1t begins to look as if Henry
Lane Wilson will not go back to
Mexico officially. If the many
stories published relating to the
views expressed by this diplomat
are half true he has demonstrat-
ed his unftness for the place,
and should be requested to re.
sign. The successor Of Ambas-
sador Wilson should be from
Texas, and the border part at
that, perhaps then familiarity
with the Mexican traits Of char
acter will bring about an under
standing between the two coun
tries. Ex-President Roosevelt
has been suggested for the posi-
ton, OF course this is not prob
able, but if President Wilson was
to put the Mexican situation into
his hands to be solved it would
not be a week before he would
have that country overrun with
troops, and the Greasers beg
ging for terms. Right or wrong
Roosevelt would take positive
action.

}. J. Cantey, Esq, of Summer
ton, has filed complaint with Hon.
E. J. Watson, Commissioner OF
Agriculture, with regard to the
present relation between the land
lord and tenant since the recent
decision of the supreme court.
Mr.. Watson promised to direct
the attention Of the legislature
to Mr.. Cantey's contention in his
report to that body for such re
lief as it thinks best. Mr.. Cantey
seems to have been under the
impression that a landlord had a
lien On the crop for supplies in
preference to all other lie
whether the same was in writ.
ing or not, and he contended that
a written lien was not necessary
for the landlord to assert his
claim, but the supreme court and
Mr.. Cantey entertain different
views, hence Mr.. Cantey's ap-
peal to Com missioner Watson for
what we might term a writ of
super sc de as.

PICAYNNISH.

Cannot some one suggest a
way to make the State officers
behave, so they will quit snap,
ping at each other through the
newspapers? Within the last
few weeks several Of the depart
ments have had a controversy,
much to the disgust of the peo'
pie. The latest row jumped ur
is because the Comptroller Gen.
eral assuming to be the guardian
of the treasury, took it upon
himself to question a small ac'
count for expenses incurred by
the Attorney General for enter:
taining the Attorneys General
from all over the United States.
Some time during Attorney Gen
eral Lyons administration, the
Attorneys General were invited
to hold their convention in South
Carolina. the legislature made
an appropriation for the expen,
ses of this convention: and the
present Attorney General
PEBBLES had the entertainment
in charge, but when he files his
account with Comptroller Gen
eral Jones as the law requires,
that officer took it upon himself
to reject the same, constituting
the appropriation to mean: the
fund so appropriated was for
actual expenses, such as hotel
bill and railroad fare, but moth
ing to pay for the smoker given
in honor Of the visitors, there
fore, instead of some 5000, the
account filed, the Comptroller
General reducted the amount to
less than SIS.
This has the appearance of
captiousness to US, at any rate,
1t is picayunish in the extreme.
The general assembly gave its
approval! to entertain the visit
ing officials from the other
states, and made a small pro
vision to defray expenses; after
all is over, and the guests re-
tnrn to their homes, the news
papers are forced to carry the
humiliating story of South Car
olina's picayunishness. It would
serve this State right if those
gentlemen who were entertained
would get together and contri-
butte the small amount out OF
their own pockets. The appro-
priation Act did not go into de-
tails to say how these visitors
should be entertained, whether
they should be treated to soda
water and cheroots, or grape
juice and cigars. but the enter.
tainment was authorized, and if
the comptroller general persists
in refusing to sign the warrant,
the general assembly will make
a special appropriation for it.

no VOTE, NO TAX.

Senator Tillman resents the
statement made by The Orange
burg Sun that he had changed
his attitude with regard to Civ
ing the ballot to every white
man. The Senator was the main
factor in framing the suffrage
clause in the State constitution,
and our recollection of the dis
cussion at the time is that the
purpose of the requirements of
the constitution was to insure
the ballot to white men. but to
make it difficult for negroes to
become qualified. 1t was the
general impression at that time,
and since, white men were not to
be deprived Of the ballot under
any conditions, but a reading Of
the constitution will show that
white men can be deprived if the
law is strictly carried out, and
enforced; a white man who can
not read and write or has not as
much as three hundred dollars
worth of taxable property on the
books, is according to the funda-
mental law, disfranchised. not
withstanding he is forced to pay
a poll tax, and perform such
public duties as may be required
of him; in case of war, he can be
drafted into the service of the
country to defend and protect
property, he is subjected to work
on the public highways, assist in
making arrests at the command
of the sheriff, and yet because
he has not the necessary amount
of taxable property, and is so un
fortunate as not to be able to
read and write a clause in the
constitution, he is not eligible to
have a voice in the government.
We have Nd idea that Senator
Tlllman would lend himself to
deprive any white man of his
vote. but we are satisfied there
is an element in this State which
hope to secure by a strict en-
forcement of the requirements OF
the constitution, a curtailment Of
the votes by confning the ballot
to the towns and thickly popu
lated communities, in the belief
they will be able to come into
control. But 1t is our opinion,
these are counting without con-
slderation, ilhteracy has been
practically removed from this
State, the most isolated sections
are provided with schools, and
it is rare to find a white person
who cannot read and write, the
few who cannot, if good citizens
should not be subjected to the
humiliation Of being refused the
right to exercise their wishes in
matters Of public interest, unless
their condition carries with it ex-
emption from public duties also.

