MAIL ORDER HOUSES WILL NOT OBJECT.

The anti saloon league leaders
and the leaders for referendum
at a conference at Spartanburg
Monday agreed to work together.
to nrge the legislature to submit
the question of State. wide pro-
hibition to a special election,
from this we assume that the
legislature will not be asked to
enact a prohibition law. 1t is
our sincere belief a prohibition
law can be put through at the
coming session just as easy as a
referendum proposition, and we
cannot see the wisdom of putting
of the. inevitable, unless it be
that if the legislature takes dl-
rect action, it will obviate the
necessity of salaried men to go
about the State making a fight
for a. cause that will have no serl-
Gus opposition. Any student of po
litical history can realize what
the result of the referendum will
be; those opposed to the prlnci-
pie of prohibition realize the
uselessness of trying to win at
the ballot box, and they will not
make any serious effort, except
perhaps in one or two counties,
will interest be taken by them,
and even in these we doubt
whether the opposition can help
itself.

A PROSECUTED CREATURE.

The United States Supreme
Court has decreed that Harry
K. Thaw must be extradited
back to New York where he
must stand trial on the charge
conspiracy, which means that if
he is adjudged not guilty he will
be sent back to Matteawan. This
is a case which has excited the
sympathy of the world, and if
left to the people by a popular
vote, Thaw would be released.
Had the court declared ThaW
guilty of the murder of Stand
ford White, the country at large
would have been satisfied with
the verdict, but inasmuch as. he
was acquitted on the ground that
he was insane at the time OF the
commission of the deed, the con-
tinuence of his prosecution IS
regarded persecution. There
never was a case that has been
as severely fought; it went
through the legal tribunals of
this country and Canada, and 1t
is still being continued, and we
have no doubt but that as long
as the Thaw family have any
money the lawyers interested
will keep the legal machinery
running.

MILL INTERESTS WANT COTTON PLANTED

In Oklahoma night riders have
been at work to force the hold
ing of cotton and the reduction
Of the cotton acreage, and within
the past few days fifty of this
lawless element have been ar.
rested. 1t is unfortunate indeed
for conditions to be such that
extreme measures are resorted
to, but South Carolina, we are
glad to say, is free from this
kind of lawlessness. The legis-
lature, at the extra session,
enacted a cotton acreage act with
a view of fixing a policy to meet
conditions, but whether the law
will be regarded remains to be
seen, at any rate. to have passed
the law is much better than the
methods employed by other
states that are using violence.
We note that Representative
Boyd of Spartanburg proposes
to introduce a bill to repeal the
cotton acreage reduction Act,
but if our recollection serves US
correctly, Mr.. Boyd was among
the number to oppose this legis.
lation at the last session. He
represents a large cotton mill
county and all of the represen-
tatives of such counties opposed
all propositions which tended to
bring relief, or that in any way
may have affected the cotton
mill interests. We doubt if the
legislature will take a backward
step, because it is recognized
that another full crop Of cotton
grown the coming year will only
add to the burden now upon US.

and the relationship that existed

was more like brothers than
employer and employee. He

health permitted he would have
been brought forward to take
the place of his chief when his
labors ended.

PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
pauHIssrlos ACROSS rae RIVER.

