"In men whom men condemn as ill, j I find so much of goodness still; | In men whom men pronounce divine, I find so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw the line Between the two-j where God has not" THURSDAY, NOV. 27. 1913.1 1 Emerson and Finley. Tuesday was a day of disaster in railroad circles, when the heads of the two leading arteries of commerce in the South crossed the Great Divide. The death of President T M Emerson, of the Atlantic Coast Line,and President WW Finley, of the Southern Railway, is more far-reaching than the immedJnin lrwao iViP Crrpjlt TililwaV SVS laiv IVOO vv V?1V v v tems with which their efficient services were identified. The death of these men,who may truly be called captains of industry, is a sad blow, not only to the section most l>enefited by their broad intelligence and masterly powers of organization, but to the whole United States, which furnishes few examples of constructive talent .supplemented by the fine judgment,energy and determination that overrides obstacles in the way of success, which marked the life-work of these master-builders. Just how much their loss will mean to their respective railway systems and to the country at large will depend in a great measure on the calibre of the men chosen to take their places at the front of forces of progress and development that must go onward, regardless of the lives and personalities of those who for a while direct their line of! march. "Lever As a Lifter." Quoth our sprightly contempora-1 ry, the Georgetown Times: "Lever O fulommi for the liftincr of HCCV.1.7 t* iViiVi v.... -v.- w ^ 4Ed' Smith out of the United States Senate." If we remember aright, Mr Lever said when he first offered for Con -' gress that "his father was a Lever and his mother was a Derrick, and between the two lie thought he could l>e lifted into the office he sought." Tiiat he was lifted,or lifted himself, k there, is a palpable fact and we do 'V* ? not think his lifting powers have been impaired with the passing years. We are thankful for being alive, when so many more worthy than j we have within the. past year slept the sleep of death. We hear frequent complaints about live-stock running at large through the streets, especially horses and mules. Better stop this practice before someone gets crippled or The New York World says that there is hig money in onions. We agree with The World; if some one : will contrive an apparatus for exj tracting the scents, the dollars will i pile up. ' We are thankful to the few subj scriliers who have been thoughtful I enough to pay their subscriptions to the paper, and we thank in advance the many who intend to pay up in the near future. ???? Governor Blease has paroled five | more convicts, bringing the total of ; the Thanksgiving list up to 105. | Perhaps he would release them all, but for the fact of that it would bring him into the lime-light too long 'oefore the election. A Lexington county jnry gave a man a verdict of $2,500 l>ecause a passing locomotive whistle caused his horse to run away in the plow and the man's collar-bone waslbroken. If verdicts of this kind were allowed to stand the railroads would soon have to go out of business.

I ' The town of Fulton, West Virginia, with three thousand inhabitants, has not a single clock or watch within its limits, according to the tax collector's report. In West Virginia, as in this State, clocks and watches are taxed as personal property when returned to the tax assessor. Ohio county, which includes the city of Wheeling, has a population Of over sixty thousand, yet only 274 watches and clocks are returned for taxatftm in the whole county.

The Manning Herald says that a friend called on the editor recently and remarked that he wished to pay his subscription to the paper for the rest of his life, thereupon handing the, aforesaid newspaper man one hundred dollars in real money. Friends like that are worth having, but it would be a mistaken kindness to bestow such munificence upon many newspaper men, for the recipients would probably drop dead from heart failure. The Record would be mightily pleaded to enter sej^ral life subscriptions at even twenty-five simoleons, but the most liberal subscriber we ever had never went beyond five dollars at a time as concrete evidence of his appreciation of the paper. =?

Mr Whltner Reld Speaks to Farmers? Neighborhood News. Benson, November 26:?Those of the community who attended the meeting at the school building Thursday evening were pleasantly entertained by Hon J Whitner Reid, secretary of the South Carolina State " T TT 1_ _ farmers union, ne spoKe very eloquently and earnestly in behalf of the re-organization of the local Farmers' Union, and placed some "fillers" on the programme between talks in the form of old-time songs with guitar accompaniment; but the disbanded members at Cedar Swamp responded not to the suggestion of 1 the State secretary. Miss Beulah Warren, one of the teachers in Cedar Swamp Graded school, Miss Grace Haddock, Messrs Hugh Tisdale and Alex Tisdale visited the City by the Sea last week , and reported an enjoyable time at j the Charleston Fair.

The stockholders of the Bank of Kingstree met at the bank here Friday and unanimously approved the resolutions adopted by the board of directors, providing for an increase in the hank's capital stock from $30>000 to ?00,000. The meeting was well attended. Already enough stock of the new issue lias lieen applied for to run the bank's capital to $100,000,if it were possible under the law to do so. The new issue was limited to each subscriber. The readiness with which this increase of ?tock has been subscribed to speaks well for the financial condition of the county and is highly significant of the excellent financial status of the institution. Monday there was a meeting of the stockholders of the Bank of Williamsburg here for the purpose of considering resolutions passed by the board of directors recommending an increase in the capital st3ck of the bank from ?10,(XX) to $100,(KX). The meeting was harmonious in every respect and the stockholders unanimously approved the recommendation of their directors by voting for the increased capitalization. The matter of converting the institution from a State bank into a National bank was deferred. This question will, however, be taken up at the regular annual meeting of the stockholders in January, 1914.

Scranton, November 24:?Mr E A Poston, of Hannah, died last Sunday after an illness of one week from pneumonia. Mr Poston was I a merchant and planter. He is survived by a wife and several children. Webb Eddy, colored, was seriously cut and stabbed in a fight here Sunday afternoon at the colored Baptist church. It seems that the "fuss" had been brewing a week and yesterday at the church, during services, Webb Eddy and two McElveen brothers left the church a short distance and became engaged in a dispute. Each side has its story; some say Eddy advanced oil the others with a stick,when all closed in and in the scuffle one of the McElveens cut his way out. A fourth party drew an axe and was going to add the "finishing touches" when a friend relieved him of the weapon. The injured man was attended by Dr Pate, and an examination revealed two ugly wounds in the back. Eddy's assailants were held for safe keeping, but later released on bond. The injured man will probably recover. Heralded as a "Hailstorm," W Powell Hale, impersonator and third number of the lyceum course, entertained a packed audience at the school house here last Thursday night. Mr Hale made a big hit in j his impersonations and elicited con- | tinual applause and laughter for one j hour and twenty-five minutes. Hebron Happenings. I Hebron.
