We require the name and address of the writer in every case. 5 No article which is defamatory or I offensively personal can find place in \ our columns at any price, and we are q not responsible for the opinions ex- . pressed in any communication. ? I Thursday, October 6,1910. t = h We have received from the Green- I wood Index a nice booklet adver- s tising the resources and advantages of h * that flourishing and rapidly growing s city. The book contains a number af t half-tone cuts illustrating views of the business streets and some handsome residences. The facts are set forth in an attractive manner, and the publication ought to result in much good P tv ' \ to Greenwood. - 1 e We take very little stock in what the Horry man says about Senator g Tillman having lost his hold on South Carolina politics, but we be- g lieve the Senator can never be a 0 candidate again, this being the result of his health. We saw the s Senator in Columbia only a couple f( of months ago, and in our opinion ^ he will never recover sufficiently to a * take part in the deliberations of the ^ Senate again or for any arduous pud- c lie duties whatever. We may be mis- t] taken, but he seemed to us to be in 0 very poor health. n b At the general election next month c a constitutional amendment is to be j s voted on, which provides for an ade ditional justice for the State Supreme Court. This additional justice may be needed, but we do not think so. ? South Carolina has set a rapid pace " n in additional offices during the past a few years, and expenses are continually growing. If there ever was a ^ ? time when retrenchment and reform n was needed in matters of State that time is now. The people who pay the taxes and bear the burden of , II government, will, we believe, be opposed to any increased expenditure i- for the public service, unless it is ^ ^.s , a necessary, and with the information Ci we have, an additional justice is not necessary. Our acfvice is to vote * <J against the amendment. c Nothing doing about that circular t letter yet, so far as we can hear. We s' are waiting patiently, however, for something to be done before stating as a fact that all this talk and hurrah a J about having the right man and a detective going around was all bluff, t: and done for political effect. The * name of a prominent citizen of Bam- 0 berg was connected, by insinuation 0 and innuendo, with the issuing of 0 this circular letter, and while everybody around here knows he had n nothing to do with it, still it was an 12 outrage to do all this talking before the primary and then let things drop. Why, they even said they had the right man and an arrest would be c made right after the primary. The primary is over, but no arrest has a, been made and the whole matter > seems to have dropped out of exist- S X o ence. e Babe tftfn ge<l While Swinging. | v ~ 1 Statesboro, Ga., Oct. 1.?The little i] child of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Banks, I who live with the latter's parents, t Mr. and Mrs. Jim Brennen, 6 miles t from Statesboro, was hanged in a E swing yesterday morning. n The little one was about two years t old, and was playing around the swing with its mother. The mother a went into the house, leaving the g child alone, and when she returned t she was greeted by the horrible sight i: a-.. of her little one hanging from the t swing with life almost extinct. t Grabbing the child from the swing, she endeavored to get breath into a its body, but after a few gasps it c died. li -* 1 It is sad to contemplate the num ber of men who are willing to go without food and clothing in order that they may contribute to the prosperity of the saloon-keeper. c A MACHINISTS IRON NERVE. Vrm Crushed, Liljerates Member With One Hand. Florence, October 3.?Mr. Wichirt, a machinist at the Bannockburn Lumber Company's plant, at Banlockburn, near here, had his arm aught in a planer Friday and he ,vas badly injured, in fact, his hand lad to be amputated, after being ;rousrht to the Florence Infirmary. It is stated that with his arm rround to pieces in the planer that le had the courage to reach out. se:ure a wrench and take the machine ipart sufficiently to get his arm out )f the jaws of the machine. At last accounts to-day the young nan was getting along nicely. Will Not Resign Soon. The following is from the Colum;ia Record, of recent issue: James F. Byrnes, nominated in the >rimary of September 13 to succeed he Hon. James O'Hanlon Patterson is congressman from the second disrict, will not resign his position as olicitor of the second judicial circuit it any date in the near future. It is his present intention to reuain Solicitor as long as it may renain practicable to do so. "I will tick it out for some time yet," Mr. Jyrnes is said to have declared. Vhether he would resign in time for xovernor Ansel to have the appointng of a man for the unexpired por- ! ion of his term, which has nearly < wo years to run, or will withhold i lis resignation until after the next I )emocratic nominee, C. L. Blease, hall have been seated as governor, < ie has not said. It is understood i ix or seven candidates for the posi- 1 ion are already being groomed. < 1 Cubans Won't Work. < 1 Havana, Oct. 3.?With the ap- < roach of the elections on November ] , the second held by a Cuban gov- j rnment without American supervis- < >n?there has been perceptible a rowing hope that what remains of he campaign and the electoral truggle itself may be passed with- j ut serious disorders. When the campaign opened last ummer, there existed a general eeling of despondency in regard to he prospect of a peaceful election, nd this feeling was intensified as J he campaign