AS to whether car fare from Camp
jackson to Columbia Is or 10 cents
is a matter of no concern to us. We
are inclined to think that 10 cents
would be nearer right than cents;
but that is not the question. Here
was a solemn commercial agreement
presumably n the best of good faith
by both parties. The camp was es-
tablished and the street car company
failed to live up to its part of the
agreement. giving as its reason that 1t
had made a bad trade. The house
sought to compel compliance, and
the senate apparently concurred;
but in view of developments there Is
ground for suspicion that this concur
renee was not in good faith. There
could very easily have been an under
standing by which the governor was
to hold the bill up until after the cam
paign was over and then veto it.
Anyhow, that is what happened.

AS matters now stand boys comint

AS matters now stand boys coming
home from the army are liable to poll
tax. This is unquestionably true OF
those who have been discharged since
January l. 1t is probably true OF
those who have been discharged since
January 1. There is no provision for
exemption. Apparently it is small
matter, and really it is not. If man
does not pay his poll tax, he cannot
vote. In effect he loses his citizenship.
Are those soldiers who went into the
army, who crossed over to France VINO
were too busy defending and preparing
to defend their country, to think about
taxes, to be deprived Of their citizen
ship for a few dollars? If such thing
is done will the reflection rest on US or
on the boys?

The Greenville Piedmont announc-
ed in it's issue of last Friday that Mr..
Rion McKissick, editor Of the Green
vile News, had purchased the COM
mon stock Of the paper, and would
control it's news and editorial policy,
while George R. Koester, former edi-
tor and owner. would continue as busi-
ness manager. It was announced not
long ago that Mr.. Peace. for some time
publisher of the Greenville News, had
acquired a controlling interest in that
paper. Just what 1t all means, we do
not know; but we have reason to think
that the truth of the matter is that
both papers have passed under the
same ownership-that while Mr.. Peace,
as holder of the common stock OF the
News, is the nominal owner of that pa

An Attractive Offer

L. M. Crisis Sons are offering $25
for the largest club Of new subscrib-
ers to The Enquirer returned and paid
for by o'clock p. m, March 8, not
counting, Of course, any name that was
returned before February /. Up to
this time no single clubmaker has re-
turned as many as one dozen subscrib-
ers under this offer, and the indications
are that this $25 Is going to somebody
for very small club. But even IL the
largest club does not include half
a dozen names, the maker thereof gets
the $25.

There is more or less talk Of Japan

about the matter that Japan does not
exactly like; but Japan will no doubt
do exactly what she is told to do.

the Federal reserve board. That board
can make prices whatever it wants to
make them by regulating the discount

chase of site for a postoff1ce In

The Bird Law.
Magistrate A. ]. Quinn of Kings
Mountain township, calls the attention
Of The Enquirer to the fact that the
last amendment to the bird law in
York county was in the acts Of 1915,
and according to that amendment 1t
has been unlawful to shoot partridges
since February /. The statement In
The Enquirer giving March / as the
date when the closed season goes into
effect, was made on the authority Of
pamphlet just received from the state
game warden, quoting an act Of 1915.
The pamphlet is dated April, 1918.
Magistrate Quinn, however, Is correct.
It has been unlawful to shoot par
tridges in this county since February 1.
