Injustice of Courts.

Thaws' defense the second time, was that of temporary insanity. If Thaw was poor man instead of a p1ofligate scion of Pittsburg million airedom, the law would make short shift with him. But his money, ex plotted from the labor of others, has bought him the chance to escape from the law s clutches. So he still has hope of escaping the penalty of the murder he committed after fate had taken him from Pittsbdrg and grafted him
 on the New York tenderloin. How nicely this case reveals the hypocracy that lies at the base of our capitalist system of justice!
 The courts are held up to us as the places wheSe all men are equal before the law, yet not one single individual who makes such contention would dream for moment of denying that to get justice in the courts one must have money to go after it.
 The vast sum spent to rescue the little Pittsburg degenerate would be sufficient to save the freedom or the necks of large number of small crim- inals, men at least charged with crime, who must go to their terms in prison or to officially administered deaths because of their inability to pay the best and most skillful law yers.
 The injustice of our system of jus tice is one of those conventional wrongs of our capitalist civilization that all people are aware of and yet put aside as seemingly hopeless of remedy and therefore better to ignore o as to keep placid mind. All over the country innocent men go to prison, and to the galiows, even, be- cause unable to buy justice for them selves. It is fact as shameful as it is undeniable.

Before and After War.

Says the Socialist Weekly of Japan : "As we predicted at the eve of the late war, workers in Japan are suffer- ing severely. They prepared for the war with heavy taxes and ever increas- ing difficulty of living on account of the rise of food stuff and rent for the best of the national strength was taken for unproductive labor. Once the destructive war begun the work CTS were sent to the battle field to fight and to be wounded or killed. At one time there were over one million men in Korea and Manchuria engaged in the bloody work; while the workers at home were exerting their energies to the utmost to support them Now the war is ended peace has been de clared to the satisfaction of rulers, immediate officers have all received rewards, honors and money! Those who fought or worked heroically and returned safe are only permitted to work for their own living. They must work still harder to pay the in terest on the debt amounting to some two hundred million. The workers are suffering extremely from the rise of daily necessities and rent. Strikes and riots are occurring throughout the country, the workers are rapidly awakening to the class consciousness. Our workers have learned bitter les sons from the war. And now they are learning to be socialists.
 The common man as soldier before and after a war presents two altogether different pictures. Before the war he is told he will be the savior of his country and he swells up with the homage paid him. After the war, if still alive, he sneaks back and won ders where both the former glory and his former job have gone!

Keystone of Success

in the working class move ment.s Let us push the circu- lation of the Industrial Work CT and hasten the day when the workers shall come into possession of their OWN.
 The capitalists have their paid agents ever on the watch to keep the literature of en- lightenment from the eyes of the workers. We must meet their plans with volunteers, who shall strive to get this literature before the workers.
 There must be no let up in the propaganda of progress. sive unionism, until the cit adel of capitalism is captured and the working class is triumphant.

DIR. RUSSELL ExoNERATED.
He Had Nothing to Do With Fish
Dynamiting Case.

.
Mr.. James Henry Rice, Jr. secre-
tary CT the Audubon Society, was
in Greenwood on Saturday, and in
response to an inquiry as to the issu-
ing of warrants for certain Green
wood parties for dynamiting fish in
Orangeburg County, made the fol-
lowing statement: AS to the nam
ing of DR.. l.. H. Russell, of Green
wood, in connection with the dynamft-
ing of fish in North Edisto River,
near North, in Orangeburg County,
there was a mistake which arose
from a confusion Of names. Dr..
Russell has no connection at all with
the case, and have had the war
rant against him withdrawn. The
party for whom the warrant was
intended was Russell G. Lawson, and
the mistake arose from confusion
in the minds of the witnesses. DR..
Russell has clearly established the
fact of having no possible connec-
ton with the case" Mr.. Rice state
ed that he was not in Greenwood in
connection with, the case, but on
other business for the Society. and
while in Greenwood made this state
ment.

