But there are no unfair restrictions
upon the statement that the columns

recent act. The people outside, for q
distance Of two and one-half miles
from the court house, will have to pay
their pro rata part the same as the

course, the people outside, or rather

Gently incorporated, will have a right
to vote on the question as to whether
the special 3-mill tax shall be levied
upon them, and they also have right
to a sayso on the question of electing
trustees: but 1t Is a question under
the act as IL now stands as to whether
trustees may be selected from any
portion Of the new district, or only
from the corporate limits Of the town
Of Yorkville. The constitutionality Of
this new act was upheld by the su-
preme court in the recent proceedings
instituted by Messrs. w. B. McCaw
and C. E. Spencer, but as a matter of
fact this was a kind Of a moot court
proceeding in that the vital questions
were really not argued on their merits
and 1t is a question in the minds Of
many good lawyers as to whether the
act under consideration would with
stand a really serious attack.

Mr.. Jesse H. Hardin, highly es-
teemed citizen Of Chester county, was
seriously injured a few days ago by
being thrown from his buggy. He Is
recovering nicely.
Bishop Ellison Capers was stricken
with paralysis at his summer home
at Cedar Mountain last Saturday.
The paralysis first attacked the left
side and has since been spreading
slowly. 1t is feared that the bishop
cannot survive the attack.
George Mabus, a prominent young
white man was aSsaSSinated as he was
passing through a piece Of woods on
his return from his mill to his home
near Batesburg, last Saturday night.
Three loads Of buckshots were fired
into his body. Lee and Cliff Fallow
are suspected of the crime. 1t Is
thought that the killing grew out Of
Jealous rivalry for the hand Of
a young lady in the neighborhood.
The Fallow boys were seen going to-
ward the spot about dusk, with the
taken down parts OF a shot gun con-
cealed about their persons.
Kershaw county, Of which Camden
Is the county seat, on last Friday voted
cut the county dispensary and pro-
hibited the manufacture Of liquor
within the county limits. The major
ity against the dispensary was about
100. 1t Is understood that one Of the
principal causes of the action Of the
people In this matter was the fact that
after the legislative delegation had
fought from first to last against the
Carey Cothran law, when 1t became
apparent that the measure was going
through, they secured an amendment
that gave them the right to appoint
Of the board Of control in
stead of leaving the selection Of these
members to the qualified voters.

THERE is something of more than
ordinary interest in the case of John
G. Capers. Formerly a Democrat Ca
pers turned Republican and was put in
control of the Federal patronage of
this state. The negro Republicans did
not like the situation and made quite
a fight: but were unsuccessful. Then
Capers began to encounter the opposi-
ton of certain Democratic politicians.
They wanted things and he stood in
their way. Certain of the Democrats
finally succeeded in fixing up some
kind of job on Capers that resulted
in his removal from the office Of dis
trict attorney. Devoting himself. to
the matter of vindication, Capers final
ly succeeded in placing himself right
with the president again and secured
the appointment of commissioner OF
internal revenue. So far as has ever
been made public, it has not appeared
that Capers is any worse than his op-
pOnents or that his motive has been
any different. Both are after political
power and prestige, and both are look
ing to the same source for favors. 1t
is a fact that Capers is now on top;
but if there is anything else underlying
the controversy we are unable to dis
tinguish it.

