The Federal Pie Counter.

That is an interesting sketch of Joe
w. Tolbert that we are reproducing to-
day from the Columbia State of yes
terday.
Among the knowing ones, the sug-
gested motive of the sketch will cause
a smile, because among other things
they will be led to wonder why this
absorbing interest in the "Old Star
Fort" which has been there under the
ownership of the Tolberts all these
years, did not develop until it had be-
come a conceded fact that Joe w. Toll
bert is the acknowledged referee OF
Federal patronage in South Carolina.
:, But be this as it may, this little
sketch of the successor Of the Colunl-
bin State in the distribution Of the
patronaae in South Carolina is both
Interesting and timely.
Good sports will have to concede that
in accordance with all the rules OF the
game Mr.. Tolbert has fairly won the
prestige and distinction that seems to
have come to him at last, for it has
been a long hard and discouraging
tstruggle that he and his brothers, to-
ecther with Maj. John T. Jones Of
Blacksburg and a few others nave
been having to keep their flags wav-
ing through forlofn hopes. Even when
their party was in power, in other days,
they had to endure the modification or
seeing certain OF their Democratic OPP
ponents enjoying the juciest slices OF
pie.
There was lots of Republican money
available for Republican politicians in
South Carolina during last year, pre-
lminary to the Chicago convention
Wood money, Lowden money, etc; but
Tolbert and Jones would have none OF
it. They were both Harding men from
principle, and they preferred to go to
Chicago with a delegation that was un-
bought and unplcdged.
There were two Republican electora
tickets in the field, regular ticket, in
CluQlTS dll tAiCiB 1~S"SN ~
bert and Jones, and independent
Republican ticket, made up of whites
and including two Il TO women, and
backed by L. w. C. Blalock and his
associates. The Tolbert-Jones ticket
polled 2,22G votes in the state and Bla-
lock ticket polled only 366 votes. The
Democratic vote was 63,490.
The size Of the vote did not amount
to much one way or the other; but so
far as can be gathered. ii seems to be
settled that Tolbert and Jones are 10
distribute the federal patronage IN
South Carolina-all Of it, and they say
they are going to fill the Offices with
the best men they can get. The un-
derstanding is that they will select Re-
publicans when they can get them
and otherwise they will use their best
Judgment. Already an impression has
gone out that Reformers will have
preference over Conservatives; but as
to that The Yorkville Enquirer has not
information upon which to base
definite statement.

selves to the ministrations of this doc
tor, and he has come 10 be talked of far
and wide. There is much division as
to whether he is not about as we'll quail
ified to practice as anybody else around
th parts and some Of his partisans
feel Just little outraged by this ver-
dict. For instance, they explain that
the reason he has no license to prac-
tice is because there was no chiroprac-
tor on the state board Of medical cX-
aminers, and also they argue that 1t
having been established by undisputed
testimony that no medicine was used,
they cannot see how or why he was
convicted of practicing medicine. There
has been quite war on chiropractors
over a good part of the country of late,
and these practitioners seem to be at a
considerable disadvantage. The, ad-
Of the laws are for the
most part in the hands of the medicine
men, ana that does not leave the other
fellows much showing. AS to whether
the Chester chiropractor will give up
or try to fight it out has not yet been
fully developed.

