SOMETHING AHEAD.

pOLITICS is mixed a trife;
There is something in the air.
NO one knows where we are going,
But it seems to be somewhere.
Some insist we are advancing.
Others see the course downhil.
But from each is the conclusion
That we are not standing still.
There are busy social forces
That are pushing at the cart,
Giving it in some direction,
Up or down, a mighty start.
1t we look upon the movement
AS the right one or the wrong,
"a makes very little difference.
We have got to go along.
So you see the people trying
On the future light to shed.
Is 1t chaos. is it progress,
That is looming just ahead?
They can see a change is coming
By the lightning through express.
But Its kind or size or measure
That is more than they can guess.
Calm your fears and cease your worry.
Things may look a trifle blue,
Clouds may lack their silver lining,
But the country will pull through.
While we know that we are drifting.
Where is quite beyond our ken,
But we've stormed some nasty weather,
And We'll do it once again.

TIE HOSIERY MILL.

Speaking Of the hosiery mill at the
penitentiary and of the criticisms OF
the Anderson Mail and other news
papers of the position of the State
board of health, we do not think it
would be amiss to quote from pri-
vate letter received by the editor Of
The Herald and News from the chair
man of the State board Of health. Re-
ferring to some Of the comments of
the newspapers, the chairman says II
they would take the trouble to look
up the records they would find that
the board of health has been trying
to attract attention to the sanitary
defects of the penitentiary for a good
many years. With regard to the hosi-
cry mill, our poSltlon seems TO De
generally misunderstood. We have at
no time charged uncleanliness. The
difficulty is with the kind of work.
It is unwholesome under the most
favorable circumstances, and with the
conditions incident to prison life and
with the class of men and women who
constitute the prison community, it
is trebIy unwholesome. From our point
of view, it is practically impossible to
make the work altogether desirable,
no matter what is done'

"NOT so MUCH THE GOVERNORS
JOB.o

While we frankly confess that we
feared the contrary, we feel it our
duty to acknowledge that the prohibi-
ton laws, up to this time, have been
enforced as we'll in York county by
Governor Blease as by Governor An
sci. There is not nearly so much blind
tigering in Yorkville today as there
has been in times past, and from the
best information obtainable we do not
think the condition has grown any
worse in any other part of the coun-
ty.-Yorkville Enquirer
After all the responsibility for the
enforcement of the prohibition laws
does not rest so much upon the gov
ernor as upon the local authorities
If local authorities have the nerve
and the inclination they may enforce
these laws and make blind tigering
a hazardous occupation. Where the
blind tiger and the boot-legger over
run a city, almost to the point Of put
ting the express companies out Of
business, the officers are mighty APT
to be either crooked or coWardly
And officers can't fool the people ali
the time The public know the tigers
just about as we'll as the officers do
Spartanburg Herald
If the law against the sale of Whis-
key and blind tigering in the various
communities is violated the governor
is held responsible for the laWlessness
of the community. If the law is en-
forced and there is decrease in the
sale of whiskey, the governor is not
due any credit for it, but it is mat
ter entirely in the hands of the local
officers. This seems to be the posi-
ton of the Spartanburg Herald and
we mention it only to say that this
method of dealing with public officials
who are not to our liking has ten
dency to lessen the influence of the
press and the people see it and have
recognized the unfair treatment with
which the press deals with men in
public positions. The head to this ar
ticle is from the Herald.

We think that Col. E. J. Watson is
making a mighty good officer, espe-
cially since he has stopped his ef-

His enthusiasm may get the better of
his Judgment occasionally, but he is
a hard worker and We believe is al
wa:s working for what he conceives
to be the best interests of his State.
It has been early two centuries since
this earth saw perfect man, and we
do not want one in our business. We
had rather have one who occasionally
makes mistakes and is manly enough
to admit that he has erred.
