MeLAURIN's RESIGNATION.

Hon. John L. McLaurin has re-
signed as Warehouse Commissioner,
his resignation to take effect when
his successor is elected. As: one Of
the promoters of the Warehouse
System, Mr.. McLaurin was placed
at its head, in the hope that he
would be able to work it out for the
benefit Of the people Of the state.
At least it was felt that if it failed
the failure should be laid at the
door of its friends. If there was
a man in the state competent to
manage the system and make it a
success, his friends thought Mr..
NcLaurin was the man.
But the Warehouse System has
not been a success in South Carolina
in Mr.. McLaurin's view, largely be-
cause he has not had either the good
will or the support Of the faction in
politics opposed to him. His recon-
mendations to the legislature have
not received the consideration he
hoped for, and he has, therefore,
been unable to develop the system
along the lines which seemed to him
advisable.
For this reason, and because he
| is in disfavor with the present state
administration, and with the domi.
nant faction in the legislature, by
reason of his active support Of Mr..
Blease in the recent primary elec.
ton, Mr.. McLaurin believes that the
Warehouse System is doomed to
failure unless someone friendly to
the administration is elected as
Commissioner. He, therefore, re-
signs in order that the Warehouse
System may live. -, :
We do not think that the Ware
house System will amount to much
under the leadership Of any other
man, unless the state contents it
self with making and enforcing GER
tair regulations for the proper man.
agement Of privately owned ware
houses. The state has no more to
do with the warehouse business than
it has to do with the grocery busi-
ness, and the end Of the present
system will prove it. Mr.. McLaurin's
resignation will not cure the ills
which aflict the system, nor those
which are to come hereafter.

THE LORDS PRAYER.

We protest against the rendering
of that part of the Lords prayer,
which is by some people rendered
thus: "Forgive US our debts as we
forgive our debtors" We are not
a bible student and we could not,
if we tried, translate the language
in which the prayer is written into
English, but we are willing to hazard
the guess that the word which is
translated "debts' should be trans
lated "trespasses," and the word
which is rendered as debtors, should
be translated "those who trespass
against u.s."
| Of course we know that there is
a broader meaning to the word
"debt" than that commonly given
it, and it is used sometimes to in
clude all our obligations, including
the duty to make reparation for
wrongs, but as commonly under
stood the word "debt" refers to
our financial obligations. The Lords
prayer should be so rendered that
the little children, and the women,
and others, should not draw from it
the wrong impression. There is no
bankrupt court in the final adjudica-
ton on mems lives through which
we may hope to escape these debts.
Neither is there in the public or in
dividual conscience. The state takes
away the remedy to recover debts
in some cases, but even with it, the
debt still stands as a moral obliga-
ton, which will support new pro-
mise.
The word "trespass" in the law,
and as generally understood, signi-
fes "a wrong" and it includes a
wrong of any kind. These wrongs
for which we ask forgiveness are
such invasions of the rights of
others, as are not to be compensated
with money, they are separate and
distinct from our "debts," and the
Prayer should be SO rendered.

POLITICS IN THE PAST.

We are told now and again by
some people that they are getting
painfully sick of politics and politi.
cal conditions in South Carolina
This man and the other threatens
never to vote again in the primaries
because things are so "rotten." They
sigh for the good old days following
the founding of the republic when
men sought only the public good
and when offices in silver walters
went around hunting the right men
And most of us think, sometimes
that the times are "out of joint"
and that things are going from bad
to worse, when the truth is that the
worst we have now is better than
what we had just at the time when
jefferson and Madison and Monroe
were at the head of affairs in the
republic, at which time we have
heretofore heard that a man might
go to sleep without putting his money
in the bank, the politicians were so
pure and honest.
We do not ask you to take our
word for this statement. We ask
that you read the passage below
taken from "The Life and Legacy OF
David Rogerson Williams" just off
the press, with regard to the congress

RING OUT THE OLD.

