WHAT IS THE LAW?

We published in The Herald and
News Tuesday the full text of the opin-
ion Of the attorney general as to the
meaning of the "gallon-a-month" act
passed by the last legislature. We
publish today an opinion on the same
law by Solicitor Cooper.
On at least one very material point
tie two opinions are at variance 10
each other. AS We read the opinion
by the attorney general it would not
be unlawful for an individual to pur-
chase liquor from a dispensary in Co.
umbia and bring it to Newberry ii it
were for mis- own use. In other words,
if he came into the possession of the
liquor in a legal way he could carry
it to a dry county if he did not do
so for illegal or illicit purposes Mr..
Cooper says, '4t would be unlawful
for any person to purchase whiskey
at a dispensary in Columbia for his
personal use and convey it into the
county of NeWberry" Mr.. Cooper also
holds that it would be lawful to nave
one gallon shipped from out the State
to Columbia or any other county and
convey it from the express Office Of
Columbia or any otter county to New
berry county. MIR. Cooper intimates
very strongly that in his opinion the
act is unconstitutional. But what is
the law? That is the point the officers
charged with its enforcement are try
ing to find out.
Gov. Manning says to Sheriff Blease:
"Mr. Cooper being 81e solicitor of your
circuit, think you have done well i'll
seeking advice from him. AS governor
can not pretend to construe the law,
but hope that you and your magistrates
will use your utmost endeavor to eu-
force it,
The question would arise, enforce
what? The law as construed by the
solicitor or by the attorney general!

POLICY OF THE PRESS.

We are somewhat surprised and
not little disappointed to see the at
titude of certain newspapers in regard
to the Manning administration. One
or two, we have noticed, and one in
particular, never lose an opportunity
to criticise the acts of the chief ex-
ecutive and often, in our opinion, at
times when no such criticism is neces-
sary. We had hoped that this would
not be the case because we are abso-
lutely convinced that South Carolina
has experienced as much factionalism
as she can stand for awhile and it
seems to US d at united people would
do more for this State during the next
fiGe years taan any 10 or II factional
parties could do.
We do not believe that We should
commend Gov. Manning or any other
State or county official every time he
turns around. We do not see that the
fact We supported him should make
such foolish thing necessary and we
do not intend doing SO. We nave seen
certain papers in this State rushing
in to applaud the governor on occa-
sions when such appreciation was
clearly unnecessary and in our opin-
ion this is just about as bad as criti-
cizing the administration when it is
unjust.
The point We are striving to empha-
size is that newspapers should try to
be as fair and impartial as may be
possible. If criticism is deserved, it
may be very we'll and commentator
in it's place is certainly all right, but
we should carry neither to an extreme.
York News
This is we'll said, except that we have
not noticed any captious criticism of
the Manning administration by any
of the papers. Some OF them have
criticized some of the things done by
tie administration, but so far as we
nave observed the criticism has been
fair and courteous and free from any
factional bitterness. The supporters
of Gov. Manning, sometimes, we will
be permitted to think, carry their ad
miration little too far, as the News
suggests, and it has seemed to US, they
almost hold the doctrine that the king
can do no wrong" But so far as our
observation goes the press has been

Our friend, Sam T. Reid, cashier OF
the Bank of Commerce, of Spartanburg
who also reads The Herald and News,
sends US a statement of his bank aud
attaches a clipping from The Herald
and News in which, we referred to the
statement of the Peoples bank OF
Anderson. We stated that the Peo-
Piles bank showed an increase in de-
posits on March %, 1915, over same
date last year of $4,000. Sam, with
that true Spartanburg spirit which We
admire, says: Anderson will have 70
come again if they get ahead of Spar
tanburg." And she will, for this little
and young Bank of Commerce, accord
ing to the statement of March 23, 1915,
shows an increase in deposits over the
same date last year Of $103 ,644.71. And
it Gas no bills payable-that is the
bank owes no money and has about
$50, 1000 in cash.. 1t Should be able to
take good care of its customers, but
plenty Of cash in the vaults and owing
no money does not always mean that
the bank will let out any money even
On good collateral, and if it will not
the cash does not do the community
much good. Sam, we are coming to
Spartanburg before long, and We want
you to be on the job, so that we may
get new spring suit for tie Press
association.

State Superintendent of Education
]. E. Swearingen has sent US copy
of tie new compulsory school attend
ance law. The editor Of The Herald
and News t5as for long time been
an advocate of a compulsory attend
ance law, but We are not much in
clined to the piece meal way provided
in this law. We think if it is good
thing it should be Statewide. Ana
then it provides for an election in each
district and in one section says the
election must be held on the second
Tuesday in June, one thousand nine
hundred and fifteen, following the FL
ing of the petition, or on the secoad
Tuesday OF June of any subsequent
year" Then section 13 of the act pro-
rides: TThis act shall be in full
force and effect from and after the
first day of July, one thousand nine
hundred and fifteen" Can an election
be Geld under an act before the act
becomes law and if held would it be
a legal election?

FOR SOUTH CAROLINA EDUCATION

Shall South Carolina move forward
as unit or shall progress be by
townships, cities, villages and coun-
ties?
when the State Teachers associa-
tion resolves that State tax should
be had for the support OF common
schools, the proceeds to be used for
the schools of>the State regardless of
the locality of collection Of the tax
it takes ground for South Carolina's
uniform progress.
Some of the counties of the State
have comparatively dense and we'll
to-do populations. Others are thinly
settled and tie people are poor One
of the most populous white" counties
stands at or near the bottom of the
list in literacy.
The imposition of a three mill tax
for schools is Of small assistance to
the State as whole so long as the
money thereby raised is spent only
in tie county where the tax is paid.
The city of Greenville pays more
than proportionate part of the three
mill tax used for the support of
schools in a remote mountain town
ship of the county. Why should not
the county of GreenTille, or Rieiland,
or Charleston, in like manner, nelp to
place the schools of Berkeley and
Horny on better footing?
In short, it seems that South Caro-
lima as whole is worth rescuing from
illiteracy
State pride and State common sense
should overcome county pride and sell
is2ness.-The State.
If we are not mistaken, one of tne
candidates who made the race for gov
ernor last year had something in his
platform about making the three mill
school tax State tax and not coun-
! ty tax, as it is now. And give to each
child in tie State the same opportuni-
ty that is given to every other child,
so far as tae amount of money is con-
cerned from the State, and then each
locality could do as it pleased as to a
local tax.
The rich counties, like Charleston
and Rid3land, where they have more
money than they need for their
schools, would then thelp the poor
counties where TIE great majority Of
the white children are.
The three mills tax is now virtually
q county tax. By making it State
tax every child would be given tie
same amount. But if t3e manner of its
distribution and application were as
now it would give the white children
in the thickly populated negro coun-
ties the advantage of the white chill
dren in the largely white commune
ties. D3ese are matters that would
adjust themselves, however.
We had so much attention given to
the liquor question and the so-cailed
law and order business during the cam
paign tnat there was very little time
left to think about matters educational
and constructive
Before We can have tie improve
ments that We need in the rural dis
tricts for the schools there must be
more money from some source. The
towns and corporations in the various
counties now contribute very largely
from the three mills tax to the support
of tie rural schools and WY not the
rich counties help the poorer?
