QfLnd ILA, t- - THE SANTEE PEOPLE TRAPPED. Our attention has been called to a condition which we predict ed long ago would be, and ad vised against when it first be gan to appear that foreign cor porations had their eyes turned towards the swamp lands in this country. We cautioned the own ers of these lands to be careful how they disposed of their lands, and said then that they should reserve the pasture and hunting privileges, but from what we can learn many of them did not heed our advice. being tempted by the alluring gold of these foreigners, and now they are chewing the bitter eud of disap pointment. The people, both white and colored in this county, are very much worried because of the position taken recently by the Santee River Cypress Lumber Company in regard to the pastur ing of stock in Santee Swamp. Some years ago this company began actively to acquire by :*urchase the Santee lands, and .hey employed J. H. Lesesne. Esq., of the Manning bar. to ex amine into the titles. Mr. Les esne was born and reared on the Santee and was perhaps in bet ter position to do this work than a mian not acquinted with the people, his knowledge of that part of the county, and his thorough familiarity with the famlies in that section made him of value to the capitalists who own this great corporation. Mr. Lesesne's work was of course legitimate, he was only employ ed to pass upon the titles, he had nothing to do with the sales or the bargaining for these lands, and when engaged in this work for the Santee Cypress Lumber Company he little thought of the consequences to follow the acquirement of these lands by this company. Mr. Lesesne did not, dream the com pany would become arbitrary and troublesome to the people who have stock running in the swamp, a privilege they have enjoyed from time immemorial. for the reason. that vwhen the agents were seekingr the pur chase of these lands, they repre sented to the owners they only wanted the timber and would not have any objection to their pas turing: hunting and fishing: as long as the timber was not mo lested the people could hunt, fish and pasture all they wished. But a change has ccme over this mighty corporation, since it has gotten possession of the lands in most instances at a very low price, they are now turning the thumb-screws of oppression by requiring a fee for every head of stock pastured on its posses ions: 15 cents a head for hogs, and 50) cente.- per head a month for cattle. The price is very high, but if it was a moderate charge the company has acted in bad faith towards those people, in that it procured the lands cheap by holding out false hopes, and, it is because of such conduct the feeling against corporations .is not very kind: the people are dis posed to tr-eat corporations fair, but the corporations need not complain when verdicts are ren dered against them after they act towards the people in the manner the Cypress Lumber Company is doing. - There are some private parties who own lands in Santee Swamp, and it is practically out of the q.aestion for them to fence those lands off from those belong ing to the company, is it because these private parties will not sell that the company has resorted to this means of coercian to force them to part with their posses sions? Then too, there are ser - eral tracts of land in dispute, how is the ownership to be determin edy There is no wonder the peo ple along the Santee ar-e exerci ed, they are being deprived of one of their main sources of liv lihood by a power so great that it can keep the ordinary citizen in trouble or force him to divorce himself of what lhe has. The com pany has its regular-ly employed attorneys, and men to scour the swamps to see that their rules to bleed the people are carried out. Trhe ordinary citizen depe-ndant on his cow to furnish nourish ment for his family mos't eithier bow down and obey the tyrant. or give up all he can make to some lawyer to keep out of jail. It may p~erhaps be too late to sound a warning now: 'ye nave however th.e consciousnss~ or having don.e so when it was not too late. but we r-epeat :t aigam for the benefit of those who haive not yet been entriapped.t W~e ad v ise those owning sw'amp lands to be c-areful when they g'o to sei to see to it that they: not only get pay for the land. but the-r haLe in the contract a r-eser-:atin :or the pasture, tishing and h1unting~ orivilege.- If thingrs (-ontinue it 'will not be iong before it will be impossible to shoot a squirrel, c.tch a fih or do any hunting a o.ietv. club Or corporatuon foU the privilege or I- liable to land in jail, and be prosecuted by the paid attorney for the corporation, ciuh or societ .. hlow much long er wil tie people stand for such W.1i *to make it. clear that Mr. Lesesne is not doing work for the company at this time but when he did it was oniy to investigate the titles. without having any voice in the making of the con tracts or rules. VOTE WIThOUT PREJUDICE. The Bamberg Herald would have the voters to vote without prejudice. a splendid sentiment, but does the Herald follow its own preach ments when it accuses those who vote for McLeud as being in favor of barrooms or dispensaries? McLeod is for local option this does not signify he is in favor of the sale of lioncor at all, there are thousands of sincere prohibitionists who believe that more can be accom Wlished for the cause of real temperance through local option than can be forced by prohibi