BATTING THE
RAILROADS

Over in Carson the other day. at a
meeting of the State Board of Equa
! lization, a member of the Tax Com
mission went on record as favoring
a law that would exempt all trucks
from taxation and from the payment
of licenses" this as a retaliatory
measure against the alleged excess
sive freight charges of the railroads.
OF course this is all rank nom
sense, but it is of piece with much
of the ill-considered and half baked
theories of many who are looking
around for goat" upon whom to
place the blame for the present pro-
hibitiye freight rates.
To the Churchill county farmer
who is dependent upon the railroads
to transport his hay, cantaIopes, but
ter. eggs and other produce to a
market, and who is likewise de-
pendent upon the same system
to bring him his fuel, lumber
and other necessary commod-
tiles, the proposal to scrap
the railroads will make no special
| appeal. However. there is wide
spread dissatisfaction with present
conditions and the best informed
minds are in agreement that the
/ longed for return of elusive prosper
ity hinges largely on a satisfactory
settlement of the railroad problem.
Time was when railroad officials
were practically above and beyond
the law; when they travelled over the
country served by their lines much as
naughty fuedal lords in the middle
ages travelled, only with far more i'm
pressiye pageantry, but with equal
exclusiveness. Those were the hal
cyon days of railroading; when the
public be damned" and "all the traf-
fic will bear" policies alone governed
in making freight and passenger
rates. Coupled with these conditions
were the debauchery of State legis-
latures and public officials by whole
sale bribery that smelled to high
heaven. These conditions are all of
the past now. distinct evidence that

CIVIL WAR
AMONG MINERS

With five thousand coal miners OF
West Virginia under arms and fight
ing the constituted authorities, one
may well ask what this country is
coming to. They do not stand any
more show of getting anywhere than
a cottontail rabbit, for if the local and
state authorities cannot handle them
the whole United States army will be
thrown against them If necessary
We do not know what their griev-
ances are, but no matter what they
are, they have no right to take up
arms and proceed to make civil war,
in Virginia or in any other state in
this Union.
In the main they are foreigners,
and as soon as they get acclamated in
this country they join the United
Mine Workers and begin to raise
more kinds Of hell than a sane man
can figure out. The big coal opera
tors have no sympathy coming, as they
rob everybody going and coming, and
neither have the miners, who lived on
cabbage soup and black bread in the
old country and worked for fifty cents
a day, and as soon as they get here
they want to overthrow the govern
ment, nationalize the mines and grab
everything in sight la Lenine and
Trotsky. So it is dog eat dog. as far
as that part of it is concerned. But
a bad example is being set and
blaze started that may in time spread
all over America. Also many inno-
cent persons are getting killed, and,
incidentally. the public will have to
pay double price for its coal next
winter
The more we study into such prob
lens, the more We are inclined to join
the crowd whose slogan is Amer
lea for Americans"

TEACHING
PATRIOTISM

The most pressing requirement of
the present hour is not how We are to
solve our economic problems. but
where are we to find the sustaining
influences for the realities of life ?
How are we to justify the existing
form of government in our republic?
Where shall we resort for teachings
in patriotism? On what can we rely
for a continuation of the service OF
sacrifice which has made modern civ
ilization possible?
Unless Americans shall continue
to live in something more than the
present, to be moved by something
more than the material gains, they
will go down as other people have
gone down before some nation pos
sessed of a greater moral force. The
will to endure is not the creation of
moment. 1t is the result of long
training. Vice President Calvin
Coolidge.

the world is growing better. And now
it is gravely asserted that regulation
has gone too far and that the rail
roads are suffering from the same
blight of bureaucracy that affiicts
practically every form of human en-
deavor when it comes under govern
mental control and loses the stimula-
ton that comes from competition be-
tween individuals or groups in a free
field.
The remedy certainly does not lie
in placing further burden of taxation
ON the railroads or compelling them
TO pay exorbitant wages without COM
pensation in the form of increased
freight rates. The latter method of
recouping the losses occasioned by
increased overhead, has proven dis
astrous to business both for the ship
per and the companies. inasmuch as
1t has resulted in greatly reduced
movement of freight and consequent
stagnation in the movement of goods
of every form, thus adding to the
general depression. despite reports
of splendid crops from every section
and an earnest demand for an ex-
change of commodities only possible

An-Night 'Possum Hunters.

Monday night "No Mans Land"
somewhere down in the Horn't Creek
community, was invaded by a bunch
of Edgefeld 'possum hunters, some
of them real blooded sports. They
journeyed to the hunting ground soon
after nightfall and, losing their way
about midnight, wandered in the
woods till broad day, when they re-
turned to Edgefield weary and worn
But their midnight meanderings were
not in vain, for they brought with
them eight fat marsupials for a feast.
Among the hunters were Wesley
Stewart, E'unch Zimmerman, Chal-
mers Hughes, Willie Dunovant, Foy
Vause, Bud Bryant, John Mays and
a colored man. While all of them at
times slipped and Sided on the straw,
first up and then down, but Mr.. Vause
was the only one to completely lose
his Understanding" with the result
that he in the twinkle of an eye
found himself going over the bank of
the creek with a ~broadside splash in
the water, which was Of October tenn
perature. Being a game sport, he was
undismayed by this and help to "tail"
as many marsupials as any of the
crowd.

Mrs. M. A. Taylor's Lovely Tea
For Miss Miriam Norris.

Mrs. M. A. Taylor entertained four
teen guests at a charming tea party
on last Thursday afternoon in honor
of the. very popular bride-elect, Miss
Miriam Norris.
The spacious reception rooms and
hall flooded with mellow lights. were
adorned with yellow autumn flowers.
In the dining room, the yellow col
or scheme was beautifully carried
out. Yellow shaded lights softened the
pretty room, which was conferred with
a beautifully appointed tea table.
The brides place was distinguish
ed by an adorable little bride, the re-
naming place cards being of Loves
ally, Cupid.
Golden dahlias formed an artistic
center piece and the dainty gold
banded china added to the artistic
scheme.
Five delicious courses were served,
after which, the bride was showered
with rice, which was in cunning little
yellow bags at each place.
The hostess presented the honoree
with an Edgefeld cook book, filled
with recipes which have made Edge
field hostesses justly famous for de-
lectable food.
The affair was a climax to the Sc
ries of enjoyoble parties given for
Miss Norris, whose marriage to Mr..
Stephen Darlington was an event
around which clustered the loving in
terests of a wide circle of friends.
