FEB. 19. 1920. | No one perhaps regrets moi 1 than President Wilson himse the circumstances which promp ed him to request the resignatic ^ . of Secretary Lansing. Mr. Lai f* sing filled the post of secretai of state with distinguished abilit and his retirement from th cabinet creates a vacancy to fi which with a man of equal a tainments will require the exe cise of much discrimination. Bt . With ^all his ability, Lansin showed inexcusable weaknei when he imagined he could bio hot and cold with the presiden 'when he thought he could "g< away" with his effort to usui the president's prerogative t calling cabinet meetings durin the president's illness last yea He should have voluntarily r< signed some time ago when 1 found his views did not accoi with those of the president an saved himself the humiliatic of being forced out of offic* President Wilson is hard to mi lead, as Lansing and others no know to their sorrow. Di loyalty is one of the things sui to lead up to the undoing of tl official who attempts it on tl president. Man cannot live without foo< air is no more essential to h wellbeing. If it be admitte that this is a fact, will it n< also be admitted that all men c not find it necessary to eat i the same time and that it unreasonable to expect them 1 do so? No sane man is apt 1 rise up and ask to be quoted I the contrary.

May Lengthen Hunting Season. South Carolina sportsmen ma get some more time for hunting if the legislature passes the garr b|H now on the calendars. Th mea8nre has been passed by th House and \yill likely get to th Senate for consideration th Week. The bill would postpone th opening and closing dates of th South Carolina hunting seaso for one month, making Marc l?th instead of February 15t the closing date for huntin qaail. The season would ope Thanksgiving Day. If the bill passes within th next week or ten days and i signed by the governor, it wi allow hunting again between th date on which the governc signs the act and the 15th c March. Sportsmen among th legislators are anxious to see th bill become an act. The above measure was passe yesterday and signed by th governor, extending the huntin season until March 15. < tithing Campaign for Presbyterians The Southern Presbyteriai church will seek to enroll 100,00 tithers?men and women wh< pledge themselves to give one tenth of their income to Christiai causes?on Sunday, February 22 The gigantic movement wa launched at campaign head quarters in Chattanooga las Every Presbyterian churcl irffi have a a pedal program ar ranged for February 22, and ser irions of the pjStors will dea principally with tithing.

L. \ Spratt, L. A. Harris and N L. i Carothers, for the expenditure of the proceeds thereo4', and ? names A. L. Parks secretary to j the commission. The commls- < sioners are to receive no salary i for their services, but the secre- 1 tarv is to be paid $200 annually. ' This bill is independent of the , M action, of the town council of i Fort Mill which at a recent 1 ^ session ordered an election to 1 j it provide for a similar bond issue. | It is now understood that town i council will take no further steps 1 in the matter, but will rely upon ; ? the commission to be created by J _ the bill in the Legislature to im- < " prove the streets of the town. _ At an informal meeting of the ' proposed commissioners a day or j "e two ago it was agreed that the I If election on the bond issue will 1 t- be held at the earliest practica- 1 m ble date, taking into account the j law requiring the necessity of ; 1_ giving every citizen of the town ; *y an opportunity to secure both a y county and municipal registra- , ie tion certificate. Every provision , j] of the general election laws will 1 be rigidly observed in the bond l~ election. r_ Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the bill it are as follows: I |l? * "After the approval of this act said K commission Bhall submit to the qualified 38 electors, after Riving at least three i w weekB' notice thereof in some news- i !
