is ii man of excellent judgment,
as tin editor of this paper happens
to kiiow. and could he depended
upon to do the right tiling
in .my circumstance. Itut under
the rules of the committee, the
government printing ofHee is required
to print verbatim the
speeches of members of Congress
delivered on the floor of their respective
houses. Whatever they
say must he printed its reported

v as some merit perhaps, lor he
appeared to he trying lo help the

conditions at the government
printing office which are known
t?> he had. For many years rings,
c!hpies and factions have existed
among the thousands of employees
of the office which should no*

to bring order out of chaos, and
lie will succeed if any man could.
In this laudable undertaking he
should have the support of every
member of Congress, irrespective
of political affiliations.
Weal her condit ions this fall for
gathering the cotton crop in
the South have been as nearly
ideal as this section ever ex per'
ences. It is a fair assumption
therefore that if the staple has
been picked as rapidly over tht
cotton belt generally as it has
bi ell liweillv i iw Itiil..
... , * (* ? ir? III I ir W I III*
flop remaining in lite fields. It
is the almost universal eustoiu of
farmers to have their cotton giniiul
as rapidly as it is brought in
from the fieltis. Therefore, the
latest ginners' report, issuetl last
Tuesday by the census bureau,
showing something like dOO.OOO
less bales ginned from the current
crop than we no ginned to the
same date from the 1920 crop, is
another evidence that the crop is
so short that the price at which
it is now being sold is too low. if
supply and demand have any influence
in directing the course of
the market. The Times never has
undertaken to suggest to its.
former friends who have cotton
to sell whether it apparently was
to their interest to put it on the j
%
market or store i.t for sale at a
future date iu the* hope of securing
a better price., That is a mat- ,
ter they are able to decide for
themselves, albeit suggestions '
from this paper alone that line I
would be as well worth following
up those of many newspapers and j
individuals who pose us experts
on .the subject. No living man i
can tell what the morrow will
bring forth iu the cotton market, j
The price may go up or it may |
go down, depending, as was observed
in these columns u few
weeks ago, on the will of the cotton
exchange gamblers. But for
uli that, conditions which should
make for a further advance in
the price of the staple tuuy ob
tain within the next lew days. It i
the unsold portion of the crop
does not bring 25 cents or more
before the advent of the new year
we shall be surprised. There lias 1
bten little more than half a cfop
raised this year and this fact cannot
be dodged indefinitely.
;
Before the passage of the prohibition
amendment 10 the federal
constitution, when the liquor;
question in South t'aroiina received
lengthy consideration at
every sc.-?siou ot the Ueneral Assemhiy,
frequently there were
cited in both branches of that
body instances of men convicted
of violating the Sta.e tawsugaius.
the unauthorized sale ot liquor
alterwards being trnd for die
twine offense 111 the federal courts
under the the laws of the general
governiuent. Very tulle attention
was paid to the charges of violation
of the federal constitution
in tlie era of almost universal
sentiment in South t aroliiiu in fa vor
of drastie proluhition laws!
ami cqiiany drastic methods ol
en force in i n ol those laws. Bat
in hotli the house and senate there
always were some meiiihers who
knew tiiat it tliere were uislan- ,
ces of men being twice put in
jtopardy ol their liberty ;or th
same otfeiise it was illegal ami
indefensible. One of these fine
days the issue will In- settled once
a11it lor all time. A man named
Knox who has just been convicted
in the Slate court at Spartan- j
burg for violating the prohibition
laws and who has since been indicted
in the federal court for the
western district of South Carolina
for the same offense, he adleges.
now appeals to the supreme j
court of the United States to s? t
aside the indictment in the lower
federal court oiv the ground that
it is a vioJatiou tit the consti,ution
of the United States. 1 lie
provision of the federal constitution
is so plain it would seem
that there is hut one deeision for
the supreme court to render in '
the ease. Smart lawyers, and
stupid ones. too. sometimes succeed
in having fmn convicted
for the same offense in municipal
and State courts in South Carolina
by the simple process of
wording the first and second indictmeuts
diffet litly. Cor instance.
the defendant will he accused
of disorderly conduct in ;
the municipal court; in the State j
court, for the same offense, lie i
will he charged with violating I
the peace and dignity of the
commonwealth, or with having
committed some such crime.. Of
course the second trial is clearly
illegal, hut it is of more or less <
frequent occurrence in South j
Carolina. There is no pulling 'lie j
wool over tIn* eyes 01 tin* supreme
court of the United States, ;
however. If the la< ts are j.. ?It j
