Since the government has

Since the government has
taken an active stand against
the trusts, the monied magnates
will go slow in the matter OF
combinations of restraining trade
The result must be the cheaper
| ing of those things which have
for the past several years been
in the power of a few men who
fix the price regardless of actual
value; it is a well known fact
that many articles of necessity
are in the hands Of these combi-
nations, and the masses who use
them mustlpay a heavy tribute
to these money kings, Not only
is this the case with the pro-
ducts grown or manufactured
abroad, but the same condition
exists with the products of the
local grower or manufacturer,
the consumer is the goat for
them all, but II the government
succeeds in smashing these mer-
ciless trusts or combinations SO
that legitimate competition can
have a part in the market then we
look forward to the time when
there will be a live and let live
condition in this country.

by the facts nor the records.

Mr.. Cantey must have rsceiv-
ed his information from so.-.e
hookworm friend Of his who
thinks the senator from this coun-
ty should have jumped into the
drainage wagon on faith without
giving its provisions thorough
study. It was a matter of impos-
sibillty to study out the provis-
ions of that long bill during the
last session. and the proponents
of it would not consent to its 60
ing over so the bill was permit
ed to pass with twenty three
counties exempted from its pro
visions. These are Abbeville,
Aiken. Anderson, Bamberg,
Cherokee, Chester, Chesterfield,
Clarendon, Edgefeld: Fairfield,
Greenville, Greenwood: Laurens,
Lee. Lexington. Marlboro, New
berry, Oconee, Pickens, Saluda,
Spartanburg, Union and York.
So it will be seen by Mr.. Cantey,
and the person sin a position to
know" that while the Act does in
it's last section repeat the eSemp.
tion for Clarendon, the first sec
tion of the Act exempts Claren
don along with twenty three other
counties, a majority.

:, MISLEADING CRITICISM.
Summerton. S. c., June %. Is

Summerton. S. c.. June p, 1911.
have had recently the pleasure Of
reading two articles, which desire to
discuss through your paper IN connec-
ton with two Acts Of the last Legisla-
ture OF this State.
One Of the articles, to which refer,
appeared in the Outlook of New York,
and had to do with the establishment Of
a medical college in China for the wo-
men OF China; the reason for the estab-
Iishment of this college is due primarily
to the fact that the women of China will
not expose their person TO the male ply
sician nor permit the male physician to
their bedrooms: and the article further
relates to the fine work which the scieu-
ti6cally trained woman physician is do
ing for the physical unlift and for the
betterment of the health conditions and
surroundings of the women Of China.
The other article. to which [ refer.
was prepared by woman physician OF
this State. DR.. Sophia Brunson, and ap-
peared recently in an issue of the Char
lesion News and Courier; in this article,
Dr.. Brunson undertakes to state what
the woman physician has accomplished
and can accomplish and the very great
need OF the woman physician in the
homes and the female schools and col
leges of this State: Dr.. Brunson argues
that women generally are modest, and
the young lady especially So and are
not inclined 10 reveal their special Ills
to the ordinary male physician. until
those special ills have developed and re-
sul,ed acutely and very frequently end
ia insanity or death.
Ny reason for referring 70 these Two
articles, is because of the fact. that dur
ing the last session of the Legislature
of this State, the small sum OF $4,000
was appropriated to the Charleston Med
ical college, and this item was vetoed by
the Governor: now | think the aforesaid
was an exceedingly modest sum for the
Legislature to have appropriated IN the
direction Of advancing medical research
and am satisfied that the Governor
rade great mistake when ne vetoed
sane.
But what | would like TO see and what
[ think good citizens generally should
like 10 see. is that the Legislature OF
South Carolina at its next session, ap-
propriate on certain approved terms and
conditions. the sum OF one hundred
Thousand dollars for the establishment
OF medical college for women alone.

This is the idea that moved
Mrs. Sage to give ten million
dollars, not to relieve poverty
and suffering only, but to study
their causes and to find ways not
only to palliate, but to prevent
them. This Sage Fundation ap-
peals to US as Home Missionary
women to see the the possibili.
ties of this noble branch of work
and we are seeing and acting
upon the knowledge of the fact.
Many years ago the exterpation
of prostitution. was an impossible
dream, though abroad in the
land today we are grateful to
say that our Vashi Home is say
ing many a one by preventing
the evil to come at least those
who go there.
The fight against the awful
evil of drink IS waged against
as never before. The white
pleague prevalent among the i'll
nourished, poorly housed and
overworked is no longer a help
less fight. OF the cities, more
especially. is this housing con-
dition applied, but it is timely
for thought in as small a town

