"In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still;
In men whom MEN pronounce divine,

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? ?

to be reminded of these things?

really harmed no one, while the
former, it seems, preyed upon the
credulity of one of the most pathetic
classes of human beings ?victims of
the "great white plague". 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. There

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.

A Freak Governor.
Two weeks ago Gov Blease discharged
all the whisky constables in
Charleston and Columbia; now he is
appointing an additional whisky constable
in Columbia every time the
police of that city arrest his negro
chauffeur for driving his (the Governor's)
automobile through the
streets at a rate of speed that threaton#
the lives of women and children.
Artemus Ward said that his monkey
was "an amoosin' little cuss, 'cause
nobody never could tell what it would
do next." Sometimes one is induced
to think it is about the same way
with the Governor of South Carolina.?
