Clarendon is interested in defending her- cc self from being backed at by the at promoters of the Rutledge or county scheme, and equally, if ot not more interested, in fighting p< off the projectors of the Beulah in county scheme. both are being, t: worked in the interest of prop- ul erty-owners in Lake City and ai Olanta respectively, and each set b< have a charming solicitude for p] the "dear people." Olanta is a h, a small town at the end of the tc Alcolu Railroad, with a Tim- p] monsville concern having large tU mercantile interests, a county e( seat is needed in the business to oi sell off building lots and make big money for the owners; if this1 coanty is established, it will take from Clarendon nearly the whole of Salem, making Black a' river the county line: we doubt c< if Clarendon can stand such a ti cut and be left with sufficient e area, but whether it c=n stand w the cut or not, we have an abid- s ing faith in the people of Sandy Grove, Douglas, New Zion and tc Midway that they will not be will- t( ing to contribute to the private C4 interests of a few lot-owners at t canta. That the - people of 7 Olanta are not idle, can be seen ti from the following article we e clip from the County Record of e last Thursday: S "Messrs. G. H. Brockinton and W. J. Worsham, two prominent young business men of Olanta, were in King- S stree Monday and paid the Record t omce an agreeable visit, Mr. Brockin- 7 ton being a native of Williamsburg, b was much gratified at the growth and improvement here which bad taken place since his last visit to Kingstree. Both these young men are enthu- o slastic advocats of the proposed new s county with Olanta as the county seat. Olanta is now in Florence county and P her people have been shifted around in e' three different counties, viz, Sumter, b - Clarendon and Florence, and they are o stiEl remote from a counq~ seat.. They state that should the Rutledge county movement fail to materialize they feel h assured of eventualsuccess in establish- p ing their new county with Olanta asthe a capital. Being formed from par's of Florence, Clarendon, Sumter and Wil- P liamsburg, they say that no old cnunty ti will suffer materially from loss of area, C4 while they will have one of the most ci compact counties in the State. The area -r~e to be taken from the foura counts ave been surveyed and a map ti made, which shows that Oianta is very 0 nearly in the center of the territory s1 that she seeks and that the average dis tance from the county sear. is not over. ten miles. Under present conditions i the people of the area affected have to ti go from15 to 2O miles to their county c< "As in the lo'xersection of Williams-a burg, the people around Olanta, in the al four countiaes above named, need relief n~ and should Sandy Grove township v-ote c itself into Rutledge county, Johnson- 4 ville and Olanta and contiguous sec tions are forever barred from obtainin"' E this relief. 13l This is the view taken by the people S of Olanta and they of course are usmz 'e, every legitimate meanus to further the' - interests of their county movement' * Messrs. Brockinton and Worsham fl went on to say that a report had been et started that Olanta had raised mioney ta to-cry to "buy up" the people of isandy Grove in tI'. approaching election. ? They resent the insinuation with the It scorni it deserves. They hold the peo- di preferred to in too high esteem to hve ever thought of such a scheme, even were they themselves base enough ~ to desire it. The mere suggestion is an it insult to the good people of Sandy Grove and the suggestion did not come from Olanta. The people of Olantaclaim that their town is admirably suited for a county k< seat- They are now erecainr a $,000t fr school building and the progressive tr people are planin many other im provements. The climate is healthy and the poulation of the town increas- h lng raidy." n4 WISDOM MORE EFFECTIE THAN FORCE. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, acting upon this bi principle the illicit sellers of st Charleston and Richland a re n<4 joining the prohibition fores to ai close down the dispersaries. The 0] mayor of Columbia gives notice tt that if the dispensary system is C1 voted out of Riebland, he will ern- to force prohibition to the lette~r, in the grand jury of Charleston gi make a general complaint about rc the violation of the dispensary 1W law in that chty, and yet, notwith- cc standing Columbia m ay or 's bt threat, and Charleston's grand jury's complaint, the tiger ele- Ibe ment want a prohibition system. Ijo It would not surprise us if both ra Charleston and Riichland. go into of the prohibition column, and when su they do neither Richland or Char- C] leston will be able to secure a sh "true bill," not to say a convic- ke viction. It is our sincere opinion gr that with the sentiment so strong- tu ly aversed to prohibition as it is co in the two connties named, the forcing prohibition upon either in of them, will only be sowing the v seeds of jury corruption, and fur ha ther, it will reach the point when Iall men seeking public office must, WV if tLoy expect election, pledge th themselves to ignore the prohi- ta bition law. This view may not su sound good to citizens who, pride tu themselves upon observing the ar law, 't force a condition upon a m peop? hey resent, and they will pc :e with oar eiectiou iaws in 7-q, 18k0 and 1982.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.

