At the precinct Democratic club
meetings Saturday, wet resolutions
were adopted by two Orangeburg
county clubs, aiul several (Jreenville
county meetings registered opposition
. to any change in the prohibition laws,
while one there endorsed for United
States senutof A. H. Williams, wet
candidate for governor the last time,
The club at the west precinct at Dillon
adopted unanimously a resolution
favoring repeal of the prohibition
laws and asking a county referendum
on |he question at the August primary.
Most pre inet meetings ignored
prohibition as an issue this
year.
Tom Mooney Cots Another Dose
i. Sixteen years ago Tom Mooney, a
bolshevist, if not anarchist, was convicted
of blowing up property and
people with a bomb in California.
Four governors l ave refused to pardon.
Jim Walker, the mayoralty
clown, joke, and underworld leader
of New York City, raced across the
country to tell Governor Kolph what
to do, A congressman, Sabath, of
Illinois, of alien descent, and bossed
by an alien district, piped his dream
of innocence. Another congressman,
La (Jitardia, typical Dago, ami bright
as a silver dollar, from tin Harlem,
N. Y.. district of mixed breed--, rushed
in with hi- wisdom and advice. Hordes
of the smaller types ranted, roared
and threatened.
Somehow, it i- hard f<> conceive of
four governors and pardon boards in
South Carolina withstanding such a
siege, during all these years of weak
justice and lender mercies.- -( alhoun
Times.
A suit case containing $112,000 in
( ash ami $10,000 mi jewelry was left
in front of a (Jreenville fruit stand
by Miss Bessie Angel, a tourist from
Rhode Island, for an hour, and found
intact when she remembered it and
went back after it. She bought some
fruit, then got her coat from her car,
donned' it, and drove off, forgetting
the hand baggage. She had an obsession
against banks, carried her money
with her, found H-inconvenient to get
a safety deposit box in each town
where she stayed all night, and finally
put the money in the' suitcase with
some of her clothing. She recovcrod
her money and jewels, because nobody
who saw it suspected that the baggage
left so carelessly on the sidewalk
contained anything of much
value.
Alexander Takes It On The Chin
Grover Cleveland Alexander, one of
the greatest pitchers of all time, is
the main attraction with the House
of David team, or one of them. The
"Barber Cheaters" lost a game to the

this is about Alex the Great.
He has taken his fall from the
major leagues philosophically and is

Charlotte Observer, quoted him:
"I had my day. I've heard tho
crowds roar. I've seen human nature
in all its phases. I've lived. Boy, I
mean I've lived. If my private life
dkin't suit others, that's all right.
Of course I have made mistakes. So
has everyone. But it's all in a lifetime.

SAtJCE FOB THE GOOSE
j Ono extremely Important phase of
; the railroad problem?that of conipe'
tition arising from new carriers
which have been mainly developed
since the war?is fundamentally as
simple as the alphabet.
The pioblem as this: If one common
carrier is regulated by the Federal
Government, through the Interstate
Commerce Commission, why
shouldn't the others be taxed on the
same basis?
Simple justice dictates that all important
forms of transport, railroads,
buses, trucks and waterways, be placed
under an identical type of regulation.
This would make for fair competition
and the effects of tlw^t would
he felt, beneficially, throughout the
nation. Unfair competition has
brought the railroads to the verge
of ruin.
What is sauce for the goose is
tauce for the gander. And what is
considered good for the railroads,
I should likewise be good for their competitors.
TAY CI* WEEK"
The Columbia Chamber of Commerce,
et ah- are talking about a
"pay up" wc-k-?or two weeks or two
months.
Good thinf:In
times past The State has told
the story of the travels of a live dollar
bill, turned loose in a community
and watched for. ft-week. That "Bill"
gives out hut ;ho often comes back
home, but not as a prodigal son for
he has been a joy spreader in his honorable
rounds.
Out in Kansas they know a lot ahout
wheat, and we shall here let the
Topeka Cap tal put into verse something
about the benefits of "paying
up."
The Fanner sells a load of wheat
And all the world grows fair and
.sweet;
He starts off humming cheerful tuneAmi
pays the Grocer for his prunes;
The Grocer who lias had the blues
Now buys lu.s wife and children shoes;
That top the s??hocman thinks Godsent
And runs and pays it on his rent;
Next day the Landlord hands the bill
To Ooctor Bolus for his pill;
The happy I>octor tells his frau
That business is improving now
And adds: "My dear, you need a rest,
You'd better take a trip out West."
So in a week or so the wife
Is on the farm enjoying life.
She pays her hoard to Farmer Howe
Who takes the ten and says: "I swow!
Here's something that just can't be
bent.
This bill's the one I got for wheat."
With it he buys more prunes?and
then
It starts, a-going round again. - -?~
Moral:
Oh. well, it's obvious!
Many hold on to money in a miserly
sort of way when they owe debts
which they can pay. It is honest to
pay and this honesty would certainly
he good policy, for it would help every
line of business in the whole
community.?The State.
Small Bonds To Be Offered.
Although the governor has not yet
signed the act. y is anVl almost certainly
that South Carolina will have
"baby bonds" in the'near future, according
to Julian H. Scarborough,
state treasurer.
These bonds are to be issued in
small denominations by the banks .tof
South Carolina to be sold on the installment
plan. For example, a fiian
may want to buy a hundred dollar
bond but doesn't feel able to pay that
much for it at one time. He can pay,
say, ten dollars down and ten dollars
a month until he has paid the entire
one hundred dollars.
Mr. Scarborough stated that although
the Governor has not signgd
the bill he was pretty sure he wfiuld
in the next few days, after which a
meeting will be called and plans further
formulated towards agreeing on
the time at which they would be is
ucd and the conditions.
It :s thought by many that if this;
plan works out much will be done toj

that almost anybody with just a httfe
money will be able to buy one or
more.

