Supervisor Diamond has constructed
in excellent road from Barnwell' to
Blackville and another from Barnwell
to Dunbarton, but unless they are
given proper attenti<ft they will, in the
course of the next two or three years,
be in as bad condition as they ever
were.
We write this not in any spirit of
criticism, but because we have the
welfare of the county at heart.
raURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30. 1915.
According to a decision rendered by
Judge Frank B. 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. Ufa ia too short
to be worn out In petty worries, fret
tings, hatreds and vexations.

It is dangerous to carry money in your pocket
any time; especially so just now when cotton is
moving freely. The highway robber, the fire
bug, and the fakir avoid people known to bank
their money. Because you may not have suffered
losses at the hands of any of these three is no
reason why your time'may not come next. If
