"Where Docs il Stand? 2"

The Yorkville Enquirer comments
in it's last issue on an article Of MY
dear Appelt," in his paper. the Man
ming Times, and makes some strange
observations. No one Is ever at loss
to know where to place Appelt-al-
ways on the wrong side, Of course. He
will be for Blease for governor, but
where does The Yorkville Enquirer
stand, for Jones or for Blease? From
its utterances 1t would appear that 1t
Is on the fence. 1t says there are
thousands Of Prohibitionists who are
as likely to vote for Blease or Jones
as they are to scratch both Of them,
and up to this time we have been un-
able to discover where or why we
hould be any more enthused as be-
tween Blease or Jones. The triumph
of either would be the triumph Of a
faction" etc.
Is 1t possible that this Is to be the
attitude Of a paper with the best me-
chanical "get up" Of any in the state
and which circulates among such
high minded and patriotic citizens as
those Of the White Rose county?
With Blease's record as governor be-
fore 1t, can The Enquirer longer halt
between two opinions? Because It Is
for prohibition and cannot get what
1t wants. will it fail to advise its read
ers on the men and issues involved in
one Of the greatest crises through
which the state has ever passed and
serenely assume an attitude Of SUI
preme Indifference? Oh, no, we can't
believe it.-Lancaster News.
The article published in The Enqui-
rer explained itself just as fully as
was intended. 1t was nothing more
or less than a repetition of a view
that was expressed before the candi-
dacy Of Judge Jones was thought Of
certainly before there was any pub
lie intimation Of that candidacy So
far as Mr.. Applet Is concerned, we
presume that he can take care of him
self. At any rate he has not asked us
to assume any responsibility for his
views and we will assume none. So
far as The Enquirer is concerned. 1t
is not halting between two opinions
1t has but one opinion on the situa-
ton as 1t now stands; but 1t does not
feel called upon to give expression to
that opinion for several reasons. One
of them Is that we do not consider
ourselves in any wise responsible for
either Governor Blease or Judge Jones
and we cannot offer advice in case
where we have no especial heart or
enthusiasm. Maybe conditions might
change for the better. II so. we'll and
good. If not, we will try to do With
them the best we can as they are. The
suggestion that The Enquirer circu-
lates among a high minded and pa
triotic people, is happy one, for 1t
is true; but The Enquirer has never
tried to drive, bluff or bulldoze these
people, and 1t is not going to COM
mence now. So far as we are aware,
most Of our readers ask to be shown
rather than told, and If the News de-
sires their sympathy 1t had better
keep this hint in mind in all 1t says.

makers. We believe that the effect
of the spell" will be the same as II
has been in Columbia, and, II the op-
portunity presents in North Carolina
next winter, the result will not be any
different. BY that time, If not before
the tide of the new idea will have
gathered irresistible force. and the
combined power of its enemies will not
be able to stay it for a moment.
In the meantime South Carolina IL
committed. In spite of the fact tina,
there was no great row over the pas
sage of such an important measure by
such an overwhelming majority, nc
man need suggest that 1t was done
without due consideration. Those
members who voted for the bill did sc
because they knew the real sentiments
of their constituents, and even If they
had been opposed for other than vel
defined principles, they would moi
have dared vote otherwise. Therefore
it Is up to all patriotic people to stand
together in the honest, earnest and in
telligent administration Of this new
law. Gentlemen of the general assem-
bly,, South Carolina still has no deartf
Of high minded, able men, and 1t IL
up to you to put them on guard.

That is an interesting and valuable
sketch of Beth-Shiloh church that Is
published elsewhere in this issue. The
writer, the late W. j. Bowen, was
born in the Clay Hill neighborhood of
York county in 1919, and who was
reared in the neighborhood, was prob
ably the only man Of his day who
could have given an accurate sketch
of Beth-Shiloh. It would be interest
ing to continue the history Of Beth
Shiloh up to the present time; but
that Is a matter about which there
can be no great difficulty, at least un-
til some time in the future. There are
many men now living who can take
up the record from the point where
Mr.. Bowen left off. 1t is probably un-
necessary to suggest to the members
Of the Beth-Shiloh congregation that
it will be worth while to preserve to-
days issue of The Enquirer on ac-
count Of this sketch, for as interesting
as the sketch Is now 1t may some day
be far more valuable.

Senator Young Of Union, has intro
duced a resolution to authorize the
governor to pardon w. T. Jones, con-
victed of wife murder and sentenced
to the penitentiary for life. AS to
whether the senator is joking or not,
we do not know; but quite certain 1t
is that there is no necessity for such
resolution. The governor has full
power to pardon Jones if he desires
to do so, and the general assembly has
nothing whatever to do with the mat
ter. The passage of such resolution
would be entirely gratuitous.

The Warehouse Bill.

