"In men whom men condemn as ill, I find so much of goodness still; , In men whom men pronounce divine, I find so much of sin and blot? 1 hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." THURSDAY. JUNE 26. 1913 ??????.1^??? i I ' j A Pennsylvania editor was killed , recently by his automobile colliding with a freight train. The editor of a newspaper might have known that he was inviting disaster when he got in the auto class.

L . Who Is Our Supervisor? . Williamsburg may have an election on the dispensary question in August. A petition signed by more than one-third of the voters has been forwarded to the Governor, with a request that he order the l - election. Why the petition was forwarded to the Governor we cannot . see. Our understanding of the law is the petition must be filed with the county Supervisor, and if there is the lawful number of signers he or ders the election. The Governor has nothing to do with it.?Manning Times. ?? A Timely Admonition. Editor County Record:? Now that many people are preparing to take their summer trips, I want to put in a word of warning. Let us remember in the pleasure and AYritement of it all to be very care ful not to break our Lord's command to keep His day holy. I read in the papers of so many people going on excursions on God's holy day and spending the time in worldly amusements,and I am writing to everyone concerned, but especially professing Christians. Many of us take that day, set aside for the worship of our God, to start on a journey. Would not Saturday or Monday do? How can we deliberately break His law? Christ says if we love Him we will keep His commandments. And remember that we influence others either for good or evil. A member of the church should consider under whose banner he is marching on to eternity, and whose name he bears. Our Creator placed us here to work for Him and to bear witness for Him We are not butterflies flitting about. but we are needed to help to I extend His kingdom here on earth. God is not only merciful, but He is just. M C M. If mirrors had never been invented, this world would be a sad place.

Benson, June 25:?The curing of; the bottom leaves, or, in the lan-, guage of tobacco folk, "sand-lugs", i is the order of the day here. Some farmers prime the tobacco, leaving the first cropping on the ground to decay. Quite a heavy rain fell in this immediate section Monday afternoon, with some hail,but not enough of the latter to do any considerable damage. The Benson boys are becoming much interested in baseball. They have organized two nines, one bearing the name the "Reds", the other the "Blues". They have enough boys perhaps to bring into play the "Whites" and thereby complete the popular color scheme. However, the "Reds" and the "Blues" have decided on a unique plan to keep up their enthusiasm; that is,to play sev-1 eral consecutive games and at the conclusion of the series, the team making the least number of scores will "setup" the opposing nine to an old-time chicken pilau, a la Lawyer McFadden, of tender memory. Mr John Weeks, of Aiken county, a graduate of class '13, who was chosen to deliver the annual commencement address at the closing exercises of the South Carolina Military College, was a visitor here last week. He is a brother of Mrs Samuel A McCullough. Children's day was very appropriately observed at Central Presbyterian church Sunday morning with ' selected songs and recitals by the young folk of the congregation. Mr i H C Haddock was asked to speak in the absence of their pastor. He delivered a very interesting and instructive address, taking for his theme the Bible, the word of God. J- -?...An ?Amr oftantum I i.ne auuieiiwe was vcij oikuuk I during the entire discourse.

A bill of considerable interest to the South,and South Carolina in particular, has been introduced by Senator Smith, of South Carolina,which directs the Secretary of the Treasury to deposit with the banks in the cotton-growing States the amount of money now held in the treasury accruing from the sale of cotton seized by the Federal Government after the close of the Civil war, for the purpose of financing the cotton crop. Approved security and a low interest rate will be required. Any part of this money may be recalled when cmuua axe ^xu^xij nu^uuivuvvu. Nearly five millions are now held in the treasury for seized cotton, about one-half million being accredited to South Carolina.

Provision Should Be Made to Keep Roads In Repair. Hon. Logan Waller Page, director o 1 the United States othce of public roads, believes that there is nothing more im portaut than maintaining roads aftei the.v are built. Commenting on this phase of road work, he said recently: Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of maintenance in con nection with the work of improving the roads. The people in nearly all the states are filled with enthusiasm fot road improvement and are spending enormous sums of money In the construction of superb roads, and yet almost without exception they are mak lng little provision to care for the roads after they are built This is true not i enly in the various counties, but undei many of our state highway depart[ menu. To maintain the roads in good con | dition year after year requires a con slderable annual outlay, but this outlay is infinitely less than the loss which must fall upon the people eventually il they allow their roads to go to utter ruin The thing for all advocates ot good roads to do is to urge r-oiitinuoie systematic maintenance and ihcsettfnc Hside every year of an amount pet mile estimated by the engineer ii charge to be sufficient for the propel maintenance ot the road -a eotirst which must make for economy and efii ciency.

When complete] it will have cost about $1,250, OOJ GORREIL'S WAREHOUSE Nov Ready to Receive Prtologs or First Curings. The big new warehouse on Hampton avenue, .which had its first season last year and became very popular under the management of Messrs Gass, Hopper & Gorrell, has again opened its doors and offers its spacious floors to the farmer for the reception oi nis tooacco primings. The regular daily sales of leaf tobacco will not start for a week or so yet. The date for opening of sales will be determined at a meeting of J the State tobacco warehousemen at Florence next Saturday. But as many farmers are probably anxious to get their primings or first curings out of the way, Gorrell's warehouse will,from now on, be open to receive same. This popular house will be under practically the same management this year as last. Mr 0 C Currin. one of the most famous tobacco auctioneers of the Piedmont section, will take the tilace of Mr Lee Hop per, who served as auctioneer last year. It will, as usual, be the chief aim of every ma'n connected with this house to see that its customers get the very highest price for their tobacco, and a square deal in every particular. adv-lt__ There were ?ight deaths from heat reported in Philadelphia yesterday.

XXX M L Garrett, convicted for a double murder in Lee county, who was sentenced to be electrocuted July 11,was reprieved by the Governor to July 14 last week. ^The Governor's reason for postponing the execution of this fiend incarnate is that he does not believe in inflicting the death penalty on Friday.
