Serious Economic Problem.

All that was said at the economic
conference in the court house last Sat-
urday was very we'll so far as it went;
but 1t seems to us that 1t failed to
touch at all upon n of the most
vexing and p%erplexing problems Of the
present day.
We have reference to the necessity
of a good shaking up Of the body pol
itic so as to get rid Of the %unproduc-
tive and improbable leeches.
Society has always been shouldered
with the responsibility Of supporting
many people who realize no RESPONSE
bility as to giving value received, and
who naturally demand more than any
other class. AS producers this class
is almost nil and as consumers it
looms up big.
We are not talking about tramps,
or the down and out, or the shabby,
genteel buns and loafers; so much as
we are of the high flying parasites
who hold to the doctrine that the
world owes them a living and who
proceed to take the same from such
sources as seem to offer the least re-
sIStance.
The stray dog will dart into the
kitchen, steal d piece OF meat and
make off with it While the cooks back
as turned.
The leopard will lay for hours on
the brancn OF a tree n drop down
and sink his claws into the neck OF
The first deer thai comes underneath.
The hawk will perch himself at a
point OF vantage, watching the king
usher at work On the banks of q
stream, and whenever the kingfsher
makes a catch worth having, the
hawk will swoop down and take 1t
away.
All these have their prototypes in
organized society; but organized soci-
ETY. mas to confess many useless, eX-
pensive and dangerous %nuisances
which have no prototypes in nature.
There are prowling agents Of vari-
Gus kinds who take advantage Of ig-
in the exchange of worthless
trash for hard earned wages.
There are we'll dressed, high stand
ing specimens of genteel respectable
ity VINO impose upon the innocent but
honest credulity Of the faithful work.
er and under pretenSe of service, re-
curing no more effort than h wag-
ging of a slick tongue, take from
MIN the proceeds of weeks of faithful
labor.
The list could be drawn out indefi-
nitely; but we have gone far enough
TO make reasonably plain what we
mean
All such creatures are a drain on
the economic of the COM
munities on which they prey, and
they should be marked for elimina-
ton if. for no other reason, than that
their room may be occupied by people
who will try to give value for what
they receive-who will earn their
keen.

- The authorities Of the railroads
operating in his state have readily
agreed to a REIMBURSEMENT of the rates
on grain. A conference "a held in Co.
lumbia on the subject last Wednes-
day. The general opinion was eX-
pressed by practically all Of the wit
nesSes that South Carolina must look
to the SOUTH" rather than to the east,
in the matter of a market for grain.
FLORIDA, 1t was shown, consumes sew
eral million bushels Of wheat and is
directly connected by three trunk line
railways with all points in South Car
DINA. John J.. McLaurin, state cot
ton warehouse commissioner, was
among the witnesses to appear before
the commission. He said that 1t would
be necessary for many farmers of the
state to find a market for their grain
outside the state. The farmers. he
said, will need ready money, because
they are already carrying n crop.
The South Carolina grain crop will be
thrown on the market early in June
The value Of the crop this year will
be about SIG ,000. 1t was urged
that the crop must be turned into cash
as soon as possible, so that the farm
ers will derive the greatest benefit.
Among those attending the hearing
"tIt. - II. Nilal'liVi, SiShh bo''S
manager of the Seaboard Air Line
railway; J. w. Perrin, general freight
agent, Atlantic Coast Line railroad;
Ernest Williams. general freight
agent, Charleston & Western Carolina

pany. 1t was agreed by the railways
and the petitioners that a proper mar
ket should be established for the
srain. that the markets should be
found as near home as possible, al
though they were ready to consider
some arrangement to reach even the
eastern markets" The hearing was
in session for more than two hours
when the grain situation was discuss
ed. The new tariffs are to be drawn
ard submitted to the railroad COM
mission for approval.

Senator Epps of Sumter, Is rather
too we'll seasoned to allow himself to
be worked by Chambers of Com
merce" and Boards of Trade" He
understands how such organizations
especially in small towns, are often
manipulated by a few individuals,
sometimes only one, and that one at
tempting to do business in the name
of a whole community and not re-
sponsible to anybody. A few days age
the senator received a two page tele-
gram from the Sumter Chamber OF
Commerce, instructing him how to
tote on a certain measure. Comment
ing on the incident the senator said:
That telegram was gotten up by one
little secretary and the Chamber OF
Commerce knows nothing about it,
He went on to say that he had previ-
ously made up his mind to vote differ
emily from the instructions contained
in the telegram and this he proceeded
TO do.

Bet fifteen cents that Clemson col
lege will never pay that loan she is
asking at the hands of the state. The
fact of the business. as we see 1t, Is
that Clemson undertook the Demon
stration work originally in order to
get control of the fund that was being
donated by the General Education
board. Rockefeller foundation, and
now that the fund has been cut off,
she is squealing for help, not openly,
to be sure; but like the genteel dead
beat who instead of asking for a gift
asks for a loan. We are not looking
for a retur of that loan" but in
stead, we figure that next ear there
will be a request for an appropriation,
based upon the benevolent work that
las been done heretofore. The dem
ns;r. ion work is all right so long as
| came as a gift; but if it is to be
continued at the expense of the tax
payers, let's have it under the control
Of some authority that will be direct
ly responsible to these same taXpay-

When YOU give a case to a lawyer

When you give a case to a lawyer,
you are supposed to trust to his ad-
vice. That is right, for If you under
stood the law, you would not need a
lawyer. But suppose you were the
defendant in foreclosure proceedings,
or a party in partition proceedings,
involving the sale Of land, you would
think you were entitled to a fair deal,
would you not? All the plaintiff is
entitled to in a foreclosure, Is the full
amount of his debt. The defendant
is entitled to have his property bring
it's full value. The parties to parti-
ton proceedings are entitled to the
same consideration. The best way to
get full value in either case Is through
proper advertising, for the more thor
ough the advertising the stronger
the probability Of more prospective
buyers. The more prospective buyers,
Of course, the better the prospect for
the highest price. The law requires
advertising in both cases. The the
DRY of the advertising is the better
protection of all parties at interest,
especially the mortgagor or the per-
sons interested in partition. The rea-
son for this is obvious. If a mortga-
gee could sell property under fore
closure without any publicity at all,
he could arrange matters so that he
would be the only bidder. While the
law does not attempt to require the
greatest publicity for the purpose,
common sense and common justice
demand this procedure. Now sup
pose in advertising foreclosure or par
tition the lawyer in charge, could
reach twice as many people at
the same price 1t would cost for half
as many, and he spends the money for
half as many, what would be the sta
tus of the fairness Of that lawyer?
Suppose it were a fact hat this law
yer were in the advertising business
himself, and he thus Disseminated
against the defendant at interest sole
ly for his own profit, or suppose in
stead of a lawyer, this thing was done
by an official in the same position as
to interest, what additional coloring
would that put on the quality Of the
sense Of fairness or the official in
tegrity Of either? If a man would do
a thing like this without first having
obtained the consent Of all parties in
volved, defendant as we'll as plaintiff,
what about him? And If a man would
take an unfair advantage like this for
his own personal gain, how would
you be able to tell in what kind of a
matter you could really trust him?

We cannot condemn a man for diff
fering from a majority Of his party
when his convictions lead him in a
different direction; but when a man
gets elected to the United States sem
ate on the coattails of a president, as
did Mr.. Hardwick of Georgia, he
ought to stay with that president or
resign. That would be the decent
thing; but of course the decent thing
is not expected from such men.
