1t Lives!

Men may come and men may go,
but the republic lives on forever.
Bosses may rise. and bosses may
fall, but republican government will
sarvive and go ON to final victory.
Presidents may win and presidents
may lose, candidates may quarrel and
platforms may be perverted, but the
rank and file of the voting masses
ultimately will come to sound de-
cision.
This nation was not born in day.
It was the outcome of long and bit
ter struggle. 1t survived the shock
of war with other nations. 1t came
out of it's civil strife chastened and
strengthened.
1t has passed through many waves
of adversely. 1t has swept away OBJ
stacles that seemed insurmountable.
1t has outlived demagogues and de-
molished disturbers. 1t will do it
again.
Once more it is being put to the
test. Experimental theories, self
seeking egotists and loudmouthed
demagogues are having their day.
Whether it will be long or short
one depends upon the common sense
of the American people.
Are all the lessons taught by the
bitter experience of the past to go
for naught and be forgotten? We
hope not. We believe not.

at Washington still lives. ."-Leslie's.

WHAT INTEREST is THIS?
Loan Shark EXacts $3.50 Interest on
Loan of $500 for Three Months.

Like the poor, the Loan Shark is
ever with u.s." declared an irate citi-
zen whose cook is being harassed by
one of these human vampires. 81
told her" he continued, mot to pay
that scoundrel another cent, and that
if he bothered her further for her
to let me know and 1 would try my
hand at indicting him for usury.'
The above words were spoken by
a we'll known citizen of the city yes
terday as he called News reporter
off to one side Of the street and put
this question to him: "Why don't
you newspapers break up this loan
shark business?" By gentle prodding
the reporter eased the speakers
mind over stretch of several
months, and then recall bitter fight
which the News waged last winter
on this nefarious practice. He was
reminded that the News pointed out
the evil and the remedy by printing
column after column with reference
to both, and then left it to the citi-
zens at large to say what should be
DONE
The citizen went into detail con-
cerning the trouble which his cook
was having with the loan shark. He
said she came into the house one day
this week crying and begging for pro-
lection from the human vampire.
When asked what her trouble was,
she stated that last March, about
three months ago, she borrowed Sc
from a loan shark; had already paid
him back $3.50 and that he was now
clamoring for the principal.
What caused the servant to go to
her master, however, was the fact
that the loan shark had just sent a
policeman down to serve notice on
her that she must come across with
the Sc she had borrowed.
Eight dollars and sixty cents in
terest on Sc for a period of three
may figure the rate of
interest for himself.-Greenvill

NEGRO KILLED.
Jim Hiott and Norman Hunt Charged
With Deed.

Walterboro, June 26.-As result
of homicide at Virgins Saturday
night, Jim Hiott and Norman Hunt,
two negroes, are in Jail, charged with
the killing of Joe Higgins. 1t is said
that these negroes had been engaged
in a skin game and having finished,
were lying around fire when with
out warning Jim Hiott picked up
single-barrelled shotgun and fired at
Joe Higgins, the load striking him
in the neck and shoulder, killing him
almost instantly. 1t appears that
there was no fuss and no bad blood
existing between the negroes and the
killing was complete surprise to
those who were standing around.
Magistrate Chaplin, w ho held the
inquest Sunday night, decided to
commit Jim Hiott and Norman Hunt,
as accessory, to Jail await trial.

HELD FOR SHOOTING DAUGHTER
Clarendon Farmer Puts Up Cash
Bond of $500.

Manning, June 29.-J. J. Bryant,
a white man about so years old, who
lives in the Sammy Swamp section,
seven miles from Manning, was up
before Magistrate D. J. Bradham to-
day for a preliminary hearing on a
charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill. He is charged with
having shot his 15-year-old daughter
in the leg and foot with shotgun.
No testimony was taken, as it is said
the defendant acknowledged having
done the shooting and offered to ex-
plain why he did it, but the magis-
trate would not hear him. He was
REQUIRED to give bond of $500 for
his appearance at the next term OF
court to answer the charge.
Bryant is a man of very uncouth
appearance, but possesses consider
able property. He put up the cash
for his appearance.

Dream Leads Them to Happ
Marriage.

Out in Oklahoma City Charles ST.
mons dreamed two weeks ago that
the sweetheart in Atlanta he had
not seen in 80 years had become
widow and able to keep the vow she
had made to him when both were
very young. The dream came true
last night at "a Spring street, where
Mr.. Simons was united in marriage
to Mrs. Katie B. Virgins. Both bride
and bridegroom are SO years old
and both are grandparents. Some OF
the grandchildren saw the ceremony.
Simons came originally from Au-
gusta, Ga., and it was there he met
Mrs. Virgins back in 1880 before
either of them were wed. They were
sweethearts for a year and she had
promised that upon her fathers con-
sent she would become Mrs. Simons,
but her father was averse to the
match just then because Simons was
very young in the first place and had
mighty slim financial prospects to
boot. He told the young man to go
west and make some money and then
he might marry Kate as soon as he
pleased.
Simons was so much impressed
with the vividness of the vision that
he began winding up financial affairs
next day preparatory to hurried trip
East. He reached Atlanta four days
ago. and after two days of searching
found Mrs. Virgins, truly widowed
as he had foreseen, at the Spring
street home.
Simons lost no time in renewing
the 3O-year-old romance. He pro-
posed within 4S hours and Mrs.
Virgins in accepting him admitted
that her mind had been much upon
Just such a climax to that Augusta
love affair for several months.

South Carolina.

South Carolina, says George Fitch,
a popular newspaper writer, is the
fghtingest State in the Union, and is
the unsafest spot between the At
lantic and Pacific in which to discuss
the emancipation proclamation or to
edit a newspaper with trenchant
pen.
South Carolina is about as big as
the front yard of Texas cattle king.
1t contains 10000 square miles, is
shaped like five-cent cut of pie, and
has 100000 people, including Re-
publicans, Chinese, and Indians not
taxed. The population is almost
equally divided between whites and
negroes, but one Carolinian when he
gnashes his teeth and draws in his
breath with a low, kissing sound can
make 100 colored residents go away
in search. of rest and change of
climate without waiting for the next
train.
South Carolina was settled about
$50 years ago, but has remained un-
settled ever since. 1t has always
been noted for it's nervous disposi-
ton and it's willingness to rise up
and smite the universe on all occa-
sions. The British were having an
easy time in the Revolution when
they struck South Carolina, but Gen.
Marion soon made them look like
Republican who has criticised Gen.
Lee in Charleston. The State help
ed win the Revolution but threaten
ed to take it's doll things and go
home in Jackson's administration,
and in 1851 it opened the civil war
by seeding with a prodigious explo-
sion. Later it contributed Tillman
to the United States Senate and has
listened to the uproarious results
with pride ever since. South Caro-
lima was severely shaken by an
earthquake in 1886, but did not Sc
cede at that time.
