A number of newspapers through
out the State have reproduced our
remarks in reference to the primary,
but have not expressed an opinion in
regard to the matter. Let us have an
expression of opinion from the press.
The publications in regard to brib-
cry and corruption in the recent
primary should be CALLING to every
honest Carolinian, and it is high time
some sincere effort was made to cor
rect this growing evil. Certainly the
primary system as now conducted
does give room for crooked work, and
it often happens that the best man is
not elected. The people who own the
property and pay taxes, thus bearing
the burden of government, should
not be dictated to by the non-taXpay-
ers, who too often have vicious ideas
in regard to government, for the rea'
son that no system affects them. Let's
regulate the primary or do away with
it.

Cooperative Creameries in South
Carolina.

The creamery promoter sharks
have invaded sections of the Pied
mont belt of this State and we un-
derstand have succeeded in organiz-
ing at least one creamery company
and are now at work in other COM
munities. In the sections in which
they are working it is safe to say
that there are not enough COWS to
supply the local demand for milk,
cream and butter, and yet the peo-
pie have been led to believe that
plant depending upon good milk
supply for success, can be profitably
operated. To mislead people into
such an enterprise is nothing but
deceit and graft and the people in
every community of the State should
be on guard against such dealers
in "gold bricks
Georgia has just passed
through a sad and expensive crea-
merry experience. During 1908
creamery promoters of Chicago or
ganized seven creameries in various
parts of the State costing from $4,-
$50 to $4,000. Of these seven
creameries only one is now in opera
ton and it is financed by capitalist.
All the remainder have perished
from lack of support. At some of
these plants not more than forty or
fifty COWS supplied milk while for
profitable operation the milk from
five hundred COWS of average quality
is required. One Of these creameries
lost seventeen hundred dollars in a
few months time, while the failure
of others showed either that no
money was maderor there was loss.
The establishing of creameries
in sections where there is practically
no dairy interest and where local
markets pay more for dairy prod
ucts than a creamery can possibly
pay, is absolute folly as is witnessed
by the experience of Georgia, Ken
lucky and other States. Yet the peo-
pie are being misled and deceived by
smooth tongued sellers of machinery
who charge about fifty per cent. more
| for their machinery than it can be
| purchased for elsewhere.
That creameries are profitable no
| one uenies and that samples cited
by promoters in proof of this profit
may be true, but it should be taken
into consideration that these profits
| were made in dairy localities
places where the dairy is the money
crop and where most every farmer
has a herd of COWS and understands
how to handle those COWS. In such
sections creameries are necessary to
handle the milk from these COWS and
to find a market for the products.
Such conditions do not exist in South
Carolina. Cows are scarce and poor
in quality and more than that they

OFFICIALS DENY GUN PLAY.
Declare Horton Was Not Forced to
Sign Confession.

That Harold Horton, the former
book-keeper of the Hampton. Loan
and Exchange bank was not forced
to sign a confession of shortage of
$1,000 at the point Of pistol was the
statement made by one of the officers
of the bank who came to Columbia
Yesterday on private business. The
statement was made by the official
that Horton dictated the statement OF
his confession to the cashier of the
bank, who Horton alleges forced him
to write the confession. The state
ment was written on typewriter ana
was made by the cashier, according
to this official. 1t is also said by Of
fficials that Horton later wrote let
ter in which he confirmed his alleged
shortage. This matter was written
when Horton was out of town and
was not near the cashier.
Horton is a young man and had
been connected with the Hampton
bank for some time. He was dis
charged by the cashier on the charge
of being short in his accounts to the
extent of approximately $1,000. He
was under bond of several thousand
dollars.
Making an Investigation.
The officers of the bonding COM
pany are making an investigation of
the shortage. Should the bonding
company pay up the alleged shortage,
then the company, it is said, will
prosecute Horton. Should the COM
pany refuse to pay the shortage then
a suit will be instituted against the
bonding company by the bank OIL
cials. In the event a suit is brought
against Horton by the bonding COM
pany the officials of the bank will be
used as witnesses.
The case has been placed in the
hands of Solicitor Byrnes for prosecu-
ton. It is known that a warrant has
been sworn out against Horton by the
bonding company and placed with a
MAGISTRATE in Hampton to be exc
cuted on the order of the officials Of
the company. Horton has never been
arrested.
Case With Solicitor Byrnes.
A copy of the report of the State
bank examiner has been sent to So
licitor Byrnes.
This is not the first time that the
Hampton bank has come before the
inspection of the State officials, ac-
cording to the State bank examiner,
who says in his report to the State
treasurer: "You will remember that
this is the same bank with which We
had trouble 1S months ago concern
ing a shortage of the county teasurer
of Hampton county, The bank ex-
aminer says that the cashier is man
who he does not understand, al
though II have never failed to find
his books and records in perfect Or
der and balance" 1t is also stated
that he investigated a number OF
charges perferred against the cashier
by the book-keeper, Horton. With
reference to this the report says:
The majority of them I found to be
wholly without foundation, and evi-
dence in others is of such meagre
kind that I doubt if it would hold in
a court of law" ."-Columbia State.

