UFROLD THE LAW. The Webb-Kenyon Act of con gress is now before the United States supreme court, and we hope that tribunal will consider the case dhr its merits. and render a decision which will be final. If congress has the power to dele gate to the several states the right to control interstate comn merce it should be made clear so the people may be able to govern themselves accordingly; 'as it is, a large portion of the legal pro fession think the law is absc-. lutely unconstitutional, while others of that profession think to the contrary, it is therefore difficult for the masses to know just what is or is not the law. If the highesb tribunal decrees in favor of the Act it -will bolster up the laws of several states whih have adopted the limited quan tity policy of prohibition. South Carolina has said to its citizens it shall be unlawful to receive more than one gallon per month. many think the state has no such power-, and notwithstand ing it is law, until the courts de cree otherwise, there is a feeling of uncertainty about it, and it should be tested. However, if the Act of congress now before the United States supreme court is decided in favor of those who question the power of congress to delegate such power to the states as the Webb-Keniyon Act gives, then it seems to us. lay man though we be, the whole structure of liquor regulation falls, except it be the power of states to forbid the manufacture and sale of liquor within its borders; it is conceded that states have this right. but it is questionable if they have the right to interfere with shipments or Spring a Y AN rhames, in c: studying ti mid inspect a k~nown.

Every detai] from without the state unless it can be proven the shipments from without the state are for an unlawful purpose. While the one gallon per month law is on the statute books. or until the courts say it is in. valid, it should be er.forced to the letter, and we trust that it will be in every community where the majority sentiment is opposed to lawlesness. It is nut every man who is opposed to prohibition, whether the same be absolute or -partial. who favors defiance o 1 1 a w because the law is obnoxious to him, or that it is,:iu his opinion, an invasion of his personal rights; if he is a good citizen he will not encourage violations of the law, but will submit to it until the proper authorities say it is not law. One of the present difficulties is that individuals would set them selves up as authority, such individuals may be sustained by our courts, but until they are sustained, and go ahead violating the law they are not a whit bet ter citizens than any other vio lator whether it be a blmnd tiger, gambler or -what not. Law is law, and every good , citizen should uphold it. SHERIFFS ARE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, SAME AS GOVERNOR. Governor Manning is doing his level best to carry ou; his premises of law enforcement. but if he hopes to force Sheriffs to becomxe detectives we fear he will be disappointed. A Sheriff is a bonded officer elected by the people as provided by the con stitution, the statutes fixes his duty; we do not think, the law contemplates a Sheriff going about in the capacity of detec tive, but it does expect, and it demands of him to execute war rants and processes whenever they are placed in his hands by the proper officers. We doubt seriously if a Sheriff has the pow er to make an arrest without a warrant, unless for violations of law are committed in his sight, or in a case of a felony, the per petrator of the crime is attempt ing to make an escape. It would be a dangerous authority to place in the hands of an offcer, toper mit him to indiscriminately make arrests without a warrant hav ing been sworn out.

We believe -the Sheriffs throughout the State will gladly co-operate with Governor Man ning in the matter of law en forcemnent so--far as their con stitutional and statutory powers go, but when it comes to requir ing them to exercise powers no't contemplated by the fuqdamen tal law, they are liable to hesi tate, lest they'subject themselves to legal entanglements. A CAMEL MAY PASS THROUGH THE EYE ' OF A NEEDLE. Last week ac.,ording to the dispatches from abroad was German week, but so far this week the Aliiss are at the bat with the British and Fren',h nav al guns battering away in an attempt to get through the Dardanelles. When the allied nleet begar' operations to cap ture Constantinople it looke~d as if there was nothing to do but knock down the outer forts and walk right in, the straits were, narrow it is true, but the power fual guns of the fleet and the ac tive work of tbe trawlers made it a matter of double certainty for constantinople to be in the hands of the allies in a short time,nowhowever the picture has changed, and the world is con vinced that there is nothing so uncertain as a war report (fi-om London or Pet'rograd, and that the .fieet now bombarding in Trurkish waters find it "a long, long way to the Sultan's harem-' CHICKENS COME MOME TO ROOST. Ex-Governor John Gary Ev ans recently a candidate for the judgeship created by our con gressional trust, has learned with sorrow what it is to be a victim of false representation. Wheu the Act passed providing for a new judicial district in this State. our delegation immediate ly got together and doled out the jobs without waiting to give the home folks an oppor tunity to set up their claims, but notwithstanding this, it was thought that on account of the great friendship bet ween Sena tor Tillman and John Gary Ev ans, that Tillman would grasp this opportunity to reward Jag gery for his faithfulnae, to be Shown DRE, DAY.i fillinery Depa I is prepared t R SHO] asses well and t mere man not er dress.

Beforefl Jaggery became a political has- h been he was no angel either. The neutrality of the United States cannot be questioned any ii longer, do not the press dis patches report a large number h of ships loading dissembled tb parts of submarines, guns, horsw es, and foodstuffs for England at the wharves in New York? Certainly the United States is neutral, and why not? Is not the money from England good to look upon, even to.>' it makes the cost of living high in this coun try. What boots it if the spec- B ulators take advantage of the present conditions to sap the B3 commercial life-biood out of the producers of wealth-the cotton 10 farmer of the South? He can hew and draw right on, make er another crop this year, and if da conditions remaiai th~e same his toil can also be offered up as a sacrifice to insatiate greed. tr When Governor Manning ex pressed his disapproval of ap- c phcants for office~he hit the nail square on the head, especially his reference to those who could oil not wait for asick officer to die be li fore they were making inquires av "in case a -vacancy occurs." The ' governor was not permitted to an select his personal military stall without having had before him I' a number of applications for the t honor-such is the craving for oi public place that the comnmoa proprieties of life are not re spected. It would be interest ing if Governor Manning would give to the press the names of those who applied to him for plcso is staff, andJ also th do names of those who conferred ter or communicated with him with "U regard to an office they thought tho or hoped would be made vacantbin by death. hi We judge from what the govern or said abhont this mathter, he a at THE NE rtment, has o show the is up-to-date: ices the way Lie saying isbt .for the fashi Scan acconr Sof the arch: 3 is given atti ave no consideration to appli i.nts for staff appointments; and lose who~ communicated with im about a possible vacancy, irely did not find favor with io, and properly so.
