Our good friend. the Pee-Dee Ad-
vocate of Bennettsvil!e, is having
trouble with lawyers Of its town. the
Advocate has been printing facts and
that have tended to put
the public wiser as to the status OF
offenders against the law. The erect
of course, was to make 1t harder for
the lawyers, and the lawyers, who
think that the settlement Of such lit
tie matters Is their special and par
ticular prerogative, are accusing the
Advocate Of being yellow. 1t Is a ia
miliar case. but nevertheless funny.
The Advocate had been at considera-
BILE pains to give the facts on both
sides, and so we'll had 1t done its WORK
that there was nothing left for the
lawyers unless they could break down
the case made out by the newspaper
and this they proceeded to try to do
by abusing and trying to discredit Ed
itor Freeman before a jury, where he'
not being a witness, or otherwise
privileged. had no opportunity to re-
ply. Replying through his paper In
hot, signed statement, Editor Free
man makes thorough showing of the
ridiculous emptiness of it all, and
closes his statement with the follow
ing: Attorneys may succeed in pref
udicing people against the Advocate
They may succeed in leading the sim
ple minded to believe that lawyers
hired to present only one side OF a
case are the sole guardians and ex-
moments of truth and justice. But
they cannot prevent this paper. with

Secretary Of the Navy Josephus
Daniels has given his endorsement to
proposition that contemplates the
giving of naval training to college
students. The idea is to put about
twenty students on a ship during a
cruise of two months, with the under
standing that while the boys are un-
der no obligation to enlist, they will
be required to obey every order of
their superiors. Until other arrange
ments are made, the boys will have to
bear all expenses, including mainly
about s22 worth of clothes, and board
at 40 cents a day. Secretary Daniels
hopes to secure the approval and as
sistance of congress in the matter.
The object, of course. is to give as
large a number Of bright boys as pos
sible a practical knowledge Of naval
life.

From such information as is now
available 1t seems probable that the
court house commission will take no
steps looking to the sale Of the pres
ent court house site or letting con-
tract for the proposed new building
until after the bonds have been placed.
In the report Of the court house
meeting of last Thursday, the prefer
ence Of DR.. r. A. Bratton as to the
proposed new court house site was
misstated. The doctor has no quarrel,
because he does not think 1t really
matters; but nevertheless 1t was the
F. e. Smith Main street lot that he
thought would furnish the better loca-
tion among those mentioned.
Although the figures quoted were of
themselves sufficiently absurd to dis
credit their accuracy, 1t is proper to
state that 1t was only twenty seven
dollars instead Of $2,700 that Mr.. c. L.
Cobb calculated as the advantage that
the Peoples National Bank Of Rock
Hill had over the Loan and Savings
Bank Of Yorkville in the bidding for
that $4,000 loan recently effected by
the county. .... ,,.,

Lancaster. March %: An inquest
over the body of an unknown man
washed ashore on the banks Of Twelve
Mile creek near Osceola, this county,
has failed to bring to light any facts
as to the tragedy, except that the man
died a violent death, at the hand Of
some unknown persons. D, K Hall
conducted the inquest, as acting coro-
ner. The jury found that the man
had come to his death from blows with
blunt instrument in the hands Of
person to the jury unknown. The
wounds about the mans head were Sc
we're, the skull being crushed by three
blows on the left side Of the head. The
body. 1t is thought, has been In the
water about ten days. There is no
clue to the mans identity, nor to the
motive for his taking off. The man Is
supposed to have been a peddler. He
was Of small stature and dark COM
plexion. His hair was straight There
were no marks on the clothing to
identify the victim. ....

David NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
men whose names are most intimately
identified with the opening or the
Dark Continent may be mentioned as
David Livingstone, Henry M. Stanley,
Paul Kruger and Cecil Rhodes.
Among these the most notable OF all
was the first; he was no such modern
Moses as the Boer and perhaps ne dld
not possess the imperial imagination
of Rhodes, but as an explorer and
discoverer he surpassed even Stanley,
while no other modern man has done
more honor to the name OF missionary
than he. r7. . .n.r
David Livingstone was q when he
went to South Africa In 1910 under
the auspices Of the London Mission
ary society as a medical missionary
and began the labors that were to
last all his life. He learned the Ian
guage and customs Of the natives,
winning their friendship in no ordi-
nary degree. It was nine years after
his arrival in Bechuanaland that he
went on a tour Of discovery and
found Lake Nagami. In 1852, he ex-
plored the course Of the Zambesi
river, discovering Africa's greatest
natural wonder Victoria Falls. Then
he became commander of an expedi-
ton to explore eastern and central
Africa, and discovered Lakes Sherwa
and Nyassa. In 1856 he organized an
expedition to trace the Nile to its
source. After he had disappeared in
to the heart Of the continent without
any word coming from him for three
years the interest and concern of the
entire civilized world became aroused.
James Gordon Bennett, the elder, fit
ted out an expedition in charge Of
Stanley, who found Livingstone" af-
ter a memorable search. Livingstone,
then suffering from tropical fever
regained his health and parted with
Stanley to explore the southern end
Of Lake Tanganyika, where he was at
tackled with dysentery and died. His
body lies in Westminster Abbey. He

Destructive Storm Sweeps Nebraska.


More than 200 persons were killed
and 400 injured in wind storm that
demolished $50 homes, damaged hum
dreds of other buildings and caused a
monetary loss Of $5,000,000, according
to reports available up to late hour
last night from the main path of a
tornado in and near Omaha, Neb, yes
terday.
Most of the casualties were in Oma-
ha. Nearby towns in Nebraska and
across the Missouri river in Iowa also
suffered severely. Wires were snap
ped off in all directions and 1t took
many hours to gather and circulate
news of the disaster.
Fire broke out in the debris Of many
wrecked buildings in the Nebraska
metropolis, and these were menaces
for some time, as the fire companies
were hindered by fallen walls and
blockaded streets.
A heavy rain followed the wind,
however, and drenched the hundreds
Of homeless persons, but also put out
the flames.
OF the 200 known dead within the
area covered by the storm, 152 were
residents of Omaha. The remaining
dead are scattered over a considerable
range of territory, with Council Bluffs
reporting IL, Yutan, Nep., 10, Beriin'
Neb., Z, Glenwood, Iowa, S, Neola-
Iowa 2, and Bartlett, Iowa, 8.
Perhaps $500 persons are homeless.
Aside from this 5000 buildings were
more or less damaged. Eight OF Oma-
has public schools were wrecked.
All forms Of communication were al
most annihiliated by the wind and only
two or three wires were in working
condition when daylight relieved a
night of tension which at times almost
became panic. Soldiers, state and ma
tional, poured into the city during the
day to aid in bringing order out of
what for twenty hours had been chaos
Last night these guardians of the
peace, patrolling the residence dis
tricts aided the police to maintain or
der and relieve such cases Of suffering
as came to their notice.

- Washington, March %: The whip
ping post for white slave trafilckers
and seducers Of women, q tax upon
bachelorhood, more careful training Of
children and abolition Of joy rides and
raS-time dancing, were advocated as
remedies for the social evil at q hear
ing here today conducted by the I'LL
nofs senatorial vice commission. which
came to Washington primarily to in
terest President Wilson In nation
wide vice crusade. The commission
secured the promise Of President VIII
son to consider their request for him
to call conference of governors and
representatives of vice commissioners
from various states to study the So
cial problem, the conference to be
held in Washington as soon as practi-
cable. Congressman Robert Hill, of
Illinois, agreed, upon request of the
committee, to introduce In congress q
bill creating q commission to look into
vice conditions in the District Of CO.
lumbia. At the hearing, attended by
many prominent women and men in
terested In social welfare work, the
low wage question as cause of girls
going wrong was discussed, several Of
the witnesses decrying the idea, de-
claring that lack of education and re-
sisting force had much more to do
with the downfall Of women. Men, too.
were blamed as primarily responsible,
for the degradation of girls. Witnesses
who declared that low wages were not
responsible for social vice admitted.
however on being questioned by
Governor O'Hara, head OF
the commission, that higher wages for
working girls would better equip them
to resist evil, and all recommended
that q minimum wage law for girls
would be Of great benefit. Eight dol
lars a week as a minimum wage for
women was the generally accepted sum
estimated by the witnesses. Mrs. Har-
vey w. Wiley, wife Of the former chief
Of the bureau Of chemistry, was one
who proposed that sum as a minimum
living wage for girls.

