Thursday, March 28, 1912. m m When newspapers urge respect for m law and nrr!r>r and at the same time ch % cry out for pardons for convicted tu criminals, how can they expect their pi words to have any weight? fo We must build that brick dormi- m tory for the Carlisle Fitting School Sc this fall. It is badly needed, and f0 the school is such a valuable asset di to Bamberg that we cannot afford to th have it suffer for lack of equipment, be nc It is stated that Col. Wilie Jones CQ will positively not stand for re-elec- ^ tion as chairman of the Democratic tarty. L. J. Browning, of Union, ^ and D. J. Sinkler, of Charleston, are spoken of to succeed him. Col. Jones h? has made a most excellent and faithful official, and the Democracy could ju do no better than retain him in. the y-( position if he can be prevailed upon c0 to accept. ^ yQ The governor says that the reports made by Rev. C. W. Creighton, 3.E his private detective, are on file in ? 1 0 his office and that they can be seen by any one. Let us have these re- . ports and find out what Mr. Creighton did to earn his salary of $100 a * .. . D'c month tor nine montns, ana wmcn is o 1 still going on. The newspaper men SD of Columbia should procure these SO reports and publish them in full. so The danger of lynch law was thor- t0 oughly shown in the affair at War- ai( renville last week. Had young cn Brown not gotten out of the way no doubt he would have been killed. Yet or if we lynch negroes we will lynch white men, and if we lynch for grave so crimes it is only a step to lynching us for lesser crimes. Let this spirit of cu lawlessness continue to grow and m< soon the time will come when no man's life will be safe against the La mob, no matter how innocent he is of any crime. The only protection ^ of the poor man is the law, that is his best friend, and when that is fo: ruthlessly trampled under foot there is grave danger ahead. ca ^ st: The more we read of the courts W1 presided over by Judges Memminger f0: and Gage the better pleased we are 1S that they were not elected to the supreme bench. True they are worthy ru of the honor and we would rejoice in lai any promotion which might come to n* them, yet they are too valuable to tn leave the circuit bench, and they are of more service to the tax payers in ^ their present positions. Able and ^ patriotic, learned in the law and fair bl in their decisions, dispatching the "business of the courts with all pos- In sible speed and at as small expense as ei] possible, they are to our mind the highest type of jurists. Many years of service to their State is our wish ^ for them. be m A resolution has been introduced br in congress providing for an investi- th gation of the "patent outside" or ar ready-print business. It is claimed that there is a trust in the business and that it is attempting to force one sh concern to shut up shop. We hope ti< the whole thing will be done away br with, and this can be done if con- st: gress will refuse the newspaper pos- s? tal rate to such publications as are th printetd elsewhere than the office of m publication or any portion of them, ty This "ready-print" business has kept to the country newspaper men poor for ar years because of the placing of ad- cc vertisements on the "ready-print" 1? portions, for which very low rates *a were charged, thus depriving the newspaper of a considerable portion of its income as well as reducing advertising rates. pr The governor is to be commended r his efforts to investigate the nching of three negroes in this unty, provided an honest effort is ade to fix the responsibility. We ould not doubt his sincerity, but e want to say that anything less an a full investigation will be worse an none at all. If we are going to ive law, let's have it, but we feel [re lack of confidence in the law j id the granting of so many pardons | used the lynching. We are no | lologist for lynch law because it J ippens in our county, but what can ! >u expect when vile criminals are j irdoned. A few years ago an of-1 >er of the law was foully murdered j this town, yet his slayer was rently turned loose by the governor. Letter from "Old Timer." Wanderer's Rest, March 25.?Afr two days of waits and delays irough red clay mixed into a sticky ass, rain falling all the while, king away much of the charm iturally coming to a low countryan unaccustomed to hills, rocks, ay, and up-country scenes, was ached Central, not lar from the faous Blue Ridge mountains, but now dden from view by the rain, mist, id lowering clouds. Here was found little city of a thousand souls, who ere a clever, kind, and whole-souil people, the town well built, dided by the railroad, a branch of e Southern, un entering a uaruei op where a fine faced young man ide us welcome with bright smiles jhting his face, on the walls were any choice verses of scripture and ottoes in them, also announceents of the Y. M. C. A. and all the lurches, made an old man's heart rn to the young barber and his ace, his the first of its kind to be und from the Atlantic to the Fade, and the town raised in an old an's mind by this his first find. >on a home for the night was und, supper over and a most coral invitation given to go out to' e graded school building, said to i third best in South Carolina, now >t doubted by the visitors. So in mpany of other guests soon found e mecca of all that evening.. Tall arble pillars support the front, the lilding a good one, and the interior tndsomely finished with neat and mdy class rooms. On the stage sat eight boys, and st in front a piano, violin, and bass olin were placed, which was a welme sight to one old man in the aupnrp nnri hack nf these sat a dozen >ung ladies and girls who later rilled the house with choice music Ld song. Not long did that brightced audience have to wait, when le of the boys was introduced and an off hand way, not even notes ?re used, gave verbatim one of miel Webster's best speeches, until I were introduced, each giving a eech made by John C. Calhoun or me other statesman of his day, ng and music by the young ladies cheer and enlighten all. Nobly d those their part, and some day e of their number may make the ills of our capitol ring with his atory. Only one thing was lacking in that ng and music?not an old song was ed. All of the pieces were exeted in perfect harmony, still the ?lody of th? old songs was absent, hat song u sweeter than "Annie iurie?" if its author lost her and e married another chap; then lidnight Hour," so full of waking oughts and melody; and "Wait r the Wagon." and a host of others, d to say that our time does not II for "Lilly Dale," "Oft in the illy Night," and many more filled th pathos and heart lifting melody, r ragtime is the hit now. Change everywhere, and must needs be in isic, perhaps, too. Once sentiment led, now a strenuous life and dolrs are the rage. Guess it is all jht if men can hold on to the right ack as they speed. Excuse an old man's fancy as he gresses, for in his mind the ir,an at cares not for children, song of rds and flowers, is a spot on nare, to say nothing about me la.dy song or music. But back to the tertainment in an up-country wn. The last piece was a solo rented by a slip of a girl, who for /I TVM1 1 L1U1V liiUVCl 1CUI auu pi ^LIOIUU mil i hard to find, and she certainly has astered the violin and piano to ing such quick but soft tones from em. Thus an evening was spent id all were charmed, or one was at ast. Next morning the sun was brightly ining and the scene was a revela:>n. For miles was the scene unoken, away to the North and East retched the blue mountains, a mist emed to hover over and around em, with flecks of clouds beyond, ade a panorama of exceeding beau. Soon the scene faded as we sped ward the low country and home, id as we rush along the thought >mes. Morn amid the mountains, st in solitude, rushing streams and lis, God alone is good. OLD TIMER.
