SOIII?- ol our contemporaries seem
to be worried because Governor Man
ning has not signed tho new whiskey
act passed by the legislature
We have had no intimation of t'au
governor's position in this matter.
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

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.

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. ?

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