tion. These take the position and we agree with them. that in order to have even a semblance of pro hibition in any community, there must be a wholesome sentimen' in favor of the law, for withoul such a sentiment, the law will '>e disregarded. and. the more drastic the measures resorted tc are for the enforcement, the more obnoxious do such lawE become, and the greater the re sentment until it becomes a part of the community feeling tha1 the law is not to be regarded. This state of affairs exists i: those communities where prohi bition is forced upon an un willing people. Augusta Savannah. Atlanta. Brunswick, in fact all of the cities of Georgia. Alabama and Tennessee are detiantly disregarding the pro hibition laws; if the people o! those cities had been allowed tc vote, and the majority had saic prohibition, that majority wou!d have acted as the sponsor toi the law. and would have seen tc it that the law is respected. According to the Herald t< vote without prejudice is to votu its way of thinking; it is lik the fellow who said "I was the only unprejudiced man on the jury, the other eleven hung the jury, and caused a mis-trial. had they agreed with me the accusec would have been convicted." Tc vote without prejudice then. is tc vote not according to hones1 convictions, but to gratify the views of the supposed majority In other words. get on the band wagon. We think all voted should be cast without prejudict whether they are for Colone Featherstone or Lieut Governo MLeod, or. for that matter any of the other candidates, bu1 they should be cast sincerely and sanely. if those who an Prohibitionists honestly believ Colonel Featherstone can do what we think is impossible enforce a prohibition law upon people who will not sustain him then let them vote for him. bul if they are convinced that mor good can be accomplished by reserving the right of local sel government, then they shoul< select one who advocates tha sentiment. !THEY WANT MONtEY. The Game Commissioner o: Maine reports that $20,000,00( has been collected from fishermer and hunters in that State withim the past year. The contention o some is that Soizth Carohne should conserve the game an< tish through license and othe: statutes. If the purpose is to re quire a license from those wh< come into the State from without there would be no objection bu those who urge this kind of leg islation are those who are prin cially interested in securing th< openinig up of jobs. There is n< question that the ruthless de struction of tish and game i wrong and there should be som< protection but we do object to th; manner of protection dictated b: the Audubon Society. and th< present laws gotten through b: this society are so ultra that w< are sure the next legislature wil wipe them off the books and en act sane and sensible laws whic& will suit the conditions in thi: State regardless of the wishes o the Audubon Society. 1t is easily to oc seen thati there could be put into our Stat, treasury a large sum of mnone, for the policing of the stre~am: and forests the idle element woul< indeed live in clover, for it'is th, man who draws the line upon toi thtaccepts a position to go ore the country spying on his neigh2 bors. While for centuries pas there has been no necessity to in terfere with the pleasure of thos< who enjoy hunting and fishing i this day and time, since th< tourist has been comng' mto tha land there is an element whi would depri'.e everybody els< from these pleasure pr iieges.it order that they may pronit by Iin the leasing of lands or selling them to the rich mian's club fo his exclusive use. If thing cotilue as they have been goiin; Ion the past :ew years. our peop! who were reared up in out doo sort will be denr':'.ed of th~en altogethe'r. unless they submi thesel'.es to the hire of th wealty to go along as a ser':ant We realize that every owner u :~nd can do as he pleases with hi: ian. he can lease out the hunt ing privilege, he can refuse t permit his neighbors hunting o: is lands. he can also refuse t< l ave any contact with his nleigh1 bos at all =f he wishes. but whiic he does we imagine his !!fe wou!< Ibe miserable and not wor'th the ing. Bunt for the. iaw muain< v o te iland to lend its aid to taking away the privileges of the people to gratify the demands of an organization composed of a few persons, and they too living in the towns, is an oppression which should not, and will not be if the people will see to it. that their RepresNtatives make their views on this matter known be. foro they vote. INTOLERANCE. The State's arguments to prove the inconsistency of Col. Feather stone is getting that newspaper in hot water among the Prohibi tionists all over the State, in fact, if any newspaper dares to give an expression contrary to the views of the Prohibitionists, the red :lag goes up against it instanter. Argument has no place; they as sert. and that must be accepted. So far as The State's position on Featherstone's consistency is con cerned, we do not agree with it, but at the same time we are equal iv as much disagreed with the other side, because of its intoler ance. We contend a man may have a fixed opinion on some mat ter of public importance, and, in the course of time the condi tions change. his opinions can also change. this we take to be the reason Col. Featherstone has changed from prohibition to local option and from local option back to prohibition. but at. the same time. thesk