_beMa ibg time~s, LIU&r APPELT. Editor. MANNING. S. C MAY 21, 1913. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY 10 MORE CONSTABLES. The State supreme court has decided there is no Statute in the State to prohibit liquor from being delivered for personal use. The Governor claims this decis ion has made it useless to con tinue the employmeet of a con stabulary, - and has issued an order dismissing those now in the service to take effect June 1st. It is hard to say whether or not the conclusion of the gover nor that the court's decision renders it useless to have these officers, is wise or not. The liquor constables in Charleston and Columbia have done very little towards the enforcement of the law or to- putting out of business the blind tiger, ele ment, the l i t t l e which has been done other places was ac complished by the local author ities through employing detec tives mainly. Nevertheless, we are not sure the governor's ac tion in dismissing the constables is wise, without officers of this kind we have no assurance that the law outside of incorporated towns and cities will have atten tion given to it. If the magis trates and their constables out side of the towns would be active in putting down the illicit sale of -liquor in their respective communities, we believe it would have a beneficial effect, and possibly do more good than the State constables, but with the local officers inactive, and no State officers to look after this growing defiance of law, we fear there will be more lawlessness than before, especially, since our highest State court has re fused to say the shipment for personal use must not be deliver ed, until thegeneral assembly en acts a law that will made such shipments unlawful. As we understand Governor Blease's position, it was his purpose to put into operation a force which would have seized all liquor coming into the State whether for personal use or otherwise had not the court tied his hands, but his efforts, from his viewpoint, would be fatile after the court has decreed as it has. It will now be up to the gen eral assembly to says whether or not it will have a law which will give to the State the right to seize liquors whether for per sonal use or not, if it does, South Caronina will be as dry as apow der horn, and we will have an ideal condition so far as the con sumption of liquor is concerned in the, counties wheie the peo ple by their votes have declared -against -the legal sale, and in those counties where it is legally sold the dispensaries will reap ~a harvest. because, the beverage can only be secured from the dispensaries, and the transpor tation companies can only de liver to the authorized places of -legal sale. There are but few counties in this State where -liquor can be legally sold, but in several other counties there is an effort being made to restore the sale; should these counties return to the wet column and add themselves to those already wst, there will be a question for the courts to decide, whether or not South Carolina is a Prohibi tion State, as contemplated un -der and by the federal Webb Act, which has just been con strued by our court as permit ting personal use liquor to be delivered, in the absense of a State statute to the contrary. The question is hard to down, about the time people become accustomed to a condition, some thing new arises to keep the mis ,erable controversy stirring. WILL. GEr NOTHING. The old dispensary will not -down. Attorney General Peebles has been asked by citizens of Chester to bring suit against *Joseph B. Wylie, a member of the former dispensary board, to recover $28,000 rebate money *which he acknowledged receiv ing as his share of the rebates -paid to the members of the board of control. Attorney General Beebles has the matter under consideration, and if there is any chance to recover this mon ey he will bring the suit. Wylie it will be remembered, received immunity from prosecution by the former attorney general be cause of his turning State's evi dence, now whether this immun ity~ also absolves him from the financial responsibility is a ques tion yet to be determined. At the time of' the trial at which Mr. Wylie became a witness for the State against his colleagues on the board of control we said then that if Wylie would turn over his ill gotten gains there might be something in his profession of penitence, he did not do this, but held on to the swag and told on the others in accordance with an arrangement made to save himself from going to prison. A man who can do this can also find a way to hide the money he 'obtained so there will be very little chance for the State to come into its own. According to a dispatch from Spartanburg published in this morning's News and Courier, a warrant has been issued for Rev. S. A. Nettles, charging him with assault and battery, resulting from a quarrel Mr. Nettles had with another preacher by the name of James B. Chick over a financial transaction. EXECUTION BLOCKED. The supreme court of this State has