Figures Do not lie.

Charleston Sun.
It has been The Suns practice
to discredit and discountenance
the calamity walters who have for
the past year been predicting and
proclaiming all sorts of commercial
and industrial misfortune sand set
backs to the State Oh account of
the Administration being in the
hands of a man who was elected
Governor in accordance with the
wishes of the common people of
the State and by an undoubted
majority of the ballots cast by
them.
"Tillman is driving away capi-
tai from the State," has been
constantly dinned into our ears
until we came almost to believe
it.
"He could not place the State
bonds to advantage" was said by
those who wished to have the
placing of the bonds themselves,
because capitalists would have no
confidence in the credit of a State
governed by such a man.
And the royalty alasl the
phosphate royalty. He had laid
his mailed hand on the great and
sacred Coosaw monopoly and
crushed it and terminated the
States revenue from that source,
at one fell blow. Florida was
in the market now and the glory
of South Carolina had departed
forever.
But Tillman not only placed
the bonds and extorted from the
News and Courier, the Columbia
Sta,e and other calamity howlers
the reluctant confession that he
had done it with ability and to
the best advantage, considering
prevailing conditions in the
financial world, but-what?
We confess to our unspeskable
astonishment and amazement!
In year Of general business
depression ard of nearly III :
precedented monetary scarcity;
amid the talk of panics, the con-
tinuous resounding crash of fail
ing banks and of old, longes
tablished business houses; of
strikes, of labor famines-nay, of
death and devastation by cyclones
and floods at .home-in such
year, under Governor Tillman's
Administration, there has been IN
vested in the State $7,413,000 as
against $4,969,750 last year, an in
crease of $2,44, ,250,and the rec epts
from phosphate royalty is $751;
O2S2, and $233,544,43 respectively

for the fiscal years 1892 and

for the fiscal years 1912 and
1928.
THE showing made is the hand
soonest for years.. is the News and
Courier's painful admission, "The
increase has been very heavy, and
the State derives more revenue
this year from that source than
ever before, it repeats with mel
ancholy iteration.
The Columbia State is perforce
as candid in it's admission as the
News and Courier. This is the
way it SUNNI arises the report Of
Secretary Of State:
yesterday making the close of
the fiscal year of 1928, the
Secretary of State compiled his
annual report of the charters
issued during the year and a re-
markably good showing, considsr-
ing the hard times, is made, as
compared to the preceding year.
Less charters were issued than
during the year before, but the
aggregate capital invested in them
exceeds the preceding year by
over two millions of dollars.
"Last year 1913 commissions
were issued with a total of 76
charters. This year 1872 COM
missions went out with total of
70 charters. The aggregate cap
ital invested in The 70 companies
inaugurated last year, including.
of course, the increases in capitsl
stock of several concerns previously
chartered, was $4, ,969,720 as against
$7,41S,O00 for this year. This is a
good, showing, but it is impossible
of course, to tell from the e
figures whether the various con-
Germs have boen making or losing
money on the capital invested.
1t shows however, that the peo-
pie of this State have not been
afraid to invest their money in
ne. enterprises and that South
Carolina is still keeping up in the
onward march of prograss."
Now, contemporaries what are
you going: to 10 about il? FOR a
year, at lest, disaster to the State
in consequence OF the Tillman
administration has been the burden
of your song. Doubtless YOU were
honestly mistaken III your pre-
visions-evidently you were mislet;
by your perjndices rather than
prompted by intentional mis-
representation, because you would
scarcely choose to pursue such a
course from calculation when the
refutation would follow so closely
to put you to confusion. But you
are indubitably cornered by the
figures and the most graceful way
out of it that we can see is to con-
fess that you were mistaken in
your facts-not deliberately wrong
in your Intentions.

WALLACE ON DioP ENpf
He Holds That the Law is Coz Sti-
.tutiOnal and Valid.

The following extract is from a
special dispatch from Anderson
published in the Columbia Register
giving report of Judge Wallace's
recently delivered opinion on the
Evans Dispensary law:
Judge Wallace at once delivered
orally a carefully prepared and
unmistakable decision, overruling
the demurrer and sustaining the
Dispensary Act as clearly con-
stitutional.
He held that selling liquor, ex-
cept as provided iu the Dispensary
Act is an offense against the law.
Second, that the law makes such
all off a misdemeanor and that
the court can infiet penalty there
for, under Section 265 of the
Statutes. Third that the Act is
clearly constitutional.
In deciding the third point, he
was very emphatic that the pur-
pose of the Legislature in passing
the Act was 10 restrict the sale of
liquor. He opposed Judge Hud.
sons view that the purpose was
to raise revenue and held that the
raising of revenue was only in
cidental, He held that the Act
was one to regulate and restrict
the traffic in liquors for the public
good and was without doubt pro-
per exercise of the police power of
the State. He said that most of the
objections to it were as to the ques-
ton of the wisdom or the unwisdom
of the Act, with which the courts
have nothing to do; that was for
the people, who by the ballot
box can correct mistakes in legis-
lation, if they think there are mis-
takes.
AS for him, be was clearly of the
opinion that the Act was honestly
intended to diminish drunkenness
and the other evils arising from
the liquor traffic, and he was
bound to say that from his own
observation it was accomplishing
its purpose.
The motion was overruled; notice
of intention to appeal was given
and, on motion the case was con-
tinued to await the decision of the
Supreme Court.

Edgefeld has no third partyites
within her territory. The only
persons of any prominence who
were ever suspected of leaning IN
that direction, Hon. W. J. Talbert
and Hon. W. H. Yeldell, have an
nounced in these columns that
they are democrats, and expect to
remain such, and will fight all
other political organizations 10 the
death. While this is true, yet
with Haskeilism again raising its
hornie front in the Hampton mani
festo on the one side, and Tom
Watson's third partyism on the
other, it behooves the democracy
of Edgefeld to stand to its guns.
Between this Scylla and that
Charybdis there is political safety.

ST. JOINS, n. r., Aug. 29-Further dis
couraging news concerning the expedition
comes from Labrador According TO the
last report Peary was at Davis inlet on
Aug. 2, and on the 5th had reached Main.
There he tried to purchase dogs again, but
failed He offered forty cents for dogs, but
as they are worth s. or s. each the Esqut-
maux would not sell, 80 Peary left for
Okkall, the next Morayian settlement. As
he would not pay greater prices there
either, he could not get dogs Then he
announced his intention OF going to He
bron, Ramah and other settlements fur
ther north making every effort TO secure
dogs at those places, and il unsuccessful
would depend on getting dogs at Disco,
Greenland, as a last resort
Dogs are now doubly necessary to PeaIy
as the burros all perished before Main was
reached, and consequently It is impossible
for the expedition to accomplish anything
without a far greater number Of dogs than
at first was considered necessary. It is
believed here that Peary's actions are
suicidal, and that if he was determined to
wreck the whole expedition be could not
adopt better means. The steamer has
been delayed month behind her regular
time, rendering it problematical if she
reaches her destination at all, and It is
almost certain that she will be frozen up
before the supplies are unlOaded.
