THE FACE IN THE MOON.

"There is no man in the moon. 1t is
woman, and she's a good looking wo-
man too. That stuff about there being
a man in the moon is all nonsense"
This declaration was made at COM
ct party the other night, by gentle
man, who knew what he was talking
about and who was not afraid to speak
out. There were several in the party
both ladies and gentlemen, who were
familiar with the fact as it appeared to
the speaker and they agreed fully; but
others were skeptical.
You are joking" said one. Whats
the gag?" asked another, and still 9TH
ers refused to take the matter seriously
Il mean just what l said" repeated
the first speaker and for one after an
other he tried to trace the outline
which all initiated agreed gave a full
side view of a handsome womans

the head with the unassisted eye; but
to others it did not appear until a

to bear on the three-quarter face of
the earth's greatest satellite.
The consensus Of opinion was that
the gentleman who first called atten-
ton to the matter of there being q
woman i'm the moon instead of a man
was entirely correct. Both ladies and
gentlemen agreed that the mead was
not only that of a woman; but OF real
good looking woman, wearing her hair
done up i'm pompadour style, with
rats" in the back. The general profile
is very much the same as the lady on
the silver dollar. except that the sister
i'm the moon seems to wear good ma
tured smile rather than try to look too
serious.
1t was given up by all present that
the face i'm the moon is tnat of Il wO-
man, and the idea that she should have
been placed there for gathering sticks
ON Sunday, was unanimously tabooed.
1t was decided too, that there must be

man would hardly be looking so pleas

PASSING OF THE COMET.

Halley'S comet came on exact Sched-

tail i'm accordance with previous an

without doing particle of harm to
anybody or anything. just as the more
sensible astronomers and level-headed
people generally thought would b" the
case.
The average citizen of even more

scant interest in things astronomical.

IN his charge to the York county
grand jury Il few weeks ago. Judge
DeV0re took occasion to remark on the
sinister significance of 4 common SEN
timent that men Of money do not fare
in the courts tine same as poor men
in other words there is discrimination
i'm favor of the rich. His honor stressed
this suggestion along with the idea that
it meant that men of money could buy
jurieS, and suggested, that juries should
resent such an imputation. There
was nothing the matter with the
judges reference to the subject, except
that we thought then and think now
that he failed to strike exactly the
ringht chord. The average jury, COM
posed of no matter what class of men.
has frailtieS enough; but susceptibility
to bribery, we are proud to say, is not
one of these frailtieS, at least not in
this section. We have known York ju
rOrs to be improperly influenced more
than once during some twenty five
years of observation of the admins
tratiOn of the law in this county; but
we do not remember Il single instance
where we have ever had reason to
suspect that 4 juror mas gone out of
his path Of duty under the influence of
a bribe. But still there is some fuun-
dation for the imputation that the rich
criminal stands Il better show i'm the
courts than does the poor one. \ Splcn-
did case in point is that of w. u. Jones,
the Union county murderer If there
had been man on that jury that tried
Jones, low and deplaVcd enough to
accept bribe, there would have been
at least Il mistrial, provided only that
that man had been strong enough to
stand out against the righteous indig-
nation of the others But now is it
now that the very supreme court of
the state has said that thcr" was alb
solutely no fault i'm the court below,
either by the jury or the presiding
Judge. Jones is still out of the p"ni-

FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1910.

