A WARNING
Gentlemen of the legislature! Do
you know that but for the vast sums J
of money poured into this state the j
past ten months by the several j
Alphabet Administrations that have
in a way kept this state going, we
would now be hanging on the. ropes
gasping for breath. Millions of tuxes
have been paid with moneys receive*!
as n gift from the federal
government. Don't tempt fate by
increasing expenses now to be paid
with increased taxes. The flow of
money from the federal treasury is
already slackening. ? Yorkvillv inquirer.

Capital Observations
<. (Special Correspondence)
Washington, March 6.?'This c^y
\a the headquarters of the national
society of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. an organization
approaching 200,ooo in membership.
It is rightfully regarded as a distinction
to be a member, as the restrictions
ure such as to limit applications
to the descendants of the soldiers
of the Revolution. A beautiful
and very creditable building, known
as the Memorial Continental Hall,
houses the executive offices, and re|cenlrly
it became necessary to erect
la spacious convention hall to, accornmo<Uite
the delegates to the meetings.
The principal political issue since
founding of the republic hps been
the tariff, high rates being favored
by manufacturing sections and low
levies or none at all by the agricultural
interests, A hundred years ago
South Carolina took steps looking toward
the "nullification'" of an act of
Congress raising tariff rates, and the
situation then approached civil war,
which came later. In general the
Democratic party has advocated a
low tariff, "for revenue only" as set
forth in national platforms, and the
Republicans have stood for high rates,
under the guise of "protection" for
the laboring classes. There is now
a law passed under the Republican
administration authorizing the president
to raise or lower a rate to the
extent of fifty per cent upon the recommendation
of the Tariff (.commission
after investigation. The process
| ha - been slow and unsatisfactory,
Mtid wry little has been done except (to
c hange a few rates, raising in j
n? a: ;y e very case, as might be ex- !
... A bill has now been intra
,1 j . gre.- - ;,t the request of
ievident Rno-eveit which would give i
i, in t 'onjbele authority to make re.
:il trade agreements between
Cr.'tid State- and 'other nations,
and l"Wi r tariff duties by fifty:
per cent- to bring about such agree
mints, or to raise them to a like extent
if need be. The issue will likely [
prove to be the first clear-cut con
tent ion between the two parties dur-j
ing the present administration. The i
American tariff wall has been raised j
m, high that most other nations have j
retaliated. Being unable to sell their i
goods to advantage in the United j
States they have themselves estab- .
lished high tariffs which have kept
out our manufacturers and American
foreign trade has suffered immensely.
This condition has been one of j
the main causes of the terrible de- |
pression which has afflicted this and
other nations. As indicated by the
President his purpose in advocating
a new law is the emergent need of
rebuilding America's international
commerce, and so that it may bo done
speedily.
* * *
W ithin the pa>l few days Franklin
I). Roosevelt completed one year as,
pre-ident of the United States, and j
niu-ui -bus been said and written. |
mostly in praise of his record. One I
general conclusion is that today he is
m< re popular than when he entered
the White House, that he enjoys a !
prestige that is unique and that he j
lias won confidence and respect from i
all the people to a greater extent
than any former executive while in '
office. Under his guidance a vast
amount of legislation has been
smoothly enacted and the inspiration
of hi.-. leadership has restored faith
and placed the country in the straight
road toward renewed prosperity.
# ?
An agreement has been reached
whereby a vote will be taken on the
14th instant on the St. Uawrenee waterway
treaty, a project dear to the
heart of the President. It is not evident
that the necessary two-thirds
majority will be forthcoming to ratify
the treaty, but there will he a
showdown, and the way will be paved
f..r another document, with amendments
if necessary. It is regarded
m a foregone conclusion that in time
he proj-wt-ed canal will bo built by
agreement between thi- country and
i a'.:iiia.

pressed in an unwarranted manner
by the "Romanist" United .States Attorney
of the District of Columbia.
However, the Catholic prosecuting
attorney is now out of office, but
there does not seem to be any disposition
to drop the case on the part'Of
his successor. In efforts to avoid
prosecution the case was appealed, :
unsuccessfully, all the way to the Su- t
preme Court of the United States.
In the past one might hoar occasionally,
even in the South, that very
little difference was noticeable between
Democratic and Republican ad-j

