most Of the ministry We have turned
down many liquor advertisement thai
offered to pay our card rates, and in
some cases We have been offered more
than our regular rates. SO far as we
when liquor was recognized as a le-
giumate article of commerce even by
know this is the first newspaper in
South Carolina to draw the line
against liquor advertisements. We
have seen many papers follow our lead.
But We want to say that We don,t
take any stock in that bill that passed
the senate the other day to prohibit
the publication of liquor advertise
ments in newspapers We think the
man VINO introduced that bill would
have done very we'll to leave the news
papers alone with the credit they
have already achieved in working out
the problem themselves. A fellow who
will plan law to accomplish that
which mas already been accomplished
is a kind of cheap skate anyway
Yorkville Enquirer
That is the way we feel about it. We
have taken liquor advertisements, but
some months ago just decided to cut
them out. and did so without saying
anything about it.
If you will just pass law not to
permit any one to drink liquor it would
be better than to try to stop selling
it, any way. If no one drank the stuff
there would be no demand for it, and
then of course the sale would stop.
Make il a chain gang offense to drink
it. But we are not worried about the
matter. We have made up our mind
not to worry about anything. We are
not taking liquor advertisement and
the law will have no effect upon US.

STORY OF A WEATHER VANE.
Why a Grasshopper Tops the Royal
EXCHANGE In London.

If you ever so to London among the
places of interest there you vii! visit
the public buildings known us the
Royal Exchange. There is cupola at
the top Of that building. Rising from
that cupola is an iron rod with Il huge
grasshopper on it for weather vane.
And there is an interesting story con-
nected with that grasshopper. 1t is
this: One day, more than 300 years
ago, a mother in England had IN in
fant. few months old, which she
wanted to get rid Of. SO she wrapped
It up in shawl and laid it down un
der bush in a field and left it there
to die unless some one should find it
and take care of it.
Shortly after little boy was coming
home from school AS he passed by
the place he heard a grasshopper chirp-
ing in the field He stopped a moment
to listen to it. Then he climbed over
the fence to get it. But just as he was
about to catch it he caught sight of

hopper go and. taking the baby in his
arms. carried it home to his mother.
She took charge of the baby and
brought him up He turned out to be
a good, pious boy. He was always de-
cided in doing what he knew was
right and in not doing what was
wrong.
When a young man he went to Lon
don and entered into business there.
He was successful in business and be-
came rich. He was not only rich but
great. He was knighted and is we'll
known in English history as Sir Thom-
as Gresham The Royal Exchange
was built in honor Of him. And he had
the grasshopper put as weather vane
on the top of it in memory of the Won
derful way in which when an infant
his life was saved by the good provi-
dence of God.-Richard Newton in BIZ

We do not exactly understand 1uS'
whv it should take so much special
machinery and special fund to en-
force the prohibition law if the peo-
ple of the state are so overwnelm1ngiy
in favor of prohibition Where the
nnblic sentiment is so strong in favor
of a law it is generally easily enforced
1ndging from the new express ofhces
that are being opened in the state and
the number of gallon packages COM
ing in on every express train, it would
make one almost wonder if the senu-
ment was so Overwhelming IN favor
of prohibition. Just watch the eS-
nress at any station and you Will be
convinced that there are lot Of peo-
ME who are ordering their gallon
And we have heard that there nave
been added in the state since the first
of the year some forty or fifty new ex-
press offices in order to handle the
liouor that is coming in the state. We
are convinced that the whole thing IS
wrong The drinking and not the sell
ing should be the crime.

The appropriation bill has been pre-
sented and it has some reductions from
the bill of last year, and Chairman
Lilies says that it will take only a 612
mills levy to- meet it Even that is
2 mills more than the levy few years
ago, and then there are so many more
indirect methods of taxation in this
state now. and the assessed valuation
is nearly one-third greater. But then
the state is growing and the expenses
of government must keep growing
also.
We notice that the bill cuts down
the amount for the warehouse COM
missioner about one-third, which IL
less than it takes to run the office.
Maybe they will let the Office use some
of the money it is collecting, as IN the
case of the commissioner of agrioul-
ture. The boys down there in the leg
islature are just a little up against it.
They don't know just where to turn.
They should have been doing some OF
the economizing at the last session.
New circuits, tax commissions boards
of charities, new superintendents at
increased salaries, and all these pro-
gressive ideas take money, and tnen
il will take money to enforce proh1-
bition, so the prohibitionists seem to
think Sometimes the appropriation
bill comes out Just like it leaves tne
committee and then again it is changed
considerably before its final passage.
We hope the members will be able 70
keep the taxes down.

