TELL US, BROTHER KNIGHT.

Brother Knight of the Bamberg
Herald says: The editor of this news
paper hardly expects to separate
these South Carolina editors from
their free passes, but our idea is to
put them on record at least" Good
idea. At the same time Brother knight
might take the public into his conf
dence and tell it how, when and why
he got separated frou his free pass
Orangeburg Times and Democrat.
We have heard it whispered by a
railroad attorney of Barnwell as to
how it happened that Editor knight
is without pass but we had rather
hear his version f>st-hand. These
lawyers are such liars, y'know.-Barn-
well People.
Yes, tell us. Why not. There must
be a reason and we can't take the word
of a common lawyer, especially a
railroad lawyer.

ROCK HILL WILL WELCOME ALL
OF THEM.

A meeting Of the county superinten-
dents association is to be held at Rock
Hill during June, and on the principle
that they followed at Clemson, we
suppose that the retiring superinten-
dents would not be eligible to partici-
pate in the meeting of the association
at Rock Hill, but their successors will
attend this meeting-Newberry Her
aid and News.
The Herald knows nothing of any
difference that may exist among the
members of the association of county
superintendents of the State, and moth
ing of the matter referred to by the
Newberry Herald and News, but we do
know that Rock Hill will be pleased to
welcome all members Of the erganiza
ton, newly elected to otherwise, to any
convention which may be held in this
city. Let the membavs of this organi.
zation come to Rock Hill and forget
their differences while they enjoy the
delightful entertainment for which this
place is famous.-Rock Hill Herald.
There is absolutely no differences
between The Herald and News and
any county superintendent of educa-
ton. The editor of this paper is Oh
the most friendly terms with all Of the
superintendents and is himself one Of
them. He goes out Of Office on July
/, as do several others in the State
The reason for the observation was
that a meeting of the county superin-
tendents was held at Clemson few
days and those who are going out of
office in July were not invited to at
tend. If the fact of their going out
of Office is the reason for not wanting
them at meeting of superintendent at
Clemson by the same process of rea-
soning they would not be wanted at
Winthrop. That is all. President
Riggs says he wanted all of them but
he didn't have the price. That is all
right President Johnson has. invited
the retiring ones to come. The meet
ing comes the same time as the Press
association so we will have to decline

I notice from the paper that some
one wants to know why some dogs
are muzzled and sorne are not. That
man or woman must be an unsophls-
ticated countryman, who has not yet
been made wise as to the way OF, the
world, and I want to ask that he re-
main in his ignorance and simplicity,
because he will be much happier. The
question might be asked why the
muzzles that are adopted and called
muzzles. No use to muzzle the dogs
any way, until one goes mad and bites
some one. That's the time we get
interested in Newberry. We don't be-
lieve in that old motto about an ounce
of prevention. We are modern, we
are, and believe in the pound OF cure
doctrine. And we are not going to
cross the bridge until we get to it,
and then maybe We won't find any
bridge but if it is not there we will
go around or wade right through,
that's what we'll do. Oh, yes, dog
is arrested now and then, if he dare
to roam the street without one of
these halters. and you have to pay
dollar for him. and\that's more than
some Of them are vorth. And then
another dog roams the street without
fear. with no halter at all, and he is
not molested. 1t all depends, and why
shouldn't it. am not disturbed about
the dog question at all. My old dog,
Penny, died many years ago and I
buried him on the hillside at the old
farm.

No use for you to get excited. The

these days, however. Just the other
day we read where the legislature OF
some State was seriously considering
a bill prohibiting the women from
buttoning their dresses in the back,
unless they would use buttons at least
an inch in diameter.
The whole tendency Of the times is
towards a paternal government, and

NEGROES IN PULLMAN CARS.

Says the Newberry Herald and
News:
Negroes have been riding in Pull
man cars on interstate tickets for
long time. Wonder if Mr.. Richards
just found it out. The place to ad-
just the matter is by an act of con-
gress. The company could not refuse
them without being liable for damages.
Suppose we get after congress. "
When the Herald and News says that
the Pullman company could not refuse
to sell interstate tickets on Pullman
cars to negroes it lays down propo-
sition which may or may not be sound
in law. The question, we think, is still
TO be decided. AS a matter OF fact
there are able lawyers who are of the
opinion that the Southern States which
have separate coach laws are in posi-
tion now to protect themselves amply
at home without any act Of congress.
The supreme court of Mississippi has
so held. In a case which was decided
on the 9Th of last December it deter
mined that the so-called "Jim Crow
law of Mississippi applied in that State
to through sleeping coaches as we'll as
to day coaches.
The dicision was rendered in the
suit of Miss Pearl Morris, who had
been given q verdict against the Ala
bama and vicksburg Railroad for $15,-
600 because its employees refused to
eject three negroes from a sleeping car
in which she was riding. The court
held that the $4,000 was excessive,
but suggested a verdict OF $4,000. In
its decision. it held that if negroes are
to ride in sleeping cars in Mississippi
they must be furnished with separate
cars.
The Mississippi case may not be on
all fours with that stated by Commis-
sioner Richards. We have seen only
a synopsis Of the decision. Perhaps it
would be Of public advantage If the
railroad commission would pursue the
inquiry further.-News and Courier.
We are glad to ge set right as to
the law. We supposed that as we
had a separate coach law in this
State, there must be some Federal
statute to prohibit its enforcement an
interstate tickets and on Pullmans.
It should be the business of some
one to see that the law is enforced.
If the State supercedes the inter
State law why could the State not
prohibit the interstate shipments OF
liquor. We do not want to be mis-
understood. We think it would be
better for both races TO nave separate
Pullmans. In fact, there is stronger
reason to separate the races on the
Pullman cars those there is in the
day coaches. If our own statute
gives US authority to do it the
law should have been enforced. If
the negro did what we understand
Mr.. Richards to say he did, in
the casee mentioned by him. then
he was fortunate that there were no
men on that Pullman or there would
have been separate coach for him
without much ceremony. However,
we believe in obeying the law and
would like to see our Jim Crow law
enforced as to the Pullman company, if
We have the authority, as the News
and Courier says.

7 read in the Record the other day
where, they are getting busy on the
building of trolley from Augusta to
Columbia, and where they held mass
meeting at the little town of LeXing-
ton and appointed committees to Sc
cure the rights of way in order to Sc
cure the trolley line by that town.
And everything and everybody seem,
ed to be busy and interested in the
building of the line, and it will be
built, for what the people of COM
munity determine to do and go after
in the right spirit they can usually
get. There was talk once in the long
ago of building a trolley by Newberry.
l am afraid Newberry is something
like town of which read once. There
was talk of building a trolley into
the town and meeting was held to
discuss the matter, and one farmer
persisted III opposing it, but he would
advance no real reason for his posi-
ton Finally he was asked to state
just what his objections were. Then
he braced himself up and said: "This
is small village. We amt got many
folks here. If the trolley is brought
here it will be easy to get out, and
we might lose all the folks we have.
That's my objection" I was just Won
dering if that could possibly be the
objection of any the good people of
Newberry. We should wake up.