appreciation was given to the
necessity of having some condl-
tions bettered conscience would
cry out; then things ought not
to be. nay must not be. So much
is at the command of the num-
Der of the well thinking educa-
ted women if they would come
together in unity and practical
organization, not only to beau
tjfy, but to improve the sanitary
condition to some extent at least.
We are glad for the improve
ment noted in houses for tenants,
where room enough is consider
ed at least to preserve the mod

the object of said medical college being
the education and training z: women
physicians, who can supply the very
need so ably presented by DR.. Brunson
in the article previously referred to:
further, I understand the establishment
of such a medical school for women
would meet the approval of all the lead
ing medical authorities IN this State.
The other Act of the Legislature to
which I have previously referred was
designed to promote the public health,
convenience and welfare by lereeing,
ditching and draining the wet, swamp
and oreraowed lands Of the State" and
was passed by the Legislature and ap-
proved by the Governor; this Act did
not propose or provide for an additional
tax on the people Of the State as a
whole or upon the people of any indy
idual county: it simply provided that
the majority of the resident land owners
in proposed drainage district may by
proper petition, if they so elect, estab-
lish drainage district as provided in
the ACT.
This ACT, as everybody knows. bad
the support OF all the leading health all
thorities of the State and was enacted
for the benefit Of the Individual farmers
of the State, who desire to drain their
lands. and who previous to the passage
Of said Act were bottled up with respect
to the drainage of their individual
farms: might say further, this Act was
carefully prepared and the supporters
OF same had the advice and experience
OF the leading drainage authorities of
this country.
But alas, Mr.. Editor, the last section
of this much desired Act provides as
follows, to wit: "The provisions of this
Act shall not apply to Clarendon coun-
ty." / am reliably informed that the
Senator OF this county is responsible for
the fact that Clarendon county was ex-
cepted from the operation of this splen-
did drainage Act; now, Mr.. Editor,
have no fault to find of you personally
and you have been exceeding courteous
to me, 10 the matter of the use Of the
columns of your newspaper, but I am
informed bg parties in a position to know
that you Invariably do all you can in
your capacity as State Senator to OBJ
struct all gooi legislation, and / should
like for you to publish this article in
the next issue Of your paper, over my
signature, and explain TO your consult
uenss, why Clarendon county has been
excepted from the provisions of the
drainage Act in question, especially in
view of the fact that said Act IN no man
nerincreases State or county taxes and
in view of the fact that possibly no Sec
tion OF the State is so much in need OF
drainage and freedom from malaria and
hookworm as the county OF Clarendon.

Governor Brown Of Georgia,
has postponed the bearing in the
matter Of requisition in the case
of the State OF South Carolina,
against T. B. Fielder for whom a
warrant was issued to be taken
to Newberry until tomorrow. The
requisltlon will be fought hard
by Felder's friends in Atlanta
and it would notsurprise US If the
governor of Georgia refused to
honor the requisition in this case.
So far as the general public is
concerned there is very little
faith to convict Fielder even il he
is brought back to stand trial;
the probability is that he would
fight being tried in Newberry:
and if the case was taken to some
other county the public sentiment
is ia such d mixed condition,
we doubt that twelve men could
be empane!led who would agree.
We regard the whole thing a
waste of time, and the Newberry
grand jury would do we'll to throw
it out.

lesion enjoined from keeping
wines, beer or liquor, and should
this injunction be disobeyed the
proprietors of these establish
ments would be liable to i'm
prisonment for contempt, with

known of all men that liquor is
being sold almost openly in that

that it would be to the interest
of the State, and especially in
the interest of good morals and
law enforcement, for the court
to withdraw the injunction
against these respectable places,
and for the legislature to make
some provision for them so the
travelling public may not be

HOME MISSIONS.
MANNING AUXILIARY

"What Is Bad Housing?" We
quote from a pamphlet written
for Home Mission workers. Any
condidition of housing that in
itself tends to impair the physi,
cal or moral health Of the tenant
is bad housing. Any condition
Of housing which is unsafe OF un,
sanitary or in any way unfit for
living or homd-,nalzing is bad
housing. Any condition of hous-
ing which is damaging to the
community is bad housing.
Judging from 4 pamphlet
written by Mr. Nettleford, an
Englishman. the movement for
sanitary and attractive homes
for wage-earners has gone much
sarther in England than with US.
This writer deals especially with
the development of suburban
districts for working mems fam
lies, with the methods. of con-
curing the city slums and with
the development Of town plan
ming and copartnership of the
village movement in the same
direction. We learn from differ
ent sources the wonderful de-
veiopmeut beyond the initial
stage Of giving relief in distress.
BY degrees the obligation,
"Christ Lift U.s." has attained a
new vision and a wider service.
The example of the Good Samar-
itan fifty years ago did just what
he of the parable did. The Good
of today does that

