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 of nerve versus a modicum of judgment. __ 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. ________ V. ? 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. j STATE and GENERAL {j H TOPICS g William Pr>>ecl<?u on nlH nPCTO. was run over and killed by a passenger train near Newberry Friday night. XXX Secretary of War Jacob M Dickinson, the Democratic member of President Taft's cabinet, has resigned. Harry L Stimson of New York, recently defeated candidate for Governor of the Empire State, has been given the portfolio left vacant. XXX Samuel Archibald Linley, a stu- j dent at the Presbyterian Theological; Seminary, Columbia, committed sui- j cide Saturday night by shooting, himself through the head with a shotgun. The deed was committed j at Mars Hill, N C, where the young i man had gone to spend the summer, j Mr Linley was a native of Anderson j county, this State, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. j A Re-united Country. 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. | "Hurrah for America."
