George Duncan Bellinger.

Many men are great only in
their funeral eulogics, so that
when really able or distinguish
ed man dies it is difficult to do
him Justice in an obituarv. 1t
was our desire to pay more than
the passing tribute of sigh to
the memory of our recently de-
parted friend, G Duncan Bel
linger, and we meant to try in our
feeble way to point out some of
the many virtues in which he
excelled beyond the common run
of mankind. Before committing
our thoughts to writing we read
the following editorial article in
the Columbia State, which ex-
presses so we'll our estimate of
Mr. Bellinger's high character and
attractive personality that we give
it to our readers, heartily con-
curing in every word of the
splendid tribute to one of the
noblest gentlemen that our State
has ever produced:
The minds of those who read
yesterday in the newspapers that
George Duncan Bellinger, brave,
gallant, tender soul, had passed
away, instantly reverted to the
time. when, as a: prosecuting Of
ficer, defending the majesty of
the State of South Carolina, he
strove with all his splendid tai
ents and resolute energy to bring
to Justice the "Broxton Bridge
lynchers"-called ''lynchers" by
courtesy but actually murderers of
humble and defenseless negroes.
In those days the spirit of justice
was not as strongly intrenched in
South Carolina as it is now,
however much more it needs to
be strengthened. and Duncan
Bellinger was one of those pro-
scouting officers who in the teeth
of threats by armed ruffians, was
foremost in asserting it, insisting
that criminals be punished be-
cause they had done crimes and
without regard to their social
position or political influence.
What progress has been made in
bringing about a better order in
South Carolina is due to men of
Duncan Bellinger's intrepid kind
and among them the Common
wealth had none lolder.
OF manner quiet, soft of voice,
and full of a sweet courtesy, his
nature was marked by a fine
quality of passion that made
him feared by doors of wrong
when it was aroused against
them and brought to him troops,
of friends who loved him dearly
for his gentle manliness and
admired him for his striking in
tellectual gifts Tile State, May e

Have You Been Counted?

Some of the patriotic citizens
of Kingstree are anxious lest
there be individuals or families
overlooked in taking the census
of the town. We sympathize with
this spirit of town pride and
while there may be no cause for
apprehension, still it is well to be
on the safe side and in some way
check up the work of the emu
merator. In some towns there
have already been found instances
where whole families were overlook :
ed and the work of enumeration
had to be done over. Ten yelrs ago
the census of Kingstree showed
some 760 inhabitants within the
town limits. We do not pre-
tend to say, or even suggest,
that the work was not thoroughly
done, or the result not exactly
correct. At that time it did not
seem to matter much whether
the town was given its full
number of inhabitants or showed
a rapid growth. But conditions
have changed and this year we
want to be credited with every
single soul living in the town.
Let US see that no person Is
overlooked. The figures of this
census will stand for ten years
and if the count does the town an
injustice there is no way of
righting it for that length of
time.
Now, with all due con-
sideration for the enumerator
for this township, we want to
ask the citizens Of Kingstree, one
and all, to try to find out if
any one has been omitted in
counting the names of the
people of our town. We also
ask any who has been overlook
ed to notify us promptly, i'll
order that the error may he cor
rectcd before it is too late.
OF course, everyone knows that
the enumerator has not purpose
ly omitted the name of single
person, and she may have every
name duly reported, but no one
is infallihle; we only want TO
make sure. These mistakes have
occurred elsewhere; they may
happen here.
Below we have printed
coupon, which any one within
the town limits who has been
overlooked by the census-taker
may use in reporting the fact
to this office. The thing to do is

One of the main obstacles to
Southern progress is the old, time
worn idea that nothing produced
at home is worth while. As long
as this antiquated notion prevails,
our country will never attain the
high state of development of
which it is capable. Money kept
at home helps to build up the
home community, while every
dollar sent out of the county
and State builds up other COM
munities at our expense.
