Pay While You Ride.

In this issue Mr.. Yonce Of the
Yonce Motor Company sets forth in
detail just what a Ford car, truck or
tractor will cost, either for cash or
on the monthly payment plan. He
makes it possible for persons of linn
tied means to buy a Ford partly on
credit and pay for the car while they
ride. By his easy payment plan Mr..
Yonce places Ford cars within reach
of scores of persons who otherwise
could not own a car. He has adopted
as his slogan, one altogether appro-
pirate, "Buy Ford and bank the
difference"

Ian Temperance Union were sung,
and Mrs. J. w. Peak conducted the
devotions.
Miss Wheale made very practical
and thought provoking talk to the
women, sounding warning note to
mothers in regard to the conditions
in many parts of the country. She
said that a QUESTIONABLE had been
sent to Columbia University students
recently asking their views on jazz
music, on cigarette smoking and 9TH
er things of like nature, and that the
opinion of the young people was di-
yided about half and half, showing
the tendency towards lowering OF
ideals.
In the evening Miss Wheale spoke
in the Baptist church, Rev. A. T. AL,
len conducting the devotions, and
giving very pronounced views on the
question of prohlbltlon, ana MS IN
terest in the cause. Rev. G. w. M
Taylor of the Methodist church in
troduced Miss Wheale, telling some
of her qualifications for the work.
Miss Wheale was deaconess, though
very young, in the Methodist church
for z years, and took the two year
course in religion at Yale University
and several courses at Columbia Uni
versity. She made an excellent ad,
dress.
Tuesday morning Miss Wheale ad-
dressed the High School, going from
Edgefeld to Aiken.

Easter Egg Hunt.

The large garden and lawn of Mrs.
Kate Butler was transformed into a
veritable Fairyland Monday after
noon, the occasion being the annual
Easter egg hunt arranged by the
Guild of the Episcopal church. Near
ly one hundred children gathered
early in the afternoon, after impa-
tiently waiting for the hour to arrive.
Having attended previous egg hunts
given by the Guild, they knew what
pleasure was in store for them. More
than 800 eggs had been hidden about
the lawn and among this vast num-
Der was golden egg, the finder of
which would receive prize. Not only
did the youngsters vie with each 9TH
er as to which should find the great
est number of eggs but each one was
doubly eager to locate the golden
egg. After much searching, William
Byrd, Jr., found the golden egg and
received the prize, a beautiful box of
candy. While the climax was now
reached in the search for the eggs,
yet there was much fun in store for
the rollicksome boys and girls as they
engaged in various games and out
door sports. The occasion will be
source of pleasant memories to all
who were present. The gate receipts
and the proceeds of the sale of ice
cream amounted to $3.50, $500
of which will be donated to the Ar
menian sufferers.

Rawl Granted Bail.

Chief Justice Gary yesterday
granted bail to L. X. Rawl, white
man charged with robbing stores at
Trenton and being connected with
robberies in Fairfield county. The
chief justice fixed at $4,000 as the
amount after habeas corpus before
him in the afternoon.
In fixing bail for Rawl, who was
brought to the court room under
heavy guard, Chief Justice Gary
made it plain that crime in South
Carolina must be stopped, and that
one way to stop it was to keep crimi-
mails in Jail. He told attorneys for
Rawl that if the man before him was
not a South Carolinian he would have
fixed the bond at $4,000. Chief JUS
tice Gary said the laws are too sacred
to be trampled upon and at this time
outsiders are invading the state to
break it's laws.
In case Rawl is able to take ad-
vantage of the bail it was indicated
yesterday that several additional war;
rants are awaiting him, including one
federal State.
If Rawl furnishes bond in the sum
of $4,000 and is released he will be
at once arrested under other charges
and remanded to prison. Sheriff
Swearingen had forwarded just few
days ago three additional warrants
for Rawl to Solicitor Callison. 1t will
not be an easy matter for him to fur
nish heavy bond in all of the cases
on record against him. If it were pos
sible under the law to hold him, he
should not be granted bail at all.
Such a villain and desperate charac-
ter as he is alleged to be deserves
permanent place behind prison bars.