SHORT OF FUNDS

Just how it feels to be without the
necessary funds when in the presence
of ones girl was experienced by 4
young Iredell county, n. c. man yes
terday afternoon when two young
couples from that county came to
Yorkville to be married.
Charges for the young mans mar
riage license, his certificate OF mar
riagc and the fee for, performing the
ceremony came to $6.5O.
The young fellow arose, scraped his
pockets, stopped to the floor to PICK
up a dime that had fallen. opened his
pocketbook and then turned the lining
out OF his pocket. All he could mus
ter was n total Of S..
II just haven't got any more judge
he told the judge while his young
bride gggled.
"Ehat'sall right, sir" said the judge
MS he took the cash in hand.
Then Groom No. 2, learning the
price for the first time told the judge
that he wanted two pairs OF licenses"
as soon as he could see feller."
Calling TO the hall the transfer
driver who had brought both couples
from the North Carolina county he
made n rife whereby he borrowed
the sum necessary.
But it took his all to pay the
charges.
Neither OF the four parties to the
double marriage contract could sign
their names to the license but each
toilchcd the pen.
Married but broke and without even
the prospect of supper the two young
couples laughing and gay, started out
on the eighty mile automobile drive
back to Tredell county, shortly after
the ceremony.

An old dream Of the Salvation
Army to establish community for
the care. of waits from all over the
country is about to be realized, Com
mander Evange1ine, Booth has an
nounced through the gift Of a tract OF
land near Greenville, for that pur-
pose. In accepting the gift, Miss
Booth promises the plan will become
reality within ten years. The land
comprises 105 acres overlooking the
city and includes a 35 acre peach or
chard. It was the gift Of w. w. Bur-
CESS, a Greenville manufacturer, who
made it as a memorial to his young
son, who died recently. A colony for
children alone will be built upon the
tract, Commander Booth said. There
will be schools, a church, a hospital,
modern homes and other necessary
buildings. Orphans, hospital waits
and street children, from every city In
the country will be sent there to gain
education and better starts In life
mo more desirable site for the chill
drens village could be found" said
Commander Booth on making the an
nouncement. 1.-The gift was a volun-
tary one for an address the army
leader made in Greenville recently.
The land overlooks the Blue Ridge
mountains on an elevation that COM
mands a sweeping view of Greenville
and the surrounding territory"

Simon Bolivar, to whom President
Harding is to unvei Il statue in New
York on April 10, was one OF the
world's's greatest liberators. He was
born in Corracas, Venezuela IN 1'o''
and died in 1880. His whole life was
devoted TO war against autocracy, ana
n : the result of his efforts the different
South American provinces became IN
dependent republics. His path was not
strewn with roses. He was opposed 10
the bitter end by those who were estan-
lished in authority and precedence py
tradition and inheritance, and ot course
he met opposition at the hands OF lle
deceived masses. That is always the
way. No autocrat can ever mulntain
an autocratic position over the COM
nnn.lity without the confidence of the
cunlnorality, and when an autocral
presidence is threatened he seeks 10
maintain it by greater diligence III de-
ception. Bolivar was IL man or dcep
principles and high vision, anu o'
course was beyond the conception even
of the most patriotic Of his time. HIS
true worth did not win general r"c"e-
milton until after his death. NOW nc Is
,.onrrally conceded to have been one ol
the greatest men Of the century IN
which he lived.

If that verdict for $4,000 against the
state of South Carolina because OF the
death of a child from the effects OF i'm
pure typhoid serum stands, it does not
seem altogether logical and reasonable
that the matter should end there:
Somebody should be held responsible.
The state is supposed to have furnish
ed every possible facility for the pro-
duction of pure serum and if pure Sc
rum was not produced it must nave
been a question Of either ignorance OF
negligence. In either case the mdlV'o-
ual responsibility Sits down to those
in charge Of the production and distrl'
button of the serum. Surely the state
government is not going to be content
to leave conditions as they have oeen
indicated by this verdict.

