LANDsFoRD PICNIC

There were between five and six
hundred people at the w. o. w. picnic
at Landsford station on the Catawba
Valley railroad about six or seven
miles over the York line In Chester
county yesterday, and they had quite
a pleasant day Of 1t.
The occasion was social and frater-
nal, and although many men of the
neighborhood were present, the crowd
was made up more largely Of ladies
and children from nearby homes, and
from York county. There were num-
ber of automobiles on hand from Ches-
ter, Rock Hill and the country sur
rounding
Quite number Of prominent men,
including Governor Blease, Hon. John
L. McLaurin, Hon. John G. Richards,
Hon. T. B. Butler and others had been
invited, and 1t was expected that there
would be a session of speech making
as at Filbert; but of those invited only
Hon. M. L. Smith showed up, and there
was but one speech. 1t was a good
one, however.
1t was after II o'clock before the
crowd assembled around the speakers
stand; but there was a large and at
tentive audience to listen to Mr.. Smith.
who came over from Camden in an au-
tomobile and who was introduced by
Senator Hardin of Chester. BY way of
preliminary. Mr.. Smith explained to
the audience that as the result of re-

without comment, copy Of bear let
ter. recently issued by. Hubbard Bros.
of New York. in which that firm says:
"It is under the influence of the leg
islation in Washington which spinners
here and especially in Europe believe
will enable them to buy the incoming
crop at a lower level In our opinion
each day this legislation remains un-
settled means loss to the south. We
are confirmed I'm our view by the ca
bles we receive from Europe eorrobor-
ating what we have stated. Large To-
cal commission houses were heavy
sellers here today on the idea that 80
long as Europe held this view there
would not be enough buying to sustain
prices as 1t Is apparent that the trade
here can not absorb all the hedges"
With cotton as weak as 1t is at pres
ent and the tendency downward, there
Is no need to try to deny the general
correctness Of the above proposition.
Legislation of the Importance, of that
pending. never fails to affect market
conditions at least temporarily, and
that the particular legislation now
pending should have speculative infiu-
ence on prices is very natural. We con-
fess that the present outlook is rather
confusing to say the least Of It; but
our readers should not forget that past
experience has taught that 1t Is good
idea not to bank too much on such
dope as the foregoing. 1t is important
only among the spectators. If on the
strength of the view expressed, the
bears sell more cotton than they can
deliver, the bulls will come in for their
inning, and that is about all there Is to
it. The man who Is producing the. cot
ton will do well to pursue the even
tenor of his way. ... ...

what our friend means by "hogging' a

low Just pushes the owner and every
one else aside and takes the mans pa

himself. Well, this subject Is too hard
for us. We ar of the opinion that the
fellow who is siven to "hogging" news
papers is beyond reclamation. Moth

good. He is too far gone. When
man loses his .self-respect, he cannot
be reached by appeals of any kind. But
right now, there he sits "hogging" this

gentlemanly instincts. But our friend
must excuse us. We dare not say more,

ed about thirty minutes to the delivery
Of a carefully prepared address on So
cial, Industrial, economic and educa-
tional status of the south with refer
ence to past, present and future pro-
gress Of the nation. He took and up
held with facts and logic, the position
that the south had shaped and domi-
mated the development Of the United
States from the beginning, and argued
that by reason of intellectual superior
ity, higher aspiration along with the
tremendous economic advantage that
comes from material endowments in
the shape ~ climate. soil, minerals,
water powers, coast lines, etc., this
section must necessarily dominate the
United States and the world in the

marks, and at their conclusion was

If following up the suggestion Of the
Newberry Herald and News, the legis-
latura should require the publication
of the names of all parents and guar
dians who patronize state colleges, and
make it known, who does and does not
pay tuition, there would be big howl.
The plea would be the injustice of pub
fishing to the world the poverty of the
worthy parents and guardians who are
to educate their children;
but the real reason would be the expo
sure Of many high flyers, who though
able to indulge in pleasure automo-
biles, have sworn that they are unable
to pay nominal tuition in charges fol
their children.

! Mayor Grace, Of Charleston, Is in
creasing his activities against blind
tigers that keep open after midnight
or sell on Sunday. The police arrested
four such offenders Monday and put
them under bonds of SIS each. The
News and Courier Of Tuesday prints
this paragraph: "Chief Cantwell has
announced that some Of the clubs have
probably misunderstood the law, but
ne wants it known now. once and for
all, that no matter under what charter,
he says, the club may be operating 1t
has no more right to violate the Carey
Cothran act than blind tiger. The
membership business will not save 1t.
says the chief" That sounds very
good; but one thing about 1t that we
do not very well understand, Is why
there should be more wrong In violat-
ing the law after midnight and on
Sundays than at other times.

The "Soeiap Ciub-We clip this
from one Of the daily papers Of last
week: "Since the first of the year
the secretary of state has chartered
sixteen social clubs in South Carroll
ma. Many of these clubs are organ
lied for the purpose Of selling whis-
key. Under the law the secretary of
state Is forced to issue the charter,
even though ne knows that the club
is organized for the Illicit sale Of whis-
key. r. M. McCown, secretary of
state, has repeatedly called this sit
uation to the attention Of the general
assembly but no action has been TAX
en-" The legislature should give the
needed relief. License to these clubs
should be against the law. for every
one Of them holds a United States Ii
cense and the law of South Carolina
makes the possession of a Federal
license prima facie evidence of guilt
Of lawlessness. 1t would seem that
the state ought to refuse to license
anything which is by its own laws rec
ognized as lawless.-Baptist Courier.

