The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1909-09-04

That incident over in Spartanburg
the other night involving the capture
of policeman in the act of robbing
a cash drawer, and the subsequent re-
lease of the policeman who was cap
tured, is the sensation of the week in
the State, and the circumstances are
now receiving more careful and thor
ough consideration. There is q good
deal involved in the matter. and IL
does not look as If IL should be drop
ped all at once. OF course, there is
nothing unusual in the robbing of
cash drawers. There is nothing un-
usual in the possession by thieves of
false keys to stores; there is nothing
abolutely new in the foisting of such
a theft as this on a policeman, there
is certainly nothing new in the action
of the mayor Of the city and the man
who was the loser by the theft in al
lowing this man to escape. On the
contrary, this last fetaure of the affair
has grown too common, and as we
see it, it is the ugliest thing connect
ed with the whole business. Just
what might have been the motives Of
Mayor Floyd and Mr.. Dupre in allow
ing Mulligan to go his way without
arrest, we do not know: but we feel
sure that their motives cannot be de-
Tended from any standpoint that is
consistent with their respective du-
ties as an officer or a citizen. This
theft, if theft it was, was not a crime
alone against Mr.. Dupre. 1t was a
crime against the people of Spartan
burg and the State of South Carolina,
and it looks to us that when this man
was allowed to go free, there was an
other offense against the people of
Spartanburg and the State of South
Carolina. Something has been said
about the unfortunate family of the
policeman; but we are unable to see
the application. 1t is a common thing
for offenders against the laws to have
families; but surely we are not to as
sumo that they are to go unpunished
on that account. For any humiliation
that the family may have suffered this
offender alone is responsible, and
the fact that he has been allowed TO
escape. does not relieve that humilia-
tion to the slightest extent. AS we
see it, the mayor of the city had no
right whatever to let this man go free
On the contrary. in doing so he yio-
lated his plain duty and his oath of
office. The whole incident points very
clearly to the conclusion that IL we
are to have safety for life and prop
erty in this country. we must enforce
the laws. and if we do not look more
carefully after the manner in which
those who are vested with authority
discharge their respective duties, our
laws are in danger of becoming null
and void. When that time comes
thieves will not have to wait until
night to steal from stores. They will
do their work open and above board,
in broad daylight. En-
Quirer.

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
ANNIVERSARY SOCIAL

The anniversary social held at the
M. E. Church Monday evening was
one of the most successful events
given by the church for great many
years. A large crowd was in attend
ance and the entire evening was
spent in ways conducive toward the
formation of many new friendships
and the renewal Of the fellowship
among both young and old friends and
mem bers of the Church. The parlors
had been made attractive by decor
ations in red and white crepe paper
and flowers artiStically arranged
about the rooms. The fore part of
evening was spent in having social
time, after which Rev. Newing, being
called upon, gave short address Of
welcome. He spoke encouragiDgly of
the bright outlook for future work
in the church from the view point of
these anniversary services, which are
being so successfully carried thru.
He expressed his sincere desire that
many Of these occasions might be
planned for the future in order that
the people might know each other
better, and so be of greater
help to one another. The musical
program consisted Of piano solo by
Miss Lelah Steen, vocal duet by the
Misses Helen and Francis Anderson,
accompanied by Mrs. J. FL. Under
man, and piano duet by William and
Marguerite NeWing. Miss Grace
Goggins in her usually entertaining
manner, rendered negro dialect
reading, which is deserving of an
unusual amount Of praise, Mr.
NeWing, by request entertained the
crowd by delivering a Scotch piece,
which he had learned in his boyhood
days. Mr.. Cooper and Mrs. Goggins,
read interesting letters from old
church members and many pleasant
memories were called to mind con-
corning interesting incidents which
took place in years gone by. After

TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS

Parties having toys that they will
donate to the Relief Committee for
Christmas presents to the needy child
rem will please leave word with Mrs.
NJ. G. Bramham who will call or look
after the same.
Mrs. Paul B. Wallace recently from
Colorado, but who has been visiting
for a week with her people in Osh-
kosh arrived in this city Wednesday
to join her husband, who is now
pleasantly located in his old office
rooms in the lMacKinnon Block on
the West Side. They are both de-
lighted to be back among their old
Grand Rapids friends.
The warm weather that we are nov
enjoying is unusual for Thanksgiving
time. On this day it is customary
to enjoy skating and sleighing, but
this year have had neither. The man
who predicted an open winter proba-
Oily KNOWS what he is talking about.
This kind of weather is certainly
good evidence of it.
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Hutchinson of
Bancroft were in the city Wednesday
afternoon ON their way to Toma-
hawk to spend Thanksgiving Day with
their son, George. 1t will be remem-
bered by the Old settlers that this
family formerly resided in this city
about thirty years ago, and they
were wonderfully surprised at the
great changes they noticed in this
city since they left here. They had
heard great deal Of the improve
n'ents going on in Grand Rapids but
they did not realize they were so
great.

