When we cannot say anything good of
a person we think the best thing is to
keep silent. That was the reason that
we omitted mention of the weather last
week. Suffice to say that it was the
coolest of the season and good deal Of
stormy blizzard mixed in. This week
has been much better though cool
enough for comfort.
E. M. Newell arrived home on Thurs
day morning after an extended trip east
where he has made arrangements for
the manufacture of his new patent hoes
on an extensive scale. Parts of the
utensils will be made in Milwaukee and
other parts made and assembled at
Chicago. As stated previously he has
considerable number already contract
ed for to be delivered this spring.

ameter forms an ample reservoir for

through holes cut near the lower end
of the tile. A strip Of wire cloth 10
wound around the tile so as to cover
the holes and prevent the entrance of
gravel or sand. The cover must be

into the bell of the tile. A circular
space one foot in width around the

that the cistern may be easily inspect

Hon. Jno. L. Epps, county treasurer,

for the collection Of delinquent taxes
for the year 1910.

to levy and collect this tax at once.
This is to notify all persons who have

the same promptly. The number of
executions this year is large, and I

BETTER GO SLOW.

The following editorial from the
Columbia Daily Record is of particu
lar interest at this time, and breaches
good doctrine along with the state
ment of facts which it gives:
"The Anderson Daily Mail denomi-
mates as flake Journalism" the story
published in some of the South Caro-
lima papers that the employees of the
Ware Shoals mill had demanded
holiday on the occasion of Governor
Blease's speech at that place, and the
Orangeburg Times and Democrat re-
fers to the story as "a lie out of the
whole cloth" Other papers have had
similar comments. 1t will be we'll to
proceed a little more cautiously in the
matter Of denouncing a story pub
1ished in a reputable newspaper, writ
ten by a reputable newspaper man,
whose chief asset in his profession is
his reputation for truth and veracity.
CAS- for The Daily Record, this
newspaper has no interest in the mat
ter. The story was not published in
this paper. But We are free to say
that we have since read a letter writ
ten by one Of the most reliable and
most prominent business men of Co.
lumbia, confirming the "tip" which h.
gave to the reporter who wrote the
story. This gentleman was the re-
porter's authority for the story. and
the gentleman himself received his
information personally from an Off
cial who was assuredly authorized to
speak for the Ware Shoals mill COM
panv The story did not emanate
from the governor nor any of his
friends"

It does seem that Attorney General
Lyon has had ample time to get ready
in the cases which he has brought
against those connected with and who
had dealings with the old State dispen-
sary. It is reported from Columbia
that four defendants were in court
there yesterday demanding trial,
and that "the solicitor notified the
court for J. Fraser Lyon, attorney
general of South Carolina, that the
State was not ready for trial at this
term" These and other cases have
been hanging over for long time, and
they ought to be disposed of. The con-
stitution guarantees the: fright to
speedy and public trial by an impair
tial jury" and we suppose it means
what it says, though the constitution
seems to be held in very light esteem
these days by even lawmakers and
those charged with the enforcement
OF the law.
We would like to see the whole old
State dispensary business and all
matters connected with it wound up
and got rid of and forgotten, if pos
sible.
