Hon. W. F. Stevenson has introduced
a bill in the legislature to provide for
a summer term of the court of .common
pleas for the counties of the Fourth
judiciary circuit.
A bill to provide for marriage
licenses in South Carolina has passed
to its third reading in the Senate. The
bill provides for the issuance of the
license by the probate judge.
Senator Stewart, of York county, has
introduced a bill asking for an appropriation
of $60,000 to establish a
school of* industrial arts at Winthrop
college. The Chronicle hopes this bill
will be summarily killed.
The Chronicle is very much disappointed
in Governor Blease's inaugw-1
ral address. It had thought the man
that is in .him would'"rise equal to the
. occasion, and show to the world at
large that it was his intention to be
the governor of the whole people of
South Carolina.
j> A town is judged by its newspapers,
much as a salesman is sized up by his
clothes. The whole community is thus
a partner in its journa'istic enterprises.
If you want your city to put
its best foot forward, give the home
paper the support it needs to keep on
expanding and growing more attractive.
Governor Blease's friends are predicting
great things for him. He unquestionable
has an opportunity such

Are our merchants ready for the
competition of those alluring spring
catalogues from the metropolitan department
stores? Of course the bargains
at home are better, when you
consider that the home merchant gives
you his personal attention and the
opportunity to return goods that are
not what was represented. But the
public forgets this. Trade has to be
drummed; and the only efficient salesman
is the home newspaper.

A Good Bill.
Anderson Mail,
It seems to us that those who really
want prohibition should be much interested
in a bill introduced in the
legislature by Mr. Doar, of Georgetown.
Mr. Doar proposes an inspection tax
of 20 cents a gallon on whisky ship*
ped into dry counties. The idea is to
furnish protection to the people, by
requiring all whisky to come up to a
certain standard.
Such a law would bar the chemicalmade
whiskies which are so poisonous
and would tend to decrease the concumption
of whisky. It would also
make it harder for blind tigers to get
their supplies.
There can be no question that such
a law. requiring inspection of whisky,
would be constitutional. It would
come unde the head of police and
health protection, things which every
state has the right to regulate.
_ But we think the law should apply
those counties having dispensaries
as well as to the dry counties. The
people of the wet counties are entitled
to just as much protection as the dry
| UUUUUKO.
i We have wondered why the prohibitionists
have not demanded a law of
this kind before now. The prohibition
HL law can be made to prohibit, if the
people want it to prohibit If the legs^^L
isiature will pass a law declaring
whisky a poison, and permitting it to
be shipped into the state only aa a
poison, we will have real prohibition.
Such a law would stand the test of
the courts, and it would be effective.
There! a no doubt about ttdt.

CoinriiJttee of Senate Reports Favorably
ou Measure.
A measure providing for a limited
parcels post on rural free delivery
routes has been reported-favorably to
the United States Senate from the
ommittee on postoffices and post
roads. 4
The measure provides, In substance,
that for the year beginning April 1,

postmasters and carriers, on
such rural routes as he shall select,
j to accept for delivery by ca rier, at

to report to Congress the resu't of this

Real estate values in our neighboring
county of Chesterfield seem to
advancing by leaps and bounds. Two
years ago our fellow townsman, Mr.
W. J. Cunningham, bought at public
auction in Charlotte a tract of land
containing sixty-seven and a tfalf
acres, in Chesterfield county, for
which he paid only $50. Mr. Cunningham
has just sold the place to a Chesterfield

RECEIVERS APPOINTED.
!
Hoover Lumber Company Placed in
Hands of Receivers.
United States Circuit Judge J. C.
Pritcliard has appointed Messrs. John
E. DuBoise and George C. Looinis, receivers
of the N. L. Hoover Lumber
Comany, and, as will be seen by otficial
notice in another column of The
Chronicle, they have taken charge of
the plant and effects.
Work at the Hoover lumber plant,
located at Cash, S .C., on the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad, about >our miles
below Cheraw, has been suspended for
some time. The plant of this company
is one of the finest of its kind in the
country. It is located conveniently to
one of the finest tracts of timber in
the country and should be a moneymaking
proposition.
The Chronicle learns that dissensions
among the stockholders have
brought on the trouble. It seems that
some of the larger stockholders know
nothing about saw mills, lumber or
timber, and therefore can't understand
why it takes so much money to
get a lumber plant going. As a result,
dissensions arose almost from the beginning
of the placing of the machinery,
culminating soon thereafter
in the shutting down of the plant, and
now the placing of same in the hands
of receivers.
What will be done as yet is unknown
but if the receivers decide to operate
the plant, in the hands of competent
mill men, there is money in it; shou'd
they decide to sell, there will be given
a chance to some one to buy a proposition
out of which good money can be
made. '

Georgian May Head Interstate Com,

The nominations of 'the two ipembers

Meyer, have been confirmed by the
senate.
Within the next two or three weeks
the commission will organize and thf
probability is that Judson.C. Clements,
of Georgia, will bo elected chairman
of the commission, to succeed Judge
Martin S. Knapp, who goes to the
new court of commerce.
Judge Clements is now the senioi
member of the commission and according
to usual custom would be the
logical chairman. As he is very popular
with his associates, his election
is considered a foregone conclusion
