ders told the members Of the board
that We'll, Roth & Co.. were only bond
brokers, who speculated on options,
and that they would not take the
bonds unless they could previously
place them with bona fide buyer at
a fair profit. The usual manner Of
getting around a statuary provision
requiring that bonds be not sold at
less than par Is to have the bidder Of

the money market Is easier than when
the first attempted sale was made, 1t

Dunn, which is perhaps his correct
name, is now behind the bars in the
county Jail at Gastonia and will be
tried at the August term Of CASTOR
superior court charged with breaking
into a safe at McAdenville some years
ago. The case was tried at Dallas
about five years ago and alleged ac-
completes Of Dunn were sentenced to
terms in prison. One Of the men
turned states evidence and accused
Irish Jimmy" of playing the leading
role in a series of crimes and safe
breakings which occurred in this sec
tion about the time Of the McAden-
Vile affair. Efforts to locate Dunn had
been unsuccessful until a few weeks
ago it was learned that he was ~

went to that city at the time and
spent several days, expecting to bring
the prisoner here, but Dunn fought
extradition and carried the case into
the courts Of New York. Mr.. Rhyme
returned home and In response to a
telegram Tuesday from Postoffice In

Mr.. Gonzales is the principal bene-

Mr. Gonzales Is the principal bene-
ficiary.
It is not necessary for US to say this,
and it would no doubt pay us better to
leave 1t unsaid. We have known the
State since it's establishment. and un-
der both editors. We have felt its COM
mendation and its censure alternately,
and also experienced its resentment.
Generally speaking its attitude toward
most public questions has been broad
and liberal enough; but In its attitude
toward local questions, and especially
toward its country contemporaries it
is, to say the least, narrow.
Its general policy. is one that any
fairly intelligent editor of experience
can easily understand. 1t is good, very
good, to those papers that are content
to want what 1t wants and thinks as 1t
thinks. It Is kind and good to these
papers as long as they act that way.
But where a newspaper presumes to
really think for itself, and follow a
course that isdifferent from the course
Of the State, the State is an adept in
all the little schemes that have ever
been Matched for giving expression to
its resentment, and 1t does not hesi-
tate to practice them all.
There has been some Improvement
in the State Of late years. Formerly 1t
was the established custom Of that pa
per to rely mainly upon ridicule and
abuse in controversy; but Of late years
1t has grown more parliamentary, with
only occasional lapses to its old habit.
In this the power and influence Of the
State has been enhanced rather than
otherwise; but this power and infiu-
ence would be still further enhanced If
1t would abandon the disagreeable pol
icy we have mentioned.
AS to whether Mr.. Gonzales really
intends to go to Cuba, we do not feel
warranted in saying. When we re-
printed from the Spartanburg Herald,
some time ago, the first intimation we
had seen of this gentleman being con-
sidered for this place. although many
other papers had printed the same
thing. we were the only one to be Sc
lected by name for denial Of the prop
osition that Mr. Gonzales was really
an applicant" for the position. Our
special and particular attention was
called to the difference between the
man hunting the job and the job hunt
ing the man. From what was said by
the State then, we were left in doubt
as to whether Mr.. Gonzales really in
tended to go to Cuba, or merely want
ed a tender Of the appointment for
such benefit as might be derived from
a disinterested refusal. So until he
says, we do not know what he Is going
to do.
In the event that Mr.. Gonzales takes
the Cuban mission, we sincely wish
him success, and in the event he elects
to remain where he is, we wish him no
less success.
But we really wish the State, un-
doubtedly the most influential news
paper in South Carolina. and unQues-
tionably the daily Of the largest circu-
lation and greatest resources, would
assume a broader attitude toward pub
lie questions generally, and especially
toward its county contemporaries
both those which servilely seek to act
as faithful echoes, and those which in
dependently seek to do right according
to their own lights as the State itself
claims to be doing.

Lawyers and lawbrea reakers.-One
great need of this day and generation
Is men OF courage, men who are will
ing to stand or fall alone, not. waiting
to see what others are going to say or
do In certain eXigency. In q recent
issue Of the Walterboro Press and
Standard this statement was made in
discussing the whisky situation in
Colleton county: "A rumor is going
the round on the streets that a prom
inent attorney has said that ne would
agree to refuse to take blind tiger
cases, If the other attorneys at this
bar would do likewise"
1t seems that this particular mem
ber of the Walterboro bar had a good
impulse, his conscience giving direc-
ton to what course he should pursue,
but he was lacking the courage to act
upon 1t. Why did he not say: Let
other lawyers do as their sense of duty
and their conception Of professional
propriety directs, but as for me I will
not defend men who bear the ear
marks Of blind tiger" Such a stand
as that would have a wholesome effect
upon the bar and upon the communi-
ty.
The Advertiser is pleased to state
that there are members of the Edge
field bar who will not for a stipulated
sum undertake the defense Of men
who are known to sell whisky in def
ance Of law and to the decentralization
of the community. Furthermore, these
attorneys do not hesitate to take such
a stand openly. Walterboro needs a
few lawyers Of this type.-Edgefield

There is big howl Of advice to
President Wilson that he should fol-
low the lead Of President Taft and
veto the sundry civil bill because of
the provision exempting labor and
organizations from the
operation of the anti-combine provi-
sion of the Sherman law. What the
president is going to do has not de-
veloped; but we think the bill should
go through as 1t Is. Organized capital
has been taking care Of itself regard
less of the Sherman law or any other
law. and we have no sympathy with
the idea Of hampering labor in any
such way as is proposed. The produc-
ing element has enough trouble to hold
its own against combinations Of capi-
tai, the antitrust laws regardless.

The Anderson Intelligencer hears OF
a rumor to the effect that Associate
Justice Watts is thinking Of resigning
from the bench and running for gov
ernor. Although Judge Watts is able
and popular, and has numerous friends
and admirers throughout the state. we
must confess that this story is little
surprising; but until there should de-
velop more authentic information on
the subject, comment would seem to
be unnecessary. OF course, If Judge
Watts chooses to run, he has a right
to do so, and we do not hesitate to say
that If he should be elected governor
he would fill the place with credit to
himself and the people Of the state.
