For the Sake of Votes.

The lower house of congress after
solemn deliberation recently passed
an "antillynching" bill. The vote
conceded roughly with the partisan
division of northern Republicans and
southern Democrats.
Theoretically, the object OF the Dill
was to reduce lynchings, which have
had for their most numerous victims
the negroes in the south. Actually,
the object of the bill was to cater
favor with negro voters, who are
numerous in some or the northern
voting centers.
Theoretically, the opposition to the
bill was inspired by the altruistic be-
lief that fearful interference with
state officials for shortcomings in
Furnishing lynchers, is an unwarrant-
ed and dangerous extension of federal
paternalistic rule. Actually, the op-
position felt that the southern voters
would resent any vote which might
be construed as catering to negroes.
Negro voters may look forward
with confidence to the appearance
shortly of some franked copies of the
Congressional Record in which the
sufferings of their race are elequently
denounced. So, too, ardent uphold
ers of the Old South may enhearten
themselves with the thought that
printed patriotism, of their own par
ticular brand, will soon be delivered
free.
AS for the bill, if it becomes, law,
there are few southerners who fear
that it will have any more effect than
did the constitutional amendment
giving the negro the vote. Neither
do the northerners.
But viewed simply as an arrange
ment of words, the measure is ertire-
ly commendable. So, too, would be
constitutional amendment prohibit
ing murder.-Dearborn Independent.

MATHEW ALLEN MOYE,

Born August 1st, 1s45. Died Feb
ruary End, 1922.
An absence from home, and a press
Of matters, both business and domes-
tic, have combined to make tardy the
tribute l have been wanting to pay
to the beloved uncle whose mortal
remains were laid to rest few weeks
since in Restland cemetery, that si-
lent city of the dead, in such close
proximity to the busy marts Of trade,
where he was once engaged in busi-
ness, and on the streets where he was
for years a familiar and interesting
figure. :.
He was the youngest child, and on
ly son (who reached mans estate),
of George Ward and Rebecca Spears
Moye, and was born near Buford g
Bridge, then a thriving village of
Barnwell county.
Deprived of his mother at tender
age, he became the care and idol OF q
fond father and seven devoted sisters.
Though not robust physically, he
left this home of ease and love and
culture and answered his country's
call to arms when a boy of eighteen,
enlisting in Co. F, 3rd S. c. Regiment,
and serving Loyalty until the star Of
the Confederacy set at Appomatox in
1865.
In manner he was affable, cour-
teous, and kindly. In nature he was
loyal, truthful, and peace loving. II
I were asked his predominant charac-
teristics, I would say loyalty and
charity. Loyalty to God and the
church, his country, family and
friends. Charity that rejoiced not in
inquity, but rejoiced in the truth;
charity that suffereth long and
is kind, charity that speaks kindly
of his erring fellow-man and incites
him to better living. This is the
charity that actuated his long life and
made him a power for good in his
community. :
He was thrice married; first to Sal
lie Brabham, daughter of Josiah and
Susanna Mcmillan Brabham, of Bu-
ford's Bridge, who preceded him to
the grave thirty-fve years.
His second wife was Emma Rice
Buist, widow of James F. Buist,
beloved minister of the Baptist
church, who labored in this commun-
ity for many years.
His last wife, who survives him,
was Chivelette O'Neal Stokes. In the
coming November-but with many
nisgivings Of both being spared to
see the day-this couple were to have
celebrated their silver wedding.
God has ordered otherwise, but
perhaps one faithful hand full of its
everlasting reward will be stretched
down from the skies to clasp the
feeble one that remains on earth,
feeble, but faithful still.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Reverend Mr.. White, pastor
of the deceased, assisted by Rever-
end S. o. Cantey, Of the Bamberg
Methodist church.
Joining the Baptist church in his
youth, the deceased ever remained a
useful and consistent member
throughout his long life.
He is survived by three sons, J. c..
and F. NJ. Moye, of Bamberg, and n.
A. Moye, of Charleston, and one sis
ter, Mrs. ]. T. O'Neal, of this place,
now in the eightieth year Of her age.
We lay aside this gem Of the old
en- time with sadness, fearing it will
be long ere we look upon his like
again. NETTIE OGILVIE SPEAKS.

