The Yorkville Enquirer remarks:
The version (of the Richmond Incl
dent) given out by the governor, which
IS the version taken down officially at
the convention, is very different from
that on which many newspaper COM
mCnts have been based" 1t Is to be
hoped that The Enquirer will point out
these differences with particularly. In
every essential the stenographic report
furnished by the governor confirms tn:
newspaper reports. State.
Most of the versions we have seen
printed, simply quote the governor as
saying ito He'll with the Constitution"
and stop there and most Of the news
paper comments we have seen seem to
be predicated on the assumption that
that was all there was to it. In treat
ing the matter in this way, we think
the newspapers have been very unjust
to themselves. An Associated Press
version Of the speech was printed in
The Enquirer of last Friday. The full
text, as taken down by the official ste
nographer Of the convention and re-
produced from the Columbia State of
Tuesday is being printed today. If the
Stale "a unable to see the difference, we
despair of being able to point that diff
fierce out to it and shall not attempt to
do so. So far as we are concerned, how
ever, we desire to say as we have said
many times in the past, that we do not
believe in lynching under any circum-
stances. We do not believe the practice
is calculated to accomplish the end it
is supposed to seek. On the contrary
we believe that it has the opposite ef-
feet. The only way we know of to stop
lynching is through just and strict
enforcement of al the laws.

The People are Honest,

You can fool all the people part Of
the time, and some Of the people all the
time; but you can't fool all the people
all Of the time.
Abraham Lincoln Is commonly given
the credit for having said this first.
There are those who claim that It was
said long before Lincoln's day. But 1t
makes no difference who said 1t first.
1t has always been true and 1t is true
now.
There are many dishonest individuals
among the people; but the people as a
whole are not only honest but generally
correct. The only exception Is when
all Of them may have been fooled for
part Of the time.
Men who are dishonest as individu-
a's when 1t comes to promoting their
own selfish interests, usually know
right from wrong as we'll as other peo-
nle. and may be depended upon to do
right, unless they think they have some
particular benefit to be gained by doing
wrong.
1t is not to be claimed that majori-
ties are always right. There are times
when only a part Of the peop,e speak
for the whole people, and just as apt as
not they may not reflect the true voice
of the whole people; but when the
whole people speak on the strength Of
full information; those who disagree
with the deliverance in the belief that
Is wrong, will do we'll to make a more
careful examination to see If mayhap
they have not made up their judgment
from an incorrect angle.
OF course 1t is not to be assumed
that the people are always right, or
even that they are ever entirely right,
for the most that can be claimed is,
that when they have all the facts, they
can be depended upon to do the best
thing that 1t is possible to do under the
circumstances.
But the people as a whole are never
knowingly and wilfully dishonest as in
dividuals very often are.

1t is understood that Mrs. Dugas,
formerly Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr., is not
at all satisfied with the decree of the
supreme court as to the disposition of
her children. While technically the
new decree does not constitute a re-
versal Of the former decree, in practi-
cal effect 1t may operate as such rever-
sal. The former decree gave the chill
dren to the mother absolutely. 1t was
based principally on testimony that
went to show that the father was unfit
for the custody because Of alleged ad-
diction to the excessive use Of alcoholic
liquors. In the present case what the
court considered to be the preponder
ance of the testimony, went to show
that the husband had reformed and on
the strength of that showing, the court
saw proper to give him right to see
the children at certain fixed times. a.
to what might happen in the future, un-
der these conditions is a matter Of
speculation in which the human nature
element will have to be taken as fignr-
ing quite largely. If the mother does
not live up absolutely to the orders Of
the court in both letter and spirit it is
likely that there will be further orders
that will still further change the stu
alton. The recent decree Of the court
did not require the father to provide
for the support Of the children and a
report has gone out from Columbia
suggesting that the mother may sue
for alimony; but there is no tangible
foundation for the suggestion.

South Carolina Appointm.nts-rn,

south Carolina Appointments.-T
Soutn Carolina delegation, upon the in
vitation Of Senator Til,man, met in
MS office last Tuesday morning. ac-
cording to Washington DISPATCH to
the Greenville News, and agreed upon
a general line Of policy in regard To
South Carolina appointments.
II was the understanding that as
nothing could be done until they saw
President-elect Wilson, that the sena.
tors should confer with Mr.. Wilson as
soon as practicable to learn his policy,
II ne agrees to have the senator's and
congressman from the state, control the
patronage, then the rule to be followed
VIII be this: All the postmasters win
be designated by the congressman In
their respective Districts, provided thot
no postmaster shall be named who IA
personally Objectionable to either of the
senator's. The collectors of the ports
VIII be recommended in the same way.
The United States marshall and dis
trict attorney will be designated by the
senators after comforting with the DEL
eeation.
1t was the opinion Of the delegation
that President Wilson should be urged
to rescind the executive order issued
by President Taft, pacing all fourth
class postmasters under the civil SER
vice, for the reasons that in the south
this opens wide the door to negroes and
they believe this order was issued 1or
the purpose Of perpetuating Republl-
cans In Office.

