of this county are opposed to the le

their ballots last summer—then pro

SHORT-CUT TO RICHES GONE *
A great many people talk about
“lecovery” ast if they believed the aim
-and purpose’of all the things that are
being undertaken in the name of that
ccmmendahle objective
back the “easy money"
late ’20’s. Well, such is silly talk. Mem
who u.se their brains do not expect or
<icsiie anything of the .sort. Our peo
ple cannot stand prosperity—this has
Ix en shown beyond a reasonable doubt.
Tfie bigHoohi days proved it ''vhenjy^^j;
almost everylKxly lost theitr heads and'
went crazy, so to speak, only to be
! caught later in the inevitable crash
that was l>ound to come* following such
a reckless spending sprt'e. Most folk.®
were apj)arently obsessed with the
idea and be-Iief that poor today, they
could become rich tomorrow. -
Those who accumulate riches in the
future, ami we doubt if there will be
many of this cla.ss, wilf work harder,
we have an idea, than those who gain-
e<l them in the past. There are still op-
jKtrtimitje.s for the accumulation of^
wealt)^ of course, bukithe ‘road is all 1
but/^asy in this complicated and un-j
‘ ft I tain .economic iH*riod through which!
■we are passing.
The day's of “easy money’’ have
gone. The time for “getting rich over
night’’ is past. The odds are that those
who “hitch their star” to thi.s sort of
hope or expectation are going to be
dLsa;)pointe<l. and that right badly.

Johnston and Governor Chamberlain

ance of tlH'ir own iwlitical power.
The real issue before the state to
day is set forth in the following force
ful editorial from Dr. Ball which all
South Carolinians should thoughtfully
KlNORINt; THE I'EOI'LE
This sound editorial is from The
. IndcXrJ.ournal of Grwmwood:
“When The (Ireenville I’iedmont,
commenting on certain remarks '
in this depailmenl that the pn*s-
ent liquor law'should not be tink-
eie«l with, suggestylhat one foiin
<)l tinkering is in linler, to^wit: a*
fuovision thaU a liquor . store
sl^iulii not l>e permitted in a com
munity m which a majority of
jK'ople objirt, it makes a sound '
.s’uggestioji.
- —^"That some recognition of the
principle of local option should be
recognized was * an observation
made liy The Index-Tournal more
than once while the lu\<- w^s 'being
prepared.,
“The Piedmo: t is eminently
soun<l on that. If a majority of
pepple in a_.community do not
•want a liquor store opened there,
they should have some way of ex
pressing their feelings and their
feelings should be respected.”
That has been the exact position olf
The Chi-onicle-jsince the liquor agita
tion began—that the legislature has
no right to pass a law that will force
liquor stores into a community where
the majority of the people have ex
pressed their opposition. There should
have been a local option feature in the
bill
The fate of the highway
partment is no lunger the ques
tion. It is now a .side i.ssue. —^
'I'he question is whether or not
civjl, or- democratic, government
.shall survive in South Carolina.
The process, of your supreme
court is halted by soldiers. A de-
ci.sion of the supreme court can.
be stopped in the same way.
Ts .Mr. Stabler chief justice? Or
has that office bet‘n abolished by
force except in name?
Shall your general assembly
convene\in January as provided J)y
law? HoV do you know ?
Fifty-nine years ago armed sol
diers prevented your legislature,
from meeting in the State House.
A governor, D. H. Chamberlain,
with the hacking of President
Grant, controlled those, armed
forces.
You South Carolinians should
understand the meaning of gov-
ernroennSy- armed soldiers. May
be you don’t remember it. We do.
The federal constitution, in the
first amendment, guarantees the
right “of the people peaceably to
as.semble.” It would be a shameful
thing if South Carolinians should
he driven to appeal to Washington
in order to have a meeting of theif ‘
general a.ssembly.
.'\re you sure that soldiers will
not be in the State Hou.se when
the legislature meets? What
makes you sure? ^ .
We can, for argument’s sake,
grant every accusation that, tha
governor brings against the high-
w^cnwwigniony-nnd-niafo- that
it is composed of pirates^'robbers,
and plunderers, ridiculous as that
would be —and still, as long as
they are guilty of no turbulence,
as long as they raise not a violent
hand, he is without defence or
excuse* for substituting military
force for civil government in