The Edgefeld Chronicle IS
urging a State. wide prohibition
law enacted in this State to pre-
vent the people of Augusta from
crossing over the river to North
augusta TO buy liquor. The in
terence being that if the North
Augusta dispensary was closed
prohibition could be enforced in
Augnsta. The whole State OF
Georgia is operating under pro
Mibition laws and get it IS a no.
torlous fact that in the principal
cities Of that State the law is ig-
nored, and liquor is not only sold
openly but the cities license it
SO be sold. We take from the Au-
gnsta Chronicle of Sunday a
leading editorial which bears di.
rectly on this matter, and proves
conclusively that the dispensary
winch the Edgefeld Chronicle
complains of has very little ef-
feet on the consumption of liquor
IN the city across the river, and
it also proves conclusively that
Che prohibition laws in Georgia
are impotent in the communities
where the population is not in
sympathy with them. The Au-
) gusta Chronicle favors the en-
forcement of the law, but it
seems that the authorizes are
not so disposed, but to the con.
trary. the council wants the rev.
enue derived from the traffic.
Here is what The Chronicle
Eery pointedly says:
'sThe Chronicle would not be
frank with the public if it did
not confess itself disappointed,
bnt not surprised, at the action
of the city council of Augusta,
on Friday night, in the matter
of fixing the saloon license and
saloon regulations in Augusta
for next year.
It had been generally under
stood, for some days past, that
council would refuse to interfere
with the present status Of the
saloon business in Augusta; for
Individual members of council
have freely expressed their po.
sition on the question-enough
Of them doing so, IN fact, to
make the presence of the law
enforcement committee in the
council chamber Friday night
seem somewhat superauous, if
not altogether hopeless and fu-
tile at the outset.
There were two points, in the
made by a majority OF

just what will be done at the
coming session of the legislature
about the taxes cannot be pre-
dicted, but this much can be
said, that the legislature should
do something about extending
the time of payment withou6
penalty, as it is impossible for
many to meet the requirements
of the government before jan
uary. People in all walks of life
are put to it to get the necessa-
ries of life and they have not
the money to pay their taxes,
something will have to be done
to help such, and it should be
the first matter considered when
the legislature assemblies.

Petitions asking the general
assembly to order a special elec-
tion for statewide prohibition
law are being circulated in Clar-
endon. Committees have been
appointed in all sections of the
county to secure signatures. The
signers are not committed to
vote for prohibition should the
election be ordered, but are
merely asked to permit the
question to be submitted, how
ever, it can be taken as sure
thing that the signers in asking
for the election will vote affirm

tlty, express the Individual views
and convictions of each and ev-
cry member thereof, the mayor
included. We would hate to
think mat.
We believe, on the contrary,
that practically every member
of council, deep down in his
heart, does not fail to recognize
the fact that the people who Pc
titioned for law enforcement IN
this community-wel], even for
better enforcement of the law,
if there be those who wish to
sickle on this point really rep.
resented the best interests of
the community in this matter,
and that they were acting both
unsel6shly and patrioticaily in
undertaking this movement; in
fact, we believe that a majority
of the members of council would
themselves, like to see the law
enforced in Augusta. We would
| hate to think otherwise.
And now, what are we going
to do about it? Do you want to
know? Listen:
When enough representative,
responsible people want the sale
of whisky and all other intoxi-
cants in violation of law stopped
in Augusta
And are not afraid to come
right out in the open and say so,
as large number OF their citi-
zens have already done, and
And willing to go down into
their pockets to make up any
lloss of revenue that the city
might sustain thereby; or are
willing to see some of the pres
ent heavy expenses Of the city
curtailed, and
Are willing to forego a little
revenue from rents for a time
as, at least, two good women
propertyholders in Augusta
have done, rather than rent
their property for saloon pur-
poses
They will get law enforcement
in Augusta; complete eradica-
tion of the liquor traffic in open,
fragrant violation of law, in this
otherwise good old city-and not
before.
So let's don't try to vent our
wrath. or ease our own con-
science, by merely abusing coun-
Gil for it's refusal to act-as mis-
taken as is it's position in the
premises-but let's just walk
right up and face our own re
sponsibility for the situation and
the continuance thereof. There
is a divided responsibility in this
matter; and there is no escape
from it for those people who are
either afraid or unwilling to
lspeak out against it, or who are
unwilling to make some personal
or community ''sacrihce"-if it
can be called such-to secure
law enforcement and uphold
their city S good name.
In the meantime, we would
respectfully suggest that this
class of citizens kindly refralp
from passing the buck" up to
the newspapers, by asking them
to raise cain" about local con-
ditions during the next twelve
months. AS for ourselves. we

APATRI0T AND STATESMAN.