STORM RELIEF FUND.

The members of the committee in
charge Of the distribution of the Glover
storm relief fund are coming in for
more or less grumbling, and complaint
because Of what they have done or
have not done.
AS stated some weeks ago, after con-
siderable 4abor, a list of the persons to
whom the money would be distributed
had been compiled preparatory to send
ing out checks; but distribution was
held up, pending the receipt of some
5000 reported to have been subscribed
from Rock Hill and vicinity. This
amount was promised for December.
/; but as 1t has not been forthcoming
up to date, the committee has decided
that 1t can do no better than to GO
ahead and distribute what it has.
The amount Of hundred and a few
dollars reported to have been raised by
Mr.. s. s. Faris, was duly paid over to
the committee, and has no connection
with the 5000 above referred to.
From the tenor Of the complaints
the writer's of the complaining letters
seem to think that the general distri-
button has already been made, although
they have no concern on their own ac-
count, they want justice for friends and
acquaintances who they think have
been overlooked.
One man writes that the oats con-
tributed by Mr.. Finley were given to a
certain man who Is well able to buy
oats for himself, while the writer has
to get out cordwood or saw logs at so
cents per to buy oats. AS a matter Of
fact the contributions in kind were not
distributed at all. The committee could
think Of no way in which 1t could Sc
cure an enuitahla distrihution and de-
cided to convert the wheat and oats
into cash and distribute the money.
Another man writes that he under
stands that good big sticks Of the cash
contributions have gone to certain well
known and well-to-do citizens who are
not in need. He mentions the names
of two men who have not received a
cent or expected cent, and who though
heavy losers are still in good shape,
and would not take any Of this money
If offered to them.
But the members Of the committee
are not resentful on account of these
complaints. They very wei understand
how all kinds Of rumors can get started
and how people who do not know any
better, believe them. The members Of
the committee understand that they
have nothing to do but to do the best
they can.
The understanding Is, that as soon as
possible after a general distribution OF
the funds on hand has been made,
complete list will be furnished to The
Enquirer and it will be published for
the benefit of the public, as well as in
Justice to the committee and in justice
to people who have been reported to
have received donations but who have
not received them.

REMISSION OE TAXES.

There Is considerable interest over
the question of the remission of taxes
on the district around Glover that was
swept by the terrific hail storm Of last
summer.
In his speech at the state campaign
meeting, Gov. Blease said he would
gladly do what he could for the peop e
of the storm swept district, and if it
should be thought advisable, would ask
the general assembly to remit all taxes
or such portion of the taxes as might
he thought best this year
That the governor will make such
recommendation as the best judgment
Of the people most interested, think
should be made, will be taken for grant
ed; but 1t should be understood that
the general assembly will not necessa-
rily follow the governors recommenda-
ton.
The question involved Is much larger
than most people have yet grasped, as
If taxes are remitted, the remission will
probably not only include all the prop
erty in the town of Glover; but all that
embraced in the several thousand acres
of deVasted territory surrounding the
town.
But there is more to be done than the
mere revision of taxes, because as
thoughtful Glover people see, the
schools have to be provided for and
other things have to be looked after.
The interest on the school bonds must
be paid. There Is no other way for II,
and If the special school tax should be
suspended, the fourishing school at
Glover would either have to suspend or
be supported by private subscription,
and that after all would be hardship
rather than benefit.
1t has been suggested and there is
something in the suggestion, that II the
state would give real aid to this dis
trict, it might assume responsibility for
all the taxes itself. That Is, let the
taxes be suspended or rather remitted
and then let the state make the entire
amount good.
Or perhaps. If the general assembly
is not willing to do this as proper a
thing as 1t would be to do then 1t might
at least suspend all state and county
but school and bond
taxes.
If there is anything to be done, how

Governor of Canal Zone-President
Taft Is thinking Of offering the govern

Col. Goethals, builder Of the canal. II
Mr.. Taft makes his proposed Panama
trip, 1t Is practically certain he will Of
fer the post to Col. Goethals and take
up with him, whether he accepts or not,
pans for the zone government.
Special important positions are to be
filed and do not have to be confirmed
by the United States senate. It is ex-
pected that Mr.. Taft will fill them be-
fore he gets out of office.
To enable President Taft to appoint
Col. George w. Goethals, chief engineer
OF the Panama Canal Zone, a major
general in the army, Senator Sanders
of Tennessee, today introduced a bill
creating an additional major general
ship. President Taft in his recent mes
sage asked for such a reward for Col.
Goethals. The bill was referred to the
military affairs committee.
