It is stated in one of the industrial | magazines of the country that the j textile interests of the North are, finding it less and less profitable toj CT&raie inejr maiiuintiuiiug juanw in that section of the country, and that in all probability there will be in the future more and more textile manufacturing plants located in the! South, with fewer of these plants in operation in the New England states, j There is a disposition it seems to move the cotton mills to the section 4-V?r\ /inf+nn io WilCIC tuc bVkbVll AO vuuvvm* I It is also stated that this idea has i gained so much headway that thej textile people have begun to looki around for suitable locations in the South for plants, and that they fav-j or the Piedmont section of North and i South Carolina, on account of ouri fine climate and the healthful at- { mosphere in which we live, as well; as the desirable people who seek em-, ployment in the cotton mills in this section. But it is added that, while the mill owners would like to locate their mills in South Carolina, they! are deterred from so doing on ac-j count of certain radical legislation! proposed in the legislature of this state, and that probably the mills,1 which might otherwise come here, will go to some others of the states of the South. It would be very inadvisable to adopt laws so unjust as to forbid the material development of the state. That radical and unjust legislation! has been oftentimes proposed in the: South Carolina legislature nobody will dispute, but we are not advised that we have had more of this species of proposed legislation than other' states. However that may be, it will! be of interest to every man living in J the state to see that legislators are r,?Nl??v?kin nnolifio/1 +A Y?OTVrP- ! ?>t?Il 1/ IKJ Wiumuia 4u?iat?v? ww , sent the whole people of the state, j and to represent them in such manner! as at all times will promote the best! interests of the state. But while we are doing this it should not be forgotten that the big corporations, and some small indi viduals, are always seeking special j legislation and special privileges, and that any legislation which does not give to them "breeches hold" on! every situation is considered radical by them. The legislature at the re cent session attempted to pass cer-| tain new revenue measures, some of which we thought wise and some of which we did not think so much of. These matters are to come before the legislature again, we imagine, and it may be that some of those who seek special favors in matters of legisla-| tion as well as in other matters are disposed to display the red flag for personal reasons only. If such be the case, their complaints should go un heeded. Every law passed should in the first instance be fair to all inter ests, and when it is thus fair, the legislature should net consider wheth er Col. Fillingham, or Major Bob, will hnilH a pntton mill in South Carolina. or not. We cannot always cut the patterns of legislation to suit the "bay windows" of a few people's wishes. The truth is that South Carolina has not always done the fair thing by corporations. These artificial per sons have for years paid more than their just proportion of the taxes. But we do not think we have been any worse in that respect than most of the other Southern states. Per haps we have been better than any of them. We think, perhaps, that all the proposed legislation for new sources of revenue, or something in stead a good deal worse, is already in operation in a good many other states and that we are only worse than the other states when the con versation is with us. I At any rate the legislature should not be deterred from passing laws, which are for the benefit and best in terests of the whole state simply be cause the New England cotton mill owners do not like them, and threat en to build their mills elsewhere. Let them go their way. One of these days we will build and operate our own mills. MISFORTUNES. The democrats have been hilarious for a week now because Albert J. Beveridge has defeated Senator New, of Indiana, for the republican nomi nation for senator in that state. Sen ator New was regarded as the admin istration candidate, and it is conclud ed from his defeat that the people lave taken a lick at the administra tion, all of which may or may not be .rue. But the democrats it seems to us nrm gam uiuic uj occmg tnai> i>uvii | jwn house in order than by rejoicing it the misfortunes of the republicans, especially as the republicans have an aptitude for adopting into their family men who win. Just now the democrats are buA j iened with two loads either of which j is enough to sink the ship: James M. Cox claims to be the j leader of the party; And now comes Woodrow Wilson ft*ho says that he is the leader.

ONLY 10 DAYS IN APRIL WERE FAIRj As a nice spring month April was a good water wagon. It succeeded in bringing along exactly 20 cloudy days and 4.97 inches of rain, accord ing to the monthly weather report given out today at the Greenville station of the weather bureau. Only ten days in April were fair?just one third of the total number. The larg est number of days fair in succession was four, the 10th, 11, 12th and 13th. As many as seven days were cloudy or partly cloudy in succession. Elev en days were partly cloudy, nine were totally cloudy. The precipitation for April, 4.97 was much in excess of the figure for April of last year, which was 2.85. It was much below the record for April of 1920, however, when it rain ed a depth of 7.18 inches during the month. The greatest precipitation within 24 hours was on the 5th and 6th when 2.56 inches fell. The average temperature for the month was 58, which is about the normal average for April. The high est temperature for the month was registered on the 14th when the mer cury went up to 85. The mercury reached its lowest point at 40 degrees on the 28th.?Greenville Piedmont. CANE SEED.

Of all the deadlv diseases probably the most deadly is Love. It is ex tremely contagious, susceptible in all seasons of the year, but especially spring and summer. It is most easy to catch, but very difficult to get rid of, and like other contagious mala dies, you can have it only one time. Every individual has had this terri ble plague. Some have cured them selves, others were not quite so suc cessful. There are some who never recover from a love affair. Woe be unto them! Their case doubtless was > s. most serious one. I, not being an exception, have suf fered with this almost inevitable dis ease. Thanks to an excellent diagno sis and most careful treatment I have recovered. I shall tell you how it was done. One way, and perhaps the surest way to cure ourselves, is to marry. But there are a number of objections to this method. The patient might be too young, as in my case, and then again its a funny thing about ^marri age anyway. It is such a pity that it takes two to form acompare; some times the 'other half' is contrary. So I went about it in this manner. My case being a most serious one, I took sometime to diagnose it. I iuunci upon exaiimiauuu nicti iu was of the species known as unrequieted, or in other words the love was all on my side. I think you are begin ning to see how realy serious it was. Another thing that was very an noying about my love affair was the fact that whenever I saw the reason for my sickness, the "inevitable she" of course, my heart would flop up and down like a churn-dasher, and I would swell with hope like a mad frog. Great sensations of unspeak able j<5y would caper over me like young goats on a tin roof, and pin ning me through like Spanish needles through a pair of old linen breeches. I noticed that the less I saw her the more my heart would throb and my pulse pulsate when I did see her. So my^idea was to fix affairs so T r?nnH see her more. It was arransr ed. I dare say how.

Therefore, when I gazed into her wonderful eyes, and beheld God's greatest masterpiece, I felt as if I could stand flatfooted and kick a hole through the grfeat Chinese Wall. Not so now. Her face to me is as flat as a root beer. Next I began to fool myself that I liked someone else. Doubtless "love" thought I was trying the jealousy . plan, but not me! I had myself fool ed more than her. The result was that my heart throbs, et cetera, were divided between the imitations and the real'thing. A house divided against itself can not stand. Mine fell and great was the fall thereof. I had recovered fyom a most disastrous love affair. Her eyes of which I spoke before no long er lull my thoughts.
