Latta Observer.
About a month ago a report was
circulated to the effect that the OBJ
server had changed hands, having
been purchased by a western man.
The report went so far as to get in
to other papers that the deal had
been made. We have been asked SO
many questions about the sale and
what would become of the would-be
purchaser that we have decided to
write story of the whole trans
action for the benefit of our read
ers- On the 7th and 10th of Sep
tember the Observer man saw an
ad. in the want columns of The
State that read something like this:
wanted, to buy a country news
paper for cash." We answered
the ad. and on Monday night the
11th, the same day we answered the
ad. stranger got off the train
here and registered at the hotel un-
der the name of Louis K. Hunter,
of Los Angeles, Cal. Early Tuesday
morning Hunter came to the office
and not finding the Observer man

paper. Later in the day we came
to the office and found Mr.. Hunter
who introduced himself, saying that
he had come, az we had asked him
TO do, to look over the plant. After
a few minutes conversation Hun
ter made a request for private
/ conversation and an engagement
was made for o'clock that even
ing at the hotel Tuesday morning
being a rather busy one always
with US we did not have time to
entertain Mr.. Hunter just then. At
the appointed hour we went to the
hotel and was invited to Mr.. Hun
ter's room, where a general discuss
Ion about the paper, the subscrip-
tton list, monthly income, etc., took
place. AS soon as we mentioned our
price Hunter informed us that we
had sold a Newspaper, saying that
he had expected to pay more for
1t. He then told as about his life
out West, how he had cleaned ND
several thousand in the newspaper
business and had decided to sell
out and come east and seeing a
good bit of advertising about the
south and South Carolina was on
the lookout for a location in the
Palmetto State, and this proposition
looked good to him. We left him
/ with promise that he would take
an inventory of the office next
morning and IL found as represent

draft for his money and take over

that during all that time he did

foolhardy performance he fell from

notoriety. If this man had

A rumor is going the rounds that
combination has been formed he
tween Tillman, Jones and Richards
70 capture the three highest Off
ees in the State next year. Accord
ing to the alleged ARRANGEMENT
Iniman Is to be reelected to the

ing short while in the Senate
l1iiman will resign in favor of
Jones who will succeed him as SEN
alor and Richards will succeed

looks very pretty on its face, but
granting that such combination
exists, there is no certainty that
II can be worked to a successful
conclusion. If Tillman serves less
than half of his term
nis successor would have

the ballot in this State is very un-
certain. If he should serve more
than half of his term his successor
would have to be appointed by the
governor or elected by the general,

When Tillman says that Rich
ards should have been elected
Governor last year, If character and
ABILITY to serve the people creditab-
ly had been considered by the peo-
ple," he throws a bombshell into
the Blease ranks. Does he mean
that the present governor has neith-
er character nor ability.

We are mighty glad to know that
Citizen Josh Ashley was not in the
party that did the lynching of the
negro near Honea Path recently. 1t
would have been a grave reflection
on the State for one of her law
makers to be in the lead in the de-
fiance of law, such as lynching. We
can see a reason for a community
that Is outraged taking steps to
remedy ills that are not touched by
law, but we could not bring our
selves to consent to the people set
ting aside law and the courts that
they have established to wreak
vengeance, as is the case in a
lynching. The courts are ADEQUATE
TO handle these matters, and to
step aside from the law begets a
lawlessness that is too hard to
check and the lawless element Is al
ways in readiness to take hold of
every community, and can only be
stopped by never letting the reins
loosen on the bit and bride with
which the community holds them
in check
