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

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

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.

The following unsolicited testimonial
should certainly be sufficient to
