"a Wise Judge

II Is not a new idea that thero may
exist an irreconeilablc difference
between the administration Of law
and the administration Of Justice.
The law ought to be the broadest

Of our laws are made without the
most distant reference either to our
sentiments Of justice or our best
minds. Anyone with carfare may
witness city government make laws;
anyone with more carfare may wit
ness q state legislature make laws;
anyone with still more oarfare may
see the national government make
laws; and, after doua 80, anyone
may say whether the statement jus.
made regarding justice and minds is
true.

Dial Took Lead in Mixson
Fight.

Washington, June 9.-Acting on
Recommendation of the senate COM
mittee on postofices and postroads
the senate formally rejected the nom
ination of B. j. Mixson to be postmas-
ter at Orangeburg tonight.
Senator N. B. Dial fought the nomi-
nation of Mixson and unquestionably
caused it's defeat. In a formal state
ment prepared for this newspaper to-
day Senator Dial set forth his rea-
sons for fighting Mixson. From that
statement it appears that postoffice
inspectors sent to Orangeburg to in
vestigate charges against Mixson did
not recommend that he be confirmed
by the senate, but that such charges
be dropped. In his statement Senator
Dial declares:
"I deem it necessary to state that
it was not a question of Mixson's
confirmation that the postofice in
spactors were investigating, their
sole purpose having been to ascer-
tain whether or not Mixson had ap-
preached Miss Alice Singletary, post
master at Bowman, either directly
or Indirectly, Informed her that if
she would pay him $500 he would see
that she would receive the nomina-
tion Of that office.
"The report of the two inspectors
stated that it was Mixson's desire to
cause Miss Singletary to pay him
$500 for his alleged influence. They
recommended that inasmuch as he
had subsequently become candidate
for the postoffice at Orangeburg, they
believed the investigation they had
made would prevent further attempts
of this nature. Therefore, they rec
omended that the case be closed.
"I wish simply to add that when
this matter of extortion of money
from woman came to my attention,
/ did all I could to run it down and
ascertain it's truth. The facts as found
to exist and which are now on file in
Washington substantiate Miss Single
tary's statement that she had been
asked for $500. would not for mo-
ment think of standing by and see
ing a good woman thus most outra-
geously imposed upon"

Heavy Rainfall Drawing to a
Close.

The period of excessive rainfall is
drawing to a Discriminating both
in frequency and quantity. 1t has
been unprecedented-the oldest in
habitants having seen nothing like
it. The Dutch Weather Prophet re-
members weather conditions from
the time of "Sherman's freshet" in
February, 1s65-he is not an old in
habitant, either-and no year since
that time has produced such a long
and continuous period of rainfall.
This forecaster is of the opinion that
weather conditions of 100 years ago
have been reproduced to great ex-
tent during the past five months when
there have not been five days of sue
cessive sunshine in the Piedmont,
with similar conditions prevailing
throughout the Southwest.
Seasonable rainfall will continue
throughout the summer. Serious
drought is not expected. The usual
normal temperature will prevail in
daytime with cool nights, the change
manifesting itself each day about
sundown.
September will not be the hot
month it was in 1920 and 1921, the
Dutch prophet says. Usually cool
weather will begin around Septen-
Der a. The most serious disturbance
of the character of a storm originat-
ing in the tropics and affecting the
South Atlantic coast will occur
around October 23.-The State.

Hymn S

Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear
1t is not night if Thou be near;
Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servants
eyes.
When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought, how sweet to
rest
Forever on my saviour's breast.
Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee can not live,
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee / can not die.
If some poor, wandering child of
Thine,
Has spurned today the voice di-
vine
Now, Lord, the gracious work be-
gin,
Let him no more lie down in sin.

Hymn 26
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom spread from shore to
shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no
more.
From north to south the princes
meet
To pay their homage at His feet;
While western empires own their
Lord,
And savage tribes attend His word.
To Him shall endless prayer be
made,
And endless praises crown His
head;
His name like sweet perfume shall
rise,
With ev'ry morning sacrifice.
Hymn ~
O Zion, haste, thy mission high full
filling,
To tell to all the world that God
is light;
That He who made all nations is
not willing
One soul should perish, lost in
shades of night.
Chorus
Publish glad tidings, tidings of
peace;
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and
release.
Behold how many thousands still
are lying
Bound in the darksome prison
house of sin,
With none to tell them Of the Sa-
viour's dying
Or of the life He died for them t.
live.
Proclaim to every people, tongu
and nation
That God, in whom they live an
move is love;
Tell how He stopped to save Hi
lost creation
And died on earth that man nigh
live above.
