About the most undesirable job w<
think of just now is being presiden
of Mexico.
Old Man S. L. Drag is a might;
good friend to the people if he i
encouraged a bit with a good pai
of mules and a driver.
When a good many people wh<
vote prohibition quit drinking liquo
then possibly a law prohibiting thi
sale of whiskey can be enforce*
reasonably well.
No town without an adequate sup
ply of good water can offer invitini
opportunities lor the location of in
dustries and the investment of mone;
by outsiders within the town.
The recent special term of cour
was in session two weeks and trie:
four cases, if we are not mistaken
Such business methods as this wil
soon bankrupt any county. Let th<
thinking people rule!
It is time our county affairs wen
being put on a business basis, an*
relief brought to a people alread;
overtaxed. Give the people a chance
A salary system for all county officer
would do mucn to relieve present uuu
ditions.
When prohibition can and will b(
enforced as well as any other lav
on the statute books, then we wil
be ready for it. Every law is bourn
to be violated to a greater or less ex
tent, but prohibition has always beei
worse than a farce in Bamberg.
r Every taxpayer in the count;
should ask himself the question
How long would a private busines
keep out of bankruptcy if its affair
were managed as the affairs of no
^ only Bamberg but practically ^ver;
county in the State are managed? I?
it not time that the people who fur
nisli the m6ney to run the county government
should have a voice in it
management?.
Something should be done in Bam
berg to protect the people from burg

have been two stores burglarized am
several other attempts. Finding tha
they have been successful in tli
small burglaries already committed
burglars will become more brazen
Let the town put on a sufficient num
ber of night police to patrol th
town properly.
If the representatives from Bam
berg county in the general assembl
want to really do something whic
will be of benefit to an already ta
burdened people, let them put ever
office in the county on a salary basis
with all fees to go into the count
treasury. They should also take ou
road working system out of politic!
If the county supervisor had a teri
of four years, or better still, was ai
pointed by the governor, we'll wai
rant conditions would soon be in
proved.
It strikes us that the present wj
terworks of Bamberg could be e:
tended without a great deal of e:
pense to the town. This would ?
least insure the people with a plent
ful supply of water, which is lackin
at present. Along with this extei
sion, a system of sewerage could t
installed at a minimum at the sam
time. With an adequate system (
waterworks and sewerage, the tow
would be fifty per cent, more invi
ing to strangers to make this plat
their home. The health of the tow
needs sewerage, and no argument <
all is needed for a more satisfactoi
system of waterworks than the tow
now has. The present status speal
for itself.
j PROHIBITION".
= This is being written before th
hearing by the senate committee o
e the State-wide prohibition bill. tin
n is the bill providing for an electio
l" on the question, and we have no ide
g
.. what will be done, but our goo
k Iriends, the prohibitionists, are fixin
a lor the elevation of another fello
^ like the former governor. The pet
e pie of South Carolina are not read
t- for prohibition, and will not be unt
members of the different branch*
'' of the church quit drinking whiske
e and voting for prohibition. Th
question should be made an ecoin
P mic one, leaving the moral issu
aside, and men like the present rej
y presentative of the anti-saloon leagu
s in this State should be put aside. \Y
j* have no quarrel with the Rev. M
u Harley and nothing but the kinde:
c, feelings for him, but he has done th
? cause of prohibition much harm, an
? will continue to do so as long as h
- holds his present position. Ther

i- can oe no question out uiai me iun
| ing of the prohibition question o
the people four years ago resulted i
s the election of Blease and a cons<
e quent orgy of lawlessness and scar
dal. We honestly believe such a cor
, dition will be repeated if the questio
r is again brought to the front. \V
Q are opposed to the graft in the di:
? pensary system, which everybody wh
has any sense knows is there, alway

