The authorities should look out and pun
ish the parties in this county who are buy
ing seed cotton without license. There Is
q law requiring license and some have
complied with i, but there are many others
who are buying in utter disregar" OF the
law and they should be handled. We are
opposed to the seed cotton license law, DIT
as long as is Oh the statute books We want
to see. it enforced, and in order that tue
public may know who are lawfully traffic
ing in seed cotton the Clerk OF the Court
should be required to publish list OF
those to whom he has issued license.
A shaun battle is to be fought at the State
fair and The Manning Guards bave been
invited to participate. Boys, here IS an
opportunity for grand day for you and
YOU should take advantage OF it. The man
ayement of the fair association have and
are still spending lots of money to MAKE
the fair this year great success. Inc rail-
roads will give cheap rates and already an
m usually large number of ATTRACTIONS have
been booked. We want our soldier boys to
90 to Columbia as an organization ana we
hope to see the coiors OF the Manning
Guards in the forefront ~ the battle. Ihe
fair begins Nevew Der Sth.
Chief of Police Boyle of Charleston is
making it hot for the ''speak-easy people,
and knowing him to be CONSCIENTIOUS ano
a determined gentleman, we feel satisfied
that his efforts to enforce the law VIII be
satisfactory proof that the metropolitan po-
lice did not do their duty. Majo. Boyle IS
not the man to take an oath and then to
crafty political friends wink at the VIOLA
ton OF the law he has sworn to enforce.
He will break MP the 'tigers" and gam
bling hellS" and some who were ciamorlnS
for change, will find they have greater
change than they want. Charleston is to
be congratulated upon having Major Boyle
at the head ofits police department

some imagine, and in this battle with LIE
he comes across countless obstacles. II he
publishes all that be hears about people 1t
would be necessary to keep en- band gae-
ling gun and corps Of sharp-shooterS;
then, when in the kininess of his heart ne
leaves off telling the world things they
should perhaps know about some OF his
fellow citizens, the act is not appreciated
and again, should be indulge in little
pleasantry. ofense is taken, matters not
how trivial the matter or how vague the hu-
NOR NAV be. As for the editor Of this paper,
he has made mp his mind not to allow the
cross-graine3ness of any OF his subscr! oers

along in his own peculiar way. ard should
be unfortunately Offend. be is willing to
make the proper amends but If that is not
satisfactory to the offended. the only way
open, is to write receipt for subscription
due and strike of the name OF the sensitive
individual.
