Why Not Prosecute?

During the consideration Of the
Christensen resolution in the senate
the other day an amendment providing
for the prosecution of the dispensary
directors in case II should develop that
the charges made by Commissioners
Tatum were true, was killed by vote
of Is to 16, the lieutenant governor
casting the deciding ballot.
While 1t Is a fact that somebody
made the point that the amendment
was premature in that it was time
enough to talk of prosecution after the
development of proof. on which to
prosecute, still we are inclined to fear
that the senate is rather too lax in Its
views along this line.
We can very we'll understand why
certain of the senators should be OPP
posed to prosecutions. There are sew
eral who in the estimation Of the pub
lie at least, are guilty Of having got
ten large rake-offs from the whisky
men in connection with dispensary pur-
chases and these, Of course, do not be-
lieve in prosecutions.
But Is 1t not pitiable come to pass
when representatives of the people of
South Carolina put themselves in the
attitude of being Indifferent to the
punishment of crime, of making joke
of fragrant stealing, and Of trying to
shield people who are generally under
stood to be careless morally? Such
things are to be expected from time to
time. There are black sheep In every
flock and there is nothing strange In
the fact that even the South. Carolina
senate should harbor q few. But what
Of the people who will tolerate such
tendencies on the part of their repre-
sentatives.
Is 1t possible that there are senator's
and members who are morally GER
tain that the people are being robbed
by public servants, and yet who are
willing to shield those dishonest SER
wants from the proper consequences OF
their conduct? 1t certainly looks so.

seribers The postoffice department
defines q bona fide subscriber" as one
who has either paid the subscription
price in advance or agreed to pay the
same before the expiration Of the sub
scription period, the said period being
no longer than a year.
1t is the custom of the average
county newspaper publisher to claim
as bona fide subscribers all to whom he
sends his paper whether they have
paid for It or agreed to pay for 1t or
not. and as there are but few publish
ers who will concede that they. have
less than 500 bona fide subscribers, the
proposed law would enable practically
all of the publishers in the state to
hold the railroads up for graft.
Possibly the fairest way to get at
1t would be to prohibit the giving and
taking of passes altogether, require
the railroads to advertise their sched-
ules by conspicuous posting, and to
furnish copies thereof on demand, and
leave them free to advertise in the
newspapers at regular rates just as
they may find it to their interest to
do, and as other people do.

Or. A. Y. Cartwright found the dog
he advertised for last Tuesday. On
Wednesday morning Mr.. Wilburn OF
Kings Creek telephoned that 1t was at
that place.
The weather seems to be getting
more like winter again, and 1t Is none
too soon to check the forward tenden-
cies on all kinds of vegetation, espe-
cially the trees. The warm spell Of
the past few weeks is not altogether
unprecedented; but it is very unusual.
The regular mail edition OF the
Charlotte Observer Of Wednesday
reached here Wednesday morning at
8 o'clock, which, so far as we have
any recollection, is the earliest hour
that any OF the morning papers have
ever been delivered in Yorkville.
Farmers on the western side Of the
county are anticipating much incon-

account of the decentralization to which
labor will be subjected by reason OF

Ninety-Nine Islands and the building

dam and Kings Creek station.

The Editors Pass.

A railroad bill introduced in the
North Carolina legislature seeks to
bring the issuance of editorial passes
down to a business basis. AS origi-
nally introduced by Speaker Justice,
the bill sought 10 do away altogether
with passes to newspapers; but the
newspaper members Of the house rails
ed such a kick as to make Mr. JUS
tice glad to accept either one of the
following provisions that should be
agreed upon.
"(No. ID Provided all railroad COM
panieS doing business in North Caro-
lima for the information Of the public
are required To advertise their sched-
ules in all the newspapers published
in the towns through which the res
pective railroads pass, when such
newspapers have 500 or more bona fide
subscribers and when advertising
space can be bought at the regular ad-
vertising rates paid by other adVer-
Users in such papers,
Ono y Provided the publisher and
editor of any newspaper published In
North Carolina having bona fde cir
culation of 500 subscribers or more
may sell any railroad company adver-
tising space at the price at which ad-
vertising space Is offered for sale to
all other persons advertising In such
papers, and accept as compensation
therefore transportation at the price
1t is sold by the railroads to all 9TH
er persons when such a contract TO
exchange advertising for transporta-
ton Is reduced to writing at the time
contract is made and is. within ten
days from the time the contract is
made. filed with the corporation COM
mission The corporation commission
shall at all times be kept open for
public inspection"
This strikes US as looking some
thing like business, except that we do
not think the railroads should be re-
quired to advertise in all the papers.
1t is often the case that the circula-
ton of two local papers is practically
identical. and in such cases it would
not seem right to require the railroads
to advertise in both.
Then there is another very impor-
tant loophole in both propositions, and
that is the reference to bona fide sub

