A PANAMA EDITION.


News and Courier is we'll done, always.
That newspaper does not play to the
galleries in grand stand displays.
There is no gaudy yellow Journalism
about it. II "pursues the even tenor
of its way and is steady and reliable
in its course. It does not seek to
get into or keep in the glaring and
binding limelight of sensationalism
at the expense of decent Journalism.
It comes as near to being clean,
pure and safe paper as it is possible
for one to be on the rough, unsettled,
stormy, troubled, impure and dirty sea
of Journalism. Hence, what it says
carries weight and what it does holds
good, and the influence of last Fri
days edition will be benefcially felt
by future years.
The Panama edition of that really
great newspaper-great in its every
day steadfastness-is to be lasting in
its accomplishment of good, a vast
deal of good, not alone to Charleston,
but to South Carolina and the terri
tory touching the plumb Line Port
to Panama" It is something to con-
template, this Panama edition of 81
pages of intensely interesting and
truly important reading matter. This
immense edition ought to be preserv-
ed in South Carolina homes for COM
ing generations. 1t is rich in possibil~
tiles, and it is not surprising that the
News and Courier should have sue
ceeded in producing so magnificent
production, but after recovering from
the thrill of amazemGnt at first be-
holding the enormous edition, second
thought of grasping the situation is
pleasant and gratifying. Bright and
promising is the view presented by the
sublime ''port to Panama" The man
aging secretary of the Charleston
chamber of commerce, Mr.. A. V. Smell,
says:
"The eightieth meridian passes
through the west end of Lake Ontario,
the east end of Lake Erie, the city of
Pittsburg and Charleston, the Pana-
ma Canal, touches the west coast of
South America and Guayquil, with
practically the entire continent of
South America to the east. In other
words, a plumb line dropped from the
mouth of the Charleston harbor would
pass directly through the Panama
Canal. This is the reason why Char
lesion has been ceHed "The Plumb
Line Port to Panama"
It is a big idea to grasp-the mighty
ships from Panama to Charleston
coal, grain and so forth pouring into
the city for distribution throughout
the country, Charleston being, as. it
we're, the mouth of a funnel through
which the products of a content will
pass on the way to the Panama canal"
The Panama edition of the News
and Courier is feast, banquet Of
good things. =

GOV. BLEASE ON DICK LAW.
Refuses to Muster Out Militia and
Scores Dick LaW-Thinks Mistake
To Have Passed It

Columbia, S. c., May 81. 1913
"You can simply say to Mr.. Mills
that the sooner he withdraws the con-
troll of the United States government
over the volunteer militia of South
Carolina, the better it will be for
South Carolina, and all the people Of
the United States" said Governor
Blease in a letter to Adjt. Gen. Moore,
this morning, refusing to muster out
some of the militia companies of this
State. The letter Of the governor to
the adiutant general follows:
"Your letter of May 81 received, with
enclosures from Brig. Gen. A. L. Mills.
"You ask me to inform you of my de-
cision at an early date. 1 take pleas
ure in doing so Immediately.
"In the first place, have recently
expressed my opinion of the Dick
law and repeat that I think that it
was a great mistake on the part of our
neople to go into it. That covers Sec
ton 8 of his letter.
Gas to Section 4, in which he states
TT is not the policy of the war depart
ment to foster the maintenance of or
panizations,' etc. You can simply say
to Mr.. Mills that, in my opinion, the
sooner he withdraws the control of the
United States government over the
volunteer militia of South Carolina the
better it will be for South Carolina,
and all thu people of the Southern
States. and that this would meet with
nv hearty approval as governor and
commander-in-chief Of the South Car
olina volunteer militia.
"As to Section ), in which he says it
would appear that the only way 10
remedy existing conditions would be to
muster the organizations out Of the
service AS governor and comman-
der-in-chief I do not propose to do
any such thing. His letter was a
waste of time and material"
Parole and Pardon.
Henry Myers, colored, convicted at
the July, 1911, term of court for Barn
we'll county of burglary and larceny
and sentenced to five years on the
chain gang, was today paroled by
the governor. The prisoners physical
and mental condition was bad, accord
ing to papers filed in the case, and the
petition was signed by Senator Patter-
son, James M. Patterson and others.
C. H. Phillips, white, convicted at
the September, 1905, court for Berke-
ley county of larceny of live STICK and
sentenced to two years Imprisonment,
was today pardoned by the governor
for the purpose of restoring citizen

county officers signed the petition ask

NO RECORD SET
BUT THURSDAY HOT
According to Weather Man
Average Was Maintained,
But the Rainfall Was Shy
About Half an Inch.

