THE DAILY ITEM TELEGRAPAIc NEWS
SERVICE.

The Daily Item Of yesterday made
the following announcement:
After several months negotiation we
have secured for the Daily Item the
local franchise covering the afternoon
news service of the Publishers Press
Associations. the news gathering or
ganization that now serves more than
fifty of the livest and most progressive
afternoon dailies in the Southern
States and hundreds Of others in the
North, West and East. The deal was
satisfactorily concluded last week, the
contracts signed, and, beginning with
yesterday, the full press report will lbe
published daily in this paper.
The Publishers Press have represent
atives in every State and in every city
and town of any size in this country,
and in every news centre of Europe.
Their arrangements for covering the
war between Japan and Russia are as
complete as it is possible to have
them, special correspondents having
been sent to the front and others sta
toned at advantageous points for gath
ering and forwarding the news with
ont delay.
We have long desired to secure a
news service of this character, the
service We have had for the past year
being incomplete and unsatisfactory,
but the best We have heretofore been
able to secure, and in December last
opened correspondence with the Pub
lishers Press Association with the
view of securing the franchise. We
nanrally feel gratifed that our efforts
have at last been successful and that
the contamination Of our plan enables
us to give the readers of the Daily
Item news service that is the equal
of that Of any daily paper published in
a city Of the same population as Sum-
ter.

the reverse of creditable from begin
ming to end, save for the brief period
when the brave Makarof was in COM
mand: and the respect and admiration
that the world is ever ready to accord
those who bravely meet desperate
situation with resolution as desper-
ate to die in the effort to carry down
to destruction along with themselves
as many of their country's enemies
as possible, is how, in consequence
withheld from them. There is pity
for the unfortunate officers and sailors
who have met death, but Of honor and
admiration there is none.

cutive then they should quit carping
at the Governor, who now has no
more power to prevent mob murders
chan any private citizen, nor half the
opportunity to discover the identity OF
the members of mob that every resi-
dent of a community in which a mob
murder occurs possesses, and not the
hundredth part Of the responsibility
for such lawlessness that rests upon
the shoulders of the Sheriff of the
county.
AS has been we'll said, "No man
should be elected Sheriff who is not
willing to die in defense of his prison
er if need be-. Many office holders
who would be willing to face death in
defence of a prisoner or to}maintain a
principle, finch when it comes to
facing political death and defeat at
the next election. That is the weak
point of the present situation and until
the public conscience can be aroused
and public sentiment regenerated.mob
murder will continue to flourish and
men will be killed with impunity in
increasing numbers each year by mobs
unless it can be made dangerous for
the members Of the mobs that indulge
in the pastime. And it seems that the
surest means of rendering it danger
Gus to the mobs is to make the Sher-
ifs more fearful of losing Office By
removal for failure to protect prisoners
against mobs than they now are of be-
ing defeated at the polls through the
influence Of the mobs they defy and
balk of their prey.

surprise, as the majority Of Horny
comfy voters have hitherto favored
taa dispensary. But the sentiment in
HoTrg has changed, it is believed,
and the candidates are bnt rejecting

Brice bill IS, judging from the reports
Of campaign meeting in various coun-

saryites, who thought they had adroit-

fully and feasfully cognizant OF tie

South Carolina this year, but it is

notifications tend to simplify The
issue rather than to make it more
complex. The original Brice bill
brings home to the people the cues

our community or not?" And the ex
perienee of Saluda with the Stat'

The question Of holding biennial in
stead of annual sessions of the Legis-
lature is not and cannot be made an
issue in this campaign, insofar as the
candidates for the House of Repre-
sentstives are concerned. It is an
issue FOX the individual voter to de-
eide at the ballot box If the qualin-
ed electors of the State declare by
their votes that they prefer biennial
to annual sessions of the Legislature,
the members of the next General
Assembly have no option but to carry
out the expressed wish of the people.
There are important issues to be dis
cussed, SO don't side track the candi-
dates on the biennial session matter.
