War, what is now York County,

lack of any apociflfe name it was
<lubl>ed "The New A^JMisit'on/' Everybody
has known about it, during
.the last 75 years through the rei
doubtable and belligerent Yorkville
Enquirer. Talk about the little Calhoun
Times; it is a cooing' dove by
the side of The Enquirer. Omitting
the brimstone in numerous sub-heads
in a column and a half spiel about
the State Convention, these are the
top lines verbatim et Heriatim, et

"Chairman Sapp In Out.
Ruthless Ring of Politicians Hethroned
At Their Waterloo.

Overthrow of Rule by an Old Ring of
Selfish Politicians Who Stopped at
Nothing to Gain Ends." -Calhoun

THE UNIVERSAL DRAFT
Credit is due the American Legion
for pushing its demand that, in the
event, of war, there shall be a universal
draft, aimed at money as well as
men.
There is no reason why contributions
to a war chest should be placed
. on a voluntary basis when people are
being fo: red to" risk t heir lives in
'he trenches.
The universal draft, in addition,
would be a deterrent, discouraging
he profiteers ami (lie grafters who
invariably u<e war for purposes of
personal enrichment.
Every sane person hopes, of course
'hat -ome means can be discovered
of preventing another catastrophic

-.hould place not only the lighting
but the financing on a basis of absolute
equity.- Trenton, N. Times.

The recent statement in Tho News
and Courier that a few South Carolina
weekly newspapers have earned
a "modest fortune" calls for some
.sort, of explanation, lest some poor
brother be classed, ius Doctor Dreher
so aptly says, as a "plate." We are
frank to say. without aspwsion on I
our fourth estate friend**, that wo

HUNT FOK ASSOCIATE JUSTICE
Observing that "the supreme court
would probably be notably improved
were the people informed in the approaching
summer whom they were
supporting for the two seats when
they are voting fpr members of the
general assembly," l>r. W. W. Ball
proposes Col. I. H. Hunt of this city
for one of these positions.
"If it were known," says Doctor
Hall, "that Newberry, would send a
delegation to the general assembly
resolved to vote for I. H. Hunt *he
people of South Carolina would know
that an accomplished lawyer of high
character vyould be proposed for one
of the vacancies.

POLITICAL FORECASTS"""
Down Camden way the other afternoon,
Views and Interviews listened
in as several Camden gentlemen <iiscussed
state politics and especially
the oncoming gubernatorial campaign.
One expressed the opinion that
Kershaw or at least Camden, would
go strong for Johnston, with Blease
getting a large part of the older
voters' support. Manning would not
count much, and neither would
Pearce of Columbia, unless he would
get the vote of the merchants. Sloan
was not counted upon to cut much
ice and neither was Cooke.
However, it was pointed out, that
in the event Johnston and Blease are
in the second or run-ofF primary,
Blease's chances would be bettered
decidedly, the theory that Charleston
?-counting Charleston?would prefer
Mr. Blease to Mr. Johnston; not that
Charleston loves Mr. Blease, but likes J
him more than it does Mr. Johnston. J
Three or four of the party engaged
in the discussion, however, said1
they would vote for Mr. Blease. And
that's that.?Yorkville Kmpiircr.

Capital Observations
(Sp^Clftl C/orreapondnff )
Washington, May 29.?-Following
the aottlement of the threatened
strike of employes in automobile factories
throughout the country and
the adjustment of the wage dispute
between the railroads ami the rail
workers the prospect looked promising
for industrial peace. A different
phase is now apparent, and
strikes are in progress in several
states, some of them quite serious.
It is held that such disturbances are
evidence of better conditions far
ms employment is concerned, but be
that as it may, the public would be
better pleased without such evidence.
At Toledo, Ohio, in particular, there
have been clashes resulting in a number
of casualties between strikers
and the authorities endeavoring to
protect those who desired to work
under conditions offered. li is understood
that trouble was fomented
largely by communists taking advantage
of the confused situation, and
steps are being taken to suppress the
lawless elements. The labor question
is causing the administration seI
rious uneasiness. There is a meas!
ure before congi'Osa known as the
j Wagner bill which is being pressed
.toward enactment and which holds
out the prospect of relief, as believed
by its advocates. It provides for
the establishment of a national industrial
adjustment board, but
whether such a plan will work successfully
is problematical, as it does
not. provide for compulsory arbitration,
and could not so undertake as
j union labor would be uncompromisingly
opposed to such a scheme. The
present^ administration has gone
much farther in yielding to organized
lahor than ever before conceded.
The national recovery act provided
for "collective bargaining," and guaranteed
workers the right t<> organize j
without coercion. With that foothold
union labor, hie been endeavoring to
control *lw entire lahor^iehl by organizat
ion. an.I (o force out workers |
a no as!! not cooperate, threatening
-:rike> to hamper industrial concerns;
a Inch will not agree to employ only i
union labor. It looks like sooner or
later there may be a light to the
finish between the two elements.