changes of opinion do not preclude a newspaper from showing the changes, and arguing the ground of inconsistency. It can do this without being justly liabie to the censure of a religious association. It would be a bad day for journal ism when the press is forced to hide its sincere views for fear of winning the enmity of a church, and the action of the Abbeville Baptist Association in denounc ing The State for criticising a candidate for public office is, to say the least of it. ill advised. The great trouble is, people do not stop to reason when they be come enthused with an idea or a man whom they hare chosen to represent that idea: they get abusive, and do not argue, when such is the case there is but one thing to do, and that is to quietly leave them alone, and not try to argue with them. We have learn ed long ago that life is too short to try and convince a man against his will, and it is our observation that when a man gets the prohi bition fever there is no way of ridding him of it until he has found no one to argue with hi:. HARK FROM TEE TOMB. IIn last Monday's State a long lost brother let it be known that he is still in the flesh. Joel E. Brunson, one time the recognized Prohibition leader, is out in a let ter commending The State's atti tude towards C. C. Featherstone, and endorsing that newspaper's views with regard to the alleged inconsistency of Featherstone. We do not think Mr. Brunson is in any position to criticise or com mend for the reason that if we re member right it was he who when entrusted with the Prohibition leadership became afflicted with a severe case of political chillblains fand deserted their colors. We did not support Prohibition then and do not favor it now, but when a deserter undertakes to butt in we thnk it is time he should be in formed that his place is in obscur ity. if there is anything we do detest it is a quitter, and espec ially a quitter who makes faces at those enlisted with him, and they stood their ground. No Mr. Brunson, as one who is not a sup porter of Featherstone we invite you to go away back and sit down, get back into your political tomb, and pull the slab over the open mng. A sTATEMENT TO THE PUB~L1C. 1 am standing for re-electior to the State Senate, and in order to be understood I will briefly outline my views on public ques tions: I st. We are living in an age of advancement, and I am heart ;ily iD favor of giving every en couragement to progress, but, great-care should be taken les1 inm our zeal to improve, we "bite of more than we can chew." 2nd. There is no questioning the advisibility of building ul: our public highways, all must jagree to the wisdom of this cou rse. the only question with Iregard to it is, how can we dc Ithis work with the means at our command? I think money wise sly spent on the highways is a good investment, providing the same is equitaoly distributed, an-ud not confined to special lo calities. - 3rd. I believe the present sys ttemn of taking tax returns has outlived it~s usefulness. The laiw should be changed so the re turnis may be taken by the town ship boards instead of the audi tors. The members of a locality have knowledge of the property in th2e township, and I believe th etrs being received by tiem much property would get othe books that now escapes taxation. I also think the law should be canged with regard to the tix sing the tax levy, at present. the le -ve is madec before the returns are takenCI. and those whose busi ness it is to provide for a levy. have no oositive information to base a levy upon. if the law was reversed and the levy made ater the property is placed on the books. there would be posi )tie information to act upon. 4.lam in favor of submitting Ito the people a proposition to amend the constitution so as to aboish the three-mill tax. As ong~ as this three mill tax is forced on the property owners, iher will be no pronarty re turned for taxation at its value because, should the owners of property place what they have for taxation on the books at its value. the three-mill tax together with the other taxes would be ruinous. .th. I am in favoar of education. but my chief interest at this time is ii the cowioni schools1. these need the fostering care of the State. the con mon schools are Ithe anchor of the State's future hope-all cannot go to college, but if the State will provide good common school facilities.: the country is safe. It Is my honest opinion, there is too much money spent for the colleges. I am a believer in our State col leges. I am willing to pro vide well for the State colleges. but do not neglect the com mon schools. My record will sho.v that I have always been kindly disposed towards the colleges. but at the last session of the general assembly I was convinced that these institutions can be run with more economy. 6th. I am opposed to the enactment of drastic laws which seek to depr:ve the people of Lheir natural rights. The present game and fish laws I regard monstrous. and put upon the statute books in the interest of the pleasure seeking rich. and the pap-suckers who .tre after jobs. If elected. I propose to call into conference a number of fishermen and hunters who are not members of a fish and hunting society, and have a bill framed to suit the conditions in this section. I believe in the protection of our forests and streams, but I do not believe in taking all rights away from a supposedly free people. 