On the day previous, in Marlboro

On Friday last in Greenville coun-

Threat.
Five killings i'm different parts
o, the state within the space of
three days and three of them on the
same day.
Men and brethren, when will this
thing end? The condition of law
lessness and bloodshed i'm this state
is fearful and it is high time the
people were coming to a realization
of what it means.
We propose in our editorial col
umns to discuss the matter from time
to time as occasion arises. We feel
that as a public journal we would be
remiss in our duty if we did not CON
tinue to cry out as we have been do
ing for some time against blood
letting in this state. Crime appears
to be rampant in South Carolina,
overshadowing every other problem
that confronts our people. Until a
healthy public sentiment against
crime and criminals takes the place
of the maudlin sentimentality now
so prevalent, human life will never
be safe nor will the manslayer re-
ceive the punishment he deserves.

day.
The most interesting and enthus-

ty Educational Association was held
on Saturday last at the Central grad
ed school. Splendid papers were
read by Mrs. w. Il. Taylor and Misses
Fisher, Latham and Usher. Reading
and mathematics were the special
subjects treated of IN these papers.
1t is noteworthy perhaps to mention
that not one male member who was
to take part on the program was
present. But notwithstanding they
did not see fit to be present, the
meeting was most successful one.
Open discussion of a number of
school problems was led by Superin-

RAILWAYS WITHDRAW

Last Obstacle to Arbitration is
Removed by Their Con-
cession.

New York. July %. The eastern
railroads today Withdrew their de-
mand that their grievances against the
employees should be considered by the
federal board appointed to arbitrate
the demand for better wages and
working conditions made by the con
ductors and trainmen.
This concession apparently removed
the only remaining obstacles to arbi-.
tration. With this question disposed
of, the railroad managers and the
labor leaders expected to reach a
speedy agreement on the text of the
question to be laid before the board Of
arbitration.
In statement explaining their po-
sition the managers said they. have
made this concession because they felt
|it was their duty to protect the travel
ing public. 4.
After a brief conference with tho
labor leaders. the mediators announced
that the articles of arbitration would
present the is original demandssiof the
employees without. change. The only
point won by Sthe railroads was an
agreement that the decision OF the ar y
|bitrators Should become effective Oc-
tober instead OF being. retroactive.

NORTH STATES TO u. s.

The cession of a portion of
northern Mexico to the United

asked of that country for dam
