toast list at an English banquet, says
the Saturday Evening Post. He be-
gan drearily and talked soggy politics
without end.
After he had been on his feet for an
hour, the chairman. or toastmaster,
sent a note to the man sitting next to
the talker, who also was scheduled for
toast. The toast read: For heav-

him he has long exceeded his time

Presently a note from the man who
was to talk came back to the chair

A Green Goods Game.

When men will not do right Of their
own accord by upholding the golden
rule, there are only two recourses for
those who may be aggrieved-one Is
violence and the other is the law.
VioleIce invariably begets more
violence and is never satisfactory. Go
ing to law is usually poor business;
but it is always better than violence.
More often than otherwise the law is
equal to the task Of settling difficult
ty; but violence never succeeds In ac-
complishing that end.
That the law is often wrong, there Is
no question, and neither is there any
question that it Is often misused by
people whose sworn duty is to use 1t
right. But this, however, is not the
fault of the law. 1t Is the fault Of the
people who interpret and administer
the law, and at last the fault Of the
people who make the law. The people
have the making Of the law and If the
law works injustice to them. they have
only themselves to blame.
It has been a fixed principle Of COM
mercial law for hundreds Of years
that a note obtained by fraud from A
by B, and traded by B to c., must be
paid by A zen presented by c. The
theory Of this is that c, an innocent
third party, cannot be made to suffer
because B swindled A., and there Is
nothing wrong with the proposition; !;
but around this circumstance there
has been a lot Of fraud.
There is a more or less common game
being operated by unscrupulous peo-
pie like this: John Doe, the agent of
Soakem & Co., goes to Richard Roe
the merchant, and offers to sell him
by sample a big lot of jewelry or ex-
tracts, as the case might be, at re-
markably low price and upon easy
terms. Doe makes such representa-
tions as convinces Roe that 1t Is a
great bargain. But Roe has not the
money he can spare. Doe, however,
makes this still easier by offering to
take a long time note, at nominal in
terest with the assurance that If not
paid at maturity it will be renewed,
or if the goods remain unsold, they
will be accepted in payment of the
note at the original purchase price.
The thing looks good, and Roe very
often accepts.
After the goods have been received
and after the note has been given, Roe
finds that Doe has misrepresented
things; that the goods are worthless.
and unstable. He tries to get Soak
EN- & Co., to take the goods back In
accordance with verbal contract; but
Soakem & Co.. refuses responsibility
for any alleged representation not in
writing, and shows and calls attention
to the fact that Doe has signed such
an agreement. When Doe realizes
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-06-13

that he has been victimized he refuses
to pay and there is suit on the note.
When the case comes to trial Roe
fails to appear at all. Soakem & Co,
represent that he is no longer in their
employ. There is no dispute about
any of the facts, because Doe is a
man whose word Is not to be disput-
ed; but the note has passed into the
hands Of an innocent third party"
maybe a really innocent party, and
maybe only another agent of Soakem
& Co. The fight becomes altogether a
matter of law, and the plaintiffs at
torney is furnished with points and
authorities that completely settle ev-
cry possible question that might arise.
There have been such cases in York
county, and juries satisfied Of the
crookedness of the whole thing, have
refused to find for the plaintiff; but
the court seeing that law is unques-
tionably on the side of the defendant
sets the verdict aside, as 1t Is bound to
do, as the supreme court would do
otherwise, and Doe has to pay. -
AS to what is to be done in, cases
like this. we are at a loss to say, We
are quite sure that the law does not
Intentionally condone wrong doing. If
1t did such a thing Intentionally, It
would soon be overthrown.z But where
the facts are clear, as in the case cit
ed, 1t does look as IL there should be
some remedy for the victim other than
to tell him that he should not have al
lowed himself to get caught In such a
snare. .. ... -li .f. r..

Although we have no information on
the subject other than is printed In
the state news paragraph in another
column, we think Governor Blease, has
the Isle of Palms situation down about
right. For the benefit Of his friend
Sotti!e, Mayor Grace has undertaken
to stop Sunday drink selling in
the city of Charleston. in order to
drive the thirsty over to the Isle Of
Palms. This of course, would mean
profit for the ferryboat, profit for the
trolley line, and profit on the whiskey
and beer sold. The understanding is
that all the profit involved would go
to Sotille. If the governor can make
it dry on the island, on Sundays, and
there is no reason to doubt his ability
to do so, then the thirsty will have no
special reason to leave Charleston on
Sunday, unless it be for plunge in the
surf The demand for something to
drink in the city will continue as II
has been, and Mayor Grace will have
to either raise the lid or incur the
hard feeling of many of his friends.
That is the way the thing goes in
Charleston. Politics? Yes, there is
politics, but just study the situation a
little and see who has the long end of
the situation.

Is different. The people generally, both
men and women are tremendously In
terested in the schools, and almost ey-
everybody is anxious to increase their
present facilities.
"Out of fifty-two school districts in
the county," he continued, "all but
eighteen have voted on themselves
special levies Of two or more mills, and
there Is more or less sentiment in
each of these fourteen districts to do
likewise. I am looking for several of
them to vote special taxes this sum-
mer."
Asked as to what has been done In
the way Of voting special taxes this
year. Mr.. Carroll who seemed to have
the whole list Of districts at his ton
gue's end, said:
"Catawba district No. 5 has voted
mills, McConnellsville district No. IL
has voted mills, Bullock's Creek dis
