CHERAW CHESTERFIELD COUNTY. s. c., MARCH s. 1914


From the Columbia State.
Cheraw. Feb. 26.-The Cheraw Ly-
ceum had its regular monthly meet
ing at the club rooms last night The
supjecs for debate was. Should
Property be Assessed for Taxation at
it's full value" Owing to the ex-
tremeiy cold weather there was a
small attendance. but the subject was
ably discussed.
William Godfrey. who is a member
of both the county and State board OF
equalization, opened the debate. He
pointed out the inadequate system of
listing property in this State, by
which $4,000 acres in small trac-s
here and there in the country, or by
old and unreliable surveys, were not
on the tax books at all, and said that
the adoption OF the Torrens system
of land registration would cure this
evil. He also mentioned that tha' o
was great inequality in returning
property, not only in the different
coun.des but in different sections Of
the same county, ranging all the way
from 7 to 80 per cent, and in a few
cases to 100 per cent. of the true val
ue. "A mule in rich Marlboro is re-
turned fo~ less than one in poor
Chesterfield. A dishonest tax payer
lists his property for much less tnan
the same property would be returned

THE REAL LANCASTER.

The hypocrisy of George Lancaster
wanting. 1t seems adequate to any
and every occasion. In the ecstacy of
his double-facedness he enters upon
every fresh effort to fool the people
with the greatest glee. If he can play
the reformers and revolutionists by
pretending to be an ultra radical and
at the same time huxter himself to
the bourgeoise and figure in the ranks
of the most profoundly conservative,
his happiness is complete. But of all
the deceptive and two-tongued stunts
the foxy George ever pulled off, the
banner one is his equivocal letter pub
lished in the newspapers last week
where he pretends that he is a candi-
date for retirement at the close of the
present term of school in this CITY,
Would to God it were true, but it isn't
He played the same trick on Ostrander
and it worked; and now he expects to
lull to sleep the opposition of all those
who, having found him out for an I'M
desirable citizen that he is, will not
vote for any candidate favorable to
him. In this way he hopes to get his
ticket elected and then-POP! In
goes Mr.. Lancaster.
We call upon all the host of those
who consider that he should be re-
tired to join with us; and in order
that all may know the position of
Arlington local, of the Socialist party
upon this important subject, it is
unanimously
Resolved, that we pledge ourselves
and our candidates in case of their
election next March, that Mr.. Lancas-
ter shall have his pretended wish;
for one of the very first acts of So
cialist board would be to seek some
way to retire him at the earliest prac-
ticable moment, and certainly no So
cialist would contract with him for an
other term. Therefore a vote for
Jesperson and Caswell is the only
hope of those who desire to get rid
of Lancaster.

LOCAL SILVANA PASSES
RESOLUTIONS.

Editor Commonwealth:
Silvana Socialist Local, State OF
Washington, hereby wishes to endorse
resolutions of Local Mt. Vernon in re-
gard to the accepting of money from
the outlaw Socialist faction of this
state by the national executive COM
mittee. We believe that it is a grave
injustice to the regular party organi-
cation for the N. e. G. to aid and
recognize the so-called yellows in this
manner, and will protest to the COM
mittee direct and through the party
press against the acceptance by the
N. e. C. of any money from this
source. Decision at regular meeting
of Local Sunday, February 8, 1914.

J. M. salter Elected Secretary Of Edu
eatlonal Bureau.

The meeting last Sunday, in Seattle
of the state executive committee, was
one of the most important for some
time past.
Comrade Kingery was elected secre-
tary of newly created department
to push the eight-hour initiative.
Mrs Kate Sadler was elected state
woman's correspondent in the place of
Mrs. II. II. Elbie, who had resigned.
Comrade ]. NJ. Salter, principal of
the Silvana schools, was elected seere-
tary of the educational bureau, sue
ceeding Comrade Sinclair. Comrade
Salter was elected secretary-treasurer
of the newly organized International
Teachers Union during the recent con-
vention of the Socialist teachers,
which met in Everett few weeks
ago. Comrade Salter has been an eff
cient and well-grounded worker in the
Socialist movement for many years,
and his election to his present dual
office is but fitting tribute to his
faithful and capable services to the
cause.
A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions relating to the situation in
Seattle and elsewhere in regard to the
attitude of the N. e. C.'s dealing with
the outlawed faction.
The Eight-hour League was repre-
scented at the meeting by committee
offering to cooperate with the Social
list party in furthering the progress OF
the eight-hour initiative.

