It amuses US to read the lee
lures of the editor of the BAN
berg Herald to newspaper men
for accepting political positions or
becoming members of the gen
eral assembly, and it makes US
wonder if the Herald's editor
has forgotten that it was not so
long ago that he was seeking a
very imports at place in the very
body he IS now censuring his
brother newspaper men for be-
ing members of. For the infor-
nation of the Herald's editor
we will state that there are but
two newspaper men in the Sen.
ate, and a scrutiny Of the record
will convince him that neither of
these gentlemen have failed to
criticise the general assembly
when it was necessary, or failed
to defend it against unjust crlti-
cism. The record will show that
the newspaper in the Senate
have given to the Sta. an IN
telligent and honest service, and
that their work viii compare fav-
orably with the best OF the other
members.

Notice to Our Subscribers.

The new regulations Of the Post
Office Department says unless sub
scriptions are expressly renewed af-
ter the term for which they are paid
they shall not be counted in the list
of legitimate subscribers, and copies
mailed on account thereof shall not
be accepted at the second class
postage rate of one cent pound,
but may be mailed at the transient
second class postage rate Of one cent
for each four ounces or fraction
thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed.
The TIMES has been very lenient
with it's subscribers. Some of them
are several years behind, but the pa.
per is still being sent to them. This
policy will now have to be changed,
as the postofice department says all
papers not paid for cannot be sent
through the mail free within the
county as heretofore, but will have
to be fully prepaid with stamps
affixed. We cannot afford to pay
the postage that would be charged
and paste stamps on papers of those
that are in arrears, as it would cost
us more than we would get from such
subscribers.
We will be compelled to drop the
names Of all subscribers who do not
pay up by the first of April, which is
the limit set by the Postofice De.
partment. We would advise sub
scribers to come or send in and ar.
range the matter at once before the
rush sets in. We have no option in
the matter, but must obey orders OF
the Postofdce Department, and we
hope we will have the cooperation OF
all. Look at your label and see how
you stand.

Senator Tillman delivered one
of his hotly seasoned speeches in
the Senate last Monday, in which
he throws rocks at President
Roosevelt. His speech related
to the pending currency legisia-
ton. It is said by the dispatches
to have been one of the bitterest
denunciations ever delivered in
the Senate. The Senator is a
past master in the art Of de-
nouncing others but very thin
hided when the stream Of denun-
ciation is turned upon him. His
present attitude on the currency
question we are not at present
sufficiently informed upon to
base an opinion, but we do doubt
the wisdom of his ferocious at.
tack upon the president, but
then, it makes good advertising
matter and will draw crowds to
him when he goes out on his
lecture tour during the recess.

MERIT WILL vim.

The distinguish Senator from
Newberry Hon. Cole L. Blease,
announces himself a candidate
for governor in the coming pri'
mary, and if the tone of his in.
terview is any Indication he does
not propose to permit the com
paign to go along tagging. Mr.
BIease has a great many per
sonal friends in the State, some
OF whom however will not be
able to vote for him under pres
ent conditions. Those who help
ed make Martin F. Ansel gov
ernor, will feel duty bound to
stick to him unless it can be
shown that he has been recreant
to his trust, and we do not thins
Colonel Blease can do this, the
most that the Newberry Sena-
tor can hope for, in our judg..
ment, is to show that some OF
Ansel's policies We're not wise,
and that if he had been governor
conditions would be different.
There was a time in this State
when sn appeal to passion was
effective, but that time is gone,
the people want to know a gooo
reason why a governor should
not have a second term. Colonel
Blease makes a capital leglsla
tor, he is ever watchful that par
limentary rules are observed
His services in the Senate viii
be greatly missed by a large por
ton of that body, but whenever
he makes up his mind there is
no use to endeavor to persuade
him from his course. He has de
termined to make the race fol
governor. and this purpose he
took occosion to make known II
several speeches at the recent
session. We wish we coulo
help him to see that the people
have not lost faith in Ansel, and
will give him the second term he
merits.

The question is frequently
asked why it is that the famous
Hub Evans has not been indicted
along with the other members of
the dispensary board of dlrec-
tors9 We do not know, but 1t
often happens that in matters of
this kind there is one man who
has more judgment than the
others, and sees to it that the
records will show his protests
against fraudulent transactions,
and we are told that such is the
case with Hub Evans so far as
the records have been made pub
lie. Then too, it often happens
IN criminal prosecutions that a
suspected criminal turns out to
be an important witness for the
prosecution. When the parties
charged are brought to trial, it
will then be seen whether Evans
will sit in the dock or on the
witness chair.

