BaniwvU B—to Marlboro.
Marlboro county this year made one
hundred dollars worth of cotton for
Virery man, woman and child in the
county. We challenge another county
to show a like record.—Pee Dee Ad
vocate.
We accept the challenge and can
even do a little better than a 1100 aver
age. According to statistics issued by
the Department of Commerce on Janu
ary 1st, 66,446 bales of cotton of 500
pbunds each had, been ginned tn Barn
well County. The census of 1910 gives
this county a population of 34,209. This
divided into 56,446 gives us 1.62, the
average number of bales to each man,
woman and child. We do not know at
what price our contemporary figured
his cotton, but taking 12 l-Z' cents a
pound as an ^average on each 500
pound bale, every man, woman and
child m this county made 1101.25 worth
of cotton in 1913.
Now, there are 9,561 white people in
the county, only 2;399 of whom are of
voting age. Furthehnore, Marlboro
boasts long and loud of her superior
cotton lands, which bring, in some in
stances, many times the price of Barn-
wall County lands. You wiH have tofig-
Last week we quoted the opinion 'of
Aristotle on the subject of Gambling.
Below we give the substance of a re
markable mandate'somewhat recently
set forth by. the President, of China.
Next Week we will set forth what
the Koran (the. Mohammedan Bible)
has to say; and all with the intent to
show that the disapprobation of Gamb
ling is nOt restricted to a few supersen
sitive persons, put that the practice is
universally recognized to be reprehen
sible.
‘ The recent Chinese mandate read as
follows: -,
“Gambling is an extremely harmful
pursuit. By it time is wasted, business
is impeded, families are ruined and,
what is worse still, the minds of those
persons who indulge in it are weaken
ed. Its deletious influence undermines
all virtues aud breeds corruptioa. I ,
am amazed to find that at present (his
baneful habit hasafootteg in the offi
cial c ire lea as well as amidst the people*
This practice , was started during the
last years of the Ching Dynasty, when
the Manchu aristocrats and high offi
cials threw off all restraint Trie ex
ample set by those in high stations was
followed by th "
find it hard to
awa;
the people, and to-day we
‘ make the people break
ray from this pernicious pursuit ^
"Hearn that many officials are still
addicted to this evil habit. Are they not
aware of the heavy responsibilities de
volving upon their shoulders? Anew
nation has just been founded and the
vast amount of constructive work of
this new nation requires all the enengy
her officials can give. After office
may l
the endeavor to advance one’s knowl
edge and cultivate virtue."
We learn that "Insthictions are given
the police for the arrest of all offenders
no matter what posts they hold, and to
confiscate the money with which they
gamble, to be used te-rewardthe polio
and gendarmerie."

record of the banner county of the
State. In the meantime, we would
suggest to prospective buyers of farms
that they investigate the lands in Barn
well before settling elsewhere.
Make Edgefield Pay.
Edgefield is a grand old county,
rich in traditions, the native county of
many illustrious Carolinians, but that
fact should not exempt her delinquent
taxpayers from the penalty provided
by law.
A controversy has arisen between
the Comptroller General and N. B.
Hazel, auditor of Saluda Connty, as to
whether or not delinquents in Saluda
should be made to pay the penalty,
when it has been shownTrom the rec
ords that no penalty has been added
to Edgpfieto within the past few years,
txcepi on executios.
Barnwell is a grand old county, is
rich in traditions and has given many
illustrious sons to the State. So have
other counties. But penalises are add
ed and collected in this county.
There should be no discrimination.'
If the officers of Edgefield have been
derelict to the performance of their
duty, they or their bondsmen should
be held responsible for the full amount
of the unpaid penalties. "What's
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
ganden" Make Edgefield pay.
With one breath the Allendale Herald
*■
exclains: "With beautiful wide streets,
handsome residences, health unsuri
passed and numerous other advantages
we do not wonder that this is a most
desirable place to live in!” In the
next it whispers: "There is a lot of criti
cism about the dirty appearance of the
streets,” etc. Moral: Move to Barn
well.
