Tuesday and Friday, *d. H. DeCamp, Editor and Publisher, J. Brian Bell, New* Editor. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Republican bluff works first rate in political matters, sometimes. but somehow it does not seem to make the dirt fly” at Panama. • * • The Armour trust was brought to its knees by a competitor, but lifted up with care by the Roosevelt admin istration and given^half the swag Now that the president has $25,000 for traveling, the railroad agents are enticing him with all kinds of tales about bears and other game in far distant States. Last year when they had to carry him on a free pass they reported but little game and that very wild and uncome-at-able. Considering that the administra tion has had full swing at Panama and nil the monev it asked for for over tw ^ years, it is rather disheartening to hear Secretary Taft say the Amer- icar> neople are in too big a hurry to see the dirt fly. # # 0 The Maryland terrapin trust has had a bad jolt in Pennsylvania, where the attorney-general has decided that snapping turtle is not terrapin. Thus Is public opinion, even in that trust- ridden State, compelling the Republi can officials to discover that trusts exist. • • • The papers are still throwing bou quets at Charleston, and this notwith standing the fact that it’s nearly a month since the meeting of the press association at tAe' Isle of Palms. By' George, it seems that some of them got intoxicated sure enough. But we would not withhold anything frojn dear old Charleston, nor her good peo ple. Surely they deserve all the good things that can possibly be said of them, and we don’t care what is said, we endorse it. • * * Attorney-General Moody has been forced to admit that Judge Parker’s c-^tention that all the laws under which the Federal government has prosecuted the trusts and corpora tions existed prior to 1904. Will President Roosevelt and Secretary Cortelyou also acknowledge that Judge Parker is right, or will they still ’env it. as was the case about his other charge that the corpora tions were contributing to the Roose velt campaign fund in 1904, which has also been proven, but never acknowl edged. * • * Such disturbances as that at Ma bry’s Mill and that one in the city Saturday night are sincerelv regret ted by every man and woman who has the welfare of the community at heart. It does seem that decent white men would learn to curb their pas sions and refrain from indulging in such unseemly conduct. It Is such things as these that give Gaffney undesirable notoriety. It may be and W' indulge the hope, that they are only electrical storms that will clear the atmosphere. “Let us have peacf^” were the words of Grant to Lee, and we borrow them as a closing appeal for the welfare of our com munity. • • • The Columbia Record asks the law yers of South Carolina not to vote for Lyon, saying that he had no experi ence before the Supreme Court, and, in fact, no practice in the lower courts. The lawyers of Abbeville en dorse Lyon and praise his ability in a signed letter, but as yet we haven’t seen where The Record has been fair enough to retract its statement. My! niy! the length to which these dis pensary papers will go! It’s amazing to see men stoop so in the advocacy of a cause. Under no other circum stances can we conceive of Paul Brice bein 0 ' so unfair. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. W. E. Phillips was a Ledger visitor yesteroay. W. R.