Free Tuition, Etc.

Further discussing the question OF
free tuition in the state colleges, the
Newberry Herald and News says:
If the Lancaster News would take
the trouble to look up the records OF
Winthrop and Clemson colleges, 1t will
find out of the seven or eight hundred
boys. and girls at each institution that
less than one hundred in each pay tut
ton. We have not looked into the
matter very recently, but we recall
very distinctly that few years ago
when there were about six hundred
girls at Winthrop about ninety paid
tuition and with more than six hum
dred boys at Clemson. only about ffty
paid tuition. With this small number
opinion that free tuition should be
given to them. 1t shows one Of two
things; that most of the boys and girls
at these two colleges are from families
who are unable to pay tuition, or that
a great many of them are making the
statement required in order to avoid
the payment In either event, II is
significant that Ii would be better II
tuition were made free in all the state
institutions.
In regard to scholarships, Of course,
1t sometimes happens that they go to
young. men and women who really
need them and without this aid would
have some difficulty in securing a COL
lege education, but in a great many
cases, the ones that need the aid most
are the ones that fail in the examina-
tions, and others whose parents are
able to pay for the education Of their
children get the benefit Of these schol-
arships.
Our views on this subject, we know,
are different from those Of great
many people, but with the small per-
centage Of boys and girls Of South Car
olina who can go to college, we take
nishes higher institutions with free
tuition 1t has gone far enough in the
way of higher education and that its
money otherwise appropriated should
be given to the common schools, where
more than ninety-five per cent Of the
children end their education. And be-
sides that, we desire to repeat what we
have said a number of times before,
that we do not believe there is a boy
or girl in South Carolina who Is pre-
pared to enter the Freshman class of
any first class college and has the ca
pacity to take a higher education who
could not secure it If he or she was
sufficiently interested to obtain 1t.
We understand that the Citadel is
maintained almost entirely by appro-
priations which are made for scholar
ships and we would not take the ap-
preparations away from the Citadel.
but would require the boys who went
there to pay their own living expenses
and give them free tuition.

Disregarding the insistence of DEM
ocratic senators that he had no pow
er to appoint a senator to take the
place of the late Senator Johnson un-
til his successor can be appointed,
Governor O'Neal of Alabama, on last
Tuesday evening gave the appointment
to Congressman Henry D. Clayton. In
asmuch as the question as to whether
the governor can appoint will have to
be decided by the senate itself, and
the Democrats have a majority of only
one vote, 1t is probable that Mr.. Clay
ton will be turned down. In fact 1t is
practically certain. Mr.. Clayton has
wisely decided that he will not resign
his seat in the house until after he has
been seated In the senate. 1t Is eX-
pected that whether Clayton Is seated
or not, his appointment will give him
a good boost in his race before the
people.

followed Friendship, ;" And, Lesslie. and
Mr.. Williford and a few of his neigh
bors were left in little strip about
two miles wide and nearly eight miles
long. 1t looked pretty gloomy for a
while; but finally the leaders got to-
gether, decided to vote q special tax,
went down in their pockets, and after
sizing up their ability to do. and their
willingness: to do. decided upon the
erection of two-story school house to
cost from $4,000 to $4,000 and conduct
therein first class three-teacher grad
ed school for eight months out of the
year. All the money has not been rais-
ed yet; but az there has been no signs
of any laying down, 1t looks like the
proposition Is going to be go.
II have decided to quit working so
hard and to take things easier" re-
marked Mr.. Williford in the course Of
conversation. He was seriously In
earnest about the matter, and the re-
mark was in accord with what some
Of his friends are saying. But to the
writer 1t sounds funny. He used to
work hard with his hands, and al
though he does not mind doing the like
now, 1t is not quite so steady job. He
seems to have the idea that because he
does not make q hand he Is not work
In" while as a matter Of fact he Is do
ing more and harder work for himself
and others now than he has ever done.
But after all 1t Is good for man not
to look at 1t that way.
Mr.. Williford was one Of the pioneers
in the alfalfa movement that started
over his way four or five years ago,
and he now has five acres, the oldest
acre being three years old. The stand
is splendid, the best the writer has
seen anywhere In this section, and SO
far this year there have been three cut
tings, a total Of ninety-two inches. av-
eraging about $500 pounds per acre.
All the hay has been packed in his big
barn, and Is being fed to the stock OF
all kinds. Il don't intend to sell any
alfalfa" said Mr.. Williford; but 1t is
my purpose to feed 1t to stock. II !
have not got enough stock to use 1t, I'll
get some more, because I think 1t will
pay in the long rum" y,
Discussing the subject Of alfalfa, Mr..
Williford said that 1t Is undoubtedly a
great crop II properly handled, and he
is very we'll satisfied with what has
been accomplished so far; but ne is
not inclined to go wild on the subject.
He has been experimenting with Grim
son clover for several years, and he has
a high opinion Of that legume. Il ex-
pect to continue sowing crimson clo-
ver," he said, ito build up my land. SO
far It Is about as good thing as /
have ever found for the purpose"
Mr.. Williford's home is large,
roomy two story building, with q wide
portico. He has running water through
the house, and the numerous outbuild-
ings, all in first class shape, show evil
dence Of proper care and bear testi-
mony to the general prosperity OF the
owner as well as his highly developed
ideas of ease and comfort. There Is a
good garden back of the house and lots
Of fruit trees Of various kinds in easy
reach. OF course, he has an 'automo-
bile. i'm which he is able to reach town
in ten or fifteen minutes or go where
ever else he likes in short order.