affirmed the decision of the Marlboro court which con- t victed one Joe Malloy for the c murder of two white boys near t Bennettsville. Hon. W. F. Stev- i enson, of Cheraw, counsel for Malloy, has taken an appeal to I the United States court on the t ground that when Malloy commit- 3 ted the deed the law provided the 1 death penalty by hanging, but be- t fore conviction the law had been changed so that the death pen- c alty would be electrocution. Law yer Stevenson contends the sen- I tence of Malloy to the chair is un- t constitutional, because when the crime was committed there was t no such penalty, and as there is t no provision for hanging in this State no punishment can be in-t inflicted which results in death. r Mr. Stevenson is an able law- a yer, and when The State says I "such argument holds reason as a a seive of large mesh holds wa- N ter" it does not give him credit for the astuteness his political opponents concede to him. When Mr. Stevenson makes his argu t ment to the court it will make a interesting reading we are sure. t He will give that tribunal a nut a to crack. There is another case a recently decided, the decision be c ing based upon the Malloy. de- E cree, in which the prisoner is to r be remanded back to the Claren a don court for sentence, whether ' this will be done in the coming t term has not been made. known, a but it may be that the lawyers t for Bethune will ask for a stay until the Malloy case has been 4 adjudicated in the United States t supreme court. No man should be hastily or i inconsiderately convicted, espec rally, where the penalty is death, because once dead a wrong can- 1 not be remedied. at the same time I there should be some way by I which the delays of justice can t be prevented. Take the Bethune s case from this county, the pris- r oner has been brought to and c from the penitentiary a number i of times, the county is paying i this expense, we are told the pen I itentiary has a claim against c Clarendon for over $500. and the t longer the prisoner is held the 1 more the expense; after each i sentence his lawyer finds some x new ground to delay the execu- c tion of the law, how long this is x to continue no one knows. Z We do not know what the next < move for the defence m the Be- i thune case will be, but inasmuch t as Lawyer Stevenson, a recog nized lawyer of ability has deem- , ed it wise to carry a case to the j highest court. it can be surmised t the lawyers for Bethune will not 1 be content to let their client pay a the penalty at this stage, as it gives theni a reasonable groundt to ask the court to stay the exe cution SWAMP DRAINAGE. The matter of draining our, swamp lands has been taken up, by Mr. James A. Thames. He, has received a reply from Con gressman Whaley, in which he1 says he thinks he can get the government to send engineers down into these swamps to make the survey after the drainage districts have been organized under the provisions of the State laws. Our impression is the law provides for the divid ing up the low lands into sec tions or districts, this is done by 1 petition, and'-when the requisite number of the owners of the land in a- given district signify 1 intention of making a drainage district,a survey is made and an election is held at which the dis trict is bonded to raise the money -for the work. Mr. Thames' litter from Mr. Whaley does not promise any govern ment aid further than to survey. There is no doubt the drainage of the swamp will reclaim thousands of acres of the most fertile land in the world, if the government can be induced to take on this work it will greatly aid in the further development of this country. The difficulty now is, most of the swamp lands have gone out of the ownership of the individuals, and are own ed by syndicatees, therefore the individuals residing in the dis-1 tricts are not enthusiastic over a project which is calculated to open up more land to compete. with the farmers of today, and too, it is thought that if the drainage is to be done by taxa tion in the districts, it practic-1 ally means the loosening of the grip of the small owner on his land, to be eventually swallowed by the syndidate owning the swamps. Then it is also ob jected to because it is feared the opening up of these fertile lands. 