KINGSTREE-THE GATEWAY
TO OPPORTUNITY.
THURSDAY. MAY 18. 1911.
A daily paper has been started
at Belton, an ambitious burg l>etween
Columbia and Greenville
with aln>ut two thousand population.
Another instance of a maximum

The Charleston News A* Courier's
staff correspondent, Mr S E Bone}',
who "covered" the corner-stone
assignment here Monday, handled
the subject admirably in every detail.
So far superior to any attempt
^ qi our part to do justice to the occasion
is his article that without
L apology we present it in full to our
readers. ________

? It isn't worth while getting
excited over the decision of the
United States supreme court dissolving
the Standard Oil Trust
until we see what the effect of
the decision will l>e as to fixing the
...V. price of oil to the consumer.
It will be a barren victory if
kerosene oil advances a hundred
per cent, within the next year.
Nearly every State institution
investigated discloses "disgraceful
conditions," according the investigators;
yet almost without ex_
ception the report concludes with
the apologetic assurance that no
blame is attached to any of the
Li . ? , ,j
nonora uie ^uticiucn m vnu?bv V/*
the institution. If the alleged
disgraceful conditions really obtain,
the blame should l>e fixed upon
some person or persons who can
be held responsible. Why not
expose the derelict officials?
" !
^ Quite by accident we learned/
that our city fathers have recent-!
iy passed an ordinance forbid-!
ding the use of the cement sidewalks-for
any sort of vehicle or
wheeled conveyance except baby
carriages. This Is as it should
be, but we submit in all fairness
t. that some published notice should
have been given in addition to
the mere spreading ot the ordinance
upon the records. For the
benefit of the way-farer we call
attention to this ordinance, but
really the town of Kingstreo ought
K'
iL'
t?> publish tin* nn?iv ini^x?rt;iut
ordinances, and also render an
aeeount of receipts and disliursements.
The people have the right
to know where their money goes.

Editor Florence Times: -Just before
the war began an incident occurred
in the halls of Congress which. |
although a boy, I remember in part;
very well, to wit: Preston Brooks, a
member from Edgefield, S C, and j
Charles Sumner, a member from!
Massachusetts, got into some trou-|
ble and Brooks gave Sumner a can- j
ing. The incident gave rise to a lot
of gossip and perhaps much trouble.
Immediately afterward boys in the
South were named Preston Brooks, J
and in the North they were called j
Charles Sumner.
I noticed a few days ago the marriage
of Senator Tillman's daughter j
to Mr Charles Sumner Moore, of j
Northern extraction. That's all i
right,and everybody is perfectly sat-!
isfied, and all are concluding that the
North and South are being more1
closely united as the years roll on. |

We were blessed with a small rain
but it did very little good, as the
wind dried the ground quickly Sunday
morning. Unless we get more
rain soon there will be very little
crop around here. In seme places
there are not one-half stands of
cotto.i and corn and what is there is
dying for want of moisture.
Some one broke into the depot
here Friday night and carried off
five gallons of whi:3ky.
