It is with narrow-souled peo
ple as with narrow-necked bot- ?
ties; the loss they have in them, t?
tho more noise they make in I
pouring it ont.-POPE.
"Long liva the lien law," says
the state senate.
"Pani Jones''! How many sins
or "grafts*' have been comm faed
iu thy name !
Saturday last was a red letter
day in the state se?ate-fifty bills
were killed.
''Liquor lawyers"-a newly dis
covered sobriquet for some mem
bers of the legal profession in
South Carolina.
In urging the repeal of the lien
law the farmers of South Carolina
af.ked for bread, aud the legisla
ture gave.them a stoue.
Arme'd and equipped with a
$15,000 appropriation. Attorney
General Lyon can \now moke the
grafters weep and wail.
Attorney General Lyon bas uot
only proven himself to bea very
capable official but every inch a
man.
How times change ! The once
despised prohibition platform
has now become very popular and
will be crowded with candidates
throughout the eh.te.
See the power of the editorial
peu ! After the Clarendon senator
editor pelted the senate, the graft
hunting appropriation passed
that budy by 27 to 6.
Hon. John Gary Evans has for
mally aunounced bis candidacy
for the United states senate,
which makes the sixth entry for
this race, with others likely to
follow.
Greenville is soon to have three
daily papers-one published in the
morning and two in the afternoon.
We fear somebody is going to eke
out a very meagre existence.
If winter continues several
weeks longer, the candid s'ss of
thia county will feast upon peach
cobbhrs and apple tarts, next sum
mer as well as upon blackberry
pies.
Hon. Cole Blease, state senator
from Newberry, will be a candi
date for governor, and Hon. Hub
Evans has announced that he
he will a candidate for the sen
ate from Newberry.
The best evidence that the mon
ey stringency no longer exists,
even on Wall Street, ie found in
the fact that bids, aggregating
$300,000,000 were received for the
recent bond issue of $50,000,000
.by New York city.
There is lawlessness in South
Carolina, too much of it, but we
do not believe armed bodies of
men could wantonly destroy prop-1
erty and take human lives as the
"Night Riders" are doing in Ken
tucky. Has that state no gov
ernor?
If there had been a commission
Bitting all through the thirteen
years as a court to investigate and
pass upon the dispensary claims
before they were paid, South
Carolina would have saved her
good name and hundreds of thou
sands, possibly millions, of dol
lars.
Paying $16 per case for liquor,
when the same brands were
bought in smaller quantities by
barkeepers over the country for
$12 per case, was a losing game
for the state but a money making
business for dispensary official
who, it is alleged, pocketed the
difference i;? price.
A futile attempt was made to
repeal ice income tax law, under
which persons having a net in
come in exceB8of $2,500 are liable
for taxation. Unfortunately for
the people, the county and the
stafce, there are but a corporal's
guard in Edgefield county who
are. liable for the income tax.
We are pleased to see that the
railroad commission has turned
its attention to the express compa
nies for a time. The comraissiou
has passed a rule requiri?.g express
companies to post a achedule of
their'i'ates and charges at all
offices for public inspection. It
also requ i ros that af ter March loth
every packfcgS'that is- transmitted
pasted thereou a slip
"giving the weight, amouu!;. qf
charges and the date ou which tb.9
The county dispensary boards
are engaged in the same business
as the old state dispensary board,
that of buying and Bellir;g liquor
for gain. Just walch the graft
creep in little by little. It is ae
sure to come os night follows tho
day.
Sometimes newspapers as well
as individuals are made to suffer,
for a tims at least, for having the
moral courage to stale the plain,
unvarnished truth concerning
public men and Iheir official acts.
It is said that the public, printing
of the city of Augusta has been
taken from the Augusta Chronicle
because it made bold to expose the
official leeds, or perchance nip
deeds, of the powers that be. All
honor to The Chronicle! "Truth
crushed to earth will rise ag?un.?'
\The Advertiser would like to
k?Qw juot what it has cost the far
mer\to have their wishes deniod
them m the failure of the l?gisla
ture tolr^peal the lien law. Fm ty
one senators aud one hundred and
twenty fourtnembers of the House
who are paid $4 per day consider
ed and reconsidered the repeal ?fc
the lien law at intervals for pos
sibly a fortnight. Be it said to
the credit of the Hguso, thcj r< -
peal bill passed that body but
was* h il led in the senate by.a ma
jority,'of two votes. The peop'o
have "paid the freight," borne'ihr
es pe use, but have received noth
ing in return.
One Instance of Consterfciting.
When the clearing house certif
icates were iesued last fall it wa?
frequently predicted that there
would be many counterfeits. Thus
far we have heard of only one in
stance of counterfeiting. D:ivid
Einsteiu, a merchant in Thomas
ville, Ga., recen Hy sent a certifi
cate that was issued by the clear
ing house association of Pelham
to a Chicago printing house and
had 1,000 five-dollar certificates
printed, paying$75 therefor. The
Chicago printers at ohca notified
the Pelham clearing house associ
ation. As a result Einstein WSP
arrested as soon as be atiempfed
to circulate the bogus cstificates.
He is now under indictment for
Ui-iug the mails for fraudaient
purposes and will also be indict
ed iu the state courts of Goorgia.
Will Have Opposition.
It looks now as if Governor An
sel will have considerable opposi
tion for a second term. Hon. Cole
L. BleaBe has aunounced that he
will be a candidate, on the present
local option platform with- a li
cense feature tacked on for the
counties that wish to adopt that
mode of selling liquor. Hon. Juc
G. Richards is being urged to be
come a candidate for governor on
a state wide prohibition platform.
Hon. C. C. Featherstone, of Lau
rens, RepresentativejNasb, of Spar
tanburg, and Senator Otts,!of Cher
okee, are also being urged to run
as prohibition candidates. Mr.
Otts and Mr. Richards were for
merly very zealous supporters of
the state dispensary.
A Welcomed Change
A few days ago while in conver
sation with Mr. J. A. Merritt, the
very courteous and capable agent
of the Southern, the writer learned I
that by conceited action on the
part of the citizens and business
men of the town the officials of
the express and telegraph compa
nies can be induced to remove
their office from the depot to some
place up town. The change would
be welcomed by the patrons of the
office for two reasons.?First, be
cause the removal of the office
nearer the business centre of the
twno would facilitate the transac
tion of all busiue68with the office,
and, second, because the change
would greatly relic /e the conges
tion that frequently exists about
the depo t, particularly on ? he ar
rival and departure of trainu.
Petitions to the Southern Ex
press and Western Union officials,
urging that the change be made,
will be prepared and forwarded at
once.
A New Farm Journal.
The Georgia-Carolina Agricul
turist is the name of a new farm
journal that is soon to bo estab
lished ?D Augusta, the first issue
appearing early in March. TbiF
new monthly will have at its back
a very 6trong aggregation of far
mers, as it will be published undpr
tho auspices of tbs Savannah Val
ley Associated Farmers. Mr. J. C.
McAuliffe, a practical farmer and
farm journalist of larga experience
will edit the Agriculturist, and
Mr. James J. Cbafee will be ai
sociate editor and business mana
ger. A strong board composed of
such' men as L. C. Hayn?, Dr. W.
E Mealing and Dr. J. E.Green,'
representing the organized far
mers of the Savannah Valley, will
direct iu a general way the affar?
of the new journal.
