The bill *n to go into effect reducing s&iments of liquor in tI the state from one gallon per Month to the. individual to one half gallon presents one inter enting point in what may bE termed legal ethics. When the voters of South Carolina went or record for Statewide prohibitior. 4he gallon a.month law was ir. existence. Now the question is, .4did they vote for prohibition with the understanding that this law S ould remain 6n the statute books or did they vote the pro b1tion ticketupon principle and th the implied desire ot re healng all existing laws which madegpossible the importation of intoxicating liquors? If the first. sIPPOsition be true then the past asies of the legislature misin ferpreted the wishes of the peo le or else took advantage of ? iithem in the passage of the two *art bill. 'However. if the see hd supposition be correct then he onilregret would seem to be tUat the bill vFas not made more ingent t and a importation " whatever prohibited, - In either ease, however, the bill would ap cpar in the nature o mprom : e.

This being so we regard the two. giart bill as .an effective aid to -the cause of prohibition. The articles which Mr. Eiliott has been contributing to The News and Herald for the past several months under fue caption "andom Recollections of Fair-1 field County," are both interest ing and instructive.' Presenting iany hitherto unpublished facts and incidents of Fairfield's past they should prove valuable to the ~istorian who shall at some day, we hope in the not distant future, compiHe the historical recordis of the county. The News and Her ald from time to time printed many inter-esting series of arti el. es of an historical nature and' Sthe formation of a Fairfield his-' torical so.aiety for the collection; and preservation of such manu script would seem to be not alone~ a matter for. county pride but a real duty which we owe to comn ing generations. Fairfield county has no reason to be ashamed of her past. Let us then take the. proper measures to preserve these records before they become hope lessly lost and ~'the "original sources" no longer accessible. So far the trustees of Mt. .Zior have taken no steps to install. water works for the conyenience of the pupils. -This should be done for, while the pump water is pure from a medicinal stand. point, yet it is of a kind that the children will not drink it and they are at all times entitled to 1 an abundance of good pure water. This is necessary for growing' children. Since leap year is supposed to t reverse the usual customs in af fairs of the heart we presume' that 1916 wlreod many in stances of men doing the court mg.

A Ford Touring Car and a String Band for Every Far mer by" Living and Buy ing at Home." (Sumter Watchman and South ron.) One hundred million dollars a year kept at home in South Caro lina means that every farmer in Sumter county could ride in his own Ford touring car with a string band to accompany him, and yet that is the estimated amouit of money sent out o' South Carolina annualy for food and feedstuffs that can be raised and grown on South Carolin farms. That doesn't include eithc hundreds of thousands of dollarc uselessly and foolishly sent away to mail order and so-called "bar gain* house" centers, that ought t6 he spent with home merchant4 and home manufacturers, horm I laboreys, and other home enter prises. . Spending home money witl home . enterprises, and buyin food and feed stuffs from hom( farmers would start an era oj prosperity in South Carolina tha1 would simply amaze the masses. This is a business propositior that warrants investigation anc expi very man anc n wfho t sly sends off 2 .(olgr that could' e spent a1 'home, either by bu -g dir - from*or through e: ter.

If all the money s~ent away, from Sumter. county'for goods and wor~k -aud. bSains that can be purchased at home, was spent-at home, Sumter oounty's better citizenship factories, her public schools wouldn't. be-trains ing citizens to go away to. build up other cities and towns. They could get work -.at home. We pay for community builders and other places use them. Hundreds of Sumter boys and Sumter girls are away from home because they couldn't find re munerative employment at home We spend hundreds of thous ands of dollars training hundreds of boys and girls in our Sumter city and ~Sumter county schools, and when we turn out the finish ed product in the shape of hun dreds of graduates why most of them have to leave home to get work. Human product without a home market. Every city in the United States can not be. and will ,not be a geat manufacturing center. We must get all the manufacturing enterprises we can, but we must develop our natural resources, make our soils produce many times more than they are produc ing of millions of dollars worth of saleable products, spend city money with the home farmer, and the home farmer and all con sumers should spend every dollar vith home merchants, then we vill have business enough to pro vide employment for thousands f home men and women, and or their boys and girls too. We von 't need the factories so badly then. Mfrs. Caldwell Dies in Texas News was received here last .eek of the death of Mrs. Maggie aldwell, wife ofiMr. J. W.

Yesterday Governor Manning announced his candidacy for re election as Governor and with it came the positive announcement of R. A. Cooper that he would also be a candidate. Governor Manning said: "I will stand for reelection, to continue the work I have begun. I am in the race to the end for clean government, law and order. I will let the Democrats of the State hear from me in detail later. Greenwood, March 8.-Robert A. Cooper of Laurens announced here tonight that he would be a candidate for governor in the Democratie primary this summer. Mr. Cooper's announcement was made after a conference with friends from many sections of the State, w6ho had come to Greenwood for the purpose of considering' his duty in the com ing campaign. Mr. Cooper has been here all the week, attend ing court as solicitor for this cir cuit and Greenwood is easily ac cesible, hence its selection as a meeting place for his friends. In making the announcement, iMr. Cooper stated that his plat form would be given in due time. Those close to Mr. Cooper say that he makes the announcement now so that his position will be known. He has been urged, be sought afid even pleaded with by men in all sections of the State for the past six months to offer as a candidate for governor this summer. Although missing the nomination for governor two years .ago by a very close mar gin, around 200 votes, it was not Mr. Cooper's intention to thrust himself into the political situA tion -in South Carolina this yer: He at first declined all suggest ions to this effect, but the re quests and the demand fbr hi to offer as a candidate. iave be come so frequent and so insis tent that he feels ita duty to yield to the judgen4ent of his friends in this mater. He has never sought puboffice on any thing other 's own merit and does no intend to deviate from this nciple now. &Social News.

Political Advertising Column. Mr. Stevenson. in his race for congress, advocates a rural credit system. In the South, three fourths of the people are farm ers. The great banking law put through by this administration made some provision but none for the man who has to buy piis land and needs long credit on it. Six months is the longest credit he can get under that law. There should have been a land credit system embraced in it whereby a man could get a long credit and low-rate of interest on real estate and enable him to buy, or radeem, a home. Why was it not passed with the balance of the bill? CANDIDATES CARDS Cards inserted under this head from now until the Democratic primary, for any offie to be voted for in this primary, for $5.00..
