Ho ia evidently giving the act serious consideration us lt lias been held u|t for more than a month ?Ince thu leg islature adjourned, and whatever ac tion he finally takes will be dictated by a sincere desire to do what ls best for the people 61 the atute. Wc have no doubt of that. Thu prohibitionists themselves are divided on the wisdom of approving this act, und it ls lo be doubled wheth er lt will prove us pood an Instrument of temperance as tho gullon-a-mont!: law passed al the lill."? session. Th: reduction o? tho amount each person can order a month lo two.qunrts is ?.1! right, hut a fatal defeat of the act may be found In the liberal allowance for beer-a barre! a month or a t|-i.irt a day. Whiskey coull be shipped lu te- the slate under the guise of beer, and nobody would be the wiser un less the officers made the discovery. Here iles the great danger ol' the act. and the danger ls- not altogether re moved by the requirement that the beer bo labeled as such. A large majorilj of the people of Soulh Carolina,If the vole of last September is to he taken as an Ind ;x or feeling, hus decreed thal prohibi tion of the liquor traille Is the best policy for the state to pursue. We think the people voted right, uud for that reason we want no stumhlin ; block placed in tho path of the tem por?neo c. nise iii South Carolina. If Governor Manning vetoes the new act, ho will get no censure from UH. Wo arc inclined to think that he wi*.' be doing thc proper (?lng . rUIJVAItY HKl'OltM lu tho press ot tho "state the ques tion of abolishing the biennial coiinly to- county camp*., tn has been rather freely discussed, and opinion seems to bo sharply divided on this issue. Tho abuse ot the Soulh Carolina primary system arises perhaps iron ! Its freedom from restrictions-a free dom that ls absolutely democratic und permits any man to enter the Huts and como beforo tho people will a I discussion of lils views. Our prl I mary system is uniquo In thal il has pructlcully no (restrictions on cu tranco requirements. South Carolina was ono of the pioneer states in in augurating primary reform, und the system, In spite of Its numerous abuses, has worked generally in the interest of the people. In most oth er states a prospective candidate can not get his nuuiu before tho voter? unless be first gets an endorsement from a small percentage of the elec torate petitioning that his numo bc carried on the ballot. Thero is merit in ihi.'. providion, and in our state annie reform of tho kind might servv* to purga tho eloctlons of some of their objectionable features. Uut watever may bo the ben course to p.irsuo in order to save the primarj' system mid make it a means of educating the public on vital issues of the day, it would bc unwise this year to make any change. In the event that" the county-to-county can vass ip' abolished at the May conven tion of toe party, tho motives and purposes of thoso whoso leadership brought. about Uio chungo would be mlscontrued and the matter would in stantly become au acute issue of the campaign. There would follow the inevitable ?charge, given color if not substance, that tho prevailing side or faction did not caro to have a full and free discussion of issues and, therefore, desired to muddy tho wa ters. Tho May convention will do wisely to stand pat on t'.'.c rules for tho pres ent, and in another two years per .haps, if the political atmosphere clears and the vision of the people is not dimmed by the pleas and ac cusations ot designing men, a change may be accomplished that will make the primary a surer moans of elect ing candidates of true and tried abili ty and character than lt has proven at times in recent years. Hasty action now may work a great deal of harm to tho stato. The only safe rulo by w?Jch popular gov ernment may always bu secured is lo require candidates seeking ohlco to come Into the, closest possible con tact with tho voters, and this can be done in no better way than by a pri mary system with a minimum or.?re strictions on em;ance requirements. If the primary system ls being uHus Od, and K\is,-thora should be a sen sible remedy to o ur o lt of ita evita. But when Abo doctor I? call od i n, we had better make BUro first that ho I* competent, to reach a correct diagdo eU-'vf the patlent's complaint. ? rios Scientific ?.?g raising throug i the medium oi iKjy.s' dubs is adding much io the supply of food products in Hilo country, and tho department of agrl culluro in doing a splendid work in fostering mid encouraging ventures :>f tills kind. Last year, over in Georgia, three boys Joined one of these ham-and-lw con clubs. Each boy bought a blood ed pig, and, discarding thc method ot hog raising practiced by their neigh bors, adopted the pians of t'.e depart ment experts. AH a result tl.ey s" cured gains in weight ut Just halt Iii? cost obtained by their neighbors ?rito bad years of experience to '.heir cr- - tilt. This low cost in weight gains was secured by making cooked K?ch en watte a large item in the pig's bill of fare and by planting a Hpet'bil patch in cow peas and corn Into which l :e animals were turned in Un fall. These ambitious (J cor g ia boys car ried their scheme through, even to slaughtering and marketing. They disposed of the pigs hy way of imin ufacluied lard, sausage, souse ?md fresh cuts of meat. Tiieir avenige profiti< were twenty-seven dollars on each pig. an amount that ls not often secured un an acre of cotton at much greater ?abor and expense of produc ing. The war ha.s greatly increased ll:* demand for food products of all kind.',, and even at normal timen thc supply lu this country appears to be falling gradually below the demand. There is a tine field for boys and young men and for the older men as well-to tuite up seriously the raising of blooded hogs and thus obtain a more profit able breed for tho market than ls of fered In the scrubs that havVi too largely supplied tho markets hereto fore. W .ile the animait-, may not multi ply as rapidly as they did in lite "pis* ls pigs" story, no ambitious l>oy on tho farm need fear trying tito exper iment. Ile will l>c doing a good thing for himself and for his community to help organize a pig club and then go to It with might and main for re sults. THU NEXT PRESIDENT The current Issue of Collier's, al ways an ardent organ of the Roose veltian type, tries to make out a case for the mun from Oyster Hay by ar guing* that bo is thc logical nominee ot tho Republican party for president this year. Tho exigencies of party politics, under tho touch of a muster hand, can bring about some wonder ful transformation. A storm cloud can bu turned wrong side out so as Lo show a gorgeous silver lining, und the meunest flower that grows can be clothed In the lovely tints of the rainbow. Rr elt the logical candidate? Vor [tun and forgiven perhaps ls his betrayal of bis party at Chicago In 191% and party loyalty has always been tro ahibboloih of the G. O. P. At least, the party of Lincoln nnd Grant and McKinley will have to con veniently forget and forgive before it can honor a man who disrupted Its* ranks to gratify his selfish ambitloa. And that, in our opinion, it is Just 'what they will do/ The cohesive pow er of party spoils-tho hunger for the loaves and fishes of patronage-will solidify the discordant elements as nothing clso can do. T.'idleal and progressive, bosses and the bossed, rich man and poor man and beggar man-all will lay aside their differ ences in tho desire to got back into power, and strong shoulders will be sent against tho wheels while hungry mouths will -water as eiger eyes catch tho vision of savory plums ahead. ^ Roosevelt, man of inconsistencies, will bo tho Republican nominee. And the savory plums will turn out to be nothing more substantial than Dead Sea fruit. And-the next president of the United States will bail from Vow Jcrsoy, Ex>Clertryni?n In P'cturcs. Church and stage have long strug gled over Vc? question of "right nnd wrong In thearlcals." There are thou sands of clergymen who would rfht 1 arken tho door of a place of theatri cal amusement; with them there oro hundreds of ministers who attend theatres1 frequently and hold a broad er view of stage life.
