fll Thursday, June 15,1911. 5
We long to see the day in South
Carolina when every newspaper will
be printed entirely at home, discardJSi-v
ing ready prints, and every editor re- (
|jv; quire the-railroads to pay cash for
V their advertisement and he pay cash
p for his Tailroad tickets. We believe
jfe it would be of great benefit to the
g profession. g
ife.? The postmasters at Barnwell, Al- t
1^4, lendale, Denmark, and Branchville
. get an increase in salary beginning e
first of July, but the salary of the s
Bamberg post office remains the *
Igy same. The salary at Barnwell now is 1
; the same as Bamberg, and there is s
jp? only $100 difference between Bam- 8
berg and Denmark. It seems that the *
fe; salary of our post office is not keep^I'
ling up with our growth in population. cGovernor
Blease ousted the former
a&f * asylum commission which was charg- s
p|' ad with the duty of erecting new T
fe buildings for that institution, and ap- r
pointed his personal friends. Now t
: wb 'own commission h&s engaged the l
lE>services of a New York architect, in \
p: ' ?pite of the fact that there are many
: competent architects in this State, c
y.r The governor had a good deal to say <v
recently about the Winthrop trustees c
employing an architect from North 8
^^ V<!jftrolina, yet we notice he is as dumb ^
- ' * * Ui?
IjV aa an oyster about tne action 01 ms s
Pj|si personal asylum commission. s
fey /Blackvllle, Branchville, and Den- ^
f v mark have recently had their postal
^^^lacilities improved by the erection .
life;Of nice buildings with new equipment
|-.f and furniture, and now comes the
iews that Barnwell is to have a new
II '. building and new equipment in the j
"way of up-to-date boxes etc. We
jpsr have here the same furniture and
R& boxes which has been in use for fifgj|
teen years or more, while the build- t
is entirely inadequate. There e
are not enough boxes, and even those B
Pjl^fcre not what they should be. It s
Sjjg-. seems that our people would get busy *
fl|p? and require the government to give
towif proper facilities. k
i|fe The State board of education is to o
^' meet next Saturday to adopt text t
books for the schools for the next a
S&fry K \
five years, and agents of the various C
^- ' publishing houses have recently been
working on the members of the $
fboard to get their books adopted. It 1
l|p: 1s evident that the governor intends 0
Iprtd try to control the adoption of I
' books, as he had something to say ?
about removing the board. This i
week he stated that there %would be t
? ; no changes in the board before Sat- i
: urday, and it is evident he is holding ^
?f:. over the members the threat of re?>''
moval in order to try to bully them
||| into adopting such books as he fa- ^
Bgpgorg/ c
S' v Let's have the truth of that story \
as to the Winthrop college girls re- t
fusing to receive their diplomas from l
the hands of the governor. Some s
? papers have said the story was a
fake, but we have not as yet seen I
any official denial of it. ir an m:
^ justice was done the governor, we
feel sure every newspaper will want
to correct it, no matter whether
, friendly to him or not. Blease's
newspaper supporters continually
froth at the mouth about news items
not doing the governor justice, yet
fso far we have not seen a single news
atory concerning his actions proved
untrue. It should not be charged
against the newspapers when they
publish unpleasant facts as to his
excellency. The newspapers don't
make the news?they only publish
the facts. If they publish anything
untrue, show them up, but until they
do, keep quiet about not doing the
governor justice.