South Carolina met with a sad
loss in the death of Senator P.
l.. Hardin of Chester. He was
one of the most foremost men in
the Senate. He was chairman
of the finance committee, and
president protein of the Senate,
and in these positions he exer'
cised splendid judgment. He
took deep interest in all mat
ters for the welfare of the State,
was broad and conservative in
his views, and always kind and
courteous to his fellows. Sena'
tor Hardin was the soul of hon.
or, and possessed a most lovable
disposition; when presiding, eth
er at the head of his committee,
or in the senate he was firm but
kind and considerate. His frank
ness was one of his admirable
traits, and when politics creeped
into the proceedings he frowned
upon it and endeavored to use his
influence to stamp it out. Re
gardless of factional differences
Senator Hardin had the welfare
of the State at heart and could
not be swerved from his course.
He was an ideal man and Sena-
Tor and his absence from that
body will be sincerely mourned.

confess, we don't feel so very

who aren't afraid to stand up to
be shot at.

bQOS6 memOerS OF COUNCIL WuO
favored 3 continuance of the
present system; and we assume
that we can afford to be as frank
about the matter as they have
been. These were:
First THE city of Augusta
needs, and cannot afford to do
without, the money approx
imately 100000 per annum)
that is now derived from the
sale of saloon licenses.
Second-Tbat there can be no
middle ground between absolute
prohibition of all intoxicating
beverages, beer included, and
the open, officially recognized
sale of any and all intoxicants;
in other words, that by reducing
the license to $500 and permit
ting the sale of beer, the city
would lose-if the number of
licenses were restricted to fifty
about SIS, 900 annual revenue,
and that whisky and other like
intoxicants would be sold, just
the same.
While we can not agree with
either of these views; certainly
not to the extent of thinking
they are not far outweighed by
other and more vital considera-
tions; we can, nevertheless, re-
cognize them as carrying very
great weight with, at least, four
classes of people, to wit:
Firt. city councilmen and city
officials who feel very deeply
the city,s present financial
needs.
Second, landlords who rent
property to saloon-keepers and
those dependent upon the saloon
traffic.
Third, many business men and
taxpayers; the former unwilling
to see conditions disturbed at
such an ''inopportune'' time,
and the latter unwilling to stand
even a slight increase in the tax
rate, in order to make up for any
deficiency that might be created
by the loss in revenue from the
saloon traffic.
Fourth, the saloon men, them
selves, and all of their friends
and associates and employees
who. openly and frankly, want
to see the liquor traffic contin-
ued in Augusta, law or no law.
Of course, there were many
other "reasons,'' such, for in.
stance, as the North Augusta
dispensary; the flaw" in the
State prohibition law; the short
time given the men engaged IN
the business for any proposed
change, etc; but, on the whole,
we think the four arguments, as
above set forth, express the con-
trolling influences that have
caused Augusta to 60 on record,
once more, as being willing to
officially recognize-even if she
does not, really approve-the
open sale of Intoxicating liquors
within her borders, in violation
of a State law.
We attempt to make these
points very clear, for the reason
that we think the situation
points to a divided responsiblli-
ty; in other words, that the ac-
tion of council does not, in real

In conclusion permit me to say,
encourage everyone disposed to ven
ture into new lines in farming. Help
him to find market for his products,
and, if you are one of the merchants
of one of our county's towns, invite
him to bring you his products and
pay him a living price, thus doing
yourself something for home indus
try" Again cooperate at all times
in the building of, or in the bringing
into the county, or into its towns
every possible enterprise calculated
to bring more population, greater
wealth, and to create greater and
more diversified markets for the
farmer. Thus will your county grow
in wealth and population, thus will
every dollar you may expend in the
furtherance of such enterprises come
back with compound interest.
