RATE LAWS NULLIFIED
Court Decision Which May Xiii All
the Two Cent Rates

Kansas City, March 9.-Missouri's
2-cent passenger and maximum freight
laws were nullined by a decision
handed down in the United States dis
trict cour. by Judge Mcpherson, who
held that both the commodity ami
passenger laws were cOnfiscatory and
unconstitutional. AS a result. it is
believed, there will be a quick return
in Missouri to Scent fares.
Frank Hagerman, for the eighteen
companies involved, asserts that the
decision sounds the death knell of the
2-cent rate in every state in the
union.
The state, on the other hand, de-
clares emphatically that Missouri's
fight for lower railroad rates will be
continued.

We heartily agree with Sena-
tor Tillman, the politicians are
trying to ruin Clemson College.
It may be that some reforms are
needed in the institution, but we
doubt the wisdom of changing
it's present status. The purpose
for which the college was started
has not been faithfully carried
out-an agricultural college
but instead of making agricul-
tnre it's main feature, that par
ticular branch is of minor con-
sideration and other professions
have been pushed. Notwith-
standing this, it is a fine school,
it is doing much good, it supplies
experts for mining aud electric
engineering, it supplies archi.

ers, lawyers, doctors, soldiers
and some few farmers. 1t is sup
ported largely by the farmers,
and the cost of it's maintainence
is immense, we're it under politi.
cal control, the politicians would
ruin it, fortunately there are life
trustees who hold the balance
of power, thus insuring safety.
We hope those in control will
put an end to the annual rows,
but that they will not permit it's
government to get away from
the present control.

FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old One. How
it Can be Done in Manning.

The back aches at times with a dull,
indescribable feeling, making you weary
and restless: piercing pains shoot across
the region of the kidneys, and again the
loins are so lame 70 stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply plaster to the back
in this condition. You cannot reach the
cause. Exchange the bad back for a
new and stronger one. Manning resi-
dents would do well to profit by the fol-
lowing example.

NOTHING CONTAINING ALCOHOL.

The supreme court of Mississ-
ippl has declared that no bever
age can be soldin thatstate which
contains any percentage what
ever of alcohol. The purpose Of
the decision is to knock out the
':near beer" saloons. The effect
if strictly enforced will be
to knock out ice cream fes-
tiyals, donation parties, char
ity dinners, and all Of the other
schemes to raise money Tor ben
eyolent purposes because all the
favorings contain alcohol, and
which are frequently used as a
beverage whether so sold or not.
If the sale Of essence Of lemon
which contains a larger per cent
age of alcohol than does whiskey,
can be sold lawfully when not
sold as a beverage, then whiskey
can also be sold, if the purchaser
does not inform the seller it is to
be used as a beverage. Then it
whiskey can be sold but not for
beverage purposes, the sellers Of
whiskey will post notices in their
shops which will read "whiskey
sold here, but not to be used as
a beverage"
None of the decisions that we
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1909-06-16

have seen so far: touch the meat
Of the question. neither do they
settle anything. This Mississippi
decision merely prohibits the sale
of any beverage containing alco-
hol, now the question is what is
a beverage? All of the aavoring
extracts and essences used in the
household contain alcohol, are
they debarred by the decision?
While they are not standard bev-
erages such as whiskey, wine
and beer, they are fast becoming
beverages, because of the large
proportion of alcohol in them.
Jamaica ginger, paregoric, sooth-
ing syrup, Chamberlain's collc
cure, and the several remedies
that were put on the market by
the late. DR.. Baer, are household
remedies; we understand they all
contain a heavy per centage OF
alcohol, and it is known many OF
these remedies are being used as
substitutes for liquor. 1t does
strike US, that in rendering a de-
cision the courts should make
themselves clear that the people
who are expected to respect the
law will know just what law they
are expected to obey.
AS it is, cases are taken to the
courts on some particular point,
which does not effect the merits
of the question as a whole. and
when that point is decided, ali
the other features of the question
remain for the lawyers to go be-
fore the courts again and again.
The wheels OF justice will only
turn when creased.
What we want to see, and this
desire is in the interest Of law:
order and temperance, a case
taken into the courts covering
every feature, and a decision rem
dered that will settle once and
for all the status Of the liquor
question.

With due respect to His Honor
Judge Gage we cannot agree with
him in directing the clerk of
court not to issue pay certificates
to such witnesses who are bound
over to attend court, and when
they go before the grand jury
they know nothing about the
case. It is not the fault Of the
witness, the Magistrate should
be held accountable, but once a
witness has been bound over, and
he appears the county owes him
his per diem and mileage, the
same as if he turned out TO be a
material witness, and we'll that
this is so, because if a man can
be forced to attend court, and his
pay depends upon his knowledge
of the case, the temptation to
''know something" is too great.

WORK FOR TILLMAN AND SMITH.

The senators representing
southern interests, will now have
their attention occupied to keep
cotton bagging and ties from hav-
ing tariff placed upon them. Ii
congress puts a tariff on bagging
and ties, it means, according to
Senator Bacon, cost of S5, ,OOO,-
900 to the farmers of the South.
Here is where Senators Till
man and Smith should get busy,
they should let the Republicans
understand that unless these az,
ticles of necessity to the South
are freed from tariff. they pro-
pose to prolong the fight, If it
takes all summer.
It is our opinion that any com
promise which will release the
rif-clutches from our bagglng
and ties, will be heartily approx
ed by the southern people.
While we may expect much
from Senator Tlllman. because
he is a hard fighter when he gets
his dander up, more must be ex-
pected from Senator Smith on
this subject, because the matter
of growing and marketing cotton
has been a speciality with him
many years, and we think we can
safely say he is standard auth
ority on the subject. Therefore
when he rises in the senate to op-
pose a tariff on bagging and ties.
he speaks with authority. and all
fair minded men who are not tied
hand and foot to a party policy,
but who are honestly endeavor-
ing to secure the country's best
interests will give our junior
senator's arguments against a
tariff on bagging and ties much
consideration.
