The Professors Reason.

A well-known professor went to his
club every afternoon and ordered a
glass of whiskey in the good old days
He invariably drank it with his eyes
closed, and this little eccentricity had
been commented upon many times by
his fellow members. At last the more
daring of them undertook to get an
explanation of the oft-repeated pecu-
liarity. Approaching the professor he
said: You come in here every after
noon at the Same hour and order a
glass of whiskey. There is nothing ex-
traordinary in that, but do tell US
why you close your eyes when you
drink it,
We'll, said the professor, ''it's like
this; when I see a glass of whiskey it
makes my mouth water, and l don't
care to dilute the liquor"

ing every move of the officers. If the
daily newspapers were so ANXIOUS
that the majesty OF the law be pre-
served, why was it that a dispatch
was hastened out of Savannah the
minute the officers left with the two
prisoners? They left, as we recall,
at 1:15, and doubtless the papers
were on the streets and sold before
the officers reached Charleston. Like
wise, on leaving Augusta at 3:13 a.
M, the daily newspapers, or some OF
them, carrying the news of the de-
parture, were distributed before the
officers could possibly have reached
Savannah, or scarcely any other prls-
on. This played directly into the
hands Of the so-called mob. Our idea
of running newspaper is that there
is news to be printed and news not
to be printed. If the daily newspa-
pers had been silent as to the officers
leaving Savannah with the prisoners,
doubtless they could have been lodged
in the penitentiary before the mob
members ever knew of the move, al
though we see no very good reason
why the prisoners should not have
been incarcerated in Charleston as
we'll as in Columbia And we do not
see any real reason why the officers
should not avoid possible bloodshed
whenever possible by outwitt1ng the
mob. The officers would be entirely
justifable in making stand for the
protection of prisoners, and If they
had no doubt good many hot-head-
ed, but otherwise good citizens,
would now be in their graves. AS it
is, the prisoners are safe, for the
time, at least, and nobody had to be
Stayed for their protection. How
ever, if the newspapers will again
assist the would-be lynchers by pub
fishing the removal of the prisoners
from Charleston the minute it occurs,
no doubt there will be further
trouble, and who will be the blame
for it? On the other hand, we do not
think the majority Of officers ever
seriously trouble themselves about
the punishment of mob members.
They never know who participates in
a mob, although it generally seems
to be a matter of pretty common
knowledge to everybody else.

Concerted action of some sort
should be taken by the merchants as
q protest against the high~handed
methods of the state tax commission.
The commission has selected a few
Industries, evidently, to pick on, one
of which is the mercantile business.
Merchants are required to value Their
stock at 100 cents on the dollar, and
then the AZ per cent. valuation is fix
ed. Other lines of business are per-
mitted to value their own property,
at least to some extent. 1t is rare
thing that a householder values his
goods for taxation at more than S1OO,
and nothing is said or done about it,
even though the goods are frequently
worth $1,000 or more, and it is COM
mon for horses and mules and wag-
ons to go down at $40 to $50 each.
The finest land in Bamberg county is
returned at less than $500 an acre,
when the salable value is 500 or
more per acre. One merchant can
do nothing; it will take money to
fight this matter, and it will be cheap
er for the average merchant to pay
the taxes rather than contest his as
sessment. What about a meeting of
the merchants of Bamberg to start
something? The Herald will under
take all necessary publicity and will
assist financially in such an under
taking.

KEARSE

kearse, Aug. 22.-J. F. kearse,

est man in our section, was surprised
and delighted on the 18th instant to
have nearly all his children and
grandchildren and a number of other
relatives to meet at his home to cele-
brate his S1st birthday. About forty
guests we're registered. 1t has been
said in we olden times that women
couldn't KEEP a secret, but surely this
theory has been exploded, for the
lady folks in this home made all
preparations for this occasion without
letting papa" know it. About eleven
o'clock the guests began to arrive,
and at 1 o'clock a bountiful picnic
dinner was served on the lawn, the
table being adorned with a beautiful
cake with eighty-one candles. After
dinner the old folks told stories of
the long ago, while the younger ones
INDUCED in games, etc., till the hour
of departure which came all too soon.
A number Of useful gifts was given
with the love and esteem of the don
ors. Among these gifts was one
which the owner looks upon as es-
pecially useful CD this being dain-
ty bottle of toilet water, which he
keeps on his mantlepiece, where he
can admire it's fragrance and beauty.

About the most amusing thing OF
the year was the letter of Judge
Hammond demanding an apology OF
South Carolina for alleged invasion
of Georgia by South Carolina mob
Truly this ought to go under the
head of the joke department. 1t is
related that the streets Of Jerusalem
were kept clean by everybody sweep
ing in front of his own door. When
Georgia ceases to be the leading ex-
ponent of the lynch law, then we will
join Judge Hammond in demanding
an apology of any state that permits
mob invasion into it's bounds.
