Enforcement Of the Law.

1t is very we'll for the people of the
state generally to understand that
this matter of enforcement Of the
laws against liquor sellers, gamblers,
houses Of i'll fame, and m~alefactors
generally, is no light task, and the
mar who makes honest and intelligent
effort to perform that task is well
worthy Of the support Of all his fell
low citizens who are deserving Of the
name of men and women.
If South Carolina has suffered from
one thing more than another in the
past, especially since the Civil war, 1t
has been through lax or partial
enforcement of the laws. If there is
any one thing that is better calculated
to lift this state to the highest pin
nacle of civic righteousness than just,
honest and merciful enforcement OF
the laws, we are unable to conceive
of what that one thing can be.
AS matters stand now and as they
have stood for many years, Charleston
and Columbia have had the reputa-
ton of being the most fragrant VIC
lators of the laws in the state. So far
as our observation goes, the real truth
about the matter is that Charleston
and Columbia are only the most
notable examples Of law breaking be-
cause Of their size, and are faithfully
f,IIou,a1 h,, tho Sma1lar towns which
comparatively speaking, are generally
as bad.
1t is a fact that in the past various
efforts at law enforcement have been
made in both Charleston and Column
bia, and these efforts have more than

Hon. John L. McLaurin has accepted
an invitation to speak at the closing
exercises Of the Gold Hill school or
Friday, April 30.
The flour market seems to be at 9
standstill, with signs Of weakness, and
the mills making every effort to i'm
press the retailers with the idea thai
now Is the time to buy.
Tho historic late spring snow in this
section was that of April Is, 184s. II
has been mentioned in The Enquirer
a number Of times Of late years, and
it has been recalled again by the snow
Of last Saturday.
According to information given out
from the office Of the state warehouse
commissioner, an ideal structure suit
able for this section, should have d.
mansions OF 4%0xS0x11 feet. Such a
building would take care of SIS bales
Of cotton. after leaving oom for wa
ter barrels and alleyways that would
permit convenient arrangement of the
cotton in lots 81 that any particular
lot or bale can be gotten at without
difficulty. The iron for such a build
ing would cost about 5000, but as the
insurance people prefer the weather
boarding of plank half an inch or less
in thickness, the cost Of material
would be less. The insurance on the
contents of such a building would not
exceed $1.75 per 500. Where 1t is
desired to build a two compartment
house with brick fire wall between
and provide the same with an auto
matte sprinkler equipment the insur-
ance ate is only about 40 cents a
hundred,

The communication of Senator Epps
of Williamsburg county, to the
News and Courier, on the state ware
house question, reproduced in another
column, is worthy Of attention as the
opinion of a conscientious legislator
who has a large responsibility Tor the
enactment. The communication, of
course, is quite general In its charac-
ter: but the views expressed and con-
clusions arrived at are evidently based
on a very careful study Of all the de-
tails. The senator sees in the new
law 4 thorough-going attempt to cor
rect at once all the abuses and eco
nomic errors that have developed and
been grated on to the process Of mar
keting the cotton crop during the past
hundred AMI twenty-five years. He
believes that the law Is a just and
complete solution Of the whole prob
lem; but he does not lose sight of the
tremendous difficulty Of securing i'm
mediate adjustment Of abuses that
have the sanction Of so many years Of
practice. There is a great deal at
stake on both sides Of the question
and that the fundamental principles
are to be finally settled without a big
fight is hardly to be expected; but If
the cotton producers or a majority of
them are ever brought to clearly un-
derstand the whole matter, this splen-
did reform will surely win.

THE OLD WELL CLOSED

The courthouse well has been COW
cred over in connection with h pro-
cess Of cleaning Off and grading over
the courthouse yard, and the circum-
affords fit themes for the his
torian and the poet, were the records
available for the one or should the
proper inspiration strike the other.
Who dug the we'll and when are
historic facts that are obscured In the
hazy mist Of the forgotten past. Old
Hannibal, who for so many years past
has been the most reliable custodian
Of ancient facts about the courthouse
and surroundings, and we'll past his
four score years, says that the well liz
included in his earliest ~recollections,
and it was looked upon as n Of the
old things of the community when he
could first remember.
It is a natural inference that the
we'll must have been dug on the build
ing of the first courthouse on the spot,
shortly after the erection Of the coun-
ty in 1885. That is probable, but not
certain. 1t may have been even prior
to that date, or again 1t may not have
been until many years later; but how
ever this may be, the we'll has been a
notable institution. The water has
always been esteemed as sweet, pure
and grateful, and so far as the records
20 has never been brought under sus-
picion, except on account Of the car
cass of an occasional cat or other ami
NAL not conducive to the flavor. Such
mishaps of course, have occurred
from time to time: but their effects
have generally been removed without
unnecessary delay.
The old we'll, among other things,
has been famous, as q show place for
we'll fixtures andNwater drawing ar
rangements. The first force pump
brought to the county was exhibited
there. It has been the place of exhi-
bition Of various patents for lifting
water, some remaining only a snort
time and others doing duty until COM
pletely worn out; but always there has
been some one ready to provide means
of drawing water in return for the ad-
vertising advantages. -,
The local wags nave for years had
a saying that once a man drinks wa
ter from the court house we'll, his
heart is in the keeping Of the town
forever afterward. Also 1t Is COM
monty understood that for generations
past there has been a certain percent
age of the citizenship that has been
so attached to the we'll that 1t has re-
manned within easy reach from morn
ing till night. One popularity OF
these citizens was that they v
could become accustomed to the we'll
fixtures and could only quench their
thirst when others came to draw wa
ter. Because of the extensive use OF
the we'll by people generally, how
ever, people Of this class were not al
lowed to suffer. =.
Not the least distinction of this old
we'll was its location on top OF the
divide between the Catawba and
Broad rivers. The waste water from
1t went to Broad river; but the Cataw-
ba slope begins within a distance OF
thirty feet to the east, and at times In
the past the waste waters have been
equally divided between both rivers.

