A Massachusetts mob, composed of
men and women, we read, stormed
a jail and tried to get a negro prisoner
accused of a crime against a
wJiite woman. Southern mobs do
this same thing and frequently succeed
better than the Massachusetts

southern mob, on lynching bent, that
was composed of both men and women.
Verily, Massachusetts has gone
the south one better.
/
About the most amusing thing of
the year was the letter of Judge
Hammond demanding an apology of
South Carolina for alleged invasion
of Georgia by a South Carolina mob.
Truly this ought to go under the
head of the joke department. It is
related that the streets of Jerusalem
were kept clean by everybqdv sweeping
in front of his own door. When
? .
Georgia ceases to be the leading ex
ponent of the lynch law, then we will
join Judge Hammond in demanding
an apology of any state that permits
tomob
"invasion into its bounds.
Concerted action of some sort
should be taken by the merchants as
a protest against the higb.-handed
methods of the state tax commission.
The commission has selected a few
industries, evidently, to pick on, one
of which is the mercantile business.
Merchants are required to value their
stock at 100 cents on the dollar, and
then the 42 per cent, valuation is fixed.
Other lines of business are permitted
to value their own property,
at least to some extent. It is a rare
thing that a householder values his
goods for taxation at more than $100,
and nothing is said or cone about it,
even though the goods are frequently
worth $1,000 or more, and it is common
for horses and mules and wagons
to go down at $10 to $25 each.
The finest land in Bamberg county is
returned at less than $7.00 an acre,
when the salable value is $100 or
more per acre. One merchant can
do nothing; it will take money to
fight this matter, and it will be cheaper
for the average merchant to pay
the taxes rather than contest his as?
' sessment. What about a meeting of
?53* V

VUC JJLL VX V/UUU CfcJ V i. o IV wv?*. V
something? The Herald will undertake
all necessary publicity and will
assist financially in such an undertaking.
The Chester News is reading the
"riot act" to its merchants for sending
their printed matter to northern
and western states. The News says
it is "spending more money in the
city of Chester than is paid in by the
people of Chester" and for that reason
alone is entitled to a chance at
the commercial printing of its town.
Every word the News says is true.
;But the News is not the only newspaper
in the state that suffers from
' the ingratitude or indifference, or
TJ* Vi o toror ir/-?n mav 11 it r?f ltft m PT*
chants and business men. Fifty per
cent, of the printed matter used in
the state comes from the north and
west. It is printed on the same presses,
from the same material and by the
same class of workmen as one will
find in this state and is every bit just
as good in point of price, quality and
1 appearance.
The above is from a recent issue
of the Dillon Herald. It seems to be
a peculiar theory among folks that a
newspaper can just exist. People
like to point with pride to their county
paper; they swell with pride in
telling their friends what a fine pa*
^ ~ 1 ? ? ? " J 4 V 1 * T- / % f /N to L'O

their visitors to the county newspaper
office and explain to them how
much better office their towq has
than other places. But they seem
to forget that it takes money to have
a fine paper and a fine office. They
also neglect to take into consideration
that newspaper equipment has
to be bought out of prifits, and that
a fair profit must be charged on everything,
advertising, subscriptions and
job work, in order to have money to
put into equipment. In other words,
a good many folks want a good printing
office in town, but they don't
want to give the printer any profits
when it comes to their own work.
If they can save a dollar or two a
year by sending their work elsewhere
they don't hesitate to do it. The average
county newspaper spends, we
should say, at least 90 per cent, of
its total income in the home town,
and the average newspaper spends far
more in the home town than it receive
from the home town. That's
true also.
While we are rather of the opinion
that, for the most part, the tetter of
Governor Cooper in regard to the mob
rule in the state. is pretty
weak, one statement of his
was entirely to the point. That was
that the work of the officers was
hampered during the recent disturbance
over the killing of young Brazell
by the daily newspapers publish%
I ing every move of the officers. If the
: daily newspapers were so anxious
that the majesty of the law be preserved,
why was it that a dispatch
was hastened out of Savannah the
minute the officers left with the two
prisoners? They left, as we recall,
at 1:15, and doubtless the papers
were on the streets and sold before
the officers reached Charleston. Likewise,
on leaving Augusta at 3:15 a.
m., the daily newspapers, or some of
them, carrying the news of the departure,
were distributed before the
officers could possibly have reached
Savannah, or scarcely any other prison.
This played directly into the
hands of the so-called mob. Our idea
of running a newspaper is that there
is news to be printed and news not
to be printed. If the daily newspapers
had been silent as to the officers
leaving Savannah with the prisoners,
doubtless they could have been lodged
in the penitentiary before the mob
members ever knew of the move, although
we see no very good reason
why the prisoners should not have
been incarcerated in Charleston as
well as in Columbia. And we do not
see any real reason wny tne omcers
should not avoid possible bloodshed,
whenever possible by outwitting the
mob. The officers would be entirely
justifiable in making a stand for the
protection of prisoners, and if they
had no doubt a good many hot-headed,
but otherwise good citizens,
would now be in their graves. As it
is, the prisoners are safe, for the
time, at least, and nobody had to be
slaved for their protection. However,
if the newspapers will again
assist the would-be lynchers by publishing
the removal of the prisoners!
from Charleston the minute it occurs, I
no doubt there will be further j
trouble, and who will be the blame;
for it? On the other hand, we do notj