Senator TilIman on the Situation.--
Senator Tillman, who Is here today on
his way to his home IN Trenton, ac-
cording to an Augusta dispatch of
Saturday. says he SIS not brooding
over Martins election to the chair
manship Of the appro priation COM
mittee Of the senate. M err4. $50
II am not unhappy about It," said
the senator. Perhaps It was a spe-
cial providence to keep me from kill
ing myself at work for the success of
the Woodrow Wilson administration"
What puzzles me-" the senator
said. 'is how Martin jumped over my
head to become progressive. and IL
he was not progressive enough to be
made chairman Of the caucus why he
should have been made chairman Of
the appropriation committee" Then
he added: But more earnestly de.
sire Wilson's success as president, and
the realization of the hopes Of the
country than anything for myself. My
name In history Is made; my fame is
secure. lf..sl f's'tf5tffsfr ~
'If anybody thinks the upheayal in
politics last November was brought
about by the people solely to turn out
Republicans and put IN Office hungry
Democrats, they are damn badly mis-
taken. Only when Democrat Is eff
f1cient or can soon become so, should
a Republican be turned out to make
room for an appointment. 1saf
II believe there are enough Demo-
Gratis to I'LL the offices and they ought
to have them as soon as we are cer-
tain We have. the right man for the
place, but 1t Is unwise as we'll as un-
patriotic to turn efficient and honest
Republicans out just to turn green
and hungry Democrats in. The first
care should be for, efficiency Of gov
ernment, and hope and believe that
will be President Wilson's policy"
The senator says he Is going to take
a little turn in South Carolina politics
before he goes back to Washington,
IT am holding my nose every time I
think Of the situation and wishing
I was strong enough to get on the
stump again and talk to the people
about It," he said.

| Microsoooio Revelation.-since

A Microscopic Revelation-Since
the day when David B. Hill found
that the best way to sail over politi-
cal snags and the safest way to get
around all problems was to declare:
II am a Democrat" this little gag
has been more or less successfully
worked, among the self-exploiters In
the Democratic party.
One might 60 so far as to declare
II has been worked to death, for as
suredly, 1t has become joke; yet
here Is the New York Herald, cap
tiously nagging at the president-elect
for having failed to go In for this
sort of political clap trap: 3
ssS..Careful reading of stheS New
Freedom published on the eve Of
his assuming office as a Democratic
president" observes the New York
Herald, reveals the significant fact
that In its 294 pages there is not
single mention Of the Democratic
party or Its policies. Only ouce, and
then incidentally, does the professor
refer to himself as Democrat" ~
Very careful" not to say ingen-
discovery. The whole volume Is the
very essence and principle Of the
Democratic party, but We fear that
Governor Wilson's failure to reveal
anywhere In this volume q leaning
towards plutocracy Is the real cause
Of the New York Herald's dissatis-
faction. tatE
Our New York namesake goes on
to argue from its very careful read
ing Of Governor Wilson's book that
"the professor''-they always call
him "the professor" when they are
trying to quarrel-is trying his best
to win for himself "the radical ele-
ment that has supported Mr.. Roose-
velt-and at any cost to his party"
and so the Herald (New York; says
there is an overcrowding Of the
anxious bench" among the Demo-
Gratis. l'A t' f,92a -ge9tb v1
All of which it would be superfu-
GUS to name. absurd.
II THE New Freedom wins con-
verts from the party Of Mr.. Roose-
Welt to the party Of Governor Will
son, 1t will win converts to the Demo-
cratic party, and we are always glad
to welcome converts.
What the New York Herald ought
to know is-that there Is q vast DIFF
ference sometimes between the name
Of thing and what the thing
really is. That which calls itself a
Democrat, sometimes acts like a Re-
publican and thinks like q plutocrat,
but it's the scent Of the rose by any
other name which gives the clue and
tells the real truth. David B. Hill
and politicians Of his type have found
1t necessary to paste the label, II am
q Democrat" upon their fronts, but
President Wilson doesn't need to label
himself. He Is the real thing.4Ath-
