FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1910.

With the booming Of the guns. the
battleship, South Carolina, was on
Tuesday. placed in commission at the
Philadelphia navy yard. After capt.
Augustus F.. Fechteler had read the or
ders Of the navy department putting
him in command, the Stars and Stripes
were run to the masthead, while OFF,
GERS and crew stood at attention. Sa-
lutes were then exchanged between the
shore battery at the navy yard and the
battleship. The South Carolina and
ner sister ship. the Michigan, are the
most powerful vessels in the navy.
The new ship will sail on Sunday for
Hampton Roads and later will proceed
to Charleston. At the latter place the
battleship will be given a handsome
silver service by the Daughters Of the
American Revolution.
Columbia, March 3: w. T. Jones, the
wealthy Union county planter reputed

woman of Union county, the supreme
court in q unanimous opinion handed
down today denying his appeal for

were being held out as decoy ducks:
but who would have dared tackle Sem
mole before il had been allowed to run
long enough to itself furnish proofs of
its own rottenness? Any newspaper
that would have attempted to discredit
Seminole in the beginning, would have
been badly crippled in the damage
courts for its pains, and although the
public would have been benefited, the
newspaper would not have even gotten
the credit of comforting that benefit.
The sentiment now seems to be that
the papers should hold up different al
legged offenders to scorn and contume-
ly; but the papers know that this
would neither be right nor wise. If
real offenses have been committed, and
there seems to be little reason to doubt
that such offenses have been commit
ted, ii is not the business nor the prov
ince Of the newspapers to punish. That
Is a matter for the law. However,
thoughtlessly they may be condemned,
the Columbia papers are entitled to
credit for most of the information that
the public now has about the alleged
shady things that are supposed to be
going on in Columbia.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1910-03-04

THERE is a good deal of complaint
at the Columbia papers for keeping so
mum about many of the ugly stories
that are circulating over the state,
about certain prominent citizens OF
Columbia. Although it is a fact, that
many of these stories are being told
in circumstantial detail that leaves
very little doubt as to their substantial
correctness, We confess that it would
be somewhat extraordinary should the
local papers attempt to tell all they
know. We are not eXcusing the local
papers at all, and we are not chal sing
them with dereliction. We have OBJ
served. however, that they are doing
their duty about as thoroughly as any
of the rest of US are. For instance, is
there a county in the state that is en-
tirely free from grafters? Is there a
county that does not contain its leech-
as on the body polite. who are always
doing dubious Things. that cannot be
exposed off hand for want Of the neceS-
