and Charles Conaway claim to be the
champion quot pitchers of the several
lodges in this town. For some time there
has been great rivalry among the member
of the lodges as to who was champion
Fred Locates and William A. Wheeler
claimed to be unbeatable, but in a series
of games last night, Moore and Conaw
trimmed Locates and Wheeler while
large crowd looked on.
Quot pitching has been going on all
the winter in the lodges. several of which
meet in Odd Fellows Hall and it has been
the means of stimulating interest.

This is the fifth and last dividend ordered by the rourt, and completes the 100 per cent due the creditors. According to the state bank laws final dividends and settlements with creditors cannot the paid untilone year after the date of the closing of the institution, so the affairs of the bank cannot be finally settled until after July 1.

A GLOOMY PICTURE.

Did America fight the European
war in vain? James Hamilton Lewis,
prominent American citizen, some
times congressman and United States
senator, in an address before the
state bar association in Columbia last
week painted a rather gloomy pic
ture Of the state of our foreign rela-
tions. But it was a picture that was
hardly overdrawn, however discon-
certing it may be. We entered the
war for no territorial gain and came
out only with an enhanced prestige,
but the very nations who received the
most benefit from our timely entry
are apparently growing jealous of our
position and are feeling none too
kindly towards, US, because some of
their national aspirations were
thwarted by the peace treaty. To
eomplicate the situation the spectre
Of war with Japan grows daily lar
ger and we are faced with the alarm

PAY YOUR TAXES.

Whatever measures the legislature
may take towards postponing the pay
:ment of taxes, and it seems now if
some such measure is sure to pass,
though Governor Cooper is reported
TO be ready to veto it, everybody who
can possibly do so should pay their
taxes. In the first place it is by no
means certain that in the event the
governor should take the bull by the
: horns and veto the legislative will
sufficient votes could be mustered to
pass the extension over his veto, in
which case the penalty now provided
by law would apply. In the next
place it is absolutely essential to
maintain the credit of the county. go
do this the outstanding obligations
must be met when due. Unless they
are paid promptly collection charges
Will be added, thus entailing an addi-
tional burden of taxation which will

there is no certainty that unless the
outstanding notes are met promptly
that the county will be able to secure
sufficient funds for this years opera
ttions when it goes into the market
; this spring to borrow. An added
reason why taexs should be paid is
the fact that many OF the schools Of
the county will be seriously hendi-
capped, if indeed they are not forced
to close, unless taxes are paid.
Whether or not the time for taxes
is extended self interest demands
that the people Of Lexington county
pay their dues to the county at the
earliest moment they can find it pos
sible to do so.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1921,
a DISAPPOINTMENT.

Somehow or other we can't help
but confess a, little disappointment in
the failure of Clarendon county to
elect Miss Corinne Bar6eld member
Of the house Of representatives, to
fill vacancy caused by death. We
are forced to make the honest confess
sion that we had a lnawing curiosity
to see just how our first woman leg
isIator would function in bunch of
men and likewise what effect her
presence would have upon the afore-
said men-not that the house of rep
resentative is conducted in such a
way to make the presence of woman
embarrassing or Objectionable, but
that good behavior might still be
made better.
Besides a young woman who was
brave enough to attempt to be the
lone representative Of her sex in the
legislative halls and confessed to an
ambition to be the hrSt woman 70
enjoy the honor, might have con-
tributed something worth while to
the thought as well as the decorum
OF the body
But fate and the voters of Claren-
don county have decided otherwise.
and we are content to forego our
curiosity, in the full realization that
it will not be long deferred. Sooner
or later we will have some women
representatives What Improvement
they will make in our laws remains to
be seen. We are not disposed to
preiudge them, but await their COM
ing with curiosity and eauanin1ity.

The money value Of agricultural
products grown in South Carolina
in 1919 was s525, 100000. Notwith-
standing the fact that production in
1920 was greater, more cotton being
produced, more corn, potatoes and
!greater forage crops grown, and
more hogs raised, the money value Of
last years crops was only little
more than one-half that Of the small
Ter crops Of the previous year, or
S2S2, 100000. The lower value of the
larger crops came about through the
slump in market prices.
California, however, has i differ
ent story to tell. The money value of
the agricultural products grown in
that state in 1919 was S475, 100000.
In 1920, instead Of falling off nearly
fifty per cent as in South Carolina,
there was only comparatively small
decrease, the money value of the Cali
fornia crops for last year being $751;
O00,0 900.
Here is Il striking illustration Of
what is tc be- accomplished through
the provision of proper marketing
facilities. 1t is this comparison, the
lack of these on the one hand, and on
other the functioning of modern mar
keting machinery, that makes the diff
ference California farmers had made
provision for marketing their pro-
ducts after these had been made.
South Carolina farmers made the soil
to produce in greater abundance, but
had trusted to providence to provide
a favorable market.

sing prospect OF facing d wily ,s:tc ny
|siIo |no means unprepared enemy with a
tt3eafons and sulking world looking on
with little interest unless it be hostile.
Great Britain. with an eye always
tonen for the main chance, has grab
hea off immense territories, under
the guise Of mandatories. which she
is exploiting to the utmost for her
own benefit. France, seeing that she
is being outstripped by her neighbor,
is beginning to do likewise, while
ITALY. because she could not add still
larger territories as result Of war, is
Ipeeved and sulky.
But the case is not hopeless. 1t is
to be remembered that the govern
ment of the United States has scarce
ly been functioning for some time.
and the failure Of the Senate to ac-
cept the league of nations has left US
without a voice in the settlement Of
problems vitally aeffcting our own
interests.
The right kind of diplomacy may
soon set things going better Tor us.
But it is going to require real states
manship. The next president will
have no bigger task confronting him
than the selection of the right man
for the important post of secretary OF
state. The destiny of the nation for
some years to come may be bound up
in the kind Of man who may be Sc
lected to handle our foreign relations.
In the face of this situation there is
a pretty row in the ranks Of the Re-
publican party as to this appointment.
We earnestly pray that God may give
the incoming president wisdom from
on high to guide him in the choice
Of man who can steer US straight.
