THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1913. M Con*iat«ficy, Thou Art a Jewel.” It is not the policy of The People to abuse any man or set of men and we do not intend to indulge in that prac tice now, but we feel called upon to take issue with the chief executive as to his statements in regard to the en forcement of the dispensary law, made last week, however futile our comments miv be. So far as the discharging of the con stables is concerned, we do not see where that matters much one way or the other, as they apparently did little mort than collect their salaries and in at I Mat ona Instance jsholesale graft was charged against them Thu action on the part of Governor Bleaae followed the decision of the Supreme Court handed down last week in regard to the Webb law, m uhirh the ('ourtfheld put whiskey shipped into the Stale fur private use cannot be seized The governor avails himself of the oppor tunity to place the blame on the Court for the non-enforcement of the div panaary law, saying that Ms own hands are now tied, thods croodile tears be cause, he aays. the Supreme Court won't support him in upholding the law and declare* that now “no power on earth can enforce the dispensary law In this State.'' As s matter of fset, we do nut see where the decision of the Supreme Court has in any way affected the sit uation in South Carolina The Webb Act is described as a “passive" measure and was designed to aid those prohibi tion States that have laws against the shipment of intoxicating liquors into their territory. South Carolina having no such law against shipments for per sonal use, as we tee it the Webb Act failed to affect it one way or the other We atill have the same laws against the illegal sale of whiskey that we had be fore the passage of the Webb Act. If under those laws, whiskey constables have been necessary to their proper enforcement heretofore, why won’t they be just as necessary after the first of June? It seems to us that the state ment given out by the governor rather encourages the blind tigers in the be lief that they can now sell liquor and getaway with it—that they are abso lutely immune to punishment. Governor Bleaae, however, entirely overlooks the fact that he himself haa encouraged the blind tigers in their lawlessness by his too free use of the pardoning power. We venture the statement that there is scarcely a coun ty in South Carolina that has not seen men convicted of selling the “O be joy ful” only to be pardoned immediately for their offenses. “Consistency, thou -art a jewel.” The governor thinks that he has seen a chance to play politics—make a grand stand play to the galleries—but sensible men will not be fooled by his action and statements of last week. Officers of the law, don’t let up in your efforts against the blind tigers. .You have the same State laws to back you up that you did a month ago and they are jdst as potent. Governor Blease to the contrary notwithstanding. “Goto it” per hardly experts to separate these South Carolina editors from their free peases, but our ktoa is to put them on record at least.” Good ides. At the same time Brother Knight might take the public into his confidence and tell it how, when and why he got separa ted from his free pass.—Orangeburg Times and Democrat. We have heard it whispered by a rail- a road attorney of Barnwell as to how it happened that Editor Knight is without a pass but we had rather hear his ver sion first-hand. These lawyers are such liars, y’know. CLEMSON COLLEGE EXTENSION WORK Hog Cholera and its Control—How to Recognize It. In addition to symptoms previously described, the examination of the car casses will assist in recognizing cholera. The majority of carcasses show some, if not all, of the following lesions: Skin—Skin of abdomen, inner thighs, and forearms is often red or purple. Small red spots or blotches are found in the fat beneath the skin. Stomach—Membrane lining the stom ach is often inflamed, thickened, and may contain small ulcers. Intestines—Outer covering of intes tines is often covered with red spots and the lining membrane may show similar lesions as well as ulcers. If button-shaped ulcers are found on the lining (usually in the caecum or “blind gut"-, there can he no mistake in diag nosis—the disease is cholera. Spleen or Melt—This is often enlarged and of a darker color than normal. Kidneys—These are often covered with red spots and consequently have the appearance of turkey eggs Lungs—The surface of the lungs mav show red sf>ots and fxjrtions of the lungs may be solidified and of dark color Hog cholera cannot infect a healthy herd of hogs unless the causative agent is carried to that herd from sick hoga , or infected premises The disease may | be spread in many different wa>s and the must common channels through which the disease is spread wnl tie de senhed in the neVt issue .M Powers Caa't Ship GoU Fi.h Druggist R A l>ea*on received the fvllo*ir:g letter last we. k. whi h is self- ' explansUry 1 “I >esr Sir- In replv to vour w ire of I the 7th Inst will sa> weather is too hot 1 to make any shipments of goldfish and season lias closed for said reason, in fall when season will agsm <q>en we' assure you that vour order will receive | prompt and careful attention Verv truly vours, 1 Jos Schlxgheck Mr Deason had advertised that he would give away gold flah with cash purchxaea of Kaxall goods The ship ment waa first delayed on account of the floods in the West and now because the weather is too hot He haa received a large supply of glass bowls and it ia through no fault of his that he cannot supply hia customers, who will natural ly he much disappointed because of the failure of the breeder to fill Mr Deason a order Tsrw Hwraw* P< A smell fanner, a good straight citizen of the Hickory Grave section of Hamp ton county, about eight miles distant from Brunson, lost his only two horses recently from poisoning. Going in the esrlf morning, as usual, to feed hit stock, he discovered his horses down ■nd in a dying condition. Examining the troughs to see if they had eaten their food of the night before he dis covered a quantity of Paris green pow der in the troughs. Both horses soon died. Tracks of a bicycle wheel were found and followed some 11 or 12 miles i^ito the county of Colleton, where they were lost and no further discovery haa as yet been made. Elwnton Items. Ellenton, S.

M L Garrett, a white man of I^*e County, shot and killed his son-in-law, Aaron Campell, and Campbell's father, John H Campbell, Sunday Garrett was released from the penitentiary last summer after serving two years for having had illicit relations with his daughter, Gertie, who married Camp bell last Friday. Jealousy is said to have been the cause of the double murder. Garrett was captured early Monday morning in a swamp near the scene of the tradedy, to which he had dragged his daughter by her hair. He offered no resistance and was safely lodged in the Lee County jail, although at one time a lynching was feared. Stop Gullies With Bermuda. I bought an old washed-away farm that people laughed at me for buying. 1 paid $700 for it—125 acres. Now I can sell it for C,50Q, but will not take that. Just commence at top and fill down and set grass as you go down and you will stop the soil at the top. I had them that would hide a horse that 1 am now running a machine over. Use Bermuda grass and it will never wash any more. You can cut it for hay and pasture; can’t be beat. But do not sow Johnson grass at all. Just get the roots of Bermuda grass and plant them three feet apart in corn and just keep plowing, you will get a stand. It will come after corn is done and make fine fall pasture.—0. A.
