Gently accepted a call to become pas

many relatives in Chester. The inter-
ment was in Rose Hill cemetery Sun

A negro named John Joiner, was
arrested and committed to Jail Satur-
day on the charge of having perpe-
trated the outrageous assault on Josh
Smith at the Lockmore mill recently.
Suspicion fell on Joiner because of
certain circumstances which seem to
include the foundation Of a case. 1t
developed that Joiner and Smith had
fallen out shortly before, because of
Joiner's unwillingness to pay Smith 80
cents for slaughtering a hog for him.
The assault on Smith was committed
with a section of a-inch iron pipe,
which was found near the spot with
blood on it and which was identified
as having come from the oil mill. 1t
is alleged also that Joiner himself, af-
ter the assault, gave out some hints as
to what he had done to Smith
Occasionally there are complaints
against The Enquirer for not talking
up men and things. that the complain
ants would like to have talked up. The
Enquirer is willing to admit that 1t
very often fails to knock and condemn
where 1t should knock and condemn,
and it may fail sometimes to say good
of things that deserve to have good
said of them. The first shortcoming ls
probably a matter Of prudence. we do
not claim that perfection that does not
admit of error. The second short
coming is, we claim, a result OF ig-
norance sometimes, and sometimes In
ability to see things exactly as others
see them. But one thing is absolutely
certain, and that Is that even If we do
fail to knock and condemn at all points
where knocking and condemnations
seem to be necessary, under no cir
are we going to undertake
to boost and talk up that which we be-
lieye to be rotten, incapable and gener-
ally bad.
The Loan and Savings bank Is now
quartered in its new
home, and that new home is one that
would be credit to any town in the
state One objection to the old quar-
ters was that they were too cramped
for the rapidly developing business OF
the bank, and that was the most seri-
Gus objection; but plenty of room Is
not the only striking feature about the
