ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, January 25, 1917.
Colonel Roosevelt says Wilson's
peace speech before congress was
nothing but grandiloquence. But
we are glad that it was Wilson's
grandiloquence instead of Teddy's
bombast and braggadocia.
The legislature has begun to wrestle
with the liquor legislation. There
are a number of liquor bills before
the assembly, and doubtess some of
them will be enacted. Mr. Riehey,
floor leader of the Blease forces, has
a bill to proniDit tne importation ui
any whiskey or other intoxicants,
and there are other measures restricting
the amount allowed. We
are very much afraid that a bonedry
bill would do the very thing
which the prohibitionists are working
against; that is, cause a reaction,
and result in the reestablishment of
dispensaries or other means of legal
sale of whiskey.
We understand that the State
warehouse has fifteen thousand bales
of cotton stored. The State of South
Carolina last year appropriated the
sum of $15,000 to help support the
State warehouse. We are not prepared
to oppose the warehouse system,
but we can certainly see no
reason why the State should have to
pay a dollar per bale to store .the
cotton of private citizens. If the
warehouse can be made self-sustain
ing, maKe it so; n not, men some
change should be made. And we
should like to know how much good
the storing of 15,000 bales of cotton
has done, anyway.
Everybody wants good roads, but
the main trouble seems to be that 1
very few want to pay for them. We
will never have good roads until the
people make up their minds that
. the roads are worth spending money
to get; and it takes a lot of money
at that. A few thousand dollars
looks like a lot of money, but a few
thousand goes a mighty short distance
when it comes to the building
of permanent roads. This county
may be able to get a system of modern
highways by taxing automobiles
and perhaps other vehicles, and we
hope it can; but it is our opinion
that th^ people of the county will
have to go a whole lot deeper in their
pockets than the mere paying of a
vehicle tax before we get the roads
' the county needs.
/ JACOB A. RIIS.
The Inspiration for His Great Work
Came When He Was a Boy.
I
That Jacob A. Riis got his first inspiration
to attack the tenement
house problem while he was still a
boy in Denmark is said to be one of
the statements in an article on the
famous reformer, contributed by
Mary R. Parkman to the January St.
Nicholas. It seems that in the town
of Ribe, where he was born and
; spent his youth, there was a grim
! building called Rag Hall, a ramshac
kle horror of a house filled with dirty
gray-faced children. Riis's imagination
began to work on that building,
and the first time he received1
money for Christmas from his father,
who was the town schoolmaster,
he ran over to Rag Hall and divided
it with one of the families there.
The twelve-year-old boy little
thought that the great adventure of
his life really began that day at Rag
Hall. But years after, when he went
about among the tenements of New
York, trying to make^ things better
for the children of Mulberry Bend
and Cherry street, he remembered
where the long journey had begun.
Greater Than Diplomacy.
Henry Van Dyke resigns as minis
ter to The Hague that he may have
time to write. We have many men
who could serve us acceptably in
Holland, but there are too few with
the ability to produce a story like
"The Other Wise Man."
One such story as this is worth
more to the world than a dozen diplomatic
triumphs. When this great
war, the outbreak of which deprived
Mr. Van Dyke of tie leisure which
he expected to enjoy, is forgotten or
remembered only as a horrible nightmare,
"The Other Wise Man" will
be on the reading table of the devout
and in the libraries of those who
like literature for its own sake.
The whilom Princeton professor of
English proves by his resignation
that he has a proper appreciation of
the relativity of values.?Philadelphia
Evening Ledger.
Her Qualifications.
The village butcher was telling his
wife about the new summer visitor.
"She came into the shop today,"
he said enthusiastically, "and I can
tell you she's a real lady, brought up
select and exclusive. She don't know
one cut o' meat from another,- nor
veal from mutton."?New York
Herald.
ASSEMBLY MAKES PROGRESS.
(Continued from page 1, column 4.)
There is no certainty as to who will
be elected. Naturally the impression
is that the final result will be between
the leaders in the two first ballots?Col.
\Y. G. Smith, of Orange
burg, and John J. McMahan, of Columbia.
Mr. McLaurin's name is still in the
limelight, although he voluntarily resigned
and his resignation has been
formally accepted. His friends insist
on voting for him.
One of the unusual bills of the session
comes from Mr. Ellis. He has a
bill which makes it a misdemeanor to
engage in cock fighting. His little
bill provides:
Section 1. That section 393, Columell.
Criminal Code. 1912, be
amended by striking out the whole
of said section, and inserting in lieu
thereof the following: "Section 393. ]
It shall be a misdemeanor for any!
person to engage in, or be present at,
cock fighting in this State, and any j
person found guilty shall be fined not;
exceeding one hundred ($100) dol-j
iars or imprisonment not exceeding
thirty days."
Sec. 2. This act shall take effect!
immediately upon its .approval, and
any acts or parts of acts inconsistent
therewith are hereby repealed.

HOLDS FINAL REVIEW.
Officers Expect Troops to Move
Northward This Week.
El Paso. Jan. 20.?Although no official
information has been given out
here regarding the expected withdrawal"
of troops from Mexico, army
officers of this district say they expect
the movement to begin early
next week. These officers said that
Gen. Pershing held a final review
yesterday at El Valle, his southernmost
point, preparatory to the withdrawal
of the troops there to Colonia
rcihinn It will rennire four davs for
them to move from the El Yalle outpost
to field headquarters at Dublan.
The actual movement over the border
is not expected to start until later
as it will be necessary for the surplus
supplies and baggage to be
brought out by the motor truck
trains which have already left Columbus,
X. M.t for the south. Two
weeks will be required to move all
pf the troops to Columbus, it was estimated.
Five cars of merchandise
from the Colonia Dublan army stores
already have been loaded at Casas
Grandes for shipment to the border.
The Second South Carolina Infantry,
Ohio and Kentucky troops expect to
be included in Major Gen. Funston's
latest order for the return of National
Guard troops from this part of the
border.
but with a proviso that \\here a loan
of not more than $50 is made the
rate may be as high as 10 per cent.
