From time immemorial a vast majority of the people of South Carolina have observed the. Sabbath as becomes a Christian, Cod-fearing peonle; but recently in certain sections of the State there has appeared an inclination to drift aivay from the long established custom to "remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." This fact led a number of the Protestant ministers of Columbia to preach special sermons last Sunday on "Sabbath Observance." And at the very hour these sermons were being delivered there occurred in the f city of Charleston a series of incidents sadly profaning and desecrating the day in a way heretofore unknown in this State. It is a deplorable commentary upon our Christian civilization that these breaches of Sabbath observance should have been incident to the entertainment of the soon-to-be president of the United States. Not only was the day spent in flagrant disregard of the Sabbath by the Taft party and those who entertained it. but to add to the offense against the command of Cod and the moral and spiritual welfare of our own people we see the South Carolina commissioner of agriculture at the head of a delegation of representatives from the Farmers' Union urging the president-elect to retain in his cabinet a certain gentleman who now holds a portfolio in the Roosevelt cabinet. It is vastly more important to the people of South Carolina that there should be no entering wedge against the strict observance of the Sabbath which our people have always practiced than that this man should be appointed to a political office. As for the part that Judge Taft took in this profanation of the Sabbath, there is nothing to occasion surprise. He is a member of the Unitarian church, which church imposes no obligation of Sabbath observance upon its members, nor even acknowledges the divinity of Christ. It is extremely unfortunate that a man of any such religious beliefs, or disbeliefs, should have been elected to the great office of president of the United States, and one cannot refrain from contrasting the Christian character of William J. Bryan and the befogged allegiance which Judge "Taft acknowledges to his Maker. THE MILEAGE CONTENTION. Spnntnr drnvdrin r\f AM-mvilla -county has introduced in the State Senate a bill providing that the railroads shall not require the exchange of mileage for tickets. Such a law would be in the interest particularly of the commercial travelers of the State, the claim being set up that the present requirement works a hardship upon them. This matter was touched upon in the message of Governor Ansel to the legislature, but the governor very ingeniously refrained from suggesting what, if any, legislation should be enacted upon the subject. There can be no gainsaying that the method of exchange is somewhat cumbersome and results in more or less inconvenience to those who use mileage books, but in view of the fact that mileage books are sold at a lower rate than straight tickets it would seem only fair to the railroads that this consideration should be taken into flp.rnnnt. in dpfrprmininor tho ter. There is also another phase of the matter which should receive consideration. The LegisJature should not pass a law which would impair the revenue which the railroads justly earn And to which they are entitled. It is a notorious fact that before the agreement was reached requiring the exchange of mileage for tickets the railroad companies operating in this State ?nd using the old system were the victims of peculations that ia the aggregate amounted to thousands of dollars annually. JAPANESE IMMIGRATION. I ? The California Legislature is this week wrestling with a measure designed to restrict Japanese immigration to that State, and notwithstanding the intermeddling of President Roosevelt in the affairs of the California people, there is an excellent prospect of anti-alien legislation being enacted. We unhesitatingi Iv accept the reasons for this proposed legislation?that the presence of the% Japanese in large numbers in California is a menace to the State. They are~ ronrooon' oa o t?inirtno t v|/i vovuv^vi uo lb v JVIV/UO^ 1UL 11~ erous. unmoral (mark the word) i class of people who are not fit to associate with Caucasians, and | the the people of California very properly object to their presence. Furthermore, the Legislature of California ought to be able to decide what is best for that State without any interference from Washington. We trust that just such an anti-alien law as is I proposed will be passed and that j not one of these slant-eyed Jap pagans who is outside the law will be allowed to set his foot in ! California. If extreme measures i are not taken to restrict the coming of the Japs, in a fewyears they will overrun the whole countryrto the irreparable injury of the American workmen and the moral ruin of those who will be forced by circumstances to associate w ith them. The Times would commend the careful reading of the proposed road law of Senator Stewart for York county, which is published in full elsewhere in these col; umns. This matter of a good foadk law for York county was the principal issue in the campaign last summer and is, therefore, of great interest to the peo ' pie of the county. Senator Stewart seems to have given his bill much intelligent thought and we doubt not that if it becomes a inw and its provisions are closely I followed that it will prove infinitely better than the present road law of the county. It is to be regretted, however, that there is dissension in the York legislative delegation as to the advisability of having the bill : enacted into law without imI portant amendments. It is said that Messrs. Wilson and Hollis will oppose the bill in its present form, but that it will be supported by Messrs. Glasscock and San1 ders. In the interest of their constituents, these gentlemen should reach an agreement and not go into the legislative halls a house divided against itself. By patronizing home merchants you are rewarded by ali ways having good enterprising merchants at home. Patrnnizp : them and they will benefit you ! in more ways than one. You are rewarded by seeing your patron| age and the patronage of your influence in building up and fnain; taining your own town; patronize home merchants, home industry and home enterprise of all kinds in preference to those of any place. Spend your money at | home with people who have interest in your town. By doing this the town is kept up, property is made more valuable, conveniences are enlarged and op| portunities for financial improvements are opened. Let those who insist that prosperity is rampant throughout the j country ponder the statement sent out fror^ New York city by the Associated Press Sunday night that the number of idle freight cars in America is as great as it was at the deuth of the business depression last summer. The "Prosperity Special" seems to have encountered a stretch of greased track and in consequence is parked indefinitely on "Hard Times Siding." When it will pull-out, the Lord only knows. ! Two prominent Georgia citizens engaged in a street duel. One barricaded himself behind a mule and succeeded in killing ! his antagonist, but in the exchange of shots the mule also lost his life. We are sorry for the mule. Many a man wants more vim in his home paper, when at the same time he is carrying a few dollar's worth of its vim in his pocket. * jyy *- '?-1 E K \ v* 0 1 s' Mr. Stewart's Public Road Bill.
