WHO is RESPONSIBLE?

One of the most active workers OF
the Civic League assures us that the
business men of Bryan, and not the
country people are chiefly responsible
for the litter and dirt in the business
streets. A committee of the league has
made an exhaustive canvass OF the
business district, making personal ap-
peals to every one of the business men,
and has secured promises that banana
peels, vegetable refuse, waste paper
and other trash should not be swept
into the street, and yet this is done
every day.
The lady who made this statement
seemed very much discouraged, and 1t
is no wonder. She has labored indus
triously and perseveringly for the pub
lie good without hope of reward, eX-
cept the satisfaction which unselfish
efforts for good always bring; and to
find that these efforts meet with so
little appreciation by those most inter
ested is enough to discourage even the
bravest and strongest.
We can not believe that the business
men of Bryan deliberately and will
fully break promise which they have
made. Perhaps they understand that
the promise was not binding until the
trash barrels are installed Or it may
be thoughtlessness or carelessness.
They may have forgotten to instruct
their porters, or whoever does the
sweeping, to put the trash in barrels
or boxes.
The lady said that some of the mer-
chants claimed that it is the duty Of
the city to have scavengers to gather
up the trash out of the streets and
gutters-they paid their taxes and that
was all they were under obligation to
do. Suppose this were true according
to the letter of the law, is it morally
right? Is the citizen under no obliga-
tion to do for the public more than the
law requires? But in the exercise of
its police powers, the city government
certainly has the right to require ev-
erybody, including business men, to
keep their premises clean, and a fail
ure to do this is an evidence of weak
ness in the administration.
But it is to be hoped there are no
Shylocks among the business men of
Bryan, who will stand on their legal
rights in opposition to the public good.
We pity the man who hasn't soul
enough to appreciate the efforts Of
these good women. Such a one has no
right to be considered a good citizen,
no matter how much money he may
have or how much business he may
do. Every true man should feel called
upon to rally to the support of the
Civic League workers, for if they be-

THE PROPOSED BRAzos FAIR.

The organization of fair associa-
ton for Brazos county was a most i'm
portant subject of discussion at the
meeting of the board of directors of
the Commercial Club last Tuesday
A number of representatives
of the Dellwood Driving and Auto Club
appeared at this meeting and SUBJ
mitted what is believed to be a most
liberal proposition to the club, and the
matter was Immediately taken up by
the directors. A committee was APP
pointed to take steps toward organiza-
ton of an association and to report to
the directors at their meeting next
week.
There has never been in Brazos
county a better advertisement of its
resources and a greater encourage.
ment of good stock and better agricul-
ture than the fair which was main
tanned here few years ago. 1t was
the greatest thing of the kind that
Brazos county has ever seen, and now
that it is possible to re-establish it.,
why not take this opportunity and
push the project to a successful issue.
The Driving Club and Mr.. o. E. Gam
mil agree to furnish the grounds, a
half-mile race track, grandstand, barns,
etc, free of charge to the association,
leaving only the premium list, adver-
Using and incidental expenses. The
committee appointed is hard at work
on the proposition and by the end of
next week will have the matter in
such shape as to make favorable re-
port to the directors.
The support of every citizen should
be enlisted to make it a great success
and have the first annual fair during
the coming October.

The farmers of Texas have not only
learned better methods of cultivating
the soil. but they havelearned how
to Increase values of farm products by
better methods of feeding and market

agricultural conditions is due largely
to our state department of agricul-

Of persons and corporations II other
matters, the present crisis would not
have come. The legislature at its
regular session, should pass laws
which would aid the farmer in every
way possible, and 1 shall ask them to
do so, as asked them to do at the last
session, when they forced such an out
rageous appropriation bill upon the
people, and I expect now the people
see who was right-the members OF
the general assembly, in passing such
an appropriation bill, or myself, for
vetoing so much Of it, particularly
when I stated to them that they were
spending 100000 more than they
were collecting in taxes, which was
bad judgment, and that in case of a
crisis the State would be in a pitiful
condition, with no money on hand and
unable to borrow. Certain members
of The general assembly laughed at
the proposition Of a crisis; boasted Of
our prosperity and Of our abundance
Of supplies, and said: ''Ah! Go ahead,
the people are rich and the State is
rich" What do you suppose the peo-
pie think of these legislators today,
expending half a million dollars more
than they made levy to collect? I do
not claim to be a prophet, but I do
claim to have foreseen in part just
what we are up against right now, and
I am proud to say that enough men
in the legislature stayed through the
last hour and stood by ne like true
South Carolinians and saved the peo-
pie of the State many thousands Of
dollars.
The cotton mill mergers, in my
opinion, were gotten up 10 do just
what they have done; cut down the
price of cotton, and to better control
the price of labor. 1t is carrying out
the purpose for which it was organ
lied. Silence was maintained and
nothing done until I spoke in no un-
certain terms in the newspapers. The
officers Of our State, whose duty 1t
was to take charge Of such matters,
ignored my suggestions, and they and
you see the result
OF course, I can not tell yet what
may come or what demand may be
made, but as I see matters at present.
I would not be justified in putting the
people of the State to the expense OF
an extra session Of the general assem-
bly,. Very respectfully,
Cole. L. B1ease,
Governor.

