South Carolina is a State of perpetual IT.
ritation, situated between Georgia and
North Carolina, and somewhere between
the revolution and the civil war. 1t is the
hghtina State in the Union, and Is the un'
safest spot between the Atlantic and the
Pacific In which to discuss the emancipa-
ton proclamation or to edit a newspaper
witt a t~renchant pen.
|, South Carolina is about as big as the
front yard OTIS Texas cattle king. 1t con
tains $1,000 square miles, Is shaped like a
Ave cent cut Of pie, and has 1,5O0,0O0 peo-
pie, including Republicans, Chinese, and
Indians not taxed. The population Is al
most equally,divided between whites and
negroes, but one white CaroIinian when he
knashes his teeth and draws his breath
with a low kissing sound can make 1t
colored residents 60 away In search OF resi-
and a change of climate without waiting
for the ne1ttrain.
! South Carolina was settled about 25(
years ago., but has remained unsettled evel
since. 1t has always been noted for Its
nervous disposition and its willingness tt
rise up and snite the universe on all occa
[sidns. The British were having an easy
thine In the revolution when they struck
south Carolina, but Gen. Marion soor
made them look like a Republican who has
criticised Gen. Lee In Charleston. The

He Rallied to the Wrong Cause.


On Tuesday last at Level Land, before
Magistrate 4. F. Carwile, the case OF the
State against Sam Williams, colored'
charged with Disturbing religious worship
was tried, sasalting Up p ane!of S. for Sam
June the 10th was Eaily dry At the Flat
Rock Baptist church, and Samuel, being
somewhat disposed to rally, but being q
an incorporate frame OF mind, rallied 10
the aid OF those bent ON the determination
OF John Barleycorn, which developed In
him a belief that he ought to run things
to his own liking. Tho right OF Sam to do
this was vigorously contested by others,
with the result that Sam was arrested.
At the trial before Magistrate Carwile
the prosecution was represented by VIM

Coffee in the Tropics.
From the Springfield Republican

From the Springfield Republican,
The hot weather experts are battling
~iercely over the question Of stimulants'
For alcohol nobody has Il good word to
say and indeed it's consumption falls of
automatically when the thermometer ris-
es above 90 degrees. But tea and coffee
have found stout defenders, and if any
thing may be inferred from usage, it is
significant that some of the Egreatest cof-
ee-drinking countries lie in tropical Or
sub-tropical regions. The experience OF
white neil in the tropics shows that no
one with whom coffee agrees need be
scared out OF it by hot weather.

How our Laws We're Made.
J: ,enwood Index

VI tll"oou 1ilhiCA.
Tho Acts @. the General Assembly for
1912 have just been published, and this
volume is probably unique in that each
act has a notation showing how it be-
came "a law.
There we're three hundred and one acts
and joint resolutions passed at the last
session, and Of this number only fifteen
vers approved by ~ Governor. ssvea
we're passed his veto, and two hundred
and seventy nine became law without the
Governors approval.
Among the fifteen acts approved by the
Governor are the following: An act to au-
thorize and empower Columbia, Railway,
Gas and Electrical Company to construct
and maintain a dam across Congaree riv-
er and Columbia Canal, an act to incorpor-
ate Lockhart Power Company; and act to
incorporate Columbia and Camden Rail-
way Company.
Among the seven acts passed over the
Governors veto are acts providing for the
appointment OF rural police by officers OF
the Counties rather than by the Governor,
the act providing for the investigation Of
the Dispensary Commission, which tho
Governor asked the Legislature to pass,
the act prohibiting Foreigners from voting
In the primary elections.
Among the two hundred and seventy
nine acts not approved by the Governor
are many measures Of great interest to
the general public such as the act to regu-
late the award Of scholarships in Clemson
College so as to provide that at least one
scholarship In each county shall go e1-
clusively to the boys from the rural COM
munities, the act to amend the. law with
reference to toilets on trains and to pro-
vide for better accommodations, the act
to require railroads to receive coupons on
trains, the act to sprovide for the levy Of
taxes for county and achool purposes and
many others too numerous to mention.
The law provides that the Governor
shall approve all facts within three days
after they are presented to him II the Leg
islature is in session. If he does not ap-
prove they become law without his ap-
prevail. II the Legislature adjourns be-
fore the three days expire then such acts
as are not 'approxed by the Governor do
! not become law unless the next Legisla-
ture passed such acts over the Governors
veto or unless the Governor fails to retGrn
them within three days after the session
%convenes.
Such all unusual condition needs to lie
emphasized. Remember, out OF three
hundred and one acts and joint resolu-
lions passed by the Legislature Of 1919,
only fifteen were approved by the Gov
ernor. Seven were passed over his veto
and two hundred and s%evsnty-nine be-
came law without the Governors approx
al.
Notice the acts approved by the Gov
ernor. Acts in favor and for the benefit Of
corporations. Local measures asked by
the people OF various counties ignored.
Such measures either became laws with
out his approval or were passed over his
veto.
The published acts show a complete his
tory Of the work Of the Legislature. Each
act is annotated, showing how it became a
law.
The record is open for IN citizen.

H WAREHOUSE ACT.

- IA a u TSb.a Ia ~ I'd. - Z
The State of last Saturday carried
headline over the decision Of the
eourtin the warehouse case
which is calculated't to create q: wrong
impression and us several county pa:
'pers have practically adopted the
heading, it is well enough TO set the
straight. The heading in
question stated that the opinion OF
the court held that the State;could
not engage in the warehouse bust
ness, when q close reading reveals the
fact that the act was held to be I'm.
constitutional solely by reason Of the
method by which the system was
sought to be made effective. -
The decision is far-reaching in eff.
feet in that it establishes new prin-
.eiple and, so far as our kno Wedge
goes, is the first procurement OF
our higher courts on a subject that is
OF vital concern to the agricultural
interests of the entire South. -
The, opinion Of the court, which
was written by Chief Justice Gary
and was concurred in by every jus
Dice sitting in the Gaze, while holding
the act unconstitutional by reasonh OF
certain imperfeetions in the act itself,
declares that the establishment and
maintenance Of a system of ware
houses is clearly within the police
power Of the State. The chief
grounds upon which the law was
found to be unconstitutional were
that the public debt .was increased
without submitting the 'question to
the qualified electors and also that
portion OF the amount to be. appro-
priated was to be available in 1912
and part in 1918, which is contrary to
The constitution. ...;
4 In concluding it's opinion the court
reiterates' the doctrine laidrdowi pre-
SiousIy in the opinion Ia. these
words: s.
''Of course, the conclusion that tba stat

and the defects: which rem

ing been pointed out In the able
opinion, the friends Of. the measure
can easily remedy them at the next
of the general assembly.
1t is gratifying to- know that the
establishment of the warehouse sys-
tenn, while delayed somewhat by
'imperfections In the draft OF the
measure, can be c~onsummated at an
early date, as it will, If properly es-
