There Should Be No Delay.

The attorneys for T. u. Vaughan
have given notice of an appeal to the
supreme court, which means that there
will probably be an indefinite delay in
ex ecuting the sentence that was impos-
eddy the court at the time the revolt
ing confession was made, not by the
accused but by man who according
to his own words is guilty of series
of crimes that doubtless without a
parallel in the courts of South Car
olina.
When delays are possible in such
cas- es as this, where there IS no doubt
of guilt and absolutely nothing to be
off ered:in extenuation for the crime,
there is something radically wrong
with our laws or the rules governing
our courts. 1t is just such delays as
the one that is being planned by
Vaughan's shrewd lawyers that encour-
age lynch law. Knowing the proneness
of the courts to delay and leniency, in
certain extreme cases the people. un-
fort unately, are not willing to "take
chances" with the long-drawn-out ad-
ministration of justice.
has been intimated from certain
quarters that GovernortBlease will COM
mute Vaughan s sentence. This should
not be done. On the contrary, the
chief exc cutive should use all of the
powers of his office to the end that the
sentence of the court be carried out to
the letter.

Duty First, Party Second.

Although trampling under foot the
rules of the Democratic party is very
serious matter, particularly here in
South Carolina where two races reside
side by side, with the inferior in the
majority, yet there are times when
duty demands that party rules be ig-
nored. When q nominee of the Demo
cratic party, feeling secure under the
rules of the party, which ordinarily
guarantee his election in November, is
guilty of conduct that renders him un-
worthy of the confidence that has been
placed in him by his fellow citizens,
then it becomes the duty of every
good citizen, regardless of party rules,
to vote for man who will make cap
able and honest public official. The
good people of Greenville have been
confronted with just such situation.
The sheriff f-elect recently caused the
arrest and Imprisonment of certain po-
.itical opponents upon fictitious charges
of serious nature, with the evident
purpose of humiliating them and injur-
ing their influence. In order to rebuke
this unworthy man and in order to Sc
lect some one who will make an honest
and capable sheriff, the people came
tooether an masse and nominated an
independent candidate for the office of
sheriff.
Under such circumstances, every
good citizen should vote for the inde.
pendent, or "bolter", = you please. II
loyalty to party rules conflict with
ones duty as citizen, it is clearly the
duty of voter ito renounce party al
legiance and do his duty fully and fear
lessly.

Much Needed Law.

The North Carolina legislature came
very near passing law providing for
registration of land titles under the
Torrens system; but didn't. After it
had been demonstrated that both the
house and senate were overwhelmingly
in favor of the law, interested enemies
succeeded in smothering it in COM
mittee. A similar law has been under
consideration in South Carolina for sew
eral years past; but it has not yet been
taken under the serious consideration
of the general assembly. We are in
clined to think that with proper effort
it could be put through the next ses-
sion.-Yorkville Enquirer.
The Torrens system is growing in
popularity and sooner or later it will be
adopted by practically all the states,
including our own. There are many
sound and sensible reasons why such a
system of registering real estate titles
should be adopted. ~

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
BY Common Garden Sage, a Simple
Remedy for Dandruff, Falling,
Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of usiLc' Sage for
%darkening the hair is again coming
in vogue. Our grandmothers had
dark, glossy hair at seventy-ive,
while our mothers are gray before
they are fifty. Our grandmothers
kept their hair soft and glossy with
a Sage Tea" which also restored
the natural color.
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble Of making 1t.
This objection has beef overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market
a superior preparation of Sage, COM
bined with Sulphur and other valu-
Gble remedies for dandruff, itching
scalp, and thin, weak, falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends
more on it's rich, ven shading than
anything else. Don't have dry, harsh
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in
a few days; and don't be tormented
with dandruff, itching scalp and
loose, falling hairs. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy will quick
ly correct these troubles, and give
color, strength and beauty to your
hair.
