MEXICO OIL RULING
TO SPEED ALL CASES
Decision in Texas Company
Plea Establishes Principle
for Prompt Adjudication.
BIZ The Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 26.-The Supreme
Courts decision in the Texas Company
Amparo case was officially handed down
this evening. 1t establishes definitely
the non retroactivity of article 81 of the
Constitution, so far as concerns prop
erty acquired for the purposes of oil
exploration or exploitation, prior 10
going into effect of the present Consti-
tuition.
In specific terms the court defines
article 27 as non-retroactive, asserting
that paragraph 4 of article q cannot
be regarded as retroactive either accord
ing to the letter or the spirit"
In part the text reads: 1T Is shown
that In conformity with rules universally
accepted for the Interpretation of laws
and with those of sound logic It must
be admitted that paragraph of article
~ (referring to oil) of our present Con-
stitution Is not retroactive and does not
affect pre-existing rights legally &C
Quired. This precept establishes the
naturalization OF petroleum and its by
products, as well as that of other sub
stances to which it refers, amplifying
the enumeration that existed in our for
mer laws"
Chief Justice Enrique Moreno. in CIV
ing out the decision, said to the corre-
spondent: "To-day's decision is as
specific and far reaching in matters re-
lating to oil as a judicial tribunal can
render, and should establish the prin-
ciple Of law upon which the other Am
paro cases pending should be adju-
dicated."
The other cases will be taken up next
month. the Judge added. The decision
was signed by all eleven Justices.

Sheriff Tom Plunkett, of Richmond
county, Georgia, is made of the stuff
that makes good officer. If Augusta
had had an officer with less courage
and a head less clear than Sheriff
Plunkett's there would have been an
other tragedy to mar South Carolina
and Georgia. AS it is, there is yet
no stain on the process of justice in
the case of the three Williams killing
and robbing the young taxi driver in
Lexington county. A friend of the
sheriff said that Plunkett was fully
determined to protect his prisonersin
Augusta the other night, and added
that he was in a frame of mind to
kill his best friend if necessary to pro-
tect the three men. BY the way,
Sheriff 'Plunkett is a South Carolin-
ian. He and this writer were raised
up '''in the woods" of Aiken county
together, and those who know Punk
EFT are not at all surprised that he
succeeded in keeping his men at a
safe distance from the mob.

Wife's Funeral.

Augusta, Ga., Aug. I'D. R. Pet

icle, has discovered another mean
est man in the world"
A middle aged man in a serge suit
of clothes and Wearing'a a derby hat
went up to one of the advertising
windows of the Chronicle and de-
clared he wished to "have a notice
put in the paper, saying:
II won't be responsible for any of
my wife's debts.''
Cali right SIR" the clerk said brisk
ly. ''That'll cost ST."
PAID" said the stranger. He pro-
ceeded to explain:
my wife and I have been separated
for long time and now she's fixing
to die and I'll not pay her funeral
expenses"
AS he went out of doors he
added:
Zone dollars a lot better than
$780,"

One of these days-you nor I may
ever see it-there will be no swamps
in Bamberg county. The fact that
under the greenish waters of swamps
and ponds lie the finest lands in the
world will dawn upon the people. In
these same swamps there turks some
thing else. 1t is the breeding place of
mosquitoes, and mosquitoes supply
the source of malaria, and malaria is
one of the deadliest enemies Of hu-
mankind. Therefore, there is double
reason why the country should be
drained. Economically speaking,
draining the county would not cost
the county cent, in our estimation,
for the redeemed land would many
times over pay the cost of the drain
age. The present depression will not
last forever. Our people, in normal
times, take a pardonable pride in
boasting that Bamberg county is the
richest agricultural county in the
state, and we believe it is true. If
we can boast of such prosperity with
half of the county's land under water,
what may we say when every acre is
under cultivation and bringing in fine
profits to the owners and tenants?
And, it is to be borne in mind that,
generally speaking, swamp lands are
far more productive than high lands.
We may also reasonab bly, expect higher
efficiency of workmen as a result Of
the elimination of malaria from every
nook and corner of the country, and
more efficiency means still more pros
perity.