By vote of 79 to 9 the house Of
representatives last Wednesday night
passed the tax extension resolution
over the veto of Governor Cooper,
following the action of the senate
previously in overriding the COVER
nor's veto. The resolution thereby
becomes a part of the law of the
state and the time for the payment of
state and county taxes, under the
provisions >of the act, has been ex-
tended until June /, with no execu-
tions to be served until September l.
just how the legislators expect the
people to be any more able to pay
their taxes in April and May than
now is rather difficult to deduct, how
ever it seemed to be the almost
unanimous opinion Of the members
of both houses that this action was
wanted by the taxpayers. The legis-
lators cannot be blamed, we sup
pose, for giving the people what they
want, as they are the servants Of the
people. Although, the legislators
were not so scrupulous about the
wants of the people in some other
respects, notably the killing of some
of the useless commissions and boards
which the dear people support with
their delinquent and hard-to-pay
taxes. The provisions of the tax ex-
tension act provide: Penalties are
imposed on delinquent tax payers as
follows: For taxes paid during
March, per cent; for taxes paid
during April, per cent; for taxes
paid during the month of May, 6 per
cent, and for taxes paid during and
after June, per cent. Executions
for unpaid taxes will be drawn up
June 1, but under the provisions of
the resolution will not be placed in

The sweet potato besides being one
of the most valuable products of this
section of the country, is decidedly
one of the most appetizing products.
A bulletin just issued by Winthrop
college details % ways to prepare
the sweet potato for the table, in
Guiding puddings, pies, fritters, can
died potatoes, etc. The bulletin says:
t'The southern sweet potato should
always be distinguished from the
northern, in that the southern is rich
er in sugar, softer and more moist
when cooked" In regard to the
food value of the southern sweet po-
tato, the bulletin says: 1.-THE south
ern sweet potato should stand at the
top of the line. 1t contains 55S calo-
ries per pound against 37S in the
white potatoes, about 26 per cent.
starch and sugar, and an appreci-
able amount of phosphorus and iron,
two most important ash constituents
in the diet" This is all mostly
known by most folks who eat sweet
potatoes, and that includes very near
everybody in the south, although
some folks eating this delectable
product may not know really how
beneficial a food it is. 1t is further
interesting, because, if the worst
comes to the worst, our folks can
live on potatoes very largely; and
we do not have to send off to get
them. The News and Courier, in
discussing the Winthrop bulletin,
says there is another method not de-
tailed in the bulletin of preparing po-
tatoes; the editor says he does not
know exactly how to describe it, but
he attempts to do so as follows:
"If we knew anything about how to
cook we would tell what it is, but we
don't. We only know that we have
never eaten anything better than
sweet potato pie made after this fash
ion we have in mind, and it was not
made in the manner prescribed IN
the Winthrop recipes, for the sweet
potatoes were sliced, not mashed,
there were spices of some sort and
we have a suspicion that the pie was
probably spiked as well as sp1ceo.
It was just about the finest dish a
man ever tasted"

LIFE IN SOVIET RUSSIA.
Peasants Faring Far Better Than
the Industrialists.