he informed DR.. Turner that he was
giving the matter the most prayerful
consideration. His flock at Rock Hill

exerted every influence to keep him

ably the insistence of those among

several years which persuaded him
that his duty was to remain In his

TILLMAN AS A BURNT Cork ARTIST.
The Hon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman's
performance in the senate Saturday
must have reminded the spectators Of
the old fashioned negro minstrel lee
turer, the sable humorist who pounded
the table with his voluminous umbrel-
la and emitted series Of mingled
jokes and highfalutin. How thorough
ly successful from an artistic point Of
view Mr.. Tillman's show was may be
judged from the fact that the ''niggers"
In the gallery laughed heartily at the
minstrel. They accepted his Offering"
as a bit of detached comic variety.
To treat legal and constitutional
questions grave questions Of the right
OF the citizen and the powers Of the
executive, now in the vein Of Ancient
Pistol, now in the vein OF Costard, Is
among the many privileges OF Mr.
Tillmans large license. He Is law
unto himself and he seems disinclined
to amendment. The eccentric come
dian, The burnt cork artist Of the sem
ate; what noble distinction for man
Of talent and ambition!-New York

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Developments of More or Less Inter-
est In House and Senate.

est In House and Senate.
Senator Weston Of Richland, on
Monday introduced bill providing for
the publication of the names of all
holders of railroad passes. He also
introduced a bill providing that col
lege students must be carried to and
from their respective colleges at II
cents q mile.
Mr.. Rucker of Anderson, introduced
bill providing that when q railroad
train Is more than one hour late al
any station from any cause other than
accident, the conductor must give the
passengers orders on the agents al
their respective destinations for the
refunding of their fares.
The ways and means committee
made a favorable report on the bill to
create a commission and to appro-
pirate $4,000 for the erection OF a
stature to John c. Calhoun In the ma
tional capitol.
Mr.. Giles Of Aiken has introduced a
bill giving water, light and power
COMPANIES the right to condemn lands
for rights Of way, etc.
The Christensen resolution, provid-
ing for the appointment Of committee
to investigate Commissioner Tatums
charges against lHe ulSpelSdiy Soih
missioners, passed the senate without
much opposition. 1t was expected that
the resolution would probably cause
test vote; but several senators who
announced themselves as favoring the
state dispensary no matter how much
individual rottenness might be devel-
oped, voted for the resolution. Sena-
tor Blease was one Of those who voted
against the resolution. He character
ized Tatum's letter. as his platform for
re election and said that the commits
sioners should be allowed to publish
their platform in reply. Mr.. F. B. Gary
tried to prevent the resolution from
passing the house; but was showed
under by an overwhelming majority.
The house on Tuesday passed a res
olution requiring the dispensary COM
missioners not to purchase any more
liquor of any kind until the sine die
adjournment Of the general assembly.
There will be joint hearing Tues
day afternoon next on the various
bucket shop bills. The house judiciary
committee and the senate committee
on agriculture will meet to hear the
arguments. pro and con on the various
bills affecting the brokerage business.
Representative Nash introduced a
bill Wednesday to abolish the state
dispensary and prohibit the sale of
alcoholic liquors in South Carolina.

WE give in full today Governor An
sci inaugural address to the general
assembly and the people Of South Car
olina. The address is good throughout
in both matter and spirit. We are par
ticularly pleased with his square and
frank statement on the dispensary
question and his claim that his elec-
tion means the desire Of the people to
abolish the corruption breeding state
machine and provide for local option
as between prohibition and county dis
pensaries. The most essential thing
as we see it, is the abolition OF the
state machine, and we hope this will
be done. AS to whether there Is any
advantage in county dispensaries, we
are doubtful. We fear that they Will
breed corruption in proportion to the
state dispensary. In fact we feel
quite sure Of it. The principal miti-
CATION of the evil in comparison, lies
in the fact that the management OF
county dispensaries will be closer to
grand juries. But by all means the
state dispensary should be abolish.
