Minor issues aunear to have over shadowed the fact that Canzler ol Tirzah is running. Judging from, the amount of peaches which we have seen offered on the streets the crop must be {Abun dant.

' The liOrimer case has at last ended. , Now if the State campaign was only over we might find timetawrite a thrilling editorial on the value of cowpeas as a land builder.

Through the co operation of Hon. Wyatt Aiken they are having the assistance of the de partment of agriculture at Washing ton. It is to be hoped that the fight will prove successful. 8TILL ON THE JOB? Governor Blease owes it to Himself and to the many South Carolinians whose confidence he holds to at least suspend Chief Constable Stot hart of Charleston until a more thor ough investigation of the charges. Rnnnph has alreadv come out to j usufy the contention of Mayor Grace that Charleston tigers were paying for immunity. StQthart himself, when placed on the stand, refused to testify for fear of incriminating him self. Can this ti)#an anything except that, insofar chief constable is concerned, the charges preferred against him are true? Can the governor longer retain in office a man practically acknowied ing himself as a grafter without shar ing in the odium attaching to ap pointee? 'v . This charge against 8 tot hart was not first brought by Feider, but by Mayor Grace of Charleston, a citizen of South Carolina, and the testimony adduced to substantiate it was taken not in Georgia but in our own State. The knowledge has been brought squarely home to the governor. What is he going to*io about it? Pirate at Betbfa. There will be a picnic ait Bethia church on Wednesday, July 31, 1912. Tb$. public is invited to bring well filled baskets. AS TO LINING UP. The Democrat!? club at JVJcCor mi ok last week adopted resolutions against what- is cdmmonly termed "lining-up" candidates for county officers, in other yyords calling for a declaration from candidates as to whom they favor for governor. The 1 MoCormirk ehib acted wisely, and it 1 is to be hoped that more clubs in the j county will follow their example. The candidate has the same right ] to the secrecy tafijjr ballot that every 1 othertrrtizeti may claim and the only ^ --- Lt ?i i:?.t test IKQ or ougiic properly iw h^iicu to him ia the test of efficiency. To refuse to vote for a candidate for an office the duties of which are purelyhninfrterial simply and solely on the ground that he chooses to ex ercise his own suffrage in a way best ?uited to himself is to strike a blow at free speech and to place a premium upon tiute-servers and.coat-tail swing* era. Vvv ' * ' 6 * It is contended by some that if no other candidates ace made to declare themselves at least those offering for the legislature should state clearly their pbfftfen oh thl governor's race. With this position wt differ, for the reason we *tre opposed to sending to Columbia a delegation tagged to the i coat tails of an/man. Ail that can ' be demanded is that the candidate is [ in favor of a just and orderly admin istration of present laws and their supplementation by such farther sta- i tutes as will tend to the peace and prosperity of our great common- , wealth and the development of her as yet untouched resources. What is most needed is a delega tion capable of deciding what is best for Abbeville and Sooth Carolina and brave enough to stand, squarety for whin they cwaeefWte fee right.

' 1. I I THE WAREHOUSE ACT. The State of last Saturday carried a headline over the decision of thfc supreme court in thfc warehouse case (which is calculated'to create a; wrong impression and as several county pa pers have practically adopted the Reading, it ia well enough to set the ieooid straight.- The heading in question stated that the opinion oi ihe court held that the State could not engage in the warehouse busi ; qess, when a close reading reveals the fact that the act was held to be un constitutional solely by reason of the nwinou ey wnicn ine system was sought to be made effective. ; < \' The decision is faf-reaching in ef fect in that it establishes a new prin ciple and, so far as our knowledge goes, is the first pronouncement of |our higher courts on a subject that hs of vital concern'to the agricultural interests of the entire South. i The opinion of thecoutt, which was written by Chief Justice Gary and was concurred in by'every, jufc iice sitting in the cafe, while ho3diqjc the act unconstitutional by re&on of certain imperfections in the act itself, declares that the establishment and maintenance of a system of ware houses is clearly within the police power of the State. The chief grounds upon which the law was found to be unconstitutional were fltaf iha miKlIn ivu* without submitting the question to the qualified electors and fiteo that a portion of the amount to be; appro priated was to be available in 1^12 and part in 1913, which is contrary to ibe constitution. 1 In concluding its opinion the court reiterates the doctrine laid down pre viously in the opinion in these words: ? v/; i "Of course, the conclusion t&at tha. stat ute under consideration Is,^roid In its, en tirety doesnot'&fcah ttaEtfhlts goneral scope it I*'hot? police regulation. but that It eannotb#tlreu efleet fo itspresent form by reason ot lie failure jn ctjtiVlu respects to comply with ths requfrements, of the jwostttOMD. ~ "' .\;V? ~ The vital principle involved jn the act is not in violation of the consti tution, and the defects which; ren dered the law unconstitutional hav ing been pointed out. in the able opinion, the friends of the measure lean easily remedy thefn at the next session of the general assembly. ' It is gratifying to know that the establishment of the warehouse sys tem, while delayed ' ^bewhat by 'imperfections in the dr^lt of the measure, can be consummated at a#i early date, as it will, Jf properly es jtabtlshed by all of tjrt Souther^ States, afford oar iarjuers an.oppor SOUTH C, By GEORG Author of "At <*oc In the Washii South Carolina is a State of perpetual ir- h itation, situated between Georgia and y forth Carolina, and somewhere between I hp revolution and the civil war.

