"The Sinner That Repenteth."-

"The Sinner That Repenteth.' THE
Columbia State has announced that II
will discontinue advertising liquor
houses, and it has ever since been re.
ceiving the plaudits Of those opposed
to the sale of intoxicants. These pou-
quets are all very nice and we nave
no doubt the States management Is
gratified thereby, but the strange parl
of all this hurrah being given to the
State is, those who are praising II Ioi
its determination have never given the
least encouragement or acknowledge
ment of appreciation to the neWspa.
pers of the order of the Times that
have always refused this class OF BUS
mess, but now that the State makes q
flourish of Righteousness there goes up
a general glee, and the uninformeo
would think the State has set a pace
in journalism, when In fact IL Is iar
behind many of the country weeklles
which are poorer financially. even II
they are richer morally; but then, this
kind of wealth Is not good collateral
at the bank when a paper becomes
due.-Manning Times.

Hon. E. Y. Webb has sprung into
national prominence on account Of his
achievement in securing the passage to
the bill to place interstate liquor ship
ments under state jurisdiction. AL
though there are few men who could
have accomplished what. Mr.. Webb has
accomplished along that line, this of it
self is only small indication OF what
there is in Mr.. Webb. He is really one
of the big men Of the country, and the
country is going to be brought to
realization of the fact. ..

president for nomination to succeed
Judge Nathan Goff on the Federal

Bartlett of Georgia wanted free phos-

The keynote Of President Wilson's
speech is equal rights to all, and spe-

bility of the strong for the weak, and
common justice for everybody. And
the best part about it is, that it looks
more and more like President Wilson
is going to be able to make good.

tempted to suspect that the Standard
Oil company itself might have been
behind the trust busting proposition.

Bennettsville, April 8: Some time
ago Messrs. ]. J. Mattheson, c. P
Hodges and D. K. McColl brought into
this county a lot Of cotton seed in
which the dead boil weevils were
found. 1t seems this seed was shipped
from territory infected with the boil
weevils, but that it had been treated
and the purchasers thought that 1t was
free from any boil weevil, or other pest
Profs. Conradi and Thomas, of Glenn
son college, after giving the matter
due consideration, decided that the best
thing to do with the seed was either to
have it shipped back or DESTROYED. The
seed brought in by Mr.. D. K. McColl.
after being condemned, was shipped
back to Fort Gibson, Miss. The seed
ordered out by Mr.. ]. ]. Mattheson
caused some little friction, but was
finally burned by order. of the proper
authority.

Better Of Than II Knew.

Forest Hill school district No. 80, is
better off than anybody In the nelgn-
borhood knew Of, or at least that Is
the way the matter looks at this time.
Not long ago there was found among
some old estate papers a plat dated
1881, showing 123 acres as included In
Forest Hill school property. search or
the records in the clerks office failed to
disclose the existence Of a deed; but
examination Of the papers of surround
ing land owners develops that the
land in question is unclaimed. The
presumption is that this property was
decided to the school district and that
the paper is probably lying away In
some forgotten place. So far as The
Enquirer has information, nobody has
any recollection as to the exact facts
in the case.
Court House Bonds.
The court house commission Is mark
ing time in its arrangements Tor the
erection Of the proposed new court house
and everything is at standstill eX-
cept the matter Of placing the bonds.
After gathering more or less informa-
ton as to sites, ETC., and considering
at length the questions involved IN
changing from the present site, the
commission very wisely decided to go
no further until after the necessary
funds are in hand. For instance sup
pose the present site should be sold
and a new site purchased, and after
the contracts had been entered into, II
should develop that no purchaser
could be found to take these Al per
cent bonds at par, there would be
peck Of trouble The county would be
out of a court house, and there would
be no sure way of getti1.s another. All
kinds of complications could develop.
Thoroughly realizing this situation, the
commission decided to go slowly. AS
the result of inquiries by correspon-
dence and otherwise, it has been de-
veloped that there is no demand for the

cision to visit the capitol was commu-

in the day. Senator Simmons was noti-
fled that the president would be in his
room at the capitol at 8 o'clock and
would like to resume the conference

began Monday morning at the White
House. Extreme simplicity surround

or realized the Importance OF the pre-
cedent he had established in visiting
the capitol for legislative conferences.

1t was reported at the meeting Of the

whore counsel was engaged to COM
mence suit the~ssme ~ in Van Buren
county, that an Injunction had been
issued to restrain officials In Guthrie
county from spreading the tax levy
made by the legislature on tho county
books. This IL not the case. Judge APP

auditors to place against the taxable
property Of their respective counties
the millage taxes levied for fund out
Of which the state will make the inn
provement ordered The only injunc-
ton in existence affects the officers Of
ono county. It's chief effect will! ns to
hold back the clerical work Of placing
the levy on the books until near the
time for the collection Of the same.
This II matter which concerns the
county officials chiefly.
"The fact that Rowley and his asso-
ciates will appeal from the Applegate
decision" said Attorney General Co.'S
son. Indicates that 1t is not the consti-
tutional question that they seek to
have determined. The constitutional
question. which is that Of giving the
state authority to anticipate tax levies
made, will be decided in the appeal
from the Hunter decision"
County officials will be informed that
the proper course IL to proceed in regu-
Lar way with the application Of the
millsSe tax for capitol extension the
same as for other millage taxes, that
the Hunter decision affects only one
county. that the attorney general has
no doubt whatever that the decision of
Judge Applegate will be upheld as to
tho legality Of the tax levy, and the
whole matter viii be decided before the
close Of the year by the supreme court.
Some county officials have been holding
back under a mistaken idea as to what
was decided by teh two Judges and un-
der the impression that Applegate az
well at Hunter decided the tax levy
was in violation Of tho constitution.
