WILLIAM PATTERSON DEAD

William w. Patterson. aged 89 years, died Tuesday at the home of his son. Wilson Patterson. in this city. Funeral services were con ducted Wednesday by Rev. Roh- erls. and interment was made at the local cemetery.
 Mr. Patterson came here last July, from Cleveland Ohio, to make his home with his son. The old gentleman death was due. proh- ably, more to extreme age than an acute attack of disease.
 Mir Patterson was born in Europe, and came to the United States from Canada. He was a was a widower, his wife having died thirty years ago. He was father of nine children, two of whom. George and Wilson, reside in Williams; two daughters reside in Cleveland; one son in Michigan; another in Orange. Texas.
 The death of this aged veteran ends long and useful existence. Volumes could he written about the good deeds of the old gentle man, if they were but known to the writer. No man of his charac- ter and temperament could remain f,r nearly ninety years on this old earth without accomplishing a multitude of good.
 To the hereaved sons and daugh- ters the NEWS extends sympathy.

Williams, Dec. 12, 70

lii1dIuS, OeC- 1A, OI EDITOR NEWS:
 Dear sir:-I would thank you fnr a few inches of space in the NEWS regarding our curfew law. Ii am not mistaken we have in his town such law: at least we hear each night promptly at nine "'clock, a whistle. the sound of which is supposed to warn the youngsters to get off the streets. So far as 1 can see this Is mere f,rmality and waste of valuable steam pressure. as 1 have never seen anyone pay any attention to it. If it is the lack of a "black snake" or "raw hide" that causes this neglect of respect for the law, 1 will gladly supply one.

Occasionally it becomes the duty of a newspaper to print news in which local people are concerned, when said local people would much rather not have anything said a bout it. But the duty of news paper is to print the news, regard less of who is concerned. If a man commits a crime it is a matter of news, and we don't generally neg lect to print such news as we can find. However, it is the policy of newspaper makers generally to throw the limelight of publicity as gently as possible on sore spots. and tell IS little real truth about he affair as possible, without mis- the truth as a whole
 In such cases the newspaper man is usually maligned when he really
 should be thanked for not telling

all he knew about the affair. A newspaper man is often accused of uutruthfulness-that he does not always tell the truth. We should say he does not always tell the truth! If he did he would only tell it in one issue, and then he'd be lingering a harp in the celestial regions before he'd have time to wash the ink off the type he printed the truth from. A news paper man need not necessarily be a skillful liar. but he must be able to dodge truth like sixty in order to preserve his hide.

The s & NJ. Lumber Company recently started a new enterprise that of making packing strips which are used in the fruit ship ping industry, especially in pack ing oranges. These strips are made in two sizes, one size being one half inch by one inch and eight feet long, and tied in bundles of fifty each. The other size is one inch square and tied in punches of twenty-five. This material is taken from the edgings which for m- erly went to the refuse burner Careful estimates show that severa thousand dollars worth of the strips can be made each year by utilizing this waste stock.

Columbia, April l5.-Governor Ansel
to-day rendered his decision in the Rich
land beer bottling case. He concludes
that the question raised is a judicial one
and that he has no right to make any
order requiring the Riohland county
board either to grant or revoke permit
for bottling beer. He puts the law ques-
tion up to the Supreme Court, refusing
to take hand in the matter.
"I am satisfied" the decision con-
cludes, "that the said board did not ,oot
wilfully, deliberately and criminally, as
alleged in the petition. 1t is to be hoped
that the parties interested may soon
obtain from the Supreme Court in proper
proceeding decision showing the proper
construction of said section &c."

Much Liquor Ordered Returned.
1.-THE State, April 18th. I

Before leaving for Cheraw last night
Hon. w. F. Stevenson, attorney for the
dispensary commission, stated that the
commission, before adjourning on Fri
day, decided to refuse big quantity of
whiskey shipments which, it was de-
cided, we're illegally purchased by the
board of directors. Something like
100000 worth of goods we're involved,
the various whiskey concerns being noti-
fled by the clerk of the commission that
these goods were here at their disposal.
The goods ordered returned were
never properly received by Commissioner
Tatum. Some of them are in ware
houses on the railroad tracks in the city
and other lots are in the warehouses at
the State dispensary, merely being stor-
age there az matter of accommodation
to the concerns making the shipments.
None of the whiskey claims have been
acted upon otherwise, and no money will
be paid out by the commission until
after the auditing committee completes
its work