The Russian peasants have fared
best under Soviet rule, despite the
fact that the government laid stress
on the betterment of the condition of
he city workmen and communists,
who are mostly city and town work
ers, according to an Associated Press
correspondent writing from Moscow.
Except in the famine areas where
over 100000 are necessitous peas
ants, the farming population has kept
the pot boiling and managed to eat
much more regularly than the city
men. The great majority of the
metropolitan population has returned
to the land.
The bolshevik prevention of free
interior trade has starved the cities
whose people had to 90 to the coun-
try for food carrying with them their
personal belonging which they trad
ed for potatoes and -four. AS a con-
sequence the thrifty farmers have
become wealthy.
AS wealth goes in the village they
have boarded rubles, househould ar
ticles and wearing apparel which the
city folks have brought in in ex-
change for bread.
The peasant women also have TAX
en- on the fashions of their city sis
ters, struggling in vain to make
themselves grand danes. With three
COWS, a littel of pigs, flock of chic
kens and a potato patch, the peasant
woman had the most desired COM
modities in Russia and she exchang-
ed -four, vegetables and meat for the
trappings of city life. Humble cab
ms are filled with gaudy tapestries,
gilt furnishings, pianos, musical in
struments, Dresden china, hideous
marble and bronze ornaments, silver
dishes, opera coats, and shoes.
The rugged peasant girls with
broad shoulders, muscular arms and
large feet, which is the result of years
of ploughing and hoeing and wood
chopping, present a strange appear
ance in their tiny aigretted hats,
short skirts and slippers which the
village shoemakers have fashioned
after the Partisan models for feet on
ly accustomed to the boulevards.
Investigation seems to show that
the peasants are generally pleased
with the governments new system
of taxation whereby the farmers must
surrender a fixed percentage of their
crops in taxes, for they are finding it
far more preferable to the old re-
quisition system. They are not re-
sisting it to any considerable extent
and seem confident that only fixed
amount will be taken.
The present system of free trade
reminds them of old times and they
are generally showing satisfaction.
The government seems to be gradual
ly winning them over in half-heart-
ed way.
Meantime the government finds its
pet protegees-the city workmen-
are faring worse and worse and they
seem much disgruntled. Free trade
is of no assistance as the people are
lacking money to buy. In addition
the government is unloading the re-
sponsibility for the feeding of the
workmen.
The outcome of the complete mo-
nopolization of trade is probably
wholly different than the party lead
ership intended andtheparty are now
finding it difficult to explain their
good intentions to the industrialists
whose families lack food and cloth

DUMMY EDITOR FOR JAPS.
His Job To Go To Jail When Paper
Offends.

The dummy editor" is one Of the
hardest things around japanese
newspaper office, relates Toxic dis
patch. His job is simple enough. 1t is
merely to 90 to Jail whenever neces-
sary.
On dull days the dummy editor
has nothing at all to do except sit
around the shop and twiddle his
thumbs. But when business is brisk
and the cops come in and pinch the
place for having printed forbidden
material, he puts on his frock coat
and climbs into the hoodlum-wagon
and spends a week or so in the GALA
boose earning his salary.
Meanwhile the real editor runs
the sheet in the same old way at the
same old stand.
That's one of the ways of main
tanning the freedom of the press.
Another is to print anything you
choose and trust to Budda and the
police. The latter is growing in fav-
or. and a good number of newspa-
pers are breaking away from the
once-universal dummy editor" plan.
japanese newspapers are subject
at all times to orders from the gov
ernment forbidding the mention or
discussion of specified subjects. For
instance, there has been ban for
some time against mention of or
speculation regarding the health of
the Emperor. Any edition contain
ing an offending article may be sup
pressed. Police come to the Office,
seize all the copies Of that issue they
can find, scurry about town confis-
eating the copies at news stands and
in the possession of newsboys and
all copies in the post office. Usually
they let it go at that, only the one
offending issue is suppressed and the
paper is allowed to continue in bust
ness the next day. 3.
One angle of the Japanese libel law
is to the effect that whenever cltl-
zen challenges the truth of a news
paper story concerning him and COM
plains that it has damaged his busi-
ness or character, the newspaper
must print in the next issue denial
of length and position equalling the
original. This is supposed to vindi-
cate the irate citizen and remove
cause for libel suit.
Here's the joker. The law provides
that while the correction must be or
equal length" to the article COM
planned of, >if it is any longer the
newspaper can collect full advertls-
ing rates for the excess wordage. :
