Warehouse Commissioner Nc
Laurin has been to Washington
and New York confering with
the government and the financial
magnates to interest them in the
cotton certificates issued by the
state warehouse system: and
with those be came in contact
with. the plan was encouraged.
When the Legislature meets
again the warehouse Act will be
perfected, and then the cotton
growers will be able to handle
the marketingof their product
in a manner to prevent the spec
ulators from getting the cotton
at less than it's value.

The Petrograd correspondent

The Petrograd correspondent
has had the Germans defeated
so many times, that it begins to
look as if the soldiers of the
Kaiser are more victorious in de-
feat than in victory. Notwith-
standing the partizan reports
from English and Russian sour
ces it is evident that the, war has
not reached it's summit, and that
the allies are not making prog,
ress towards annihilating Ger
many. The great victory the
Russians claimed in Poland
turns out to have been greatly
exaggerated, and instead of de-
feating the German and Aus
trian troops. the boot is on the
other leg, and the Allies have
been repuIsed by the counter at,
tacks of the Germans. All OF
the dispatches are so colored
that it is impossible to learn any
thing defnate from them; if the
reader had kept strict account
of the number of Germans killed,
wounded and captured, it would
have shown about five times the
number of all the men that were
under arms from the beginning
to the present.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1914-12-02

The recent turning loose OF
convicts by the governor is be-
ing severely criticised y the
press generally, and while the
number turned loose does seem
to be unusual, none of the news
papers have undertaken to go
into the causes which prompted
the governor for exercising
clemency. The only case from
this county was that OF }. Z.
Barfeld, convicted OF man
slaughter, in this case there was
a large petition, backed up by
some of the county officials. The
governor will report to the gen
eral assembly his reasons for
paroling and pardoning so many
convicts, and it will then be
seen whether or not hewas Justl'
fed, until then it will be we'll to
withhold criticism.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1914-12-02

Since the horrible crime com
mitted by a trusty on the Sum
ter county chaingang, there is a
growing demand for the law to
be repealed which permits all
convicts regardless of the crime
to be put on the gang instead OF
the penitentiary. We never did
think it was wise to permit those
who commit high crimes to go to
the gangs, but the demand for
convicts on the public highways
was so strong that the lawma<'
ers responded, and it will be a
hard matter to change back to
the old plan.

pARTlAIITY SHOWN.

The Springfield Republican in
speaking of the pardons granted
by Governor Blease says. SIT
can only be said in extenuation
that the criminal law and the
penal system of South Carolina
are somewhat out of date and
many of the governors pardons
are corrections of injustice to
individuals" The News and
Courier takes issue and 'sAatly
denies that either the criminal
law or the penal system OF South
Carolina, whatever their short
comings are so antiquated as to
Justify or excuse Governor
Blease's pardon record"
Regardless of the denial OF the
News and Courier there is some
thing in the observations Of the
Springfield Republican. In the
enforcement Of the criminal law
of South Carolina it frequently
occurs that the friendless are
given sentences out of proper
ton to the crime of which they
were convicted, environment and
circumstances are not considered, |,
while those with friends get of
with fines or minimum sentences,
the frieldless are sentenced to
hard labor, and it is required OF
them, while those with friends
are permitted to perform light
labor. The constitution forolds
corporal punishment, yet cor
poral punishment is practlced
both in the penitentiary and on
the chaingangs. But notwith
standing the law and the pun
ishment is not impartially en-,
forced, it does not justify the
opening the gates of our penaI
institutions for the liberation o1
criminals.

There is an unfortunate situa,

There is an unfortunate situa.
ton in Columbia and we fear it
is going to embarass the schools.
The borrowing board composed
of the gvvernor, treasurer and
comptroller general sent out let
tiers asking for bids for the bor-
rowing of $4,000 to meet the
expenses of the State govern
ment, the lowest bid received
was 5 per cent. Governor Blease
refused to sign the note on the
ground that the rate Of interest
was too high, and unless the
taxes are paid promptly the
schools may suffer. Not so long
ago the State was able to bor-
row money at a much lower
rate, and the governor gave
notice that he would refuse to
sign any notes which carried a
high rate of interest. There is
no doubt that the money string
ency has made it difficult to OBJ
tain money at all, therefore we
think the governor in his anx'
iety to save the taxpayers makes
a mistake when he does not take
into consideration the conditions
now prevailing. at the sametime
the source from which money
can be secured should also con-
slider the vast amounts of money
they handle belonging to the
State. But regardless of who is
right Or wrong the officials en-
trusted with the care of the f.
nances should not permit the in
creased rate of interest to hamp-
er the running of the schools,
and we hope the matter will be
adjusted so that our schools vii.
not be interferred with. To close
the schools because of a differ
ence of opinion as to the proper
rate of interest on money Woulc
be more harmful than to pay ar
eXOrbitant rate.

PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
r 8 pgosAeE SAITH THE COURT.

The United States Supreme
Gours has rendered a decision
which viii put q stop to a prac-
tice that has prevailed for a long
time. tis a common practice
Tor farmers to pay the fines OF
she courts imposed upon a GER
fain class, and then enter a con.
tract with them to work ont SAID
fines. The case grew out OF the
Indictment OF Alabama planters
who secured labor by paying
fines and the costs of the courts,
and then placing the laborers
under s.labor contracts" to work
out8he fines imposed. The court
held it was peonage, which car
ries with it a severe penalty. The
labor centraetsystem, originally
intended to serve good pur-
pose, has been perverted from
its original intention to afford
an opportunity to impose upon
the lsborer as well as upon the
farmer. The scheme has been
worked so that it is difficult for
a farmer to employ labor with
ont first having to pay a con-
siderable sum to some one who
has a claim against the man tc
be employed. It amounts to buy
ing the laborer: and frequently
resulting in the employer losing
she money he was compelled tc
nav, and the decentralization OF
farm labor. It frequently hap
pens that labor contracts are
given for money borrowed at an
: exorbitant interest, with no in
tention of using the labor. bu'
TO collect when the laborer is
in the employment Of another:
then If the claim is uot paid the
criminal court is appealed to-
which amounts to using the
criminal machinery to collec'
unjust debts.
