JENNINGS FALLS DOWN ON The JOB.

JENNINGS FALLS DOWN on The JOB.
There are many, who seem to
roll as a sweet morsel under
their tongues, the language
Mayor Jennings is alleged to
have applied to Governor Blease
on the occasion of the campaign
meeting in Sumter, they seem to
think Jennings made a ten
strike, but it convinced US that
Jennings demonstrated his unit
ness to be the chief executive OF
a city in an emergency. On the
occasion referred to, of all men
who should have kept his head
it was the Mayor Of the city. but
Jennings did not do this; after
travelling all over the State ano
the governor intimating strong
" on nearly every stump that
the friends of Senator Smith
had employed Jennings and Pol
lock to assist him in this race,
Jennings waited until he reached
his home city, of which he is the
official head, surrounded by his
police and his personal friends,
to resent a charge. Does not
every sensible man know that it
would have been suicidal in Gov
vernon Blease to have hit Mayor
Jennings; had he lost his head
as did Jennings: he would have
preeipitated a bloody riot, and
there is no telling the number OF
people that would have been
SLANT IS almost certain Jen-
nings would not have gotten
away alive. neither would have.
Governor Blease. In our opin-
ion, Governor Blease exercised
the proper discretion inignorlng
the epithets the chief peace
officer of the city ofSumter hurl-
ed at the Governor of the State.
It required more moral courage
to averta a riot than to bring one
on; any inalscreet man c2a '>
on trouble, but it takes a man OF
calmness, nerve. and bravery to
forget himself under provoea-
ton that he might save harm
from the innocent. If Mayor
Jennings just learned the mean
ing of Governor Blease's words
when be said all over the State
That Jennings and Pollock were
hirelingsn he should, have con-
suited with his friends to learn
whether it was an insult, and If
they so decided, be should have
waited until he could have had a
priyateinterview with the Cover
nor where none could Interfere or
molest, but no. Jennings did not
do this, he waits until Blease
gets to Sumter, and then made
an exhibition Of himself, which
viii follow him through the bal
ance of his days. It is our opln
ion, Mayor Jennings Was unfor-
unate in selecting his nome town
10 resent what he had an oppor-
tunity to resent in the majority
of the counties OF the State.
Had Mayor Jennings made a
campaign with a velw OF secur
ing votes as a genuine and sure
enough candidate for the United
States Senate, he might have
built for himself a following that
Il the future would have stood
him IN good stead, butregardless
Of his aen;a!s, the majority of
the people Of this State believe
his purpose ia entering the race
vas not 10 pe elected, but to de-
feat Blease, and many believe be
received paw for it.

MR.. sHIPMAN WAS RIGHT9
Charlotte observer.)

Mr.. M. L. Shipman, State Commits
sioner of Labor and Printing, is quite
right when he declares that inasmuch
as any county wanting legalized pri-
mary can readily get one there is no
cause to quarrel over the action OF
the Democratic State convention be-
cause universal and compulsory coun.
ty primaries also were not endorsed.
As he further says, mot half-dozen-
counties had expressed any sentiment.
for primaries, and the delegates voted
their honest convictions, after giving.
attention to a full and free discus
sion of the question" OF the attempt.
to make this quarrel the paramount
issue Mr.. Shipman declares with no.
less truth that the obvious purpose is
to foment strife in the Democratic
Rarty. 1t certainly is regarding the
active engineers, Democratic and Re-
publican. Who believes that the re-
cant Republican State Convention
cared anything for any sort of primary
by comparison with its wish to pro-
mote a Democratic row?

New BeTn. Believing that the far
fners OF that section should hold their
cotton for higher prices, or at least,
until the scare brought on by the
European war has subsided, E. II.
Morton, who lives at Belgrade, near
MaysviIle, and who is one of the most
progressive farmers and citizens Of
that section, is contemplating the
erection of a large brick warehouse
which will be used as a storage ware
house for cotton and also any other
farm product that it is found adVisa-
BILE to hold. Mr.. Morton was in New
Bern yesterday and while here he
talked interestingly of his proposed
step. He claims that the crop this
year will be larger and better in quail
ity than before in. many years and
that the growers should receive a bet
ter price for it than they have hereto
fore. been getting. However, he be.
lieves, and presents indications point
that way, that the price will be 1oweS
and that the demand will be less than
it was last year.

PROPOSED STAMP. TAX
ON ALI SOFT DRINKS.

Washington, Aug. S1.-A stamp tax
en- soft drinks as well as beer and
patent medicines, is contemplated by
members Of the house ways and means
committee, which is preparing an
emergency internal revenue bill to on
set treasury losses during curtailment
of imports 1t is urged that soft
drinks are as much luxnries as wines
or beer and that an equitable Glistribu-
ton of the tax burden among all con-
sunaers would be accomplished by this
plan.
Another suggestion is stamp tax OF
9 or 10 per cent on railroad tickets and
admission to theaters, baseball parks
and other licensed amusements. 1t is
estimated that from $50, zoo, 900 to $780,
0O0,0O0 could be raised In this way.
A doubling of the present tax ON
Eeer, It Il estimated by treasury ex-
rerts. would produce $65 5.00O. 900.

TAX BOOKS ARE OPEN AND
8 CITY DESIRES EARLY PAYMENT,

4endersonville is4 always ready to.
receive money due it. In order that
the people may be induced to pay their
taxes early, special inducements are
made in the way Of appreciable dis
counts.
The city tax books were opened
Tuesday in the office of Business Man1
ager G. w. Justice and to those who
will pay their taxes in full during Sep
tember a discount of three per cent
will be made. Two per cent will be
made for payments in October and one
per cent for November payments. Ii
these inducements are not SUFFICIENT,
during the early part of the year the
tax collector will be forced to go after
matters with little more vengeance
without offering any inducements
whatever, but adding thereto the cost
of advertising, etc.
The city needs the money now due
ii and the authorities are hopeful o.
making good collections during this
month.

COlLEERGIAL COURSE on HIGH q
~ SCHOOL no BE EMPHASIZES


When the Hendersonville graded
school opens on September 81, the
Commercial department, which was
established two years ago, will be Civ
en- more emphasis than heretofore.
Miss Mary Minot Hill, who had
charge Of this department last year,
will again conduct it. Miss Hill an
nounces that the Rowe system of book
keeping and accountancy will be
taught instead OF the course formerly
given. The Pernin shorthand system,
which has found a place in many OF
the schools and colleges, will also be
taught.
The double course, including book
keeping, typewriting and stenography
and embracing other work necessary
such as English and arithmetic, is of
fered for $25 in advance. BY giving
this course at greatly reduced rate
when the prices of other business
courses elsewhere are taken into con-
sideration, it is hoped to have a larger
enrolment this year than heretofore
There were a dozen graduates from
this department last year and their
efficiency and success speak for the
thoroughness of the commercial
course. Those taking this course win
have advantage of the High school
course without additional cost.
