Most Of these spring days are pleas
ant; but still great many people are
suspicious that there may be more or
less winter hanging around yet.
Mr.. w. M. Wallace, a hard-workin'
young farmer of Smyrna, has been
hard hit by the loss Of two mules worth
$3.50 in the last thirty days.
Dredge and ditch the creeks and
bring the rich alluvial bottoms back
into cultivation. That statute which
requires that streams be cleared Of
trash, RATS, etc, is good one, and has
proved of value where it has been
obeyed; but 1t is not enough. The
creeks should be ditched.
The story Of the naming Of Whita-
ker Mountain as related in Logan's
history Of Upper South Carolina, is
about the same as it was once told the
editor of The Enquirer by the late Col.
John Logan Black, except that accord
ing to Col. Blacks version, Sally Whit
aker had a rifle with her and killed the
panther. 1t is quite possible that Mr..
Ira Hardin of Blacksburg, whose faith
er, Aaron Hardin, was born before the
year 1900, and who lived in the neigh
borhood all his long life, can give us
something more definite about the old
tradition.
A great many people are under the
impression that annual postal receipts
Of $4,000 entitle a town to public
building This is a mistake. There
are hundreds of towns throughout the
United States whose postal receipts
amount to $4,000 and $4,000 year or
over and which have no public build
ings, and there are many other towns
with postal receipts amounting to con-
considerably less than $4,000 which
have public buildings. The securing Of
an appropriation for public building
depends as much on wire pulling as it
does on annual postal receipts and
very often it depends more on wire
pulling.

the fact that it has been less than
twenty five years since these countries
had~the liens share in our own COM
modities of this nature. But now
American manufacturers are compel
ing with the foreigners in their own
home markets. and; it is up, to this
country to make greater efforts to
break into the more profitable markets
of South and Central America. One of
the biggest drawbacks in the way is
that we have no merchant marine; but
we are in closer proximity and with
the completion Of the canal we will
have a still further advantage. The
full development Of the South Ameri-
can trade will contribute tremendously
to the prosperity of the south and the
people Of the south should be ready to
encourage every really broad minded
effort that might be attempted in this
direction.

how to edit a newspaper better thar
the editor arises out Of belief tha

The Duke warehouse plan is all right
except for one thing. That one thing Is
that the profit will go mainly to those
who invest their money instead OF to
the cotton producers. 1t is all right
to argue that the opportunity for in
vestment will be open to all classes,
including the farmers; but only small
per cent Of the farmers are able to take
hold. We would rather see state
owned warehouse system that would
give all the cotton producers a show.

The development Of southern trade
with South America so ably discussed
by President Fairfax Harrison Of the
Southern railway at Greenville the

Importance to the south than most
people think. While it may be true
that we have but few individuals who
expect to take direct part in that trade
there are not many individuals who
are without indirect interest. That
European countries now have the lions
share of Central and South American
trade in manufactured commodities is
not surprising. especially in view Of

In a decision handed down We'd

decision in the case Of the town Of Dill

purpose" In his opinion affirming the
decision in the case Of Dillon vs. Sa-

THE uncontradicted evidence shows
that all cider contains some alcohol;
that at the places where cider was
sold the rough element OF the commu.

boisterous and in some cases, intoxi-

at such places, and that they were In
fact nuisances; that since the sale or
cider has been stopped such nuisances
have been abated and much better or

ground that 1t is unconstitutional Sec

police power and violates no provision