there are portions Of the rock which
not even they are allowed in.
Leaving the garrison, we drove down
the narrow streets to the Alameda Car
dens. where beautiful flowers grow in
wild yet ordered profusion and the
gardeners offered you your choice as to
kind and amount for any small coin.
From the gardens we went to the
great dock yards, which the govern
ment maintains for its fleet, and where
under the grim guns of the fortress
they can assemble. maintain. and re-
pair as many of their ships as they
please. The dry dock in this navy
ward is said to be one Of the largest
i'm the world.
Coming from the dry dock toward
the town, | was interested to observe
in the little cemetery the name Lati-
mer on the head stone at the grave Of
the child of an English lieutenant. We
drove back into what might be called
the shopping district, for the purpose
Of permitting the ladies of the party
to see what the stocks and stores
were like, but though We went into
many We bought little, as the prices
were not enough better than those in
the United States to be especially
tempting.
Gibraltar is the great fortress, and
each nation which has held 1t has left
traces of it's occupancy. The Moorish
castle still stands, though possibly a
thousand years old and the old Moorish
wall divides the rock from the base to
summit right by the modern signal
station of the British. The old Span
ish wall still stands, and by the south
port. along side the old gateway sur
mounted by the arms of Spain stands
a new gateway with the arms Of Great
Britain. We enjoyed our trip through
the town under the British flag, but
with citizens Of all nationalities and
came away impressed as all must b.
with the strength of this natural for
tress over which the British flag has
waved now for more than two centu-
ries.
The commercial importance Of Gil
braltar is comparatively small now,
but at one time it was quite large. In
1924 the value of the imports Of
cotton and woolen goods alone
amounted to $1,250.000, but from that
year the trade declined. The amount
of shipping has increased, but this is
due to the extension Of mercantile
transactions all through the Mediter-
ranean. Formerly in the days Of sail
ing vessels Gibraltar was a great en-
try port for goods which were intended
for distribution not only along the
neighboring coast but to the .remotest
corners of the Mediterranean and
Black seas. Now steam and ships Of
larger tonnage carry cargoes direct to
the ports Of destination without trans
shipment. Gibraltar, therefore as a
station of commercial Importance, has
declined, but as a coaling station and a
port for the protection and convenience
Of the mercantile marine Of the Medi-
terranean, Spain, and Morocco, it is Of
great Importance.
We are due at Naples at s o'clock
tomorrow morning. The trip continues
pleasant and uneventful. All Of the
party are well, but rather tired of life
on board ship. We shall be glad to
put foot on land again.

THERE is enough plausibility in the
idea of cotton banks to make it pecu-
liarly fascinating and we are quite con-
fident that if there is a serious effort
to make it go, it will create something
of a ripple, but we predict in advance
that the stockholders will be among
the worse sufferers in the end, whether
they be cotton producers or capital
lists. At the same time, however, we
realize that it is a waste of time and
space to offer any advice along this
line. When people become stricken
with the kind of fever here involved,
there is nothing to be done but to al
low the malady to run its course.

WHILE out for lark over in Ben
nettsville the other night, young man
defaced the newly erected Confederate
monument with a pistol shot. The
town authorities inflicted q nominal
fine, and the young man hoped that
was the end of it. He probably would
not have committed the offense at all
had he not been in liquor, and he
cared but little for the fine. But a
newspaper correspondent recited the
facts to his paper. This was punish
ment more dreaded than the fine and
called for redress. The demand was
made on the correspondent for a cor
rection." That, of course, was only
for the purpose of making a personal
matter of the affair and that purpose
did not fail. A fight ensued. There
was no serious harm as the result of
the fight: but there is Il lesson in the
incident. Because of the fine, alterna-
tive to all punishment and a limit to
the fines that can be imposed, munich
pal laws command very little respect
with certain class of offenders. AS
demonstrated in the present instance,
the only protection the public has
against such is publicity. In printing
what ne did about the monument Incl
dent. the correspondent was perform
ing a public service. and the disagree
able consequence that came afterward
was therefore Il public sacrifice. But
what is the remedy. If the municipal

one deserving of severe punishment:
but ii was Il light OffenSe compared

respondent. who told nothing but the
truth about it. If the public is content
to let such incidents go unnOticed, that

Chester Reporter: Mr.. George c..
sional coloniZer, was in the city on
Thursday evening and Friday morn
ing at the invitation of the Chamber
of Commerce. Mr.. Sherman Is a
Swede by birth, but has been in this
country thirty-five years and speaks
the English language fiuently. He has
done a great deal of colonization work
in Minnesota and Wisconsin and now
turns his attention to the south as the
natural field for his labOrs. He has
been in conference with Commissioner
T.. j. Watson and has the confidence
of that official. Mr.. Sherman'S visit
to Chester was for the purpose of as
certaining whether a tract of 5000
acres could be secured on easy terms.
He was shown lands in Il certain sec
ton of the county and expressed him.
self as highly pleased. Mr. Sherman
asked for six months option on this
tract, and this, 1t is thought, can be
arranged. 1t is necessary to secure an
option for this length of time. as per-
sons desiring to leave Sweden and
Norway must give three months no.
tice of their intentions III the public
prints in order that their creditors, If
there be any, may have fair warming
Permission must also be granted by
the king. Mr.. Sherman was very
much impressed with the city and
county, and thinks that this section of
the south has a great future. AS to
what will come of this colonization
scheme depends largely on ourselves.
The Chamber of Commerce has taken
the initiative, and what else is done
must be done by the entire public af-
ter matters have taken more definite
shape. The colonization scheme has
certainly succeeded in the great north
west as the population and thrift of
that section will attest, and there Is
reason to believe that it will succeed
equally as well here.