The Lite rary bigest, a high grade
weekly magazine, has in the past
conducted several inquiries, ordinarily
railed "straw votes," regarding various
conditions and coming elections.
Its forecasts have been remarkably
accurate as proven by subsequent occurrencies.
It is now conducting a
poll upon the question as to whether
t he respondent approves on the whole
the first year of the Roosevelt administration,
replies having been requested
from I ">,000 representative
men and women throughout the nation.
The answers tabulated so far j
have come from the north-eastern'
part of the I'nitcd States, and have'

A few hundred bonus veterans the
pnst week or so have been encamped
in and around Washington with a
view of pressing for the enactment
of the bill paying them off in full of
all bonus claims before the adjournment
of congress. Representatives
of the (XV circulated among them
with offers of enlistment, and a majority
accepted. The greater part of
the rest are leaving for home upon (

was tendered, so the demonstration j
has about played out. A few hmd- !

a .i' d par d.e y ij
bly, in our judgment. The Herald
and News is pleased to add its endorsement
of Colonel Hunt to that of
the News ami Courier, which for
years has advocated higher standards
for our judiciary.
It is not necessary for this newspaper
to dwell on Colonel Hunt's fitness
for this responsible and exacting
position. He has been practicing
law vvltb consistent success for
many years. Frequently there have
been assigned to him for determination
cases by Federal judges, and'
none of his decisions have ever been
! amended or reversed. Some- ten
! years a#o, he was appointed to conduct
hearings ami decide the issues
in an action ^brought in Saluda to
prevent tho discharge of a bankrupt,
i His opinion in this case was so thorough
and clear that it was printed1
in the Federal Reporter.
; Just a few months ago Cohmel
Hunt rendered his decision to Judge
Watkins in the famous G. & F. railroad
suit, which was very intricate
since it involved the dealings of
tho litigants in projects, amounting
to many millions of dollars. Judge
Watkins adopted tho report without
amendment. This G. & F. case,' in
developing which documents by the
armful and ntuch tostimony by technicians
were utilized, shows conclusively
that Colonel Hunt has an
incisive mind that goes to the heart
of a problem and, having grasped it,
tho faculty to set forth his findings
and conclusions with such clarity as
to impress the most learned jurists.
It goes without saying that a judge
I on the Federal bench, lacking the
I time to go fully into a matter of
| great importance and responsible for
! it.s just determination, would bo exItremely
reluctant to accept as his
own the opinion of another lawyer
i unless that opinion were obviously
right and just. Colonel Hunt has al>??
acted as special associate justice
and a number of times as special
referee by appointment of state
judges. He is therefore unusually
well equipped and trained to decide
matters of law about which confusion
has arisen in the inferior courts.
Colonel Hunt is more than "an accomplished
lawyer of high .character,"
to use Doctor Ball's phrase. He
is a devoted citizen of the state, and
has given liberally of his time and
means to advance its interests. Of
a modest and unselfish nature, he
will not be elevated to the bench unless
his friends shall bestir them selves
to that end. Entertaining a
high opinion of tho judiciary and
holding vory positive ideas about
how those who aspire to s&rve on it
should conduct themselves when an
election is pending, Colonel Hunt, we
'feel sure, would not make an active
effort to obtain the honor. We happen
to know that he holds firmly to
the opinion that "the place should
seek the, man." ^hi? is entirely
proper since there could not then
arise even the presumption of an obligation
to any man or group.
At this time, with the exception
of the senator, it is not known who
will constitute our delegation in the
next general assembly, but, if they
be men of discernment, we feel that
Doctor Ball's suggestion will excite
them to spiritesl effort, not, primarily,
to reward a man whom they
highly esteem but to place on the
supreme bench a man whose achievements
and ideals make sure he will
servo the state with fidelity and
I distinction.?Newberry Herald and
