Of organization are fully understood.
But granting the right to organize
labor, the striking employees Of the
Anderson mills should have known
that when they exercised the right
to quit work, they had no right to
take possession of the property, OF
the employer, nor to continue to oc'
cupy its premises, nor to keep the
employer from enjoying its proper
ty, and operating its plant by Other
labor if it was forthcoming.
It took the Governor good long
time to know this, it is true. The
Sheriff of Anderson County does moi
seem to have learned it yet. He
elects to say when he will serve the
writs of a judicial tribunal, and con
suits the attorneys for the striking
employees as to whether or not hi
shall enforce the mandates Of thu
courts proceeding which will mo-
commend itself to right thinking per
sons.
But as we said, the Governor vii
now enforce the law, and he goe!
about it as a man who knows hi
business. We believe that the strik
ing employees have suffered from
bad advice, and we will be sorry i
they suffer more, but this cannot de
ter the law officers of the state from
turning the property of the Ander
son mills over to the rightful owners
thereof. The law must be supreme
in Anderson-and in Abbeville.

They fail to understand the secrets
of "getting at" the voters. An idea
of their estimated worth may be gain
ed from the fact that those high in
the councils Of the republican party
have one and all disclaimed any con-
nection with sending out this unique
aggregation.
It is interesting to note some of
the things which the present admin
istration has done Of special interest
to the women. Some of these were
brought out in a meeting ola Ken
lucky women's organization the other
day: First of all, they trust the Presi-
dent as q gentleman, patriot and q
statesman of unquestionedN integrity;
he has kept the country out OF war,
the sufferings of which are very real
for women; unexsmpled prosperity is
reigning; the child labor law, for
which the women of the country had
worked for many years the work
mems compensation law, the eight
hour law, the federal reserve law, the
farm loan legislation, work of the bu-
reau of safety devices, the commits
sion on industrial relations, and the
federal employment bureau were all
mentioned as having a bearing on the
welfare of the women of the United
States. The case was summed up
thsu: r
"Mr. Wilson has met conditions in
a way which has kept US, so far, at
peace, and at peace with honor, so
that we women: Of America have not
known any of the horrors that our
sisters over the water have known.
Was ever any human being villifed
more than Lincoln? Yet, after a gen.
Grafton, we see Lincoln was justified
and can not but believe that will be
the case with Mr.. Wilson. Peace,
prosperity, humanity and all laws
and conditions affecting the welfare
and happiness Of daily life are of
equal interest and equal Importance
to men and women, This country is
at peace, while at many times during
the lsat two years single false step
on the part of the President would
have plunged it into war. While the
mothers and wives Of Europe are
nursing their broken and wounded or
mourning over their dead, the women
Of America so heir loved ones come
home to them each night from regu-
lar, well paid employment under con-
|stantly improving conditions. This
country is enjoying high degree of
prosperity, and under President Will
sons administration much progress
sive constructive and humane legis-
lation has been enacted by demo-
cratic congress. ....' =.

THE LAW IN ANDERSON.

Governor Manning has at last
shown a disposition to enforce the
law in Anderson, and that by the
laws strong arm. The constitution
provides that man may not be de-
prived of his property, not even for
a day, without due process of law,
and that private property shall not
be taken for private purpose, not
even by labor union.
Just now the Governor comedies
the right of labor to "organize".
Everyone may not be agreed as to
this proposition unless the purposes

WOMEN i'm IN THE cAaP1lcN.
(Charleston Post.l.

