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

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. ^

The governor says that the reports
made by Rev. C. W. Creighton,

his private detective, are on file in ?

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 *

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

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

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

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.
