President Woodrow Wilson’s address on Tuesday of last week was neither the longest nor the shortest, but it served to show the American people what quality of man they have exalted to the highest office in their gift.

The “Riff-r^ff of the South.” The Augusta Chronicle is exactly right when it says that “if Major Syl vester made this ‘riff-raff’ remark, he writes himself down an ignoramus and an ass." In testifying before the Senate inves tigating committee in regard to the un seemly conduct of the inaugural crowds kut week in breaking up the suffra gette parade, Miss Alice Paul, a leader in the movement for equal suf frage, said: “He Major Sylvesten told me that the nff-faff of the South would be here for inauguration on account of the Democratic victory, when he opposed our marching on March 3." That the conduct of the crowds was such as to break up the parade and so disgusting that members of the family of the ^tiring President left their places and went home, is a reflection on the entire nation, but that the esti mable (?) Major should cast such an aspersion upon the people of the South is enth^ly uncalled tor and is resented by them. The "riff-raff of the South,” meaning, we suppose, the poorer class of white people, have not the money hardly to buy the necessities of life, Much less go teas inauguration, thanks to the money-grabbing, trust-forming th.

Evison, in which he called attention to certain reports to the effect that the town offi cials were afraid to proceed against the “blind tigers” because of conse quences to their several businesses. I would like to say by way of encour aging said officials, that there are other citizens to be considered besides the operators of the “blind tigers." These others are the law-abiding citi zens, w ho desire also to see the law enforced. The town officials offend them as greatly by not enforcing the law as they do the “blind tiger" peo ple by enforcing it. I used to hear a natural to see references to “Prasi- prominent solicitor in this State say for two years as per bill rendered. 1 congratulate you on the marked im provement shown in The Barnwell People since it was taken over by you.
