I find so much of sin and blotto 1 hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." THURSDAY. OCT. 9. t913 "Fiat Justitia." Whether or not the charge.- against Solicitor Singleton,of Horry county, f had any foundation in fact, we, of; course, are unable to say, as the t 4 grand jury found no bill" against jp> him and the case did not come to r trial. We wondered somewhat why it was necessary to drag the prosecu trix into court by means of a bench warrant, but the statement of Attorney Woodward, which we repro?? duced from his paper, the Horry Herald, last week.throws some sidelights on the matter. Mr Woodward, it is stated, was retained by the prosecutrix to represent her in court, but Attorney General Peeples, acting instead of Solicitor Single ton, requested the Horry attorney to have nothing to do with the trial except as an onlooker, whereupon Mr Woodward very naturally withdrew his connection with the case. Meantime the woman who alleged that Solicitor Singleton assaulted her and who was at the bedside of her sick husband.himself a material i witness, was haled More the grand ^jury practically without counsel and ^O^ered to give her testimony. With flip Att/n-npv (rpnerfll who renre sented her, as she claimed, in sympathy with the defendant and her own lawyer out of the case, is it to be wondered at that the poor woman was ready t<5 drop the matter? There in the court room were seated such eminent personages as Governor Blease, who appointed Mr Singleton to succeed the late Solicitor Wells; F H Dominick, Esq, Governor Blease's former law partner, now assistant Attorney General, and George R Rembert, Esq, the Governor's floor leader in the House of ?n ;+ Tvepreseiuuuvcs, iiu vfi nnum, iv ay-j pears, were present as friends of the defendant. It would have been about as well, perhaps, had the Solicitor been allowed to prosecute himself. ___________ Eighteen cent cotton is predicted by spring, but fourteen cents now isn't at all bad. Governor Blease evidently believes in the legal maxim, Hcaviat emptor " when it applies to horse traders. Newspaper head-line: "Taper Money Scarce." That describes our predicament. Money for buying print paper and money for ovex-due obligations ? all very . jcarce. ; The people of Barnwell County' niii-t have acquired a prodigious1 thirst during the four years prohibition regime; it is reported that ; eleven dispensaries will opened in the count v. _ Some people have very little ' patienee. Fur instance, a Norfolk, i Virginia, man <-ighty-one years old committed suicide a few days ago. Had lie waited a little while the Grim Reaper doubtless would have taken the job off his hands. A suffragette complains that history being written by man discriminates against women. Why not let Mrs Emiline Pankhurst, lor some other "votes for women" leader, write the story of the old world from woman's standpoint and name it "herstory"? Gabe Proctor of Oklahoma, an Indian, has been appointed registrar of the United Spites treasury I to succeed J C Napier ofTennes-| see, a negro. Why not give this responsible and lucrative' position to a white man, under a Democratic [administration, we wonder. Having failed to land his candidate in the office of .District Attorney, Senator Tillman has introduced a bill in the Senate providing for two Federal districts in South Carolina. Tillman's man must have an office, it seems, even though one has to be created for him. Teddy Roosevelt, of "the big stick," has again shaken the dust of civilization from his feet and fared forth in quest of adventure, this time to the wilds of South America. No doubt the Progressive leader will turn up with a brass band and plenty of red fire in ample time to get the nomination for President again. The "Rough Rider" has no idea of getting out of the lime-light if doing spectacular stunte will keep him there. To what lengths notoriety-seeking people will go is. strikingly demonstrated in the case of Myrtle Hamilton, a fourteen-year-old girl of Jerseyville, Illinois, who reported to the police that two men had held her up and cut off her beautiful, long, auburn tresses. When bloodhounds were brought to V, o eWorld tVi?>v fnllmvad thf> trail to I Miss Hamilton herself, who then confessed that she had severed her own golden locks just to create a sensation. Suppose this incident had taken place in the South and the two men charged 1 with the offense had been negroes. I Probably before the mischievous young woman was made to confess, the men would have been strung up. ===== 1 Some of the correspondents to ' The County Record, of Kingstree, i have been criticising the hunters of ' this county, and claim that killing < of deer is a violation of the law. < They are mistaken, the open season ! for deer in this county began on * September 1.?Manning Times. Our contemporary doubtless re- i fers to the editorial paragraph relative to the killing of does which * t appeared in a recent issue of The t Kecora. uur recollection is that ( the game law enacted in 1909 1 (we believe it was) prohibited the killing of does at any season. \ On looking into the matter, however, we find that a new game law was made in 1912, which x restricts the killing of deer to < the period between September 1 1 and January 1, Without any reference to does; hence it seems j \ \ that the old law i< repealed and tlu' does an- not spn-iallv protected under the new law. ? From Missouri. Out in Missouri they have been building roads in a most unprecedented and highly indefensible manner. The Governor called for volunteers, of whom 250,000 responded, i with the result that 100 miles of good roads were built in two days at an estimated saving to the State of $1,500,000. Missouri is certainly trying to "show us," but if we're wise we'll take no notice of it whatsoever. That's no way to build roads. The way to build roads is to begin with a ln?? or/) Koofor) nomnoim kos/lo/l ! lung anu ii^ov^u ^aiupoi^u uwnuvu by well-trained oratorical candidates expatiating patriotically upon every possible con and pro. Following this should be bond issues, advertising for bids, letting contracts, levying taxes, assessing taxes, gathering taxes, paying out taxes, creating sinking funds and perhaps rebuilding the roads before the original bonds are paid off. In addition to a modicum of graft at every step of the way, there must be legitimate profits all along the line to financiers, furnishers of raw material, lawyers, contractors, political bosses, ward heelers, etcetera. The whole nicely trimmed with a plenitude of nolQTror norlov nlotitnHo o n H nrflftlp K"'" * <-1 ?UU F*?.VWV. of patriotic purpose. Missouri's method .is altogether too primitive and uncivilized. It would be positively fatal to do things in such a simple and direct way. Evoliition would be running on four flat tires in no time.?Life. Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines. If you want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia use cough medicines that contain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatives whpn vou have a coucrh or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases. That is why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. It has a world-wide reputation for its cures. It contains no morphine or other sedative. For sale by all dealers, adv Our Generoms Governor.** ) Columbia, September 27: ? Gov Blease has pardoned Frank Stone of Laurens, convicted of obtaining money under false pretenses. The indictment arose out of a horse trade,and the prosecutor claimed the defendant put off a blind horse on him. Governor Blease in pardoning Stone said the prosecutor should have "swallowed his medicine like a man." An unusual attack on the Anderson police department is made by Recorder Frierson, asking for the pardon of a barber convicted of carrying concealed weapons. The barber had a razor on his person. The magistrate imposed a $50 fine after the Recorder had released the barber. "In order to spite me they had him railroaded into the county chaingang," writes the Recorder. Gov Blease pardoned the barber today. loroDic uyspeDsia.
