THURSDAY. JAN, 22, 1920.
Duty of the Legislature.
For one time at least, the new$paoers
of South Carolina are
almost one in expressing; the
hope that the Legislature will
reject the woman suffrage
amendment to the Federal constitution.
They see in it the
dqaj danger of interference from
Washington with the election
lawre of the State and the projection
into our politics of a
class of peoples heretofore content
to allow the, dominant race
to attend to the selection of our
public officials and to write the
State laws under which we must
live. If there is doubt as to the
seriousness of the situation
which npvv confronts the people
of South Carolina, let those w ho
are inclined to view this matter
as one worthy of passing interest
only acquaint themselves
witn couuiuonsjnai ontamed in
South Carolina during the years j
closely following the Civil war
when our elections were con-1
trolled by the Federal govern- j
ment. It costs little to say, as 1
many perhaps have said, that
regardless of Washington, hell
or the devil, this State belongs
to the white people and they
purpose to continue directing its
affairs as tney have done for the
last 40 years even should the
Susan B. Anthohy amendment
be ratified. Such remarks are
not meant to be taken seriously,
for no man whose opinion is
worth listening to is quite stupid
enough to believe that South
. . Carolina can nullify a provision
of the Federal constitution, however
harmful to the Slate that
provision may be. Soour people
had, as well make up their nind
first as last to accept radically
changed conditions if this amendment
to the Federal constitution
is ratified. II. there ever was
presented to the Legislature of
South Carolina a proposition on
which there should be unanimity
of opinion it is with respect to
the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
What other States do
with the., amendment and regardless
of whether it is urged
by high or low Federal official,
the people of South Carolina expect
the men they have sent to
the Legislature to stand together
! against this usurpation of the
State's right to control its election
laws. So far as the white
women of South Carolina are
concerned, not one in twenty
wants to vote.
Suggests County Court
^Yorkville Enquirer.
> The Yorkvilie Enquirer has for
years believed in the idea of
establishing a county court in
York county. We think thai I
''such a court could more efficiently
and satisfactorily handle all
cases that now come within the
jurisdiction of frmgistrates, and
its jurisdiction might very well
be extended considerably beyond
that now accorded to magistrates.
It would relieve the circuit
court of much of the business
that now takes up much of
its time. The magistrates, all or
.. some of them, could be retained
as committing officers only. The*
saving of cost from the magisterial
system on the one hand
. and fro/n the circuit court on the
other should permit the establishment
of a county court without
additional expense on the!
taxpayers. But we cannot see
where any good to anybody can .
be brought about by the estub- i
* lishment of a county court with '
jurisdiction over onlv a nart of
t he county. The county is not
large enough, in our opinion, to
warrant the maintenance of tvvp
or more such courts.
Opposes New Court.
- Editor The Times:
Please alfow me space in The,
L Times to express an opinion
k relative to the proposition tvhich
A has recently been made to esn
tabliah a new court in York'
county to try cases arising in J
HBM|Catawba. Fort Mill and Ebenetownships.
'As 1 understand
Necessity of a court houae would
rise, involving, ot course, the
expenditure of many thousand
dollars. Already the county ia
dollar court house,- built a few
years "ago, and this riew court
would mean the practical abandonment
- of that building by
Catawba, Fort Mill and Ebeutzer
townships, though they
wouid still be called upon to help
pay for it. It seems to me that
this is a matter in which the entire
county is interested and I
hope the York county membere
of the Legislature will pass it
over for the present and allow it)
to become an issue in the cam- j
paign nexf summer.

Municipal Candidates Announce.
Following the announcement
made Tuesday by Mr. L. A.
Harris that he would not be a
candidate for mayor of Fort
Mill in the approaching election,
a mass meeting of citizens was
held Tuesday evening in the
Masonic hall in which a committee
of six representative
citizens offered the name of Mr.
F. K. Ardrey as a candidate for
the place and the meeting
pledged almost unanimously to
support Mr. Ardrey. Other
candidates who had announced
