TARIFF INYITKS LOBBYISTS.
Horde ( Smooth Individual* Expectto

According to the Dearborn Independent,
k lobbyist, who has plied
his trade in Washington Biuce the
early days of the tariff that recently
\ became a law of (he land, lately had
this to say: "Two months ago my
mind was thade up to leave Washington
immediately upon the tariff bill
becoming a law, but the special provision
in the act giving the president
authority" to raiae or lower any rate
In fhn Kill ?1 ? ?
... vui uvi iu bavwu ou per ceni
the rate carried ^in the bill, and to
apply the American valuation -plan,
opens up such a rich field that i
have decided to remain Indefinitely."
This man advised a friend to get
busy aud make a few connections
with interested concerns in the United
States and go into the lobbying
business, assuring him that during
the years during which the tariff act
will be in effect will be the richest
aud most fruitful in the history of
'tariff lobbying at the national capi*
tal.
But it probably will not be so easy
as that, for tariff "lobbying has
changed from the coarse methods of j
a decade ago, when whi3key and wine,
dinners and dollars, and women and
witchery brought home the bacon for
the lobbyists. Those old, raw and disreputable
days are past. Tariff lobbying
Is now one of the fine arts, except
that uone of the other fine arts
is quite so lucrativeThe
"flexible" tariff arrangement
places decisions as to increases or
decreases iu rates in the hands 6f
the Federal Tariff commission and
the president of the United States,
aud they will be subjected to the

will require a smoother and

them than with senators and representatives
"on the hill."
It will not be a wholesome spectacle?this
thing of a flock Of lobbylbts
soliciting the president and the
Federal Tariff commission, tor it
may be expected that additional
"afcorfiis of specialists and experts lu
various chemical, industrial and other
lines wfflT he found pfermanentiy
camped in Washington- after the
jfc'ordney-MOCumber tariff act shall
have gotten into full operation, as the
"flexible" provision in that act opens
up possibilities hitherto undreamed
of.
It may be of Interest to attempt to
learn Just what a lobbyist is, and In
the pursuit of this information let us
go back to 1913, when the Underwood
tariff bHl was being considered and
when exhaustive hearings were had
before the senate judiciary committee
on the "maintenance of a lobby
?? muuence legislation "
Every member of the United States
senate at that time appeared before
the committee and each was subject*
ed to a set of questions in the form
of a printed questionaire. One of the
questions was as follows: "What do
you mean by the word 'lobby* and
'lobbying'?"
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of Arlsona
said that "the lobbyist who
_ jnalte^it his business to ilve in or
stay about Washington for the purpose
of Influencing legislatjon, making
his living in whole or in part, is
the most odious." He divided then?
Into three distinct groups, the "occasional^
the "professional" and the
"legitimate."
Senator Borah, progressive Republican,
of Idaho said: "1 suppose In
popular parlance, we mean by 'lobbyist'
a man who <s employed, paid
professionally, to Influence legislation
concerning a matter, not because
he is interested in the matter, not
necessarily because he thinks It is

During the coming days, in administering
of the Fordney-McCumber
tariff law, we well may expeet auch
It steady growth of the art of "lobbyteg"
by paid "lobbyists" that It will
assume such proportions as to firmly
entrench itself in ofilctal circles
that it will become an accepted part
of the machinery of government at
Washington.

HOT ENOUGH FOOTBALL
"Newspaper opinion sometimes isn't
worth much," a day or -two ago said
a Fort Mill citisen. "Just now I hare
in mind," he continued, *^an editorial
1 read in The Times a few days ago
saying that there is too much footL?ll
m as? - -
van ior mo Kooa or tne public schools.
Prom this opinion I must dissent, as
the lawyers express it. We are not
having enough football. I am in favor
of a football game nearly every
day. Aside from the* pleasure foothall
affords nearly everyone, nothing
adds so. much to the public interest,
especially in the small towns, as to
hear the football boys discuss -the
whys and wherefores of a recent
gnmb 4>r dope out the prospects of a
game soon to be played, ft makes me
feel good and I enjoy it.
"But there is one thing about the
football season I think ought to be
changed, anJl that is the games
should bp played during the summer
months or else, if the season is to remain
as it Is, the schools shoud operate
during the snmmer months and
be closed while the fobtball season Is
on during the fall. I do not think the
public schools should be allowed to
interfere with the football games, and
F am glad that some of the schools
close their doors for a few hours at
least on the days they have games.
"It may be that not all the children
attend the games, but that is their
fault or the fault, of their parents,
who ought to have to put up the
money to pay the children's way into
the grounds. The law forces parents
to send their children to Bchool and
I cannot understand why the same
low should not also force the parents
to send their children to the football
games. The Times' opinion of football
is calculated to stir up strife,
and if it is to continue to express
such opinions I think the paper
ought to be suppressed."
To the which The Times replied
that if it i? one of the newspapers
whose opinion "isn't worth much."
, why pay any attention to what it
suys?

