Thursday, October 22, 1914.
The use of the split log drag after
the rains greatly improves the roads.
They should be used in Bamberg
county.
It strikes us as being a most dangerous
idea for the State of South
Carolina to go into the money lending
or cotton buying business. Several
bills are being proposed looking
to the issuance of bonds for this
purpose. This will put a debt of
millions upon the State, and whether
the State will ever come out of the
transactions without being the loser
is problematical. The State's debt
now is only about six millions. We
hope the people will think a long
time before tacking twenty-five millions
more to it.
WE HOPE THEY WILL.
P :
The legislature has been in session
now for something more than
a week, and nothing has been accomplished.?Bamberg
Herald.
"This reminds me:" Shortly after
freedom came to the negroes and
their children started to school, the
father of one of the "scholars" said
to his boy the night of his first day,
"Sit down and write me a letter."
The child of course told the old man
that he hadn't learned to write yet.
"Ain't learned to write yit!" 6aid
the old man with disgust. "Ain't
learned to write yit and been to
school all day! If dat's de best you
kin do you better stay at home."
Give the legislature time. If that
body can possibly give the farmers
any relief they will certainly do it,
and they are planning things that
promise good results.
But you must give them time.?
Newberry Observer.
Thp leeislature has our very best
wishes. We trust the legislators will
accomplish something, and we will
certainly give all credit for what
is done. But the fact remains they
cannot legislate any cotton out of
existence. We are confronted by the
fact that there are about fifteen million
bales in sight and demand for
about six million. Figure it for yourself.
The people must work out
their own salvation.
] # ONE WAY OK HELPING.
That the people can help themselves
more than legislative action
can help them is demonstrated
by the fact that one of the largest
flour milling concerns in the country
has adopted the exclusive use of
cotton bags for all the products of
its mills. This one concern, which
manufactures one of the more popular
brands of flour, formerly used
$600 worth of cotton bags each clay,
and $625 worth of bags made of
other materials tnan couon. v\ nen
it became apparent that this country
would be overloaded with cotton on
account of the war in Europe, the
concern adopted the use of cotton
for manufacturing all their bags. The
result is that the company is now
using something more than double
the quantity of cotton than a few
weeks ago.
At present millions of dollars are
being spent for cotton bagging, made
of jute. America does not produce
any jute. We are paying some foraio-n
cnnntrv rm'llinns. for cotton bag
sing. This bagging could very easily
be made of cotton, and this would
mean the consumption of hundreds
of thousands of pounds of cotton not
now being used.
The people should demand of the i
dealers that all goods that can possibly
be wrapped in cotton be pur.
into cotton packages.
The legislatures of the different I
States can. doubtless, help the farmer
in many ways, but the fact remains
that the legislatures, nor congress,
can legislate any cotton out of existence.
WAS FRANK IGNORANT?
This is an Important Point to he I>e- j
cided in Next Appeal.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 1 's.?Counsel
for Leo M. Frank today entered into ,
the final week of preparations for ,
the legal contest which is now re- .
garded as the only barrier between ,
the defendant and the gallows, the ,
motion to set aside the verdict on t
the ground that Frank was not in r
the court room at the time the ver- t
diet was rendered. The point will
come up for argument before the
State supreme court next Monday.
The point is a peculiar one. Frank's
own lawyers waived his presence in
the courtroom, they agreeing with s
the court under the then excited con- t
ditions his life might be endangered.
No complaint was made by Frank.
But after other attempts at a new
trial had failed a new set 01 lawyers
appeared for Frank and entered this
plea. It was much commented on |
at the time that Rosser and Arnold,
his regular counsel, who had waived
his appearance, did not attempt to
protest their own action, but permit- c
ted another firm to enter his plea. .
It is stated, that to win this point ,
Frank must prove that he was ig- ^
norant of his counsel's intent to
waive his appearance and that he c
never gave his personal consent.
A Kuroj>ean View. s
i
It is not only on the operations of
war that a veil has descended so that f
we do not know what is happening a
there. Darkness has descended on t
the work of the builders in society, i
the men and women who in normal c
times endeavor by a thousand ways, a
through art, literature, music, science *
and politics, to unite humanity with I
what is eternally true, beautiful and s
good. On these builders, trying al- i
ways to raise pillars of human r
thougnt fo the heavens, the curtain i
of darkness has now dropped, and
on the illuminated stage of the world 1
only the human animal is doing his f
turn, using all physical and material t
energies against his kind. t
When the Armageddon is ended, a
we wonder whether there will be any i
civilization in Europe. One thing 1
appears certain, that after a long- c
continued war of this magnitude, the t
leadership of the world will have n
passed from the old to the new conti- v
nent, and America will be supreme t
henceforward in the arts, sciences t
and economics over the earlier civili- v
zations. This supremacy of hers t
was perhaps inevitable, but it is cer- t
tain that when this war is ended, the u
United States will be the dominant s
power in the world in almost every j
department where human activity is F
displayed. The alteration of its tar- t
iff policy lately was a preliminary s
athletic exercise of its economic e
limbs before attempting the indus- c
trial conquest of the world. Now, c
all these nations, its industrial rivals, n
have weighted themselves with a r
terrible burden from which a genera- s
tion will not see them released. t
Mr. Well6 is writing in the strain n
of the prophet about the coming al- t
terations in the map of Europe. They t
are of little importance compared a
with the fact that all the economic en- n
ergies, the intellectual powers and as- t
pirations which made for civilization, o
suppressed in Europe, will have made
their home in the new world. The c
sun of humanity is going to rise P
brilliantly in the west, and Europe t
is at the close of its long day, its c
royal domination over the fortunes c
of the world. There seems nothing v
to prevent this except the impossible a
event of a sudden cessation of the t;
European riot and an immediate re- o
turn to the work of civilization.? d

Wild Bullet Struck Infant.
ii
A bullet from a pistol fired by a
Guignard Johnson, colored, passed y
over an eight acre field through the d
walls of his dwelling and entered the t
side of his eight months' old child
seated in her mother's lap. The u
blood from the wound was thrown in- c
to the face of the woman. The wound c
was not regarded as serious Thursday
night when examined by a phv- e
sician a few hours after the accident, a
which occurred on the plantation of
Luther Martin, four miles from
Brookland. ^
Johnson was shooting at a target t
located in a field when the bullet 1'
flew wild and missing the object, t
brought about an accident somewhat
of an unusual nature. v