Whereas, it has come to our notice
that N. E. C. of the S. P. has accepted
money from an organization independ-
ent of, and opposed to the S. P. of
Washington, and has asked our state
secretary to show cause why due
stamps should not be issued for same;
and
Whereas, this high-handed proceed
ure is a direct and fragrant violation
of the S. p national constitution,
under which the N. e. c. is supposed
to be operating; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we, Local No. 2, S. P.
of edro-Woolley, request the N. e. c.
to reconsider their action and in the
future comply with the provisions of
the national constitution when treating
with these imposters; and be it further
Resolved, that copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the Commonwealth
and Socialist Worker for publication
and to the state and national executive
committees of the S. P.

DEMOCRACY IN MEXICO

Our correspondent writes from
Mexico to the effect that the trade
union and political movement of the
workers is almost completely sup
pressed in consequence of the contin-
uation of the civil war. It is impos-
sible to hold meetings in most of the
towns, the few progressive labor pa
pers have been suppressed and agita-
tors shot, arrested or sent out of the
country. In spite of all this there are
still number of strikers in the in
dustrial districts, but they are sup
pressed with brutality which cannot
be worse even in Russia-they are lit
orally smothered in blood. At the re-
cent elections the workers put forward
their candidates, but, as was to be ex-
pected, without success. In many
ents of the present regime were fore
IDLY prevented from giving their votes.
The unjustifiable baseness with which
the government managed" the cleo
ton is to be seen from the following
extract from decree which was sent
from the government to the governors
and which became public through the
usual chance happenings.
1. All mayors who belong to the
revolutionary party are to be removed
secretly from their positions.
2. Only trustworthy persons who
carry out their instructions without
delay may be appointed as election Of
ficers.
8. Care must be taken that cleo
lions take place in not more than one
third of the primary election districts.
4. Where election take place, suf-
ficient number of blank voting papers
must be available and used in order
that there will be an absolute major
ity for Gen. Huerta as president, and
for Gen. Banquet as vice-president.
5. Only such results as correspond
with these instructions are to be sent
to the parliament house.
6. Voters of all kinds may enter
as many protests as they like but
these are not to alter the result pre-
scribed in section A..
7. Trustworthy persons are to be
appointed to deal with such protests.
1t is not difficult to understand that
the workers, under such conditions,
must travel along very thorny path
before they reach efficiency in their
activities in economic and political
matters.

NEWS FROM LOCAL ADDY.

Saturday, January "a, l visited a
meeting of Local Addy, s. p. Place
of meeting is n new school house
about five miles from Addy town, out
in the timbered hills The weather
was rather unpleasant so the crowd
numbered only eighteen, three young
married ladies with their respective
husbands included.
The local was organized just lately
without any outside assistance, and
has at present twenty-seven members.
An elderly comrade, lately from
Kansas, had the bitter task of being
leader in debate defending capitalism;
sure he played his native wit and
satire bravely; SO did his partners,
but you could feel that they would
sooner choke brute capitalism's life
out, than defend it and be 1t only in
debate for practice and entertainment.
The Socialist side had an ex-Democrat
now a red hot revolutionist-for a
leader. His side won as matter of
course, I might say, for the judges,
the three ladies', are good Socialists.
And as we all know, or at least ought
to know, that just about everybody
is more or less prejudiced and partial
only most people are against their own
interests; so for this everyday newly
demonstrated fact-notice the short
end the laboring people get dished out
to them all over. except hardship we
are long on. So for this reason the
working people, us farmers included,
should elect only true representatives
of our cause to any office, high or
low.
