Tho Columbia State gives Its readers
a sample of highbrow Information
In the way It spells tho name of
tho doposcd king of tho Oroeks, ConHtnntlno.
whn trnatrwl to (ho Innu(h nf
his Ickb rather than to the loyalty of
his people when he hurriedly betook
himself to Switzerland one tine duy
In the sprint? of 1917, In response to
the demand of the allies that ho quit
the Joh of being: king. "Konstantlnoa''
The Stnto has It. Wonder If
that's the way they spoil It up In
I?aurens county.
Terence McSwlney, lord mayor of
Cork, succumbed to his Bolf-imposed
hunger strike Monday, af .ot* having.
gono without food for 70 odd days,
Is Is claimed. In Ireland McSwlney
Is looked upon as a martyr and may
bo canonised. In this country many
look vpon lila denth a* : plain oa-h
of sulcldo and tho coun?iv Is apt
to noon forget him. Most grownups
In this country lost Interest in McNwlnoy
"sonic time ngo, hut the newspapers
were justified In publishing
the dally bulletins from the Jail In
which he was confined because It
furnished the school hoys and girls
a subject for speculation.
Somo people evidently have not yet
/ waked up to the fact that war profiteering
nnd good stealing nre going
out of fashion. A shoe denier advertises
In a daily paper which circulates
In this section men's shoes at
$20 per pair. The South Carolinian
who will pay $20 for a pair of shoes
with cotton selling at a price below
the cost of production, ought to
be detained by tho authorities for
mental inspection. And the dealer
who would charge nn unreasonable
profit on shoes or any other article of
human consumption oiiRht to he put
in Jail for gouging.
Willie Hays, young flamboyant
blowhard manager of the Republican
campaign, is expected to issue a preejectton
boast next Saturday night,
so that the weak-minded may hiivo
all daj' Sunday for It to soak In,
k claiming everything in sight and then
some more for the old granny his
party has nominated for the presidency.
Such boasting will influenco
those who wish to bo Influenced by
It. Democratic Chairman White also
is expected to Issue a statement Saturday
in which he likely will say
that the forces of right await the outcome
of the election with confidence
in the good sense of the American
people.
McAdoo is nil right. Palmer is all
right as are the other big Democrats
who wero put up at Snn Francisco
for tho Democratic nomlnatlor but
''not one of them could have ma ie the
heroic fight Oox has made for as
or trumpet proclaimed. This paper
I* confident that tho patriotism of
tho American people has been nroimed
to tho extent that Governor Cox
will he triumphantly elected; ;but
should tho campaign of lying, debauchery,
misrepresentation, deceit
and cowat-lly attaok upon him be
successful, we predict that ho will be
tho Democratic nominee four years
hence, when the country will have
so tired of the mongrel government
that tho election of Harding assured
he will be overwhelmingly elected.
The Frtrt Mill Times looks back with
pride to the fact that it was the first
and only South Carolina newspaper
that urged Governor Cox's nomination
prior to the San Francisco convention.
The editor of the Fort Mill Times
first became acquainted with the polltics
of the Washington Star more
than a quarter of n century hro. The
Washington Star of thnt far clay was '
Republican ns the Washington Star
of today Is. What that paper says
therefore nhout the presidential race
Is from the Republican point of vievr
and for that reason should not he
disquieting to Democrats. Recently
The Star has been selling to various
newspapers, nmong the number the
C'hnrlotto observer, a weekly syndicated
letter purporting to he an Impartial
review of the contest between
Oovernor Cox and Senator Harding.
As a fact, however, tho letter Is anything
but Impartial and the mcui who
reads It and Imagines he Is getting
an unbiased report of the political
situation ought to pinch himself to
learn whether ho Is still nwnke. The
Star Ih for Harding for president and
Its preference for the Republican
candidate Is reflected In Its syndicated
letter. I.nst Sunday It was stated
In the letter that there had been
a notlcenhlo trend In eertnln States
toward Governor Go* during the week
ending with the day on which the
letter was written; but that It was
hardly decided enough to give the
Republican lenders cause for worry.
