B. Dial, who is running for the United States Senate, has his card yi in this paper, for which he paid us a $5.00. "It's a shame to take the ^ money." r( Two negroes were fined $1 each w in Winnsboro last week for whistling d, on the streets. Evidently the people a of Winnsboro object to . being dis- bi turbed. What would they do if a t? dvove of partridges should visit their it town? s< j? As there has been some publicity a! given to the matter of protests against the confirmation of the editor r( of this paper as postmaster here, we think it well to say that the only reason given by those who opposed B our confirmation was that we had al- 8 ways opposed Senators Tillman and V Smith politically, and therefore they d; f 7 . ought to hold up the confirmation on o; that account. This they very prop- e1 || erly declined to do, and the strong S endorsements and personal letters C 7 written them by the business men of V c Bhmberg thoroughly convinced them p: r. that we were the choice of our peo- ; R p!e. r< r The boys and girls are at home from college, and we are all mighty n glad to see them. Some have gradu- fj I|p?7 *ted and will take up the work of q IfJ: life. Those we congratulate, and 1 * trust that their future activities will W,::. not remove them from among us. We p7 need you at home. There is room for us all here, and a man's work to ti do for each of us. You have all made r |7 good records and we are proud of o1 you. To you who have not gradu- C1 / ated: May your vacation be most ej 77 pleasant, so play while you can, and 51 this fall when college opens we know tl you will take up your studies with t renewed determination to be a credit r ? to your family, your town, and your- a] KiP*seif ?] f Mayor John P. Grace will possibly ^ be called before the dispensary in- C vestigating committee to testify as to what he knows about tracing graft from Charleston's blind tigers to the governor^ It will be remembered a that the mayor made the statement ' some time ago that he had traced ^ this graft practically up to the governor's office. If the statement is not ^ true he should not have made it, but if it is true the matter should be ventilated. By all meanB give him a chance to prove it, and we are glad ' that he is to be summoned, and he states that he is willing to testify. We have had entirely too much of unfounded rumors and wild insinua.tions in connection with this dispensary business. ?? Jimmie Byrnes and A. F. Lever, congressmen from adjoining dis- s Ptricts, will have no opposition this 4 year, which is well. Mr. Lever has been in congress for several years, and South Carolina has no more able j and 'influential member there than Lever. His years of service, com bined with his ability and energy, have given him an influence possessed 1< by few congressmen, and it is pleas- y ant to know that his district appreci- a ates him sufficiently to return him si without opposition. Byrnes is win- f< ning his spurs, and is regarded in g Washington as one of the very v brightest young men in the house. He will make good, in fact he has g already done so, as his appointment v on the banking and currency commit- h tee proves. The work he is doing e in the present investigation is most important, and his worth is already c recognized by his colleagues in Wash- Ii ington. ij | [ IL ? How the Yorkville Enquirer, in iew of the letters from Evans to loodman, can say that the evidence gainst Evans was simply ridiculous c 7e cant see. Our good friend Grist 15 5 possessed of unusual qualities of * iscernment and analysis but he 1 eems to have slipped a cog this * ime.

Long t fe to him, a wish which is fervently v bared by practically all South Caro- 0 nians. t The people of South Carolina have s Dme to the point where they are go- a lg to demand of the politicians' what v c Drt of government they stand for, nd no candidate for office need hope s ) escape the alignment. Every man b olding a public office or aspiring for p ne has a certain amount of influ- D ace. He cannot be quiesscent, and ? le voters will want to knew whether v lat influence stands for their idea tl f government or not. This is not ringing onto the coat-tails of anyody, but it is an expression which t ill indicate what kind of govern- * tent the aspirant for office prefers. n This newspaper has pleaded for n gars for better business methodts p mong the newspapers of South Caro- s na, and we are delighted that at the e Bcent meeting of the Press Associa- li on, the matter aroused interest. We a ere in touch with what was being s one before the meeting, and it was d great regret to us that we could not o e present. No business can ever ob- t; tin the respect of the public unless d ; demands it. It will not come un- v jught. Don't be a mendicant or n rcophant. Pay for what you get t ad demand pay for what you do. In f; lis way only can you obtain the aspect of your constituency. t! a The editor of The Herald left ^ amberg Saturday afternoon, June th, expecting to get back from g Washington to Spartanburg by Tuesay morning to attend the meeting g f the State Press Association. Howe per, on account of the absence of enator Smith, who was in South j arolina and did not return until Wednesday, the 12th, we missed the ress meeting, for the first time in imber of years. It was a great ^ Bgret to us not to be with the . boys," but it couldn't be helped ' lis time.