he added to this statement that ''the
world is trying to make 100000 bales
of cotton do the work of 100000
bales"
This observation from such authority
is significant, but is in keeping with the
logic of events.
For years the cotton growers were
being pauperized in growing cotton and
selling it at four and five cents, but
there came the change, which is taught
bv the stern and exacting teacher, ex-
perience, when acreages in cotton have
been turned into cereals and fruits from
which Northern markets are being Sup
piled
In this line of thought Mr.. Muir said A:
THE refrigerator cars and the fast
freight trains used by the railroads that
serve the South and the North and the
West have played the mischief with the
cotton belt, inasmuch as there is almost
twice as much per acre for the Southern
farmer in raising early fruits and veg
etab1es for the Northern and Western
markets than there is in raising cotton. "
In this new order of proceedings there
is visible and lasting prosperity for the
South, and when, to the refrigerator
cars and fast freight trains, the cotton
looms of the South will be increased so
as to transform the raw material into
marketable merchandise, the South will
then be formidable not only as produc-
ers of feed stuff for mankind, but it will
assume its natural position in the af-
fairs of the Nation unquestioned by par
tisanship. This emancipation of slavery
from cotton at pauper prices to refrig-
orator cars and fast freight trains is
leading to the glorifcation of the South
and the unlimited prosperity of its peo-
pie.

DIXIE
It Is the Song of the South and of the
Nation

From Denver, says the States, comes
the interesting news that the manager
of the famous Hofbrau there found 1t
necessary to cut the tune of Dixie" out
of his musical programme because its
effect on the Denverites was quite as
dynamic as that of 'MarseillaiseN on the
excitable French temperament. 1t IS
said that the after-theater diners at the
Hofbrau behaved themselves in phleg-
matte way peculiar to Americans until
the band played "Dixie." Then there
was an upheaval that suggested hui
man explosion. The people jumped to
their feet and how1ed frantically as they
smashed crockery and broke furniture
of more or less value. Therefore, in or
der to preserve order and prevent the
demolition of his property the proprietor
of the establishment has, as we have
stated, eliminated the inspiring song
from the menu of the cafe.
What is all this rising up at the
sound of Dixie" says the St. Paul Dis
patch, ''but proof that puritanism has
gone from our blood and cavalier has
come in its stead? There is psychology
here, more than the managers OF the
Hofbrau appreciate. For some time it
has been suspected that Americans are
not the Puritans they used to be, that
New England has lost its supremacy, IN
our politics, in our thinking, in our
manners. For some time it has been
suspected. that the American tempera-
ment is not British, instinct with dig
nifty and reserve, but is Calls, quite as
capable as the French of going into
spasms of JOY or rage, especially when
given a 'Marseillaise' to carry it along"
Proof is not lacking that the dear old
blood-fring tune of Dixie has become
the American Marseillaise, and belongs
no longer to the South, where it was
developed as the battle song of the cav
alier, but is now the song of the Nation.
The St. Paul Dispatch states the truth
when, i'll commenting on the universal
popularity of the tune, it says: Even if
your father fought in the Northern
army, your blood leaps to the sound of
Dixie as though he had fought for it
instead of against it. The Dixon line
may still divide the North and South,

All of which is true, and it is well for
the country that it is true.

SHREVEPORT IN MARSHALL,
TEXAS


A number of citizens of Shreveport
visited Marshall, Texas, Friday for the
purpose of refuting the SANDERS against
this community as applied in connection
with prohibition by Lieutenant Nolen
of the police, and J. J. Pennock, an
emissary of the breWeries.
The demonstration in Marshall by the
prohibitionists was intensely enthusias-
tic. The visitors from Shreveport were
met by committee of citizens with a
brass band and escorted to the head
quarters.
They were in Marshall at the same
time delegations of citizens from Tex
arkana, Iongview, Hallvi1le, Tyler and
other places WHO were present to re-
flute the ISLANDERS of the saloons and the
breweries against their respective com
munities.
Several meetings were held in the af-
ternoon at different points and as many
at night.
Marshall was aroused. The good
people were out aud about, and among
the most active were the women, who
are ever loyal to their homes and their
loved ones.
Among the speakers from Shreveport
who addressed the several meetings
should be mentioned John Jenkins, T.
B. Chase, Vic Fulton, Judge J, c. Pugh,
NJ Dingle and Rev. Claude L. Jones.
The ladies were addressed by Mrs.
Randell Hunt of Shreveport in church.
1t would seem needless to say that
the SANDER of Shreveport was not only
refuted completely, but was 6guratively
shredded with facts which can not be
questioned.
In such misstatements is evidenced
the recklessness of the partisan, of the
man so thoroughly and deeply preju-
diced as to be blinded to truth
And what have Nolen and Pennock
gained?
From reports obtained from the meet
ing they were roasted to turn.
The election which is to take place in
Marshall next Tuesday, April II, is on
the issue of prohibition. In Marshall
there are sixteen saloons, or one saloon
for each thousand inhabitants, including
the women and children.
In Marshall thefe,are 778 voters who
are negroes.
The feeling is intense and is grow
ing. 1t is not possible to determine
which side will score, but the hope is
entertained that the saloon forces will
be routed IN Marshall, as recently in
Texarkana, foot, horse and dragoon.