progressed by the ' ' - ? _ T_ i T J. ? ^ ontinuation 01 me cmsin uet?ecu he Miguelists and Zayista factions f the liberal party and the fre- ^ uency with which political meetings roke up amid fierce fighting. Reently, however, there has been a . ubsidence of excitement, and apparntlv a disposition of the warring ( actions to get together. Another thing that seems to make 3r peace is the apparent determiation of the Conservatives not to ttempt to put out their full strength j t a by-election at which only half j he members of the lower house and ? lunicipal officers are chosen, but to } lake a determined fight for victory , t the presidential elections to be : eld in 1912. A report recently isued by General Armando Rivas, ^ hief of police of Havana, shows a ? eplorable condition of affairs in the j apital. ( So great has been the increase f idleness and mendicancy since the j stablishment of the national lottery , hat General Rivas declares that Dme steps must be taken to correct ( he evil. I General Rivas says that he finds j n increase and most alarming in- ? isposition to perform any unsatis- ^ actorv labor law which results large- , j from the prevailing passion for j ffice hunting which effects Cubans f all classes. While this rush for ffices is going on General Rivas ays there is a constant unsatisfied emand for skilled workmen and for . ibor of all kinds. Kent on Lynching Xegro. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 3.?A speial from Andalusia, Ala., says: "A negro convict is being held by mob at the lower stockade of the lenderson Lumber Company, near , amford. and will probably be lynch- . d before midnight for assaulting , nd muredering the young wife of a .iiite farmer living near the camp, 'he crime is one of the most revolttig that ever occurred in this county. , t was committed in the middle of ' he afternoon. The convict was cap- , ured on the spot by G. 0. Waiter and , Idgar Xix, who were in the woods earby at the time, and brought by , hem to Samford. . . "On their way from the camp on n engine, the negro jumped to the round and they shot him through he arms and caught him again, comng on to Samford with him where ' hey delivered him to the officers and ; he mob took him from the officers. ( "The young woman was at home l lone, when the negro, whose name ould not be learned approached her touse, assaulted her, and when she 1 iegan screaming seized some blunt nstrument and knocked her in the lead. She lived about an hour. The self centered man finds no 1 ompany so agreeable as. his own. 1 NEGRO NOW IN JAIL. Surrenders Himself to Sheriff 011 i Promise of Protection. Greenville, Oct. 3.?After being searched for by a posse of from 30 i...\ .1,, r>- ^11 A^.. o.,,, I IU I VV llAtrna uiiiius un ua* ouir | day, Will Parks, who is claimed to j have knocked down a white woman] Saturday night, was located by Sher-1 iff Poole to-day and brought to the j county jail. Sentiment was running! high against the negro, but things' have quieted down considerably and no further trouble is anticipated. Have a Fight. The difficulty occurred Saturday night in the neighborhood of the Grisham place, near Pelham. Parks and a white man, John Wade, had been in Greenville during the afternoon and were returning together to their homes. It appears that both had been drinking to some extent and Wade asked the negro to pay him back $3 or $4 which he loaned him. Later he borrowed the negro's knife, as the story runs, and demanded the money, whereupon the difficulty between the two men took place, i ney naa oy mis nme reacnea a spot near the home of Wade and Mrs. J. E. Perry, a sister of Wade, ran out to part the combatants. It is claimed that when she came up the negro knocked her down. Crowd Collects. This report was spread over the section and Sunday morning a crowd of about 50, which later during the day increased to about 100 men, began looking for the negro. Sheriff Poole went out to the neighborhood during the day, but was unable to find the negro and he returned home late Sunday night. To-day he received a telephone message saying that the negro was then at the house of his brother-in-law, between Greenrille and Mauldin, and would surrender under promise of protection. He hastened to the place in his buggy ind found the negro, who surrendered without making any resisience. Unintentional Act. Parks was brought to the city md lodged in jail.

Ti Bullion and Bills Stolen. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 3.?Gold bulion and Canadian and United States iank notes aggregating many thous- er md dollars were stolen from the hs nail room of the steamer City of Se- na ittle from Skaguay, Alaska, last light 1S T. Buckley, sailor mess boy on the ca ,-essel, on whom eight gold bricks md a large number of notes were kl 'ound, was arrested as soon as the pi ZJity of Seattle arrived to-day. The robbery was discovered to-day co iy Mail Clerk Decatur as the steamship was nearing Seattle. First Officer Thomas Johnson dis- pI ;overed the gold bullion on the mess at ioy, and after a search, he found a y,( arge number of bank notes wrapped iround the boy's legs. An examina- in :ion of the mail room disclosed that Umost every registered parcel on c0 :oard had been robbed. m' da Restores Privileges. - - - ui West Point, X. Y., Oct. Z.?By or- ler of Gen. Thomas H. Barry, super- ca ntendent of the United States Mili- t-( :ary academy, all privileges which ^ vere withdrawn a week ago after the 'silence given Capt.

That would come iK later, after due consideration of the findings. th m Negro Shot by Another. St. Matthews, Oct. 3.?Martin fii Jones and Isaiah Brown, two ne- sa ?roes. members of Mt.
