LAKE CITY LEADS
With Timmonsville Second and Mul'
lins Third in Tobacco Sales

The largest tobacco crop ever pro
duced in South Carolina is indicated
by figures for the month OF August
made public by the Department OF
Agriculture. More tobacco was sold
in August of this year than in any
other August. The price too has been
higher than for any year save one,
and that was 1918. The total value
of the South Carolina tobacco sold
in August was nearly twelve million
dollars, a million more than for the
same month last year.
The total number of pounds OF TO-
bacco sold in August was 47,2O3,79S'
bringing the producers S11,9S9, ,ll6.
The average price was 1888 cents.
The average August price last year
was 24.6S cents, and for 1918, 3o.4o
cents. The highest price prior TO
1918 FOR August was 21 cents. The
August tobacco exceeded the pounds
for the same month last year by
three million.
There are twenty-nine tobacco
markets in the State, the largest
being at Lake City. Timmonsville is
second and Mullins is third. Kings
tree is fourth. There are seventy
seven warehouses in the State for to-
bacoc. The total tobacco business,
counting sales by warehousemen and
dealers, as we'll as producers, amount
ed during August 10 over five million
pounds and over fourteen million
dollars.
The sales for producers at the to-
bacco markets of the State in Au-
gust were as follows:

Dillon, 5. c., September 16, 1920

We do not like the spirit the chair
man of the Democratic party III BeIu-
fort county showed in refusing al the
eleventh hour TO hold a second Dri-
mary in his county, because there
were no locarcandidates running, but
we agree with him in the position
he takes that it is not fair to make
the. candidates for county Offices pay
all the election expenses. 1t mas
been the rule since the first primary
was held to assess the county candl-
dates to meet election expenses. The
county committee has no right to levy
an assessment against candidate Tor
a State or Federal office, and the bur-
den has been carried by the candi-
dates for county Offices. The cost OF
holding an election averages about
SIS for each precinct, exclusive Oh
the cost of printing the tickets. oaths'
returns, etc. The Australian ballot
system will impose additional burdens
In the way of extra expense in the
erection of voting booths. If candi-
dates for State and Federal offices
are required to bear half the expense
in all the counties of the State the
cost of running for State or Fedora!
office will be so high that only very
wealthy men can afford to run fol
these offices. 1t has been suggested
that the State make an Appropriation
to cover primary election expenses
but as the primary is a party organl-
zation and not State or public or
ganizatlon in the full sense and mean
ing of the term it is questionable
whether the General Assembly would
have the right to make levy for TINS
purpose. The situation presents sew
eral serious phases. 1t is manifestly
unfair to place the entire burden on
the shoulders of the candidates for
county offices, and if the election en-
penses are divided equally or even
pro rated the cost of running toi
office will be so high that few men
would care to enter the lists. If the
State has no right to make an appro-
priation for this purpose there is only
one way out of the difficulty-the
abolition of the primary system.

ARE THESE LAWS ENFORCED?

The Lancaster News digs up two
dust-covered laws which it says are
"clear and understandable but which
have "been completely forgotten
One of the laws relates to the throw
ing of glass bottles, nails, scrap. iron
and other articles of a like nature
in the public highways, and the 9TH
er makes it a mlsdemeanor for a
child under IL years of age to drive
a motor vehicle on the public high
ways. The first law is openly and
flagrantly violated, and the second
law is so dead in spirit that
probably not dozen people in Dillon
county know that it is on the statute
books.
The use of the motor car as a We
hicle of transportation is increasing
every day, and it might be well to
keep these laws before the public.
We are reproducing them for the ben
eft of our readers, and incidentally
for the information of our peace Of
ficers:
Act No. 377 is as follows: "Be it
enacted by the General Assembly OF
South Carolina: That from and after
the passage of this act II shall be a
, misdemeanor for any person 10 place,
throw or leave any broken glass,
glass bottles, scrap iron, tin cans or
pointed nails within any highway IN
the state of South Carolina, and any
person violating the terms OF this
act shall be fined not less than ten
dollars nor more than fifty dollars, or
be imprisoned not less than ten days
nor more than thirty days. Said
fines 10 20 to the public school funds
oil the county in which the offense
was committed"
Act No. 489 reads. "oectlon /. -
Be it enacted by the General Assem-
bly, of South Carolina: That it shall
be unlawful for the owner of any au-
tomobile or other motor vehicle to
allow any minor under the age of
twelve years to drive or operate such
automobile or other motor vehicle
upon the public highways of the
state.
Section 2.-That it shall be un-
lawful for any minor under the age
of twelve years to- drive or operate
any automobile or other motor vehi-
Gle upon the public highways of the
state, whether the same be with the
consent OF the parents or guardians
or not.
Section 3-That any person or
persons allowing or consenting to a
minor under twelve years driving or
operating his or their car against the
provisions of Sections l, of this act,
shall be guilty of misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof, shall be fin
ed in a sum not exceeding one hun
dred ($100) dollars, or be imprison-
ed upon the county chain gang for
period of not exceeding thirty days.
Section 4-That any minor un-
der the age of twelve years who vlo-
Iates the provisions of Section 2, OF
This act. shall be guilty of misde-
meanor, and, upon conviction there
of. shall be liable to the same penalty

THE CHICAGO WHIP

presented TO secure one OF the churches that
were in the market for sale, which could com
fortably accommodate the vast number OF
people that attended Bethel church services.
Notwithstanding the assistance promised by
all the pastors of the churches in Chicago to
sary amount OF money to take over one of
these churches, his pleas to the pastor and
officers on both occasions were ignored. 1t
is evident by such action Bethel church has
lost its opportunity to become what the
Bishop and ministers of the A. M. +. church
throughout the connection hoped for, of be
coming the strongest, most constructive and
most progressive working church in the
African Methodist Episcopal denomination
Various reasons have been given by the
pastor and officers in regard to their failure
and friends of Bethel for more seating
capacity. AS evidence that the condition
could have been changed by the members of
Bethel is the TACT that all the colored churches
OF any prominence in the city OF Chicago
rose equal to the demand and have done
ton OF their respective church work. Proof
OF this statement, we can point to Olivet
Baptist church, Rev. l.. X. Williams Saint
Marys church OF our own connection, Rev.

the Bishops are paid fat salaries taken from

receive a salary OF $3,s00.00 per year. The
