Keep Warehouse Out of Politics.

A large number of right-thinking,
unprejudiced people who are disposed
to support a State warehouse system,
if properly safeguarded, have some
what withheld their support from the
present system because there were ev-
licences that it would be used as a po-
litical machine, just as the old State
~dispensary was in its palmy days. The
writing of a lengthy letter by Ware
house Commissioner McLaurin to one of
the leading semi-weekly newspapers in
the State in which he comes out boldly
for one of the candidates for governor,
discussing the warehouse system in the
same article, serves . confirm the sus,
picion or apprehension of the men re-
ferred to.
In our judgment MI. McLaurin has
made a mistake. The warehouse sys,
TEN is yet on probation--has not alto.
gether passed the experimental stage
and if he is to make it a complete
success, serving all of the people, he
should have refrained from openly ad.
vocating the candidacy of either of the
aspirants for gubernetorial honors.
Yes, it is evident that the warehouse
is in politics, or politics in the ware
house. whichever way you choose to
look at it. And mark our prediction,
under the present management it will
never be a success, such a success as
will make it a permanent institution, in
South Carolina.

Federal Appropriation a Beginning:

The recent appropriation by congress
to be used in improving the public
roads of the country was a decided vic
tory for those who have advocated
government aid. While the amount is
comparatively small, considering the
r tremendous area that must be covered,
yet it is beginning in the right direc-
ton. 1t means much to have the ma
tional government commit itself to this
new policy, that of aiding the States
in improving their roads.
Under the appropriation that becomes
available the first year, South Carroll
mas portion is only ST., SO7, which is
not a large sum to be apportioned
among 45 counties. However, this is
only a beginning. When the first rural
delivery routes were established the an
nual appropriation was small but as pub
lie sentiment increased, demanding the
lengthening of established routes and
the establishment of new ones, the ap-
preparations steadily grew. So it will
be with the road building ~appropria-
lions.
A beginning has been made in the
right direction, and much real benefit
to the people will follow, especially to
those who reside in the rural districts.
