The condition of the drive ways and
walks in Rosemont cemetery is a
disgrace and stigma upon any civ
ilized people. We know this is strong
language but we ask any one who
doubts the truth Of it, to go over to
the cemetery and look at them and
answer for himself the truth of what
we say in the presence of the dead.
1t is all very nice to put garlands up
on the graves once year, and we
would not in the least be understood
as obiecting to that custom, but how
much better all of us would have felt,
if there had been any evidence of prop
er care of the sacred spot, during the
other 364 days of the year, and how
much prettier the garlands would have
appeared, and how much happier we
would have been on this day, if these
evidences of care had been all around
u.s. sntiment, you say. Only that we
had more of it.

COLLECTORsHIP OF BEAUFORT.
Democrats Fighting to Put Frank P
COlcOek in Place of Negro.

Washington, May 8.-After con-
siderable delay because Of the absence
of republican members of the senate
committee on commerce, who wished
to prevent quorum, the democrats
of that committee today mustered al
most their full strength and forced a
vote for a favorable report on the NOM
ination of Frank ?. Colcock to succeed
Robert smalls as collector of the port
of Beaufort, S. C.
All of the republican members OF the
committee, except Senator Perkins, Of
California, declared their intention to
continue the fight in favor of smalls
after the matters should come in exc
cutive session of the senate. Senator
Perkins is not opposed to the confirm
alton of Colcock. 1t is presumed that
the republicans will try to break the
quorum at the executive session of
the senate when the Colcock nomina-
ton is reached. But Senator Tillman
expects to be on hand and have his
sufficient force to maintain the quo
rum and secure confirmation.

The republican fight again. the bill,
however, will be conducted in vigorous

These will be debated at length and a

Senator LaFollette is credited with
an intention to enter into the fight
Independently 1t was eiper.ed he
would offer substitute bill, or at
least submit many amendments. He
declined tonight, howe ,er, to define
his position on the Underwood bill

Before Senate.
The bill will be laid before the SEN
ate tomorrow and will be referred to
the finance committee. The first plan
of the republicans was to move that
the committee be instructed to hold
oral hearings and to get a record vote
ON this question. This plan has been
abandoned and no attempt will be
made tomorrow to order hearings,
The finance committee, by strictly
party vote, already has turned down a
proposal to hold hearings, and Chair
man Simmons said tonight it would be
beaten again if republicans insisted
upon bringing it up in the senate.
The finance committeehas been con-
sidering the bill ever since its intro
duction in the house. Chairman SIM
mons had hoped to be able to 'eport it
from the committee in two weeks from
tomorrow, but he now thinks it can
not be reported under three @weeks'
even if hearings are not held. Opinion
in the finance committee is that at
least five weeks will be spent by the
senate in consideration of the bill al
ter it is reported. In conference the
senator's do not expect much time to
be lost, and they hope for final
agreement not later than August l.

The editor of this newspaper hard
" expects to separate these South
Carolina editors from their free pass
es, but our idea it to put them on
record at least.zzBamberg Herald,
So far as we know there is no one
who objects to going on record, What
we would like to know is when you got
religion and reformed and found out
it was criminal to exchange advertis-
ing with the railroad for transporta-
ton. Of course, if you have discover
ed, after making the exchange for
many years, that you have been un-
duly Influenced thertby, then it is
wrong for you to make the exchange,
but pray when did you become the
arbiter for the conscience of your
brethren.
When we make the exchange with
the railroads for what they have to
sell for what we have to sell, we do
not feel that they have bought US body
and soul, and they have never so in
timated, and the record will show that
we have been as free to criticise them
as some of these self constituted arbi-
ters of our conscience.
If any editor thinks it is wrong to
make the exchange then he should not
make it, but we submit he has no NOR
al OF legal right to say what we shall
do.
This is the way we see it, but in this
day of trying to regulate the conduct
of individuals by legislation we will
not be surprised at anything that is
done, for there is scarcely any genuine
American liberty left-the kind for
which our forefathers fought and
died.
When the matter is thoroughly sift-
ed it is generally found that these fel-
lows who get up on stills and pose
as great moralists have some grew
ance somewhere, or some cause other
than their high moral attitude and
great love for the dear people as
over against the soulless corporations.
It was always strange thing to US
that after riding on these free passes,
as they call them, for quarter of a
century, as most of them have, they
should suddenly wake up to the enor-
nifty of the crime they have commit
ed. Seems to us they had better try
to reform themselves, and repent in
sack cloth and ashes, before they try
to reform other people.
Honest now, Brother Knight, wnat

BOOKS AND SCIENCE

Who will attempt to deny that science
has enormously increased the income of
the American people as whole? Science
is taught to the youth who will be the
American people in 1925, through the
schools and Libraries of the present day.
Admitting these two self evident facts.
it follows that schools and libraries are
paying investment in dollars and cents
rather than an expense and a luxury. To
the man or woman who is for nothing un-
less there is material benefit to be de-
rived from 1t, the appeal of the library
and public school is as strong as to the
person with more abstract ideals and
sentiment. No person, no matter his be-
lief, his religion. his ideals, his ambi-
ton, can discredit the worth of these two
institutions except by lodging the issue
The school and college are merely a
beginning of what must be kept up
through life by every man or woman
who wishes to keep pace with the world
Attire this beginning, then what? The IL
brary fills the breach. After the begin
ming in the school the library is the
medium by which perpetual education and
study can be carried on-and it is the
only medium.

COTTON MARKET IS
DECIDEDLY NERVOUS
Trading Small With Price
Changes NarrOw-Net
Loss of 5 to IL Points

New Orleans. November 20.--Trading In
cotton continued small today with price
changes narrow and decidedly nervous. In
the morning declines were followed by re-
coveries, but in the afternoon the market
was easier and prices fell off apparently
on selling based on the belief in large re-
turns from the ginners in census bureau
reports tomorrow morning.
The opening was quiet with prices TO
points up on good cables and the spot
revision in New York yesterday afternoon,
which was generally called bullish in
fluence. No real strength or buying power
developed in the early trading, and at
their highest the trading months were
only to 4 points over yesterdays close.
During the morning session prices fuct-
uated quickly between levels 1 point above
and to points below yesterdays final
figures. In the afternoon the market fell
terday's last quotations. The close was
steady at a net loss of to II points.
The weather map again was very favor
able and the outlook appeared to be for
little change. This might have led to
selling but for kilograms from important
sections of the belt stating that the crop
was anywhere from 95 to 9S per cent
picked.