The Calhoun Times says some
rather unkind things about James L..
Quinby, of Graniteville, and without
apparent good reason, other than Mr..
Quinby expressed some views con-
trary to the. views of the Times edi-
tor. The paper evidently wants to
know who and what is Mr.. Quinby.
This writer can answer that in part at
least. We can tell the Times that
he is not politician, that we do not
believe he has any axe to grind in
the expression of his views, and fur
ther that he is one of the finest citf-
zens of South Carolina. We do not
think, as Mr.. Quinby does, in many
things, but an acquaintance of sew
eral years with him convinced the
writer that a sincerer man does not
exist, and that his only object in
discussing world events is a genuine
desire to see conditions bettered. II
he is mistaken in his views, it is an
honest mistake. Our friend, the
Times, should accord to others the
same right to opinion that it holds
for itself.

whom were white, that Slappey had
been told by friend Myers had been
ridiculing him. The story was told
to him as joke. But now Myers is
dead. The men playing the prank
were doubtless seeking to have ''some
fun" but they have tragedy instead,
and they have even worse than TRACE
dy, for the news story concludes with
this laconic sentence: The dead
man leaves a widow and three small
children" Perhaps the slayer was
justified in shooting the deceased,
but the fact remains, according to the
news dispatch, that had not friends
of the men told one of them the other
was poking fun at him, it is not at all
likely the two would have ever met
in mortal combat. The indictment
for the killing of this man should
include those giving the false i'm
preston as we'll as the man who did
the shooting. But even trial and con-
viction of all parties concerned will
not alter the sentence: "The dead
man leaves a widow and three SINAI

RATS LINE NEST WITH MONEY.
Carpenters Find Wad of Bills While
Unroofing House in Anderson.

Anderson, Aug. 12.-With a bag
full Of money, ". D. Berry came to
local bank today to see if anything
could be done with it. While it was
real money it was in such dilapidat-
ed condition that only few of the
bills could be determined of what de-
nomination they were. Mr.. Perry said
he and his son had been engaged to
recover house on the Greenville
road for a family by the name of
Bradley. The boy was on top of the
house tearing the old boards away
when he heard an exclamation that
he had found some money. Tearing
the board away there was a whole
rats nest full of currency, some 81
bills, s5 bills and even $40 bills be-
ing recogniza BILE.
Mr.. Perry reported the matter to
the family but they could give no
explanation of how the rats got the
bills, or who from, as they had not
missed any money. He said that
the only way he could account for
it was that small store was run
near the house and that the owner
took the money to the house and
the rats had taken one bill at a time,
so it wasn't missed, and lined their
nest with it. One bill was dated
1907. Other dates were obscured by
the torn condition of the bills.
There was skeleton of a rat In
the pile of turn up bills. The torn
up money will be sent to the mint
and it may be redeemed. There
seemed to be between $50 and $40
by the amount of denominations that
could be deciphered.

FIGHT CRICKETS IN GRLhNWOOD
Gardeners Report Damage by Pests.
Entomologists Make Inspections.

Greenwood, Aug. 11.-Expert en-
tomologists from Clemson college are
studyingan outbreak of mole crickets
here. A. F. Conradi, head of the de-
partment of entomology at Clemson;
George NJ. Anderson, extension ento-
mologist; Ned Provost and w. A.
Thomas, United States department
Of agriculture entomologists, were
here Tuesday to make an examination
of the ravages of the pest. They de-
clared that the mole cricket found in
a Greenwood garden was the Ameri-
can instead of the Italian species
which is found in Charleston. This
is the first outbreak of the pest re-
ported north of Charleston.
One gardener reported the pest
so numerous in his garden that they
had literally cut everything off, level
with the ground. The insects, in
myriads, burrow just beneath the
surface of the earth, cutting off
everything in reach. Steps are be-
ing taken to poison the pests and it is
believed that they will be exteminat-
ed. They have only been reported
from one locality.

