form OF constructive legislation for
the future. He has done this because
he is very anxious for the people to
have ample time to study and digest
the changes he proposes. In other
words, he does not want this high
position because he is good fell
low or a cOngenial companion, but
because the legislation which he ad-
vocates would be Of great benefit to
the people of our State. Therefore.
he wants the people TO be informed,
and have ample time to digest these
matters so that they can vote intelli-
gently at the primary.
He believes in honest elections.
He does not care particularly how
this is brought about, so that every
white DemOcr", can VOC in our pri-
mary. He Loes believe that sch re-
strictions should be thrown arounu
the primary as will prevent dead
men, radicals, Bull MooseS and resi-
dents o. other States naming the
standa' d bearers OF the Democracy of
South Carolina.
He is in favor Of a thorough re-
fo"in OF our school laws so that it
shall become the duty OF the State,
and not Of the various counties, to
educate the children of the State. 1t
IS contrary to all public policy that
negro children in one county shall
receive more per capita for their ed
ucation than white children Of ano-
ther county, as is now the case All
are the children OF the State of South
Carolina, and not Of any specific
county: therefore, it is the duty of
the State to sec that each child has
an equal opportunity to obtain
common school education.
He is in favor Of a thorough re-
form of our taxing department so
that the burdens OF government will
| fall on those most able to bear it and
who receive the greatest benefit from
it. AS at present organized, the tau
ing department Of our government
eXpends its greatest energy placing
every NANCY pig, lousy calf, bank
rupt stock Of goods, and all half
worn household and kitchen fumi-
ture on the tax books, while many
lust sources Of revenue are left un-
touched.
In other words. under our present
tax laws, our tax officials are, with
devoted zeal, catching the measly
revenues that drip from the spigOt.
while the bung is left wide open, and
Just revenues, that should enrich the
coifers of the State, are allowed to.
flow into the pockets Of private indi-
viduals and corporations.

city by posing as being sent by the

the Rogue as originally planned.

city, and they mothered him and his

Portland with warrants and pictures
of the imposter in prison stripes.

Best Side of a Cemetery

Probably few people know that there
is choice side to every cemetery.
Thus in some parts OF the world the
eastern portion. without regard to its
situation. is always deemed the most
desirable. This preference arises from
the old tradition that our Lord will
appear from the east. 1t is also be-
lieved that the dead in the eastern por-
ton will be the first to rise. then those

THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT.
Maybe II Was a Ounce Eve Ate In

Maybe II Was a Ounce Eve Ate In
the Garden Of Eden.
Why and how 1t has happened that
the apple has been spoken of as the
fruit that was forbidden in the Garden
Of Eden is one of the great puzzles of
biblical scholars. The fact is that in
Genesis ill.,, where the incident of the
eating of this fruit of the tree of
knowledge of good and evil" is men
toned, no name whatever Is given to
that fruit. All that is said is: And
when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food and that it was
pleasant TO the eyes, and tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of
the fruit thereof. and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat" Verse g.
In fact, scholars doubt very seriously
whether it was the apple at all They
suggest that all evidence points to it
having been the ounce, the fragrance
Of which was held in the highest
! esteem by the 0rientals, Another point
in favor Of the ounce is that it is the
fruit which was sacred to Venus, the
goddess of love. and in a great many
of the ancient writings the ounce is
very frequently mentioned in this man,
ner. In Babylonia lshtar took the
place of Venus in the Roman mytho
logy, and it should be remembered that
the story Of the creation originated
with the Babylonians. All evidence
seems to point away from the apple
having been the forbidden fruit" and
toward the ounce as having been thai
fruit of the tree Of knowledge Of goot
and evil."-Tit- Bits.
