Issues of the Coming Cam paign. Enforcement of the laws, particu larly the prohibition laws, is essential to the security of the people of South Craolina and they must elect a gov ernor and sheriffs this year who will show no mercy to bootleggers and moonshiners. To do otherwise would be to give up prohibition. To elect a governor suspected of a friendly dis position toward lawbreakers would be to surrender to lawbreakers. Numer ous crimes have been committed in the last two years and the juries are punishing them. If the people do not have a governor who can be relied upon to allow the sentences of juries and <:ourts to stand, no home in South Carolina will be safe. The women are the home-makers and the nome-keep ers. The people must have reduction of taxes. Further retrenchment in the cosi of government is necssary. Use less offices must be eliminated and salaries cut to the point consistent to obtaining efficient service. No great reduction can be had in the state levy merely by whittling down salaries. All possible economies of this kind would perhaps not lower the levy by one mill. The people do not wish thc common schools, the colleges or the charitable institutions destroyed or cr'ppled, nor will they deprive Con federate veterans of pensions. To meet the cost of these things the heavy revenues are required. But the burden of taxation on lands and houses, though reduced from 12 to seven mills, is still too great for the times. The sole avenue of escape is to tax other things than farms and houses. The World War and its causes re main as issue in South Carolina. Had the Democrats in 1876 elected an enemy of the Southern cause govern or, instead of Wade Hampton, Con federate soldiers would not be rever ed as heroes now. If our people had voted that South Carolina wos misled into secession by demagogues and traitors, the state would never have voted for Confederate pensions. To the 25,000 and 30,000 young veter ans of the World War the cause for which they fought is and should be as holy as was the cause of their .. grandfathers in 1861. It is for them to protect it from rebuke and dishon or and they will. Without the national Democratic party the white civilization of the South would be in perpetual danger. To high offices in the state the people * can not afford to elect others than those whose party loyalty, national and state, is not in question or under suspicion. Able and patriotic Demo crats who have never been accused of flirting with the Republicans are abundant. There will be no trouble to find strong men who go to the polls in November and vote for the Demo cratic candidate from president to coroner, who know that to do other wise is to invite peril to every insti tution of white civilization. Never, for instance, was a Republican pres ident or candidate who would not, if he could abolish the separate coach law. Staunch Democrats in this state vote and speak for the Democratic candidates, whether personally at tracted to them or not, because they know these things, because they know that unless the Democratic party shall be sustained in the nation, all that they hold dear in the South will col lapse. Those are plain issues of the cam paign soon to begin in this state. To sensible men they are not arguable. -The State. Mother Skipton's Prophecy. These lines were first pudlished in England in 1445, before the discov ery of America, and before any of the discoveries and inventions men tioned therein. All the events predic dicted have come to pass except that mentioned in the two last lines: "Carriages without horse sshall go And accidents fill the world with woe; Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye, Waters shall yet more wonders do, Now stranger, yet shall be true; The world upside down shall be .And gold be found at root of tree. Through hills man shall ride And no horse nor ass be at his side; Under water man shall walk, Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. In the air men shall be seen In white, in black, in green; Iron in the water shall float As easily as a wooden boat. Gold shall be found mid stone In a land that's now unknown; Fire and water shall wonders do, England shall at last admit a Jew. And the world to an end shall come In eighteen hundred and eighty one."

Have your bees ready when the honey flow begins: do not raise your bees on the honey flow, but raise them for the honey flow, is the advice of the Extension bee specialist to the in creasing number of farmers who are keeping bees. As soon as the weather is warm enough, the bees.should be examined to determine, first if they have plen ty of stores; second, whether they have a good laying queen; third, whether they have sufficient room. If a queenless colony with a fail ing queen that does not lay a suffi cient number of eggs, is found, then this colony should be united with an other colony having a good queen. Two colonies may be united as fol lows: Place the hive containing the weak queenless colony over the hive con taining a colony with a queen, put ting a single sheet of newspaper be tween the two. Of course this requir es the removal of the bottom board of one hive and the cover of the oth er, so that nothing separates the frames of the two hives except a sheet of newspaper. If the weak colony has brood, it is best to shake the bees off the brood frames into their own hive and put the brood frames into the hive con taining the queen before uniting, as otherwise this brood may become chilled. It is not necessary to leave the weak hive above the other, and in case of cold weather, it should be re moved as soon as the bees accept each other, which would be approxi mately in twenty-four to forty-eight hours. The main causes leading to swarm ing are lack of ventilation, lack of space for the queen bee to lay eggs, insufficient room for storing honey, an over-abundance of drones, or a queen bee that has become too old. To prevent swarming, therefore, these conditions must be avoided. The queen alone is normally capable of laying eggs, and for this reason swarming is necessary to make new colonies and perpetuate the race. The old queen always comes out with the first swarm. Additional rooms can be furnished by adding another super. An old queen can be replaced by requeen ing. Drones can be kept down by re placing drone combs with worker combs. Lack of room and. ventilation are indicated by bees clustering on the outside. Ventilation may be in creased by putting thin cleats or strips of wood at each corner of the hive between the brood chamber and the bottom board. To the Club Meetings. Democrats, women and men, at tend the meetings of your ward and precinct clubs. The people of South Carolina can not afford to take chances. The choice of a governor, of mem bers of the General Assembly, of sheriffs, of all officers, depends in great measure on the choice of dele gates to the county conventions. Do you want prohibition enforced? "Yes," is your answer. Then you want the Democratic par ty to be controlled by men and wo men who BELIEVE IN THE EN FORCEMENT of law. Whatever the concealment, what ever the pretensions, whatever the noisy outcries to the contrary, the EFFORT WILL BE MADE IN THE COMING SUMMER TO DELIVER THE STATE OF SOUTH CARO LINA INTO THE HANDS OF MEN WHO DO NOT FEEL UNKINDLY TOWARD BOOTLEGGERS, WHO ARE TENDER TOWARD CONVIC TED CRIMINALS, WHO DOUBT THAT THE VERDICT OF A JURY AND THE SENTENCE OUGHT IN MOST CASES TO BE FINAL. There can be no security for life and property in South Carolina un less good men and women take an active interest in public affairs. To the club meetings on time! The State. NOTICE.
