We will now see what 1 prohibition looks Tike. We may have a reprieve if we are bibulously inclined, but we will have prohibition for a long time. THE RIGHTS OF THE MINORITY caused a loss of fifty per cent of the cotton acreage. . We live in a farming section -that is not dependents on one-crop. The lower.counties in this state have largely become tick'free and also abound in a large area of natural grazing. They are‘ paying attention to jjt.oek raising. Around Millen Ga., the* farmers have become im pressed with the value of the sweet potato-crop, and are preparing to scientifically cure and store therii for the j markets.

The South In Politic*. Wc are beginning to see some very familiar if ancient statement* in the paper* about the doing* of a Repub lican majority in congress. We are led to believe that the South is per scouted merely because it i* the South. The North waa once given to the waving of the bloody Airt but the South waa equally a* ready to cry persecution. Somewhere in norne of the more thoughtful of southern minds ia the conviction that political conditions in the South do not par mi t us to send our best leaders into political offices. Some thinkers have attributed this to the fact that we have only one party in the South, 4 and therefor* only one platform which ia the “solid South”. They argue that two parties would eliminate all but the best leaders, because a poor candi date would be too great a risk. We already have many men who do not hesitate to say that if they lived in the North they would vote another ticket. Be that as it may, yet the best results in the north are attained not by two, but by three parties. It is the independent vote which de rides leadership and legislation there. They stand . for neither party, but for the best platform and best leaders. In the days of Has- kellism and Tillmanism an independ ent party would have quickly sec ured the results that took fifteen years to arrive. Bleaseism and Anti- Bleaseism would have soon shrunk to proper proportions in the face of a moderately small independent vote. There is a growing conviction that the South is standing in her own light because partisanship and prop- agander have a larger acceptance with us than in the North. It is trio late to cry either Democratic or Re publican party.- Roosevelt showed in the Bull Moose movement that the party of Lincoln -was on the rocks Bryan showed that the Democratic party was more nearly Socialism than anything else. The present alignment may use one name or th<; other, but in geography it has be come the west against the eastf If our newspapers which are the keep ers of the politichL consciences of. the people would conduct an unbaissed campaign of education as to the real issue of our day, the South would rise to its position of political lead ership of the nation. . - PRESIDENT REFUSES TO ACT. The hopes of the people Who nave a thirst for the wetness with a kick to it are encouraged by a receiljt cable from the president stating that he cannot act to wartime prohibition There was a time when the minor ity had all of the rights, and it was a great day wherT IhcTTchights and barons of ^England wrung from Knig John the Magna Carta which secured larger rights fpr the major ity. From that day to this the world has been largely concerned with securing the rights of the indi vidual man. Robert Burns well states ^he creed —rrf modern dem ocracy when he says “A man is a - mwn-for all that”. The broadening I t )>«> weevil of-lhe right of voting has been one of the most marked events of the last century. Formerly in our republic the right of suffrage hedged about with so many qualifications until it was htailed to the few. The .opposite swing of the pendulum is seen in womans suffrage which has J just been passed by congress. One of the elements of democ- I racy.is that of majority rule, of that the wiser judgement is found in the ! majority. If wc grant that all men * are equal tK?/ majority rule is wisest,] but it. is often the case otherwise. When the South was trying to throw I off the negro vote it was often ad- I of the ignorant negro compltetly | cancelled the vote of the intelligent white business man. The case is not different when the vote of the ignorent partisan cancels the vote of one »ho is wisely free from 'par tisan bias and votes intelligently, legislation. Carelessness or parti- Afew examples of the majority rule may be found. The unrestrict ed vote of the slaves was forced on the conquered South which was tha minority. The rights of the minor ity were respected by the majorityi which winked at the breach of the constitutional amendment* it' had made. The prohibition amendment was a majority v«4e (Qjced on the minority, and the present outlook is that the majority will strictly enforce these, rifles. At present the Repub beans have a majority in congress and already they are preparing to protect the infant potash industry by making the farmers of the South pay $250 a ton for it. The Tanners who use potash are in the minority, but the majority-rule says they have no rights. Woman suffrage in the South is closely related to the fact that the negro as a yoter will* in crease, in numbers, and in the sec tions of the south where the negroes predominate the outlook is that negro women wHl exercise the right of suf- rage. The South was in the minor ity in congress on this question, but the majority’says it has no rights. Bolshevism in Russia is the major ity rule, while at present the thought ful people of that nation are in the minority ami therefore have n<> rights worthy of respect. -’What is dhe \remedy? Various panaceas are offered, but the real remedy will secure time ’for consid eration and reversal of unwise legis lation. The majority of today may so clinch its rule that the majority of tomorrow may'not easily annul them. The principle of the, referendum is along this liije, By this the. en actment of a legislature may be changed by the voters at a reason able later date. The principle of the recall would also L^erve to make legislators more careful as to their san policy might under the recall send them back to private life. In short qur legislation needs to find some place for the rights 'of the mi- making. Other sections have turned to hog raising, in view of the policy of the packing interests to locate their plants closer to their con- sumc*rs. Barriwell county has malny natural features^f'fine trucking in terests. Our soils are so varied that * • we can rgise almost anything. For many years asparagus, beans, canta loupes and cucumbers have been raised with great profit. Of course we will meet the crisis. We are as good farmers as those who have met elsewhere.. We should profit from their experience, and not be at. a Complete standstill and loss for two or three, years. The pres ent lark of preparedness indicates that Some folks will be hard hit in a Very few years. EXPERT PIANO TUNING • nd ORGAN REBUILDING Having decided to establish head quarter:, at Denmark, S.