JUDGK TALKS ON KIDNAPING
Say# We Are In The Grasp of the Underworld
and Criminal Klement
In a talk to the court room audience
at Anderson, addressed to the
grand jury, Judge Featheistone said:
"We are in the grasp of the underworld
and tho criminal element. Law
breakers are in control of things and
we ure largely responsible because
we have reached a state of mind
where we are too good to our criminals,
There is always public sympathy
for the criminal and a hue and
cry is set up when he is dealt with
properly by the courts. People are
always afraid that the criminal is
being persecuted, and there is too
much tendency to make heroes of our
chief lawbreakers."
Speaking of general conditions in
the state, Judge Feutherstone declared
that the pace set in the past decade
is too fast. *
"We have put on speed, but we
[ have been like the frog in the well:
we have jumped up one foot and
slipped back two.
"1 can remember the time when
08 per cent of the farmers of Anderson
county owned their own land,
free of debt, and were good for their
accounts. Hut look at the difference
now. Too many of us are spending
more than we make, and that will always
bring trouble."
In somewhat lighter vein the jurist
recalled that he often attended court
in Anderson when he was a mere lad.
"1 well rrmembe^ that ginger cakes
anil apple cider were sold every court
week?a big glass of cider and a stack
of ginger cakes, all for a nickle.
"Courting, njso, was much cheaper
in those days. Why, when 1 was a
young man the cost of courting was
never more than 2."> cents per week.
Now a young feflow isn't in it unless
he has a big car and can blow in five
I t?r ten dollars a week for entertainment."
Newspaper Costs.
The 12,000 weekly newspapers in
the United States have figured out
,he actual cost in cash per line of
every line of editorial, local and news
matter that goes into a newspaper,
no matter how large or how small |
the paper, and that cost varies from
i 7-8 cents-te-2 1-2 cents per line. So
when you feel like cussing the editor
for not publishing your spring poetry
just stop and think that it is going
to cost him 2 cents per line in cdsh
to put it in type, and make it up(in
the newspayer forms, run the papqj$
through the press, fold them, aijil
l-then tark** ttre'-forms off thtrpi'ess "arf&
distribute the article or poem/baei^
into the ease again. And it has hap#
pened many times that the author ,'ofj
the poem became quite peeved whe4
the editor hesitated on handing out
a dozen free copies of the papen,
This newspaper game is a great
game?yet there are scads of both
men and women (who were never
a print shop in their lives, and
wouldn't know a- newspaper press
when the> saw it) could?or think
they could?run the newspapers letter
than they are being run.?Bowie

If The Railroad* Should Stop
Should the railroad* of our great
country fail to function, what would
happen ?
The railroad i? one of the chief industries
of the United State*. It has
followed the trail blazer; it has
played its part in building empires.
It has brought closer together the
east and the west, the north and the
south. It has spent billions of dollars
in building lines, terminals, yards
and various other improvements. It
has given employment to many of our
people in it:; construction, maintenance
and operation. Each year it
pays hundreds of millions of dollars
in taxes.
This great industry is now in distress
and will cease to function unless
the people awaken to their duty
and responsibility apd enuct^measures
which will put it on a basis of equality
in taxation and regulation with
competing fonns of transportation.
We find thcNfreight truck, the passenger
bus and government subsidized
waterways in operation, in competition
with the railroads.
Is it fair competition? Who pays
for the building of roads and waterways?
Ditl the freight truck, passenger
buses, barge and steamship
lines build them? How much taxes
do they- piy toward building and
maintaining them? What share do
j the property owners pay? What
share do the railroad companies pa^?
Should the lailroads cease to operate,
and they must unless we throw
our Iryal support to them, what will
become of many of the various inI
dustries? Wi ich will it affect most?
What will happen to the farmer; the
merchant; the stockman; the manufacturer*
and various others? Should
they fail, every individual will feel
the lasting and far reaching effect.
It is time that we become alarmed.
Is it not time for us to wage a campaign
for, and patriotically stand by,
our railroads?
The Seaboard Air Line Railway,
through its receivers L. K. Powell,
Jr., and E. W. Smith, has tiled application
with the Corporation Commission
at Raleigh to operate trucks between
Hamlet and Monroe. The
Hamlet News, because of its dislike
for trucks;, has practically all of its
paper and supplies shipped by rail.
The highways have been built with
taxpayers' money and in our opinion
should not be monopolized by huge
freight cars (trucks) which are clumsy
and dangerous to pass.
The Seaboard taxes last year were
$6,024.59 to the City of Hamlet and
;$24,460.47 to the county. PaTt of
this money will be used to- retire
'bonds and part of it will go to the
schools. What has ^any truck or bus
line paid the city or county?
The News-Messenger will be glad
to hear from any one either for the
trucks or against them. In the meantime
those opposed would do well to
register their protests to the corporation
commissioner at Raleigh and
feel out candidates now running for
'state offices.?Hamlet News-Messenger.
