in France they count francs, so

Nothing she can do or leave undone

Joseph Pulitzer Of New York,

Joseph Pulitzer OF New York,
one OF the greatest newspaper
men in the world, died suddenly
on board of his yacht in Char
lesion harbor Sunday. Mr..
Pulitzer was born in Hungary
81 years ago, came to this coun.
try penniless, and by his energy
and remarkable ability built up
several great newspapers, and
amassed an immense fortune.
The great statue Of Liberty
which adorns, and serves as a
light to vessels entering New
York harbor, is a monument to
the public spirit of the Great
Pulitzer, for it was through his
work and his liberal contribution
that the necessary funds about
S250,O0O was raised 10 prepare
the pedestal and erect the mas
sive statue after it was made by
the great sculptor Bartholdi and
donated by the people of France.

was its independence, which we

circuit Judge in the case Judge
r. C. Watts is promoted to the

THE TINES editor has known Mr..

WAS WILSON A B0LTER!

It is now said that Woodrow
Wilson in 1896 voted for Palmer
and Buchner, yet Bryan's Com
moner appears to be endorseing
Wilson for the Democratic nomi-
nation. Perhaps Bryan did not
know that Wilson was of the
crew that scuttle the democratic
ship when his paper began pub
fishing the editorials commend
ing the candidacy of Mr.. Wilson.
If it is true that Wilson did vote
the Palmer and Buckner ticket
in 1896, against the regular
Democratic ticket, it seems to
US that it will have the effect OF
depriving him of much of his
present Southern support. We
do not believe there is a man on
earth who bolted the Democratic
party that can secure the sup
port Of the South Carolina dele
cation in the National conven-
ton. South Carolina never for
gets nor forgives a bolter. At
present the tendency is towards
Wilson in this State, therefore,
the newspapers which are in
touch with the distinguished
gentleman should ascertain
whether or not he did support
Palmer and Buckner; if he has
been standing by the regular
nominees of the party: now
since his regularity has been
questioned, a public statement
from him would be interesting.
and perhaps prevent an injustice
being done him in this State.

IT IS A VIRTUOUS SPASM.

IT IS A vIRTUoUS sPAsM.
Some of our contemporaries
seem shocked because we re
ferred to the recent action 0:
some citizens Of Charleston with
regard to the contemplated es
tablishment Of a race course
as "a spasm of virtue. Wher
it is taken into consideration
how these same citizens, who
divorced themselves from a
large quantity of warm air: have
full knowledge of the existence
of institutions that are in viola
ton OF law. and when it is also
known they have never made ar
attempt to suppress these evils:
it should not shock any wher
they single out for their actlvi
ties an untried experiment, if il
is characterized "a spasm OF
virtue" If Charleston is making
an earnest effort to reform, WE
shall be glad to give what little
assistance orsencouragement we
can. but we shall want a guar
antee of sincerity before we take
a step. The editors of the News
and Courier and the Evening
Post can do a great service in
the direction ofreforming if they
will, both of them are good fel,
lows, and zhave the nerve to put
up a good fight, and, when we
find Latham and Waring heading
towards cleaning the city of the
evils which have existed so long
that they are recognized as a
part of the body polite, then we
stand ready to give them aid,
however, as long as they will
permit things to go along as
they haye been doing, closing
their eyes to the gambling sa.
looms, rum shops, houses of i'll
fame, practically licensing these
institutions, we shall continue to
regard "a spasm of virtue" their
efforts to prevent the establish
ment of decent sport in their
city.
The running in of a few little
crap shooters: or the raiding of
a little blind tiger who has not
put up his fifty on the Re
