FORT MILL. S. C.. FEBRUARY 17. 1910.
In most sections of the State
chicken-fighting is looked upon
as a violation of the law?there
being a statute prohibiting the
"sport"-but the game goes
merrily on in this township.
Chicken-fighting, though, isn't
much more obnoxious than the
presence of blind tigers, and
since the governor has refused
to act upon the petition of the
mayor of this city to send constables
here to break up the
traffic of the latter class of law
ravishers, there are those who
justify these cocking mains because
of the governor's indifference
to the operation of the liquor
joints. But we are progressing,
nevertheless and all the same,
ana it is aoubtful whether a
negro detected in raiding a henroost
could escape the heavy
hand of the law.
The Democratic party of South
Carolina cannot afford to continue
in the office of State chairman
a man accused of grafting.
General Wilie Jones should send
in his resignation. If he does
not do it, then the State executive
committee should meet and elect I
another chairman. Speaking of j
General Jones, it jls not without j
interest to recall that on the,
front of the bank over which he ;
presides there was displayed the
only large picture of President
Taft to be seen on any of the
Main street buildings in Columbia
during the week in which the
president visited Columbia last
fall. Looked good for the
Democratic chairman to thus
testify to his admiration for a
Republican president!
President Taft made a speech
in New York city Saturday night
in which he pointed out the preelection
promises of the Republican
party to revise the tariff
and said that they had revised
it. Certainly the tariff has been
revised?in the interest of the,
trusts. There #vill be some more >
revising next fall when the peo- \
pie get a swipe at the hypocrites
who have betrayed them.
f
In the recent election for a successor
to Congressman De Armond,
the Missouri Democrats
showed the Republicans a thing
or two by electing Mr. Dickinson
by double the majority usually
given the party nominee. This
is but a precursor of what will be
done generally in the congressional
elections next fall. The
price of meat and sundry other
things is too high.
If the people of South Carolina
have to go to hell for permitting
the passage of the statute allow
ing the father to deed to a thirtf
party his children against the
mother's wishes, we may confidently
expect to make the acquaintance
of all North Carolinians
down there the Old North
State has a similar law.
If anybody should drive up in
a one-horse wagon and jump out
and then ask you about it, take
it from this paper that the people
of South Carolina will have
little reason to regret the adjournment
of the Legislature.
