When the prohibition law is adopt
ed it should be enforced regardless
of consequences.
We have no interest in the matter,
but. if the people who will constitute
Rutledge county are wise they will
defeat the new county.
The News and Courier calls on
President Taft to veto the tariff bill,
but. as he hardly wants to commit
political suicide, the advice will go
unheeded.
We are glad to say that Orange
burg couuty has no bonded debt and
we hope she never will. It is very
easy to go in debt, but pretty hard
to work out.
Whenever you hear of a negro
blind tiger who is selling whiskey
to any extent you can rest assured
that 'here is a white man in that
"nigger's woodpile."
The taxable property of Rutledge
county, should it be -formed, would
be but very little more than that of
the city of Orangeburg. If there was
?. probability of this city being made
a county, we would hunt a new lo
cation. Taxes would eat us up.
We regret to hear of the misfor
tune that has befallen Norway, and
hope that she will soon arise from
the ashes. I lor people aiv plucky,
and they do not propose to .-:t d >wn
and bewail their misfortune, out
will go to work to rebuild their
waste nlaees.
The Editor of The Times and Dem
ocrat is under obligations to Mr.
Ceo. W. Branson, of The News, and
Mr. J. R. McGee, of The Piedmont,
for their many acts of kindness dur
ing his recent visit to Greenville,
attending the meeting of the Press
Association.
The Charleston Evening Post says:
"It is very gratifying to see the dog
' catcher hired again by the city au
thorities. Sound sense prompted City
Council to vote for a continuation of
the official's duties in protecting the
public, from dangerous dogs." Char
leston is more considerate of the pub
lic than Orangeburg.
Ulind tigerism is responsible for
t'.:-' death of two men down in Col
letou. They were shot to dea'h by
an illicit whiskey seller because they
attempted to seize fifty gallons of
alcohol he had received by express.
It the courts will promptly convict
and execute this blind tiger they will
do much to rid Colleton county of
his kind.
The new tariff law will increase
the cost of woolen wear to the peo
ple of this country two hundred mil
lion dollars each year, according to
the figuring of the New York World.
Will some of our friends, who think
protection is a good thing, figure out
to the farmers where it is to their
ii-terest to pay more for their cloth
ing than they now pay?
Among the visitors to the Press
Association at Greenville was Col.
Hunt of the Southern Railway. He
use to be general assistant passenger
agent, but was promoted to the head
of the bureau that has charge of the
ticket collecting on the trains, which
is a very responsible position. Col.
Hunt is an affable, pleasant gentle
man, whom it is always a pleasure
to meet.
The New York World says in an
ticipation of the advantages given
them in the new tariff bill, the woo
len mills have given notice that they
will raise the price of all woolens
from 20 to 2:11 per cent. This is
one of the blessings of the rubber
protective system that is not appre
citted by our farmers who have to
sell their cotton in an unprotected
market.
Senator Gore, who is not so blind
a* some, made a remark as the Ald
rt :b tariff bill went scampering
through the senate on Thursday
night. He said: "Mary had one
l^'ub and it followed her to school
one day: the chairman of the finance
committee bos fifty lambs, and they
fo low him every day!" And this is
tust ubout the neatest thing that
hss been said during the whole tariff
discussion.
The men's clothing industry is the
third largest in the country. Its out
put is valued at six hundred million
dollars annually, and it is allowed
by the terms of the tariff laws to hold
up the people for at least two-thirds
of that amount. Why a man has to
pay $3 0 for a suit of clothes in this
country that he can buy In Canada
for $18 is one of the beauties of the
protective system that its mo3t ardent
advocates can't explain.
Shortage of Farm Laborers.
Secretary Wilson, the veteran sec
retary of Agriculture, says that the
scarcity of farm laborers is more
responsible for his ailments than the
sins of the corporations. Since re
turning from a Western trip Mr.
Wilson is more than ever impressed
with the conviction that the high
, prices of food stuffs are directly
traceable to the neglect of fanning,
i The condition in the West, as ob
served by the Secretary of Agricul
i ture reveals a woeful neglect of
splendid fanning lands, where thou
sands of fertile acres are lying idle
because it is almost an impossibility
for the owners to hire help, even at
1 exorbitant prices. The country boys
1 are seeking town and gravitating to
j ward the industrial centers, while the
I same- tendency is plainly shown
! among the immigrants. Hence, the
(scarcity of farm products and the
? severe strain upon the consumer.
I 'Those who regard this theory as
I inadequate and who think that mo
nopoly is not without considerable
responsibility for Che high prices of
foodstuffs must admit," says the
Chicago Record-Herald, "that the
scarcity of agricultural labor is a
fact, and as such it at least partially
accounts for the phenomenon in
question." j
"But why not go a little deeper
into the case, and trace the cause and
effect? What is the meaning of this,
furious and increasing rush to the
industrial activities, neglect of the
j agricultural pursuits?" asks the
I Augusta Chronicle. The Chronicle
then proceeds to answer its own
question, and in doing so lays bare
the whole trouble. It says "it is
the lure of over-valuation, the thirst
for the benefit of special favors, the
instinctive scent of a cinch, that
sends men flocking to those pursuits
which promise easy money rather
than hard toil. It is. in other words,
the direct effect of the high protec
tive tariff, which places an absurd
reward on the efforts of manufac
turers and while giving them a "sure
thing" leaves the agriculturist to
take his chances in an open market,
selling his goods in fair competition,
governed by the law of supply and
demand, alone and not ministered to,
and pampered by the indulgent kind
nes.- of a doting tariff law.
