perfume in the Early Aces

From the very earliest ages man has
loved sweet odors. In the Bible we
read of the burning Of incense on the
affairs and the very word nerfumery
(under which head we may include
oil delicate fumes or smells} comes
from the Latin fumus, smoke or vapor.
The early Egyptians knew the use of
the still. and adapted it to the separa-
ton of the odorous principle from
fragrant. plants. but the most ancient
odors were drawn from natural gums
such as camphor, myrrh and CHINA
mon.

such evidence is the only means to
secure a new trial, is but a bid for
perjury. The Supreme Court of the
state has recognized this fact and
has thrown many safeguards around
the consideration of this kind of evil
dence. The evidence which has been
concealed at a former trial, and
which is produced on the eve Of an
execution, should be of little weight
in the trial of cases. Should a new
trial be granted frequently on this
kind of evidence the Journal would
have just cause to complain.
How can the Supreme Court upon a
printed record say that tnere is a
reasonable doubt? The judges do not
see the witnesses, they do not know
them, they are strangers. to the de-
meanor of the witnesses on the stand
and it would be as unsafe to Try a
case on a printed record; ;ss IT. would
be: to- try olt hearsay evidence. :.
AS. long ;as the world stands mis-
takes will be made. New TRIALS are
infrequently granted in this state.
There should be no criticism of the
courts when they are granted. There
is enough of criticism of the funda-
mentals in this country without max
ing the peoplsgdissatisfied with the
administration of justice. There is a
just now to believe that
everything may be improved upon,
and that all decisions are reached on
considerations other than Of justice.
But we do not believe it. Until news
paper men are the judges and juries,
men will have fair trials in this
country, and will be tried by the Or
derly processes of the court. The
combined experience of hundreds of
years will not give place to any con-
siderations of expediency, not even
when it is sought to electrocute a
man on other than legal evidence.
If the man deserves eIectrocution
it will not be difficult to secure an
other jury in Greenville County to
say so. u

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AND WHAT IT is.

The question rises in the minds of
every one who would be interested
in such an organization. We will not
attempt to say ourself, but will give
you the, definition that the United
States Chamber of Commerce has
given. 1t follows:
"A Chamber of Commerce is an
organization through which public
spirited citizens in a community may
express themselves collectively on
questions of community welfare and
through which they may make their
collective desires effective. 1t is
ba:ed upon the well recognized pr1n-
cipal that more can be accomplished
by working together for a common
purpose than by individual effort. .
The Chamber of Commerce does
net attempt to usurp the functions
u the local city government, but CO.
operates with and assists govern
n.ent and all other proper agencies
authorized for special purposes. Its
work is to ascertain what the local
problems are, formulate plans for
their solution and then proceed to
solve them. The problems as ascer-
tanned and determined upon from
its program of activities, and COM
ra;ttees are appointec TO make the
program effective improve con-
ditions found to need Improvement
and to eliminate evils found to exist.
In order to attain it's maximum ef-
ticiency the organization should have
wise counsellors, aggressive leader
ship and enthusiastic workers. AS
the welfare of business namely, agri-
culture, industry, commerce and
transportation, is closely interviewer
with that of the community, most of
whose members are engaged in busi-
ness of one of these sorts, the Cham
Der of Commerce does nos conhne it.

WARREN VS.. GARDNER

SOuclCOr george warren Oh
Hampton, candidate for the United
States senate, started something he
didn't expect when he wrote a letter
toDr. G. W. Gardner, Baptist minis
ter and former editor of the
Greenwood Journal, announcing his
platform.
Whether Mr.. Warren intends to
do so or not, the mere fact that in
his platform is plank dealing with
the alleged intrusion upon the
sacred premises of States Rights by
the provisions of the Volstead act
the the name of this can
didate is connected with black
berry wine and hard cider. At least
this is the impression gained by DR..
Gardner as is exemplified in his red
hot. reply to Mr.. Warren's letter Of
announcement.
Quite warm controversy has de-
veloped which as good reading mat
ter has ended all too sudden by DR..
Gardner's statement in his last let
ted to the solicitor that $50 far as I
am concerned the matter is ended"
Some excerpts from both sides will
give an. idea of the sentiments of
the doctor and the candidate for
senator. The letter from DR.. Gard.
ner that irritated the senatorial
candidate contains this paragraph:
GAS soon as I saw your announce
ment for the United States senate
in the newspapers months ago I
made up my mind what to do for
you. We have the liquor devil on the
run and why do you wish on the
States rights to help hold him up?
We do not need any specious plea
and it is not going to deceive our
people. eW want no light wine busi-
ness which means pulling down the
bars and let the liquor people in.
South Carolina is very well satis-
fled iw tn the Volstead act land the
ouly thing she and all the states
need is to have it enforced. No
doubt the liquor pepole will rally to
your support, and if you cared to
accept it, they would gladly put big
money in the campaign in your be-
half, but you may count upon all
prohibitionists to look we'll after
men of your views"
Replying to this Mr.. Warren
writes:
"You have a perfect right to write
these opinions for the public print;
you have ap erfect right to vote
against me and work against me;
but neither you nor any other man
has right to intimate or suggest
that l am in any way connected
with the liquor interests or that I
may be the recipient of big money
from them, and, when anyone does
so be he man or devil, saint or sin
ner, pastor or layman, he intimates
or suggests what is untrue. Palmer
words could be used"

