The senate has appoined a comm- cc
ittee to investigate che charges th3 j n(

legislature last year against Mr. A. j th
A. Richardson and that committee is 1 j,*
to report before a vote is taken on ^
the veto message. \

The cold wave and the storm of;
; A:
last week shut down tthe power plant;
n(
in Newberry. from last Friday after-;
\ i ai
moon "until Saturday night. As a!
I di
result the linotype, and the presses J ,
I si
of the printing office also were shut
m
down two days interfered somewhat ,
? dl
with the amount of type we could get
for this issue.
The house of representatives passed
a resoluton unanimously requesting
the tax commission to rescind !
i
its resolution directing auditors to
assess all property at 50 per cent
value, i'here is no law for such an
assessment any way. The statute says
actual value. Of course every one
knows that no property is assessed at
actual value. There is also a hill introduced
in the senate to abolish the !
commissions.
The fact that all of the South Caro
lina congressmen voted against the
suffrage amendment to the federal
constitution does not necessarilu
mean that they are opposed to woman
suffrgae. It means that they agree
that it is a matter that should be left
to the States, and in that position they
right. Th^ftame position isUhe logical
one as to prohibition. Those are
matters that rightly belong to the
States unless it is the purpose to wipe
out all State sovereignty ?nd all Stat?
lines and let the federal government
run the whole -business. But Congressman
Dominick was the only South
Carolina congressman to vote against
the amendment as to lipuor^
Congressman Johnson and his private
secretary have both entered the
army as privates. And the congressman
has given up his $7,500 salary
for $33 per month. His wire is quoiea
as saying: "Of course it is lonesome
. tout I think my husband is right in
joining the army. He feels that as he
voted to send other men to the front,
"he ought tQ be willing to go himself.
He would not apply for a commision '
because he has had no military
.' . training. If he feels that he ought to
?ive his all to his country I certainly
ought to back him up and I do."
That's the right spirit but it so
ften happens that the fellow who
is loudest in his protestations of
patriotism wants the other fellow to :
_ *
4o the real fighting and he tries to ,
keep his own either out or in some i
soft place that he thinks is bomb j
proof. j

The Gaffney Ledger says that the
gravest problem now confronting the
country is the labor problem. And the
Ledger is about correct. For some
reason it seems almost impossible to'
get any labor at thi time to do any
of work. It is not because of the enlistment
in the army or because of the
emigration of any great part of it.
But we believe it is because the labor
that we have been accustomed to have
in this neck of wood has made money
the past year and so long as the
money holds out there will be nothing
doing along the line of labor.
If something is not done to see that
fields are planted and cultivated and
the harvest gathered there will be a
scaracitv of bread and the armies in
the fields can not do much fighting
3ople at home will go hungary.
There has been scarcity of wood j
ad of coal and yet in this section of j
le country there is plenty of timber j
Lit of which fire wood could be made j
nt it is impossible to get any one to j
jt it at any price. These conditions
iould not exist but they do. The ^
nly way to solve the problem is for '
irery one to go to work and remain j
t work.

J
i the legislature requiring that all j

WOMAN GUARDS A CROSSING
Takes Man's Job as Watchman, for
Railway Company and Likes
the Work.
South Bend.?Women are filling
men's positions in Europe and some
are alrea .y doing it in the United
States. Among the women nere wnc
are doing men's work is Mrs. Helen
Stackman, watchman at the Vernon
street crossing of the New York Central
railroad. Mrs. Stackman is enthusiastic
over her new job and says,
while she believes woman's place is in
the home, she feels perfectly at home
in her little watch house. She has two
small children who spend most of the
day in school and the rest of the time
with their mother at the crossing.
Many persons who live in the neighborhood
of the crossing believe that
Mrs. Stackman earns her monthly salary
every day in heart ease for the
mother, whose children must .cross the
railroad to and from school. The little
watch house provides the children
with a sort of half-way place between
home and school, and already this year
they have taken advantage or tne oj>
portunity to stop and warm themselves.
"There really is not much work to it
even if it is supposed to be a man's
job," said Mrs. Stackman; "everyone
is so nice 'n obeying signals that it is
really no trouble whatever.* The real
object of my being here is to look out
for the schoolchildren and see that thej
get across the tracks all right. I spend
much of my time knitting."
