Looks For Statewide Prohibition.

There is one bit of advice that we
would give the county dispensary
board in this county, and that is not to
spend much money on a bottling plant
or other things which will be of little
value if the dispensary system is dis
continued. We look for strong fight
to be made for Statewide prohibition,
with the chance of its being success
full. In Orangeburg county the legisla-
tive delegation passed resolution re-
questing the dispensary board not to
invest in bottling plant on account of
the probability of Statewide prohibi-
ton. Bamberg Herald.

We heard a man remark the other
day, They'll soon have Thaw
back in Manhattan. We are of the
opinion that he should be on Mar
haitian Island or anywhere else he
wishes to go rather than be in Mat
teawan. The insane theory was only
ruse of Thaw's lawyers to save
him from the electric chair. When
tried for killing White he should
either have been electrocuted or
given his freedom.

Mary met the gaze Of the inspector

on him a smile thlt was dazzling, the
smile of woman triumphant in her
mastery of the situation. Her face
was radiant, luminous with honest
mirth.
She spoke in a most casual voice,
despite the dancing delight in her

Mary laughed aloud, while Burke
sat dumfounded. She rose swiftly,
and went to the nearest window, and
with pull at the cord sent the shade
flying upward. There was revealed

pad. A groan Of distress burst from
him, and he fled the place in ignomini-

Tb. unearned increment Principle

The Unearned increment Principle
In an editorial in the Progressive Far
mer of last week we noticed that Ed
itor Clarence Poe rather advocated the
taxing of unimproved lands and re-
ducing the assessments on Improve
ments. That system would possibly
be a good thing in some towns and
communities where parties hold prop
erty of higher prices and will not sell,
even at a reasonable price, to those
who would improve 1t, and yet they
will make no improvements themselves.
We don't know how this plan would
work out, but we certainly would like
to see it tried in South Carolina, for
here we tax a mans energy and I'M
provements
It would seem to be good princi-
pie of government that, II property
owner would not sell to some one who
would improve it, he should be taxed
because of his lack Of progressiveness.
