Thursday, October 7, 1915. Weekly Weather Forecast. Issued by the United States weather bureau at Washington, for the week beginning Wednesday, October ,6, 1915. > For the South Atlantic and East Gulf States: Generally fair weather is indicated throughout the week. It will be cooler Wednesday and Thursday and somewhat warmer thereafter. With cotton bringing around i. twelve cents, the South having more foodstuffs on hand thamever before, and with the cost of cotton production less than when cotton sold forj three cents, there should certainly i be no worry about war conditions. While it /is true that prdbably not r more than half a crop will be harvested. * it is also true that cotton j I possibly cost less than half to makej it - than is usually paid. Farmers planted cotton with the expectation of; receiving about seven cents for The Chicago Tribune says the;_ South is uncivilized and a menace to 1 the republic. This was said ''with j special reference to-the Frank lynching, but applying to the conditions in j general in the South. Such expres-l eions are unworthy^of a great newspaper, and we are glad to note that the expression gained no favorable comment from any other Northern . newspapers. The lynching spirit in^ the South is no worse than it is* in ( the North, and the rabid sectional-11 feeling editorials of, the Chicago pa- j i per will not alter conditions in either I! the North or the South. I, The Bamberg grand jury, in its j presentment at the recent sessipn of. court, made this statement. jjfe V We have been informed that some Hi of the magistrates of the county Bp?:.; v have gone beyond the limit of the ? K law jn charging for service, and we1 ask that they look up the law on the 1 matter of fees, and be governed ac- ' v cordingly. Spy/ That would certainly seem to be a bad precedent for tfie grand jury to 1 || set.' The grand jury's duty is to 1 & present persons or officials for vioK lation of the law or dereliction of ||. duty. If there are any magistrates j m.f" in Bamberg bounty who have exceed-; ed their authority in the matter of; I? j - charging fees, or in any other mat-' p% terf they should be presented for II the offence. The implication by the, grand jury might mean two magis-i p - trates or practically all the magisW:.-. trates have been guilty of going be-! M' yond the law in chargingNfees. The! $?*.- orTQnH inrv should be specific, and; p' not in a general way cast a reflec-i &-/ ' tion on every magistrate in the coun' ty, and if any magistrate has violat-j | ed the law, he should be punished, j and not merely admonished not to repeat the offence. A Good Boy. Tommy's teacher had reported him as the best boy in her class, and con sequently his mother felt justified in discussing with him that evening at supper the evil character of the other ^ boys in the neighborhood. "I wouldn't go about with that Charlie Banks, if I were you, TomTnv " said his mother. "I was told g this morning that he was seen sticking pins in his little dog. But I know you wouldn't do such a thing." "No, mother," he answered, "of course I wouldn't." "But," broke in his father, "I heard that you were there at the itime Charlie was sticking in the pins. You should have stopped him, my lad." For a moment Tommy's face fell, but he soon recovered himself. "I couldn't stop him, father," he exclaimed. "You see, I was holding the dog."
