ment requiring thought, one of
the most conservative in the
State. 1t is never extravagant
in it's statements or conclusions,
and always advocates what it
conscientiously believes to be for
the general welfare, and, because
of it's careful study of public
questions, it is frequently chided
by the impetuous and ultra
press. We have been a reader
of The Enquirer for many years,
and it's editorial utterances are
giI en- the most serious consider
alton by US, therefore. when
such a newspaper stakes it's rep
utation with it's endorsement Of
views similar to ours, We feel
that we are IN excellent company.

fuential Spartauburg members,
MIR. Carlisle in the Senate, and
Mr.. Boyd in the house, started a
big flibuster that resulted in the
holding up OF the bill until it
was too late to get the PROPOSE
tion to the people, and that was
all-there was to it. All that
stuff about the danger involved
and the dozens of puerile argu,
ments to show why it would

the bonds was just that much

notwithstanding the represen-
tations made in the editorial col

State, to the effect that if the
bond issue went through it
would be impossible to float the

purchasing.
One Of the principal arguments
to prejudice the voter, in case
he was permitted to have a voice
in this matter, and, which was
of vital concern to him, and to the
business interests of his State,
was, that if South Carolina issued
these relief bonds they could not
be disposed Of, yet, from the

it seems such bonds would
have been eagerly sought after,
with a strong probability Of
bringing a premium. But, what's
the use, the bonds were not is

The recent elections through
out the United States brought to
the Republican party consider
able gains. In fact. that party
reduced an overwhelming Dem
ocratic majority 10 very slight
majority, if a majority at all.
While it is disappointing to have
our majority in congress reduced
to the point where the independ-
ent member may have the bal
ance Of power on close questions,
and perhaps, questions involv,
ing the interests of the South,
yet, it cannot be construed as a
rebuke to the administration OF
President Wilson. The gain can
be largely attributed to the re-
turn of the Republicans to their
first love. Two years ago a very
large proportion of that party
followed Col. Roosevelt into the
Progressive party as a reouke
to the Republicans that robbed
Roosevelt of the nomination for
the presidency, now however,
they have returned to their orig
inal moorings, and will be pre-
pared to march to the polls IN
solid phalanx in the next nation
al contest. The only way to
prevent them from regainlng
the possession of the govern,
ment IS Tor the congress to fol
low the wise counsels Of their
leader President Wilson.

TIE INTERESTS STILL FIGHTING.

augurate the scheme, but before
he has had an opportunity to
develope his plans, be is met at
the Threshold by the semi
dictatlon from the Columbia State
telling him he must place the
warehouse su5ordinates under a
civil service system, and, prac-
ticany calling upon the coming
session of the legislature to
abolish the undertaking. The
Record owned largely by E. W.
Robertson, and others who are
interested in the cotton mills, is
also throwing itself across the
path of Senator McLaurin's ad.
ministration by criticising his
appointments of assistants. The
frs criticism it made was of the
ppointment of Col. J. K. Aull
as secretary. Colonel Aull VII
have nothing whatever to do
with administering the affairs of
the warehouse, his part of the
work will be entirely clerical,
then The Record objects to the
appointment of Mr.. J. A. Drake
of Bennettsville as Inspector OF
Warehouses, because Senator
McLaurin's son married Mr..
brakes daughter. It will be
remembered that Secretary Nc
Adoo married President Wilson's
daughter, but The Record does
not object to Mr.. McAdoo con-
tinuing his job in the cabinet.
It does seem to US, it would be
far better for the corporate-con-
trolled newspapers to wait until
this warehouse system gets un-
der way, and then if they have
any criticisms Of it's management
1t will be interesting to hear
from them. Had Senator Nc
Laurin consulted Mr.. E. ".
Robertson, the principal owner
of The Record, as who he should
appoint to assist him to inaugu-
rate the warehouse system. we
have no doubt he would have

to those who hope to fatten up
their miseries, the human in
|stinct of self preservation be-
comes so strong that advice to
bear their troubles like martyrs
will be brushed aside like chaff
before a storm.
The corporate interests sue
ceeded in preventing remedial
legislation; in this, they had as
their allies the daily newspapers
of this State-every one of them
are corporations, many of their
stockholders are interested in
the cotton mills whose interest
it was to prevent the remedial
legislation, because, had the leg
islature brought on the relief
proposed, it would have meant
the locking up from the market
the cotton, or forced the cotton
manufacturing interests to pay a
price inducing to sell; it would
also have had the effect of res
cuing the man from the grasp of
the mercenary shark and give
him release from the mortgage
about to crush him.
1t would have lifted
the heads of a prou d
and honest people now bowed in
humiliation; it would have spur
red them on for the years to
come, instead of being despond-
ent and in dispair. Had those in
the legislature not been tharwted
in their statemenship and pa
triotism, the masses who are
taxed to support this govern
ment would have hsa cause to
invoke the blessings Of heaven
upon them.
Had the people been given a
fair opportunity to think over
the proposed offer of relief after
it had been fairly explained to
them: and then, they had rejected
it, we should have bowed to their
will with the meekness that be
comes all good citizens, because
in this great country of ours the
peoples voice is second only to
the voice of God, bCt when we
know the people were deprived
of this privilege because of sim
lister purposes on the part Of a
a minority element who repre-
sent the corporate wealth, and
who, by false representations:
m;sled and confused a large
proportion of the electorate of
the State, we cannot force our
self to silence. And as so long as
We have the strength of mind and
body. we shall endeavor to ex-
pose the tricks of the element
responsible for the continued
tribulations of the masses, and,