Item of General Interest Found In

Treasurer Neil Monday received
a wire from the comptroller general
instructing him not to open the tax
bocks until December 1. Several people
applied at the office of the treasurer
Monday to pay their taxes, but
on account of the instructions from
Columbia the taxes could not be received.
Robert C. ("Fox Hunting Bob")
Whitesides, in jail in Yorkville,
charged with the killing of Jim Whltener,
pear Clovei, on November 12,
will not be tried at the November

it is expected, will be released on
bond this week, following application
of his attorney, T. F. McDow, Esq.
According to estimates of Mr. t n
Marshall, civil engineer of Yorkvilie,
who is well Informed in such mutters,
it would require about $300,000 to
build a concrete road between Rock
Hill and Yorkvilie. Mr. Marshall has
had wide experience in road building
und understands the subject as thoroughly
perhaps as any rnau in the
State. x
Within a very short time after the
new home of Mr. K. M. Mitchell of
Sharon No. 1 began' to burn last
Thursday afternoon there were nearly
100 automobiles parked in the near
vicinity, the cars coming *from every
direction, some of them from as far
away as Hickory Grove; but because
no fire - fighting facilities were at
hand, the crowd could do nothing but
look on. As yet there is no definite
Idea as to how the fire originated. George
M. Bennett, 30. formerly of
Yorkvilie, was run down and killed
by a street car in a suburb of Charlotte
on November 12. Mr. E'eunett
was dragged for a distance of 32' feet
after being run down by the car. He
survived the accident only a short
time. He is survived by his widow
and one child. His father and mother,
iMf. and Mrs. J. W. Bennett of Yorkvilie
survive, as do a number of
brothers and sisters.
The work of the chaingang in grading
the West road in Yorkvilie is being
hampered somewhat beoause of
the delay in building abutments at
the two bridges that are to be constructed.
There being nothing to
hold the dirt that would otherwise be
banked against the abutments, work
has to be concentrated for the present
on less advantageous points.

Reports reaching the office of the
county superintendent from various
school districts are to the effect that
parents are cooperating with teachers
to a most satisfactory degree in

Carroll said Monday that
there are not more than SO children
of cumpulsory attendance age who
are not now in the schools and he

SCOPE OF DEMOCRATIC VICTORY. ]
i " * """
RepiUkan Lose Heavily la .Both
Congress and State Elections.
The size of the recent Democratic
victory is better understood when
given in detail. The Republican majority;
of 168 in the house- of representatives
has been cut down to approximately
16 and the Republican
majority in the senate of 24 has been
cut to 11.
In addition to these victories Democratic
candidates for governor were
elected in 13 States which had Republican
governors?New Yort, Ohio,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Nebraska,
Kansas, Colorado, Oregon,
Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Tennessee. Twenty-sixStates
of the union now have Democratic
governors, a majority of two in
all of the StatesThe
claim -of the Republicans that
fltnu or>n vn 1
VVU1IV1 uvtu lUf UUUOC ttUU SCII~
ate in the 68th Congress is not meunt
to be taken seriously. As a matter of
tact they do not have actual control
?n either body- The balance of power
between Republicans and Democrats
Is held by progressives, independents
and radicals
It may be assumed that the element
holdidg the balance of power will not
cooperate with the Republican reactionaries
in matters of legislation,
says a Washington dispatch, and it
may also be assumed that the reactionaries
will not accept the progressive
or radical program of their nominal
Republican colleagues.
The 68th Congress promises therefore
to be one of the most interesting
and Important of recent years. Its
record will undoubtedly determine
the domestic issues of the 1924 campaign.

constructing artificial waterways.
China's man-made waterways are t
great help to her commercially
Most of what we term draying ami
freighting in the United States is don?
by the canal boats of China. Tlu
Grand canal is the highway of commerce.
. Millions of boats, large and
small, laden with' freight of every description
pass aloug it from year tc
year. Thousand? of these boats, too,
are family homes.
Hundreds of thousands of the people
of China live in boats on the cana]

homes und never have had. They
arc born, they live and die in these
bout homes.
Canton is the greatest place of all
the water folks. It is estimated that
in this Chinese city alone 400,000
persons live on the water. The boat
homes are known as sampans. Some
of them are built like scowb, with a
regular little house in the center
while others have only bamboo mattlug
supported by poles for a sehelter.
v In this space the whole family
congregates to eat and sleep. Often
they are packed in like sardines in a
can. Others still of the house-boats
are more pretentious, having two to
three decks, one above the other.
The occupants of modern apartment
houses could learn something
from the house-boat dwellers of China
in the way of utilizing every inch
of space: There are gardens on the
decks, poultry yards and duck pools,
and often a pig or two snugly quartered.