1 will attract an undesirable ele ment to this country, and that 1 we may be in the same predica ment which is now annoying the people of California, and the entire pacific slope of States. When the swamp lands were bought years ago those who in vested were long-sighted finan ciers, they had the money, and we had an unproductive and tax 1 compelling land; it was either to hold these non-profitable lands 1 and be tax-burdened, or dispose of them at the price then pre vailing-which was a low figure, 1 anywhere from 25 cents to $1.50) per acre, the then owners could not afford to hold them, and the syndicate took advantage of the conditions to plant their money and wait for developments, no doubt holding the view that some day the government will be induced to carry the water from these lands, in that event, a handsome profit will be de-a rived: in the meantime the tim ber, which by costly appliances, can only be obtained, will pay mthingonn the investment. WHY IS IT THUS? The appeal to the United States upreme court to test the consti utionality of the Act which hanged the punishment in capi al cases, is a matter for the ser ous reflection of the electors. It hould be borne in mind that a arge per cent of the members of he general assembly are law rers-men whg profess to be earned in the principles of law, hey scorn the views of laymen who have the temerity to apply :ommon sense to a legal propo ;ition, and yet, we find these awyers allowing Acts to pass Trough the general assembly which they know are unconstitu ional or at least doubtful. Take he case of Hon. W. F. Steven on, an acknowledged leader in he House of Representatives, a nan who professes to scrutinize 11 pending legislation, yet the aw he has asked the courts to annul was adopted under his atchful eye, and we have no loubt with his support. He is the attorney for a con 'icted prisoner, but conterding he legislature of which he was force, enacted an unconstitu onal law, he is the first to ftake .dvantage of his own wrong for fee to upset the will of the body f which he is a member. Mr. tevenson is only doing what nany other lawyers will do-the amount of fee is the stimulent. [he point we-desire to stress is hat the electorate should hold ccountabte for their acts those hey send to the -lawmaking )ody, if they find a profession ;macting law which will give hem an opportunity to make ees, they should be careful in naking their choice of Repre entatives. How easily it is for the legal rofession in the legislature to lave our laws so tangled it will ecome an absolute necessity for he supreme court to construe very property transaction nade among the people, this of :urse will mean a stronger hold pon the leg of the client, and itigation necessary and costly. Sow is it today? Nearly every ase of consequence has to run he gauntlet of all of the courts, >erhaps several times, before the nterested parties learn their sights, and then, when crime is ommitted, and the money is fur fished, the flaws in the laws that re enacted under the expert eye )f the lawyers furnish opportun ty for delay and to thwart jus ice. We would not say these law rers go to the legislature with a aurpose to muddle legislation in he interest of their profession, )ut we do say the laws as en cted give opportunity for mon my-making without regard for .he public welfare. JOHNSON SIGNS AL.IEN LAND ACT. Thle despatches of yesterday mnounce that Governor John ;on has signed the California lien land Act which has caused ;e much concern at the National Japitol, and which may yet >rmg on embarassing situations etween this country and Japan. Secretary Bryan as the embassa lr of the President did all in us power to prevent this legis ation but it- was of no avail. The Act was a demand of the people f California, such an Act has een demanded for many years, she general assembly recognized iis and did just what Secretary Bryan advocates, "carry out the 'ishes of the people." In prac ically all of Mr. Bryan's recent speeches he says that Represen atives most obey the mandates )f those who choose them, and whenever a Representative finds ie cannot do so the only honor Lble course left him is to ,resign o give place to one who can. In Jalifornia there is a "yellow eril," the people are opposed o the yellow races owning lands n that State, in ~fact, they are so opposed to them residing 1here, and it was up to their tepresentatives to enact some .aw which will keep aliens from wning the la n d s, therefore, when Secretary Bryan went to Jalifornia his mission was great y hampered by his own position n the duty of a Representative, ~ogether with the ackno Nledged 'ight California had to enact aws for her own protection, pro iding there was nothing in these aws which would abrogate treat What the outcome of this con iroversy will be no one can know; e have no idea it will go any ~arther than a formal protest rom the' government of Japan, nd perhaps taking the question nto the highest court for deter nination as to whether or not reaty rights have been trespass d upon, or Japan may enact re aliatory measures which may :omplicate the business relations >etween the two countries. We 2ave no idea there will any act vhich will bring on an excuse or war, Japan is not financially )reparedt to get into a war with large power, neither is her avy adequate to cope with ours, herefore we believe if the Pres dent and t he Representaive rom Japan cannot settle the ifference by diplomacy the in ~ident will be closed by each side Letting it drop. $100 Reward, $100. h reade of ti pape nillbe pleased t ata sess, d has Cbeen able to cure in alit rtheol poitie cur known the meia isase,reusan covntetutints treant. fylaild ag up the constitution and assisting nature in .oing its work.

