The vagrant act, which has recently
gone into effect in Georgia, is accom-
plishipg fine results. The provisions
of the law are very stringent, and al
ready more than two thousand vagrants
have been taken up and put to work.
Every town is infested with number
Of idlcrs, who should be made to work
and contribute something to the pro
gress OF society. At this season, the
farmers need all the help they can
get. With properly enforced va
grancy law, the shiftless class Of idlers
would be turned into the cotton fields
and into other means of profitable en-
ployment. Idleness breeds con-
tempt for social order and directly fos-
ters crime. South Carolina might
well follow the example of Georgia in
Kidding the State of vagrants. A law
framed to crush this evil would be
barren of results, however, unless rigid
ly enforced.

The New York Sun has been very
severe in its condemnation Of PCesi-
dent Roosevelt for accepting free
transportation and entertainment by
special trains in his recent tour Of the
country. The Sun has waged q re-
lentless war upon him for this and
other alleged violations Of executive
authority. A short time ago, Unit
ed States senator from South Caro-
lima was discovered with pocket full
Of free passes. He pleaded "oustom"
as an excuse. The laws OF South
Carolina forbid the use OF free passes
within the State, and outside OF the
State the giving of free passes by the
railroads is in violation of tho pro-
visions of the Interstate commerce
laws. If it is against tho federal laws
for the great railroad systems of the
country to give free passes to certain
individuals, the acccptor becomes q
party to lawless act. The Inter
State commerce commission has re-
peatedly ruled that free passes are
prohibited except in tho case Of Ger
tain classes specified in the law, and
public officials arc not included in the
excepted classes.

The Southern Railway has been

The Southern Railway has been
severely criticized by the press for the
many accidents that have occurred on
the system during the past few months.
Something appears to be wrong with
the management, but in the absence
of any specific evidence Of negligence
on the part Of the railroad officials,
the presumption is that proper care
has been exercised. However that
may be, the accident at Fishing creek,
near yorkville, on last Thursday, in
which Eve lives we're lost, should be
fully investigated. The unsafe con-
dition Of the trestle, through which
the train plunged, was known to many
people, and was surely known to the
railroad authorities. The RESPONSE
bility for this disaster should be just
ly fixed, SO that the public may not
have to suffer the penalty of any
negligence in the management of the
road

In an address before tho forty
eighth convocation of the University
Of Chicago, John Temple Graves, Of
Georgia, advocated the separation of
the races rs the only logical solution
Of the race problem. He cites history
to prove that two antagonistic races
cannot live side by side in relations of
peace and harmony. He said that
the negro was no longer an industrial
necessity, that the cotton of Texas, OF
Louisiana and Of Mississippi was made
chiefly by the white man and not by
the negro. He said thet q report Of
the census department, as yet unan-
nouuced, would give facts showing
that the negro is &c longer indispen-
sable to the industrial development of
the South, that the staple and cereal
crops of this section are not made by
him. The deportation and colonial
tion of the race, he claims, is neither
impossible nor impracticable. The
cost is not prohibitive; it is within
the means of o government which en-
joys large revenue like ours. Mr..
Graves views are brilliantly expressed.
though it is matter Of conjecture as
TO what proportion of the Southern peo-
pie would give assent to his plan Of
colonization.

Secretary Testers annual report Of
the cotton crop Of the United States
contains some interesting statistics.
The cotton crop for the past year was
1927 ,559 bales against 10, $50, $50 for
the previous year. The mills of the
South consumed two million bales, an
increase Of G2,758 bales over the pre-
vious year and 379, ,798 more than dur
ing the year 1901. This is a fne
showing in view Of the conditions
supposedly caused by the great differ
eucc in values between the raw mate
rial and the manufactured product.
South Carolina leads all the Southern
States in the consumption of cotton
with Gi3,275 bales. The total nun
Der of spindles in the South is put at
8.248 ,275, an increase over last year
Of 735 ,293. These figures include L.
1925 in new mills not yet COM
pleted. In reference to tho general
manufacturing industry, the report
says that Notwithstanding the stop
page Of mills, short time and the in
terference with consumption by rea-
son OF high prices, the mills Of this
country have used every bale they
could get, and that their consumption
has been limited only by the scarcity
OF cotton. The supply of cotton has
not been sufficient to go around, and
the domestic mills have suffered. Re.
ferring to crop vslues Secretary Hes
ter says: when it is considered that
the combined values Of the past three
crops resulted in payment to farmers,
common carriers, merchants and other
handlers of over 81 Alb, 900, 900, their
importance as the great factor in the
prosperity of the South may be fully
appreciated"

At conference of leading educators
in Columbia last spring it was decided
to appoint committee of three to or
ganize and conduct campaign for
better school conditions in this State.
Educational rallies have been held
during the summer months in many
parts of the State. Educators of note,
as we'll as public officials, have attend
ed these gatherings of the people aud
made addresses Oh school matters.
The plan Of consolidation Of small
schools has been aggressively advan.
eed, with the result that some com
mun;ties have adopted it. A large,
centralized school, with good corps
of teachers in each district would 20
sar towards checking the movemeu.
Of the farming class to the towns
The removal Of a family to town in
order to secure good school facilities
emphasizes the deficiencies Of our
system Of public education. Tho ooun-
try schools must be improved. They
need better teachers, better houses,
better supervision, and moro money.
A good system Of country sohoole can
not be supported by State taxation
alone. This must be supplemented, ,
and it can be done only through spe-
cial levies. There are now about $50
districts in South Carolina that vote
q special tax, and several elections ore
now pending. Reform and progress
in our schools are imperative. Better
conditions will come grad ually through
enlightened public sentiment, and the
fruit Of tbs present agitation will be
better, citizenship, greater Industrial
development and a. higher standard Of
eivic virtue.

