GOOD GOVERNMENT

The total business of the Philip-
pines increased from 5000. 100000 in
1907 to 1868, OOO, 900 in 1920. That
would indicate that the islands are
doing fairly well under American
rule. What shape would the Filipinos
have been in had they padded their

would have had no canoe to paddle.

THE LAW THAT DEBS BROKE

If the president Of the United
States at holiday time decided u com
mute the sentence. Of Eugene Deb.
we make no complaint. Mr. Harding
has the power 70 do what he did and
so long as pardoning criminals is the
custom now, one should not denounc,
the sincerity of the president OF
question his honesty in the matter
Now that Debs is out, it is well t.
look into his case and draw conclu-
sions on the facts as they exist
1t is all right for Mr. Debs to be a
Socialist. Some very intelligent men
are Socialists. If a majority Of the
people of the United States should
decide to repeal the constitution and
let every man go his way, if they
went about repeating it in a lawful
manner, they would be in their legal
rights no matter how foolish their
conduct might appear TO be.
We believe in free speech We are
willing to tolerate a lot Of loose talk.
We are willing TO give a wild talker
the benefit of the doubt even if he
is denouncing the government

debt TO The good people of Pickcns
county which can only be paid by
serving them in Il public Office.
But the object Of this letter is to
congratulate Mr.. Foster for the re-
marks he made in his letter to the
public in regard to our schools and
education Of the country children. l
want to say right here that Mr.. Fos-
ter spoke a mouth full when he said
that the compulsory attendance law
should be extended TO take in child
ron sixteen years Of age, for we ali
Know that there are not many chill
drcn who can get sufficient education
by the time they are fourteen. And
! am sorry to ray it, but if it was
not for the compulsory school law
some children who now go to school
would never get to see the inside Of
a school house. Why do | say this?
just because know that before the
law WAS made there were Il lot Of
careless parents who would not send
,heir children TO school Il day just
because they had little work to do.
Cr because thcir children were not

In fact, it seems as if the people used
never to think about the real value
of education. They did net seem TO
realize the fact that the children OF
that day would soon have to take
their places il, business and conduct
the worlds affairs. They seemed to
think that if the children were kept
under control until they were grown
that was enough education. But Of
late years people have awakened 10
the fact that their children must have
Of some who do not seem to think or
care anything about the welfare Of
| the rising generation the compulsory
attendance law was passed, and
everybody with good, common sense
will support it, and no man who is
rot in favor Of it is fit to hold public
office So what say about the com
pulsory attendance law is keep it up
and enforce it, and if sixteen does not
sound good enough put it to eighteen

TABLE ROCK COVE

One of the most romatic and mic

IS right where Mr.. Wade Chastain
and Mr.. J. p. Carey Jr., are 10 begin
the erection Of large hotel in the
near future and expect to have it
completed and occupied by next sum

The cove lies just to The north of
Table Rock, and is accessible by a
road which leads from Pumpkintown
snu IS only SIX miles distant from this
pace. 1t is the end Of the road lead.
lEg west, and there IS one called the
sllcken road which leads north and
goes into North Carolina. 1t goes
right up the slicken creek, and no
grander scenery than is offered by
this route is in any of our mountains.
at the foot of the mountain a large
beautiful pool if formed by nature
and Mr.. Chastain has had the under
growth cleared away and bath houses
and seats built. Bathing suits are
Kept by Mr.. Abncr Gilstrap who has
charge Of the grounds and a dip into
TINS clear, pure water is worth q
doctors bill. Then the delightful
climb up to the falls, only onc and a
half miles, is worth a great deal more.
The sccnry is grand beyond descrip-
ticn. The ascent is made near .hc
banks OF the stream which goes leap
ing and piung:ng down the hill with
its clear water sparklin. like tlia-
monds.
The falls arc grand. and are a fit
ting climax to the climb.
Visitors to this place will find an
cid log cabin in which they may camp
near by the site Of the proposed no
tel. Gong up the Saluda river a
mile and half bv pathway one sees
the Big tree. 1t is a poplar seven
feet and four inches in diameter. To
the south, about half mile, looms
up grand old Table Rock At night
the lonely owls voice is heard all
around. The wildcats are very shy
but plentifuM Some other animals
arc in evidence, but are not very soci-
able IN their nature.
All together this is destined to be
one Of the grandest summer resorts
in our mountains and we insist on all
lovers Of nature to visit it,

These roads will make it's attractive
