"In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still;
I nmen whom men pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot?
I hesitate to draw the line
Between the two?where God has not"
THURSDAY. DEO. 25.1912.
So Say We.
The Columbia State says; "It
Is understood that R H Welch,
Esq, recently elected to the legislature
. from Richland county,
?I? Unit nnnuirlpriiWc fiXTlfir
WI1U I i (I? iiau vvncivftVAMw -?y
ience in the matter of forming
new counties, will make an effort
at the next session to have
a law enacted which will do
away with many of the obstacles
that now confront the advocates
of new counties. Mr Welch
has made considerable money
acting as attorney for people who
wish to organize new counties
and we do not blame him for
wanting to make it easier to
lorm them, but the present law
saves money to the taxpayers
and it should not be changed."
So say we. Under the former
law it was a great hardship on
the taxpayers of the old county
to have to bear the expense of
holding an election on a projected
new county,. as the citizens
of the old county?except in uie
cut-off portion?have not even
the right to vote on the question
of forming the new county
from a part of its territory. If
the proponents of a new county
have faith in their project they
should be willing to pay all the
expense involved.
Governor Blease's policy seems
to be lynch the rapist, or if he
oe convicted, pardon or parole
him. ________
To celebrate Christmas, Governor
Blease turned loose seventy-nine
more convicts. The only surprise
is that he extended clemency to so
few. Why not turn them all loose
and close up the penitentiary?
The esteemed News and Herald
of Winnsboro is quite welcome
to any of our editorial
squibs it happens to fancy, but
we really think that if they are
worth clipping they should be
worth crediting.
Governor Donaghey, the retiring
Chief Executive of Arkansas,
seems desirous not only of emulating
our Governor Blease, but
of going him one letter, so to
speak. On Tuesday he celebrated
the season of. "peace on earth
and good will toward men" by
liberating three hundred and sixty
convicts. Governor Blease will
have to look to his laurels.
Those three Kershaw convicts
i
showed poor judgment risking (
their lives escaping from their '
guards recently when if they
had I?ut waited till the Christmas
holiday season they would 1
in all probability have partici
!n ?lm u'lw\liK'i1>^ delivovv

of criminals promised by the
Governor in celebration of the
festive Yuletide.
Governor Blease shows surprising
inconsistency in professing to
stand as the champion of woman's
virtue and yet drivirg them
from the hall by his coarse utterances
at the Governor's Conference.
Moreover, he seems to
l?e very greatly averse to seeing
a white man punished for rape,
whether his victim he white or
black. All of which ,?oes to
show that talk is cheap, especially
the vaporings of a demagogue.
We have long maintaired that
Williamsburg county is the pleasantest
dwelling-place "on this terrestrial
hall," and we are now more
firmly convinced than ever ol tne
fact. How any one who has ever
lived here can move away and be
contented to abide elsewhere is one
of those questions that the Sphynx
has never solved. There may be
other places as agreeable to live, and
other people as good, but we doubt
if anywhere can l>e found such an
excellent combination of place and
people.
The Chinese have a different way
of doing things from our highly enlightened
(?) methods. For examnip
thev n.*iv their Dhvsicians.not to
l'"~ 1 x?* x V - ' ,
physic them when they are sick, hut :
to keep them well; also, when a
bank fails they cut off the head of
the president of the defunct institution.
When a man gets sick he
"docks'' the doctor, whom he pays .
a yearly salary. Sickness among
the class of people who can afford to
hire physicians is said to be rare in
China, and a bank failure has been
unknown for more than a hundred
years.
Tarn alxmt's fair play, must
have thought the rabbit who
shot a hunter in New Jersey the *
other day. It sounds like a joke |
but the facts in the case are
really vouched for and the unfortunate
hunter actually died
from the effects of the wounds
received. He laid his loaded and
cocked shotgun on the ground,
while he released the rabbit, ]
which he expected to shoot from 1
a trap. The frightened animal,
when released, leaped upon the i
gun, touched off both triggers
and the double load of \shot '
J
struck the young hunter. s The
rabbit escaped. ]

If our rural schools taught how
to find the numbers of pounds of
dtrogen in a ton of fertilizer containing
6 per cent of nitrogen and
its value at 20 cents a pound, as
faithf ally as they teach how to find
the interest on $2,000 at 6 per cent,
more of our farmers would have use
for what is now taught.?The Pro

bottom of my heart." wrote C B
Rader of Lewisburg, W Va, "for
the wonderful double benefit I got
from Electric Bitter3 in curing me |
of both a severe case of stomach I
trouble and of rheumatism, fromi
which I had been an almost helpless
sufferer for ten years. It suited my
case as though made just for me."
For dyspepsia, indigestion, jaundice
and to rid the system of kidney poisons
that cause rheumatism, Electric
Bitters have no equal. Try them.
Every bottle is guaranteed to satisfy.
