COT TO BE MIGHTY GARRETT

The very thing we have been try
ing to hide. Jim Hoyt's paper, the Co
lumbia Record, has brought out. as
follows:
The paper which is honored now
by having 4 r. Warning as editor was
the only paper in South Carolina, if
we mistake not. and ono of the few in
the whole country, that supported the
Palmer and Buckner election in 1896
The Record adds: "NIr. Warning, it is
true, was not then the editor, but that
may not matter as 1t is all more or
less in the family and he cannot re-
pudiate the record" OF course. Hoyt
did this without thinking; there Is
nothing sinister about his work: but
We wish he had not done it just tho
same, He breaks the fall" so to say.
by noting the fact that Mr.. Waring
"espoused the cause of the Great Tri-
bune of the Peepul in 1905, being a
delegate to the Denver Convention
that tried to save the country from
Taft" That is true, but what is the
use of talking about such things lust
now? NO doubt" as the Record says
'Mr. Bryan will be delighted to have
the Charleston paper as his running
mate in 1912. At any rate the Warine
boom is looking up But in all such
matters as this, as Hoyt ought to
know we must proceed with circum-
speetion and not tell anything more
about our candidate than is absolute
" necessary to make his calling and
election sure

1t Is we'll that the Norfolk Land

Quite number of new people have
gone TO Norfolk in recent years, but
they have generally taken with them
their manners and customs, and the
most OF them naturally do their shop

tives that are of present concern and
they really need attention, although
candor compels US to admit that they
are catching on. This appears from

most assuring evidence of its grad

actual knowledge of its habits hereto

Sues for Damages.

S. r. Craighead of this county /,
suing the Wabash railroad for al
legged damages in a shipment Of
cattle. The plaintiff states in his
petition that on the 10th of Oct,
1907, 70 head of steers were de-
livered by him to the defendant to
be transferred from Hallsville to
the Union Stock Yards, Chicago /;
that the defendant delivered the
stock at the Union Stock Yards,
Chicago, on the morning of Oct
49,. that the steers were delayed in
shipment, due to the carelessness
and negligence of the defendant.
That all the steers were wounded,
bruised, and made sore and lame
which was also due to the negll-
gence and carelessness of the de-
fendant. He also alleges that the
defendant was aware that the
steers were TO be placed on the
market of Oct. 18th. That on ac-
count of the delay in shipment,
the steers were not sold until the
goth. That the steers shrank and
lost in weight about 5000 pounds,
more than they would have
otherwise had they been delivered
on time. The market on the Goth.
the plaintiff alleges, was 20 cts. on
the hundred pounds lower than on
the 18th. For these reasons the
plaintiff aske Judgment for $1,000.
