The South Carolina railroad COM
mission fixed the rates to be charged
by the Augusta-Aiken electric rail-
way. The railway appealed to the
United States court and that tribunal
promptly set aside the order of the
commission and fixed other rates
higher, of course. The telephone
company in this state is appealing to
the United States court to restrain
the state government from lowering
its telephone rates, and few persons
have any doubt in the world what the
outcome will be. The act of the state
legislature will be set aside. Very
little protection is afforded the peo-
pie against corporations in the fed
eral courts, and it has come to pass
that state railroad commissions and
legislatures count for ncught. They
are useless adjuncts. Under the pres
ent system, they may as well be dis
pensed with. The state is not run
ming it's own affairs any more.

Thursday, June %, 1922.

Misses Marie Louise Cornell,
Blanche Porter and Pauline Hol-
man, accompanied by J. D. O'Hern
and Owen Riley motored to Bam-
berg Monday, thereby, whether con-
sciously or unconsciously, these
young gentlemen were handing out a
treat to the Bamberg young men
for the sight of our Barnwell girls is
always a treat to discriminating
young men everywhere.-Barnwell
Sentinel.
Nay, friend, not that your girls are
not all that could be desired, but
than Bamberg girls there are none
finer, and were it not for our gener-
osity in extending our influence to
the ends of the earth our discrimin-
ating young men would confine them
selves entirely to the home product.

RAINS ARE OVER.
Dutch Weather Prophet Says Rain
fall Will Be Normal.

The representations of the Dutch
weather prophet offer some encour-
agement to cotton farmers who are
living in the hope that the country
will escape the much dreaded wet
spells which have been occurring the
latter part of July for the past three
years. If we have repetition of the
wet spells this year the cotton crop
is gone, but if July and the first
part of August are dry Bamberg coun-
ty will make a fairly good cotton
crop. That is a foregone conclusion.
The Dutch weather prophet, who
seldom misses his forecast of the
seasons, says the heavy rains are
over and there will be only a nor
NAL rainfall during the summer.
His predictions are encourag ging.
Here is the way he puts it,,
The period of excessive rainfall is
drawing to a close-diminishing both
in frequency and quantity. 1t has
been unprecedented-the oldest in
habitants having seen nothing like
it. The Dutch Weather Prophet re-
members weather conditions from
the time of "Sherman's freshet" in
February, 1865-he is not an old
inha bitant either-and no year since
that time has produced such long
and continuous period of rainfall.
This forecaster is of the opinion
that weather conditions of 100 years
ago have been reproduced to a great
extent during the past five months

REPUBLICAN PIE FOR FAMILY.
Distributor of Patronage in State
Taking Care of Close Relatives.

Washington, June 8.-.If the Re-
publican boss of South Carolina
should give to his. brother, R. r. Toll
bert. the last worthwhile available
federal office in South Carolina, name
ly, the collectorship> of the port OF
Charleston, the state would be COM
pletely Tolbertized.
What Joseph w. Tolbert will DO
for his brother, if anything, is not
known. 1t was reported some weeks
ago, however, that he was destined to
fill some desirable job. In the mean
while, R. R. Tolbert is probably not
fretting that an exception might be
made of him, for three of his sons
have landed on the payroll of the gov
ernment.
Joseph w. Tolbert, the boss, has
been nominated for the marshalsnlp
of the Western district of South Caro-
lima. His wife is postmaster Of Ninety,
Six. The three boys OF Il. II. lolperI
are serving as assistant district at
torney of the Western district, clerk
IN the prohibition enforcement office
and postmaster at Abbevilie, respec-
lively.
This does not complete the list.
Mrs. Kirksey, postmaster at Pickens.
was a Tolbert before marriage. The
postmaster at Clinton is said to have
been married into the Tolbert family
and, according to reports, young
woman member of the Tolbert family
is slated for a position in the office
of the internal revenue collector at
Columbia. 1t is said that still another
member of the family is serving on
the force of the prohibition enforce
ment office.

