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

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."

EDITOR FLORENCE TIMES QUITS.
/eteran Newspaper Man Descends
from Editorial Tripod
Florence, March 2:?The Florence
rimes this evening announces that
iartwell M Ayer has disposed of
he bulk of his stock in the recently
'ormed company to James D Evans,
ittorney of this city, who will be
;he active head of the paper hereifter,
Mr Ayer retiring from the
nanagement of the paper and the
lirectoratfe. 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.
Mr Ayer has edited The Times j
ilmost continuously since 1900, when ^
t was a weekly, and has built up j;
>ne of the most successful dailies in f
he South. The Times was changed c
o a daily in 1903. c
The announcement causes consid- *
I
rable comment, as it came as a j
urprise to the community.
