THE MOVING PICTURE FIGHT.

Rock Hill is the center of an inter
esting if not important fight by the
exhibitors of moving pictures on
one side and the health authorities
on the other. AS The News unde. =
stands the situation. the health au-
thorities ordered the picture shows
closed as a step toward preventing
the spread of influenza the exhibi-
tors refused to comply with the or
der; the local health board appealed
to the state board, the state board to
ter said he had nothing to do with it
and refused to take action. The
state health board then appealed to
the attorney general and the gov
ernor and the picture shows we're
closed
These exhibitors, or one of the ex-
hibitors, appealed to Judge Ernest
Moore for an injunction restraining
the health authorities from interfer-
ing with the show houses. and Judge
Moore granted an "order to show
cause" but refused to restrain the
health board and the shows remain
closed. This order is returnable to-
day and the decision of the Judge in
the matter is awaited with some in
terest. not alone locally but over the
state.
The "dssatisfHctio on the part
of the movie exhibitors appears to
be wholly in the fact that other in
dustries and enterprises. principally
the schools and churches. were not
ordered closed and they claim the
closing of their places of business is
discriminatory. The health board
not knowing the extent of it's au-
thority in the premises. appealed to
the attorney-general for decision
and it was held that the board has
authority to take such action as is
deemed necessa to safeguard the
public health"
The decision which will be am
nounced today by Judge Moore will
at least set at rest any speculation
or doubt as to authority. unless tho.
should take the matter to
the higher court in the event OF q
decision adverse to their conten-
tions, and if such course is followed
th" ban will perhaps be raised in thei
meantime. and the show houses per
mitted to reopen, and the exhibitors
will see that it would have been
eminently better for their interests
had they taken their medicine in /,
good humor.

OPPOSED TO ITH

We gather from an article in the
State that that paper opposes wo-
man suffrage by federal amendment.
at least, if not by all means. The
State says that advocacy of woman
suffrage by federal amendment by
South Carorinians is confession that
the people of South Carolina are
hopelessly wanting in the character
and the conscience to do Justice
themselves to their own women. 1t,
is an appeal to outsiders to lash and
drive them into a path OF righteous
ness that they are then too blind and
wicked to discover and tread"
We fear the State has worked it
self into frenzy needlessly and is
itself appealing to sentiment from
q rather narrow viewpoint. We
have been in the habit of going to
the state courts when we cannot get
what we want in the county courts;
to the United Safes courts when the
state courts fail to give what we
think we ought TO have. South
Carolina is we should say. a vastly
important part of the nation, not
separate and distinct from the other
parts, and, furthermore, what con-
gress does in the matter of suffrage
is only what we do ourselves What
is congress? Why, representatives
OF the states; or, you might say, the
states themselves joined together in
an effort to pass laws that will be Of
benefit TO the union of states.
That definition accepted We fear
the State is wrong in asserting that
some Of the states may thrust suf-
frage upon other states who do not
want it. The same argument was
used, if our memory serves us right.