I;
We notice that Maj. John W.
Holmes, of the Barnwell People, is
mother newspaper editor who does
lot ride on a railroad pass, but pays
tlis fare just like any other passenger.
Unfortunately there are too few
editors in the State who do this, but
we believe the newspaper men are
beginning to realize that the railroads
are getting the big end of the
present arrangement, and that soon
uhe time will come when the newspapers
will do business with the railroads
on a business basis?that is,
30 much space for a stated number
Df miles of railroad travel. We want
;o do away with the pass arrangement
and have the railroads issue
mileage books. That is the only busi
less way.
Two First Bales of Cotton.
Houston, Texas, June 10.?Two
'first bales" of cotron are racing towards
Houston, Texas, to-night to
;laim first honors in this cotton market.
The Houston cotton exchange was
idvised yesterday that one bale
started from Rivera, booked for deivery
at the lo ?al exchange, and folowing
this came ^he announcement
;hat San Benito had started a special
;rain with Houston as its destination
ind bearing the first bale produced
n that section. Both bales are fully
LI days earlier than the first bale
ast season.
The two trains should reach here
jarly to-morrow morning. The speciil
bringing the San Benito bale cost
>528.75.
Firemen Won't Strike.
Washington, June 10.?The dis>ute
between the Southern Railway
Company and its firemen, which has
>een in mediation for the past two
reeks, has been settled on a basis
atisfactory to both sides.
Each side, it is said, made conceslions,
but what they were none of
hose interested .would say.
In making -various concessions
>ach side it is said in a statement isued
by the mediators was influenced
>y a desire to maintain friendly reations
with the other. The conlideration
of public interests played
in important part in effecting a setlement.
Because of some of the delicate
luestions involved it was said no furhor
would be eiven out.
The negro question, it is underitood,
figured largely in the controrersy.
Fear tha^ any statement in
egard to this question now might
>e misunderstood, is believed to have
ed to the determination to say nothng.
The controversy has been a long
me. When it seemed the firemen
vere on the verge of a strike they
nncantoH maHfatinn.' Even for
VU0VUVVU vv ?
ome time after the mediators took
ip the case about two weeks ago the
tubbornness with which the firemen
tood by their demands made the
ase look hopeless. To the last minite
the firemen declared they would
onsider nothing but a 20 per cent,
ncrease in their wages.
HEAVY PROPERTY LOSS.
/ ?mmmmm
iammage Will Aggregate $100,000.
Was Heaviest at Flushing, L. I.
New York, June 11.?A survey of
he nearby territory over which the
lements raged from 10 o'clock last
tight until 4 o'clock this morning
howed to-day that three lives were
ost and the havoc wrought by water,
ightning, wind and fire amounted to
Lundreds of thousands or aoiiars.
'wo bodies were found early to-day
>n the shore of Gravesend bay. The
hird death was in Jersey City, where
. fallen live wire electrocuted David
'lark.
Losses aggregating more than
100,000 were caused by fires set by
ightning. It is estimated that $50,i00
damage was done at Flushing, L.
., where 25,000 men and women
rere within a big enclosure witnessng
a society circus. Twelve large
ents were leveled by the wind and
n the stampede which followed six
romen were trampled.
At Coney Island tents and shacks
irected on the site of the recent fire
Fere blown down and some whirled
>ut to sea.
At Patterson, N. J., 200 big trees
?ere uprooted, carrying down with
hem arc lights and trolley wires,
eaving me city wunoui ngnt or car
lervice for several hours.
The British tramp steamer Susquelanna
and the coastwise schooner
Nellie W. Craig did not disentagle
hemselves until to-day from the colision
into which they were brought
>y last night's storm. The Susquelanna
being without ballast was
swept from her anchorage off Stapleon,
Staten Island, and carried down
stream across the bow of the schooner,
which was at anchor off quaran;ine.
The vessels came together with
i crash, carrying away the schooner's
leadgear and breaking off her bowsprit
close to the hull. The damage
:o the Susquehanna was slight, and
she was towed back, to her anchorage
po-day. The Nellie W. Craig was
jound for Charleston, S. C., and expensive
repairs will be necessary before
she can proceed.
t
FIRST TEXAS BALE.
Special Train Chartered to Carry it
to Houston.
Houston, Tex., June LI.?The
Houston cotton exchange will be
opened to all business men to-morrow
regardless of whether or not they are
members of the exchange when the
first bale of cotton produced this year
I will be auctioned at 10 o'clock.
The bale was grown at San Benito,
Cameron county, by Ernest Matz, on
a 100 acre farm leased by Alfonso
Hicks. It was rushed into San Benito
Saturday by automobile, ginned and
rushed to this city on a special train.
Tn cot the hale to Houston
before all other bales, reported to
have been ready to ship on the regular
train, comprising a private car
and a passenger coach was chartered
at a price of $528.75, or at the rate
of $1.50 a mile. |
It is predicted that this price will j
be covered by that paid to-morrow
by the hightest bidder, making the
price greater than ever paid in history
for the first bale. The weight
of the bale is 490 pounds, in spite
of the fact that one large gunney sack
of seed cotton was lost in the rush.
The "first bale" reported ginned at
Riviera, has not arrived here yet.
Cotton Acreage Increased.
New Orleans, June 11.?The
Times-Democrat in the first of its report
of the cotton crop of 1911 tomorrow
will say:
"There has been a considerable increase
of acreage, probably about 5
per cent., after allowing for acreage
abandoned because of boll weevil and
for other areas over which the seed
failed to germinate for want of moisture.
The supply of labor is sufficient and
the cultivation has been exceedingly
thorough.
Texas correspondents state that
rains must come in the next few days,
else serious deterioration will take
place and certain sections of the Atlantic
States are also in need of
moisture. I
The boll weevil is active fn parts
of Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkan
1 j i.u ^
sas; not mucn is iiearu ui iuc pcot
elsewhere.
Taking the belt as a whole the condition
of the crop was unusually high
at the date of this report, June 5,
but the outlook is subjected to sudden
change.
Favor Clark for President.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York World says the Champ
Clark boom for president was boosted
to-day by assurances from William
J. Bryan and William Randolph
Hearst of friendly hopes for success.'
Mr. Clark received a letter from
Mr. Bryan protesting that the Nebraskan's
turndown on the wool
schedule had not led to hard feelings,
that anyhow Mr. Bryan was in a forgiving
and even generous mood, and
that Mr. Clark still was his ideal of
a leader (granting of course, that
Mr. Bryan was not in the running.)
Mr. Bryan, it is understood, did not
commit himself to advocacy of the
nomination of Mr. Clark, but indicated
clearly that if Mr. Clark could get
away with the nomination Mr. Bryan
not only would not put rocks on
the track, but would help heave off
those that might be chucked by others.
mv?? nnAni.AF lator trraa oaanrc/1 hv
X lie Bpcan.ci latvi ttuo ?uuu> vu
Col. John Temple Graves that Mr.
Hearst has a kindly feeling for him
and his candidacy. Col. Graves said
to the World correspondent:
"Mr. Hearst and Mr. Clark served
in congress together. Mr. Clark,
with that faculty for making friends
which has become famous, made a
friend of Mr. Hearst, and the friendship
has continued. ,
"Mr. Hearst, naturally, is not unmindful
of claims that he himself
has on the Democratic party. The
ideas th8t he has put forth and has
consistently defended?not only defended
hut advanced?in the last 15
years have become the principle of
the new or progressive Democracy.
"As Mr. Bryan has admitted frankly
several times, and as Mr. Hearst
has said himself, the presidential
bee is a persistent tempter and hard
to get rid of. But I think I can say
that of the present avowed or tentative
candidates, Mr. Hearst feels
' ? J1 ? CnAobav PVioran
Ill US I KlilUl.y luivaiuo 0|icaa</i vuuuip
Clark."
The Missouri delegation in congress
learned of this development
with great interest, but was compelled
to keep silence for the present.
The compelling force was the fact
that at the Democratic Missouri platform
convention last fall former Gov.
Joseph W. Folk was indorsed for
president. That was done at the
time, it was said, to eliminate Mr.
Folk from the senatorial race, which
finally was won by the present Senator
Reed.
The Missouri delegation therefore
had to content itself with silence,
supplemented only by the statement
that if Missouri desires Clark rather
than Folk the Democrats of Missouri
will find a way to express that next
spring, when delegates are selected
to the National Convention of 1912.

