A MATTER FOR THOUGHT
. 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

especially as the republicans have an
aptitude for adopting into their
family men who win.
Just now the democrats are buA j

is enough to sink the ship:
James M. Cox claims to be the j
leader of the party;
And now comes Woodrow Wilson

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.

JACK BRADLEY ON RECOVERING
FROM A LOVE AFFAIR.
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. I becamte. ac
customed to her face, and it no lonfe

er made me nervous to look ?pon
her. 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