We understand that there is propo-
sition before the legislature to sub
mith a constitutional amendment to
the people repeating tnat section
which forbids trustees of colleges and
other institutions holding any other
office. We do not see the reason for
such an amendment as no particle OF
attention is paid to that section of the
constitution. 1t is a dead letter al
ready. And yet We are told some OF
those holding such positions in def
ance of the plain mandate of the con-
stitution voted for the amenAment, and
they have been claiming all the time
that that provision did not apply to
them and their jobs. Just the other
day the legislature elected one of its
own members a trustee Of Clemson and
Senator Tillnan a trustee Of Winthrop.
AND there are several other members
of the legislature who hold such posi-
tons contrary to the mandate of the
constitution, but we thought it had
been decided to count that section as a
dead letter, and if so why amend the
constitution. Wnen the fellow higher
UP openly violates the law himself, and
al the same time vociferously shouts
law and order, how can he expect the
little fellow to obey the law.

it speaks some great truths which it

WHAT LABOR MUST
EXPECT AFTER WAR

In an article ON the work that con-
trade union executives, at the close of
tho, present war, the Typographical
Circular, official paper of the Typo
graphical association, Of Manchester,
Eng, says:
'"'The labor market has been thrown
into state of pie,' and all the spe-
,cialized lines have been overturned
and intermineled that one does not
know Where the skilled mechanic ends

added to the industrial vocabulary,

!: CAPITALISTS AFTER WAR SAYS MANLEY
(By Basil M. Manley, Member Indus

(By Basil M. Marley, Member Indus
trial Relations Committee.)
WASHINGTON, July 22.-What is
going to be the economic outcome of
the European war;
Most of. the economists who have
discussed this question have based
their prophecies on what they call the
|'enQrmous destruction of capital ~
and have wept q few tears at the
thought of the dreadful fate that
awaits the foreign capitalist. What
are the facts? .' - =" .
1t is important for every American
to understand, because. unless we do
understand and act intelligently, we
are likely TO be involved in grave in
ternational disputes when the process
of debt settlement begins.
Capital L. Intact. 49,
In q nutshell, this will be the stu
alton when the war Is over. The capt.
tai property of the warning nations
will be little, if at all, impaired.
This needs explanations. The capital
property of a certain nation consists
Of it's land, natural resources and
means Of production, and transporta-
ton. Except for the fact that certain
natural resources, chiefly iron ore, are
being used up faster than in times of
peace, there is practically no impair
ment of the capital goods Of any Of
the nations, except in the relatively
limited area in which the war will be
fought out.
This destruction Is more than offset
by the: enormously greater efficiency
that Is being attained in the operation
of all kinds of factories and in agri-
culture in all of the warning coun-
Men Are Lost.
The only impairment will be in the
men, and even this is problematical.
The best of the workers who manned
the shops before the war will be shot
or disa bled, but their places will be
filled by >werkers who while deficient
in physique, will be trained to ma
chine-like efficiency hitherto un-
known. ,
AS have said, the capital property
Of the warning nations will thus be
little impaired, but it will almost alto
gether have passed out Of tie hands
of the small owner, who has been
forced to sell by the economic pres
sure of the war. Its ownership will
be concentrated in the hands Of the
rich, either of those countries or of
America, or. in the control of the gov
eminent itself.

government will be, about like that Of
the farmer who has the title to q

The private. soldier, at the end Of
the war, W.. return home to find an
enormous burden Of rational debt. His
direct taxes probably will be rela-
lively light, the better to fool him
into acceptance of the situation, but
he will none the less have to pay, even
as he had paid in blood and suffer-
ing throughout the war.
" It is estimated that in England and
Germany, at the end of the war, not
less than three days out of each
weeks work of every working man.,
woman and child must 60 to pay the
debts which: have been piled up.
The private soldier will see the
greater part of this three days pro-
duct going to the bankers, manufac-
turers, merchants and leisured aristoc-
rcay, who sounded their slogans of
Business as Usual" while he lay in
the trenches. He will see smaller
part going to American bankers and
capitalists.
People Are Armed.
The private soldier is then likely to
forget the obligations which his coun-
try assumed to native >and foreign
capitalists while he was lodging bull
lets, and he is likely to rebel against
working three days a week to pay his
nations debts.
IT he does, his rebellion will be re-

more Of foreign securities, and in the
face Of possible reputation the pres

anything attempted in the case of

What will happen then will depend
upon two things, the character of the
national administration and the de-
gree to which the American people
understand the conditions. abroad.
