Objecting to the mention of Mr..
Swearingen for governor, the Chester
Reporter declares that Mcleod is the
logical candidate to oppose Mr.. Blease
next summer 1t argues that Mr..
Featherstone having tried conclusions
with Mr. Blease and having been de-
feated it must necessarily follow that
Mr.. Mcleod would win. We are not
at all surprised at the argument, and
the Reporter is not alone in its conten-
tion. But we beg leave to suggest to
the Reporter that if it is more inter-
ested in the question of candidate
who can defeat Mr. Blease than it is in
the election of Mr.. Mcleod, it will do
we'll to select a new champion. The
golden rule is, DO unto others as you
would have them do unto YOU" The
rule of politics is to do unto others as
they do unto you. In spite of the
frame-up last summer, and without
organization, Mr.. Featherstone went
into the second primary with Mr..
bltdSt. mere - NSlN lIlllS ulllSlCINS
between the Blease platform and the
Mcleod platform. The principal diff
ference between the two men hinges
more on personality than any other
consideration. Mr.. Featherstone
through what he said and through
his record stood for the better and
more rigid enforcement of all laws and
more especially the prohibition laws.
Last summer many people who prefer
ed Mcleod To Blease in the first pri-
mary voted for Blease rather than
Featherstone in the second primary. 1t
was more because of what Feather
stone stood for than anything else.
Most of the people who supported
FeatherstOne last summer supported
him for what ne stands for. Among
them are many who can see little or no
difference between Mcleod and Blease
in so far as their politics are concern
ed. They do not think any more of
the golden rule than did the Mcleod
people who voted for BleaSe. If the
race comes between Mcleod and Blease
next summer. the Reporter will see af-

- Tannersville, New York, July 3:
To buy one hundred thousand acres
of land annually in Palestine in order
to establish colonies Of Jews was the
principal proposition of a practical
nature placed before the fourteenth
annual convention Of the Federation
Of American Zionists at its session to-
day. This proposition was made by
the National Fund commission. The
commission reported that in addition
to the thirty-eig agricultural colo
nes established in Palestine through
the efforts of Zionists, a residential
suburb for Artisans had been estab-
lished close to the Port of Jaffa. II
was recognized I'm the debate today
that the policy of the Young Turk
party, aiming towards the nationali-
zation Of the entire Turkish empire
and opposition by the autonomy OF
the various nationalities within the
empire was bound to delay the real
iZation of the Zionists purpose to Sc
cure a home for the Jews in Pales-
tine and that the movement would
have a better immediate prospect for
regaining the Jewish national soil II
the opposition should triumph. A
reason was adoption calling up
on the international Zionist con-
gress to maintain an attitude Of strict
neutrality towards the Turkish poll
tical parties In his report to the con-
vention Prof. Israel Fredlander chair
man OF the executive committee, made
this statement: Those who are In
position to compare Jewish condi-
tions in other lands are convinced
that America offers exceptional op-
portunities for the development of
Zionism. In no other country are
there so many Jews who combine the
genuine Jewishness and the intense
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1911-07-07

The esteemed Yorkville Enquirer, we
judge, is laboring under the delusion
that the reverse prohibition" law con-
tains a provision which is not in the
law; a provision forbidding the keep
ing Of liquor for personal use. Judge
Memminger read such provision into
the law, but the supreme court has
held that this Interpretation is clearly
erroneous, and while The Enquirer en-
tertains profound admiration for JUDGE
Memminger the fact is that what the
circuit Judge says, is the law. The au-
thors of the law would certainly not
agree with Judge Memminger's inter-
probation, and at least one of them has
so stated publicly. AS matter of fact
no legislature has ever attempted to
enact such drastic provision as Judge
Memminger declared the South Caro-
lima legislature had enacted, and no
legislature will do so.-Columbia Rec
ord.
If the Record will read again the
comments of The Enquirer on this SUBJ
ject, it will see that we stated very
clearly that no matter what the stat
ute says or means, the holding of the
supreme court is the law. AS to
whether The Enquirer is laboring un-
der the delusion that the statute con-
tains a provision that is really not
there, the statute itself is the best evil
dence. 1t will be found in the Acts Of
1907 We quote from this particular
act as follows:
On and after the approval of
this act, the manufacture, sale, barter,
exchange, receipt or acceptance for un-
lawful use, delivery, storage, and keep
ing in possession in this state, of any
spirituous, malt, vinous, fermented,
brewed (whether lager or rice beer),
or other liquors and beverages, or any
compound or mixture thereof which
contains alcohol and is used as a beV-
erage, is hereby prohibited; except in
the incorporated towns and cities of
this state, in counties wherein the
same may be permitted as hereafter
provided.
From the foregoing it appears that
the possession of liquor is prohibited
in every county in this state unless the
county qualities itself in accordance
with the subsequent provisions Of the
act. Sumter county, the county in
question, had not so qualified herself,
and therefore it seems to follow that
by the plain terms of the act the pos
session of liquor in Sumter county
was made unlawful.
AS we said in our first reference to
the matter, and as we have repeated,
no matter what the law said, and no
matter what Judge Memminger said,
what the supreme court has said is
now the law; but We submit that when
the Record claims that the disputed
provision was not in the law; that
Judge Memminger wrote it there, the
Record was mistaken. The act from
which we quote is No. 226, Of the year
1907

WITHIN THE TOWN.

- Folks who desire to buy the very
best of dry goods and notions at very
low prices, are reminded of the fact
that now Is their opportunity.
- The mosquitoes have begun to sing
and bite a little. There are not many
yet; but there is evidence that all
these insects are not dead.
- There are very few people in York
vile who can say that they have ever
done as much for the town as the town
has done for them. We do not know
Of any.
A petition Is in circulation among
the freeholders calling for an election
on the question Of issuing $4,000 of ad-
ditional bonds for the purpose Of ex-
tending the water mains.
The children of the Church Home
Orphanage, SO in number, were treat
ed to a picnic at Sutton's Spring last
Tuesday and had a most enjoyable
day. The children were taken to and
from the picnic ground in automo-
biles.
Local negroes are soliciting sub
scriptions to fund to be used for the
purpose Of giving big dinner in York
vile in about two weeks to ex-slaves,
who live In York county. There have
been quite a number of subscriptions
to the fund; but the subscriptions are
quite small.
There was a meeting of the stock
holders of the Yorkville Creamery as
ISOLATION yesterday for the purpose Of
considering the question Of increasing
the capital stock, but because of the
fact that the necessary two-thirds of
the capital stock was not represented
In person or by proxy, the meeting
took a recess for week, when an
other meeting will be held.
- Practically all places of business
in Yorkville were closed on July 4, in
accordance with custom. Some Of the
people went away to Gaffney and other
towns; but many remained at home.
The principal attraction 80 far as the
whites were concerned were two games
Of baseball between Fort Mill and
Yorkville, one in the morning and the
other in the afternoon. The coiored
people had a big picnic, baseball and
good time generally. The day pass
ed off quietly without unnecessary dis
order.
- The following girls from different
parts of the county presented them
selves at the graded school auditorium

ter the votes have been counted that
the prohibition people will have said:
You would not let us have what we
wanted after we had fairly whipped
the fight up to the second primary.
Rather than allow us to have Feather
stone you voted for Blease. Now you
wanted Mcleod, but you didn't get
him, goody" This does not sound
good at all, but if the Reporter does
not believe it is politics all we have to
say Is to suggest that it just wait.