Business Better.

There is no doubt about the fac
that there is a very noticeable i'm
provement in business as compared
with three weeks ago. People are
showing more disposition to trade
and they are also letting loose a great
deal more cash.
Up to two or three weeks ago, there
vas a very noticeable feeling among the
people that the bottom had dropped
out" 1t seemed as If people had lost
sight Of the fact that a lull in bust
ness activity is always a marked fea-
ture Of the mid-winter season, and
the depression was appearing to have
a significance other than properly
belonged to it. Many people were
beginning to blame it all on the
European war, and other vague con-
siderations that they were hardly
able to define; but all that is now
passing.
II have gotten more money in the
last two weeks" said a local stock
dealer in conversation with the re-
porter yesterday, than during all the
balance Of the year put together. AS
a matter of fact, I have done more
business during the past month thar
during the same month Of last year.
We had splendid days Monday and
Tuesday," stated a dry goods mer.
chant. 1.-The people wanted goods
bought freely, and paid their bills or
the spot. Twas especially struck with
one thing, and that was the large
amount of cash as distinguished
from checks that was taken in. / dc
not know how to account for it, ex-
actly-whether the people have beer
keeping their cash in their own Gus
tody for some reason, or whether they
went to the banks and got the money
Anyhow it has been a long time since
l have seen such a large preponderance
of cash over checks at the end of ar
extra good days work"
AS the result of talks with these and
others, the writer felt warranted in the
conclusion that although business
generally is not up to what the bust.
ness people would like to see it, there
has been a remarkable improvement
over what it was a few weeks ago, and
the situation is Frightening up consid.
erably.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-04-09

In it's issue Of this morning, the
Newberry Herald and News repro
duces what The Enquirer had to say
last Tuesday about that mendacious
paragraph from the Sumter Herald
and comments as follows:
The Herald and News agrees en-
tirely with The Enquirer. We have
had no "pokes' at Gov. Manning. nc
be sure, as we have before remarked
we have not agreed with Gov. Manning
in all that he has done, and we have
not refrained from saying so, but we
have always done it in a dignihed
and respectful manner. AS we said
once before, it would be we'll some
times to have a man delivered from
his friends. We would like to see q
comprehensive reason for some OF
the things said by the Sumter Herald,
but that would be impossible.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-04-09

once showed temporary promise OF
success; but the permanent results
have not been especially noticeable.
AS a matter Of fact the aggregate ex-
periences Of the past seem to be
summed up in the idea Of a big bluff
to make it appear that the authorities
meant business, and then after the
demonstration had progressed sufh-
GENTLY to satisfy the innocent and
unsophisticated, there would be a
compromise as the result Of which the
lawless element would be allowed to
resume operations at full swing with
out let or hindrance to recover all
! that it may have lost. This Is a
gloomy picture; but the writer here
Of has been in a position to gather
facts that fully warrant the sugges-
ton.
Down in Columbia not long ago,
the governor told the mayor that he
must put a stop to lawlessness and
crime. There followed a commotion
among the liquor sellers, gamblers and
the like that included a mighty
| squawking and so on; but after q few
days the governor found it necessary
to put the matter up to the sheriff.
The sheriff got busy and did the best
he could, presumably; but still the
! situation Is not satisfactory and the
governor intends to bring pressure on
both the sheriff and the mayor.
The same state Of affairs exists in
Charleston. There has been much
pressure on the tigers and gamblers,
and thousands Of dollars worth Of
stock and tools of their trade have
been taken away from them Just
now, it looks as If both towns are in
very good shape and there has been no
let up in the good work.
We are not insinuating that there Is
any humbug in the proceedings that
have been recorded. We do not be-
lieve there is any humbug in these
proceedings. Common n n COM
mon reason, however, tell us that no
permanent results have been accom-
plished. 1t stands to reason that the
lawless element Is not going to be Sc
rlously affected by n temporary
cleanup. That element, having gone
through similar experiences in the
past, will look upon the disturbance
as only temporary and certain to blow
over within a short time. 1t Is to be
hoped that nothing like this will hap
pen. 1t Is to be hoped that the au;
thorities will continue as persistent
as the violators Of the law, and hold
out as long, for it Is only by such
determined persistence can any def
mite and satisfactory results be ac-
complished.
And Furthermore, the lawlessness
that the governor Is trying to suppress
cannot be kept down without th4 CO.
operation and support Of all law-abid-
ing citizens. 1t is worth nothing for
the public to clap It's hands and whoop
'em up without giving actual practical
aid. II the authorities show signs Of
growing weary in we'll doing the people
must step in and hold them to their
work,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-04-09

In a leading editorial yesterday the
Columbia State shows evidence OF
coming to The Enquirer's view of the
prohibition question. In various con-
troversies Of the past, the State had
some pretty hard things to say about
The Enquirer on account of prohibi-
ton. 1t has always stood for locaI
option and the like, and we suppose
it would like to have local option yet;
but it is not emphasizing the issue as
it formerly did. ON the question OF
continuing the county ~dispensary in
Richland it stood for liquor. But now
it is beginning to see the light and is
trying to get right. We are glad.
