Thursday, June 17, 1915.
! Weekly Weather Forecast.
Issued by the United States weather
bureau at Washington, for the
week beginning Wednesday, June
16, 1915.
For the South Atlantic and East
Gulf States:
Showers Wednesday, Saturday and j
Sunday,
with temperature above the
Bpk seasonal average.
There is some talk that the proposed
water mains may take in only
a part of the city. We hope this is
I not correct. While the town is at it,
let us go the whole way and put water
in reach of everybody?at least
within a reasonable distance of all
portions of the town.
Because the woman who was kill- j
ed here last Saturday night was aj
negress, and her slayer was a negro!
man, we hope the efforts to bring the
criminal to justice will be no less)
than if the parties were white. An
atrocious crime should be avenged.'
whether the parties are white or
black.
In a burst of eloquence. Brother
Ed DeCamp. the inimitable, sends
this forth to cheer his appreciative
readers:
"Love is the concentrated essence
of goodness, sprinkled upon the ten-i
der petals of a crystalized violet. It;
comes skyhooting dow n from the
high heavens on a n^'.low moonbeam, !
entwines its silken tendrils about,
your nuuering nean uum >uui j
breath comes in short, quick, ecstatic
gasps and your soul just seems to
float away on a billow of seafoam to;
??; the Island of Rosebuds and Orange
Blossoms."
S * It is to be hoped that the senselessness
of mob violence will be emphasized
by the tragedy at Winnsboro
this week. Innocent men seek- j
ing to follow their oaths of office lie;
cold in death. The sheriff, sworn. I
to maintain law and order, was seek- j
ing to protect a prisoner charged
with the usual grave offense, when
he was attacked. The negro was
' killed, and so were two white officers.
The negro's crime is avenged, as it J
doubtless would have been without
interference by enraged friends or
\ relatives of the victim, but whose
crime does the death of these valiant
officers avenge?
Without doubt the clearest expression
we have seen in regard to the
resignation of Mr. Bryan is from the
Yorkville Enquirer. Mr. Wilson and
Mr. Bryan are generally regarded as|
being about the biggest men in thej.
country, and it comes with ill-grace
in-*. ovcrare nprson with his!
small vision, to hurl viscious criticisms
at either of them. The Enquirer
says, concluding a most excellent
N editorial:
We have felt all along and we
still feel that the United States
should keep out of this war. We are
unable to see that it is the duty of
this country to interfere in any way;
but we understand tnat our area of
vision is only an infinitesimal fraction
compared with that of either
of the two great statesmen who have
come to such a sharp difference and
^ it is not for us to try to decide between
them.
Publicity Precludes (iraft.
One of the most potent reasons for
the wide latitude allowed some public
servants who exercise wide discretion
in the matter of expending public
money among their political favorites
is the lack or publicity. It is
a good idea to let the public know
who gets the business of the city,
county. State or nation, because only
in this way can the dispenser of public
work be prevented from handing
the jobs to his friends alone.?William
Jennings Bryan.

Among; the advance! camps of

11 of this point, whence the-great