LET ALL TAKE A CRACK AT IT. Judging from the number of counties that are preparing to have -eletions on the re-estab lishment of the dispensary, we have about reached the conclus ion that it would be well for the general assembly to fix a time to submit this ever bobbing up question for every county in the State, under the local option stipulation-those counties wish ing dispensaries let them have them, and those wishing Prohi bition the same. In other words the referendum on this question seems to be the only way to sat isfy the people even though they will not stay satisfied. So far as this county is concerned we know )f no urgent demand to re-estab lish the dispensary, neverthe less, there is not a county in the State more in need of the money to repair bridges and to help out the school term. Last year some thing of a demand for an elec tion .was created but the peti tions were not vigorously push ed and failed to get enough sign ers for the supervisor to order the election, not having ordered the election last year, no more elections can be had on the ques tion under the law until after four -years has-expired, the peo ple know this, therefore there is no agitation in this county, but in many counties the Prohibs and the. Dispensarites are leay iug nothing undone to accom plish their respective ends, re sorting to all of the tricks of the political game by attempting to hoodwink the uninformed. One side. appealing on the grounds of morality, the other side on the ground of law and order, and the financial benefit. Both sides make charges, one claims the whiskey trust is -back of those who are urging the dispensary, and that negroes are being reg istered to help them, thereby threatening white supremacy, the other side intimate the mail order concerns are financing the Prohibition party in order to continue their control of the liq nor business. A POLITICAL GAFF. Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet, widow of the late General Long street of Confederate fame, was removed from the office of Post Master at Gainsville, Ga., by the present administration-she car ried her case up to the Senate Committee, but the good lady is only wasting time. The post of fice department has had her suc cessor appointed, and she may as well take her medicine. A post office is a political job, re gardless of the professions of those who control them, and it may as well be known that the jobs go to those the Congress men wish to have them. In Mrs. Longstreet's case there was no complaint of her not giving per sonal attention to the work of the office, but a report was made that her office was badly kept. Mrs. Longstreet declares that during her years of service she brovght the offce up to a high state of efficiency, in this she is endorsed by citizens of the city, and the voluntary evidence of the widow of the late Congress man Felton, a'-former represen tative of the district in which Gainsville is located. As before said, when the government gets ready to call for a commission, matters not byv what influence its action was upon there is only one thing to do, give it up. T women in New Jersey, charg ed with sending through the mails letters threatening Wood row Wilson while he was still Governor a n d the President elect, were convicted in the Uni ted States court on the testimony of a postal officer and President Wilson's Secretary. The maxi mum -sentence is twenty years and a flue of $4,000. It is a dan gerous proceeding to threaten people through the mails; in this case the convicted men wrote Wilson that if he did not accede to a demand for $1,000 and $5,000C they would kill him.

Another hour is given to the dyeing of his lips and the caring for his eyelids and another In practic ing hIs most fascinating smile. He gives the same attention to his wearing apparel. It is of finest broadcloth or velvet and covered with embroidery of heavy gold. Hls arms and chest are left bare to show the splendid polish of his ebony skin.

The sponge crab (Dromia vul garisi is so named because of a trick it has of attaching a sponge to its back, holding It there with its claws until it is firmly fastened. Since the sponge is filled with small needles and gives off a strong odor it protects the crab from many enemies. In return it gets nour ishment from the bits of food left over from the crab's numerous repasts. This peculinr habit of the crab is shown by the behavior of a young spider crab at the New York aquarium. When placed in a tank that contained many small orange colored sea anemones the crab Immediately discarded the scraps of seaweed with which it was covered and adorned itself with the gayly colored anemones.

FORESTS AND HYGIENE. The Value of Trees From the Stand point of Human Health. We hear much of the importance o1 the conservation of forests from at economic standpoint, but little Is said as to the bygienic value of forests. Forests contribute to the general health by breaking the force of steadi ly blowing winds. They mitigate the heat of summer by the vast amount o evaporation from their leaves that oc curs by day. They also promote rain falls. Thus they check the tendenc3 of the earth 'to desiccate, which is*al most as Injurious to health as it is t< vegetation.