Mr.. Temperature was no comeback
Thursday for he failed to equal his
record for July set on Wednesday by
FIVE degrees. Along about 2 o'clock

greatest efforts but the best he could
do was to reach the 81 mark. which
in passing II might be well 10 state
that there were few negative answers
20 hat old ore rs II hot enough for
you?"
Wednesday set the record for the
entire month Of July. While the past
month seemed hotter than some Of
the Julys we have known, it was not
above the average according to the
monthly report OF Henry Swain, Off
cial recorder Of st. Joe county
weather.
n average for the month was
74.4 which is about the average for
all Julys. There were several hot
days during the month and also a few
cool ones. The coolest days Of the
month was on July 25 wnen the tenn
perature fell down to the 20 degree
mark. This cool spell lasted for a
few days n It seemed like il was
going 10 asst for sometime but like
all good things it was too good to
last.
While the temperature was about
the average the rainfall for the month
fell below the mark set by other
Julys. During the month there were
$40 inches of rain. The average for
the month is around $50. The half
an inch would have been welcomed
by the farmers and by ever the anna
teur gardeners Of the city.
June was one OF the dryest months
experienced in some years. This set
local crops backward and the lack
Of an average rainfall in July did
not help matters. The supply Of gar
den truck is limited and as a result
the dealers are demanding a good
price for vegetables.
Prices this year are almost three
times as high as they were last yeah.
Beans are selling for 13 cents a
pound compared TO FIVE cents last
year.. Tomatoes are beginning to ar
rive on market but they are by no
means as plentiful as they were last
year. Cabbage plants are feeling the
effects Of the hot sun and the crop
will be short.
Potatoes are expected to be high
this fall. The crop is damaged to a
great extent and it is expected that
the price will go as high as it did a
couple OF years ago. Many farmers
are predicting that it will go higher.

NEW USE FOUND
FOR POWER SPRAYER

A new use has been found fer a
power sprayer. The heavy snow hav-
ing melted slowly the earth has become
saturated with water and a number Of
cellars have been flooded from seepage.
The basement Of the home of L. Z.
Ireland, on the East Side, was found
last week to have been badly flooded.
His winters supply Of wood was soaked
and the waters came up over the base
Of his furnace. After resorting TO fg-
ures MIR. Ireland found that be had
5000 gallons Of aqua pura in the cellar
and set about at the problem Of getting
il out.
The deluge was removed by means Of
a Bean Power sprayer. secured from
D. Mcdonald, local agent for the or
chard implement. The new Bean
sprsyer has a syphon attachment, and
the machine was driven up 10 the
cellar window and the engine started.
In about four hours the syphon had
drawn the 5000 gallons of water from
the cellar, a lift of about 10 feet, and
1Mr. Ireland was again entering diplo-
matte relations with his furnace. Al
though the water was full OF sawdust
and debris from the wood, the syphon
never clogged once during the work.

PLAYERS LEAVE
GIRL STRANDED

That fortune often fails to smile on
troupes of transforming players, was
shown by the sad case of Mrs. Emily
Mason, who was left here last Thurs
day by the "Alorg the Kennebec"
company with OILY $40 to her name, an
unpaid board bill and 5000 miles from
home. The young woman, who is soon
to become a mother, appealed to the
city authorities here Thursday and was
sent to the county authorities. She as
serted that her husband lived in Hol-
yoke, Mass, where other relatives also
resided, but that he was unable to send
for her. She did not blame the show
company with which she was travelling,
stating that they had played in hard
luck since they had been on the road
and had made but little money.
The county officials, after an investi-
cation of the girls case, purcased a
charity ticket to Holyoke for her.
