AN ordinance passed by the city
council of Charlotte about a month
ago, prohibiting the sale Of liquor on
prescriptions of physicians goes into
effect tomorrow, and the people not
only of Charlotte, but of other parts
of the state are watching with great
deal of interest to see how the matter
is going to turn out. When the sa-
looms closed in Charlotte the drug
stores Immediately took up where
they left off. Some of the physicians
sold prescriptions right and left to
whoever wanted to buy and others at
tached themselves to various drug
stores, as is commonly believed at so
much per. While it has been more or
less difficult for a large class of people
TO buy liquor, other classes have been
able to get it through orders from
physicians without trouble and the
situation generally has been one Of
great annoyance. Some Of the physi-
clans hold that what they give pre-
scriptions for, and to whom, is a mat
ter of their own discretion. otherwise
they recognize no right of the law to
restrain them. There are druggists
also who hold that it is their business
to fill the prescriptions Of physicians
for no matter what, and the question
in Charlotte seems to be whether the
city council or the druggists and ply
sicians are the bigger men, from the
standpoint of the law or privilege.

EIGHT PAGES TODAY.

There are eight pages Of today's
ENQUIRER; but we Will not try to take
credit for anything in connection with
the extra size other than our ability to
double up when occasion seems TO
require.
The occasion Of today's double issue
is the two page advertisement that is
being published by the Thomson COM
pany. The Thomson company insisted
that they could not say all they wanted
to say about this big sale in less than
two pages, and as we are always re-
luctant to cut the space devoted to
reading matter beyond certain limits,
there was no other way for it than to
put in two extra pages.
Of course, it would have been prac-
ticable to print these two extra pages
back to back on the same sheet; but
that was not in accord with the Dig
ideas Of the Thomson company. Moth
ing would do them than that there
should be two full pages and that the
two pages should appear side by side
instead Of back to back and here we
are.
This is without exception the largest
advertisement that The Enquirer has
ever printed. 1t occupies just twice as
much space as the largest previous ad-
vertisement, and it's size has seldom
been exceeded in South Carolina
newspaper.
1t is clear enough that it would new
er do to send out the paper with TWO
blank pages. The Enquirer has never
fancied any such practice as that, and
so here YOU are-tWo extra pages OF
most interesting advertising matter
and two extra pages of reading matter
that is we'll worth while.

Announcinu Candidates.

There is even about such a simple
matter as the announcing of candt-
date or a. prospective candidate in a
newspaper some things that the pub
lie do not clearly understand, and
few words of information will not be
out of place at this time.
Announcements come into the news
paper office in various ways. The most
common way is for the candidate to
write out his announcement in the
way he wants it and bring or send 1t
in himself Sometimes he writes it in
the form Of I'VE are authorized to an
nounce, etc." and sometimes, Il hereby
announce myself" etc. This is mat
of taste, arrived at in accordance with
the candidates own notions.
Again, friends of candidate, or of
a man they desire to be a candidate,
announce his name to the people with
out previous consultation. The idea of
such an announcement is two fold. In
the first place there are many individ-
uals who though entirely suitable to
a given position, have no inclination for
it, and who could not be persuaded by
any one individual to stand for it. But
often results in convincing the pros
pective candidate Of a general demand
that he is hardly able to ignore. 1t not
infrequently happens, however that
nciS
ing, notwithstanding pressure that
would seem to be irresistible.
One thing every man who may be
announced without his previous knowl-
edge has a right to know, if he wants
to know, is the name Of the individual
or individuals directly responsible for
his announcement. At least, The En-
quirer invariably recognizes that right.
We do not consider that any one other
than the party named has any business
20 ask us; but when demand for the
information comes from the proper
party we give it without hesitation
1t often happens that the party nomi-
mated does not care to know the source
of the nomination. That, however, ac-
cording to the rules of this paper, is a
matter of his own pleasure.
The advertising costs in connection
with nomination are invariably
charged to the individual authorizing
the announcement, unless his instruc-
tions are otherwise. If the party an
nounced actually becomes candidate
he usually pays his advertising and
other expenses himself: but as tc
whether he pays any bills that he did
not authorize is, of course, a matter OF
his own choice.

Why?

What is it that divides men in pol
itics? Applied to national politics, with
out looking underneath for a reason,
the answer is easy-party.
Southern born white men are DEM
ocrats because, under conditions as
they exist, it is difficult for them to be
anything else. There are thousands
who are unable to tell why they are
Democrats, just as there are thousands
in the north who are unable to tell
why they are Republicans.
But it is not the difference between
Democrats and Republicans into which
we are now inquiring. Everybody who
observed and thinks, is prone to note
the infalible tendency of our own peo-
pie to divide upon almost every ques-
tion whether of men or measures.
OF course, there are exceptions to all
rules: but as a general thing it is to
be noted that the men on different sides
of any given proposition, are men OF
certain inclinatiOnS and tendencies: that
searching analysis Of underlying mo-
tives pervading either side of a con-
trOverted question will show a SINH
Iarity of characteristics, desires or as
pirations.

