There are heroes and heroes we
build. TO some, as we
should do: we forget others, who gave
their lives to protect society. a peace
officer of courage and proper concep-
ton Of the duties of his position. VINO
loses his life in the discharge OF MS
duty, is as deserving of the grate1ui
esteem and admiration Of n people
as is the soldier, who is shot down
storming the enemy's fort. There
was never in any war q sofuier VINO
belong to the brave, who sacrifice
their lives for their country. than was
George Mu1nford. Deputy Sheriff Of
Wilson county, who lost his life IN the
determination to catch the deSpera-
does who were banded together to
rob and kill. The Wilson Times re-
Gently suggested that a monument be
erected to he Of this brave
deputy sheriff, and a native son of
Wilson, now holding a responsible po-
sition with one of the biggest houses
in New York City, writes the follow
ing letter Of approval:
Letter From Mr.. Paul Bum.
Editor Wilson Times. Wilson. n. G.
] noticed in the Times a few days
e q proposition to get popular sub
scriptions from d cents to $1.OO for
the of erecting q monument
to Deputy Sheriff Mumford, who was
murdered recently. l SHOULD IKE to
contribute my dollar for that pur-
pose, and J. enclose it to you herewith
and / think that when any man has
been as faithful to his trust, in the
face Of all sorts of personal danger,
as MunfOrd has been for years, the
citizens of Wilson should honor him
in the modest way that you
1t so happens that ] went to school
with Mumford when l was a young
ster, and / shall always have kindly
recollections of the way in which he
once protected me from bodily harm.
l was not over nine or ten years old
at the time. and two big rOughs had
got me in a lonely spot and were ar
ranging TO polish me up in good
shape, and just then George Mumford
came along accidentally, and what he
did to those two fellows was simply
an index Of what he has been doing
to l~aw-breakers ever since.
1t is q most regrettable thing that
a peace officer Of his type should lose
his life at the hands OF such a
worthless menace to society as was
the negro West. Yours very truly,
PAUL v. BUM.
The proposition Of the Times
should be carried out, as it will teach
the lesson of official duty and cour-
age to present and future peace Off
GERS, and honor a man who deserves
to be given place with the men with
whom Duty was the supreme word.

One day. in times of yOfc. n knight
went out for gore, with word and
shield and lance:
THE WARRIOR his helm was
wrought OF steel,
a spur was on his heel. /. blacksmith
made his pants. And as he rode
along. 50 valiant, big and strong. 2,e
said, iii ElidcrtOnes: "Ods prunes!
This junk j wear but fills me Will, de-
spair! It's crushing half my bones.
They say tina / am brave when 1 MY

prod up with my lance some unof-
Tending chap. But I'm not brave
enough to shed this hardware stuff
and a buriap sack: a poor Old
knight must reel around In rusty
steel until it breaks his back. I fear
the cssustic laugh. l fear the jest and
chaff Of idle lad and lass. and so I
pack around about five hundred
pound of clanking iron and brfas."
That good dc knight Is dead; a foe
man broke his head five hundred
wears ago; and bards write joking
rhymes about him and his mes
when all was empty show. And as
the poet writes, his lips i'll pain he

THE SYSTEM.

no the surprise even Of its best
friends, the ouse yesterday, by an
overwhelming majority passed the
Cotton Torrens bill and ser it owe
by a special messenger to the Senate.
It had passed the Senate on its sec
ond reading. but a failed on the
third reading. 1t passed the Senate,
when most Senators were not adver-
tent to the measure. and then there
was haste on the part Of its oppo-
ncntS to have it recOnsidered, and
it was done. 1t viii probably be
killed.
The Senate was wiser in its error in
passing the bill than when it deliber-
ately defeated it on its third reading.
Some people do good by stealth and
blush to find they have thereby Won
fame. The Senate. by accident, did a
good thing and then unGid 1t.

UNCLE WALT
The Poet Philosopher

One day. in times Of yOrc. n knight
went out for gore. with sword and
shield and lance:
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1911-10-11

The Times, c. r. Miller-always a
good friend of the South-was one
of the many prominent visitors who
came here from the North as the
guest Of Henry Grady and my father,
the late Evan p. Howell, two pioneer
warhorses for Southern progress.
Mr. Miller came to see IL all the
things he had heard about the South
were really true. 1 was a college
boy at the time, and l recall that /
came over to the formal opening of
the exposition-and Just here let me
add that upon finishing my college
course, / went to The Times to serve
my journalistic apprenticeship, for
which good fortune l will ever be
grateful.
Tremendously significant from a
political and economical standpoint
is the growing independence of the
Southern press. We are parting with
the traditions of the past, where they
are fetiches and preserving only
those fit to survive. We are learning
liberation, free speech, the privilege
of uttering ones convictions. Where
this maye ultimately lead politically
do not undertake to say But / do
know that this great, new, vital quail
ity. born of what may be called the
South's standardization, is another
of the forces molding the South of
tomorrow. To their credit be it said,
the more progressive newspapers in
the South, realizing the relation of
absolute independents to develop
ment and prosperity, are encouraging
this tendency by every means at their
command
No summary, of Southern accom-
plishment and Southern outlook
would be complete without reference
to the recent phenomenal develop
ment of general manufacturers. AL
most ineXhaustible sources of water
power, plenty of coal ana ample rail
road transportation, together with
abundance of raw material for al
most every industry, are giving birth
to innumerable manufacturing enter
prses destined ultimately to rival
agriculture as a producer of revenue
and to keep in the sections millions
now annually leaving 1t for finished
commodities

by certain persons prominent in
musical circles in Wilmington. who
had an opportunity of hearing him
last year in New York. Young Tai
lsrico came to this country at q e
age of nine years. and from his
earliest days showed an inclination
for music. I'ol the last three Ysa's
he has been one of the star pupils OF
Raphael Joseffy, who has given the
greatest amount of attention to his
development and considers him ripe
for audiences of the highest culture.
Last spring he played the Schumann
Concerto. in New York. under the
conductorship OF Arnold Volpe. and
he will play the same Concerto in
Wilmington. This concerto repre-
sents the elimination Of the roman
tic school, and is the kind Of work
which would naturally be expected
from Robert Schumann. whose deNc-
tion to. and love for his famous wife,
Clara Schumann. the great pianist, Is
one of the familiar facts OF musical
history. The complete program OF
the orchestra is as follows
Camille Saint-Saens, "Phaeton,
