At Rest.

On March 22nd 1915, that messenger
that must and will come 10 US ali at
some time, entered the home Of Mr..
and Mrs. Willard Goodman, and bore
upon its wings the spirit OF their moth
er, Mrs NJ E. Goodman, to her etern-
al home where pain and suffering is
felt 40 more.
The loving mother was spared TO her
devoted children 69 years. She had so
entwined her precious self amid the
hearts of her devoted children, and
friends, that they feel their loss as on
" devoted caillren. !aod friends can
feel. May the giving away OF this
precious soul be as bright and Shin
ing beacon light to lead others into
the portals of that celestrial city, and
then we shall all understand. His dis
pensatioa and rejoice in the sunshine
OF his love. =
Mother thou vert mild and lovely,
Gentle as the sunshine breeze,
Pleasant as the air of the evening
AS it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Thou no more shalt join our number
Thou no more our songs can know.
Dearest mother, thou hast left US,
And thou loss we deeply feel.
But tits God that hast bereft US
He can al! our sorrows heal.
Yet again We hope to meet thee,
When the storms OF life have fed,
Then in heaven with Joy we'll greet
thee,
Where no farewell tear is she.
A True Friend.

l desire to make a public an
nouncement that on a recent
visit to New York, in company
with Senator J. A. Banks, we
made arrangements so that cot
ton in state warehouses can be
financed at a rate of interest on
straight loans not exceeding five
per cent, and on bank accept
ances, at the present money
rate, including brokers' commits

only difficulty is on this end of
the line, in providing the nec-

To the Editor of The News
and Courier: The extra session
of the General Assembly passed
the law known as the State
Warehouse Act. There are
many men in South Carolina
who loot; upon that extra ses-
sion as a huge joke. There are
many men also in South Caro-
lima who do precious little think
ing of their own accord, and who
are usually led into action
through some device, plan or
cunning of others practlced in
the art of serving indirectly.
Honest minds are often inno
Gently led away from paths of
truth ard loyalty and purpose
by reason Of ingenious argument
which unconsciously influences
and acts as an intellectual OPT
ate. My short experience in
public life has convinced me
that a people is without repre-
sentation that sends to the Gen.
eral Assembly legislator who
has not the power of discern
ment, who cannot analyZe the
orators rhetoric and separate
therefrom outside infuences-if
there be any-or who indiffer
emily neglects to study condi-
tlons and to deduct therefrom
cause, effect and a remedy. or
who permits political whims to
bias and prejudice and stultify
what ought to be his honest
service.
The only remaining souvenir
of the extra session is the State
Warehouse Act, but this relic in
time will immortalize the history
of that extra session. There
are many men in South Carlina
who will laugh at this sugges-
ton, but there are a few who
will believe it. Those who do
not are tho men who for one
cause or another have wilfully
neglected or purposely refused
to study the merits Of the sys-
tenn and have absolutely no in.

| 8 lawyer could be found, let his
lust for money be what it will,
that could be induced to take a
case into our courts to disturb
our method of handling the right
of suffrage, Notwithstanding the
constitution of the United States
guarantees the right Of suffrage
to every citizen of the age of p
years unless disqualified for
crime, and just so with the pro-
vision relating to lynching that
permits the innocent taxpayers
of a county TO be mulct in dam
ages for the acts of perhaps an
irresponsible few. or perhaps,
for the acts of individuals from
some other county.
We do not censure the jury in
this case for their action, they
were led to their conclusions by
the strong appeal of Lawyer
Davis FOR civic Righteousness,
and to uphold the law as it is
written, but should the supreme
court grant a new trial, we hope
a jury will giean enough from
tue evidence to justify them IN
saving the taxpayers of Claren
don from this unjust burden.
When the papers in this case
we're served The Times did pub.
lish as news extraordinary, the
complaint as filed, to let the peo-
pie know there was an attempt
being made to extort from them
$1,000 in damages for an alleged
act that they were Innocent of,
and it is true that we predicted
at the time. no jury would allow
this injustice, relying of course,
.upou the evidence disclosing a
justification in the law to save
them; that their is such evidence
is believed by the attorneys for
the county, because. they have
appealed the case to the supreme
court, and it will depend upon
that tribunal whether or not
Lawyer Davis and his clients
will ever feel the texture OF Clar
endon Couuty's taxpayers
money.
So far as the motive prompt
ing US in securing legislative
action in the matter of legal ad-
vertising, we can also ask Law
yer Davis to s'oWN UP" if IN
taking a case to lnulct lis peo-
pie out of $4,000 damages for the
alleged lynching of a negro
whether "a cowardly murder"
or not, if he was not prompted
by the prospect of an entlclng
fee? We hardly think he would
undertake to impress this people
that he was prompted by un-
selfish motives, but that his act
was with the sole view of max
ing money for himself, rather
than any interest he had in the
'sdead mans family" Let us
be candid, all of us are more or
less selfish, and when our enc!
mics strike US it is natural that
we should forget the Injunction
to turn the other cheek.
''Self-love, my Lord, is not so
vile a sin
AS self-nesiee ting"
Therefore, did we not defend
ourself from those who attempt
to "make serious inroads into
your (our) profits in the news
paper business" for their indi-
vidual profit, against the wishes
of some they are protesting to
serve, we would be guilty OF the
vile sin of self neglecting that
Shakespeare alludes to in his
play of Henry V. more espec-
iallv, when we have to contend
with avarice as well as spleen.