ed in the morning The best body to
name chairman was the resolution
given In full above. He thought the
convention should elect the chairman
of the state executive committee just
as ii elected delegates to the national
convention. The county chairman
was named the same way. The state
convention should retain control Of
the craftsmanship. 1t was charged
mat this was an attack on the state
chairman. 1t was a reflection on the
Democracy Of Chesterfield. Gen.
Jones was not considered I'm any such
| light. Mr.. Stevenson read an article
which stated that the fight was caused
| because Of Gen. Jones's connection
with the Seminole company This
was denounced. He simply contended
|, that the committee was the arm of the
| convention and tine chairman of the
committee should be controlled by
the convention. He did not think
| Gen. Jones would serve unless he was
wanted. He paid a tribute to Gen.
Jones as treasurer He had been In.
structed by his county to change the
| rule as TO the chairman and therefore
he could not consistently vote for a
chairman the night before.
The county convention elected the
executive committeeman. This was
directly in touch with the people and
as near as possible.
Mr.. Hoyt's Response.
J. A. Hoyt said he was responsible
| for the article referred to by Mr..
Stevenson. He had at times opposed
Gen. Jones but thought he had made
a faithful officer.
1t was a personal fight. He would
like to ask Mr.. Stevenson how he
would vote as to Gen. Jones.
Mr.. Stevenson said he would an
swer that by asking another: Why
did Gen. Jones fear coming before the
convention-was it that he feared
election?
Mr.. Hoyt said that from the time
Wade Hampton and A. c. Haskell re-
deemed the state the committee had
selected its own chairman. 1T was
the hit dog that howled."
Mr.. Stevenson said he had not
howled. 1t was the other side-the
editor of The Record.
The previous question was then Or
dered and by large majority the
resolution was voted down and the
unfavorable report adopted.
There was some discussion on the
proposed change in the rules allowing
voter to prove that his name was
on the club roll. The favorable re-
port given above was tabled.
Other reports were adopted, and af-
ter the usual resolutions of thanks, the
convention adjourned at 10.45

The State Hbairp,a

Following the disposition of the
primary matter, the unfavorable re-
port of the committee on the proposed
change i'm the constitution affecting
the election of the state chairman was
taken up.
Mr. Stevenson submitted a minority
report and urged the passage of the
report.
Answering a question as to the pro-
cedure on the national committee. he
said South Carolina did not have to
go outside for instruction.
He had no feeling against Gen.
Jones: the convention could elect who
it wanted. He had an amendment
making the change go into effect in
1912. Could this be construed as a
fight on Gen. Jones? As to the allie
CATION that it was brought on by the
Seminole matter, Gen. Jones was
duped as much as any one else.
D. H. McGill opposed the change
The convention did not name the
chairmen of the two committees nam

of the statement Mr.. r. j. Thomasson

Cotton has been coming up beau

many farmers who had planted five or
six weeks ago. and who have been on

reported where there has been replant-
ing that the second planting is coming
up side by side with the first. There
are still some misgivings as to the fate
of cotton on cold, sandy lands; but the
situation even there is more encourag-

- Columbia State, Thursday: The
state Democratic executive committee
decided yesterday to increase the as
sessments on candidates entering the
race for various state offices. The raise
was made because there is very little
money now in the treasury. The mat
ter was left with a special Subcummit-
tee and after going into the matter
thoroughly their report was adopted,
although there was some opposition to
1t at first by Robert Lide of Orange
burg, who thought that the expenses Of
the committee should be cut down. The
old assessments provided that can
ddates for governor should pay an
entrance fee of $50, other state officers
$3.50, solicitors $25 and congressman
$50 each. The new assessments pro-
vide for S125 each for congressional
candidates. $50 each for other state
officers, $50 for lieutenant governor and
SIS for governor.

IT would have been too much to hope
that the state Democratic convention
as now constituted, would have been
willing to change the rules of the party
so as to provide that only registered
voters shall participate in primary
elections; but still there is no little
encouragement in the vote as recorded
by counties on the subject last We'd
nesday night. In this vote there is
evidence that the matter is receiving
very serious consideration, especially
throughout the up country. Where the
up country counties did not go solid
for the proposed change, there were at
least signs of division, and this means
that they are thinking. The change
will come in time, we think, and when
it does come it may be interpreted to
mean the triumph of the very sound
and comprehensive principle that the
country should be governed by the peo-
pie who contribute most to its support.

ABOUT the best that can be said OF
Stenographer Kerby's betrayal Of Bal
linger and LAWYERS writing Of that
letter for President Taft to sign, is
that it enabled the public to get an in
sight into the situation that it could
not have gotten otherwise. We are
not inclined to try to justify Kerby, be-
cause we do not see how ne is to be
justified. He was in that office fol
the purpose Of taking such dictation a:
his chief saw proper to give him. and
he was in no wise responsible to the
public or himself for the nature OF
that dictation. He had right to quit
if there was anything in the duties OF
his position that he did not like: but
we cannot see that he had a right Il
divulge any information that came tC
him in his confidential relations. But
since the information is out through
Kerby or otherwise, it must necessarily
be considered on it's merits. regardless
of the manner by which it was OBJ
tanned. Kerby will never figure again
except as the man who betrayed a con
fidence. He can never again attain Il
responsible position.
