Thursday, May 18,1911.
The reputation of Columbia as a
square meal town has recently received
a severe jolt. j
The Branchville Journal has just
I closed a subscription contest, and j
now its editor announces that he is
going to leave and turn the paper
over to others.
The United States Supreme Court
has ordered the Standard Oil Company
to dissolve, holding that the
company is a monopoly in restraint
of trade, and the company says it
will obey the decree. Wonder if it
means cheaper kerosene and gasoline?
,
Mr. E. H. Rawl, who has had
charge of the Branchville Journal
for the past year or so, announced
last week that he would go elsewhere.
It was not stated where he
was going nor who would continue
tie Journal, although he said the
PR; paper would be continued.
_ Cole L. Blease can be likened to
> the national Democratic party, or at
least what was its former reputation,
t for he is sure to do the wrong thing
& at the right time and thus disap1
point his friends and please his enemies.
His order of removal of some
negro prisoners from the Florence
v jail to the penitentiary last week
made him ridiculous, and his Florg&l&i
ence friends are very sore over his
Hp; alction.
Kss>&;;
We have no disposition to argue
ft-: the question of "patent service" with
P our good friend, the Aiken Sentinel.
>' If the service suits their readers why
P V\ it's all right. But, if the Sentinel
p'v; will pardon us, we would call its at|
/ tention to the fact that very few inp
fluentiaEand prosperous newspapers
m of the State use "ready print" pages.
This it seems should be sufficient
proof that subscribers as a rule like
all home print best.
Since our article of last week in
reference to the two sessions a day
plan which is likely to be adopted at
the Bamberg graded school next
'ip year, several patrons of the school
have told us that they were opposed
P- to any change from the present sys?.:
. , tem. In fact we have not found but
one patron who was not opposed to
two sessions a day, and this man did
not care much either way. Surely
the school authorities will not put in
Hi force a plan which a majority of the
patrons of the school do not approve
of. We do not believe they will.

TEAM GOES OVER CLIFF.
gpP -
Veteran Stage Driver Goes to His
Death With Team.
.
Jack Louden, one of the last of
the old time stage drivers, was fatally
injured Sunday at Hazo Hill on
the Crescent county road, fifteen
miles from Grant's Pass, Oregon,
while driving a four-horse team
whirh hp_d become frightened.
Knowing that he was approaching a
high cliff and sharp curve, Louden
drew his revolver and shot one of
the leaders dead in its tracks. This
failed to stop the team, however,
which dragged the dead horse several
yards over the embankment.
Louden was thrown headlong, landing
on his head and fracturing his
skull. Louden's two passengers
jumped from the stage and escaped
with slight injuries.
Get in the contest early and work
late. Some one will win. Why not
you?
GREENWOOD RURAL POLICE.
Legality of Appointment New Before
Supreme Court.
Columbia, May 15.?Involving the
question of appointment of rural policemen
for Greenwood county, under
a special Act, the supreme court today
heard arguments in the rule to
show cause why the salaries of two
rural policemen for that county
should not be paid. The sole question
of general interest in the whole
matter is whether it was necessary
for the men to be named upon thej
recommendation of the delegation,
owing to peculiar circumstances that
arose.
The special Act made the law
that the rural policemen should be
appointed upon the recommendation
of the delegation. It was early in
the morning when the Act was
brought to the governor for his signature.
D. H. Magill, of the Greenwood
delegation, was still in Columbia,
but the other members had gone
home, it is stated. Mr. Magill recftmmondprf
two men. L. C. Ellege
and R. L. Golden, to the governor,
and he appointed them as rural policemen
under the Act.
Before the supreme court to-day
it was contended that the men had
not been legally appointed. The two
policemen went ahead and got their
accoutrements, and acted as policemen.
Then, when it came to the
salary time they were told none was
available, it was stated to-day. Then
the point was made as to their appointment.
The whole amount involved
is $166.66 for each, for two
months' salary, at a rate of $1,000
per year. The interest is in the legality
of the appointment, however.
The arguments were filed with the
court.
Bloody Battle in Street.
Swainsboro, Ga., May 13.?One negro
was shot to death. Deputy Sheriff
R. B. Woods died later, and John Mc|
Leod, a negro, wounded three times,
l*is in Emanuel county jail following
a battle in the streets nere to-nigm,.
No further trouble had occurred at
midnight.
j McLeod was a prisoner in charge
of City Marshal Crul. On the way to
jail they met the deputy. The negro
drew a pistol and shot Woods in the
hreast.. The marshal and the negro
exchanged shots, and other pistols
were fired. Dave Blount, a negro was
found dead on the sidewalk with a
pistol beside him. Crul captured Mc
Leod after a chase and took him to
jail.
The belief that the wounded deputy
could not recover caused much
excitement.