seriously trouble themselves about
the punishment of mob members.
They never know who participates in j
a mob, although it generally seems,
to be a matter of pretty common j
knowledge to everybody else.

There seems to be a good deal of
doubt in the minds of your readers
about the story of "the snake sucking
the cow," (taken from the ^iken
Journal and Review) being true.
However my father, T. A. Hutto, says
he remembers hearing a similar story
in his boyhood days, from a reliable
I
person, but he can't recall the name,!
as it has been years ago. And why'
should we doubt this q,ueer story?!
Haven't you read in the 3rd chapter j
of Genesis that "the serpent wasmore
subtle than any beast of the |
fields," and behold! what a "stunt"
he pulled off when he beguiled the
woman into eating the forbidden
fruit. Perhaps he was suffering
from a "semi-famine" condition,
and is searching for "a well balanced
diet" now. Some of the "old topers"
are afraid they will find him making
insidious attacks on the "stills"
around here, or sipping from the
Jamaica ginger bottles. Wonders
never cease!
During a campaign preceding the j
election of a Missouri congressman
it was suggested that, since he posed |
as a good business man he might be j
willing to tell just what a good busi-1
ness man is. .j
"That's easy," he explained. "A!
good business man is one who can i

KEARSE
Kearse, Aug. 22.?J. F. Kearse, i
who has the honor of being the oldest
man in our section, was surprised
and delighted on the ISth instant to {
have nearly all his children and J
grandchildren and a number of other :
relatives to meet at his home to cele-1
brate his Slst birthday. About forty
guests were registered. It has beenj
said in "ye olden times" that women
I
couldn't kep a secret, but surely this;
theory has been exploded, for the1
"lady folks" in this home made all'
nreDarations for this occasion without
letting "papa" know it. About eleven!
o'clock the guests began to arrive, |
and at 1 o'clock a bountiful picnic j
dinner was served on the lawn, the j
table being adorned with a beautiful j
cake with eighty-one candles. After!
dinner the old folks told stories ofj
the long ago, while the younger ones!
indulged in games, etc., 'till the hour
of departure which came all too soon.
A number of useful gifts was given
with the lnve and esteem of the don
ors. Among these gifts was one
which the owner looks upon as especially
useful (?) this being a dainty
bottle of toilet water, which he
keeps on his mantle'piece, where he
can admire its fragrance and beauty.

The Professor's Reason.
A well-known professor went to his
club every afternoon and ordered a
glass of whiskey in the good old days.
He invariably drank it with his eyes
closed, and this little eccentricity had
been commented upon many times by
his fellow members. At last the more
I
daring of them undertook to get an :
explanation of the oft-repeated pecu-j
liarity. Approaching the professor he!
saia: xou come in nere every auernoon
at the feme hour and oi^der a!
glass of whiskey. There is nothing extraordinary
in that, but do tell us
why you close your eyes when you
drink it."
"Well, "said the professor, "it's like
this; when I see a glass of whiskey it
makes my mouth water, and I don't
care to dilute the liquor."

bitterly. "They blow out fine. The |
trouble is when I go to patch them
up."
