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

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.
