THURSDAY. MAR. 5. 1914. Hartwell M Ayer. We learn with surprise and regret that our friend, Hartwell M Ayer, editor of The Florence Times, daily and weekly, year in and year out, J for the past decade and a half, has < given up his position and that the < paths his willing feet have trod! shall know him no more. No' man could do or be concerned '" oa ff/lifnr A vor 114 iV? uiail^ uuugo CVO XJV4AVV1 iiJVl lent his energy and personality toward their up-building or their undoing?according to his standards of right or wrong?without arousing strong antagonism and, mayhap, making serious blunders. As we understand the situation, the trouble with our friend was that he, by the prompting of his big heart, tried to do too much; and it is a well known fact that a man who gives his services free and without price, is apt to find his work unappreciated and misunderstood. Editor Ayer is a born newspaper man,as is demonstrated by the difficulties which he surmounted in mak ing a daily paper a success in a restricted field,when the experience of so many others in similar circumstances has been disastrous. It may sound paradoxical; but, as a matter of fact, Mr Ayer has achieved a personal success out of failure. The city of Florence owes much to him?more than the present generation can realize. But when it comes to the filial reckoning up of 1 those who wrought most for their 1 I city and community, who can say ( but that, like Aboil Ben Adhem's, < Hart well M Ayer's name "led all the rest"? 1 ? 1 Sifting it down, the main charge ' against Dr Eleanor B Saunders, the j lady physician at the Hospital for 1 the Insane, seems to have been too j much outside cooperation. i The Columbia State says: "Dr Anna Shaw pleads that her bad ankle prevented her attending a birthday party; but that's a lame ex- ' cuse." No doubt about being a lame excuse, but all will have to admit I that it is a valid one.?Orangeburg I Times and Democrat. < From this angle of observation, it ' looks like an invalid excuse. i Five hundred pupils marched , out of a public school building in j Atlanta, Ga, Monday, when an alarm of fire was sounded, marching in perfect order to the stirring strains of "Dixie," played on a V * *" * * piano by one of the "pupils while I panic threatened. The good old ' tune has a wonderful effect on men, . ? women and children. In this instance it led the children out of the tire; yet, as thousands of our ven- . erable men who followed Lee and ' Jackson and their lieutenants, will affirm, in those strenuous days it , led men out of the pleasant zone of safety into a torrid zone of fire a ' little less than Inferno. A wonderful tune is "Dixie." A MOST REMARKABLE SCENE. Governor and Two Representatives Almost Come to Blows. Columbia, March 4: ?Perhaps the most remarkable scene ever enacted on the floor of the House of Representatives of South Carolina was witnessed tonight. The Governor of the State was literally pulled out of the House with his coat off ready for the fray. He was mad through and through and made frequent use of the lie and whatever occurred to him. There came near being two real fights. The main attack?and it was red-hot until it sizzled?was di- " rected against Mr W F Stevenson, 1 who stood his ground and made it plain that he did not apologize for ^ -~ ?A-1--? Ua Un/] wAnlitr OOirl in fViQ ailY tiling IJC nau i *rauj oaiu tu wuv. debate on the Asylum issue. After the sizzling message delivered from the speaker's stand by the Governor in person, and when he was retiring from the hall, Mr Stevenson wanted to meet him and tell him that he wished to make it plain that he had not apologized, for he had nothing for which to apologize. Friends thought there was to be a fight, for the challenge had been made, and the Governor pulled off his coat, and friends pulled at him and Mr Stevenson, and the Governor was literally carried out of the House and down to the executive chamber, while Mr Stevenson was held. He said that he had no idea of picking a fight, but that he could have taken care of himself. Besides Mr Stevenson the Govero nrntoct ncrainsf" Mr ? iiui uai uv&v.u u vw^v wp,?...ww ? ? N B Barnwell, of the Charleston * delegation, who had also been quoted in connection with the debate on the resolution relative to the Asy- * lum investigation. \t one time he * said he would attend to Mr Barn- ; well later on, and referred to him 1 as a "Haskellite." After the Stevenson issue Mr * Barnwell arose and asked for a ' ruling as to whether the speech of the Governor was really a message, ? as he understood from the constitu- 1 tion that a message should be either c upon the "State or conditions of the * State or upon expedient legislation," t and that the speech was neither. Thereupon the Governor said: e "Cowards always hide behind tech- 8 nicalities." Mr Barnwell, who had been standing at his desk, immediately started for the Governor and said: "Well, t we will settle this right now." y TIL /-I 1 ?;ii; J . ine vjovernor seeiucu wiuiuk nuu c Mr Barnwell was fast getting to- a wards the Speaker's stand; in fact \ he was on the steps when he was I tugged back by his friends, and r soon fifty members were around I trying to quiet things. Mr Barn- h well returned to his seat upon the 1j persuasion of his friends and both a he and the Governor agreed that d they would be willing to meet each other at any time and "handle it."

It is intimated in the maledictory and generally understood hat discord arose in the company >ver the course of the paper on nany local questions, and that the itockholders insisted on a "buy out \r spIi nut" nronosition. The Times company is capitalized it $25,000, many business men of he city being interested. Mr Ayer leld a majority of the stock issued ind Mr Evans now purchases a conrolling interest. Mr Ayer says that he has not deermined his future course, but )romises continued work for those mnciples which, he considers, make or the betterment of the communty. He will continue to manage he paper for Mr Evans until Mr Svans is ready to assume charge limself.