Sentiment and sympathy play some

Sentiment and sympathy play some
queer pranks in the court room
sometimes. The jury in the case Of
the base ball players who threw"
the world series last year, even after
they admitted the fact, were found
not guilty. Although Judge Lands
is not man we particularly admire,
we believe that he should be reward
ed by public approval in refusing to
let the men play ball again. We re-
spectfully submit that his decision
in this respect is of far more import
ance to the welfare of the country
than the decision of the trial jury.
This case reminds us of a murder
trial in Bamberg some years ago. We
believe it was Bamberg, though we
do not recall any Of the particulars.
except that the alleged slayer was
indicted for murder and carrying a
concealed weapon. He freely admit
ted the latter charge, but the jury
decided to go the whole distance and
found him not guilty of murder and
not guilty of carrying a concealed
weapon. as we'll.

These figures are taken from the
News and Courier: In June, 1914,
the total deposits in the state banks
of South Carolina aggregated S43,-
560,952.01. On June 80, Of this year,
the deposits in the state banks
of South Carolina totalled SS2,292,-
391.92. Whatever the tale these
figures tell, the fact remains that If
you will ask the average man you
meet in Bamberg, he will tell you
that 1914 was a real bonanza COM
pared with 1921. Somebody in South
Carolina has twice as much money
in the banks now as seven years ago.
We don't know who it is. None OF
our acquaintances will admit it.

Lincoln's Compromise.

A story of Lincoln's early political
life is told in John Wesley Hills new
book, abraham Lincoln, Man of
God" (Putnam.) 1t seems that in
1S46, during a canvass for congress,
Lincoln attended a preaching service
of Peter Cartwright's. Cartwright
called on all desiring to go to heaven
to stand up. All arose but Lincoln.
Then he asked all to rise who did not
want to go to hell. Lincoln remain
ed still seated 81 am surprised"
Said Cartwright, Ito see Abe Lin
coin sitting back there unmoved by
these appeals. If Mr.. Lincoln does
not want to 90 to heaven and does
not want to escape hell, perhaps he
will tell US where he does want to
go?" Lincoln slowly arose and re-
piled, Il am going to congress. -

1t appears that the government
could have found means of preventing
the loss of millions upon millions of
dollars by patriotic persons of limited
means who bought, when the country
was in distress, liberty bonds at par
and afterward had to dispose of them
at a loss of anywhere from ten to
forty per cent. The buying of liberty
bonds was put up to persons of ample
means and the poor alike, and the
consequence was that thousands of
men and women paid their money
for bonds who had no hope of being
able to keep them until maturity.
Millions of dollars have been raked
in at the expense of these small in
vestors, who, when they needed their
money, were compelled to sell for
almost any price that was offered
them. This selling of bonds by per-
sons unable to retain them has food
ed the market with liberty bonds,
brought the price down below par,
and puts the government in a bad
light. 1t appears that the government
could have without impairment of its
credit guaranteed it's bonds to be
worth par at any time before maturi-
ty by simply making them legal tend
er, under certain restrictions perhaps.
If they we're legal tender, bonds could
be used in the payment of debts at
100 cents on the dollar; the investor
would get his principal back, and the
whole country would be better off.

One day last week Deputy State
Engineer B. G. Mcbride. Charles
Stevenson and Charles Reinkin
climbed the slope of one of the Ruby
mountain peaks to examine a report
ed assure which can be seen from the
town OF Lamoille. II was late in the
evening before they reached and
found the assure and from their de-
scription this assure is the result Of
the earthquake just a few years ago
when eastern Nevada was shaken up
considerably. The assure is about
500 feet long and appears on the side
OF the mountain. 1t is from three to
eight feet wide and apparently has
no bottom. the sound from dropping
rocks dying away as they strike the