After having cleaned up it's
schedule in fine shape and won
an untarnished title to the West
ern conference championship,
the Minnesota u" football team
went down to defeat before
Michigan by a score of Is to 6
on Northrop Field Saturday.
Minnesota has a great team this
year but has had the worst kind
of luck, losing four of her best
men from the game by injuries.
Though Michigan will now claim
the western championship, her
title is decidedly clouded, for
Notre Dame defeated her II to 3.
The gridiron warriors will now
retire from the spotlight and try
to catch up on their school work.
Verify, football is a great and
strenuous game.

A PLEASANT WAY TO
CURE CATARRH
Poor deluded victims!

Poor deluded victims!
Continually sprinkling and spraying
and stomach dosing.
What are you doing it for?
Trying to kill the catarrh germs?
Might just as well try to kill cat
with fresh milk.
Sticking piece of chewing gum in
the upper left hand corner OF the
right ear would slaughter just as
many germs.
You can't kill the germs that cause
catarrh unless you get where they
are.
You can get where the germs are
by breathing Hyomei, the powerful
yet soothing antiseptic, which is pre-
pared especially to kill catarrh germs.
Just breathe it in, that's all. 1t
gives joyful relief in five mminutes.
II is guaranteed by Hanson & En-
erson to cure catarrh, or money back.
1t is sold by leading druggists ev-
erywhere. A complete outfit, includ-
ing inhaler, costs S1.0O. Extra bot
ties, soc. Cures sore throat, coughs
and colds.
Il take especial pride in recon-
ending Hyommei to asthmatic suf-
ferers, as l know by experience that
it is a remedy that cures l have

A NOTABLE VICTORY

On Saturday, Nov. 20, the
United States circuit court
Judges Sanborn, Vandeventer
Hook and Adams, handed down
an opinion simultaneously at ST.
Paul and st. Louis, granting the
governments petition to dissolve
the Standard Oil Company. The
decree becomes effective in thirty
days, December 20, unless stay,
ed by an appeal to the United
States supreme court. The
attorneys for the trust will take
an appeal.
The action was begun three
years ago under the Sherman
antitrust law of 1890. The
Standard Oil Company is declar-
ed to be a combination and con-
spiracy in restraint of, and to
monopolize, commerce among
the states and with foreign
nations. The evidence in the
case filled twenty one volumes
and occupied more than ten
thousand printed pages. The
arguments of counsel filled more
than three thousand printed
pages. Frank B. Kellogg of St.
Paul was chief council for the
government, having been select
ed by President Roosevelt to
handle the case.
That the appeal is not likely
to result in anything more than
a temporary stay in the proceed
ings, is the opinion of those who
have watched the progress of
the case. 1t is to be hoped that
this is so.
This decision means much to
the government. For years the
Standard Oil Company, the
greatest of all trusts, has held
the country by the throat, afbi-
trarily' debating the price and
controlling the supply of petro-
leum and its products It has
done this by buying up or crush
ing out all competition. The
Standard Oil Company has been
practically one man power in
the person of John D. Rockefel.
Ter. The burdens he and his
minions have imposed upon the
people have been heavy and
grievous to be borne. Now
comes the government and says
that the combination is illegal
and must cease or 60 out of busi-
ness. The peoples rights will
be looked after. It has taken
much time and has cost the
government a million dollars to
secure this decision, but it is
worth the price.
These are days when the
trusts are sitting up and taking
notice. The sugar trust has
been brought to bay and is being
made to disgorge many dollars
which it deliberately stole in
weighing. Now the Standard
Oil trust, the biggest of them all,
is declared illegal. Let the good
work go on. Put the company
out of business and give the
little fellows a chance. Then,
if Rockefeller wants to endow a
college, let him contribute his
own money instead of making
the people pay the price by a
temporary rise in the price of
oil and gasoline.

How the SurpIice Originated.


The old Scotswoman who referred
to the surplice as "sark" or shirt
was perfectly correct. For that is
what it originally was, according to
the London Chronicle. After the in.
vasion of the northern barbarians it
was a common custom TO wear
white shirt over the sEeepskin or
otter skin then in use Hence, in the
twelfth century" writes Dean stanley
in his 'Chlistia Institutions, arose
the barbarous name OF ..ptG ,e. icium
or surplice-the over!ur. Is nasle in