Ring out wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the SHOWS;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more
Ring out the feud Of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life, T.
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the curse, the sin
The faithless coldness of the times.
Ring out, ring out my nnournfu

But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place ane
blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out all shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust OF gold
Ring out the thousand wars Of old,
Ring in the thousand years Of peace
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand ;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

they were very much surprised when

slonal race In the upper part on thls
state, within a generation OF the
close of the Revolution. It runs
thus:
"At old Pickensville, about thir-
teen miles from Greenville, the peo-
pie met on muster day, Septembe,
27, 1907, to hear the candidates talk
and speak. One of the candidates

Edward Hooker, teacher al
Ninety-Six, while rusticating in tho
mountains, wrote in his diary the
following description of the pro
ceedings at Pickensville:
"The three candidates for Con
gress, Alston, Hunter and Earle
were present electioneering with al
their might distributing whiskey
giving dinners, talking, and haran

time making similar exertions fol

time an astonished spectator Of 9

had never before Witnessed; a scene
ludicrous indeed when superfcisily
observed, but scene highly alarm

Doctor Hunter conducted with the
most dignity, or rather with the
least dignity, on this disgraceful oc-

fought for proseIytes and adherents

the bar-room to treat them; but

From the foregoing it would seem
that some of the older statesmen had
their ways of running politics as
well as the present day politicians,
and that politics had ways that
were dark and tricks which were
vain, even in the good old days Of
a hundred years ago. It was claimed
then by the Federalists that Thomas
Jefferson was "Bleaseite," or sone-
thing to the same general effect, and
he was supposed, in some respects,
to be a more dangerous man at the
head of affairs than even Woodrow
Wilson.

farmers-the majority-still think
that we are too far north and the
winter weather is too severe for the
weevil to survive, and so there will
be plenty of cotton planted here to
feed a great army Of weevl next
year, I fear. I am strongly Of, the
opinion, that the weevil will go !as
far north as cotton is grown and
that is his only limit.

BUILD GOOD ROADS,

AS we understand it, an engineer
connected with the United States
Government, who was in Abbeville
: last week to consult with our dele
cation in the General Assembly, ad-
;vyises that permanent roads may be
built in this county at one thousand
dollars per mile, and that these roads
may be kept in first class condition,
at all seasons, for an annual outlay
Of fifteen to twenty dollars per
mile. It is also promised that the
Federal Government will contribute
an amount equal to that appropri-
ated by the county for the purpose
Of constructing these roads.
Z. We believe that two hundred miles
of roadway in this county will give
i i thoroughfare from every point in
J. The county to Abbeville. II these
roads may now be built for two hum
dred thousand dollars, and the Fed
aral Government is willing to pay
One-haf of this amount, we are in
favor of the outlay. ..
d But we are in favor Of having a
Highway Commission to have charge
Of the expenditure Of the funds, with
provision that the roads must be
built by contract under the super
vision of civil engineer of expert
ence in roadbuilding, and the con-
tractor should be under bond in a
responsible surety company to con-
struct these roads in permanent
way. The act must prescribe the
roads to be built, and that the money
shall not be spent elsewhere or
otherwise.
We have been spending thousands
of dollars these many years on roads,
and little progress has been made.
That ancient institution known as
the :chain-gang, has been draining
the Golfers of Abbeville county for
many years, with little results in
the way of good roads. The same
old mud is piled in the middle of
the road occasionally to be washed
down in the bitches by the next
rain, and the fiasco goes on. It is
true that some progress has been
made at places in giving us wider
roads, and in building bridges where
they were needed, and here and
there the roads have been treated
with gravel so as to improve their
condition, but for the most part,
the roads have been leveled up with
mud from the adjoining lands, rem
dered impossible for season on
account Of rocks, grass and this
mud, and then beaten down to their
original condition, only to 60
through the same process again.
The time has really come, if it
will ever come, when the enormous
amounts of taxes paid by the people
of the county should be expended for
the permanent benefit of the public
and when such work as has been
done in the past should be discontin-
ued. We say this without adverse
criticism of any one man, because
one supervisor in the past has been
as bad as another. We are not
after any man but after intelligent
and thoughtful work on the part of
the authorities to see that we may
have good roads: And we will never
have these at the hands Of the poll
ticians. The public had as well wake
