THE PEOPLE TIRED OF ELECTIONS.

The Times is not alone in the
view that the legislature should
not be petitioned to provide for a
special election on the question
of state. wide prohibition in 1915:
many hold this view, even some
who are >Prohibitionists from
principle and not from politics,
these think if the matter is to
be agitated at all, and it is the
will of a majority to have prohi'
bition, that majority will can be
obtained more effectually by the
petitioners asking for direct
action, instead of a referendum.
The objection to an election is,
it brings on an unnecessary agi-
tation, it provides a scheme for
a few men to be employed at the
expense of those who are urged
to subscribe, and, instead of
having a good effect, it is calcu-
lated to have a demoralizing
effect. There are too frequent
elections now, the more we have
the less interest is taken: and,
unless our people do take more
interest in the future, advantage
will be taken of their lethargy
and an undesirable awakening
will be realized.
There is no need for an elec-
ton to determine the question
whether Or not South Carolina
is ready to enact a statewide
prohibition law, it can be ascer.
tanned by petitioning the gen
eral assembly TO pass such an
Act; if the majority of the
voters by their signatures say
they want their representatives
to so vote we have no doubt
they will do so, even tho they
do not believe in the principle
of prohibition, they would regard
a petition signed by a majority
of their constituents as an in.

:sDear Sir-I showed your
warehouse receipts to several
business men in New York. The

would be well worth the extra

The warehouse Act does moi
give the commissioner as much
authority as he desired, but it is
hoped the next session Of the
general assembly will perfect il
so the commissioner can be in a
position to negotiate loans at 6
low rate of interest. Commis
sioner McLaurin's original bill
would have given him the auth

money at rate of interest tha'
would have been an inducemen'

Fire Extinauisher.

It was quite by accident that the
discovery was made that ammonia
would extinguish burning oil. a bot
tie Of ammonia saved a family great
loss by fire. The gasoline stove
sprung leak and the fluid caught fire,
spreading rapidly. One Of the older
children coming into the room could
not reach the sink and get water to
throw ever the blaze as he thought
ought to be done, but had enough
presence Of mind to pour over it the
contents Of ar ammonia bottle that
stood near. AS it happened, it was
the very best thing he could have
done, as it quickly extinguished the
fire which water could not do. Now
the family keeps ammonia on hand in
two-quart sealed jar, anticipating the,
time when it may be needed again
for the same purpose.

accordingly.
To provide for a special cleo
ton to obtain will of the major
ity would be a waste of time and
energy, the majority will not
attend a general or a special
election, and, if an election is
held under strict observance
of the election law, as would be
the case, there would not be
lover 25 per cent of the total
vote cast at such election; no
one would for a moment contend
that such a vote reflects the SEN
timent of the people, yet it
would have the effect of placing
upon the statute books a law on
the pretense that the people
enacted it, and that it has the
sentiment of the masses to sus-
tain it.
We are personally opposed to
the principle of prohibition, have
always been, but, we concede
there is a large element who
favor that principle and would
like to see it enacted into law,
we are not speaking of the pol
|itical-prohibitionists, we refer
solely to the true Prohibitionist;
| if these signed a petition it
would have ten times the weight
with US than all of the other
class put together. Our per-
sonal opposition to prohibition
does not prejudice our mind in
the least, nor does it cause US to
lose sight Of the fact that rep
resentatives in a laW-maklng
body are not chosen to present
their Individual views alone: but
that they are subject to the IN
lstructions of their constituency,
and if a majority OF the constlt-
uency of a county petitioned
Its representatives to vote for
statewide prohibition, those
petitioned would, have to so vote
or resign. Therefore we say the
petitioning of the general assem-
bly, for a special election is en-
tirely unnecessary. Such an
lelection asked for at this time
lust after an election which did
mot consider the question on the

as low a rate of interest as three

Very respectfully,
Cole L. Blease,
Governor.
l notice Mr.. Jones and Mr..

no objections. 1 notice Mr..
Jones says that he will pay cut
no more school money unless
this money is borrowed. A very
nice suggestion to your money.
lenders-put your bid as high as
you please-we need the money
for the schools-we are obliged
to have it-you need not make
a low bid-but make it as high
as you want-the State needs the
money to run her schools. I al
so see implied in this remark a
threat. that if the Governor does
not take part in the loan, that
the responsibility for closing the
schools will be upon his head,
but that is a mistake. If the
people do not want their schools
closed, ell that they have to do
will be to pay their taxes to the
County Treasures. The Coun-
ty Treasurers will send it to the
State Treasurer, and there will
be sufficient amount of money to
run the Government and the
schools without borrowing a
dollar. If the people do not pay
their taxes, and the schools
should be closed, the response
bility will be with those who
failed to pay and not with those
who failed to borrow at an eXor-
bitant rate of interest. And: I
report, I shall have absolutely
nothing whatever to 90 with the
borrowing of this money and
shall not put my name on any
paper. Therefore, if the peo.
pie do not want their schools to
close, let them pay their taxes.
| If it is-a hardship upon them to
pay their taxes, let them curse
| the men they elected and sent to
the Legislature, and not the
Governor, for he certainly did
his part in trying to get them tc
relieve conditions and they re-
fused to do so. Now, if the peo-
pie will pay their taxes, the
schools will run on, the Govern.
ment viii run On, and these
lsame taxpayers will be saved
paying more exorbitant interest
lon a hundred Or hundred and
fifty thousand dollar loan. II
they don't do it, let the respon.
1sibility go where it belongs.

tween the borrowing of money
now and the borrowing of mon.

May or June, there were no tax.

es to collect and the people could
not relieve the situation at that
time. Now, it is absolutely un-
necessary to borrow if the peo-
pie viii pay, and as the Legisla-
ture said that they would not ex-
tend the time, I see no redress
for the suffering people but for
them to obey the mandate of the
Legislature or suffer the result.
