THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1912. Blind Tigers. fosbl^d situation seems to whfh worse in Beaufort county than ■•Oere else in South Carolina, due s to the large negro population. Igfing the assassination of Con- aenl. R. Cooler, who was killed fol- raid on alleged tigers, a negro, who is supposed to be a violator of the dispensary law, baa made a statement, which is tantamount, to a threat, that any more activity against the whiskey tellers will be followed by more kill ings, That is one of the results of the open violation of the laws of South Carolina. A certain element of a coun try’s citizenship born with a natural disregard and disrespect for law and order. Finding that they can b-eak minor laws and go free, they arc led to commit graver crimes, such as mur- f Zeople gf 5arnw*‘il County, you real- ae that we have a large negro popu.d' tion. They see white people openly violating the law and receiving little or DO punishment. Can we afford to take ehancM on auch a condition of affairs M now exists In Beaufort? Are we to •flow this flagrant violation of our minor laws to lead on to an utter dis regard for all laws? It teems to be the consensus of opin ion that when an election is called that prohibition will be voted out, but that is no reason why we should wink at the present condition of affairs. Those who stand for law and order have the law on their side. Let it be enforced. * i / V / A Good Suggestion. There are some excellent suggestions contained in the article in this week’s totue of The People on the late Major John W. Holmes of honored memory, and we hope that they will b? carried out. Nothing could be more fitting than fo s adorn the walls of the Court House with portraits of our honored dead. They would be, as the Rev. Mr. Jones says, an inspiration to the young er generation. There is, we believe, a history of Barnwell County now in course of preparation and when com pleted and published will be invaluable.' The ptmple also commends Rev. ' Jones’ suggestion that the school dis tricts of the county be named in com- memoration of old Barnwell’s. illus trious sons. In this way their mem ories would be kept in the minds of those who come after them. Who will take the initiative? A Mystery Explained. “Enclosed find $1.25 for renewal, which should have gone before, though I fail to see how an editor can increase ttie size and lower the price. Wishing the successor of my old friend all good lock in his venture,” etc., writes an es- --^uifisadladv subscriber of Blackville. best featureiji^ tQ j ncrease t he size that recon brought aboi£ nd lower the P rice of cases of aepansame because the lar- * t M more room for adver- look.

Th« Primary Dufuuted. Because Governor Blease thinks that “the present auditor at Georgetown is making a very good officer” he sees no reason for making a change and re fuses to commission ’the candidate elected in last Summer's primary. He has also refused 1o commission the new treasurer-elect. Thus the will of a sovereign people, expressed at the ballot box, is defeated by the occupant of The gubernatorial chair. « And yet, when he entered the race for the of fice that he now holds, he pledged himself to abide by the results and TO SUPPORT THE NOMINEES OF THE PARTY. It would seem that too much power is being usurped by the present chief executive and that our so-called Democratic government is bordering closely, for the time being at least, on a dictatorship.

Readers remember the famous (?> Grace affair, and now a report comes from Columbus that a merchant of that city is paralyzed from his waist down as a result of a pistol bullet, which found lodgment in his spine. His wife has been arrested on the charge of assault with intent to murder. The State thought that eagle story one of the best ‘ fish” stories of the season—and yet our esteemed contem porary had nerve enough to publish a yarn al>out an old negro that killed eels by making a cro'-s on the ground and placing the eel firT on one mark and then on the other. That is evidently a or a ••snakey-fish" story. * • Money. If money talks. some folks tell, To most of us It says “Farewell." — Ladies Home Journal And then to others— It's sad but true— It merely mutters, "Howdv do?" Columbia’s attitude in regard to the South Atlantic League reminds us of a little boy who has been unjustly pun- ished. He is forbidden to play with his playmates and can only stand by and see them enjoy their games. About eighty Barnwell people attend ed the reunion at Meyer’ Mill Friday. We certainly do feel sorry for the other twelve hundred and forty-odd who were denied that pleasure. With the pic nic season already Open* ed and the blackberry bushes giving promise of a bumper crop, why should editors and their printers worry about hard times? - If Allendale had been as well repre sented at Meyer's Mill as was Barnwell there wouldn't have been enough peo ple left in the Southside toWn to ’tend the cows. Mexico should have the finest rail ways in the world—the ties are made of mahogany. F«m» Yomr FULL—It Will P«y. Thia is the season of the year when fence building should and does receive most attention. More fences are an absolute necessity to better agriculture throughout the South. Not only are fences necessary for the control of the increasing livestock which must be kept, but they are necessary in order to enable the farmer to obtain the full value of his crops. There is scarcely any crop which does not leave suffi cient stock feed behind in the field after it is gathered to pay good interest on the cost of manufacturing a fence around the field, if this feed could be consumed by good livestock. Again, a crop rotation in which there is one or more years of pasturing or grazing is far superior in soil improvement to the rotation that removes all from the soil. In fact, we must disabuse the popular mind of the impression that crop rotation alone will build up the land rapidly unless something is left on the land or returned to it. These considerations make more fences an absolute necessity togodd farming. One of the greatest obstacles to suc cessful bog raising in the South is the absence of fence. If the corn fields were fenced, the cowpeas, peanuts and soy beans that might be grown in them would reduce the cost of pork prduction and increase the returns from the land, while ait the same time increasing its fertility. For the best use of special grazing crops for hogs, and these must supply the greater part of the hog feed in suc cessful pork production, fences are a necessity. Fortunately, there are many varieties and sizes of woven wire fences which serve this purpose admirably, if well put up, of if used for temporary control of the hogs while grazing these special crops. They may be purchased ot dealers or direct from the makers. While the building of adequate fences is an important and expensive ! improvement, there is no question but any sistem of farming planned for soil improvement will be found much more i effective and profitable if these fences are provided. In planning the equip ment of any farm, fences are of great importance, and something should bo done each year to gradually bring the farm completely under fence. Tins ap pears impracticable to many cotton farmers, and for the strictly cotton' farmer, it ,s imp; actibiv, but m diversitied farmirng. which has the i[j;nrovenK nt considerations, fences, are a necessity, but fortunately a profit- • able one —The Progressive Farmer. I The Wor»e Life. From the Seneca, Mo Dispatch The preacher has a hard time. If his hair is gray, he is old If he is a young man, he hasn't had experience If he has ten c hildren, ho has too many. If he has none, he should have, and isn't setting a good example. If his wife sings in the choir, she is presum ing If she don't, she isn't interested in her husband's work. If a preacher reads from notes, he is a bore. If he speaks extemporaneously, he is not deep enough If he stays at. home in his study, he dosn’t mix enough with the people If he is seen around on the streets, he ought to be at home get ting up ft good sermon. If he calls on some poor family, he is playing to the grandstand. If he calls at the home of the rich, he is an anstocrat Whatever he does, someone could have told him how to do better. He has a fine time living off donations which never come in, and promises that never mature. Next to being an editor, it is an awful life.
