THE TREND OF THE
TIMES.
The trend of the times in to
wardsceutralization. Instead of
government by the people we
note a rapidly growing senti
ment in favor of government by
the few. Against this sentiment
we want to enter a vigorous pro
test, as the fostering of it, and
submission to it cunuot but re
sult in the breaking down of our
republican form of government,
and the destruction of civil
-liberty.
One of the greatest evils which
we are now lacing is Government
,by injunction , and we regret to
have it to say that our Governor
is at the head of the forces that
are leading the way to the adop
tion of this pernicious method of
government. He has receutly
,had enjoined a number of busi
ness houses in Charleston aud
vicinity without a shadow of
trial because of the suspicion that
the proprietors were conducing
blind tigers. A well established
principle in law is that every
man is considered inuocent un
til he is proved guilty, but iu the
case of these Charleston people,
Governor Ansel and his Attor
ney General, have assumed that
they are guilty, and have so ad
judged them without trial.
Those ruling our courts are
as much to blame for tnis grow
ing state of affairs as are the
.Governor and Attorney General.
Without their connivance or Ob
sequiousness, government by in
junction would be impossible.
We want the practice stopped
right now. No man is safe.
Even we are not safe because of
the fact that occasionally a
friend or so come into our office
to tuice a drink. Any enemy of
ours, aud we can boast of not a
few, can go before a judge and
tie up our business on the ground
that we are running a bliud
tiger, a gambling den or some
other kind of an immoral place,
when nothing is further from
our thoughts. No, the thing
won't go. If wo are to continue
in the good old way, let Gov
ernor Ansel have those tempo
rary and permanent injunctions
dissolved aud promise not to do
so any rnofo. Ho tnay have
right on his side, and we assume
that he has, but there is a right
way and a wrong way to do
things, and we do not hesitate j
to say that in the instances
quoted, Governor Ansel has gone
at it in the wrong way. We
want nothing to do with govern
ment by injunction. If anyone
is suspected of crime, we have
regular avenues by which the
suspected party may be con
victed or acquired. I
CHANGES IN ADVER
TISEMENTS.
It will sound a little strange
to some that a publisher will
recommend to his advertising
patrons frequentchanges in their
advertisements knowing the ex
tra woric it will entail upon his
printers. Wo however strongly
urge this course upon our adver
tisers if they would secure the
best results from their ads. If
you have a bargain in any arti
.cle you have to sell, have it
promiuontly displayed in your
weekly ads. If you have re
duced the prico of any article of
common use, tell the people
about it. General advertising is
good enough in its way, but it
doesn't go far enough. We fre
quently hear the remark that ad
vertising does not pay, and to
this remark from some people
^ve say, AMKf4, for they goat
?U 1Q ibe wrung way. In ttie
first place, these (leople adver
tise sporadically. Tbat is tbey
place an ad for a month and
then take it out, afterwards
taking it out cussing the news*
papers because the ad didn't
pay. Of course it didn't pay.
Those kind of ads never pay. It
is only by persistent advertis
ing that any money is made by
an investment of this kind.
In the second pluce, numbers
of those who do persistently ad
vertise, allow the same ad to
stand for months. This class of
ads do not pay as they should.
The people become used to
them, and do not give them the
attention that a fresh ad every
two weeks would attract. Bold
display, and a change in ud every
two weeks, which every pub
lisher allows, always brings re
sults, and if advertisers would
recognize the fact, we would
hear no more of these complaints
that ADVERTISING DOESN'T
PAY. ?
INCENDIARY FIRE
VISITS CAMDEN.
Two Mysterious Conflagra
tions Late Sunday Af
ternoon.
Camden, Oct. 13. ? Camden was
visited by what appeared to be
two incendiary tires this after
noon iu rapid succession. At 6
o'clock au alarm was sent in
from box 27, corner Broad and
DeKulb streets. A negro cabin
in Rich lajae was burned, and,
although both wagons Nos. 1
2 responded promptly, the efforts
of No. 1 were sulfcicnt and the
blaze was con lined to the cabin,
where the tire origiuatcd, al
though there were three others
iu close proximity. A colored
man had moved some of Ins
household goods into this cot
tage yesterday and although he
and some frieuds had been in
the house during the day there
had been no one there for several
hours.
Wagou No. 2 had been in its
house probably 15 minutes aud
No. 1 was just going into its
headquarters wheu an alarm was
sent in from 27, the same box.
This conflagration required the
earnest united efforts of both
fire companies as it started in a
from warehouse in the rear of
the Zeuip store aud in a few
minutes had spread to the frame
warehouse bade of the Commer
cial bauk.
The dispensary warehouse was
in danger for a while and caught
several times, but the wind shift
ing to the south seut the flames
on to the Geisenheirmer ware
house, which, however, was
seved by hard work on ilie part
of the fire cotnpauies.
Just below this warehouse, ou
Springs & Shannon's cotton
platform, were about 100 bales
of cottou. In a few minutes
25 of those were blazing but
were saved.
The Geo. T. Little livery
stables were in iraminont dan
ger at one time, but were not
seriously damaged.
Coming so close together, on
Sunday evening, the fires ap
peared to be of incendiary origin.
There was probably full insur
ance. ? The State.
SIXTEEN YEARS OLD AND
NEVER SAT ALONE.
A Carolina Parent Has a
Child For Kxliibition.
Columbia, S. C., Oct- 8. ? Z. W.
Wooten a Kershaw county far
mer living near Camden, is here
trying to make arrangements
to exhibit during fair week a
queer human freak of nature,
the subject being his own 16
year-old daughter.
"She is well developed, well
formed, of good sight and good
hearing, but she hasnever suck
led, never talked, never walked,
never sat alone and never
chewed a mouthful of food.
Raised her on liquids," said he,
spelling off her accomplish
ments and wonders.
Mr.. Wooten says he has spent
all his possessions raising the
child and is now trying to make
a living by exhibiting her. So
lar he has not been able to raise
the necessary cash to conduct
the show, ntid says he has too
much ptido to make the exhibi
tion unless he can do so pro.