MARLBORO ASKS EXTRA SESSION.
State Cotton Warehouse Plan Urged
Upon Lawmakers-Gov. Blease
Declines to Call Session.

Bennettsvile, Nov. 6.-Quite rep
resentative body of the business men,
bankers, merchants and planters, in
cluding Marlboro's house delegation,
assembled in the court house this
morning to discuss the feasibility of
what is known as the Louisiana
plan," which has for its object the en-
thancing of the value Of tho cotton crop
of the South, and which mas been very
ably and enthusiastically discussed in
the papers by the Hon. John l.. Nc
Laurin. The Hon. Don Mcqueen was
%called to the chair and Mr.. D. NJ. D.
Mcleod was chosen secretary.
McLaurin Explains Plan.
The chairman called upon the Hon.
J. L. McLaurin to state the object OF
the meeting, he being just back from
New Orleans, in attendance on the
governors convention, and Mr.. Nc
Laurin discussed and explained, to the
entire satisfaction Of every hearer in
attendance, the merits of such
course. The enthusiasm attendant
was very marked, indeed, and the
presentation Of the object in view
WAS so able and plain that every one
bresent is thoroughly convinced that
4 start, indeed, has been made that
forever solves the complex question of
cotton holding and cotton marketing.
Mr.. Charles Crosland, after brief
and logical statement, presented for
the consideration of the assembly the
following resolutions, which were un-
animously adopted:
The Resolutions.
Resolved, by the people of MARI
boro county, in convention assembled,
that his excellency, the governor of
the State, be requested to call the
general assembly together in extra
! session, and that the session be made
the regular session, TO do all bust
ness for the State, and that the ques-
ton of State building, purchase and
control of cotton warehouses be set
tied at the earliest day possible.
, =, The second resolution was:
Resolved, by the people of Marlboro
county, and especially the cotton grow
ers, in convention assembled, that our
members of the general assembly, at
heir earliest opportunity, cause an
ct to be passed requiring all cotton
i'd in open market, and all cotton
: the time of being placed in. ware
buses to be accurately graded by an
pert grader, satisfactory to seller as
: ell as buyer, and that the fee for
:, ,me shall be fixed by legislation and
made compulsory to all alike"
On motion Of Mr.. E. W. Evans, the
. chair appointed the present members
of the general assembly from Marl-
=saego, with the Hon. John L. McLaurin
an Mr.. Charles, Crosland a special
committee, to call on the governor, in
Columbia, >at the earliest date posi-
BILE, and urge action On his part to
further and aid in the carrying out of
the plans above suggested. The peo-
ole of Marlboro are very hopeful that
)khe right and correct course has been
found and solved, and would especially
furge that all the other counties. in

LICENSED SALOONS
OPEN IN PENDLETON

Today is the first day Of real legi-
innate wetness Pendleton has enjoyed
for two and a half years. This morn
ing at o'clock IL saloons on Main
and Court street opened up for busi-
ness and the bartenders have been
kept busy ever since passing out de-
coctions of fermented spirits. Because
OF the fact that this is a holiday and
because there are many men off duty,
the patronage of the saloons has been
large one which the proprietors of
the establishments believe is propi-
tious.
The new ordinance went into effect
yesterday but did not become effective
until today which paradox is explain
ed by the fact that the first fell on
Sunday, on which day It is against the
law to sell liquor. Despite the pro-
vision which forbids any one from
entering a saloon on Sunday, most of
the establishments presented busy
scenes yesterday. a special dispensa-
tion from the authorities allowing car
penters to continue their work in or
der that all might be in readiness for
the formal opening this morning.