LYON WAS JUSTLY INDIGNANT.

There is a disposition on the
part of some to censure Attor-
ney General Lyon for his COM
ments on the attitude assumed
by Judge Pritchard. They argue
that the Attorney Generals crit
icisms are undigniied; this, from
an ordinary standpoint may be
correct, but it does seem to US,
the Attorney General had strong
provocation to become indignant,
when a snap Judgment was taken
on him by the judge who fixed,
time to hear argument from
the States legal representative,
and in the absence of this officer
the day before the time fixed
the Judge proceeds to appoint
receivers to take charge Of State
property, the very thing the
States officer is resisting. Un-
der such circumstances the At
torney General is excusable it
he was provoked to indulge in a
stroag criticism Of the court. We
are taught to respect the courts
and bow to their DEGREES, but
when a court respects not itself
and resorts to unfair tactics, it
deserves to be condemned, and
will be in this free country. At
torney General Lyon is giving
his best thought in the effort to
protect South Carolina from the
unholy hands Of gang of van
dals, who have in their hire the
very best legal talent money can
buy, they are unscrupulous,
with them the end justihes the
means, and, if to accomplish
their purpose to loot the States
treasury they drag South Caro-
lima down in humiliation, they
will gloat with fendish glee
over their success. The AJtor
ney General realized this, there
fore, it is not surprising that his
honest and patriotic heart burns
with Indignation when he knows
there are men in this State who
have been honored by the people
that are, for few paLtry dol
lars, giving aid and comfort to a
crew of despollers.

The Pennsylvania grafters,
former State Treasurer, former
superintendent of public build,
ings and grounds, contractor
and former Auditor General
we're convicted at Harrisburg
last Friday. These former
prominent citizens were entrust.
ed by the people to build a State
house, and the evidence shows
they acted as if they were mem:
berS of the South Carolina board
of dispensary directors. Juries
in Pennsylvania convict the high
as well as the low. Thieves are
thieves to them, money and po.
sition do not count.

If Hon. Joseph A, Mccullough
does not now feel in giving up
the race for the senate to accept
a receivership against the inter
ests of his State, that he has
dropped the substance for the
shadow, let him read again the
decision of the State supreme
court. It was our sincere opin-
ion that Mr.. Mccullough stood
an excellent chance of being
the next senator, his name was
being favorably commented on,
but when he accepted that pros
pect for a big fee, it eliminated
him as a possibility instanter.

LYON SUSTAINED.

The State Supreme Court has
sustained Attorney General Lyon
in his contention for mandamus
proceedings against the winding
up Commission compelling them
to comply with the Act of the
legislature with regard TO turn
ing over certain funds, Judge
Pritchard's order to the con-
trarv Notwithstanding. This
was a great victory for Mr. Lyon
and it has demonstrated clearly
in the minds Of the people, that
the disparaging comments OF the
graft-defenders were mostly NAL
icious. whether emanating from
graft newspapers or graft law
yers. It has also demonstrated
that Mr.. Lyon is a lawyer Of rare
ability, as must be recognized by
the fact that the ssnpremescour
decree quotes ly from his
argument, and cEses frequently
the authorities presented by
him.
Associate Justice Woods de-
livered the opinion for the
unanimous court. and it's a very
interesting document. 1t is not
beclouded with phrases not un-
SorstooS and technical in char
acter, but clear, concise, force
ful and appealing to the reason
ing mind of a layaan. 1t is not
document that necessltates a
council of lawyers to interpret
it, is so direct in its application
that any man of ordinary con-
ception of our language under
stands it, and this decision will
we have no doubt be cited in the
courts of the various States as
standard authority whenever
federal Judge has occasion to
attempt to usurp an author
ity not given to him by the
federal constitution, or whenever
he assumes a jurisdiction IN mat.
tiers which involve the rights OF
States.
The people Of South Carolina
made no mistake when they chose
J. Fraser Lyon their attorney
general. He is giving his best
efforts to do his full duty con-
scientiously, and when the re-
cord is fully made up, it will be
seen that Mr.. Lyon has done
more work Of practical value to
the State than any Of his pre-
decessors. He will round up
the grafters, make those liquor
concerns that have pilfered the
treasury, make restitution, and
he will put stripes upon those
officials who betrayed their trust,
if an honest jury can be obtained
' that will carry out their sworn
duty, to bring a verdict accord
ing to the law and the evidence.
Attorney General Lyon we con-
gratulate you, and bespeak for
you the encouragement Of the
well-wishers of South Carolina.
