Gray, of Abbeville, in tbe case of State va Weston Richey, the “gmllon-a-month” law ia unconstitu tional. Richey waa charged with trans porting liquor and the Court aaid that the act is unconstitutional 4n that interferes with interstate commerce. 'This decision is in line with a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court in a case brought up from Ken tacky,” aays the Abbeville Medium, '‘which decision held in effect ‘that until a State decreed that tbe drinking of whiskey waa a crime the amount that could bo roceivod by an individual for • lawful purpose could not be limited.' Tim Webb-Kenyon law does not give the state the right to limit the quantity received when it ia for lawful purposes hut says 'that whiskey cannot be ship ped from out state to another when ouch liquor is intended by say person to ho uaod ia violation of say law of oach state.' Of course, if the whiskey b po be sold ia violation of law it ia un lawful to receive say aawunt, but the effect of this doeWoo la to knock out our law whoroby it waa Intended to kastt the amount of whiskey that could be roceivod by say individual for any lawful purpose. If he drinks it himself ho can receive any amount desired.” It la to be hoped for the sake of pro- hibition that the State supreme court will not uphold this decision, which would make it much harder to enforce the law, if It did not practically nullify it. It would raise the question as to how much an individual can use for “lawful purposes,” which would create as great a divergence of opinion as the question of “when is a man drunk?” Some individuals can use more for "lawful purposes” than others. It is estimated that the value of the South’s graia crop this year will exceed tbe total value of the most profitable cotton crop ever raised by 9196,000,000 Amazing progress has been made in the production of grain, the total value of which crop in the South is placed at 91,330,388,000 this year. South Carolina increased its yield of corn by over 700,000 bushels. No figures are avajlalle showing the amount of wheat produced in Barn well County, but It «s safe to predict that the acreage will be greatly in creased this fall. There has'been quite a demand in the past few weeks for seed, our farmer friends who used tbe col umns of The People soon disposing of their supply. As we predicted last year, the Euro pean war may be a blessing in disguise .. lor the farmers of the South, teaching them tiie fallacy of the. one-crop plan and leading them to peace, plenty and prosperity via the small grain route, Ail signs point to an era of unprece dented “good times,” but high prices for cotton this fall should not fool far mers into increasing their acreage of the fleecy staple next spring. * Do Triflo* Annoy? What a blessed thing it is that we can forget! To-day’s troubles look large, but a week hence they will be forgotten and buried out of sight. Says one writer: “If you would keep book and daily put down the things that worry you, and see what be comes of them, it would benefit you You allow a thing to annoy you, just as you allow a fly to settle on you and you lose your temper and justify your self by being thrown off your balance by causes which you do not trace out. But if you could see what it was that threw you off your balance before breakfast, and put it down in a little book, and follow it up and follow out, and ascertain what become* of it, you would aee what a fool you were in the matter.” Tbe art of forgetting ia a blessed art, but the art of overlooking is quite as important. And if we should take time to write down the origin, progress and outcome of a few of our troubles, it would make us so hamed of the fuss we make over them that we should be glad to drop such things and bury them at once in eternal forgetfulness.