/
There has never BEEN 2 campaign
for the Office of president Of the
United States in which so many ef:
forts have been made by the agents
|of the two dominant political parties
to gain. the favor of the women voters
| Of the eountry, and Of those seeking
| to vote as well... The attitude which
the women take with reference to the
election of either Hughes or Wilson
has for that reason been Of special
interest all along, and also for: the
reason that the movement for the en-
franchisement of women has gained
such headway within the past year or
two. Shortly after his nominationdb dby
the republican party, Mr.. Hughes
took lone of the very few definite
stands which he has vouchsafsd i in
the whole campaign, declaring nm
self in favor of giving the women the
vote by federal amendment, because
the women were bound to win any
how and it was best to have il. over
with. ;. ". .ea
Whether the candidate was sincere
or not, the impression grew and has
continued to grow that he was not at
heart interested in woman suffrage
but thought that a declaration in! ia
vor of the movement would gain the
support Of the organizations cam
paigning for suffrage. This attitude
of surrender to the inevitable rather
than, of championship of the couse
because of it's own merits has not ap-
pealed to real thinking leaders among
the women, especially il! view Of the
fact that Mr.. Wilson, .iles not ont
spoken in favor of giving the votes to
women, but has enlisted in the fight
as in his speech at Atlantic City afew
weeks ago, and also has personally
cast his ballot in favor Of it in an
election in New Jersey. Moreover, the
enthusiastic support which such ma
tionally known women as Ida Tarbell
and Jane Addams, to mention only
two, have given Mr.. Wilson has had
it's effect. These considerations,
coupled with the fact that the, Wilson
administration has placed on the sta
tute books many laws which the wo-
men of the country have advocated
in vain for many years, have brought
| it about that several States, notably
Illinois, in the far West where the
women have been given the right to
vote, are causing no little worry in
the republican camp lest they depart
from their accustomed ways and vote
with the democrats. This, in spite of
the fact that some of the women's
organization have given official sup
port to Hughes. This support has
been Offset by the preference which
other organizations give to Wilson
and by strong sentiment of individ-
ual and organized women in the
same direction.
One of the most spectacular efforts
made to secure votes for Mr.. Hughes
has been that of the special train of
women orators who have made a tour
through the West in his behalf. But
lif accounts which correspondents
have sent concerning their achieve
ments are to be credited, their doings
have provoked more amusement than
anything else, especially as many of
them are the daughters of rich men
who are directly interested in seeing
the republicans restored to power.

less of what might have been my per-
sonal feelings to influence me in the
performance of my official duty.
Since the approval of this act,
have found that the predictions of a
number of people that the companies
would withdraw have proven correct.
Practically all of the fire insurance
companies have withdrawn from the
State, only small percentage re-
naming and renewing their licenses,
I recognize the fact that the agents
of these companies that have with
drawn are suffering financial loss by
reason of the fact that their busi-
ness has been disorganized. I real
ize further that possibly others have
been embarrassed financially by rea-
son of the fact that they have not
been able to secure adequate insur-
ance protection.
Talks With Insurance People.
Some time ago, while in Washing
ton on official business in connection
with the war department, gentle
man whom I knew personally stated
that he would gladly arrange for a
conference with the officials of some
of the larger fire insurance companies
in New York, and I requested him to

The Advantage of War.

War itself is of short duration; it
produces results and relief and recu-
peration follow, says the Atlantic.
But armed peace is a never-ceasing
loss, and the hopeless feature of it is
that it never arrives. 1t is a con-
stant outlay without commensurate
return. With the utmost that can
be done, the relative strengths Of
States are changed but slightly, if at
all. Possibly the weaker States
profit by this preparation as COM
pared with their more powerful
neighbors, but even this is doubtful.
It may in some cases tend to pre-
serve peace; in others it certainly
makes for war. It does one or the
other according to its purpose and
the strenuosity with which it is car
ried on. When war-preparation is
purely from defensive motive, and
not aggressive, as may truthfully be
said of nations like the United States
and Switzerland, it certainly has a
tendency to deter aggression and to
make for peace. But when such
preparation is made with war as an
object of national policy, or to keep
up a rivalry of military or naval
power, it's tendency is to arouse sus-
picion of motive, to foster the belief
that such preparation means var,
and thus directly to lead to the like
lihood of war.

REGULARS AND MILITIA.
Now Uniformed and Equipped Alike.
Can't Be Told Apart.

Can't Be Told Apart.
The United States soldier, regular
or militiaman, on dress parade looks
natty. In actual service. much of
this jauntiness vanishes and you
think Of a pack mule when you see
him on the march. He carries his
| bed and dining room outfit with him,
and his entire wardrobe as we'll. The
soldier on the march is a concrete
example of preparedness.
If the civilian soldier is we'll train
ed, you cannot tell the difference be-
tween regular and a militiaman in
the field. The militia uniform and
equipment are identical with those
of the federal army nowadays, as a
result of State laws which conform
to the United States regulations. The
trend of recent years has been to
make the militia as much like the
federal troops as possible and the
standard uniform is the result.
All enlisted men of companies or
battalions, except first sergeants and
musicians, and all dismounted men
of mounted orderly sections of head
quarters companies, dismounted men
of supply companies except drivers,
and every member of the militia will
