Editor w. ID. Grst of the Yorkvillc
Enquirer was brutally beaten last Thurs
day by w. H. Windle, of Fort Mill,
York county, for alleged newspaper
abuse. p" With the information at hand
we cannot but believe that the attack
was wholly unwarranted and that Win
dies political acts were subject to Just
criticism. The attack Thursday makes
the third assault committed upon Mr..
Grist during the two years past, but
they have not deferred him from ex-
pressing the editorial opinions that have
made his paper among the best in South
Carolina. The manner of assault upon
the editor was most cowardly and de-
spicable, Windle using a heavy stick
although he is himself a much larger
and stronger man than Mr.. Grist; be-
sides he had three friends present to see
the thing we'll done. The dispatches
say mo arrests have been made. " This
we cannot understand. Where are the
police authorities in Yorkvillc? Can
they give no protection to citizen?

The election over business will doubt
less be resumed. Many of the obser-
want citizens state that so much inter
est in an election and such general
cessation of business has not occurred
here since 80 and '92. Well, the more
interest in elections and the political
affairs of State the better our govern
ment will be.

Bryan seems to think Mayor Rhett is
a good enough Democrat to take the
stump in the national campaign, yet
some of our people credited the charges
of John P. Grace, who was a few days
ago arrested on the streets of Charles
ton.

Attorney General Lyons name was
rather freely scratched in the election
Tuesday. 1t is almost certain that no
dispensary CRATER or blind tiger voted
for Mr.. Lyon; if so, it was with poor
grace.

concerns the public comes within it's
province to note, to criticize favorably
or unfavorably. While it gives US no
pleasure to make people angry or hurt
feelings, still if such occurs we are not
responsible. Long ago we decided that
if we expected TO do our duty by our
readers and take advantage of our pub
lie privileges we must expect to incur
the enmity of some. We are sorry
that this is the case, but it is so and
cannot be helped.

sor's plans, but we are assured he will
find the cooperation of all the people
necessity in the task that has fallen to
his lot. We believe, further, that he
will suggest the bond issue; if so, we
hope the people will meet it with their
approval. Mr.. Humbert is equal to the
occasion, but he cannot carry out his
plans, whatever they may be, without
the help of the people.
The election went Democratic.
Laurens is to be congratulated upon
the good order that prevailed on cleo
tion day. Besides, the weather was too
nasty to permit any scrapping.
Now for the election of William Jen-
nings Bryan! The only way we Lau-
rcns people can help is to contribute
money for campaign expenses. Shout
ing will not help particle.

South Carolina was fortunate in a
number of the elections last week, but
in none was she more benefited than in
the reelection of Messrs. Christensen,
of Beaufort, and Howard Carlisle, of
Spartanburg, to the State senate.
There is no better business man and
lawyer in the General Assembly than
Mr.. Carlisle, while Hon. Niels Christen-
sen is the deadly foe of the dspensary
grafters and violators of law. A hard
fight was made on these men, but it
proved of no avail.
The vote for governor would have
been quite different if the rains had not
interfered, say many. 1t is to laugh.
Laurens did something, not so much,
but something, for the Democratic
campaign fund last Tuesday night when
a large number of her best citizens paid
% cents admission to the opera house,
where the election returns were given
as they came in from the various parts
of the State. A neat little sum was
realized from the venture, and it would
have been larger but for the exceed
ingly inclement weather. The Adver-
tiscr and the campaign fund committee
extend thanks for the cooperation of
the citizens.

So after all, the shouting and yelling
at campaign meeting does not mean
so much. To have heard the crowd
here on the twenty-second one would
have estimated that Laurens county
would give the young man from New
berry majority of something like Il
thousand. But the sane judgment Of
our people generally prevails. Laurens
is to be congratulated upon the small
majority she gave Cole Blease.

The prisoners in jail will be brought to town after 1 o'clock and will be put to plea as soon as possible after court opens. Unless expectations fall through this will be long term of the criminal side. There are sixteen cases of ordinary crime and four against trolley and railroad employees in which loss of life is involved. Fisher, the en- gineer, in whose case the jury last term failed to reach verdict will be tried again, it seems, for his name is on the list. In case those who are charged with such crimes as burglary, theft and murderous assault plead guilty the term will be considerably shortened, otherwise it will be unusually long. There are twenty cases in all on the docket. Judge Joel H. Reed of Stafford Springs will preside.

TUBERCULOSIS LEAGUE
Committee Met in City Hall Yes
 terday Afternoon.

The general committee and the cen tral committee of the Anti Tuhercu- losis league met in City hall yesterday afternoon About one hundred mem- bers were present and in addition to adopting the constitution and bylaws, they discussed at length the best means of collecting money in order to carry on the fight against the white plague.
 It seemed to be the opinion of the majority of those present to have the societies collect the money, instead of each one contributing Individually. All will be asked to contribute gen. erously. Donations of any size will be accepted.
 The constitution and bylaws are as follows:
 "Section 1--The officers of this so- ciety shall consist of a president, first and second vice presidents, secretary and assistant secretary, treasurer and assistant treasurer, and an executive committee of twelve members.
 Section All members elected shall hold office until the election and qualification of their successors.
 'Section 3-Oficers shall be elected annually on the second Tuesday of De- cember, except the executive commit tee, which shall be divided into three parts and four members shall be elected each year for term of three years. Of the present committee four will serve one year, four two years, and four three years and thereafter each year four will be elected for a term of three years"
 At meeting of the board of off cers the following recommendation was outlined and referred to the cen tral committee for action: That q nu- cleus of fund to be used in defray- ing the expenses of this organization shall be raised in the various fraternal societies represented by delegates in the league by whatever method the so- cieties may deem best.
 The league in this city will use the dispensary system, that is, care for the cases by having nurses treat them in the homes. Later, an effort will be made to secure money from the legislature in order to erect in this city a hospital for chronic cases. It is up to the public now to do its share in getting enough money together to carry on the work
