There are In South Carolina several hundred salaried official* wlmsc oath ?f ofllce require them to enforce the laws. apprehend law-breakers and. nee tJmt they are brought into court for tfrial. The officials to whom reference la had a?e the sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, tairal polleemeii, constables, and police men of the cities and towns. They are, In number, sufficient to make h hotter showing In the enforcement of* law and t*upprcssion of lawlessness than they have In recent years, and now that they will have the support and en unuragement of a ?*liief executive' who stands for the orderly enforcement of law and the suppression of crime, they should turn over a new leaf and do their full duty. It Is admitted with out argument, that In recent years sheriffs and other otllclals have had little encouragement to apprehend and prosecute criminals, since they have keen turned loose on the public as rapidly as convicted and sent to pris on ; hut a new order is at hand, the people of the State have, by their bal lots, placed In otllce a man pledged to enforce the laws and punish the law less, and the public conscience has re volted against the reign of the crim inal classes. Public sentiment is be coming aroused and otllclals should be the first to take the hint that laxity in enforcing the laws will not longer be a popular policy for them to pur sue. Sumter Item.

Few enterprises in South Carolina, public or private, have ever enjoyed such rapid growth as that which the cooperative creamery of Clemson Col lege has had in the few months since it began operations.

A CONTRASTr?^ Imperial Valley, In California, last year raised HO, (MX) bale* of cotton on SO, 000 a?i*?. The fCol that the rafffl or h of California can average over a Lal|) of cotton to the acre after an ex]>ertcnce in planting It of Juat three yearn raises conalderaNfl doubt whether j or not the South can maintain Indetl nltely her supremacy In cotton x row ing. lint thlN Ih not what command* our attention now. The striking thin# about the fiu|>erial Valley's exj>erlenoo with cotton (IiIn year In that the low prices have not pa ralyzed the htisliicMS of tbiit section like it Iihh done In the South, in Laurci in county for iuatance. Why the difference between the con tinued proH|H?rlty there and the depres sion hefro? A list of other products raised In the county explains the con trast in condition. In Uiuryjja county, with a population about tHpialllng that of the liu|K>rlal Valley, cotton was the predominant and almost exclusive mon ey crop. At the present price It would bring $2,000,000. All other crops coin blued would not near e<|iuil it in value, lint figures gathered by the San Inego t'nlon, a California newspaiwr, show that the total production of agricul tural products In the Ini|H>rlal Valley last year was valued at $20,000,000, in eluding cotton, alfalfa, barley, corn, hay, cattle, horses, sheep, watermelons, dairy products, fruits and Innumerable other* things. While these farmers were holding their cotton they were selling other things. Imperial Valley is a favored section, It may be said. It Is now. It wasn't fifteen years ago. Then It was an arid desert, barren and lifeless. Irrigation, intensive and diversified farming and modern marketing methods have brought about a transformation. While our lands may not be as fertile as those In the Imi>erlnl Valley we could at least diversify our crops so that when one falls we could have another to fall back on. ? Laurens Advertiser.

The steamer Washlugtoulan. a freighter carrying no passengers, and the bin schooner Kllzahcth Palmer, were In collision to day off the const of Delaware, near Cajie Ilenlopen.

I. despised and abhorred; a thing self created, self-pitied and abnormally self- loved. % This self ? created creature is the chronic grouch that walks 'iere ami there in every town and community searching for happiness ? that he may destroy it. Flowers and children, be cause they represent beauty and love, he detests. He reads as he runs that a!l men are liars and all women but creatures of evil. In summer he reviles the bright sun shine and hates the green hills. In winter he reviles the cleansing snow and the purifying frost. The bitter ness of gall and wormwood is within his heart. Children flee from him and his wife can be classed among the martyrs. Men shun him and the world hates him. From an early age he walks tlds earth spreading unlmpplness and unbelief ? a maker of evil and discord. Irt't us throw the x-ray of self-exam ination into our own heart and search out the little microbe that has a ten dency to multiply and produce, In {tone, the hated grouch. There is too much love and sunshine in this old world of ours to spoil It with the canker <>f self ishness. A Time for Prayer. ?, A minister once wished to ascertain what influence 'the hard times had up on bis eonjrregntion. nnd sold, at tile dose of his sermon : "1 would ask everyone who is . still able to pay" his debts to rise from his seat." The whole congregation arose with the exception of one n.:in. The parson then asked nil who were unable to meet their bills to rise. Thereupon the solitary individual got up, a hungry-looking, poorly-clad man. whose features revealed the terri ble struggle of one fighting hopelessly against the vicissitudes of the world. "How is^it. my friend, that you arc the only one among these people who cannot pay his debts?" "Sir," answered the man, hesitating ly. "I am a publisher of a newspaper, and those who rose just now are all my subscribers, and ? " * Hut the minister Interrupted him hastily by saying: "Ivct us pray." ? Ex. Los Angeles, Cnl. ?

Grant Did Not Forget the Man Who Did Him a Good Turn.

"While Grant was doing the best he could after be had quit the army and was down and out tie wanted to get the job of county surveyor of St. Louis county. This Job was in the keeping of the three county judges, and Grant could get only one of them to vote for him. so he didn't get the place. "After the war. when Grant was serving fiis first term as president, a delegation of Missourians visited the White House to urge the appointment of a St. Iyouis man for collector of in ternal revenue, the most lucrative po sition in the state. Grant listened to the arguments and looked over the petition presented. Then he scratched his head and remarked: "'Isn't there an old follow out there of the mm;)' of lying, who used to be a judge of the county court?' "Nobody in the delegation could re call Long. but Grant told them to go back and find out. Some time later be was told that .Judge Ix>ng was still living in the county, but was not con spicuous _ " 'Get up u petition for him,' advised the president, 'and 1 will appoint him internal revenue collector ' "The friends of Long lost no time in presenting the requested petition, and the old judge was appointed.