With less turmoil and confusion than
is usually involved in the consideration
of a bill to tax the yellow dog, or to
establish a closed season for the hunt
ing of o'possum, the South Carolina
general assembly has, in so far as 1t
is able, enacted into law measure,
the importance of which Is to be COM
pared to no other legislation that has
been accomplished in the history Of the
state or Of the nation.
The reference here Is to the state
warehouse bill. AS we see it, the pas
sage of this bill marks new era, not
only in state politics but in the sci
ence of government. On the theory
that "the hair Of the dog is good for
the bite" this bill proposes, by the
power of the government, to check
monopolies by creating counter monop-
olies, and through those counter mon-
opolies force an equitable division OF
profits all along the line.
To say that the theory Of the bill
is a new one would be incorrect, for
it has been gathering force In this
years. 1t Is the same principle that
has been taught by the grange, alli-
ance, Farmers Union, labor unions and
kindred organizations for all these
years; but the bill is none the less
important on that account, especially
since this is the first practical embod-
iment of those theories into the law
of a sovereign state.
AS we see it, the enactment of this
law Is only the first step in a new or
der of things. The experiment is well
calculated to attract the attention OF
the civilized world, and its success will
mean much, not only to the south. but
to the whole United States. In view
Of this situation everything depends
upon the administration of the law. To
make the most Of this undertaking
calls for abilities such as are required
for the management of a great rail-
road system, or say, the steel trust
and the responsibility of the general
assembly is now narrowed down to
the one all-important matter of Sc
curing the very best brains of the state
to take charge.
Historically there is a fitness in the
leadership of South Carolina, and
this brings to mind the man whose
constructive genius formulated this
new movement of the masses, Hon.
John L. McLaurin of Bennettsville
Ever an interesting figure, whether as
Curly headed Johnny" In the early
days of the Tillman movement or in
maturer manhood going down in de-
feat, crushed and humiliated. If the
ideas to which he has given expression
do not make him factor, not only In
the state but in the nation, then we
misread the signs of the times. AL
ways a student, always far in advance
of public thought; dreamer, maybe,
but nevertheless endowed with that
practical Scotch strain that infallibly
devises plans to make dreams reali-
ties, we are led to wonder If South
Carolina is not again to contribute to
the nation a constructive statesman
ship that will atone for the petty poll
tics and miserable squabbles which,
during the past fifteen years. have rem
cred her so ridiculous. not to say con-
temptible.
Georgia's legislature meets in July,
and since this potent principle has
been as firmly rooted over there as
here, we hope that Mr.. McLaurin will
be invited to address. the Georgia law

Although there has been very little
discussion of the state warehouse bill
in the newspapers, we have noted an
objection to the effect that the scheme
savors too much of the state dispen-
sary system. We are not at all I'M
pressed with such a suggestion, how
ever. Even the authors Of the dis
pensary law recognized that its sue
cess was impossible except in the
hands Of men of unquestionable char
acter and of the finest business ca.
pacity. The main point Of difference
between the promoters Of the dispen-
sary idea and the people generally lay
in the question as to whether 1t was
possible to secure the service Of such
men. The dispensary promoters
thought yes and the people generally
thought no. The people generally
were right The kind Of men neces-
sary to the success Of the dispensary
would have nothing to do with II
either as managers or patrons. Some
of them may have been patrons at
times; but at those times they were
disqualified as to requirements. But
the conditions surrounding the ware
house idea are different. TIC the state
warehouses Is to be committed the
fruits of the intelligence and toll OF
all kinds of people. including the best
and most intelligent there is In the
state. We have Scriptural authority
for it that where mans treasure Is
there Is his heart also. There are
more legal safeguards around the
banking systems Of this country than
there are around any other business
These legal safeguards are important;
but they are not nearly so important
or effective as the fact that every de-
positor in bank Is at all times keep
ing tab on the character, habits and
movements Of those who have charge
of his money. The same principle will
apply to state warehouse manage
ment with even greater force. What
the general assembly needs to do now,
therefore, Is to put the system In
charge of the right kind Of men-men
of large affairs, men Of brains and
patriotism. The all important thing
Is that this splendid idea does not fall
through improper or incompetent adj
ministration.

According to carefully compiled
statistics by high authorities, the ex-
pense of taking a bale Of cotton from
the ginner to the spinner averages
about 81. The proper administration
of the state warehouse idea should
reduce this expense to $3.50 or 50. and
all the difference should eventually be
saved to the producer. But Of course
no one could reasonably expect that
such a change could be brought about
at once, or even at all until the sys-
tenn takes in a majority of the cotton
growing states.

If the dispatches are to be believed
the financial sharks in Wall street
when they heard that Chas. w. Morse
was on his way back. were made to
feel very much like King John fell
when he received that message from
the German king announcing that
"the devil (Richard) is loose" There
is very good reason to believe that the
conviction of Morse was the result OF
a conspiracy among rival financial op-
orators. OF course it is not to be un-
derstood that Morse suffered unjustly;
but merely that there was no more
reason why he should have been con-
victed than why scores Of others
should have been convicted. He is no
better and no worse than the others

whether there is any good ground for

to be seen. One version Is that Morse
