SUMMERTON.

The rains of Friday and Satur,
day had dual duty to perform,
namely, to revive the parched
and withered corn and likewise
the spirits Of our despondent
planters. Just how long it had
been since this community had
had what could be called a sood
rain, we do not know, but it was
sufficiently long to cause no little
axniety about the corn crop. Cot
tor, however, is satisfying the
most pessimIstic of its growers.
The rains of Saturday were &C
companied by a sharp electric
storm, whose thunderbolts claim

Summerton. About mile to the

EXPRESS MPANlES TO BE INVESTI-
GATED.

The interstate commerce COM
mission is to make an investiga-
tion of the express companies
doing an interstate business, and
we hope this Investigation will
be thorough, for If there is any
branch of the transportation SER
vice that imposes upon its pat
rons it is the express compa-
MES. Through this section of
the country the Southern Ex-
press Company has a monopoly,
not so at the North. in that sec
ton there are several companies
bat here with no competition,
and an apparent laxity on the
part of the railroad commission,
the patrons OF the company are
subjected to any rate the com
pany chose to impose. We are
glad there is a power which can
throw around the people some
protection. and is going to find
out whether or not the people
have just cause for their con-
slant complaints. The railroads
are severely criticized and
charged with all manner of
things but in our opinion they
are not a marker to the express
companies. The railroads do
aid in the country's development,
they encourage the building up
of towns ard the development
of the agricultural interests: and
whenever they can do 50 they
lend substantial help, as was re-

WAS THE CHANGE, NECESSARY !!

The recent school book adop,
ton is a heavy burden upon the
patrons of the public schools,
and it is the opinion of many
that many of the changes were
not at all necessary. There is
some difference of opinion as to
the character of the histories
but when it comes to a board
making a change of about 50 per
cent of the entire list Of text
books to be used in the public
schools it is a serious matter and
the people would like very much
to know a reason for it. The
State superintendent has given
out to the press that he protest
ed against these changes and he
was out.voted by the board, we
thought when the time came for
this adoption, the governor would
have stood by the superinten-
dent.to save the people this vast
amount of money which is going
to be taken needlessly from their
pockets. While we have a pro
found respect for the personnel
of the board we believe they
have exercised bad Judgment in
this matter, and when the gen
eral assembly meets We believe
it would be the part Of wisdom
to have a competent committee
to Investigate this very matter.
If those in authority are to have
the right to force people to such
heavy expense then it should be
right for the lawmakers to force
the board to give d good and
sufficient reason for the expense
which appears at this time al.
together unnecessary.

to violate the law need not lay
any uaction to their souls on &c

does not mean that people whose

mltted to take advantage of this
late decision to stock themselves
up with booze to demorallze
their communities. The law

We have not approved of the
many criticisms OF the acts of
Governor Blease, because many
of them were not justified, but IN
the pardoning of Wash Hunter
we must say that in our opinion
the governor has laid himself
liable to censure. Hunter was
his former client, all that attor-
uey Blease could do for him in
the courts was done: several
trials were had, the case was
reviewed by our State supreme
court. and finally the United
States supreme court was called
upon to interfere but the "on-
vjcting court was sustained all
the way through, and there was
nothing for Hunter to do but pay
the penalty for the crime he was
sentenced to serve. Governor
Blease stood by his client in the
courts he made a stubborn fight
to save him from the peniten-
titry, failing there, he pardons
and sets his client free, an act
which in our opinion he will
never be able to satisfy the law
abiding citizenship of the State
by explanation.