FAMOUS DETECTIVE
BILL CASE ENDS

In an opinion handed down Satur-
day by Associate Justice Mcbride of
the state supreme court, the famous
detective bill case which was appealed
from this county was affirmed. This
case was one which was instituted
against County Clerk Frank Sailing,
County Treasurer G. w. Bradley and
the Thiel detective agency and in
volved the right of the county to pay
for the services of detective in Sc
curing evidence against violators of
the local option law. Charles Cum
ningham and A. F. Michael were
named as the appellants but they
were merely acting FOR a large num-
Der of men who were interested in
preventing the employing of such a
man
The plaintiffs alleged as grounds for
their suit that the county had no
hight according to law to incur this
$500 expense as the maximum of vol
untary Indebtedness had already been
reached. The county, however, con-
tended that the bill was an involun-
tary Indebtedness in which conten-

this decision which the supreme court
has just affirmed.
In the meantime, however, the bill
had been paid, and If the decision had
been reversed. District Attorney
Phelps or some other person would
have had to reimburse the county.
1t is a peculiar coincidence of the
case. that after being in the courts
for nearly two years. the final decision
giving the county the right to employ
detectives to enforce the local option
law. was handed down on the very
last day in which the local option law
was in effect. And, thus. perhaps,
the plaintiffs gained a victory after
all, for they effectively tied the hands
Of the officers when they most need
ed their full freedom.

less of alarm that may be felt at
Washington over trouble with Japan.
the 30th' session of the California leg
islature which will convene at noon
today, will be asked to enact laws
prohibiting Japanese from owning or
controlling property in this state un-
der long term leases. The last legis-
lature attempted to pass anti-alien
ownership laws, but interference from
President Roosevelt discouraged the
legislature.
This time the lawmakers say there
will be no stop to the contemplated
legislation, They threaten to make II
impossible for the Japanese to hold
business and farm property in Cali
fornia.
Members of the California legisla-
ture contend that the people OF the
state are demanding anti-Japanese
legislation not alone in the ownership
of land but segregation OF the white
and japanese children in the public
schools.
Both Of these discriminating meas
ures have aroused the Japanese in
this country and at home to ardent
protest. They are not anxious to
talk about the possibility of interna-
tional complications. yet insist that
their government will see to it that
they are not deprived of what they
declare are their legal rights.
Since the anti-Japanese agitation at
the last session of the legislature, it
has been learned by the state author
tiles that Japan regards with anxiety
the effect of such laws as are con-
templated. An important official of
the Japanese government made the
statement two years ago that such
action might arouse the common peo-
pie in Japan in way that would
prove embarrassing to both nations.
Aside from the japanese legisla-
tion the session is expected to devel-
op many interesting situations. The
legislature is in control of the pro-
gressives who are pledged to break
up the so-called machine.
A program of progressive measures
has been planned. Bills to be pre-
sented include a public utilities COM
mission, the short ballot, nom par
tisan judiciary and constitutional am
endments for equal suffrage and per-
mitting commission governments in
cities.

A Pan-American commercial con-
ference, more practical and compre-
hensive than any trade gathering
ever assembled in the national capi-
tai. will be held during the week of
February 1919 1911, under the
auspices of the Pan-American Union,
formerly known as the Bureau of
American Republics, in the auditori-
um of the new building of the Union,
Washington, d. c. Its purpose and
plan. as announced by Director Gen.
eral John Barrett, will be that of
awakening the commercial organiza-
tions, representative business men
and general public OF both North
and South America to an appreciation
of the possibilities of Pan-American
commerce and the necessity of pre-
pairing for the opening of the Panama
canal.
Through the cooperation of the
Department of State. diplomatic and
consular officers of tie United States
accredited to Latin America. either
home on leave or detailed for this
purpose, will deliver addresses de-
scribing trade conditions and oppor-
tunities based upon their official in
vestigations end observations. The
diplomatic and consular officers of
the twenty latin American nations ac-
credited to the United states will, on
the other hand, be invited to discuss
the subject from the standpoint of
their countries, particularly with re-
ference to the exchange of commerce
and the extension of the market for
their products in the United States.
The practical side of the meeting is
further shown in the fact that the
best export and import trade experts,
both official and private, aside from
diplomatic and consular officers, will
give talks on those particular sub
jects which manufacturers, exporters
and importers not yet familiar with
the field wish to hear discussed.
1t will have a novel feature in that
il will consider the exchange of
trade-imports as well as exports
and the opportunities not only of the
United States to extend the sale of its
products in Latin America but of
Latin America to sell its products to
the United States, for only upon the
basis of reciprocal exchange of trade

Pendleton finishes the year 1910
with a deficiency in precipitation of
but .02 of an inch, according to the
records of the local weather observer
This is the best record for three years.
The total precipitation for the year
ending December 81 was 14.06 inch

tation is 14.0S inches.
The deficiency was due to the long
drought during the summer, for the
excess precipitation for the four
months of the present wet season IS
more than an inch and half. This.
too, despite the fact that September,
the first month of the wet season,
had a deficiency of 10 of an inch.
The records also show that the
snowfall for the year amounted to IS
inches. All but three inches of this
came during January and February,
since there has only been three inches
OF snow so far this winter.
During the year there were 1856
