GIVE THE PUBLIC THE FACTS.

The Yorkville Enquirer US
ually one Of the sanest and con-
servative newspapers in the
State. says it "does not assert
that anobody has received a
rake-off in connection with the
school book deal. It does as
sert however, that if it had had
the matter in charge, it could
have gotten a big rake.of for
itself with out increasing the
present cost of books to the
Children" This is not the first
intimation made of corruption
in the matter of the school books
it has caused a good many peo.
pie to wonder why the authori-
ties were so anxious to foist the
new adoption upon the State.
However, those who are in a
position to know something Of
the methods of the publishing
houses should by all means put
their information at the disposal
Of the general assembly 50 the
school book contracts can be
investigated. We have heard it
said that if the facts were known
the scandal that would come out
of the school books would be a
fitting companion for the late
but not lamented dispensary, but
we have never taken any stock
IN the corruption theory, at the
same time, when newspaper
of the reputation Of the En-
qu;rer makes the statement that
it could have gotten a rake-of

BLUFFS WILL NOT GO.

The coming session of the leg
islature will be featureless unless
those who are framing things up
for campaign material for the
primary next summer carry out
their threats. We are told
that there is a movement on
foot to secure an Investigating
committee to take up the hints
at charges made by the notorious
lawyer from Atlanta, against the
governor of this State, and if
this is done we look for a whole
lot of political muddling to con-
fuse the minds of the people in
order that they will have a sus-
picion of wrong-doing against
Governor Blease to the extent
that they will vote against him
in the primary, but with no ex-
pectation Of securing a convlc-
ton. The opponents of the gov
ernor may have evidence which
has not been made public that
will loosen his popularity with
the masses, but unless they show
convincing proof of corruption
their efforts will be a boomerang
and have him reelected by the
largest majority ever given to a
governor in this State. There is
only one way we can see to bring
on an investigation of the Cover
nor's acts, and that is through
impeachment proceedings, Il
Governor Blease is required to
answer to impeachment proceed
ings his accusers had better have
the most convincing proof, but if
they have not got this they will
fare better by letting him alone
and go before the people on the
record he has made in the execu-
tive office.

PUT UP OR SHUT Up.

T. B. Fielder OF Atlanta has
again promised to furnish the
proof that South Carolina's gov
ernor is a crook. Mr.. Fielder
seems to be an expert promiser,
but up to date he has not dellv-
cred the goods. If Fielder
waits until the campaign gets
started next summer to furnish
what he alleges the proof, it Will
be construed by the masses as
manufactured for the campaign,
and it will be Ineffective; II
there is any proof that Governor
Blease has been corrupt those
having the evidence should
bring it forward before the ex-
element Of a political contest
sets in, and unless they do so,
they may as we'll hold their
peace. The people of South
Carolina may be depended upon
to smash a political idol II
wrong doing is proven on him,
at the same time: they will not be
parties to an injustice for the
qualification Of spleen, nor will
they be misled by a conspiracy.
Col. Fielder has had plenty OF
time to carry out his promise OF
exposure, up to now he has
tailed to do more than to keep
himself in the limelight with his
boastful threats and promises.
He should make good or get off
the grass.

The Anderson Mail suggests
to the Charleston newspapers as
q means to kill out the racing
game they use the silent treat
ment. a racing meet without
publicity might be handicapped,
but we doubt Charleston &C
cepting the suggestion, as the
sporting page Of 8 metropolitan
journal is one Of its strong
features. It however, the 81
lent treatment can kill off the
racing scheme. it seems to us
the same treatment might apply
to the liquor houses that adver-
tise freely in the newspapers OF
this State, and as a result, even
the prohibition counties give
them a large patronage.

A WEAK DEFENSE.

According to the Newberry
Observer it does not expect the
prohibition laws to be enforced
:'under the circumstances" and
asks the question, "Is there any
effort to make OF help it pro-
hibit?:" 1t then hits back with
the childish retort: that proLlbi-
ton is being as well enforced in
prohibition counties as in the
dispensary counties. The OBJ
server is strong prohibltionist,
and it was one Of those that
promised an enforcement Of pro-
hibitlon. now that it has it, the
counties where dispensaries are
established are taken as model
for law enforcement. We had
hoped that it could be shown
under prohibition the consump-
ton Of liquor has greatly de-
creased, and that the laws of the
land are being more respected as
a result, but when an ardent pro-
hibitionist says the law is being
enforced as well in prohibition
counties as where liquor is legal
~ sold it strikes US of an admis-
sion that prohibition is a failure.
In this county we believe, the
consumption of liquor has de-
creased to some extent, but
whether the decrease has been
sufficient to warrant the loss OF
revenue we are not prepared to
say, we do know however, that
many in this county are not at
all satisfied with the present con-
ditions and if they are given the
opportunity they will vote to le-
galize the sale Of liquor. So far
as blind tigers are concerned,
they are not so prevalent in this
county as would be supposed,
but the mail order houses are do
ing a thriving business, and it is
increasing; it is because Of the
easy manner of obtaining liquor
from abroad that the quantity OF
liquor used is increasing. while
perhaps the blind tigers are on
the decrease. But the promise
of curtailing drink has not ma
terialized to any great extent,
except in the summer when
money is scarce.

The estimated cotton cOnsump
ton is 20, 0U0, 900 bales, so says the
figures madeup from the consular
reports to this government, and
yet the price continues to hang
around eight cents. The crop es-
innate does not exceed l4.Q0Q,-
600. We must believe there is
going to be better prices after the
if the troubles IN China
are settled this year the demand

Perhaps the Maine election is
at last settled, and the constitu-
tion Of that State will retain its
prohibition feature. Governor
Plaisted and his council met
Monday night, and reversed the
results indicated on the returns.
This may mean an appeal to the
courts, or it may mean another
hard fght to wipe tie prohibi,
ton provision from the funda
mental law; at any rate the mat
ter is settled for the present.
