III Clarendon and probably oonds
IL Eutledge
We haven't the space 70 take
up all Of Stewart Stars matter.
there is too much for US to
attempt to answer in detail, but
it does seem TO Us if Stewart
Starr was open, and frank in this
matter, he would not have with
held his supplement from those
who oppose him in his scheme.
He would hide nothing. Those
of us who are opposed TO the for
nation of Rutledse secured cop
les OF this wonderful supplement
by accident, and not from, by, or
through the courtesy OF Starr, or
his co-conspiratorS, to snatch
Sandy Grove from Clarendon.
Just before going to press our
attention, was direcred to q state
ment made in the Lake City pa
per to the effect that if the peo-
pie Of Sandy Grove have any
doubt Of the contention made by
the Rutledge county advocates
with regard to the Clarendon
liability. bond will be prepared
and signed by men worth half q
million dollars, agreeing TO per-
SonaIly assume Sandy Groves
proportion Of Clarendon's bond
issue. Who ever heard of such
a proposition: How can these
men agree to assume an annual
payment Indebtedness for forty
years: What sensible people
would accept such q guarantee:
These Lake City gentlemen who
arc so willing to assume Sandy
Groves proportion of Claren-
don's liability may be worth half
million today, and next year not
worth 4 copper. II they are in
earnest and really mean they will
assume Sandy Groves liability,
let them come across with the
cash now before the vote is cast.
Money talks more effectively
than promises.

THERE IS AN APPARENT DECREASE.

THE TINES editor is asked to
say whether Or not he believes
the consumption Of alcoholic
liquors have been materially
decreased in this county,
since the dispensary was voted
out: It is difficult to get at the
facts; in the town of Manning We
are satisfied the consumption has
been decreased. but in the coun-
ty at large we do not Eaow. Dur
ing the summer months the con-
sumption always fall of. We be-
lieve those who drink liquor, and
have the money continue drink
ing, the removal Of the sale,
makes it iuconvenient for some,
ard these let it alone. Take the
proposition as a whole, We be-
lieve that less money is beng
spent for whiskey now, what will
be done when money begins to be
handled remains to be seen
We will say.if prohibition goes
through the winter months, as
it passed through the summer
months. that the consump
tion of liquor, through pro-
hibition is materially reduced.
Further: when Sumte.: and
Williamsburg join the dry col
umn as we are satisfied they both
will, then we believe the con-
sumption of liquor will be more
greatly reduced in Clarendon.
This is remarkably sober
county anyway, a dozen habitual
drnnkards are not in it. There is
a population of 40, 600, and there
is not twelve habitual drunkards,
therefore it is hard to determine
what amount of liquor is brought
in this county by express. freight
or buggies.

An1rsEn THE WRONG MAN.

The Chronicle last night had a Bit
terly abusive article accusing Council
man Coulson of running his automo-
bile over the fire hose at Saturday
nights fire. 1t is said he was warned
to keep off but persisted in running
over the hose and probably prosecu-
ton would follow his h'einous act
The fact was that Mr.. Coulson's car
was at the garage while he was on
foot helping at the fire SO that the
abuse was unwarranted.
Further than that, when the fire
men hitched to the hydrant at Null
berry and Second and filled the hose
with water, then had to move 1t two
blocks west, at the firemen's request
a car and driver were furnished from
Mr.. Coulson's garage to assist thu
fire team in hauling the hose TO th'
proper hydrant.
The way Of the man who tries u
be a good citizen in Abilene is ratnel
rocky,

After travelIng down the river wIt

After travelling down the river with
Speaker Cannon, Gov. Stubs tells
the Capital that he sizes him up like
this: "From the impression / gain
of the speaker 1t is my opinion that
he has been standing still in one
place for 25 years. while the country
has been passing by" And Speaker
Cannon probably went home and
told his home paper that he sized up
Stubs like this: "He impressed me
as a man who is chasing off into the
sidelines, about twenty-five hundred
feet away from the procession OF
progress" The trouble with these
impressions of great men by each
other is that they have two sides to
them.

TEACHERs TOOK A HAND.

The Keasas state Teachers AS
sociation slapped Governor Stubs In
the face at their Topeka meeting
when 1t voted down a resolution
authorizing him to appoint an edu-
cational commission to suggest need
Cd school legislation at the next ses-
sion Of the legislature.
The committee on resolutions
brought In a resolution to have the
president of the association ap-
point the committee. Superintendent
Stanley, Of Lincoln, moved to amend
the resolution 50 that the commission
would be appointed by the govern
or. He said that q committee ap-
pointed by the governor would get
better results, in his opinion. But
when the amendment was put to q
vote II went down by a big majority.
The committee on resolutions also
stacked the cards against State sup
erintendent Falrchild. In the origi-
nal draft, as presented, the resolution
only commended him in general
way, without even mentioning ms
name. His friends, who reaiized
what a good superintendent ne mao
made, and who knew Of his tireless
work in making his meeting OF tne
teachers a great success, would not
stand for the perfunctory endorse
ment.
They offered an amendment eulog-
izing his work, and mentioned him
nv name. When the amendment was
nut only one lone teacher out OF the
45OO voted against 1t. The special
endorsement was hard blow to some
of the leaders, who were trying to
manipulate the convention for their
own personal and political benenit.