vention from threatening disease

tions which arose in the minds Of
those who had their counties ex-
empted was, shall we subject our
people to being forced to aid these
syndicates in the draining of their
lands? Would it not be best to
put this matter off until we can
ascertain the needs and the wish
es of those likely to be affected?
It was this desire to be careful
and to protec5 the Interests OF
the masses which prompted the
senator from this county to ask
for the exemption. The whole
measure could have been defeat
ed by those who had their coun-
ties exempted, because, a major
ity of the membership came into
the exemption, not, as Mr.. Can
tey would have his readers think,
that Clarendon alone is exempt
ed.
If after the Act IS put into op-
GRAFTON elsewhere it proves ben
efcial it will then be time to have
the exemption Of this county re-
moved, but at present it would be
subjecting the people owning
lands close to that owned by the
great corporations to a heavy tax
alton against their wills.
The reference to the $4,000
appropriation for the South Car
olina Medical College which was
passed by the::assembly and ve-
toed by the governor, the records
should show that Clareudon's
senator voted originally, both in
committee, and in the senate
against this appropriation, the
reason for itwas, the medical col
lege is not a state institution, and
to appropriate money from the
public treasury to it, is a misap-
preparation Of the peoples taxes.
] he Legislature has no right to do
so, it is a violation of the consti-
tuition. The governor was abso-
lutely right in his veto. There is
no question about the sanitary
benefit drainage would be in our
lowlands, all agree if the owners
Of these lands could afford it
there would be a fine investment
for them but under this Act from
which twenty three counties are
exempted including Clarendon
the writer cannot see where he
would have been justified in put
ting his constituents in a position
where they might have the great
swamp land owners force them
into a taxation they are not as yet
willing to bear.
Who is it that has given Mr..
Cantey the information that the
senator from this county uses his
position to obstruct all good leg
islation certainly cannot be IN a
position to know the senator's
record. for if he has any record at
all in about ten years Of service
it is that of being conservative,
at the same time giving his sup.
port to those measures which ap-
peal to his judgment as in the in
terests Of the masses. He may
have in his long career made mis-
takes, who is it that is perfect:
hut the charge Of obstructlnS all
e,ooQ legislation is not borne out

The correspondence between
the governor and the county off,
cials relating to the matter Of
sending detectives to county to
enforce the liquor laws does not
show up very encouraging for
that class of citizens who are de-
sirous Of obtaining these posi-
tions. In nearly every instance
the sherifs and the supervisors
have informed the governor that
they can get along as well if not
better without them. So far as
Clarendon is concerned. we are
satisfied the employment of
sleuths to go over the county to
ferrit out sliquor sellers would
amount to but little more than
providing a soft job for some fe]-
low who does not want to make
his living by the sweat Of his
brow. There is some Illicit sell
ing of liquor in Clarendon but in
our opinion is very Slight COM
pared to the amount drank: near

stuff finds it cheaper and better

mond or Jacksonville, and with
the rapid transportation these
days he can gethis whiskey quick.
If there were some way to keep
the transportation companies
from hauling booze it would be
much easier to force people to
ride on the water wagon, but not
until then do we expect to see
the liquor drinking diminished in
this ssdrV" county.

IT IS ENDED.

Some of the newspapers of the
State have commented on the
Hub Evar's case being dismissed
at Newberry last week, a few
are disposed to criticise the
court for granting the mol pros,
and some are disposed to grum-
BILE because the Attorney Gen
eral did not press the case. Our
view Of this matter is: Attorney
General Lyon knows his bust
ness far better than some who
would question his acts, there is
no use TO waste the time Of a
court when circumstances over
which the States officers had no
control removed the most mater
ial evidence the State had to
offer. and until this evidence
can be supplied from some
other source not a thing towards
conviction can be done, there
fore, when the Attorney General
saw that he could not get IL
further continuance Of the case
there was nothing else to do but
to consent to mol pros and
leave the charge standing in a
condition so that it may be re-
newed should he feei justified in
doing SO. Had he gone on with
with the case the State could not
have produced evidence to war:
rant a jury in convicting, and
once set free, the case would
been at an end forever. We
doubt if the case will ever again
be brought before the courts.