7th. Our county government system is not what it should be, it is too expensive, I hope if elected to be able to make some changes in the law with a view of running the affairs of the county for less money. At present I am inclined to the township government plan. 8th. On the liquor question, I favor leaving the law alone ex cept to amend it so that judges who are to construe law, might- be of one mind, and so the people will not be confused as to what the law is. I will vote against a state-wide prohibition bill, for the reason: At present, if after the four years we have tried prohibition, the system is satis factory, we.will not have to ask for an election to continue it. but should in that time the con ditions be intolerable, the people can have the right to petition for an election to say whether or not alcoholic liquors shall be legally sold in the county: then. they can only have the right to sell after a majority has con sented by their ballots. If a majority refuses to consent to the legal sale, the minority must submit. just as the minority had to submit when the legal sale was v-ted out. I am opposed to state-wide prohibition because with the federal laws as they are, the money of the people is being sent away to make other States rich, while we are to suffer increased taxation. and the evil of drink continues to remain with us: with a state wide law we would be tied hard and fast with no hope of release until the rest of the State gives its consent, not even, if the desire for a change in the county is unanimous could we have a change made, therefore I am in favor of holding hard and fast to the local option principle. With state-wide prohibition Clar endon might be stinking with whiskey from the Florence line to the Santee River, our taxes quadrupled, the public roads made unsafe for travel, our schools closed for the lack of funds yet, we would be beloless. I favor local option because I am sincere in the belief it is in Ithe interest of temperance: it is a means to build a wholesome sentiment against the consump tion of liquor, it is persuasive, rather than a force, and in my judgment, when a people realize that it is for them to maintain a law. they will tak-e more concern in a law which is enacted with their consent, than in one which has been forced upon them. I will continue to stand for Local Option. These are my views on some of the principal matters now concerning the people. I have served the past four yeat s, and have endeavored to give to the masses my sincere eiforts. I shall be much gratified if the people whom I hope I served faithfully. will give mec their en Ve ry Respectfully. Louis AP~II T. lThe Primary System Not Perfect Is there any way b~y whichi nworthy and unprepared men may be prevented from disturb ingthe peace and the dignity of the State by numbering for ofice? Then men out of lumb,) so far as charac:ter goes, whose word is worth no more than their bond, and their bond would not be taken by any commercial agencv, have the arrogrance to to run for an otfice that should be tilled by an honorable. sane. upright man. No man should run for- an otfice in which the money inte ests of others are 1-o be cared for who cannot successfully manage his own business. It is an arro ant assumption which shoul be rebuked. How is the reform to be brought about? After the whirl wind campaigsns inaugurated by the Tillman movem'ent and the adoption of the primary system, it would be impossible now to go back to the converition plan of to nominate by the people. the greatest evil of which is that the miiost blatant. shameless. un blushing citizen may mount the, stump and abuse and malign the the best and most worthy candi dates. Many of oui citizens und-i - stand the cundition. but s-e no way to imiprove it. Tho1 appeal to the ballot box does unot settle anything. Even if an unworthy man is not elected, lie retires and next election year there will be two just as worthless to take his place in the canvass. It has been suggested h.y oni citiz'n that a coiui nation if the convention with tlie priiary svstem would somewhat improve conditions. Let a county com mission be appointed by a rei resentative convention to select candidates for the legislature. Take two or three dozen of the best men of the county. who shall consider the merit and and ability and cizaracter of all candidates for the general as sembiy. Let them endorse and recommend the bst men and have the power to select and nominate others who are not seeking the otice. If there are, twice as many men as places, so much the better. It will give the people an opportunity to ex ercise their.choice. This is one suggestion. That plan would not prevent any one from running. if he de sired so and he complied with the rules. There may be other plans. or there may be no practical plan. by which the totally unfit may be prevented from seeking offices which call for the service of well qualified. honorable men. But our best citizens are con sidering the matter and hoping that there may be some method by which a reform may be made. Spartanburg Journal. If Hon. 0. C. Scarborough polls a large vote in Bamberg county for railroad commissioner the people of this county will be casting their ballots in the right direction. He is a clean, able man, and will fill the posi tion better than any other man in the race. Let your ballot be for Scarborough for railroad commissioner, and you will make no mistake.-Bamberg Herald.
