second class.
THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1021.
Pretty soon there will be n
Kilkenny scrap on among tin-1
senate Republicans.
With cotton seed?from which
there is n popular impression cottonseed
hulls arc taken as one of
the relatively unimportant byproducts?selling
at 25 cents per
bushel, why is it the public has
to pay $1.25 cents per hundred
for cottonseed hulls? One explanation
is that the the cotton oil
mills have not yet learned that
the fine art of gouging was supposed
to be confined to the war '
era.
Now for a peep at the daily papers
which inflict a mult it urinous
number of hand-me-down
features which nobody ever reads.
Next Sunday we shall go t?>
church or spend an hour looking
through the same papers for the
stray items of news obscured by
the "social." When The Times
becomes a daily it will contain
few "features" and no "social"?.which
latter stuff is worse
reading than most fake medicine
tt stimonials.
The service the weather bureau
furnishes the country lacks much
of being worth the price. For
instance, Sunday we were told
by the bureau that thi* cold siiap
i>* .prospect for the first of the
v. eck would ^ause no discomfort.
People in this section yeiterduy
suffered as much from cold as on
ary day during the winter. The
weather bureau is unreliable
more than half the time.
While it may he true that the
Non-Partisan League has ruined
North Dakota financially, it certainly
is true that the League will
never be ruined by Kansas citizens
who resort to violence in opposing
those who are pushing the
party's interests in that State.
Former soldiers who are credited
with forcing two speakers for the
League to apply to themselves a
uuitim^ 01 iar iiiiti 111 o11 running
them out of the county were in
disreputable business to say the
least. The Non-T'art isan League
may even be worse than its opponents
say it is, but Mistreatment
of its members will not stay iis
growth in Kansas or elsewhere.
"F.or ye have the poor always
with you." There are poor poo- |
pie in South Carolina, to be sure,
just as there are poor people in
every section of the country.
Some, a considerable number, of
those in this State who have never
succeeded in getting a foothold on
the path that leads to comfortable
living apparently have themselves
to thank for their unhappy
condition. Adversity has fallen
on others and these are not to be
censured for their failure to grasp
the opportunities that knnnk
nearly every man's door in 8011th
Carolina. Nature has been kind
to this State and here there is
more thjfn a chance for one to fro
forward in life. With a climate
unsurpassed anywhere 011 the face
of the globe and with soil from
which may be coaxed food for
man and beast with a minimum
of effort, truly South Carolina is
one of the favored States of the
American union.

CASE STILL IN COURT.
Hearing of Big McNinoh Damage
Suit Not Yet at End.
Trial of the or S. S. MeNinch.
former owner of the Charlofte

of $100,000 are sought by'
Mr. McNinch, was still vin progress
in the superior court in Char
lotto yesterday and there was
said to be little prospect, of the
completion of the heating before
the end of the week. The ease
was taken up more than ten days,
ago.
Mr. MeNinch is asking for a
verdict against the trust eompa*
ny on the ground that it sold the
brick plant and 7(H) acres of adjoining
land in Fort Mill township.
which it held in trust, at
much less than the actual value
of the property and at a,great
loss to hint, in violation of an
agreement he had with the company.
The trust company, it is
stated, held a mortgage on the
brick plant and land, which were
sold for $40,000. A considerable
portion of the land was bought
at the sale by Dr. .1. 1j. Spratt'of
Fort Mill, who afterward sold it
to Hamilton Carbartt. The brick
plant was dismantled and the machinery
shipped awav from Fort
Mill.
