Good judgement will not confound the' in/' nocent with, the gpilty. __ Whether their choice a. has been the wisest or not the negroes, have elected to reject the leadership from both races, and to follow exclusive ly the wisdom of their own leaders. This lays upon negro leadership the challenge to the very best judge ment that is in them.- Of course they can not be held responsible for every foolish thing done by hare brained member* of their race, but they are responsible for failure' to restrain acts of follly so far as pos sible. Race sympathy is natural, but it'would be the highest folly for them to tie around their 'necks as millstones the unwise members 'of their race. An uncompromising stand against unwise members of -their race would do more to justify their present race leadership than any thing else. The negroes former friends in the North have proven his worst ene mies. .Jt will take a hundred years to weed out tbe dangers planted by reconstruction in the South. Out of that blunder came many of the injustices under'which the . negro labors.. Wherever a negro suffers an injustice the wrong should. be righted. ‘-The good judgement of the white race should see this most clearly. The good judgement of ' both races should realize that the war nd it* experiences have placed us all4n abnormal titles. We willslow- ly return to better things.

In another column will be found the admirable address made by Governor R. A. Cooper to those of ficials who were charged with law obaervance. It is a splendid ad dress and worthy of the man who made it. We are confronted .with an in creased violation of the laws, with an increased jail population, and with a natural reaction from sump tuary legislation. It will be seen that it is not enough to put a law on tbe statute books and expect it to be carried out by the peace officers. These officers will be powerless un less they are backed by public sen timent It was a comparatively easy matter to put a law on the books. The harder task is to create a healthy public sentiment These laws must be kept, even if they are podr laws. The best way to secure the repeal of a bad law is to enforce it rigorously. The very rights of all the people are- bound up in the observance of the laws of the land. To wink at the breach of any law is to lay the axe at the very roots of the rights of all the people. The peace officers and the ma chinery of the courts stand to avenge the majesty of an outraged law. The people at large can do a large service by a wise restraint against violating any law. This can be best done through community centres of t,he school and the church. The in fluence of the family connection is after all the most powerful agency that can be used. The majority of offenders against the law are mainly among CHosa who have not enjoyed the widest ad vantages of the school .room. The source of much.of the trouble can be reached by a protracted and united effort to wipe out illiteracy among the people. The school is the enemy of crime. Good Judgement Will Win. Several incidents have recently found their way into the Columns of the newspaper? which relate to the jiegro problem as it has Tden modi- fied by the induction" of many ne groes into army service. ‘“Some ne groes hpve brought from France, where social relations between the races vary from our own customs, obscene and lewd pictures. Upon showing these in public they have been arrested and punished. In other cases returning soldiers have had misunderstandings with peace officers. In Denmark last week a near riot took place between the whites and negroes in which fatali ties for both sides resulted. It-is no uncommon thing to hear the fear expressed thft trouble between the races will probably occur. What is behind it ailT Tbe newspaper makers mutt fill be Sn been raised elsewhere. At present the most progressive coJnties are 'Bonding Uretr counties for the sums needed. v Thi^-puts burden on the right place and oh the right people, because the roads belong , to the whole people. One big trouble with our system of public roads is that we have too much public road mileage. .Our people are scarcely settled, and each one expects a first class road in front of ‘his/dpor whether it is trav elled much or not. Another trouble is that it is our misfortune to have our roads in politics instead of-in- charge of competent *civil or high way engineers. _ The next session- of the legisla ture will ftfc&Jtbis problem. Our legislators Will have the chance td show their ability by the type of road building bill they enact. We would’nt go back to the old. sandyi roads for many times the cost and upkeep of our present systems. In "the same way we are willing to pa for roads that are better than, what we hAye. This matter can not be settled as a before breakfast j<fb, but is a matter for specialists^. We want as good roads in Barnwell county as are found in any other county in this state. Our guess is that we must “cut the garment ac cording to the cloth.’' We haven’t the type o! traffic that calls for con-* crete roads, nor have we the road material for macadam roads, but we are blessed with an abundance of sand and clay.

In a closed fruit jar in the Best Pharmacy last week cftuld be seen a few blackened cotton squares and the cause of it in the shape of a few boll weevil*. We have seen the in sects before, but we wish that we had seen him for the last time. These came from just across the river in Georgia. Later in this year we will in all probability be get ting them from our own fields ih Barnwell county. The weevil will force the moat of us out of, the narrow grooves in which we have lived for many years. He will come with a hard jolt be cause we have been “from Missouri and have waitdti to be shown.” Wc will probably come Ur a year when our cotton crop will be a beautiful weed with about ten per cent of a crop of cotton.. In short, cotton must giveaway to something else.as our money crop. This money crop will depend on our soil, clifw 'e. market conditions, but especially on the ability of our people to adjust themselves to iiew conditions. We must learn to work together. This has been an impossibility witlT the average cotton farmer. Under boll weevil conditions unity is strength. Whatever we raise as our money crop must be handled, grad ed and sold under improved market ing conditions. The average farm er working single handed is abso lutely at the mercy of the sharks association they get their supplies of the buyers in the larger city, markets. The Williston and Black- Ville asparagus growers shipping with no organization had to give a lions share of their jjrofits to com mission men. Linder the marketing cheaper, and larger profits than ever. Orangeburg has provided a government cotton grader, and also marketing bureau by which Orangeburg farmers can be assisted in grading and marketing what they have to sell. * 1 * * No man can buck the game single handed. We must see what has been dene in other sectidqs that have been infested with boll weevils. We must be willing to learn some thing from the fellow who has had e experience that we are due to Ret. ~ We can compare favorably in soil and climate with other sections scourged by ^he weevil, but wiltTve act as if we knew more about the weevil than the man who has had them. After all, cotton is a poor crop. Any man can make it, but the most of cotton farmers never get their noses from the grindstones nf debt. Other farmers live and die without raising cotton, so can we. If the Weevil will free us from- slav- ary to cotton he, she, and it will prove blessing's ip disguise. Miss (.aura Clary, Main Street, sky*: “A few years ago I had p bad rase of kidney trouble which put me in a serious condition. My back ached at times and I was ner vous. Headaches bothered me and objects seemed to float before my eyes. My kidneys acted iiregular, too. 1 lost considerable sleep and felt tired and dull all the time. Doan’s Kidney Pills were highly recommended to me, so I got some and used them as directed. I got relief from the start, the backaches quickly left me. my kidneys acted natural, the dixzy spells left an<f*I was soon entirely welL No return of the trouble has occured since and I recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills wherever I have an opportun ity.” Price 60c, at all dealers.