"The hard and honestly earned
dollar of the farmer, which rep
sents a true mesaure of industry
and effort, is spent in a protected
market, which discounts it's worth.
For the common every day necessi
ties of life, for the implements with
which he toil.-, 'the man with the
hoe' must pay his tax, must bend
his back to bear the burdens of the
extravagence, folly and self indul
gence which the tariff law permits
to its favorites. In the meantime the
agricultural products of tlie nation
are its basis of wealth and progress.
Without the cotton product by the
. Southern States what would become
of those interests which .Mr. Aldrich
; is so faithfully serving?
"The nation's prosperity and pro
gress demand a square deal. Inter
ests which are inter-dependent and
allied must be placed on a parity of
values, if honesty and fair play are
to be maintained as American ideals
and this can only be done by an hon
? est and drastic downward revision
? of the taritY, not by its friends, nor
by its enemies, but by the friends
honesty and justice and the enemies
of graft and favoritism. The disaf
fection of the farm laborers is but
? a symptom of the deep seated troub
le from which the entire country is
suffering. Suggestions, such as the
Chicago Record-Herald offers, that
this difficulty be met by an exten
sion in promoting the better distri
bution of immigration and directing
the aliens to those localities where
the shortage of labor is greatest,
is valuable chiefly as a temporary
1 relief. The situation is bound to
become more vexed and disastrous
as the years pass, without the remedy
' to the underlying evil which pro
duced it and tariff reform is that
remedy."
Afraid of Safe Hanking.
On a suit brought. by national
banks, which are not controlled by
. the law, two United States judges
have granted a temporary injunction
j restraining the enforcement of the
. Nebraska statute providing for the
guaranty of bank deposits. The law
only a fleets State banks, as national
banks are exempt from all State laws
by the United States, which char
. ters them. Hut it seems that the
national banks are afraid of safe
banking on the part of the State
banks, whose depositors are made
perfectly safe by the operation of the
law which the national banks asks
the United States judges to set aside.
The judges have not given their rea
sons yet. and it is not known upon
what ground they based their decis
ions. The national banks object to
the law because it gives the State
banks an advantage.
In commenting on the action of
the national banks in bringing the
suit and the judges in holding up
the law. The Commoner says. "The
fact that two United States judges,
one a non-resident, and both appoint
ed by a president living in another
State can. without awaiting action
by the State courts, interfere with the
join-ration of a law enacted by a Ne-j
I braska legislature to regulate Nc
lb raska banks organized under Ne-|
i braska laws and accepting deposits
I from Nebraska people compels the
citizens of the State to consider
the question of the State's right to
control its own affairs and protect
j its own people.
"The fact. too. that bankers doing
I business in Nebraska would ignore
. the State judges and rush Into a
?United States court is significant: it
indicates that while they are willing
to make their money in Nebraska
and to use the State courts to collect
debts due them they are not willing
to trust the courts of the State to
interpreto the laws passed to guard
the interests of the people of the
State. It is not fair to assume that
the supreme court of the United
States will, on appeal, deny to the
people of Nebraska, acting through
their legislature, the right to de
termine the security which a State
bank will give to depositors, but in
the meantime the voters of Nebraska
should leave no doubt as to their de
termination to have security for their
deposits."
Southern Cotton Mills.
The textile directory recently is
sued by the land and industrial de
partment of the Southern Railway
and Mobile and Ohio Railroad con
tains a list of cotton, knitting, and
woolen mills in the territory of these
lines on the first of the year. At
that time these mills numbered 71,
of which 5.84 were cotton mills, 124
knitting mills, and 4'? woolen mills.
^ all. these plants operated 225,210
looms and 7.853,738 spindles. In the
territory at the time of the gathering
of these statistics 0 mills were un
der construction.
The growth of the industry has
boon remarkable. In 1SS0 all the
textilp plants of the South had but
667.000 spindles, barely 0 per cent,
of the total in the United States, now
they are credited, in round numbers,
with 10,500.0*00 snindles?practical
ly ."ft per cent of the number in the
entire country. The capital em
ployed has grown from $21,000,000
to nearly $300,000,000. and the num
ber of bales of cotton annually used
from 210.0HO to over 2.1 00.000 . No
other manufacturing section ever in
creased its spindles in as large per
centages.
South Carolina has 3 400.000 snin
dles as against 1.400.000 in 1900.
nnri North Carolina in the same pe
riod increased its number from l.-i
100,000 to 3.1 00.000. Notable in
creases have also been made in door
cia and Alabama. During the la^t
half of 190S North Carolina construc
ted 30 mills, a greater number than
any other State. Of the cotton manu
facturing States South Carolina is
second, North Carolina third, and
Georgia firth, according to the latest
available statistics. The Piedmont
region is one of the great cotton
manufacturing districts of the world,
and has such prominence in this in
dustry that the territory of the South
ern Railway between Danville. Va..
and Atlanta, Ga.. has been referred
to as one long cotton mill village.
A Very Sad Death.
A dark shadow has fallen upon
this city because of the death of
one of its most beautiful and lova
ble young daughters, Mrs. Jennie
May Riggs, second daughter of Dr.
aiid Mrs. J. G. Wannamaker. Only
a few months ago she became the
happy, lovely bride of Mr. Arthur
Lee Riggs, of Charleston, and now
all the fond hopes of that auspicious
occasion have been blighted by the
cold hand of death, and this com
munity mourns the passing of a
young matron who was unvariably
beloved because of her many noble
traits of character. She was not only
beautiful in form and feature, but
beautiful in all the attributes that
go to make up a noble and lovely
young woman. The sympathy of all
go out to the bereaved loved ones.