CREEPING PALSY
IN ELECTRIC LINES
From Prices Fixed When Costs
We're Less.
HOWARD MANNIkGTOh SPEAKS

The Late Secretary Of the Public
Utilities Commission Says They
Can't Long Compete With Trucks
Running Free on Roads the Farm
ers Pay For.
1T does seem as though there
ought to be some sort of reason
able solution to the traction prob
lem,' said Howard Warrington, late
secretary Of the Public Utilities Com
mission.
The street railways and interur-
bans all are sick. Very sick. They
have been hit harder than any other
of the hard-hit public utilities within
the past few years There's the auto
mobile. 1t has taken lot of business
away from the street car. Not only
passenger business, but the freight
business that was looked upon as the
ultimate salvation of the interurbans
The automobile takes the farmer to
town and his crops to market.
In straightaway competition the
traction line and the auto truck might
each find it's own field in the freight
carrying business, but under existing
conditions the automobile delivery
line has all the best of it. 1t isn't reg
ulated The traction and steam roads
have fixed rates. They must be
posted. Overcharges are not allowed
But the owner of an automobile deliv-
cry business can get the rates of his
steam and traction competitors and
g1age his own rates accordingly, care
fally underselling them where there
is a likelyhood of competition and
just as carefully overcharging the
patrons where the field is open.
Its Isn't Fair.
IF a street railway company can't
make money it can't give service. If
it can't give service the public suf-
fers. If it can't make money it can
not make improvements If it is a
losing venture capital will not be in
vested in it. 1t can not borrow for
new cars nor new rails nor exten-
sions nor pay good wages. So the
fool public that opposes leniency to-
ward electric roads is opposing itself.
The Public Utilities Commission
ought to be given authority to knock
some of the franchise restrictions
into cooked hat. Nine people out of
ten, if they stop to think, will agree
that the present situation in regard
to electric railways is utterly intoler-
able. Don't you think so?"

100000 BABIES

Caused by Low Wages, Says
Secretary of Labor

Washington. his annual report
Secretary of Labor Wilson includes

children's bureau. an affiliate of his
department, that low wages is respon-
sible for the deaths of babies.
1t is stated that over 100000 ba-
bies less, thar / yeas old die annual
ly, and that these infant deaths are
controllable almost without excep-
ton.
Poverty is a constant condition
of the highest infant morality rates
and the rates steadily improve as in
come increases to a good living stand.
ard" says the report.
"More than 10000 mothers die
yearly from causes incident to child
bearing, and i'll health is suffered by
a vast number of others from the
same cause. These deaths and dis
abilities are known to be needless;
among women who can command
adequate care their proportions are
greatly reduced.
"In the interest of humanity and of
sound national economy adequate care
for maternity and infancy should be
universally available. The lessening
rates of infant mortality in the United
States for the last few years are emo
couraging. They indicate the effect
of many scattered public and volun-
teer activities for infant welfare, but
the reduction is far too low. New
Zealand still shows much lower rate
than our best states, and the United
States is eighth from the head of the
list of countries judged by the favor
able character of their infant mortal
ity rates.
'The best available world figures
for maternal mortality show that the
United States is fourteenth down the
list; that is, the life of the mother
is safer in 13 other countries than
in the United States"

STRIKE IS OVER
Declares Court and Bars
PicketS

Toledo, Ohio.--Federal Judge Kill
let's has made another record as an
injunction judge by declaring that the
strike against the Overland Automo-
bile Company is over and that pickets
will not be permitted
The court ruled that strikers who
remained off the pay roll could not be
classed as employees of the company.
Judge Killets had previously inti-
mated that he would take this action
because, he said, he did not desire to
continue to be responsible Trade
unionists have let this court know
that the best way he can acquit him
self of responsibility in the Overland
strike is to cease usurping the func-
tions of public officials and permit
workers to control their own affairs.
The strike started last May when
the company attempted to lengthen
the work day. Previously the COM
pany had attempted to install an al
legged profit sharing scheme Other
working conditions were also objec-
tionable.
One of the company's selling agen-
cies appealed to Judge Killets for on
injunction on the ground that its
business was interfered with. The
court complied by limiting picketing
and placing a court official in charge
of the plant. Several citizens have
been killed by company guards.
Now Judge Killets again steps to
the front and officially declares the
strike off.
