gestions which may or may not be

In 1890 the farmers were promised
lower taxes. The Farmers Movement
elected a governor, q new set OF judges,
q prohibition legislature which gave
them a law which converted South
Carolina into the largest whiskey SELL

Nevertheless, we are panied to con-
fess that We cannot see how the misera-
BILE old Conservatives are responsible
for high taxes. They have not been in
power In Ii years. Some people say
Farmer Hayward is Or was o "Con-
sentative" but he has few of the signs.
Hayward is "a good fellow all right"
but he does not impress THE ADvER-
TIsER as being q Conservative Of the
Wade Hampton or johnson Hagood
type. That kind is gone, and we fear
gone forever. Besides, Hayward has
not been Governor long enough to in
luence the question of taxation one
way or another.
The ADVERTISER Is willing for the
ture and run the state. Their program
is to reduce taxes. They have had 13
years In which to do it. Give them 10
more. We suggest that ell salaries be
reduced. Let the legislature cut their
pay to two dollars a day. Two dol

times. Let us have lower taxes.
BY the way, Clemson College was
the best achievement of the Farmers
Movement. La our deliberate judg-
ment it is the most valuable school in
the state. 1t costs about a hundred
thousand dollars a year. II is worth it
to South Carolina. 1t was established
for the benefit Of the Farmers. 1t has
500 students. At last about
an even half dozen Of them were study
ing agriculture. Charleston county,
whose farmers live in the city, sends
more boys to Clemson than any other
county, we believe. Nevertheless,
Clemson is a good college for farmers
sons. 1t is not the fault of the college
that the son won't study farming.
"Reedy" thinks Legislators should be
elected who will support the dispen-
sary so as to give the state absolute
prohibition as soon as possible. Last
week the dispensary board of control
bought $4,000 gallons of whiekey for
Christmas. The News and Courier
points out that this Is nine drinks each
all round for every woman. man, child,
white, colored, black and mixed, in
South Carolina. There is at least a
fair prospect that the dispensary will
make prohibition not only possible but
inevitable out OF South Carolina. The
time is coming when the whole world
will flock to South Carolina for drinks.
South Carolina will soon be absorbing

Pay Your Doctor.


IF you were told that one man must
be taken from your community and
that his place could o be supplied,
who would you least te willing to
spare? Your preacher? Your lawyer?
Your dentist? Or your doctors: We
think you would answer doctor" You
would not live in a community where
no doctor lived. When al the doctors
leave, so will you.
Which reminds us that every man
who Is worth his salt will try to pay
his DOCTORS bill at this winding up OF
the years affairs.
The doctor is the poore st collector on
earth. The preacher is far better. The
preacher as a rule sooner or later gets
every copper. The man who neglects
to settle with his preacher never hears
the last OF it. Any man a dodge the
doctor, especially the country doctor.
They are all country doctors in meth
DDS of collectipg--all about here. When
your small boy falls out OF a hickory
tree and breaks his leg, how can you
have the face to send for a doctor to
set the limb when you haven't paid
him q cent in three years? II the doc
tors in this county were paid only one
third of what they earn, they would all
be comfortable. AS a rule the people
who don't pay are the people who can
and Won't. The doctor is the most ne
cessary Of all men. A man may pract-
ice religion without being %aspreacher.
a man can't practice medicine and
surgery unless he is o doctor,
We do not believe in any heaven for
people who will not deny themselves
even tobacco in order to pay their doc
tors bills.