Senator Elihu Root was 1C ected over McGovern by a vote of n 58 to 502. Root was the choice of h le Taft forces and it looks now like w aft will be the nominee and that oosevelt will bolt the convention ^ ad run as an independent. The lly business transacted Tuesday e as the selection of a temporary 11 lairman. a E Two Killed by Fast Train. ii Erie, Pa., June 17.?E. A. Snyder, 0 millionaire manufacturer of Cincin- ^ ati, and his wife, who were on their ?" Dneymoon, were instantly killed late 11 )-day when their automobile was Tuck by a fast train at a crossing fl f the Lake Shore & Michigan South- ? rn Railroad at Eiarbor Creek, near 11 ere. Miss Ethel Stanton, a daughter a f Mrs. Snyder was seriously hurt, e hile the chauffeur Harold Leet es- *XT aped with minor bruises. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Snyder ^ ere terribly mutilated. About three months ago Snyder ij larried Mrs. Harry Stanton, the wid- P w of a Philadelphia woolen manu- " acturer.

Last week the writer spent severa lays in Washington. While then ve had the pleasure to see many o he representatives from South Caro ina and their secretaries, amonj hem being Senators Tillman ant Smith and Congressmen Legare, Le 'er, Ellerbe, and Johnson. Unfortu lately we did not get to see Con pressman Byrnes, as he was absen n New York with the banking ant urrency committee, where they wen aking testimony in regard to the fi tancial investigation now going on >ut his efficient secretary, Mr. H. B lare, was on hand, and showed ui any delightful courtesies. We art .lso under many obligations to Mr . B. Wingard. secretary to Com xessman Lever, and a most delight ul gentleman, Mr. Wyche, secretary o Senator Tillman, and C. M. Gallo ray, Senator Smith's secretary, ai Id friend who used to be news edior on the Columbia State. We alsc pent a little time with P. H. Fike nother first-class newspaper mar rho gave up newspaper work to beome secretary to Congressman Johnon. By the way, Fike will no doubi e remembered by a lot o:f Bamberg eople, as he lived here for a whih iany years ago, succeeding th< rriter as foreman of The Heralc -'hen we left here in 1892 and wen1 o Orangeburg. These are all most delightful fel-,-trro on-1 rnallv wo fJrt tint cpo hnn b'TTO, auu X UUliJ TT^ UV UW MVV mw f. heir bosses could get along withoul hem. If it be true that the sectaries do all the work for congresslen and senators, then they come lighty near filling the bill. But we eople down here needn't fool ourelves about it. Everybody works ven the senators. In fact one has ittle idea of the manifold duties ol congressman or senator and theii ecretaries. They have something tc o all the time, and the demands upn their time and patience in connecion with matters before the manj epartments is enormous. There's i 'hole lot more to being a congress lan than attending the sessions 01 he house and making speeches. Ir act, that is the smallest part. We met several congressmen anc heir secretaries from other States nd the trip was a most pleasant one >ne South Carolinian who is one ol he most prominent men from thh tate in Washington is P. H. McGow n, correspondent of the Columbi? tate. He has been in Washingtoi ight years, and is thoroughly ii ouch with political life and happenags, and is one of the nicest fellow* ou ever met. Political sentiment in Washingtoi ras very much divided amonj tie Democrats, in fact none ol hem seemed to know exactly / 'here *they are at. Possiblj hamp Clark has the larger fol>wing there because of his position s speaker of the house, but in some uarters it was thought that Woodow Wilson would undoubtedly be tie nominee. Kooseveit has lew inenas in wasnlgton, even in his own party, and o one had a good word for him. Id act, it seemed to be the general opin>n that President Taft would be the ominee, and each day the news of is gains in the contest for delegates ras received with delight. It was a great pleasure to know aat our representatives and senaars stand well and haye much influnce. Senator Tillman is in better ealth than for years. He looks nything else than like a dead man. le is at his office in the capitol buildlg every day promptly at eleven 'clock and attends to his duties just ae same as before his illness. How ver, ne aoesn i mase speeuucs uuw, 1 fact he doesn't have to, but there > no question that he is the most inuential Senator in . Washington, enator Smith is right on the job and laking good, and he looks carefully fter the interests of his constitunts. Byrnes is making a fine record, .egare and Lever and Johnson and Jllerbe stand well, and, truth to tell, .ever and Legare can get almost anyhing they want up there. We realised as never before that it does no1 ay to change congressmen. Theii afluence is measured in great part y their length of service, and noth* ag is gained by electing a new mar o displace one who has been there or years, even though the new mar aay have more ability. It is grati* ying, therefore, that South Carolini* ns realize this, and few of our con* ressmen will have opposition this ear. A community torn by dissensions ent asunder by strife and contentior ?the people ready always to fly ai ach other's throats on account 01 ivalry and petty jealousies?car lever hope to succeed. The univeral brotherhood of man is constantly [eferred and the end of time will ap>ear before this great desideratum an be brought about, unless mar hall be brought to the realization ol his, his dominant weakness.
