CATAWBA COUNTY
FIGHT rs BEGUN
Advocates Ask Manning for
Commission

Inc first gun in the fight for Ca
tawDa county was fired Monday at
a public hearing before Gov. Man
ng, which was attended by nearly
800 citizens of York. Chester and
falrileld counties. A majority of
those attending the hearing we're
from Rock Hill, the proposed county
seat. After listening to the argu-
ments by attorneys TOR both sides
Gov. Manning said that he would
take the matter under consideration
and later announce his decision.
Advocates Of the new county told
the governor that the question ~
appointing a commission to investi-
gate the proposition and make re-
port was the onely one for the chief
executive TO consider at this time.
Opponents of the new unit claimed
that the new county can not be form
ed because it is clearly in violation
OF the Legislative act of 1912. which
forbids "shoestring" counties.
The advocates in reply stated that
the question of the shape OF the
county was not up for consideration
and that the appointment of com
mission was the only matter that
should be brought before the gov
ernor.
X. II. Welch. of the Columbia bar.
supported by more than 200 advo-
Gates, appeared in behalf of the
new county. Attorneys making ar
gument in opposition to the county
Were: w. W. Lewis. of York: J. l..
Glenn and A. l.. CASTOR. of Chester;
j. f. Mcdonald. Of Fairfield: and
G. w. Ragsdale. of Fairfield.
The argument before the governor
was opened by Mr. Welch. who re-
viewed the laws that have been pass
cd governing the formation OF new
county. He said that it was not
necessary at this time to 20 into the
question Of area. wealth and popula
tion of the new unit, as was the case
IL years ago. before the passage OF
certain acts.
THE only issue" said Mr.. WeIch,
lis the appointment OF commission
and we do not intend to ask you to
order this election contrary to any
existing law

NOT DESTITUTE OF KINDNESS
Big Man Had Some ThouahtfuIness In
Spite of His Exhibition Of
Selfish Spirit.

The tube train was crowded with
commuters hurrying to catch trains
out to Jersey towns. Just as the doors
were closing two men rushed on-one,
little old Jew, gray and bent; the
other. big, fat, prosperous loo King

stepped all over the old Jew and sew

murmured some words as to whether
this train was right for "such and such
a place. shouted yes" from the
guard and another shove from the fat
man. and the old fellow subsidized.
When we finally reached the station
and everyone tried to beat his neigh.
Dor on, what was our surprise to see
the big man stand quietly aside, take
the old Jew by the arm, tell him this
wss his stop, and give him further di-
rections as to his destination-repeat
ing his words twice. for the old man
was too scared to comprehend at first
and then go on his way-New York

\ POOR LAW

! It's poor rule that won't work
both ways. We don't know who first
gave utIe. .fIo59> { ~te that well known
aphorism, but we take the liberty of
making a parody thereon, NO the ef-
feet that ITS a bad law that won't
work both ways
/ 1t is commonly known that there
is written on the statute books OF our
state a law known as the "Iaw Of
libel. " IN short. if a newspaper,
either consciously or unconsciousIy.
deliberately or without intent. prints
statement about a man that is i'm
the slightes. measure deroeatory to
him, that man can bring suit for dam
ages against the newspaper. In fact
newspaper can be sued for printing
an error. II a white nan is erron-
eously referred to as negro. that
constitutes grounds for a suit. and
suits have been brought against pa
pers of this state on such grounds.
A newspaper may receive from a cor
respondent an article for publication
which it takes to he correct and
proper and prints in good faith. but
IL there is anything in the article
that is construed as an unwarranted
reflection on any one, the newspa per
regardless of it's innocence in the
matter-may be sued for libel by the
offended party.
The merits or dement's of the law
is not the question under considera-
tion just here. We may save the
topic for future discussion.
The most irresponsible and worth
less creature in human form that
walks the face of the earth may
bring on the above grounds against
the newspaper that prints anything
concerning him which he thinks is
derogatory. He may not win his case
but he can put the paper to a lot
of trouble and expense defending the
suit. But this same irresponsible
person may stump the state. II he
chooses, and both publicly and priv
ately denounce any and all newspa-
Ders. newspaper publishers. newspa-
per editors and newspaper workers
in the most slanderous terms imagiu-
able, and the newspapers. newspaper
publishers. newspaper editors and
newspaper workers are without re-
dress. Newspapers of this particular
state have for a good many years
come IN for much OF this sort of
treatment from the hands of poliu-
clans. and others not politicians. but
persons with crouch. real or i'm
aginary, against newspapers gener-
ally or some newspaper In particular. |
The newspapers must take IL. for
they have no other choice in the
matter. And that's why we said Iva
the beginning that it's a poor law
that won't work both ways.-Anier-