Saving Corn From Rats.

The Newberry Observer says:
THE Observer man saw a heavily
loaded wagon of corn-in-the-shuck
unloading at livery stable in town
few days ago. and was struck by
the fine condition the corn was in
every ear seeming to be perfectly
sound, looking like it had just been
gathered. He asked the driver how
the farmer, who was Mr.. Sease, of
Reeder township, managed to keep
his corn so long in such good condi-
ton and free from the depreciation
of rats. He replied that when Mr..
Sease puts his corn away in the fall
ne sprinkles powder sulphur over it
and the rats do mot bother it. This
is worth knowing"

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.
What i Causing the Increase. q
Catarrh in Orangeburg?

Catarrhal troubles are increasing,
not only in orangeDurg but all over
the country.
Catarrh is germ disease and. to
cure it, germ life in the nose, throat
and lungs must be destroyed, and
this can be done only by breathing
Hyomei.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used; no
tablet or liquid mixtures whereby
the digestion is often destroyed and
intestinal troubles added to the hor-
rors Of catarrh
Rreathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every out
fit, its healing balsams penetrate the
most remote air cells, destroying
the catarrhal germs SO that quick
recovery follows. The complete out
fit costs but S1.00, and DR.. j.. G.
Wannamaker Mfg. Co.. agrees to re-
fund the money should Hyomei fail
to do all that is claimed for it,

NEWS FROM possuM CORNER.
An. Interesting Lester From an old
Correspondent.

81 Possum Corner, S. c., Special:-
Dear Editor: Many months have
elapsed since | crawled out from be-
hind my mole hill il the back woods
to pay my compliments 10 your
valuable paper, and during which
time many changes have occurred
along life's pathway, and many ia
miliar faces that once greeted us
with that sincere smile OF friendship,
have crossed over the green wood
into the unknown. But you and I,
dear Editor, are still facing the stern
realities Of life, which is fraught
with many Vicissitudes and trials
that fall to the lot of man. But
such is life, we have had many bright
and joyous days of prosperity, days
that brought Joy and gladness, un-
tarnished by weary care. But now
the scene has changed, time is steal
ing gently upon our footsteps, and
we are drifting into the inevitable
season of decay. Rocks. wear away,
mountains and hills crumble into
dust, and all sublunary things re-
mind us that we are passing away.
But a truce with preliminaries-
Among patriots it is always in order
to talk about the next war, but
among polititions it is always pertin-
ent to say some thing about the ap-
projecting election. A heated contest
in the political. arena, is now being
waged from the District of Columbia
to the Sea boad, the candidates
whose name is legion are present
ing their respective claims to the
dear people, aud soliciting their con-
tinued support, all sections Of our
country are represented by would
be Office holders except Possum Corn
er, and am almost persuaded to
represent that famous section myself
If / had the gift of oratory like my
good friends Thos Raysor or Thos.
Brantly. / would take the stump at
once, but unfortunately my name is
John and I never saw one yet who
could make a speech, am too modest
and reticent to make myself very
CONSPICUOUS. | am like the Irishmans
Parrot, very good thinker but not
a speaker. There is one redeemable
feature in connection with some OF
the offices to be filed, it is not nec-
essary for all candidates to make
speeches, and some men would get
more votes if they did not attempt
to speak at all there is such
thing dis man talking too much,
still tongue makes wise head, and
an empty wagon is very noisy.
Joe Brown was elected Gov. of Geor-
gia not long since, and he never
made "a single speech during the
campaign, he was wise man, he
never made any promises and he has
none to fulfill. Campaigns are like
lawyers, they are necessary evils.
Yet we are compelled to have them
occasionally.
s.. In view of the fact Mr.. Editor,
that my pen has been laid to rest
for some time, shall not attempt to
be tedious in this letter. But Will
close, hoping that I may be able to
give your readers some thing better
in the near future.