Bountiful is Blackville.
Blackville, May 15.?"On account
of the desirable location, convenient
railroad facilities, fertile soil and
healthy climate Blackville is a veritable
garden spot in South Carolina,"
says a visitor who is capable of
knowing a good thing when he sees
it. No one can realize the truth of
this statement without seeing the agricultural
possibilities of that section
of country.
The outside world knows little
about the vast producing possibilities
of the land in this section. It
is "flowing with milk and honey," ,
so to speak. It has been found that
the lands around here can grow profitably
a more diversified assortment
of farm products, fruits and vegetables
than any place in South Caroline.
The school children have learned
to quote with pride from their
geography that "Blackville is the
greatest cantaloupe centre in the
United States, with the single ex- '
ception of Rock Ford, Col." It is
also a noted asparagus market. An
era of agricultural prosperity has advanced
this section to such an extent
that land values are increasing
daily.
SYRIAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
I Peter Gonzales Shoots Five Bullets at
His Head.
Charleston, May 14.?Peter Gonzales,
a Syrian, formerly of Augusta,
and employed by S. P. Schaideressi
here, tried to commit suicide at 1
o'clock this morning, firing five shots
at his head. One bullet took effect,
but Gonzales is not fatally wounded,
it was stated at Roper hospital this
evening. 'He is said to have been deo

Expensive.
Seth Woodbury was a tight-fisted,
hard-hearted old farmer, his brother
William, dying, the neighbors said
from lack of proper treatment. Seth
hitched up and drove into town to
have a notice about his death inserted
in the weekly newspaper.
"There ain't no charges, be there?"
he asked, anxiously.
"Oh, yes, indeed," answered the
editor, "our price is $2 an inch."
"Cracky!" muttered the old man,

CLIPPED BABY'S TONGUE.
Infant Bled to Death and Father is
Cliarged with Murder.
Heflin, Ala., May 13.?Buchanan
Monroe, farmer, is in jail here
charged with the murder of his infant
son. He was arrested while
walking back to his former home in
L'arrelson county, Ga., to bury the
baby. The child was only eight
months old and would not nurse.
Thinking it was tongue-tied, the
father clipped the end of its tongue
and it bled to death. Making a coffin
out of boards, he put the child in
it, strapped the bundle on his shoulders
and started back to Georgia on
foot.
Neighbors reported the case to the
sheriff, who overtook Monroe. He
was ignorant that he had comitted
any crime.
After Hosiery Mill.
Columbia, May 12.?Gov. Blease
has called upon the board of directors
of the State penitentiary, to meet
and declare null and void the hosiery
mill contract. "If you do not give
relief, I will," writes the governor in
a communication directed to-day to
the board and to Col. D. J. Griffith,
the superintendent of the penitentiary.
This letter follows the report of
the State board of health condemning
the hosiery mill and recommending
that it be abolished, and
the convicts employed therein given
outside work. The tubercular
conditions at the penitentiary are the
basis for the recommendation.
"Not only are the inmates made
to suffer," writes the governor, "but
when one with this disease leaves
there and goes out into the world,
he spreads the disease among our
citizenship and thereby causes the
innocent to suffer."
