One Cause for Lawlessness.

One cause, and a very prolific one,
too, of the present state of lawless-
ness in this state, and other states
as well, is the unwarrented liberty
taken by politicians of certain
stripe. They harangue, lambaste, de-
nounce and ridicule the law, their
opponents and the established order.
of things without regard to truth
and without regard to the welfare of
the state. They sow the seeds of law
lessness everywhere they go. They
criticise the government mercilessly
and hand empty words from every
stump and platform. Little regards is.
had for the truth and as for courte-
sy, such a thing is not written in
their books. The abusive, foul
mouthed, uncouth damagogue is
great sower of the seeds of disrupt
ion. He offers no constructive
scheme, nothing that builds up moth
ing that helps. He is out for the Of
flee and the fatness thereof. He does
not spare anybody save individuals
that he is afraid to attack. He is out
to win. Mudslinging is his long suit.
Going about over the land he poi
sons the minds of the ignorant and
the uninformed and sows the seeds
of discord, hate and envy. The fruit
age is lawlessness, disregard fer the
established order and blind hate tnat,
when full grown brings death. Some
how we have come to endure such
orators; in fact, we often encourage
him in his onslaughts. We make up
our minds that such is politics, SO
why expect anything save just such
railing and abuse? The seeds are
sown and we nurture them, thinking
that we are doing the thing that is
wise. The seeds come up and pro-
duce fruit-murder, rapine, arson.

To Own Buildings Would Save
Money.

Washington, Aug. 27-Govern-
ment ownership of postoffice build
ings in every city and town in the
United States, where none now is
owned, has been proposed to con-
ress by Postmaster General Work
with the approval of President Hard
ing. :
The presidents approval, admins
tration officials said today, was bas-
ed upon reports showing that the
plan once put into effect, would
mean a saving to the government of
approximately S500,O00,O00 within
the next ten years.
Administration leaders in con-
gress, regarding the undertaking as
an important business reform, and
designed to check "profiteering in
RENTALS" were prepared, it was said,
to urge Immediately enactment of
Legislation providing for national
postal building program.
In a letter to the president out
lining the program, the postmaster
general explained that the depart
ment now pays in rentals annually
about S12,OOO,OOO and that when
many leases recently expired, own
ers of buildings demanded and OBJ
tanned substantial increases.
The postmaster general further
declared that with the adoption by
the government of the plan sugges-
ted, "profiteering in rentals" would
be checked, and shameless specula-
tion on the part of those who seek
to prey upon the government would
be abolished for all time."

Many farmers grow good crops
but exercise very poor judgment in
saving the crop grown. Large guam
titles of hay go to waste or remain
in the field until practically worth
less. The corn is not harvested es
soon as mature so that the livestock
may be turned into the field while
the grass and pea vines are green.
The annual loss on account Of fail
ng to pick cotton as fast as it opens
amounts to millions Of dollars.

To Control Flyers.

Secretary of War Weeks should
have strong support from the public
as well as from the president to
whom he has appealed, in his efforts
to hasten the federal control of av-
iation.
There is control now of the army
and navy aviators, by their respec-
tive departments, but there is no ju-
risdiction over civilian flyers and
there are no rules for their conduct.
Both are sought in bill pending in
congress for the creation of a bu-
reau of aeronauucs within the De-
partment of Commerce. The bureau
would establish rules for the air, H.
cense pilots and exercise supervis-
ion over all civilian flying. This mea-
sure is stuck in the legislation jam,
and there is little prospect of it's
early enactment unless the Presi-
dent or the public, or both together,
insist strongly on its passage.
The United States has been
strangely slow in taking such action.
Nearly all European countries of any
importance in aviation have already
established the necessary control

number of questions, which at first
Isthought at first ] would answer in.
detail but after considering sar1e l
feel that it will be imposition upon
you to ask so much space as it would
take to make this explanation.
AS to all of Mr.. Pardue's ques-
tions, if he will stop in Edgefield
and take little time l will go with
him to the treasurer's office and Mr..
Prince will take great pleasure with
me in giving him all the information
he desires in regard to the auto IL
cense tax, gasoline tax, and finan-
cial condition Of the county and any
other information that pertains to
the Official financing of the county
and disposition of the same.
I agree heartily with Mr.. Pardue
in some of his assertions as to our
state and highway engineer who is
supposed to look after the road from
Aiken line at DR.. Courtney's to the
Greenwood line, as I haven't had the
pleasure of seeing Mr.. King (the
man in charge) but twice since June
4, only had a short talk with him.
Certainly something should be done
by our legislature in regard to our
automobile license tax, as the super
visor has no power as to the eXpen-
diture of same after it is allotted to
a certain road.
AS to the other 12 counties Mr..
Pardue has been passing through,
with such well kept roads, I hope
that these counties where they have
been issuing bonds they are for road
improvement and not to pay past
debts as is the case with us. And that
they have more money to do with
than we have.
I will not tax your patience fur
ther, as l believe most OF the people
in Edgefield county believe that /
am doing the best I can with the lit
tie / have to do with. I have been
begging the people of Edgefield
county to cooperate with me in this
my great undertaking and am glad
to say they are doing SO in many
places. l am writing these few lines
with no intention Of getting into
newspaper wrangle.

How much does the moneyed man

The tonsorial artists say he spends

How much does the laboring man

Just why this is true none seemed

same opinion-that the working man
spends more for the care Of his hair
