"In men whom men condemn as ill, I find so much of goodness still; In men whom MEN pronounce divine, 1 find so much of sin and blot? 1 hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1913 The "clo?e season" for com-J mencements is on. The proverbial1 'cold day in June" is here, several times magnified and repeated. The Charleston News and Courier is authority for the information that Tuesday, June 10, was the coldest day on record for that date in the history of the local weather bureau. At 9 o'clock,a. m.,a minimum temperature of 53 degrees was recorded. Postmaster General Burleson has i issued an order discontinuing the back-stamping of letters. Many of his constituents would be better pleased, no doubt, if General Burleson would do away with the requirement of front stamping them. Our views coincide with those of Editor Knight,of the Bamberg Herald, when he questions the propriety of the South Carolina Press association having as principal speaker at its annual meeting, soon to take place, Norman Hapgood, who,while editor of Collier's Weekly, slandered t ii? ? me wane WUllieu ui tnc ouuwi 1U ii n?06t outrageous manner.

The motives of both these 801 disant savants were the same?fame and filthy lucre. Both managed to separate their dupes from the coin, but whatever of transitory fame they gained soon -degenerated into ignominy.

We had hoped t<> be spared a disviission of the dispensary question through our columns this year, as our experience has been that these controversies engender bitterness and only result in each side sticking closer to its convictions. Perforce, if we allow one side a hearing, we must extend the same courtesy to the other side, and once the argu" \ f ment starts the discussion is kept up ad infinitum. However, if our readers want to air their views on the question,we will publish any article bearing thereon from either point of ivinot oal* lii\rooror fVmt I V1CH i? t iliuow uotv. <ivifv*v< ) V..v? these articles be confined to a reasonable length and the proprieties of parliamentary discussion be observed. Our space for reading matter is not unlimited and we cannot! fill up the paper with argument on ! one subject. We will also give the1 preference to original matter, as we' are Hooded from week to week with all kinds of newspaper clippings on! all sorts of subjects, most of which we cannot publish for lack of space, as we always give preference to local news matter. i STATE and GENERAL H * K 2 TOPICS E The postofficesafeat Kernereville, near Greensboro, N C, was blown open Sunday morning and $1,313 stolen therefrom, XXX An election submitting the question of "dispensary" or "no dispensary" to the people of Florence will be held in August.
