If a historian can change the statement of a fact in order to ■ell his book, even In South Car lins, then what aasurance have we that he has not changed other equally mportsnt facts to sell his book in other places. This brings tip the question as to how much of Bill Nye had the truth well told when he said: “A man may use a wart on the back of his neck for a collar button, ride In the back coach of a railroad train* to save interest on hla money till the con ductor gets around, stop his watch at* night to save wear and tear, leave his *T* or •T' without a dot or cross to save ink, pasture kis mother’s grave to save corn, but S man of this sort is a gentleman and a, scholar compared to the fellow that will take a n wspaper two oV three years and when asked to settle for U puts It into tke post- office and has It marked “refuted/' Wr weald like to laqairtf where is the majesty of the law?

Surely there ard enough mbn to bo gotten in Walter- borq or Colleton county to enable a court of law to pursue Its work unmolested by thoae who ' would trample all law under foot? Havo we reached a state of outlawry? Where la the power of the law to enforce its decrees? . la there such a thing as contempt of a magis trate’s court? Why did not Judge Chaplin rule those guilty of disturb log his court for contempt and have them put In Jail? He had the power surely. Then where la the boasted power of the government of the town of Walterboro, thsf-auch violation of the town’s ordinances could occur a-nd hsve nothing done to prevent It? Why were not those guilty of breaches of the peace arrested as they deserved to be? What pro tection* hsve the ettisens of the town in their persons or property If such flagrant violation of law is allowed? Had one or two arrests followed the flvst outbreak, there would have been no second. Did the Chief of Police need help? Did he not have authority to Impress cltlsena of the town to come to hia ; . o aid? Must the town be given up to lawlees characters, ar<d the citi- tens left to protect themselves? Fortunately no lives were lost Mon day. but this Is due rather to a merciful providence, and not to the officers of the law, to whom peace ful and law-abiding citizens look fo protection. The above la not written for the purpose of giving offense to any one, but we feel that it is our duty to point out the consequences of this lax method of enforcing law.

NOTICE OF ADDITIONAL TAX We feel constrained this week to comment editorially on several phases of the Greoe church-Zeig- ler affair. On May 14, while ser vices were going on at Grace church an Advent church, located three miles from Wnlterboro, it is alleged In the warrant that L. H. Zelgler, who was under the Influence of liquoc went to the chqrch with the ostensible purpose of horse- whlpplEg the minister. Rev. J. J. Willlnms, his reason being that Rev Ht'tlltama had performed the cere* money that married bis sou during his absence. The members of the church succeeded in closing the doo and Rev. Williams made bis es cape. Zeigler in the meantime was very noisy and profaN*^ break- lag up the service. His son, Wil lie, also joined In the demonstra tion. Rev. WiHiams and the offi cers of the church came to Walter boro the nett day and entered suit against Zetnter, and hia ton, Willie, before Judge Bryan. Both aides employed counsel, the plaintiffs se curing the services of M. P. How ell. K»q . and the defendants, Jos. M. Moorer, Esq., of the firm of Ps-Jgett, Letnarks A Moorer. The first move fay the plaintiff’s was to remove the case from Judge Bryan, Judge Chaplin being centered upon as the magistrate desired. The next step was a mistake of Judge Chap- Un'a constable aa to the time for summoning witnesses. Friday Ju ly 14th gas then set as the day for trial aad on that day. by request A word In reference to the part the editor was forced to play In the day’s proceedlrws. Following our duty as we saw it, we publish ed the story of the difficulty at the church, which waa a piece of news which we had entered Into a con tract with our subacrlbers to give them. That It was not agreeable to some was no concern of ours. Had we been deterred from publish ing it on that account, we would have proven recreant to what we conceive to be our duty There wm nothing personal in the publi cation of that story—there never Is in any news story, and why should there be? That we should have become Involved In a person al difficulty Is decidedly unpleas- r-nt to us; It Is a kind of notoriety we do not desire: but there are bounds beyond which we cannot al low anyone to go. and maintain* • feeling of self respect. In defense of our honor and our duty we were drawn Into a difficult", aad If the s*4iie result foklows again we shall still do what we conceive to be right, as wejiave done in writing this editorial. Meanwhile, we ask a-galn. Who governs In Walterboro—the majesty of the law or the lawless? Will the town officials make life and per son safe in Walterboro. or will they abdicate in favor those who have no regard for law adn order? We shall see. We trust, however, that the result of Monday’s rioting will cause an a.waker4ng along these lines. l,et us reassert our belief in, and allegiance to, the majesty of the law.