5 there, even if it can't be proven, Li
= prohibition would be a hundred time
worse in our opinion. Conditions i
t Bamberg were scandalous under pre
hibition and good men stood by an
saw these things go on without an
y attempt to stop them. For our pai
s we want to see no more prohibitio
r in Bamberg if it is to be of the typ
we have always had and we ar
candid enough to say so, no matte

r There are many ol our good friend
e who are the strongest sort of proh
i bitionists. both in practice and prir
ciple, and we regret very much t
differ from them, but it cannot b
" helped. They aref honest in thei
? convictions and'all we ask is that th
" same privilege be accorded us. W
' had rather live ten. years under dis

of Bleaseism, but the masses of th
j peoile in South Carolina are no
ready for prohibition and we are sur
j this is the condition which will con
front us if a State-wide prohibitio:

law is put into effect. Prohibitio
is a beautiful theory and a bette

he attended religious services in th

preme court justice. Abel I. Smitl
r one of Thaw's attorneys, said t<
s- night:

for Thaw, it is probably we will mak

attorneys, John B. Stanchfield, Mo

PLANTING GHAIX.

it
n Washington, Jan. 22.?The acre;a
age planted to oats last fall in cotton
d States exceed that of the preceding
? year by nearly 2.000,000' acres, and
w the increase in Southern wheat acre3*
age was almost as great, the departy
nient of agriculture announced to31
night. The department's figures folJS
low:
y Planted in oats, fall of 1913, 2,455,000;
1914, 4,355,000.
3* Planted in wheat, fall of 1913, 5,ie
459,000; 1914, 7,271,000.
3" The wheat and oat increase, the
department said, appears to have
e been more than 10 per cent, of the
acreage planted to cotton last year.
3t Reports to the department indicate
e an intention on the part of Southern
d planters to considerably increase the
e acreage of the 1915 spring planting

e HOUSE FOIl ItEPEAL.
e '
,r Votes 4 to 1 to I jido Work of Social
Session in October.
s
i_ Columbia, January 25.?The house
[. of representatives voted tonight four
0 to one for repealing the cotton aeree
age reduction act passed at the sper
cial session of the general assembly
e last October. The advocates of roe
pealing the measure declared that a
large majority of th farmers wished
01 his done. The warmest debate of the
e present session followed. By a vote
,t of 81 to 22 the house refused to
e strike out the enacting words of the
. repealing bill and then sent it to
n third reading.
n The cotton acreage reduction law
r which the house voted to repeal proe
vided that not more than one-third
e of each farmer's lands actually under
e cultivation may be planted in cotton.
L_ It was passed at the extraordinary
e session of the legislature last Octos
ber.
d The house, after it passed to third
s reading the bill to repeal the cotton
,t acreage reduction statute, adjourned
f until 10 tomorrow,
e To Regulate Liquor,
n The house tonight, in a whirle
w-ind, without a word of debate, protest
or argument, passed the WarrenBoyd
bill, which is regarded as a
. companion bill Jo the State wide prohibition
referendum. The bill undertakes
to regulate shipments of
all liquors in the State. The bill proposes
to apply in the strictest man
" ner the terms of the Webb law as to
* 'shipments of liquor either into or out
s of -the State. Anyone ordering or
,v receiving not exceeding one gallon
e of liquor must get a permit from the
clerk of court, giving names and
e time and quantity of liquor. Not
e more than one permit can be issued
in any one calendar month, accordn
ing to the bill. A copy of all permits
for bringing liquor into the State
l" shall be open for inspection. No
r amendment whatever was offered on
s- the floor of the house.
jy.V Session of House.
y The house spent an hour today
d clearing up its Calendar of thirdreading
bills and then at the dinner
a period receded from business until
5_ evening.
:r The most important action was
e that the house by a vote of 47 to 32
recommitted to the ways and means
if committee .Mr. Liles's bill, which un11
dertook to change the penalty law
1_ for the non-payment of taxes so that
after this year tnere would be a
flat 5 per cent penalty instead of a
cumulative fine. Mr. Moore, of Abbeville,
and Mr. Toole, of Aiken
:e made the chief fight on the proposed
ls change of the penalty and Mr. Liles
,s defended the bill witn tne reasons
r" that prompted its introduction and
5t the favor of the committee. Tht
'e house, however, recommitted the bill
which, under ordinary circumstances
y? is unfavorable.
