HEAVY FERTILIZER SALES.
This is Shown BY the Number of Tax
Tags Sold,

Columbia, March 15.-The farmers
of the state according to the number
of tax tags sold, are using more fer
tiizer this year than in the past. The
books in the state treasurers office
show that since the first of the year
the sum of $154,4GT.3S has been re-
ceived for tags. This is over $4,000
more than was received at this time
last year. The amount received to
date last year was $142,147.17. The
total amount received from the fertili-
zc" tax tags last year was $2O2 2,741.31.
This money goes to Clemson college.
There is a tax of % cents on every ton
of fertilizer sold in the state.
1t was said today that the fertiliZ-
er companies are ruching all orders
and that fact probably accounts for
the increased sale. According to the
amount OF tax money received it shows
that over 100000 tons of fertilizer
have been sold in the state since the
first of the year.

negro hack oriver of this city, was
found guilty of selling whiskey by a
jury in the mayors court, and a sen
tence of 500 or 80 days on the streets
was passed on him. Johnsons at
torneys appealed to the circuit court
on several grounds among them be-
ing that the mayors court has no iu-
risdiction to try liquor cases-that the
mayors jurisdiction is coordinate with
that or magistrates. The circuit court
in September, 1909, Judge Robert Aid
rich presiding, sustained the appeal
and dismissed the case, deciding that
the mayors court had no jurisdiction
to try the case. The city appealed
the case to the supreme court, and
the decision handed down today re-
versed the circuit court, and af1rms
that of Mayor Sherard This means
that municipal courts can try liquor
cases, and will, therefore, play
large part in the enforcement of the
laws against Illicit liquor selling.
The enforcement of these laws is de-
pendent largely upon the municipal
courts, and had the decision of the
court been that these courts could
not try the cases prohibition would
have received Knockout blow in

Br,stOw Exactly Right.

We think Rev. Louis Bristow is ex-
actly right when he says, Hon c.. c..
Featherstone is the logical candidate
of the prohibitionists for governor this
year Mr.. Featherstone has been ad-
vocating state prohibition for a long
time. He has been advocating it for
so long that nobody can say that he
is prohibitionist for the sake of
office, Aside from his views as to pro
hibition, he is a strong, able man and
is well fitted in every way for the
office to which he aspires.
We believe the majority OF the voters
Of the state are in favor of statewide
prohibition, and at the same time
we do not think that voting for can
didates who espouse or oppose the
cause is an altogether fair way of set
Ting the question
For instance, there are many vot-
ers who are In favor of local option
who will vote for Mr.. Featherstone
for governor because they admire him
as a man, and believe that if elected
he will give the state a good admin
istration and will honestly try to en-
force the law. whatever it may be.
And on the other hand, if Hon. r.
L. Manning, who is local optionist,
enters the race there are many pro-
hibitionists who will vote for him be-
cause they know him to be one of the
finest men in the state and they know
that he will make the state good
governor.
Mr. Featherstone and Mr.. Manning
are both able, clean men, and both
are widely known and popular through
out the state. A contest between
these two men for the position of
governor would be as much test of
personal popularity as a test of pro-
hibition sentiment
We have thought 1t might be a good
idea for the state democratic eXecu-
tive committee to order a seperate box
to be placed at each precinct in the
first primary, in which the voters
could express their views as to state
prohibition. Or the question might be
placed on the same ticket with the
names OF the candidates for state Of
ficers, and each voter be required to
express his choice or have his whole
ticket thrown out.
We want the question of state pro-
hibition to be settled this year. but
we want it settled so there will be no
doubts as to the will of the people,
and we do not think that race for
governor with prohibition as the issue
will be an altogether fair or accurate
expression of the will of the people,
