OF course there must be another big
political picnic at Filbert this year. The
rule there is to give all corners fair
show, and the rule seems to be about
as well understood by the candidates
as il Is by the people generally.
II is hardly safe to say that there Is
no moonshining in York county other
than in the north western corner; but
Il is quite certain that there Is more
of It in that locality than anywhere
else.
A paragraph in The Enquirer Of May
13, last year says: "The cool dry
weather Is quite trying on the crops.
II appears that the weather of last
wear has repeated itself, though there
is some reason to think today that the
cool spell Of the past ten days Is pref
ty well broken.
At the meeting Of the First Associ-
ate Reformed Presbytery at Hunters
Vile, last week, J. X. Henry. Esq, es-
capped election to moderate the fall
meeting to be held at Neely's Creek on
the ground that he would be busy at
court. II was the very evident inten-
ton Of the Presbytery to elect him to
preside over it's deliberations.
There is very little fuss being made
i'm the municipal campaign. The peo-
Die, however, are discussing the stu
alton with much interest. The prin-
cipal subjects Of interest are the mat
ters of light and water privileges and
publicity for the towns financial af-
fairs. There are people in the town
who hold to the doctrine that the mass
of taxpayers have no business know
ing what Is being done with their
money.
According to custom most of the
Democratic clubs in York county have
been sending representatives to the
county convention on basis OF one
delegate for each 25 votes cast in the
last preceding first primary. The rule
has always been that representation Is
based on one delegate for each twenty
Ave names on the club roll. Most OF
the clubs have been following the GUS
tom; but some have all along gone ac-
cording to the club roll which fire.
auently gives larger representation. 1t
will be well enough hereafter for all
the clubs to remember the rule and
govern themselves accordingly. AS a
matter of fact, however, this rule
should be amended so as to conform
with the York county custom which Is
really fairer than the rule, as it now
stands. But a new rule Of course
would have to make provision for the
organization Of new clubs.

The leaving of Messrs. Browning,
Irby and Simms out of the paragraph
in which we referred to the guberna-
torial candidates last Friday, was
purely inadvertent. What we said OF
the other candidates applies, in our
view, to them also. Our friend, the
Chester Reporter thinks we are bad
ly wrong in the idea that the race will
be between Messrs. McLaurin and
Manning. and suggests that in its
opinion both of these gentlemen will
be left out and that the final heat will
be between two of the other candi-
dates. The Reporter thinks that
Chester county sentiment has chang
ed. The Reporter. of course, is enti-
tied to its opinion; but we hold to
what we said, and our Chester friend
has permission to throw the matter
up to us after the fourth Tuesday in
August, if it should happen to be
still feeling that way about that time.

Most of the papers that are opposed
to Senator McIaurin are emphasizing

they do not understand the real nature
of the sentiment Mr.. McLaurin repre-

newspapers are looking for, just lei

injustice of the whole thing and de-
manded the right to n say-so either
way. 1t appears from investigation
that while the statute on the subject
of voting on dispensaries provided fol
elections either way, upon the cOdif-
cation of the laws in 1912, only sc
much of the statute as related to the
voting out of dispensaries was incor-
porated. The act adopting the code
makes it the only statue of the state
up to and including the date of its
adoption and that is held to repeal the
original statute.

The Charleston race track is
shame and a disgrace to the state OF
South Carolina. That is our view. 1t
means debauchery, decentralization and
ruin. But what is anybody going to
do about it? There is no lawful way
of enforcing law except through an
initial indictment by a grand jury. 1t
is seen to, that Charleston grand juries
are composed Of men who will not in
dict. If perchance it be decided to let
a grand jury indict, it would not be
so arranged until it was certain that
the petit jury could be depended upon
to acuuit. Then what is to be done?
The original plan Of the race track
people was to use both Charleston and
Columbia for their bookmaking. CO.
lumbia is little, If any better than
Charleston from the standpoint OF OBJ
serving the law; but it will be remem-
bered that there were those in Column
bia who were unwilling to submit, and
as the result of their aggression, the
race track people decided that 1t would
be best to confine their operations to
Charleston. They feared that if they
tried to get too much they would get
nothing. But don't let any one get the
idea that they feared Columbia. What
they feared was the sturdy determina-
ton of the earnest, honest and practi-
cal people of the upper part of the
state They knew that the location OF
the race track in Columbia would the
sooner arouse these and the whole
business would the sooner be wiped
off the map. But it is going to take
a long time to run horse racing. book.
making and the attendant evils out OF
Charleston. We see no hope OF such a
thing until the juries are composed or
a different type of men from what
they are, and as both Charleston par
ties are so nearly identical in all their
methods, there is little reason to hope
that the law-abiding element Will ever
get much of a show on the juries.

The Greenville Piedmont says that
it would be as easy to put eleven po-

it would be to tell which of the two
