There must be some mistake about the claim that Wilsonism is dead: Tuesday President Harding delivered in person bis message to Congress. If the opinion rendered in Greenville a day or two ago by Circuit Judge Prince holding the act of the General Assembly prohibiting carnivals from showm ing in certain South Carolina coupties stands, we may expect to see this lowest and most debased form of public amusement known in this section take advantage of the opportunity to renew operations in those counties, one of which is York. But they will not lbng be permitted to op increased. Ami meanwhile the public is paying $:il) for a $20 suit. All the tariff pap finds its way into the pockets of the manufacturer. Cooper Signs School Act. Governor Cooper Tuesday signed the new school attendance law passed by the General Assembly at the 1921 session. The bill as originclly drawn was to abolish truant officers, and while the act retains that feature, the tinal bill as passed and signed by the governor is .different from the Wightman abolition measure. The new law leaves the the matter of truant officers to the counties and school districts and is somewhat of a local option statute. ^ The same ages and restrictions and requirements in reference to .attending school that were in the old law are embraced to a large extent in the new measure. Provision is made that where children live too far from a school or a school bus line they may be exempted from attendance. IWBBBP1' * - orate in the sections of the State which object to their presence, for the General Assembly next year is certain to find a way to stifle theiu. President Harding in his first message to Congress declared that the League of Nations is dead. Likely enough. And there also will be dead on the field of battle in the years to come many a mothr's son, slain by the same agency that killed the league, the Republican United States senate. A protective tariff is a plausible thing in theory, but it does not pan out as its sponsors in the Republican party try to fool the people into believeing it will?in the interest of tW masses. A sample of the proposition thev make is about like this: "We will lay a tariff of $10 oji each $20 suit of men's clothing made in England. When the clothing is. imported into this country it will have to sell for $30 or a little more. For argument's sake we admit that the American made $30 suit may be worth no more than the $20 English suit, but the tariff we have placed on the English suit will keep it out of this country uiul enable our manufacturers to pay the wool grower more for the material that went into the domestic suit and at the same time enable him to keep up the wages of his employees." Pretty theory that pans out about this way: The wool grower gets no more for his product and the wacres of tt?i? vvnrlrmnn 11 ? .. /. ^ w * TEARS WON PRESIDENCY. John Tyler Said to Have Cried Self Into White Bonse. John Tyler, 10th president of the United States and first vice president to succeed to the office through the death of a president, has a unique distinction among presidents, in that he cried himself into the presidency. At the Whig convention which nominated William Henry Harrison, the suporters of Henry Clay were heartbroken. Tyler seemed to suffer more acutely than the rest, for he wept unrestrainedly. It was not a pose; the tears streamed down his cheeks and the convention, with the usual desire to placate a faction that hail lost, wanted to nominate a man acceptable to the Clay adherents. No president had yet died in office, and the possibility did not occur to the convention leaders. So looking about them for a suitable man, they found Tyler, unable to keep back his tears. He wasn't really a Whig; he was simply a Clay man, but the convention did not stop to figure 'it all out. They nominated him. and he served all but one month of Harrison's term, being inaugurated April 6. 1841. He was at his home in Williamsburg. Va.. when word was brought to him of Harrison's death. There was no inaugural ceremonies and no' ball; Tyler took the oath in private and then, summoning Harrison's cabinet, told them all he wanted them to retain their offices. He issued an address to the country in lieu of nil inaugural speech, that be would continue the policies of the late president. He failed to do so, however, and his administration was marked by quarrels with the Whig leaders. All the clerks in Rock Hill are to be given a half holiday on April 10, in observance of Confederate Memorial dav. The mer chants agreed to give the clerks this holiday at a recent meeting and in all probability it will he a permanent half holiday with the store workers.