Senator Vardaman, of Missis
sippi, objects to the appointment
of a negro to the office of registry
of the treasury. This juicy plum
has been held by negroes for a
number of years, even under the
Cleveland administration it was
held by a negro, but now that a
Democratic President sits at the
head of the table. the Mississippi
Senator protests. The Columbia
State of yesterday editorially
reads a lecture to Vardaman for
making a break like this. and
proceeds to say why there should
be some consideration shown the
negro. The position of Registar
of the Treasury is very impor
tant, carrying with it a good
salary, and considerable dignity,
just why it should be given to a
negro has Eever been explained.

REFORMING BANKING.

The currency bill now in the
course of consideration by the
Banking Committee does not
seem to have as smooth sailing
as did the tariff measure when
in the hands Of the Democratic
caucus; with the currency meas.
ure there Is a considerable diff
ference of opinion, some of
the discussions have been some
what heated. The chairman of
the committee however, seems
to think the bill will go
through practically as it has
been framed Notwithstanding
the strenuous objection of Con-
gressmen Ragsdale, of South
Carolina. and Henry of Texas.
Chairman Glass has the ear of
President Wilson and no doubt
Secretary Bryan has also given
his approval to the measure, ii
this is true, regardless of cir
cumstances or results the bill
will become a law, and the bank
ing methods will undergo a con-
siderable change. We arc not
sufficiently informed whether the
change will give opportunity to
get money on easier terms and
at a cheaper rate of interest, and
whether it will have any effect
upon the present system of ex.
tortion in the way of preliminar-
les to secure loans-fees for ne
gotiating the loan, and fixing the
papers, commissions for secur
ing the loan, and discouuting the
loan to evade the usuary law;
under the contemplated banking
law the present congress has
under consideration there may
be reformation along the lines
referred to, if there is we feel
sure those who must deal with
the banks will welcome it, but if
there is no reformation along the
lines indicated, the masses will
get very little benefit from the
legislation.

Banking Accommodations.

Th e citizens, and especially the
merchants, of Pinewood. have been
inconvenienced by the banks clos
ing at an early hour on Saturdays,
their busiest day in the week, and
have through Mr.. W. D. Epperson. pc
titioned those in control Of the banks
at Pinewood to open them from to 3
o'clock to cash checks and attend to
other necessary business from Septem
Der to December. We have been re-
ouested to publish the following CORES
ponds nee which we do with pleasure,
and will add that if a.. of the banks in
the county would take to this idea it
would be an accomm mediation to the gen.
eral public, as it frequently happens
that farmers selling cotton are often in-
conrenienced in getting their checks
cashed after the ordinary banking
hours. The following is the correspon

THE PARCEL POST.

Notwithstanding the opposi
ton in the senate Postmaster
General Burleson is determined
to put into effect his policy of
reducing the rates on parcels,
and increasing the weights from
eleven to twenty pounds, with a
strong probability of later IN
creasing the weight to one hun
dred pounds. The railroads are
protesting against this increase
Of weight, claiming that it will
cause a loss of SIS, 100000 to
S20.0OO,OOO a year. According
to the contention Of the railroads
the people have been paying au
awful lot Of money for the con-
venience Of having their parcels
transported, and now that the
government will do this work
for about one third charged by
the transportation companies,
there should be no complaint on
the part of the beneticiaries.
The only thing in connection
with this parcel post system that
gives room for serious consider
alton, is the effect upon the local
dealer, if it is going to have the
effect of sending the cash out OF
the reach of the local dealer to
the great syndicates operating
the mail order concerns. it may
result in hampering the local en-
terprises. The syndicates with
their large capital can buy the
outputs of factories, Or can op-
crate factories themselves,
should be able to place on the
market goods at a smaller cost
than the local dealer, added to
this, the transporting facilities
offered by the government, must
necessarily put the local dealer,
who is tax payer, at a great
disadvantage.
But it is argued that the mass
es will benefit, in, that they will
be able to save money. This is
question deserving more than a
casual consideration. Grant that
the actual purchase will save
them money, if the local mer-
chant is crippled by the money
being sent away from his mar
ket, will he be able to handle the
various products Of those who
patronize the foreign stores?
The farmer can order a plow
point and save ten cents. but
when he has eggs or butter to
sell will his local merchant be in
a position to handle his product:
1t the local merchants are to be
crippled by the governments
policy we are not so sure that
the proposed increase of weight
together with the reduction Of
the postage rates is the blessing
claimed for it: but we readily
see wherein it is a boon to the
foreign concerns that do not con-
tribute a farthing towards the
support of the local government,
the schools, the churches, or any
of the other institutions neces-
sary for the uplifting and the
upbuilding of the communities
from whence they will draw the
money.

Here is a chance for some one
to make a little pocket money.
There was a bill introduced in
the senate Yesterday offering a
reward of Sl00, 900 for an effec-
tive remedy against the boil
weevil. Whether this is intend
ed as a burlesque of the South
Carolina senator's recent activ-
ity in the interest of the cotton
grower we do not know, but if
the reward is offered by the gov
ernment sure enough. we would
get in on the ground floor by
suggesting as an effective way
to get rid of the pest: the cap
ture of the insect aud choking
it to death, every one destroyed
this way will be dead.

The department of commerce
is Investigating into the increase
price of fertilizer, and it is ex-
pected this investigation will be
productive Of good results, as it
is claimed that since the investi-
cation commenced the price OF
nitrate of soda has decreased S13
per ton. If the government can
succeed in having the price OF
fertilizer decreased it will be a
great help to the farmers, and if
it will see to it that adulterations
do not come with the decrease in
price then the cost of making the
crop will be reduced.
