WHITE SUPREMACY THE ISSUI

WHITE SUPREMACY THE. ISSUE.
F.. The statement of United States SEM
ator Phelan of California, published
elsewhere, shows clearly why Cali
fornia must needs be taking steps to
protect her racial purity, as well as
her religious anu commercial status
in the nation. Last week the South
Carolina house of representatives,
without a dissenting voice, passed a
resolution indorsing the stand Of
California and expressing sympathy
with her efforts to preserve white civ
ilization. On this issue we can afford
to take no other stand. And yet it
looks as if the problem Will before
long grow so acute that nothing but
war, with all it's horrors, will settle
it permanently. We trust some other
way out will be found, but if it must
come then it will have to be borne.
With California oveFpih .Hows long
would it be befoIei*another state
would: fall before the invasion?
Though California is a long way from
us we are .vitally interested in the
question. May the solution be peace

A. GOOD MOVE.

In the judgment Of this newspaper
the house Of representatives was wise
n its decision to suspend for one. year
tue two-rniiI tax for roads which was
put on at the ls2osegsion. So far as
we a1sseencerpsa it mf*ht'se suspend
ed s,ndsani.ely The Funds arising
from this tax could not be used by the
counties anyway, but; were expended
under the direction OF highway co rn-
mission: It. seems to us that the duly
accredited representatives of a county
should be the only ones to levy a tax
for road work, which must be done
entirely in the: county: =, We. are not
specially in love with the principle Of
this tax, but we were willing to see
the plan given a. trial., So far as Lex
ington county is concerned, it.appears
now that it will not be a very great
while before all Of the mileage in the
state system in this county will be put
in good shape and what will the high
way commission do with the two-mill
tax and the auto license fees? Certain
" if collected they ought to be spent
on the cross-country roads and
bridges, but nobody has any idea. that
the highway commission would<sanc-
ton such use Of these funds. 1t may
make for efficiency but it seems rather
poor business that we must beg COM
mission in Columbia to. allow us to
use our own money, collected for our
own roads, and be forced to apply it
as said commission might see, fit. We
haven't got anywhere much with road
building so far, and maybe we won't,
and maybe it will be better if we
| don't If VIE havesto sdrrehder our ini-
tiative and leave the bars, down for
blaming conditions on the highway
commission. So: far as Lexington
county is concerned the tax might
well be suspended Indefinitely.

my rounds over the county. All per-
sons liable for taxes who have not
already made their returns would do

year 1921. Fully 5000 taxpayers
have not returned and it would be
we'll to come and attend tc this and

You will find when you pay your
taxes next fall that it is better to re-
turn than to not retIrn and pay so
per cent. penalty. After February

turns and the so per cent. penalty will
be added for failure on your part in

SOME GENERALIZATION.

It is to be hoped that Attorney Cen
eral Wolf will win the suit to prevent
the interstate commerce commission
to repeal a law Of the state of South
Carolina by fixing the rates to be
charged by railroads within the state.
We are glad that our state attorney
general takes the stand he does, but
we very much fear that he is fighting
a losing battle. just the same we say
more power to him. So rapidly has
>centralization been accomplished that
nothing need surprise us now, and
the action of the interstate commerce
commission in ordering a three and
one-half cent passenger rate when
they must have known that our state
law provides for three cents is only in
line with present tendencies. We can
not destroy the railroads. If they
must have increased revenues to keep
by all. means let have them in
reason. But when it comes to COM
mission in Washington multiplying the
law Of once sovereign state it
seems to us that we have certainly
wandered far afeld from the ideals of
our forefathers. Maybe the pendulum
will swing back the other way some
day. Maybe.

our opinion they will be sadly fooled.
And when those who have to buy cot
ton realize that the reduction has ac-
tually taken place there will be de-
%cided improvement in the market If
the whole cotton belt reduces in pro-
portion to what now appears a
settled fact in this state. When the
price Of cotton goes up sufficiently
we may look for a revival in trade in
these parts.

Winter wheat.-The unusual warm
weather for the past two weeks has

and conditions are rather promising,

Oats.-Prespects continue promis-

rains, especially on low lands.
. Rye.-Condition good to excellent.
Cotton.-Little or no preparations
made to date for coming crop, while
by this time last year many farmers
had finished hauling their fertilizers.
Reports indicate that no fertilizers for
cotton have been delivered to date.
Potatoes.-Preparat for spring
planting being made in coastal coun-

possibly show decrease. .
Tobacco-Seed beds have been
planted and termination in many are
noted.
Live stock.-Contrary to custom Of
former years, very few, if any mules
,or horses for farm purposes have
been shipped into the State this year.
Practically all fattening hogs have
been killed and "cured'' in excellent
condition:
Miscellaneous.-Ver little plowing

couraged, and appear to be taking
very little interest in preparing for
