Belated Communications.

In order to give our force a
half holiday Thanksglv ing day
Thursday The Record went to
press last week nearly day
earlier than usual, consequent
ly several valued articles that
came in a little late had to be
omitted. We regret this, but to
have published all that came
in at the last moment would
have necessitated our getting
out a full page supplement,
thus delaying indefinitely the
issuing of the paper. When a
lot of matter intended for
the current week crowds in on
press days, Wednesday and
Thursday, it is simply a matter
of impossibihty to handle it all
and get the paper out on time.
Ten articles, including several
advertisements, intended for
last weeks paper had to be
held over for the reason
above stated. Such Of these as
are not out of date are
published in this weeks issue OF
the paper.
We hope in future our friends
will try to get their communi-
cations to this office not later
than Tuesday morning of the
current week.

Bouquet for Union High School.

Among those schools of South
carolina which have made
marked progress the Union
High school, Rome, S c., de-
serves honorable mention. This
school is located far out in the
country in Williamsburg county,
and when Mr. o M Mitchell, who
had just graduated from Wofford
college, five years ago, took
charge only two teachers were
employed. By energy and
enterprise on his part and
the cooperation of his board he
has succeeded in having erect
ed an excellent building, has
increased the attendance nearly
a hundred per cent, and the
number of teachers from two
to five. This is now one of
the best rural schools in South
Carolina.-.Southern School Notes.

marriage of Miss Lillian Evelyn

were Mr. Trenholm and the
young couple, taking their places
under the fiowery arch prepared
for them by loving hands. The
bride was attired in a lovely
old rose coat suit, jet trimmed,
with hat, gloves and shoes to
match.
The bunch of brides roses car
ried by the bride was a thing of
beauty. A diamond sunburst, a
gift of the groom, was the only
Jewel worn. A most effective
ceremony was rendered by Mr.
Trenholm, during which the
fatherly voice broke more than
once, which only seemed to make
the service more beautiful and
solemn.

ents were displayed on a large

lack of railway facilities and for this condition Oregon
blame Hartman. But who blame is of less importance
than the result Oregon has resolved to relieve the difficulty
by building railroads of its which is experiment that
will be watched with interest. The amendment which is to
make the railroads possible will provide that they cam
not be sod but may be leased to private corporations for
operating purposes, if it is deemed best But such lease
must bring rental sufficient provide for all maintenance
and sinking fund sufficient to cancel all debts go
For several years Oregon has been something of political
experiment station for the country 1t was the first state to
try the initiative and referendum it makes the nearest
constitutional approach eectng and incidentally
has regulated the length of apns and other deadly Weapons
1t is fitting therefore, that Oregon should be the state Ito

will be the actual pioneer in state ownership in this

imprisonment Would Do 1t.

Just put one of the millionaires
who violate the laws in the peniten-
tiary, and you will see the laws en-
forced without further trouble, is the
sound and rational advice given by
Senator Bailey in speaking of the
difficulty of enforcing the antitrust
laws. Fines, as Mr.. Bailey said fur
ther. are of no use. The trust pays
the fines. and Immediately proceeds
to collect the amount with interest
from the consumers of its products.
by adding it to the price of its goods
The idea suggested by Mr.. Bailey is
one that should apply TO the rich law
breaker in all instances. Put one
of them into stripes occasionally, and
the moral effect would be sufficient to
deter others from SHINING against
Society in the same way. Penal pun
ishment has more than one end. 1t
Furnishes offenders and locks up dan
gerous characters where they can do
no more harm. 1t also makes an
example of them which should deter
the others from inviting like conse-
quences. Society needs a few more
examples of. this kind Exchange.
