Putting the Law on Liquor.

Speaking about liquor legislation.
one hears it said now and then that
the Legislature cannot enact a law
prohibiting shipments into the State;
that it would not stand the test OF
the courts. We know very little about
it, but High Point has an act that pro-
hibits shipments into that place and
it seems to be sticking. II a city
can enact such legislation, why not
an entire State? One report Is that
High Point has this law inserted In
it's charter. If true what Is the mat
ter with Greensboro that she cannot
10 the same thing? This would be 4
great help locally If no more, for
liquor shipments are growing heavier
all the time, though until recent
months they were diminishing. Such
a law, even for Greensboro, would
save the city and country great deal
of money, for the way things are now
going on, the criminal terms OF court
are crowded with relating cases to
the exclusion Of other case where unc
is able to give bond and keep out Of
Jail. - ssaS,

TO BE OFFERED EARLY
Enactment Into Law will Avoid Revi-
sion by Each State Convention
Hereafter

At the present session Of the gen.
eral assembly, bills will be introduced
proposing to enact into law the rules
governing the recent Democratic pri-
mary election. The law, Of course
will apply to rimario0 in general, no
matter Of what party, end will apply
to congressional and municipal as well
as to State and county primary elec-
tions.
This statement was made by a mem
ber- elect Of the legislature, after a
conference among newly elected
members Of the general assembly. 1t
will be proposed to put into the form
regulations governing the enrolment
of the voters that were adopted by the
Democratic State convention last May,
and the rules governing the conduct Of
the primary election. The successful
and satisfactory working Of these rules
has impressed the advisability Of put
ting them into effect In permanent
form. 1t will also be proposed to
apply the principles Of the Australian
ballot system to all elections, State
and municipal in cities Of more than
10000 population. A modified form
Of the Australian system was used in
the recent primary election in the city
of Charleston, and was found to work
with great satisfaction. Secrecy Of
the ballot is insuied, and the prob
ability of corruption and intimidation
is greatly reduced by this system.

TOBACCO PECULIARITIES.

The tobacco trade reports a falling
off in the chewing tobacco line. Sales
of pig by jobberS have been on the
decline and search is being made for
the cause The commonly accepted
theory is that tobacco chewing is go
ing out of fashion. There is less diff
ficulty. however, in arriving at an ex-
plantation Of the situation developed
the past year in the cigar trade. Not
only has the manufacture Of cigars
declined, but there is demand for
cheaper and smaller cigars. The To-
bacco Leaf, published in New York,
and considered an authority, says 2S,-
900, 900 cigars less were manufactured
the past year than the year preiouS.
The increase in the demand forlittle
smokes leads to the conclusion that
the public has begun to economize on
it's tobacco bill. But while plug and
cigars have "felt the pinch" as the
expression goes, it is a different
matter with the cigartta. The fig
ureS showing the increase in the man

vond belief. The production Of Gig

rose to 7.S3 as compared with the low

The advance was caused by heavy

None kenew Of the governors inten-

and the Governors assertion when Mr..
Blackburn gave him the document for
his signature that "This is pardon

ment among those present. Gov.
Blease exercised marked declaration
in signing the blanket pardon. He
carefully selected a pen, dipped It in
blocd-red ink and signed, In bold,
round letters, his full name, Coleman
Livingston Blease."
Gov. Blease explained last night, in
an exclusive interview, that this ac-
tion was taken to prevent any Of his
"paroled convicts" being forced back
into prison. His explanation follows !:
81 had noticed in Sumter paper
recently where it was heralded to the
world that, within a limited time after
Blease had retired from office and
when Mr.. Manning had become gov
ernor, q very large percentage Of
Blease's paroled convicts would be re-
turned to the penitentiary. had also
heard the remark made by Mr.. Man
ning's friends that this would be the
course pursued. Believing that Mr..
Manning and many Of his friends
would be willing, at the expense OF
humanity, to do things which would
make Blease's parosed convicts vio-
late the. during good behavior" Of
their paroles, and would be willing to
cause suffering to these poor, helpless
human beings in order to herald to
the world that another one Of Blease's
paroled ccnvicts was returned to prison
and in order to prevent that, among
other good and sufficient reasons, this
this blanket pardon was issued.
Well informed officials at the capi-
tol yesterday expressed the opinion
that this documnt held a unsue place,
and that precedent for all state on
the Union was probably established by
the governors latest action.

Action Taken to Prevent Paroled Men
Being Returned to Prison.

j 5ColumbiaS Saturday, Jan. 9.-Fores-
falling any effort that might have been
made by his successors to return to
prison for service of the remainder of
their sentences, Gov. Blease signed
yesterday q decree granting full pard-
on to all convicts Of the state and vari-
ous counties whom he had previously
granted paroles during good behavior.
The governor accepted as approximate
ly, corrected the estimate made In his
office that this blanket pardon would
effect 1,5OO persons, who had teen col
crime on the calendar.
This estimate appeared somewhat
high to othershight to other state off,
Gals, and attaches Of the office Of
state and newspaper men placed the
number effected between 1000 and
/ 200 persons. Those former prison
ers who were paroled upon the con-
dition that they never return to the
state, never again take a drink Of in
toxicating liquor and upon other con-
ditions, save that Of good behavior" +"
were not affected by this pardon.
The official document stated that all
persons paroled upon good behavior
BY Coy. Biease during the years one
thousand nine hundred and eleven, one
thousand nine hundred and twelve, one
thousand nine hundred and thirteen,
and one. thousand nine hundred and
were granted full pardon.
This decree plainly stated, however,
that none others were effected.
Gov. Blease greatest act of Glenn
nhy came without warning. With
one stroke of his pen he returned to
those former prisoners their right Of
citizenship which their convictions for
crimes against the state had taken

YOUR TOWN AND
HOME MERCHANTS
A WORTHY CITIZENSHIP
Patronize Home Industries and Co.
Operate With the Idea Of Aiding
Worthy Causes.

The following from The Rock Hill
Record is wei worth the study of all
good citizens:
DUTY is a power that rises with us
in the morning and goes to rest with
us at night. 1t is coextensive with
the action of our intelligesce. 1t is
the shadow which cleaves to us, 60
where We will
Let us do our duty in our shop OF
kitchen, in the market, the street the
office, the farm, the school, the home
just as faithfully as if we stood in the
front ranks of some great battle and
knew that victory for mankind de,
pended upon our bravery, strength
and skill.
when we do that the very hum
blest of us will be serving in that great
army which achieves the welfare of
the world.
1t should be the slogan Of every
town consumer never to send away
for goods that he can just as well
buy at home. Every time you send
a dollar to a mail order house that
dollar, as far as you and your commu-
nifty are concerned is practically out
of circulation.
"Your own home merchant is the
one who helps to keep up your
schools your churches and your town.
He is the one who deserves your trade
and not some catalogue house in Chi
cagO or elsewhere.
"When you have nothing to give in
exchange, to whom do you 60 for ac-
commodations until some certain time
when you can pay?