THERE are those who would have the
rottenness and corruption of the old
state dispensary has disappeared as a
political issue; but those who really
undertake to believe such a thing will
deceive themselves badly. Surely no.
body up this way has forgotten how
much the state Of South Carolina owes
to the patriotic courage and noble de-
votion of Neil Christensen, Jr., the
manly young senator from Beaufort
in connection with the downfall Of the
dispensary grafters. Mr.. Christensen
is now having the fight Of his life for
re- election. Except for the work of
Mr. Christensen on the investigating
committee, the state would now be lit
orally writhing under the heels of as
constituencies a gang Of political mis-
creants as ever flourished in this free
country. There is not a we'll informed
fair minded man in the state who will
try to deny this fact. Mr.. Frazer Lyon
has gotten great credit for his work
in this connection, but 40 more than
he deserves. Ask him what his work
would have amounted to without the
help Of Mr.. Christensen and he will
gladly testify that it would never have
been heard of. There is not a CRATER
in the state who does not fully under
stand this fact That is why they are

between his old platform and his

called the second. term precedent
claiming that no such precedent ex-
lists. He charged the governor with
extravaganza, in that he recommend,
ed increases in salaries and favored
the creation of useless offices such as
insurance commissioner and commlS-
sioner Of immigration, and wanted a
magnificent governors mansion buiit.
He opposed Governor AnsePs views
and he favored cutting down the cost
of higher education and giving more
teachers and better paid teachers to
the public schools. He was applauded
at the beginning and end Of his ad-
dress, and it was evident that he had
many friends in the audience.

A SMALL newsboy was the hero OF
an interesting incident that developed
in the North Carolina Democratic con-
vention in Charlotte yesterday. The
boy had sold a paper to a delegate fol
a nickel, and the delegate gave the boy
dollar to be changed After he had
found change for the money the boy
was unable to find the delegate, and
he appealed to the chairman Of the
convention, who made an appropriate
announcement from the platform. The
effect on the assembled delegates was
marked. They Immediately started a
subscription for the honest boy and
filled his little hat with nickels, dimes
and quarters. They made up SIS in all
1t is nice thing, there is no question
about that; but still the incident Is moi
without a significant lesson. Suppose
the boy instead Of hunting up the del
egate had put the money in his pocket
The delegate would have merely
thought to himself, THAT is the way
they all do" and let it go at that. Is
proof needed? If a thing Of this kind
had been as commonplace as it ought
to be, would the convention have made
such an extraordinary demonstration
over it? And really, ought not such
things as this little newsboy did be sc
common that they would be taken as
matter Of course. However, all hon
or to this little newsboy. He will be
a useful man.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The developments in the speculative
market yesterday are summarized In
a New York dispatch of last night as
follows:
The cotton market was very quiet
again today and after an opening de-
cline, fluctuations proved narrow and
irregular with new crop months SHOW
ing relative steadiness, and the close
steady at a net loss Of 1 to points.
Sales for the day were estimated at
only $4,000 bales.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline Of II to IA points on near months
and 4 to 5 points lower on later posi-
tions which was about in line with the
cables. The old crop months were very
quiet, and may have been influenced to
some extent by the circulation OF a
few additional July notices, but these
positions steadied up after midday IN
sympathy with later months, and al
one time July was only points net
lower while the new crop sold to
points net higher on buying by spot
houses and scattered covering by wall
street shorts Notwithstanding the IA
vorable average Of weather and crop
news There were some complaints OF
dry weather from south Texas and
parts Of Alabama, while private wires
reported undesired rains at points In
Oklahoma and Arkansas. Otherwise
weather and crop accounts were IA
vorable, including the. private condition
report issued by local authority, in
dicating an average condition Of 80:
per cent comparing with last years
government report Of 72 per cent ano
1873 per cent two years ago. There
were reports Of renewed curtailment
among the New England mills ano
trade advices from the continent con-
tinue unfavorable but spot advices
were generally bullish as to conditions
in the interior, with the southern mar
ket officially reported unchanged to &c
lower.
Receipts at the ports 1891 against
8,43S last week, and 1,345 last year
For the week $4,000 bales, against 49,
582 last week, and 1923 last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans 3,S4t
against 1O8 last year. and at Houston
1921 against $50 last year.