Naturally there are two sides to
! this question of granting pardons to
convicted persons. The governors S
position is one in which he is en-
titled to sympathy. But the governor
leaves his personal sympathies at
[home-or should-when he becomes
governor. In acting onpardon petit
tions the governor represents not
his own personal views, but the in
terests Of the people Of South Caro-
lima, whose servant he is. The mat
ter of getting up a petition is COM
paratiyely easy. We have never
known a petition of any sort to. be
circulated that was not signed by
more or less persons. In fact, the
contents of a petition have not a
great deal to do with securing sigma
lures. If a friend asks another good
friend to help him out by signing a
petition to hang another friend by
the neck there will be some to sign it.
Five of the jurors convicting one of
the men executed last Friday signed
a petition that the governor COM
mute the sentence, without, so far
as we can see, any reason whatever
for doing so. Such petitions are,
generally speaking, likely to cause
serious consideration from, an execu-
tive, and it all goes back to the wis
dom of putting such enormous power
as>life or death in the hands of any
one man. The writer has always
contended that the pardon power, as
conferred on the governor in this
state, is too much power to. grant any
man. When women and children be-
siege governor to grant mercy to a
condemned man it is hard to turn
deaf ear; man would have heart
of stone if he did not listen to such
appeals and to be moved with COM
passion by them. The state has a
pardon board; let the boards rec
concentrations be carried out. This
gives ample protection to the inter-
ests of the convicted men.

Would Introduce
Cotton Substitute

In 1898 DR.. o. D. Faust, now dead
some years, wrote to j. G. Pratt, OF
Chicago, ILL.,, in regard to the grow
ing of ''ramie," plant whose bark
is said to make an excellent substl-
tute for cotton, wool, or linen. un-
der date of October 5, 1898, DR..
Faust received letter from Mr..
Pratt in which he stated that he was
developing machinery for the manu-
facture of the product, that his eX-
periments had been entirely satls-
factory, and that there was no doubt
whatever of the success of the new
fiber. Mr.. Pratt was very much in
terested to learn if DR.. Faust had
produced any of the fiber.
For some reason, however, DN
Faust did not pursue the matter any
further. Perhaps the reason was
that cotton was so easy to produce
that there did not seem to be any
necessity 1Or SUBSTITUTE.
O. D. Faust, Jr., the other day IN
looking over some papers of his faith
er came across the letters and was
50 much interested in the possiblll-
ties of growing ramie that he is tax
ing the subject up with Congressman
Bvrnes with a view to investigating
the possibilities of introducing the
plant in this section. That the et-
fort of Mr.. Pratt, or some one else
interested in the matter, met with
more or less success seems to be prov
en- by another letter found of DR..
Faust's. This letter was from New
York manufacturer, and samples OF
ramie cloth were enclosed. The
samples have every appearance OF be-
ing excellent goods; indeed the man
ufacturers claim for them a superb
ority over either cotton, linen or
wool. This letter stated that varie-
ty of cloth was being made from the
fiber. including underclothing and
hosiery.
Cotton was king in those days,
however, and so far as DR.. Faust
was concerned nohing further was
ACCOMPLISHED toward growing the
new fiber. About two years ago
Young Mr.. Faust, finding the inroad
of the bool weevil wreaking havoc
with the cotton production, address,
ed a letter to Mr.. Pratt with a view
to introducing the industry here at
that time. It was found that Mr..
Pratt had been dead several years.
The letter was opened and answered
by a gentleman who was doing busi-
ness at Mr.. Pratt's old place of busl-
ness. He gave the address of his
widow, but could give no information
regarding Mr.. Pratt's development
Of fiber manufacture.
It is possible that in unearthlng
this matter, Mr.. Faust may be instru-
mental in the opening of new and
profitable industry here, for it is said
that the climatic conditions here are
very favorable for the growing of
this product. Inasmuch as the boil
weevil bids fair to prevent normal
production of cotton, Mr.. Faust is
seeking the efforts of Congressman
Byrnes to ascertain if it is possible
or profitable to look further into this
matter.
