Congressman Lewis, of Georgia, has
introduced a bill to repeal the war
revenue stamp tax. He is right. There
is no necessity for it on legal papers,
and ought to be repealed. We hope he
will push his measure to success.
Senator Clay is in favor of it, and we
believe these two able representatives
can do great deal to accomplish this
purpose

CORY OF THE CHILDREN

Mre. Browning's Cry of the Chill
dren" is one of the most pathetic and
powerful of poems. The scene is in
one of England's great factory towns,
where the little children marched into
the factories at daylight to hear the
deafening roar of the wheels till in the
night. They were sent there by lazy,
worthless parents, or sometimes by
dire poverty. These, in the play time
of the lambs, in the seed time of future
usefulness and development,are dwarft-
ed bodily, mentally and even morally
This dwarfing affects society, for it will
make them less capable as citizens and
even as wage-earners, and society will
suffer.
All childhood should be made truly
the seed time for future usefulness by
planting thoughts, principles, and
habits which will ripen into larger
manhood and usefulness. Society
owes it to herself to make the most OF
her future citizens, especially is. this
true of the children who are absolutely
destitute, either physically or morally
Children in extreme restitution must
be saved by society or both will suffer
These the Orphans Homes are trying
to help wisely by training them to
work, to study and to love God. The
unselfish work for the good of society
and the state done by these Orphans
Homes deserve the practical sympathy
of wise business men and philanthro-
pists, for they are lifting many from
the bottom to high and noble citi-
zenship.

FIRST BALE OF COTTON.
Il Came From the Same County This Year
That Furnished II Last Year.

Birmingham, Ala, Age Herald.
The first bale of a seasons great
crop IS always eagerly anticipated.
Moved at the head of 100000 other
bales, it occupies an enviahle position.
It is at the head Of the procession that
keeps exchange in our favor and gold
from going out. It is the first Of the
country's chief cash crop. There may
he other commercial and agricultural
kings, but there is none that so readi-
ly commands cash in all countries as
King Cotton, and the first bale is the
beginning of the worlds contributions
to the king.
The first bale came this year from
San tatricio county, in Southwestern
Texas, not far from San Antonio. This
county furnished the nrst bale last
year, but the bale Of this year is two
days earlier than the bale of last year
was Four planters combined their
pickings in order to make this bale,
which weighs 564 pounds.
The bringing in Of a bale on July IL
shows that the sun in Texas is able to
confound all the prophets, for they
had repeatedly said that the first bale
would not be received this year before
July Is. Tie sun in Texas Is no re-
specter Of prophets and there are
prophets out of Texas who will share
the fate Of those in that state. The
truth is no one knows what the open
ing and growing crop will be in the
aggregate. There may be some who
understand the Chinese trouble or the
presidential election, but there is no
one who can "siZe up" the cotton
crop.

TUESDAYS PRIMARY.

To most people in this section, the
news feature Of next
week will be the result Of the primary
election of Tuesday, and as usual THE
ENQUIRER will try to make public this
news as soon as possible after the In
formation can be secured.
Owing to the fact that the polls Will
not close until after our usual hour Of
going to press, the next paper will have
to be held back for several hours, and
our subscribers in Western York will
have to wait until Wednesday, after
noon for their papers.
The publishers Of THE ENQUIRER
take the greatest pride in getting out
each issue Of the paper exactly on time,
and it is with considerable reluctance
that they hold back for even so impor-
tant a mater as this; but under the cir
cumstances we hope there will be no
complaint.
Under the arrangement as now con-
templated, all the mails except that OF
the South Carolina and Georgia Exten-
sion going west, and the Carolina and
Northwestern going south, will leave
here as usual. The Yorkville subscrib-
ers, of course, will not get their pa
pers until late Tuesday night, or per-
haps early Wednesday morning.

crease of cotton mills in the South, are
aiding in the organization of the South
ern employees. The mill owners of the
South charge that his sudden interest
in the welfare Of their employees Is
really a covert attack upon the South
ern mills by attempting to create disaf-
lection among the operatives. The
mill owners are opposing the organi-
cation and several strikes have devel-
oped as a result in the North Carolina
mills. One hundred and fifty union op-
eratives who left the Erwin cotton
mills at Durham, are yet out. other
union operatives who did not strike
will work out their notices. President
Erwin of this mill notified them that
no union men would be employed, and
gave them two weeks notice. Union
operatives at the Pearl mills at Dur
ham, have decided not to strike for the
present. Union organizers have gone
to HaW River to organize the opera
tives in former Governor Holts mills.
They have been quietly at work on
this movement in North Caronna mills
for months. The movement ostensioly
was inaugurated by New England Ia
Dor unions to get all the operatives In
Southern mills into the union.

LEGITIMACY OF WHISKY.

The issue with the Prohibitionists of
South Carolina is the legitimacy OF the
sale of whisky as a beverage and moth
ing more.
1t is argued that the prohibition plat
form provides for dispensaries that will
sell liauor for sacramental, scientific
and medicinal purposes, and that in ac-
tual practice these dispensaries will be.
come bar rooms.
There is reasonable ground for such
a contention. 1t requires but the small
est amount of whisky for medicinal
purposes. The ablest physicians have
almost ceased prescribing whisky. But
the whisky drinker who can get his
supply in no other way, can be depend
ed upon to use the means that Will
bring it from a dispensary. We shall
not undertake to claim that prohibition
dispensaries will not be abused; but
they will not be abused any more than
are present dispensaries.
However, the main contention of the
Prohibitionists is that the sale Of whis-
ky as a beverage, either by the state or
an individual, is wrong. If they out
law blind tigers and refrain from pat
ronizing them, they are not RESPONSE
BILE for their work. If the managers OF
prohibition dispensaries violate the law,
the responsibility does not revert back
to the makers Of that law. So long,
however, as the present system Of SELL
ing liquor as beverage for profit is
maintained, every citizen is either a
willing or unwilling partner.