Memorial Day this year, May 10,

comes on Tuesday.
The World War veterans are not 60
ing to forget the Confederate veterans.
Are not the Confederate veterans the
grandfathers and fathers Of the World
War veterans? And Of course 'each IS
proud of the other. Also there is no
apology for what the Confederate vet
Grams did, either by them or their sons
for the Confederate veterans, proved
themselves to be men just as have their
sons and grandsons. But it is an ac-
cepted fact that the shoulder touch be-
tween the grandsons Of the opposing
sides of the Civil war has healed Old
sores and forever established mu-
tual admiration and respect.
As the result of comments and rec
concentrations made by Auditor Wylie'
OF the comptroller generals office, IN
connection with the recent examination
of York county offices, there is going
to be IN important change in the GUS
tom that has heretofore prevailed IN
connection with the disbursement or
county funds. Heretofore since time
out of mind, the county board OF COM
missioners has been annually prepar"
ine for the legislative delegation csti-
mates of necessary expenditures lor
operation of the county government.
For instance, there is an estimate oil so
much for medical service, so much LOT
county home, so much for Jail, so much
for chaingang, so much for advertising
and stationery, so much for courthouse,
and so much for each of various other
purposes. All Of these items added TO-
eether made up the sum the general
assembly was asked to provide for
Ordinary county purposes In dra"-
ing up warrants on the county treasu-
rer. the county board Of commissioners.
has alwavs indicated what the warrant
was for, but it has not been instruct
ing to which of the various iunds II
should be charged. The treasurer
would continue to pay warrants from
the ordinary county fund so long as
he had anything with which to pay re-
cardless of the different specihed aF-
propriations in the supply Dill. Dut
now there is to be change. The law
makes it n1isdemeanor for the county
commissioners to>overdraw any OF the
several accounts, and it. is mlsoe-
n,aanor for the treasurer to pay war
rant on any given appropriation aiter
the funds specifically set aside unoef
that particular appropriation nave peeh
exhausted. This is going to mean more
ar less inconvenience to holders OF cer-
tain claims against the county For IN
stance, claims against an appropriation
that has been exhausted VIII nave to
he deferred until there can be further
appropriations and such miscellaneous
claims for which no appropriation mas
been specifically made will also nave
IN wait. Under the law as 1t now
stands the end of the year will find the
treasurer with uncXpendcd balances Oh
some of the appropriations; nut Will
ont authority to apply these uneNpehu-
ed balances to the payment OF claims
made against appropriations that nave
henn exhausted. There has been no
oversight or slip up anywhere. IL IS
r,ors,v q closer observance of wise
and proper law that has not heretofore
been observed as strictly as 1t shouio
have been.

Cotton growers can meet the pres
ent price situation by carefully con-
sidering" operating expenses and re-
ducing them whenever there is like
lihood OF obtaining q low yield per
acre, the department OF agriculture
said in a report Sunday on the results
of a survey OF basic requirements and
cost producing cotton. By applying
last years man and mule rates for
labor and pay then paid for seed and
fertilizer to the basic requirements IN
an investigation in Mitchell county,
Georgia. the average operating eS.
pense Of cotton production was fixed
ut approximately 33 cents a pound
there. Man and mule rates for labor
in this investigation and seed and
fertilizer costs, the department says,
constituted 81 per cent. Of the total
operating expense. exclusive. OF land
rent. Other expenses amounting to IL
per cent. of the total included such
items as ginning, manure, equipment,
taxes. insurance and overhead. Man
labor was charged at the rate OF 80
cents an hour, mule labor 80 cents an
hour, seed $S1 a.: ton and fertilizer at
SAG a ton. For the total cost OF S56.16
an acre, a seed credit Of $3.50 was de-
ductcd, making total net most OF
$5226 Asserting that the rates Tor
labor and seed did not start to decline
until after the 1920 crop had been pro-
duced the report added: with cotton
around IL and Is cents per pound the
returns not only allowed no interest
on capital, but failed to pay operating
expenses at going rates for labor and
prevailing prices for agriculture. with
cotton at Is cents per pound it would
require Il yield OF approximately
$50 pounds of lint to cover operating
expenses. The application Of the basic
Of production in estimat-
ing the costs should be of vital inter-
est to growers at this time" the re-
port adds. 1.-THE history Of the year
1920 will not be forgotten Immediate
ly and will be safe to say that the
lessons OF this. period will bear some
fruit"