Thnnks to the good sense of the
American people, they will have cause
for worry next Tuesday night whan
th# returns begin to come In unless
11 signs fall, the Washington Star's
Republican review to be Issued Sunday
to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Rock Hill Reeord Is justly Indignant
over the recent order of the
State board of health providing that
after 90 days from October 7, condensed,
evaporated or powdered
skimmed milk shall not be sold In
South Carolina In packages or containers
of less than one gallon or
ten ponds. It goes without saying,
except for the saying, that the peo
pie Will not rcapeii any ouiii nuusensical
regulation and If a case
aglnst a violator of the regulation
should p.er reach a jury with one
sensible man on It, If no more, the
defendant would stand In no danger t
of conviction. Meanwhile, however, <
the wise plan wuuld be for retail (
merchants to get together, as The '
Record suggests, and contest the or- ]
der In the State courts. The secretary
of the State board of health Is (
responsible, we assume, for the Inexcusable
order, which would deprive '
thousands of families of their only .
sourco of milk supply, for few families
are able to buy at one time ten |
pounds or one gallon of evaporated,
condensed or powdered skimmed I
milk. Rut granting that all the users (
of such milk In the State were able to
buy It In such quantities, before (
half the package or container was
used the other half would have
spoiled. The secretary of the State
board of health Is. as we suggest,
perhaps, responsible for the order;
but responsible to whom?
Certnlnly not to tho Legislature,
which has no control over him and
no voice In his selection. The only
T oolulu # urn hnu t fl rln with
the health department Is to provide
the money to keep It going. And It
la coating the people of South Carolina
more than $200,000 a year.
Some nre hold enough to say that
they do not think all this big sum of
money necessary nnd they go further
nnd express the opinion that all of
It Is not wisely Bpent and that an
Investigation of the health department
would do no harm If It did
no good.
IsnraHtrr Man Killed.
A shooting In which one Lancaster
county man, Noah Robertson, whose
home was a few miles aoutb of Waxhaw.
occurred In Union county. N. C.
Saturday. Lucius, Noah and John
Robertson, brothers, and their nephews,
John and Mark Robertson, started
from their home In I^ancaster
county to Monroe, N. C. Home distance
beyond Waxhaw they got Into
a difficulty In which Noah Robertson
was seriously wounded and bus since
died. John Robertson also was shot ,
but not seriously wounded. Lucius,
John anil Fred Robertson returned to
I^ancaster county, claiming the shooting
was accidental. The sheriff of
Union county telephoned the sheriff
of Lancaster otherwise, however, and
they were arrested and taken to
Monroe and locked In Jail to await
an investigation of the shooting.
SHOULD SEE PICTURE.
I0|tlKCO|>al Rector Uralses Picture to
Be Shown at Tl?e .Majestic Tl?eHtor
Next Wednesday.
The following communication was
signed by the eRv.Ouy H. Prater, former
rector of the Episcopal church
at Rock Hill and printed in tjie Anderson
Dally Mall:
To Editor Dally Mail:
In view of the crying need of
shielding und saving our younK peoplo
from the horrible anil unspeakable
and unprintable deformities and
ubnormltles of life when abused, I
wish It were possible for the police to
arrest every younK man in Anderson,
take them to The Strand tonight and
compel them to sit through the picture
entitled "Are You kit to Marry."
We believe in compulsory education
anil this contemplated act If It
could be carried out would be entirely
in keeping with that principle,
for education of the sort contained
in that picture, If heeded, will do
more for .the salvation of the race
than almost any amount of preaching.
I am not advertising The Strand,
but I say all glory to the theater when
used for the benefit of the race. We
have not begun to capitalixe the
Moving Picture houses as a blessing
On with the show! Guard our young
women for the sako of the little angels.
