1t will be gratifying to the
farmers throughout the State to
learn that Mr.. E. J. Watson will
continue as Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture until his successor shall
have been elected and has quail
fed. When the bill to make this
Office elective by the people was
pending, the writer insisted that
an Objectionable provision be eli
minated from it because he was
assured that there was no foun
dation in the frequent rumors
that it was the governors pur-
pose to remove Mr.. Watson from
Office. But had the senate insist
ed upon keeping in this provision
the governor would have been
forced to remove Watson and ap-
point his successor. The COVER
uor's announcement that MIR.
Watson will retain the position
therefore is gratifying to the
writer, although he is not at all
surprised at the announcement.

IT DID PLAY POLITICS.

Notwithstanding the frequent
claims that the recent legislature
did not indulge in politics, a read
ing of the interviews from the
different members proves con-
clusively that ':checkmating the
governor played a most impor-
tant part in the long drawn out
proceedings. The State regards
a member who was disposed to
use his own Judgment, and not to
follow bliudIy the lead of others
"a devoted adherent of the gov.
ernor," but that newspaper is en-
tirely mistaken, there are some
of the members of the general as
sembly who never have support
ed the present governor when a
candidate for Office, but in their
capacity as a legislator support
ed him whenever they agreed
with bis conclusions in the mat
ter of vetoes, and these same
members were consistent in, that
on the committees and upon the
floor they made known their op.
position to a number of the meas
ures which the governor vetoed.
These same members stood by
what they considered proper,
took orders from no one, but
was it so with all of the others?
Lid not some of the others vote
against their judgment in order
to crafty a spite against the gov
ernor? Was not notice given on
the floor Of the senate when it
came to a vote to pass an item
over the vetoed, that this time
the member would vote to pass it
over the veto, but in the future
he would not do so? Did not a
senator say that if the senate ap-
proved of a certain veto sit would
look like the senate was endors-
ing the governor: Then if this
was the feeling which prompted
the majority. is there any Won
der that the impression is abroad
the legislature played politics:

EaoIe Stones and Luck.

Among the superst1tious the eagle
stone Is held in high esteem as lucky
charm. Thus one Of the richest men Ia
the world would probably turn aside
the question, If it were put to him, as
to how much Of bis great success, now
many Of his millions, were due to his
eagle stone. Yet for O quarter OF q
century, perhaps even more, that eagle
stone has reposed in pocket OF MS
trousers each business day. When
pondering over propositions that have
needed immediate decision this mag
nate has been seen to take out this
stone and pass it from one hand to the
other. It Is q genuine charm that
will keep away disaster, it Is SAID, and
gets its name from the fact that 1t
was found Ia an eagles nest Those
who know something Of the lore OF
superstttons say that II ribbon OF
some scrap Of fabric IS passed through
the hole which q perfect eagle stone
Is always supposed to contain the po-
tency Of the charm" Is much en-
hanced.-NeW York Sun.

DO THE PEOPLE WANT RURAL PoLIcEe

The has been so much talk
about the rural police system
within the past week, we wish
the county executive committee
when it arranges for the pri-
mary would provide a box
whereby the voters can express
themselves for or against hav-
ing the system in Clarendon.
This is a matter all Of the tax
payers are interested in, and it
would be a good idea to ascer-
tam whether or not the Repre-
sentatives should at the next
session Of the legislature pro
vide this system. The writer
opposed the passage of a bill at
the last session because he did
not think it necessary, and be-
cause he did not feel warranted
in imposing this on the ta2pay-
ers, and because further, the
powers given in the bill up for
consideration were, in his judg-
ment too great to be placed in
the hands of police. Since the
legislature adjourned he has
heard criticisms of his course,
and too, he has been commended
by good many for taking this po-
sition; it is the desire of Repre-
sentative to conform to the wishes
of the people, and as they have to
pay the taxes if they want the ru-
raj police system, it should be
made known so the Representa-
tiyes can act with some authority.
THE TINES would like, for pub
lication, to have the views OF
citizens from every section of the
county. Perhaps this would
bring from the executive COM
mittee the privilege Of a vote on
the subject.

Let this be a safe and a sane
political year should be the motto
Of every man in the State. The
politicians would have it cam
paign of excitement so that they
can appeal to all manner of pref
udice, but the people should pre-
vent these kind Of tactics by de-
manding of each man aspiring to
public position to show them his
merits regardless of the dement's
of his opponent. The man who
appeals to prejudice is not al
ways as safe as the one he de-
nounces, most Of this kind OF ar
gument can be characterized as
stuff with which to fool the
masses.

tI,. pulpit breaches against
it. and all good citizens deplore
it, but there are none to point
out q remedy for relief. Has
the intricacies of the law any
thing to do with the condition?
There is a spirit Of resentment
heard on all hands against the
techuicallitles the lawyers take
advantage Of to defeat justice.
but who is to say that a lawyer
should rot take the advantage
of anything which will benefit
his clients: The lawmaklng
bodies place law upon the
statute books. and the lawyers
and the courts construe 1t, be-
cause a lawyer finds, when en-
ployed to defend a man for crime
that the OMISSION Of word, on
the pnnction of an Act Will save
his client. is not that a part of
his duty to take advantage of?
Then how can the laws be made so
these advantages cannot be taken
and thereby prevent the defeat Of
Justice: Some say the lawmakers
Should be men learned in the
law, bat this Will not do, as
there is as great Il difference Of
opinion among the lawyers as
there is among laymen. The
only way we can see out Of the
problem, is for every man to ac-
cept the law as it is written. and
as good citizens frown down the
violations of the law.
Then too, there must be de.
mand for equality before the
law: to impose q severe sentence
upon some friendless individual
for small crime, and light
punishment upon those who
have influential connections
when convicted Of grave crime,
is one of the reasons the masses
lose the respect for the law they
should have. Whenever the
courts begin to treat all alike,
then in our opinion, the people
will grow towards having a
closer relation to the courts, and
feel that it is a necessary part
Of this government which all
must depend upon for safety.

