Come Home Too Soon

Whether it is best to leave Taze-
well for Florida in the whit er, or
not, at any rate, is great risk to
return here from that climate until
bad weather is over. Nearly all the
Tazewell people came home at least a
month too soon. Being warm and
pleasant there causes people to think
that the same weather prevails
everywhere, and to forget that Taze-
well weather in particular, is tire ach-
erous in the Spring, up to and some
time including the month of May.
Stay away from Florida unless you
can stay away from Tazewell until
winter is over.

Manager Wray has the Firing
Line" engaged for November 16. This
Is another popular story with which
the local public is familiar and the
play is good.
Mr. william Boyd, son Of Mr.. s.
NJ. Boyd, died at the home of his par

ter several years of suffering. He was
about 25 years Of age.
That is a pretty severe lecture
that the Gaffney Ledger reads to the

Rev F. M. Satterwhite, who since
January 1st has been pastor Of the
Yorkville Baptist church, at the SUM-
day morning service rendered his
resignation to the congregation, the
resignation to become effective al
such time as the deacons Of the
church may decide to be most conve-
nient for all concerned. Mr.. Satter-
white took this step because Of the
condition Of his health, which has be-
come such as to make his retirement
from the ministry necessary, for the
present. The resignation and its cause
Is much regretted by the congrega-
ton of the Yorkville church.
The law requires an annual finan-
cial statement from the town council
to the citizens of the town, and this
statement should be made. The first
attempt at such a statement was made
last year, but 1t was unsatisfactory In
that 1t was not specific enough. From
time to time rumors leak out as to the
payment of the towns money to GER
tain purposes, some Of which pay
ments do not seem to be fully war
ranted in law. The taxpayers have
a right to know where every cent of
their money goes, what for and to
whom. The publication Of an item
ICED statement as required by law,
will answer this question fully.
Mrs. Laura A. Parish has entered
suit against the town Of Yorkville for
$4,000 damages because Of the alleged
pollution OF the stream running
through lands belonging to her because
of sewage. The sewerage line runs to
a point within a short distance of the
lands of the plaintiff and through the
plaintiffs lands the branch Is open,
Mayor Hart is the principal witness
for the town and the understanding is
that he will testify that before the sew
erage line was completed. the plain
tiff with full knowledge Of the proba-
BILE effect upon her property, gave VOL
untary consent, stating that any pros
pective damage on account Of the sew
age would be more than Offset because
of the influence of the sewer lines on
the value of the lots she was then Of
fering to sell.

ment, that there is little or nothing to
add. 1t is assumed that this advertis-
er was patronizing the Intelligencer
in the first instance for business rea-
sons, and that in taking his ad out he
loses at least as much as does the In
telligencer. II because of its advoca-
cy of lynching this advertiser does not
feel that he should patroniZe the In
telligencer, it seems right for him to
exercise his discretion. We cannot see
where he is to be censured. We do
not agree with the Intelligencer in the
position it has taken. We think 1t all
wrong; but still if the Intelligencer
thinks it right, it should be willing to
take the consequences of doing right.
1t has no good cause for complaint
against the advertiser. AS we see 1t,
it is up to the editor of newspaper
to do and say what he honestly thinks
he should do and say, regardless of
the views of advertisers. If he under
takes to consult all advertisers before
expressing himself, his paper will be
worth little as an advertising medium.
This would be because such a paper
would command but little respect.
But of course it follows that where
there is resort to the boycott idea,
both sides can play the same way,
and just as an advertiser may refuse
to patronize a newspaper because that
newspaper upholds lynching, so also
will such of the readers of that paper
as endorse lynching be inclined to
boycott the advertiser who is thus
emphasizing his disagreement with the
lynching practice.
