WHAT ARE THE MUNICIPAL
LAWS OF EDGEFIELDY

The town council very properly
passed an ordinance on January
26th which divides Edgefeld into
Biz wards. Notwithstanding the
fact that this is the most impor.
tant measure that has emanated
from the council chambe. in some
years, and one which deeply con-
Germs the entire community, we
doubt if ten Per cent of our citi-
zens know in which ward they re-
side, OF can define its boundaries.
Why this lack of information +? 1t
is because the council, instead Of
Publishing the ordinances in a
local paper, as is done in most
towns, post them in certain places
where sundry advertisements,
mortgage foreclosure notices, etc.,
are posted, consequently but few
people ever see or know anything
about them.
Ifit be necessary or desilable to
give publicity to these municipal
laws, and certainly it is, then it
becomes the duty Of the council
to employ the means that will
reach the greatest number of peo-
pie. 1t is true that it will cos
more to publish than to post these
ordinances, but better results are
obtained thereby. In other mat
ters the council expends money
for whatever gives the best results.
Why not in this?
Prior to some months ago all
ordinances we're published. Then.
people knew what the laws were.
bat now a new ordinance may be
passed and citizens violate itwith.
out knowing that such an ordi-
nance existed. In view of the fact
that our people have been taught
to depend upon general and
full publicity being gwen all or

THE REAL PURPOSE.
POSSIBILITY TO PROTECTION THE Al
TlTupE OF DEMOCRACY.

Iiis Is UnmistnsabIy Indicated In
the Party's Platform - Judge Par
g.rr's Remarks on Revision Fail to
Leassurc.
NO one can read Judge Parkers re
marks concerning the tariff without
reaching the conclusion that he be-
lieyes it necessary to attempt to reas-
sure the public mind as to the proba-
bic consequences of revision made
Iiv the Democrats. AS he put the mat
ter. the Democracy stands for ''rea-
s1nable reduction of tariff duties, and
he was careful to state that this reduc-
t.o. should take effect after "a reason
able period during which the indus
tres of the country might have an op-
portlnity to make preparation Tor the
changes. Furthermore, he declared
that the Democratic party could not
hope to secure control of the senate.
and therefore any tariff reduction that
could be made would be only such as
the senate would consent to.
obviously this was intended to be
reassuring, but Intelligent citizens will
remember that it is to the party plat
form rather than to the candidates
remarks they must go to discover the
real .ttitude of the Democracy toward
tie protective tariff. And in that plat
forul there is no declaration for ''rea-
sonabe reduction of duties There
We're in the platform prepared by the

Qualifying phrases and Il promise to

tie full committee, and the plank that

richuent of the few.
This statement is among those which
.Iad@n Parker characterized as "ad-
n.rable," and it expresses the real pur-
pose It the Democracy concerning the
ta!4M. There is nothing reasonable"
IN those purposes The Democracy is
now. rs it always has been, bitterly
hostile to the protective system and
intends to destroy it wheESVe the op-
rcrtvuity to do so is afforded. Its

The ouarles Biil

The Public Lands Committee of the
Senate has agreed to vote Wednesday,
March 9th, as to whether it will
report the Quarles bill, to repeal the
several desert land laws by which
such enormous frauds have been COM
mitted. This bill will undoubtedly
be reported and probably passed by
the Senate. It is stated that the
frauds which have occurred in the
handling of western lands, could they
be put in the form of dollars and cents,
would make the pOstoffice frauds APP
pear ininitesimal in amount. Under
the Timber law alone the officials of
the Interior Department state that
considerably over one hundred million
dollars worth of timber has been lost
to the government. Not all of this
has been lost through actual fraud but
timber land on the Pacific coast, which
is the finest in the entire world, and
runs between five and ten million feet
per quarter section of land, has been
and is still being sold under this
Timber law, kept upon the statute
books through the influence of specu-
lators, for the ridiculous sum of s2.5
an acre. A tremendous fight i,
promised against the repeal of these
laws by the land grabbing interests
both in and out of Congress.

rransplantiug Native Trees


Nursery-grown trees give, as a
rule, better satisfaction than those
taken up from their native localities.
This is principally owing to the fact
that the roots Of plants growing wild
extend further from the stems than
those raised in nurseries, when they
have been once or ofteneF transplant
ed. Yet, with a little extra care, ma
tive trees may be transplanted sue
.cessfully. Specimens growing in dry
and open situations should be select.
ed. AS many and as much Of the
roots, especially the fine, fibrous ones,
that can be dug up should be pre-.
served, and care must be taken moi
to expose these to the sun and winds
more than is unavoidable. The tops
have to be cut back severely, remov'
ing one-half or two-thirds of all the
branches, and this is best done he
fore planting the trees. The holes
should have been dug previously,
and whenever practicable the trees
should be taken up and planted on q
cloudy or damp day.