THE POSTAL SYSTEM.

There IS much opposition to
the proposed Parcel Post Sys-
TEN that is being considered by
the United States government.
The American League Associa-
ton IS sending out matter for the
county press to publish in oppo-
sltion to this system. The asso.
ciation claims that with the inau
guration Of the system the retail
merchant will be greatly injured
thereby The parcel post is be-
ing urged by the great mail or
der concerns, and if they succeed
the merchant in cur towns and
villages will in the course of time
be a thing Of the past, because,
the mail order houses will be
able to sell for less; they do not
have to pay local taxes, licenses,
or be subjected to those matters
and things which go to keeping
up the schools, roads, courts and
the other demands upon the To-
cal merchant; they have no part
and parcel in the progress Of the
community, and so far as they
are concerned It would make no
difference if the local communi-
ties were to go to waste.
The opposition to the system
claim that the postal deficit will
be increased, the countrys COM
merclal system will be revolu-
tionized, the delivery of legiti
mate mail will be delayed, the
progress Of rural communities
will be depleted, and their prog
ress retarded. The system will
centralize the trade Of the coun-
try into a few persons. and N
stead Of it being help to the
farmer it viii be to his disadvan-
tage, and hostile to his Interests,
because the local merchant is his
medium of exchange where he
goes to dispose Of his products,
but with the retail trade center,
ed at Chicago or New York, he
VIII have no one to take his but
Ter and eggs. his truck which he
exchanges for coffee and sugar.

LATLESSEESS.

@le reader of newspapers
casaot help being impressed
With the growing tendency to-
wards lawlessnes throughout the
Union. There must be a cause
for this condition, what it is?
No two opinions agree, some
contend it is the laSity in enforc-
ing che laws Of the land, while
others claim it is because of the
tendency to magnify small
offenses; whatever the cause, the
fact remains that there is hardly
a day but what there is blood
letting. Officers of the courts
have been brutally shot down in
the discharge OF their duties,
men charged with crime have
been taken out Of the custody OF
the law and lynched, property
has been destroyed, and various
other crimes are being perpetrat-
ed daily. How can this be
checked: In our opinion it will
continue as long as there is such
a division of thought in the en-
forcment Of law; in order for
the law to be respected the peo-
pie must feel that they are not
being Disseminated against, and
that every man has an eGuai
showing in the courts.
At present there IS a wave CT
l:vlessness throughout the
land. it is not confined to any
particular State or locality The
press editorializes against it.

Tho Welsh Language.

The quite erroneous idea that Welsh
is q language Of consonants probably
arises from the number Of VS. 1t con-
tatns, according to Welshnan In the
London News. 'W" tn Welsh Is gen
eraIly-and always between two con-
sonants-a pure vowel, sounded Ike
100" in English. Thus "cwm" IS pro-
nouaced "koom," rhyming with
boom What is really one OF the
most remarkable features about the
Welsh language is the number OF VOW
els which can come together. In Eng
ltsh three vowels in success are not
often met with. In Welsh it Is not
uncommon to find four or f1Ve-e. g., ID
"llywiawdwr" (goyernor). Here eacn
Of the FIVE vowels "ywiaw" Is pro-
nounced separately in rapid succession.

although Republican, has al

that some of his subordinates
let a leak spring in the depart

to the cotton crop estimate. His
administration has done much
towards awakening the farmers
of the South to the need Of cult

DEFEAT PREDICTED
FOR HENRY MONEY
TRUST RESOLUTION
Underwood Faction to Lead
Fight for Substitute
In Caucus.

A defeat In caucus of the Henry reso-
luton to investigate the Money trust
by y special House committee, was con-
fidently predicted today by the so-called
Underwood faction In the House.
According to Mr.. Underwood. the eau
Gus will adopt a substitute for the
Henry resolution, which will provide
that the latter resolution shall be dig
sccted and Its various sections be dis
tc!buted among q half dozen standing
committees Of the House for action.
If this Is done, Mr.. Henry contends. 1t
means that there will be no real investi-
cation of the Money trust" for the
divided authority viii mean that the
Henry resolution will sleep III n half
dozen different pigeon-holes.
Mr.. Underwood, on the other hand.
takes the view that since the object
sought Is radical legislation, II should
be undertaken by the several commit
tees having Jurisdiction over the va
rious subjects mentioned In the Henry
resolution, and not by a special com
mittee.
Mr.. Iinderwoods substitute ,resolu-
tion which lie says lis certain to be
approved by the caucus" will provide
that the text Of the Henry resolution
shall be apportioned among the follow
ing House committees:
Banking and Currency. Interstate and
Foreign Commerce. Merchant Marine
and Fisheries, judiciary and Elections
