No. 112. Entered at the poatofflce at Fort Mill, S. C., as mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1921. After all, this is not as bad old world as we sometimes think. Yesterday, for instance, a gentle man from whom we never had expected to .collect a cent came in and paid his subscription. The Socialist party has nearly a million votes in the United States. Eugene V. Debs, head of the party, who is doing time in the Atlanta federal prison for disloyal utterances doing the World war, is therefore a man of considerable political influence. Dougherty, tilling on the installment plan the office of attorney general, not long ago had l)cbs go from Atlanta to Washington, unattended, evidently to discuss with Debs the suggestion that he be let out of jail. Nothing of the kind had ever before been done bv an attorney general of the United States; but Daughtey perhaps reasoned that by showing IVbs unusual consideration he would be able to line up a big Socialist vote for the Republican party in the congressional elections next year and in the presidential election in 19*24. The ? country is indebted to Mr. Stevenson, representative from the 5th South Cur?lina district, for calling attention in the halls of Congress to Dougherty's inexcusable abuse of otlicial power. Newspapers across the line in North Carolina make a lot of racket about things that in most States are unimportant. Why should there be so much excitement in Tarheeliu about the color of the man's eyes who is appointed to a minor federal job by the Harding administration 1 Professional baseball magnates are the most successful grafters in America. Turn to the sporting pages of any of the more important dailies for proof of the asserlion. Day in and day out column after column of valuable space is devoted to accounts of the r y * games of the preceding day in the various leagues, not one inch of which is paid for by the magnates. it costs the daily newspapers of America millions of dollars every year to supply the public with baseball information, which means million^ of dollars in the pockets a the club owners. Professional baseball would die in 60 days if the daily press closed its news columns to reports of the games. Put the club owners are "not wholly ungrateful to the daily press?in isolated instances they carry an inch advertisement in the home paper calling attention to the next gome to he played on the local lot. President Harding's wife is doubtless and estimable woman, but she will never be as popular "first lady of the land" us w?? Mrs. Cleveland, however much entertaining the Hardings may do. A comparison of the pictures ol Mrs. Harding and Mrs. Cleveland tells the reason why. Perhaps the socalled citizens' committee of Columbia that met a few days ago to express its disapproval of the action of the railt&i f PfjPv -m* \J& " - * road commission in granting the Bell Telephone company the right to increase its rates in South Carolina was not representative of the citizens of the capital city as the Columbia chamber of commere alleged in an effort to discredit the meeting; but, for that matter, will any disinterested party say that the aforesaid chamber of commerce has the exyjnsive right to represent the views of the citizens of Columbia? Possibly there could be found some one to say, 011 the contrary, that the Columbia chamber of coinmere is a hot air institution whose principal reason for existence is to pay a wise-looking secretary a good salary for services that lead to nothing. impersonates many of the worlds great men and gives to the role of an eccentric inventor a peppery interpretation thar will make him a million newfiiendscritics say its the best.