THE RESURRECTION.

No event in the history OF the world
Is Of greater Importance than that
which the entire Chrstendom com
memorates at this time The resurrec-
ton OF our Lord was the visible sign
Of His complete victory over the pow
ers OF death, the grave and all evil;
It was the beginning Of the general de-
liyerauec that Is to be experienced by
all Gods children II Is the corner
stone Of the Gospel on the truth Of
that. the greatest Of all miracles, de-
Ponds the Christian religion. This
must stand or fall with t. No event of
ancient history Is better attested or
more surely established by witnesses,
than that And It is necessary that
Il should be sor If Christ Is not risen
then our faith Is in vain. The dead
are lost, and there is no hope beyond
the grave. But Christ Is risen, and
His resurrection Is sure guarantee Of
the resurrection Of those for whom He
suffered and died
All true Christians agree on the fact
that there Il to be a resurrection, But
as to the manner, peoples views vary
greatly, Some still hold that the iden-
teal particles Of the body laid In he
grave, shall be terminated, and come
forth. Others conceive Of a new crea-
ton OF bodies rather than resurrec-
ton. They cannot believe in the pos.
slbillty Of the gathering together Of all
the scattered particles Of a human
hody,so long time after death, and they
suppose II easier for Omnpotenoe to
make an entirely new body than to re-
yive the old Others seem to prefer
the old pagan notion that dsembodled
souls enter other bodies al times
Some of the ancients thought, for in
stance, that Euphorbus rcappeared In
pythagoras, and that Homer, strange
10 relate, passed into a peacock And
similar Views are being adopted again.
one attempted explanation is that the
soul Is dsembodied at death. but that
IL retains an ethereal covering that
gives II form. and In the resurrection
the vital yinciple which now sustains
our mortal bodies will be- awakened
anew and attract from the dust the
particles that are needed for a new
body,
The existence OF so many spacula-
lions proves sufficiently that the sub
iect is Of all-lmportant interest; also
that perfectly clear understanding
can be had only by revelation from
God. TO whom all such mysteries
are plain. The Apostle Paul
evidently considered the body
that was laid away IN the light Of a
grain put into the earth This. how
over. illustrates the possibility Of a
resurrection. rather than the manner
m which It will take place, for as far
as human eye can see, there ls an essen
tal difference between a grain and a
human body from which the breath o,
~ has departed.

THE PASSING OF HE'LL.

A New York clergyman is somewhat
concerned about hell In a recent ser
mon he deplored that that place OF tor
ment Ia rather neglected in modern
preaching. He felt certain that there
is such place, and that II Is a fear
fui reality
The fact is that hell as once known
TO orthodoxy does no longer exist IL
had rs origin in highly poetic language
Of the Scriptures, referring TO the hor-
rors Of Tophet, or the valley OF the sons
OF Hinnom. where the fire was contin-
ually burning, devouring the refuse OF
the city and even the bodies of execut-
ed criminals. 1t was literally true oil
that place that the fire there was new
or ouenched. and the worm did not die
The application of the terms descriptive
of the horrors OF that valley, to the
place of torment after death came nat
urally at a time when II was supposed
that human beings could be Induced
by fear to be good. It became natural
to paint hell as horrible as possible ana
as hot as human words would permit,
and make the stay there of the impenl-
tent, as long as imagination could de-
plct. All this was done not out OF re-
gard for true statement of Facts, but
on the supposition that II hell was
painted horrible enough, most people
would become so frightened, as TO re-
pent of evil and do right
But the painting was greatly over
done. 1t was alleged that hell's horrors
were without end, and that the majority
of the human race would be doomed to
suffer there. Even infants were con-
signed to everlasting FIRE. The reaction
against such insane teachings came. A
great many gave up such ideas, and
with them what little religion they had
They fell because Of the stumbling
block placed in their way
The Church OF Jesus Christ of Lat
ter-day Saints has led the way In the
teaching OF doctrines concerning the
hereafter, such as are approved by Holy
Writ and which commend themselves
to the thoughtful student of such sub
jects. 1t is briefly this, that each one
shall reap according TO that which ne
has sown. There Is an eternal justice
that will even out all unevenness. And
under that justice each one shall receive
according TO his deeds in the flesh But
at the same time, the mercy of the
Eternal Father endureth beyond the
grave, and viii reach out for the erring
child as long as there is any POSSIBLE
ity Of redemption, That is the old
truth, revealed anew, which commends
itself to the enlightened people OF the
present age.
