any obligation to listen to the die
tates of his party.
There are good reasons why these
officers should be appointed by the
Governor. The law recognized the
fact by providing for their appoint
ment. These reasons readily suggest
themselves to the thoughtful. These
reasons are more impelling than any
considerations Of party. Until these
reasons are considered and the law
followed there will always be trouble
in securing a proper assessment Of
property for taxation in the state.
The tax assessing and tax collecting
officers Of the state should not be
embarrassed in the performance Of
their duties by being threatened by
this and the other democrat that the
latter will remember the officer in
the next election. -
When we get to be governor we
expect to enforce the law as it is
written = Perhaps that is a reason
Why we will never be, but then we
don't care,

THE CULT OF BAD MANNERS.

Is there a school of bad manners
in Washington attended by the
young men and youths of the capt.
tai, where they are taught to ignore
the precepts of politeness? Is Their,
a new cult of conduct among the
Younger generation based aaonsst he
idea that it is smart and proper to
be in different to other peoples
comfort, to treat women with disres-
pect and as worthy of no special
consideration? Surely, there are evil
dences of such teachings. In the
street cars and other places of pub
lie assemblage and association these
ideas prevail to a degree that dis
t~resses those who still hold to the no
ton that youth should be polite and
that women should be given courte-
Gus attention.
At any hour of the day IN this city
he spectacle may be witnessed of
young men sitting in the ears while
women stand in the aisles. These
young men have perhaps-have pro-
oably-dashed into the lars at the
stopping points ahead of the women

gard for even the outgoing passen-
gers. 1t is sadly true that it is ex-
ceptional to see q young mar arise

FOLLOW THE LAW.

In Columbia last week the Govern
or spent a good part of his time in
an investigation as to the fitness of
a man, nominated in the primary,
for the office of Auditor for Hamp-
ton County. The evidence has been
taken and the Governor is soon to
act in the matter. We trust that he
will reach alright decision.
We may suggest that there would
be no trouble in securing good men
for the Offices of auditor and treas
urer in Hampton County, nor in any
other county, if only the Governor
would follow the law and appoint
these officers.
1t is true that the Governor is a
democrat and that the democratic
party has made provision for nomi-
mating these officers in the primary,
q TACT which shows that in some
matters at least the democratic par
ty should not be allowed to "func-
tion," but the Governor is the Gov
ernor, not of the democrats but, of
the whole of South Carolina, and his
oath of Office requires him to obev
and enforce the laws and constitu-
ton OF the state. Under these laws
he is required to "appoint" these Of
hcers. He should not allow any other
person, nor any party, to do what the
law requires that he do. He should
obey the law without feeling under

THE WOMAN MUST
49,. BE PUNISHED.

Frances Schmartz, a young white
woman, last: week was convicted by a
jury in the court of General Sessions
of Spartanburg county Of being &C
cessory to the assault and robbery of
her uncle, w. E. AGREE, at Wexford
last January.
Special. Circuit Judge VIM. P.
Greene of Abbeville sentenced her
to be imprisoned for seven years in
the county jail or on the county
chaingang. w. F. Oates and S. N.
Fisher, who pleaded guilty as princi-
pals in the crime, were sentenced for
the same term.
So the woman will be punished to
exeactly the same extent as the men
involved in the case.
The action of the Spartanbure
jury is unusual, for it has long been
the habit in this country to let &C.
cused women off because Of thei,
sex.
The twelve good men and true Of
Spartanburg county are entitled to
vigorous commentator for then
course. They have upheld justice
and the right. They would not BIZ
moved by silly and dangerous senti'
mentality.
If the evidence proves that a WON
an is guilty of crime, she should be
found guilty and punished just as il
she were a man.
Her sex should never be a bar to
her conviction and punishment
The newspapers have carried many
stories within the last year of WON
en- who have killed their husbands
or other people and who have been
acquitted merely because Of their
sex.
This is sheer defiance of the law.
As long as women guilty of crime
60 unpublished, other women will feel
safe in committing crime.
Under the new order, woman is
on an equality with man before the
law. Equal. rights mean also equal
responsibility for her acts and equal
punishment for violation of the law.

E IN THE SWIM.

The principal product OF Spartan
burg County, as we were told by a
former. Abbeville man now one OF
the leading citizens of the City Of
Success Charley Hammond), is
character cloth. This cloth is made
in a mill which is under the super
vision Of Mr.. Hammond and which
is u by young men who desire to
obtain an education in mill matters
through their own efforts. They work
in the mill one week and attend
school the next week and thus pay
for their learning. The mil is not run
for profit, but as an educational in
stitution, and it is doing a fine work.
But it makes the finest of cotton
goods-character cloth, they call it
in Spartanburg as we said. The cloth
is, used for making fine dresses for
ladies and for shirts for e 1t
sells for a dollar the yard. Mr.. Ham,
mond is planning to send two short
patterns to Vice President Coolidge
and two dress patterns to Mrs. Cool
idge. He expects them to be the cob
served of all observers" in Washing
ton when they appear dressed in
garments of this cloth. It is also ex-
pected that shirts and dresses from
this product will make their appear
ance on .Greenville Street in Able
vile. This should have the effect of
making shirts and dresses "of char
acter cloth" the real thing in fine
wearing apparel the present season.
incidentally it will be a national ad-
vertisement for the Spartanburg pro-
duct.
The whole scheme is being engi-
neered by Maj. J. c. Hemphilg Of
the ~Spartanburg Journal, who die
tates styles still as he used to do in
Charleston when a big banquet was
to be given. One lady who knows
more about such matters than he, we
think, suggested that it would be
better to send Mrs. Coolidge only
one dress, but he insists that she
shall have "a change"
Those who desire to keep up with
the procession and to be in style
with the people at Washington and
on Greenville Street may take no
tice, Mr.. Hammond will answer all
inquiries, and send samples.