MANGLED BODY ACROSS TRACK.
Gruesome Find by Engineer Near
King's Mountain.

1 VI1 T il*V) 1/ MUV a a*
Austell, arriving in Greenville this
morning at the throttle of Southern
railway train No. 39, reported the
finding of the mangled body of a
white man across the track about
three miles this side of King's Mountain
in Cherokee county.,
The body appeared to be that of a
man about 30 years of age, was well
dressed and bore every mark of refinement.
The absence of cards or
letters in the dead man's pockets
rendered identification impossible.
From all appearances the man met his
death several hours previous to the
passing of No. 39, which was about
8:30 o'clock.

eligible applicants M. L. McCrae, of
Bamberg county, received the highest

county, and S. B. Mays, Jr., of Edgefield,
came next in order named and
will be named as alternates. The
regulation require applicants to be
between 16 and 20 years of age. The
i examiners state in their report that,
at the request of S. G. Mayfield, Jr.,

therefore could not enter the contest,
they let him participate, and
had he been eligible he would have
won the contest.
In Defense of Her Honor.
Creede, Col., June 12.?In defense
of her honor, as she alleges, Mrs.
Michael Lefevre, wife of a prominent
man of this district, shot and killed
John Zang, proprietor of the Zang
Hotel here at the Lefevre home in
South Creede, about 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Zang was fifty-five
years old, and his slayer is twenty
years his junior.
Mrs. Lefevre is held in the county
jail here charged with murder. Ac-'
cording to the woman's story, Zangj
called at her home about 2:30 o'clock
in the afternoon. He asked for the
woman's husband, and on learning
that he was not at home, seized Mrs.
Lefevre. She took her husband's revolver
and shot Zang in the face.
