THURSDAY. MAY 20. 1920.
The death in Winnipeg, Canada, Sunday
night of ex-Governor Robert B.
Glenn of North Carolina brought to an
end the life of a man who had done
much to promote better citizenship and
a higher order of living not only in his
own State but in muny other States.
Governor Glenn was a staunch champiiui
of prohibition who traveled much
in behalf of the cause and being a strong
speaker was able to impress his views
upon others. He was also a Democrat
of national prominence. He was a
classmate of President Wilson at the
University of Virginia and in the campaign
of 1910 crossed the continent in a
speechmaking tour urging the reelection
of Mr. Wilson.
A news story published in the press
within the lust two or three days informs
the public that the military department
of the Stute government has
arranged to hold the annual encampment
of the State troops at Mount
riensant, near Charleston. The thing
that will strike the average citizen as
peculiar about this encampment is that
it will be un encampment minus troops,
for there are not a handful of men enlisted
in the military organization ol
South Carolina. It is about time for
the people of South Carolina to call a
halt to this useless and expensive opera
boutFe. got up largely to afford somebody
the opportunity to strut around
in the uniform of an officer and order
his betters about.
Down in Mexico things have not been
breaking so well recently for old man
Carranza and his chief lieutenants in
the autocratic government they have
been able to maintain for several years
by military force, the press dispatches
a day or two ago announcing that all
the members of the Carranza cabinet
had been captured by the revolutionists
and sent to Mexico City and that Car
runzu himself wmf trusting to the length
of his legs to reucli the mountain fastnesses
in an effort to save his bacon.
All of which makes interesting reading
in these days of profiteering by the
print paper mills and paper jobbers,
bill there is no reason why it should be
of special concern to this country?cer
' tainly not to the extent of the United
States becoming embroiled in the row.
If the Mexicans prefer to slit each
other's throat or to pump lead one into
the other, it's us plun as the whiskers
on Carranza's face that that's their
business. Conditions in Mexico today
are little if any worse than they have
been for the last decade. Always down
there it is a case of the outs trying to
get in and the ins busying themselves
to keep from being put out. The Mexicans
are all of a kidney, and nobody
has yet discovered a process bv which
material for a silk purse can be made
from a sow's ear. The only excuse the
United States could have for interf* r
ing in behalf of either faction in Mexico
1.1 I- _ A - - ? A. *1 - - *
wikiiii ui print'i'i me properly 01 her
nationals in that country which would
be worse than no excuse at all. Americans
who have invested money in Mexico
did so with their eves open, taking
the gambler's chance. If they were
too stupid too see that it was a land of
highbinders, they are to be pitied, hut
it is too much to expect the lives of
American soldiers to be sacrificed to
save them from financial loss. At best
Mexico is a bad country. 1h? troul I
is, the people are of the wrong sort to
reach the standards of civilization attained
by the people of this country.
School Bond Offers Rejected.
Since the $*2ti,(H)P school bond issue
was approved by the voters of the Fort
Mill district a few weeks ago, the latard
of trustees have received two or three
offers for the bonds, but none of these
was satisfactory and all have been re- i
jected. Notwithstanding the failure to
sell the bonds, however, the trustees
purpose to go ahead with the enlargement
of the school building, having arranged
to secure otherwise the necessary
funds, which will be repaid when (
the bonds are finally sold.

THE OLD STATE ROAD
A motor trip from Charleston to | I
Columbia over the old State road for j 1
the first time is a revelation to the t 1
up-country man. The distance is a 1
little less than by rail and one passes j
through Charleston, Dorchester, Berkeley,
Orangeburg, Calhoun and Lex- t
ington counties, thence into Richland ,
county to the capital city. For miles >
and miles, "as far as the eye can reach," <
the road is as straight as a tout string. <
In many places, especially in the Holly
Hill section, the road is in bad shaDe. 1
Numerous causeways in Orangeburg '
county are in dangerous condition and
should be repaired at once, if for no
other reason than to save the county |
the possibility of damage suits: ,
One gets very much closer to nature i
in the low-country than is possible in i
most of the up-country. Much of the
low-country is yet primeval and is apt '
to r^mnin nnHftvolon*iH nt.l/iuo '
national government comes to the
assistance of the State by putting
through large drainage projects, which ,
would cause the country to blossom .
like a rose, for much of the soil is as i
fertile as that of the Mississippi delta i
and the climate is everything that
man could wish for. As it is, the
white people of most of the counties
through which the old State road
runs are vastly outnumbered by the j
negroes. The white people find it hard
to withstand the malaria transmitted
through the bite of the mosquito,
which breeds by the million in the
stagnant pools. ('onsquently most of
these people lack the energy to improve
conditions. Many little boys
and girls, as well as their elders, have
sallow complexions that remind one of
an overripe pumpkin.
The lack of school facilities also is
loticeable in the country districts of
he low-country and the people have
less comfortable houses to live in than
the people of this section. But it isn't
hese things that so much impress
the up-cquntryman. His mind dwell
nost on the beauty of the immediate
nvironment of the old State road,
for mile after mile the road is bordered
in either side by moss-covered trees
vhose brunches almost meet, forming
i delightful, picturesque driveway that
is both enchanting to the eye and refreshing
to the body.

SENATOR DIAL DISCUSSES
THE COMER AMENDMENT
Washington. May 17.?Senator Dial, of j
South Carolina, today in the senate took >
r>c<asion to make a few interesting ob- !
?ervations regarding the Comer amend- )
inent which was rejected by the confer- 1
cnces on the agricultural appropriation j
hill. He said: "I desire to say that I reirrct
very much that the conferences did '
lot ajiree on what is known as the Coiner |
amendment. There is no reason in the
world why there should lie a difference
i>f two iH'nts a pound between the actual
cotton und the future market.
"By reason of the fact that under
tin* law tlu* seller lias the right to ten
ler any of the ten unities it keeps down
he priee so that the operation is simply
t millstone around the neek of cotton. <
i\'hile it may not he possible to get this
cristation now. I hope the day will soon
oine. and I believe it will come shortly,
alien the people, even in the south, the
members of Congress from the south,
ivill better understand the theory of
I his amendment and some law will lie
I'liucted.
"It ought to he so the future market
uul the spot market shall go along to- ,
jetlier and then the only dilTerenee
here ought to be from one month to
mother would lie the additional carrying
charges. We lose millions an- j
malty by unfair dealings."