SOMEBODY FAILED. '

The disaster which befell the theater crowd in
Washington is different from Others which have pre-
coded it mainly in its The weight of a heavy
fall OF wet snow is fully appreciated in regions
accustomed to such phenomena, but if the menace
it carried was, realized by the theater owners or
managers it was disregarded. Roofs with supports
ample for any ordinary strain may be not be able
to bear the load of two feet more of snow, Shov
cling the snow from roofs is often practced How
ever no such precaution taken and more than
a hundred persons who never suspected the danger
that hung over them dead and a great number
are injured
It is probable that the lesson of this calamity
will he needed to ward off similar accidents in the
future but that will not recall to life those who
persisted or heal those who are hurt 1t took loss
of life in theater fires to arouse the public to de-
mand better protection for that cause. 1t seems
that the huban kind learn only from catastrophe

should die to others to greater safety,
but that is the only method apparently by which
we may be aroused At best somebody failed in

EVENTUALLY, WHY NOT NOW"

The legislature of 1915 passed the Finance Board
bill and made it effective as law. 1t became the
duty of the governor to put 1t into operation
Governor Mechem excuses his failure TO make
the law function by pointing to the fact that Gov
ernor Lindsay and Governor Larrazolo also ignored
It, So the law laid down by the legislature to con-
troll the handling of 100000 of the peoples
money is regarded a trivial matter to be lightly
set aside.
If the governor after taking an oath to enforce
the laws Of the state can, at his whm, ignore this
law, how may he reasonably expect the people to
obey the laws?
Appointing commissioners to investigate or to
whitewash can not cover up the fact that the gov
ernor blithey failed to do his duty in conformity
with his Obligation.
This neglect of duty with its dire consequences,
came to public notice in December. We are well
into February and, so far can learn, the APP
pointing Of a smelling committee is as far as the
governor has gone.
Even at this late date the public would be GLAD
to see Governor Mechem put this law into vigorous
effect. 1t may save further disasters.

THE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

Nothing should be more apparent than that
there is something wrong under the tax assessment
machinery Of the state. The system is wrong in
MANY particulars. The state Tax Commission i'm
presses the Journal as being faithful to the public
in its purposes. Whether or not it is sufficiently
vigorous in its methods is open to question.
But our county method is bad. good and
capable citizen is elected assessor He takes office
with the best intentions in the world. He purposes
bringing all property the tax roll at its reas-
enable value At once ne bumps into the resent
ment Of powerful influences which refuse to toll
crate his intentions. He secs his friends desert
ing him and his reelection becoming an impossi-
bility Human nature is too weak for the test to
which it is subjected and he falls victim to the
System" There is to blame the assessor.
The appointment of assessors should be made
by the State Tax Commission. 1t should be civil
service Job where competency is the test for APP
pointment and good behavior the basis for holding
the place.
The Special Revenue Commission was supported
by the Journal last in its effort to have such
a bill passed by the legislature. The politicians
killed it.
Public sentiment should force the passage of
such an act at the next session of the legislature

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A DUAL ALLIANCE?
From the New York Times

(From the New York Times)
President Lewis proposal that the railway work.
crs unite with the mine workers contains a men
ace such has before raised its head in
this country. The revolutionary radicals Foster
and Fitzpatrick have organized industrial" unions,
notably in the steel and packing industries, with
the aVowed intention of eXaCting what terms they
chose from the nation; but the nation can exist,
at least temporarily, without steel and without
fresh meat Without either coal CT transporta-
ton its life would be brought to a sudden stand
still
It is true that neither the United Mine Workers
nor the railroad brotherhoods are dangerously in
fected with radicalsm. When a similar alliance
was proposed in 1919, nothing came of it. The
Big Four" brotherhoods blocked the way Today
there is new factor in the situation. If the
ton is to make an economic recovery, some revl-
sion of wages is necessary in both mines and rail
ways Our report from Cleveland indicates that
neither President Stone of the locomotive engi-
neers nor President Lee of the trainmen has been
invited to the proposed conference. Apparently
the idea is to proceed without the conservative
big Four" But the minor brotherhoods appar-
emily will send representatives
In England the Triple Alliance Of railway mine
and general transportation workers is well organ
lied and the leaders who stand nearest to the rank
and file bitterly radical yet their recent at
tempt to force the NATURALIZATION of the mines
ended in dreary failure. In America the middle
class public lacks the solidarity of the English
middle class, but even its opinion. when vgor-
ousy expressed has failed to turn the scales
against strike. In the case Of the "outlaw" rail-
way strike of two years ago it showed sufficient
degree of efficiency to keep traffic moving. Mr.
Lewis is himself of the more conservative type of
leader, being even now active in opposition to the
radical Howat in Kansas.
He seems to be engaged in a game Of bluff. So
Mr.. Gompers has long waved the bOgy of IAN al
lance between the 100000 farmers and the
4 1000 900 members of the American Federation Of
Labor" but in the recent agriculture conference
when he opposed the farmers resolution calling
for decrease of railway wages, he was Cour-
teousy but firmly given to his native element, the
air In one respect, however, Mr. Lewis threat is
substantial 1t is a possibility, and it only re-
quires that those who make it shall be convinced
radicals TO become portent.
