THURSDAY, APRILS, 1S14.
It is rather singular that the
leaders in the national House of
Representatives should have
made so mucfy, ado over a matter
of as little relative importance as
the bill repealing the free tolls
provision of the Panama Canal
Act for the passage through the
canal of American owned ships
engaged in coastwide trade. As
we see the matter, no momentous
question was involved.
President Wilson nrny be right
in the contention that the repeal
bill should pass if for no other
reason than that it is violative
or the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
with great Britain, but this
opinion is not held by many of
the most prominent members of
Congress. So far as economic
reasons are concerned, the average
citizen has little ground for
concern over the bill one way or
the other. Unquestionably the
free tolls provision is in the
nature of a ship subsidy, while
him that ho is recognized by tin
city paper only in so far as his
individual dollar goes, and thai
he and all his individual inter
ests are completely ignored.
The Hampton Guardian seems
(,? he perturbed over the estah
lishment of another paper ir
that county, The Herald, ai
list ill. No cause lor worry,
brother. In York county then
are six newspapers one daily
four semi-weeklies and a weekly,
Hut. then, this in in York, th?
best county in South Carolina.
Men and wolves are now aboui
the only game unprotected bj
law.
its repeal will amount to about
the same thing for some of the
great transcontinental railways.
No unbiased opinion, however,
refuses to give the president
credit for sincerity in advocating
the repeal. In the same degree
sincerity actuated the Democratic
members of the House who
followed the letter of the Haitimore
platform rather than the
will of the President. We have
not reached the day when part.v
platforms count for naught and
the right thing to do is to disregard
them. The Congressmar
from this particular district,
Mr. Finley, was one of the fiftyodd
Democrats who stood by the
party platform instead of following
the lead of the Presidenl
away from it. We have little
respect for or patience with the
opinion of the man who think*
that Mr. Finley was remiss ir
his duty when he voted againsl
the wishes of the President.
The Timeg^never insists upor
sending the paper to a man whe
makes complaint of tlie price
because he can get a semi-weekh
paper from some distant city a1
$1.00 per year or less. We con
sider it a personal privilege ol
cverv man to subsei ibe to anv
nil or none of the newspapers, a:
he sees tit. At the same tinn
we feel a sympathy for the mar
whose vision is so clouded as t(
cause him to think that the cit\
semi-wceklv is worth more t(
him at $1.00 per year than his
home weekly paper is at $1.00 01
more per year. Perhaps such i
man has not stopped to ask him
self the question of how mucl
the city paper has done for his
locality in speaking: a good wore
for it: whether the citv papei
had ever mentioned what he am
his friends were doing to inv
prove conditions in their locality
or whether it had ever mentionec
the fact that he or his frienc
were sick or dying. In short
it probably had not occurred t<
A few days ago a gentleman
who had been a subscriber to
The Times for a dozen years or
more came into this office, paid
his subscription up to date and
ordered his paper stopped. Not
that he- cUdR^t Jike - the paper or
the publisher, he said, but he
had been approached some days
1 p 1 1*_*. ? J *1..
oeiore oy a solicitor lor a uany
paper which sent out a semi- i
weekly edition at the rate of
$1.00 per year. We. of course,
replied with his request and removed
his name from the mail
list. Two weeks elapsed and
; this same man's daughter stopped
the publisher on the street and
inquired the reason why The
I Times had failed to reach her
home for two weeks. She was
tol^l that the paper was discontinued
at her father's request.
That the young lady became
highly indignant at her father's
act was apparent. She stated
that she had read four issues of
the city semi-weekly and had
not found one item relating to
i persons she knew, and very little
concerning matters in which she
' or the other members of the
family were interested. This
The Times man considered as
complimentary to the home
paper, and when the young lady
reached for her purse and handed
j over $1.25 for a year's sub;
scription, with the admonition
that when the time expired she
| would renew, our joy knew no
bounds, for we felt that we had
discovered a friend indeed.
Lend your aid to the boys in
the present clean-up campaign.
Do you realize that one pile of
garbage left undisturbed until

place for thousands of ilies
that can carry millions of dis,

j A few disease germs properly
,' placed by a dirty fly can cause
illness which nets the doctor,
1 the hospital and possibly the
undertaker a big sum. A little
effort right away on the part of
housekeepers will prevent such a
condition. Insanitation is ex,
pensive, all right, but some
people fail to realize it. even
. i when the proof is so conclusive.

I season at Easter lies the hope of
the soul, the augmenting cer!

this ciuestion. It is one of the
oldest questions. In the morn,1

Egypt and the plains of Chaldea,

BROWNING FOR GOVERN RI
(Continued from Page 1.)
because he is a "good fellow,"
or a congenial companion, but
because the legislation which he
advocates would be of great
benefit to the people pf our.?tate.
Therefore, he wants the people
to be informed, and have ample
time to digest these matters, so
j that they can vote intelligently
at the primary.
He believes in honest election.
He does not care particularly how
this is brought about, so that
every white Democrat can vote
in our primary. He does believe
that such restrictions should be
thrown around the primary, as
; will prevent dead men, radicals,
; Bull Mooses and residents of
other States, naming the standard
bearers of the democracy of
o 1.1. n 1
ouuin Carolina.
He is in favor of a thorough
reform of our school laws, so
that it shall become the duty of
the State, and not of the various
counties, to educate the children
of the State. It is contrary to
all public policy, that negro children
in one county shall receive
more per capita for their education
than white children of
another county, as is now the
case. All are the children of the
1 State of South Carolina, and not
of any specific county: therefore,
it is the duty of the State to see
that each child has an equal
opportunity to obtain a common
school education.
He is in favor of a thorough
reform of our taxing department,
so that the burdens of government
will fall on those most able
to bear it and who receive the
greatest benefit from it. As at
present organized, the taxing
department of our government
expends its greatest energy
placing every mangy pig, lousy
calf, bankrupt stock of goods,
and an nan worn nousenom and
kilchen furniture, on the tax
books, while many just sources
of revenue are left untouched.
In other words, under our
j present tax laws, our tax of|
ficials are, with devoted zeal,
catching the measly revenues
that drip from the spigot, while
1 the bung is left wide open, and
I just revenues that should enrich
the coffers of the State, are allowed
to flow into the pockets of
private individuals and corporations.
He believes that our land-holdings
in this State are entirely
too large, and that for the
greatest development and prosi
perity of our State, we should
| have a large increase of white
citizens who own their homes.
He feels that he knows the
! necessary legislation to bring
I this about, and in the campaign
this summer, will develop this
! idea.
He also believes that our present
laws in regard to land titles
work a great hardship on the
owner, when he wishes to
hypothecate his lands to borrow
money. He is in favor of adopting
the Torrens System of land
, registration as rapidly as the
i needs of the people require.
The^e are a number of other
I reforms of minor importance,
that would be of benefit to our
State, and these he will also
bring to the attention of the
people during the qnmpaign.
In closing this brief sketch it
is not amiss to say that Mr.

personality, loyal to his friends
and considerate of all. He is,
nevertheless, a man of strong
character and great determination.
He will make himself felt

summer. Adv.
