A rush of important ws that week rendered it advisable j for The State and The News and Cour- 1 ier to pool their reportorial forces, ono map taking a certain .assignment for both papers, and identical reports of the investigation, made in carbon duplicate, were furnished to and print ed bv The News and Courier and The State. Every newspaper man, as well as every layman at all familiar with methods of work on newspapers, knows that with a paper printing such a volume of m ws as The State do<'s tbe responsible editor cannot pretend to read what goes into the news col umns before it is minted. For that reason, it is perfectly understood that a Panel of this class speaks only through its IRorials Particularly lias this been know of The State and again it has been porters and corrt structod to furnish news’ that the ell- tor alone speaks for The State. That reference to the glass compa ny was not known by the editor of The State to have appeared in this naner until The Spartanburg Journal, Hns. H. Henry, editor, quot <1 The i re- i Knew the Surfieon Was Working Give Her Relief. (Our Dumb Animals.) A veterinary surgeon who had won renutation, was once summoned to at tend Hebe, a favorite elephant who hurt her foot. She was a splen- bad . did creature and worth a small for tune. Hebe had stepped on a nail or a bit of iron, and it had penetrated the tender part of her foot. She was in intense agony—almost wild with pain. ‘ Long before we reached the en closure in which she was kept we could hear her trumpeting,” says the surgeon in telling of the experiment, "and when we entered we found her on three legs, swinging the sore foot backward and forward and uttering long cries of anguish. The keeper H* afraid of her, Hebe’s felt up State as "saving ' the Columbia com- nanv was onlv exercising shrewd bus iness management, and charging The State with defending grafters and in sinuatin''' that the editor had personal financial interests in bolstering the glass company. The Spartanburg pa nel- never mention''-’ the identical report in Tbe News and Courier. The State had several weeks b-d'ore been instrumental in exposing the deal bv which The Journal, then anti-dis- I'ensary. sold all the influence? its news columns could command, while becom ing as editorially mild as a sucking dove to Spartanburg dispensaryites. Th'- defense of The Journal at the said: Don’t got sense.’ But I own that I rather queer and shaky as I won to the huge beast. “The men employed about the show came around us curiously as I bent published that re- | down to examine the foot.

He said a tew words in some lingo, evidently intend ed for the elephant’s understanding only. Then he shouted with the ut most coolness, ‘Cut away!’ "Well. I made one gash with 'ho knife.

A mass of fetid matter followed the knife: the abscess was lanced. We sprayed out the foot, packed it and hound ii up.

That’s the sober truth.” honesty in one breath and advo cates dishon- sty in the other."

July 17.—l^ast Sunday was Children’s Day at Goucher. and although the day was cloudv. with occasional showers, the pimple came all the same, and a crowded house iw the exercis s most beautifully r rried out. ,The crowd was mo®t or- deily and the represented Gaffn-ev. Spartanburg. Corinth. Paco, let. Ravenna, Asbury, White Plains, and all ottr surrounding territory. The first thing was marc hi eg. and after filling up the large space in front of the pulpit with the children, they sang "Sowing in thi- Morning,” foliov d by prayer by Rev. F. C. Kick- son, pastor of the church. The children all carried out iheir parts well, and we think Misses Addle Brown, Pauline Pettit, Ella Brown and Minnie Burgess deserve a lot of praise for their faithful work in train ing the chib , "''n who made the exer cises a successful and enjoyable oc casion. The “Motion Song.” sang by Miss Ella Brown and acted by the child ren. was the best acted part of the exercises, and as all these children we*-- small they did credit to their Sunday school teacher Miss Ella Brown and Mr. M. W. Brown had offered a prize to the two hesr speak ers. one for a boy and one for a girl. Carville ChaJk, who made opening address, won the boy’s prize, while Miss Bertha Burgess, leader of the “Homeward Bound" piece, won the girl's prize. Little Lor-tm Thomas, only seven years old. sang sweetly, "Yes, Jesus l/ives Mi'." One fact that, was missed by manav (and your correspondent being one of them) was the sweet face of Master Horace Go forth, Marc who. it 1 Into II be ictt r remembered, world last leasing a lot of people, to let me ii< ir of it esn’t bother me a p:u- ilifferent with you. v n’t the artistic tem- Tho choir rendered some beautiful music, which added considerably to the occasion. A quartette. "When the Ransomed Get Home,” by Misses El la Brown. Eva Bureess and Messrs. 'I. W. Brown and W. W. Green, was a special feature of the music. The exercises were managed by Mr. T. 0. Chalk, former pastor of the Goucher school. Alt r the children had fin ished the exercises dinner was an nounced, and a very fine one was spread under the trees in the beauti ful grove surrounding the church. Af ter being well fed all returned to the church, where Rev. F. G. Hickson preached an excellent sermon. The Ledger was ably represented by Mr. J. Brian Bell, the news editor of that publication, who was fur nished with a copy of the program of the day's proceedings. One thing no ticeable of the crowd was the good, jolly number of candidates, who were greeting their friends. Sheriff W. W. Thomas, Clerk of Court J. Eh. Jeffer ies, Treasurer W. Harry Gooding, and Auditor W. I>. Camp were pres ent, shaking hands and making new acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Felix Lipscomb, of G iffney, spent last Sabbath her . tak ing in the Goucher services. Messrs. B. B. Goforth and G. ('. Kirby, of Gaffney, spent last Sunday at Goucher, where they took in all the Children's Day exercises.
