshippers leap to the-devil's tunes! t She bad no m>u1, but the glowing affair* of her heart dance amid the gold and shimmering silks .of this blood-tingling romance.

My pains were terrific. I thought I would die. The bexnng-down pains were actually so seme I could not stand the pressure of my hands on the lower part of my stomach . .. limply felt as if Uie was for but a short time. My husband waa worried... One evening, while read ing the Birthday Alma nac, he came across a case similar to mine, and went straight for some Card id for me to try. TAKE CARDUI The Woman’s Tonic GREATEST Of ALL PMtlTtlPL AYB COMING In rommrnting Friday morning on th« riot at s ball cam* in Charlotte last week, when Olin Pemtt. of the ( ohuubia. club, hurled a bottle into the yranj itand and broke a child's arm. The Augusta Chronicle con cluded a short editorial as follows: ~Th* Chronicle is very glad that Au gusta ia free—and is to be kept free—from unseemly rows of this kind.” The same afternoon a fight was staged at the ball park in the (<«orgia city l>etween the umpire and a visiting player. Quite a number of Barnwell baseball fans go to Au gusta every summer for the sole pur pose of seeing the league teams in action. Several were there last week and some of them claim that it * in ia rare thing to see a game that city that is not marred by wrangling of some -description. We have heard 8 former member of a South Atlantic League club say that F urliir * ife with fidelit - v and _ chann he would rather play in any town in the circuit than Augusta for the rea son that the players were “ragged” unmercifully by the Augusta fans, especially if the home team was los ing. All of which does not help our friends across the Savannah. We hope that The Chronicle is right when it says “that Augusta is . .. to be kept free from unseemly rows”— from now on, anyway.' EXECUTIONS FOR MURDER which make his work something, a- part from alf other forms of dramat ic and pictorial entertainment. Its great punch tomes after the former story would ordinarily germinate and is the greatest scene ever con ceived in the theatre. A PAINFUL ACCIDENT Yesterday morning three young white men who had been convicted of an atrocious murder were electrocut- with law. They had had every op portunity to prove their innocence. They were given a fair trial and the aaaistance of counaal in preaenting their defense. Indeed, criticism was uttered that they ware given more than a fair chance, that ia, that un- uaceaeary delays were interposed after their coarirtfen, which #re- ieugud their livea. lhatr D. W Griffith's wonder spectacle. ’‘Way Down East.** which cons to the Vamp Theatre Sat. July 1st, s assured a wonderful reception from the hearty response that the Manager has evidenced from his patrons. No theatrical attraction of the year has created -the stir that has followed since the opening presenta tion of this production at the 44th Street Theatre in New York City. It crowded that theatre twice daily from the start and wa * ff> v *n such unstinted praise that it has been ac claimed the greatest picture of all times. “Way Down East” as you know was a play by Lottie Blair Park -r which Joseph R. Gi^mei helped ad apt to the stage and enjoyed un usual popularity for over a decade upon the regular stage. D. W. Grif fith has taken this basic story and by his new art form which presents a combination of music, drama and motion pictures, has produced a New classic. It -pictures England which cannot be approached under any other ; circumstances. To this absorbing tale of love and lovers Mr. Griffith has given it those touches Wiaihrup f allege SCHOLARSHIP AND ENTRANCE EXAMINATION.