Such conduct.will not long be tolerated by the club, and the offending members are v4t|ted to cut out their pernicious aetivi It is expected that Doc Cook, who hua been engaged to coach the awkward squad in the art of discovering the truth (and keeping It to yourself) will fill his engage ment at.an early date. * * M*ny interesting addresses character ized the last meeting, among which was was able presentation of the value of spending your money at home. The club decided that the first member convicted | of having money should be compelled to ?pend.lt at home to the last farthing even if required the purchase of a pound of peanuts to accomplish this result. There being many vegetarians present the discussion turned upon the subject of warm weather dieting. The unanimous opiuion was that wiille most fruits and vegetables were good for man or beast (beasts includes all who carry buckeyes in their left hind pockets to keep off witches), grapes were tit for human consumption only when taken from a bottle. t * * The club is yet undecided who it will elect president, but rather leans towards Woodrow Wilson, believing that he will skin a bull moose, thereby creating an op- j portunlty for a profitable hide deal.

H ;v ? Considerable agitation was manifested on account of apparent activity on the part of the police, which called forth a stroug protest. It was unanimously de cided that as it was too hot to be closely mewed up in the body of the jail the mem bers would postpone their journey to that resort as long as possible. * * * In view of^the fact that the club does not receive the news of the country with sufll c'leut expedition, it was decided to remove the capital to Abbeville in order to get in the centre of the State. *> * * Th? club decided to abolish the law re quiring school trustees to take the aati dueling oath, because the opinion prevailed that any man brave enough to undertake the job of school trustee could account for himself on the Held of honor. .* A heated discussion arose over the valuo of watermelons as an antidote to acohol, but the general opinion was that nobody wanted to be cured, so the watermelon was given to the national prohibition party as an emblem.

G: Hjnwood Index. The Acts of the General Assembly for Volume is probably unique in that each act has a notation showing how it be came a law. There were three hundred and ' one acts and joint resolutions passed at the last session, and of this number only fifteen very approved by tM Governor. Mvea were pa6??d life veto, and two'hundred and seventy nine became law without the Governor's approval. Among the flfieen acts Approved by the Governor are the following: An act to au thorize and empower Columbia, Railway, Gas and Electrical Company to construct published, and this and maintain a dam across Congaree riv er and Columbia. Canal, an act to incorpor ate Lockhart Power Company; and act to incorporate Columbia aud Camden Hall way Company. Among the seven acts passed over the Governor's veto are acts providing for the appointment of rural,police by oflicers of the Counties rather than by the Governor, the act providing for the investigation of the Dispensary Commission, which the Governor asked the Legislature to pass, the act prohibiting foreigners from voting in the primary elections. Among the two hundred and seventy nine acts not approved by the Governor are many measures of great interest to the goneral public such as the act to regu late the award of scholarships in Clerason College so as to provide that at least one scholarship in each eounty shall go ex clusively to the boys from the rural com munities, the act to amend the law with reference to toilets on trains and to pro vide for better accommodations, the act to require railroads to receive coupons on trains, tlie act to {provide for the levy of taxes for county and achool purposes and muay others too numerous to mention. The law provides that the Governor shall approve all facts within three days after they are presented to him if the Leg islature is iu session. If he does not ap prove they ^become law without his ap proval. If the Legislature adjourns be-1 fore the three days expire then such act# 1 as are not'approxed by the Governor do I not become law unless the next Legisla-1 ture passed such acts over the Governor's j veto or unless the Governor fails to retirn , them within three days after the session i convenes. Such an unusual condition needs to be! emphasized. Remember, out of three' hundred aad one acts and joint i;e?olu-! tlons passed by Jthe legislature of 1913,1 only flfteun wore approved by the Gov-! ernor. Seven were passed over his veto! and two hundred and seventy-nine be- j came law without the Governor's approv- j al. Notice the acts approved by the Gov ernor. Acts in favor and for the benefit of corporations. Local* measures asked by the people of various counties Ignored, such measures either became laws with out his approval or wore passed over his { veto. The published acts show a complete his tory of the work of the legislature. Each act is annoiaiea, snowing now it uccauie a law. The record is open for any citizen. Quayle's Time l'or ICotiriny. (From the Kansas City Star. Dr. W. A. Quayle, Bi6liop of the Metho dist Church and a popular lecturer, in the early days of his ministry went back to preach one Sunday to a foreign congrega tion in Kansas, and was entertained by one of his old parishioners. After tho eve ning services the family gathered round the earth and exchanges reminisconsos wjth their guest, appaiantly without any thought of retiring. Bleven o'clock came and 12 o'clock. The conversation lagged and all showed unmistakable signs of weariness. Dr. Quayle 'yawned politely and rubbed his drooping eyelids. His host moved rest lessly in his chair. Ilis hostess eyed the timepiece with growing alarm. The very ' air whs drowsy, but no one seemed able to end the awkward situation. Finally as the clock chimed 1.30 o'clock ( his hostess asked deprecatingly, but with < a note of desperation in her voico: i "Brother Quayle, when do you go to bed?" 1 "When I got a chance," replied Dr. * Quayle meekly.