THINKS IT AN OUTRAGE
The following U .from the Yorkville
Enquirer: , "It mak*9 ****
to think about taking that, old nigger
Green Coleman from Charlotte down
to Columbia and receiving him In the
legislature," said Robert Jefferson
Morrow of York No. 0, one of the
original Ku Kluxers and a red shirt
wearer who oa.*t his first vote for
Hampton in 1876. Mr. Morrow is a
native of Chester county, and has
been a subscriber to The Enquirer
for 52 years.
"Why Green Coleman never was a
member of the Legislature from
Chester county or anywhere .else. I
knew him in Reconstruction days and
knew him well. Ho was jttst a big
mouthed, loud-talking negro who
gever amounted to anything in politics.
The representatives in the leg'
i statu re from Chester were John Lib
key., John Lee, Charles Sims, and Senator
Wimbush, a yellow nigger.
Green Coleman may have been in ( olumbia
at that time, but he didn't
hold any office. He was run out of
the state when Hampton took charge
and he ought never to have been
brought back for anything. Tojust
couldn't rest good after going to bed
thinking about it."
THIS THING OF PARDONS
The free use of the pardon and
parole power seems to have become
a habit in more than ohe state?
South Carolina being the one state
referred to.
Down in Atlanta an epidemic of
automobile thieves seems to have
broken out and a recent order was
issued by the police chief to automobile
owners to arm themselves and
when the robbers stepped on their J
running boards to demand cash 6r '
their cars, to shoot to kill.
Monday Chief Sturdivant, of At- 1
lama, complained that "As fast as
we put them (the running board robber-.)
on the, chaingang the governor
or the prison commission turns them
out. However, we can catch them |
again and put them back so that the ,
prison commission and the governor
can turn them out again."
In South Carolina the governor j
turns criminals out of the peniten- j
tiary, and some of them return to j
their crimes as the hog -does to the1
mire. The latest example was that j
of a released wife murderer who attacked
a woman with a knife, or other j
cutting weapon, a few days ago, inflicting
almost a score of wounds from j
which she died. It would be an easy
matter to cite other cases of criminals
who have been released from
the state prison and almost immediately
began to commit crimes similar
to those for which they were Convicted,
By the way, what has the Legislature
done with the bill to restrict
the pardoning power and make it
possible to keep a man in the penitentiary
when the jury and the court
send him there??'.Spartanburg Herald.
YOUR NEWSPAPER
The following was taken from a J
circular sent to retail merchants by
a large wholesale house: "The value j
of your local newspaper to the sue- !
cess of your business cannot be overestimated.
It's worth all the .-up- j
port and cooperation you can give it.
For the newspaper is a mirror reflecting
the life of the community in
which you and your store have^an
important part.. Your advertisement
is the reflection of your store in the
mirror. Everybody .sees it there. If
it is not there, the mirror is dark
where your store should be. You are
there, but you cannot be seen. Your
store is open for business as usual,
but 'out of sight, out of mind.' To
keep in step with the progress of the
community, to gat your share of business,
you must advertise regularly.
Take your newspaper publisher into
your confidence; he can give you valuable
assistance. Establish an advertising
budget. Plan a regular schedule
for your advertisement. It's a
policy that is followed by the most
successful stores; it's an idea thatj
will be profitable for you."?South St.

On the first instant the sale of alcoholic
beverages became legal in the
District of Columbia for the first time
since November 1, 1917, when Washington
was made dry by Congressional
enactment. The saloon is absolutely
banned here under* the new
conditions. Under certain restrict
tions, such as proximity to schools
and churches, licenses are issued to
reataurants, hoteLs and business i
places, generally. There are diffet*- 1
ent kinds of licenses, permitting sales
of hard liquor, or of beer or wine,

cant's wishes, and different fees p're- !

each license.
A Tribute To Walker
John K. Aull, former popular court
stenographer for this circuit, in Tho
State of recent date, paid the following
beautiful tribute to W. T. Walker,
who was born in Camden, but of late
years had became a prominent citizen
of Cqlumbia:
"I know that for a printer who waa
as well beloved as 'Thomey' Walker
you will, on behalf of other printers,
who knew him and loved him, givey1
this brief space to an humble tribute
to his memory. Those of us of the
bftick and rule' are not much here
any morfc; those of us who picked
typo from the case in the days when
ten or twelve thousand 'ems' was
a record, even though we caught on
to the later operation of the linotype
and the other advances in the art of
printing, with which 'Thomey' Walker
kept pace as few of the rest of us
did, are rather thinning out. Those
o# us who 'kicked the job press' are
rather among those who walk somewhat
in a forgotten valley?but, withal,
a glorious valley, where there are
memories and beyond which there are |j
mountain peaks with paths that lead;
we know not exactly where but which
are inviting as we become sometvhat
and rather wistfully tired.
"There is little that we can add to
his record as he wrote it. There is
nothing more except in the words we
may put it, as contrasted with his
overweening modesty. Ho wrote a
piece of. copy to which any ono of the
old regime?and I maintain there was
never a more gallant band?might
well sign 'thirty' and turn it in withthe
consciousness that one had done
the best one could. Editors and reporters
in the afterglow will look it
over and say it was good; printers
'at the case, such as were he and I and
the rest o?f us who are passing, will
prize it.
"After all, 'Thomey' Walker was a
master printer; that, to my mind, and
to the mind of all good printers, is all j
we could say. That includes it all. i
We never looked upon a man as a '
master printer who was not also a |
gallant gentleman."
More than $24,000,000 in gold coin,
gold certificates and bullion was re- j
turned under the Treasury anti- I
hoarding order.
