Thursday, October 1, 1914. Bamberg has not yet fallen in line with a "buy-a-bale" club. Nearly all the towns and cities in the State have organized dubs to help out the farmers. It is poor appreciation of the business of the farmers for Bamberg to fail to join in the good cause. The extra session of the South Carolina legislature will cost th-> tax payers a lot of money to no purpose whatever. The cost of the session may reach $75,000. and it will be money absolutely thrown away. There are three propositions to be considered: a stay law, reduction of cotton acreage by statute, and the staying off of the collection of taxes, none of which can possibly be done. A stay law is unconstitutional in the first place, and is too dangerous a */v Kfl oA??iAnxjlv AAnci^or. piupusuiuil IU UC ociivuov W44*;*uv* ed for a moment. We are coming to a bad state of affairs when the legislature will attempt to interfere with contracts made in good faith. We have an idea that the small farmer, the poor white man, will strenuously object to any attempt to''interfere with his God-given right to plant what he pleases and as much or little as suits him. If no taxes are collected the State government will stand a poor chance of borrowing money, in fact the money to be derived from taxes this year x has already been spent and the taxes pledged for money borrowed. Such action would seriously interfere with the credit of the State. In fact, we can see absolutely no use nor excuse for the extra session, and we imagine the whole matter is one entirely of playing politics. The citizens of Orangeburg have Btarted a movement to remove the dispensary constables from that county. There has been considerable discussion over the matter in the newspapers for some time, it being claim / ed that the constables were useless expense as they were not giving service commensurate with the money they were costing the taxpayers. Now the grand jury has recommended that the salaries of these constables be not paid, and the solicitor has taken a hand in the matter and written the dispensary board giving reasons why the constables should not be paid, and the board is to have a meeting and go" into the matter. It is likely that the question will get into the courts. The people of this county are in the same predicament as Orangeburg, and there is considerable dissatisfaction expressed over the fact that two dispensary constables have been stationed in this county for some time, there being two here now, and the taxpayers want to know what they are doing to earn the money they are costing the county board. In other words the people know that there is absolutelv no use for the constables in this county, not even one, much less two, for there is nothing for them to do. Nc matter how competent and energetic they may be. There was no dispensary constable located in this county when the dispensarj was in operation some years ago because there was none needed, and the same condition exists today. If there have been any arrests here by the constables for violation of the dispensary law we have not heard ol them, and we would be glad to be informed if they have made any They have been in this county foi several months and have cost a lo of money, and the taxpayers warn to know what the money is beine spent for. It appears to us that i is time the proper authorities wen taking some steps to remove the con stables from this county and sav< the large sum they are costing.