CHARL.ESTON'S DAr HAS COME. The news of the proposec 3ilding of a railroad from Win on-Salem to Wadesboro con ~ctmg the Norfolk and Westeri d the Atlantic Coast Line. thi ening up a direct route througi e Pocahontas coal fields t< arleston is gratifying indeet. all of us, and it is but confirm g our judgment of Charleston't eat future. This new piece o: ad also shortens travel to the est, and makes a new field foi mmercial operations for th( ismess of Charleston. Baltimore for many years has~ en the Southern Mecca for the bbing trade, but with this nevw ilroad development the opening the Panama canal, and the re coming of the Carolina. inchfield and Ohio, nothing ort of the veriest stupidity will e Charleston from being the eatest wholesale and manuxac ring center on the Atlantic We venture the prediction that less than ten years property lues in Charleston will be en nced three hundred per cent. indications point that way. e know of no better place in e South to invest in real es te, and no liner field to begin all and diversified manufac ring industries: thme large plants e coing later, because. of the Lgniticnlt water andI rail trans rtation facilities that city will wili be coming into Charleston several steamship lines from the t South American ports. traffic will be opened up with the far East, i and besides the Atlantic Coast ] Line and Southern, there will be' the Seaboard Air Line. Carolina Clinchfield and Onio, and oth- I er lines seeking the great xater outlet for the traffic seeking mar- I kets beyond the Pacific. Charleston has been sitting quietly these many years. her people have been permitting their I money to rust in bank vaults. I some few lacking faith in the city's future, took their wealth to other parts for investment, but all that is changed by the opening I up of the canal, and having the , eyes of commerce opened to the girreat advantages afforded. UNJUST DISCRIMINATION. We notice in a number of news papers the publication of income tax returns, which is a violation of law. Just why these returns should be kept secret from the public we do not know nor do we believe if tested it would hold, but nevertheless until tested it is, law. and no auditor, under pen alty of dismissal from office. is permitted to give out information concerning these returns, and the newspaper which gives pub licity to them is liable to a heavy fine. Thus it seems. the public is told by the law, that a public record, becomes a private matter 1 when it comes to the things af fecting those who have so much of this world's goods that the State requires a special tax to be levied unon the income thereof. The public is at liberty to look into the property returns of John Jones who has only a little bull ox which is his dependence to make a living for himself and family. Newspapers also are at perfect liberty to exploit the pov erty of the said John Jones. mat ters not how mortifying but when it comes to a law requiring an income tax from those who earn more than $2,500 per annum -they may have an income of $100,000 a year and only return $1,000, South Carolina by section 489. of the Code, throws a sacred wall of secrecy around that which the rich man has, and says to the officer in charge of the returns, -You make Mr. Coupon-Clipper's returns public, or give out any information concerning them whatever at the peril of losing your employment,-the office en trusted to you by the people." r The newspaper man is threaten L ed with being mulct in a heavy ,fine, or imprisonment, if he dares expose to the public view the tax-dodging. We ask why t h is discrimination? If Mr. Coupon Clipper's return is not a public record, why should John Jones' be? Both are citizens, and .entitled to the same treatment from the law. It is our judgment the returns should be published, the people as a whole are inter este'd, and have a right to know Swhether or not honest returns are being made. -Another one of South Caro lina's heroes has passed over the Sriver. Col. John C. Haskell, the gallant soldier and sta.tesman died at his home in Columbia last SFriday. SThe Saluda Standard comes to ius this week with Mr. F. Earle' SBradham, formerly of Claren don as its editor. Mr. Bradhamj has had newspaper experience, and we hope he will find his new~ t ield profitable. -The Roman Catholic church in! tChicago has issued a call to every -Catholic church in Illinois to join Iin the fight for a dry State. TheJ call denounces Catholic societies Swhich tolerate the sale of intoxi -cants at picnics and SaturdayI -night dances. This movement -has considerable political signiti-! -cance. Many years ago it wash -through the Father Matthew te Lperance societies that Catholic-' )ism secured a strong hold upon the politics in New: York, and at one time managed to get control of the public schools. Whether the Chicago temperance Catholics are after nolitical control we do know, but they will bear not watching all the same Mrs. Howard Gould's victory in her suit for separation from her husband with a $36,000 an nual alimony, is encouraging to other women of the four hundred -that have ensnared the gilded youth of New York, who have~ more money than brains, to ridi themselves of a disgusting allii ance, and secure a good roundi sum of money to indulge their immoral and demoralizing pro-I pensities. Gould is rich, but his regar for his actress wife was nothing but a t "iporary animal passion, she omiy cared for his money, and as time went on the golden chain which linked them together became galling to both, resulting in a disgust ing publicity. Is a man consistant when he advocates prohibition, and at' the same time encourages the mnufacture and sale of intoxi cants, by ordering liquor. drink ing liquor, and furnishing liquor on occasions to his friends? This is a question puzzling to us. be-; cause, we frequently find men who advocate and vote for pro hibition that do these things: they are regarded by some as, especially desirable citizens, and the man who dloes not advocate prohibition. but neither orders drinks or gives away liquor, i regarded by those we allude to. as one who is an enemy to man kind. whose voice in this govern ment should be stilled.
