Thursday, Dec. 3, 1914 Governor-elect .Manning is quoted as saying that there will he no race > track gambling after the new administration goes into office. That sounds good. It has been a long time since we have heard such things v uttered in South Carolina by the head of the administration. Especially in view of the fact that preparations are being made for the usual racing in Charleston, so it is said. Four years .ago while riding on a circus train between Columbia and Augusta, Paul Williams, a young man from Columbia, was foully slain, robbed and his body thrown from the moving train. His friend and companion on the trip. John C. Week ley. ' escaped a like treatment by hiding among the wagons on the car. George Nichols, of Cairo, 11!.. a ruffian, and a giant negro employee of the circus were convicted of the murder by a sober jury in Lexington. They were saved from death sentence only by recommendation to mercy. After serving less than four years, the gov ernor of South Carolina annulled the mandate of the court by freeing Nichols front the penitentiary. That's the governor's method of returning thanks! . _ .The chief commodity a newspaper has for sale is its space. Yet a news, paper is more often called upon to give of its commodity than any other industry in existence. Take, for instance, the matter of helping the farmer. Of course, helping the farmer is a favorite topic with those seeking notoriety, politicians aud a few others. They make a big noise every time they offer a motion in some so-cal:ed cotton meeting to "help the farmer." Well, perhaps that is all good and well. We hope so anyway. But, to revert to the subject. The newspapers of the country have given after column. Dase after " page, to making public every plan conceived to benefit the farmer. This space, had it been paad for. would have been worth, we will venture to estimate, more than the value of all cotton bought at ten cents a pound. And the newspapers did not make any noise. This is saying a whole lot to get at the core of the thing, and that is if tlie readers of newspapers appreciate what the newspaper^ have done, always do. and always will do for them, they should not rank the newspaper last in paying their debts. And when you get tired of your paper, don't go to the postoffice and refuse to take it out to escape paying a just debt. Do your paper the courtesy of writing, and asking that it be discontinued, and be sure to pay up before doing so. Love Laughs. "Darling," he cried, "I swear by this grand tree whose spreading branches shade us from the heat?by this noble tree I swear that I have never loved before." The girl smiled faintly. "You always say such appropriate things, Dick," she murmured. "This is a chestnut tree."?Top-Notch. The 10-year-old son of Abrani Aiken was killed Tuesday morning bv coming into contact with a live wire at Summerville, the wire having fal len to the ground. The noted Order of the Golden Fleece is a military one instituted by Philip the Good. Duke of Burgundy, in 1429, on the occasion of his marriage with the Portuguese Princess Isabella. The order now belongs to both Spain and Austria. Coming next week?"ZIXGO," at Thielen Theatre.?adv. | MKTHGIHST APPOINTMENTS. 11 Continued from pay? l. column * .) i Williamston and Belton. S.

Official news from Poland contin!S scanty, and. with both headqnarrs claiming successes, it is impossie to say how the battle is going, r its. intensity, however, there can i no doubt. The Germans, when they started j r Warsaw, dashed full tilt into a! ass of Russian troops and forced j eir way so far in that the Russians j Dsed on them.

It appears, however, that, fighting r their very lives and in the knowl-j ge that a great defeat would end e German offensive and compel em to fall back oil their own fronts, the German troops broke rough the Russian lines at one' ace and at another are holding trenchments against all the Rus-' in attacks. Their flanks still are ing harassed by the Cossacks, but emingly the Russians are not in a isition to gain the sweeping victory; ev had anticipated. The losses, with the desperate I fitting that has been going on for I fortnight, must necessarily be very I savy on both sides.
