Suppose Tolbert Had Run? * \ , The seven members of the National House of Representatives from South Carolina are seeking renomination in the Democratic primaries. r If a citizen of the seventh, third, or other district this year announce l himself a candidate in the general election this year, repudiating the ^ Democratic primary and denouncing i it as fraudulent, would the congressman elected think it fair that this x citizen be admitted as a Democratic T candidate against him in 1924? E - The Democratic party in South ( ' Carolina is in no danger of sudden disruption. The danger is from "boring from / within."

July 28.?Two negroes, Simon Pattern and William Robinson, ^ were killed by lightning near Ulmers yesterday afternoon, according to in- si formation reaching Allendale today. a The two negroes with two other ^ negroes, who were knocked uncon- is scious by the bolt, were working in n a field when the storm broke and s< thinking that it was to be only a si passing summer shower, took refuge C under a tree. The lightning struck * the tree, killing two of the four ne- 0 ormQc? f + nr?r?in or r?t V) DTC 3 b* vvo auu oiuuuiu^ buv I The Public Pays. p a If anyone doubts the oft-repeated a assertion that the public pays for j strikes let him buy a ton of coal. Here t< in midsummer with cold weather a B good fcay off soft coal is retailing in t) Greenville for $12 a ton. Dealers = are forced to pay $6 to $8 a ton for the coal at the mine wheras the price before the strike was $1.50 and $2. The dovetailing of the railroad and tc coal strike has produced a situation a: which may cause cause coal to go to n: Si a price even higher than the w^r peak. The reserve supply is less o than one-sixth what it was in April s< and it was not unduly high at that ^ time. - TTT1*?^ if rv\o f f aw if r\AAr vr* or\ YV llct L UUC3 It luailci II puui uitu ? who can scarce make ends meet ^ must dig down into their pockets to the extent of $15 or $20 a ton for j coal? Who cares if babies freeze? Why shouldn't the coal industry be ! paralyzed as long as the public foots e the bill? No matter wh^> is in the oi right the public does the paying and never fails to pay handsomely. More than that, it suffers anxiety and in- b, convenience, perhaps physical pain. r< But the public has no part in labor 11 controversies. It is told so every time it asserts its voice. When gov- ernment appoints a duly constituted X tribunal toYepresent the people war T is precipitated upon that body. The public bas no right to representation; ^ its function is to pay. - w Not until the average citizen goes hi ! to lay in his winter, supply of coal ^ ! does he realize what imposition is q | done him. His rights he finds have tc ! been trampled under. Even if coal ^ : goes no higher than it is now he dis covers that he has to pay $20 more for his supply than he did last winter?a tax put upon him for coal that is not mined. But if he raises a protest he is told to shut his mouth, d that an industrial dispute is an affair I for the belligerents only. < imt * Q The Three Wise Men. ^ ai The Three Wise Men are Stop, Si L^ok and Listen. Approximately 1,800 persons are ^ Killed on ranroaa graue- urussmgs ^ throughout the country each year ol and about 5,000 sustain painful and ?crippling injuries. In the last thirty C( years the couptry's population has in- C creased only 68 per cent., while fatal w crossing accidents have increased c< 345 per cent, and injury cases have increased 652 per cent. About 75 per cent, of the persons killed and injured in these deplorable railroad ]_ crossing accidents are occupants of automobiles. There are at present 251,000 railroad grade crossings in the United ^ States. To eliminate all of these i in favor of overhead or underground tl crossings would require a sum of ? money in excess of twelve billion, tl five hundred million dollars. Con- b) stant work is being done in this di- tl rection, and 300 grade crossings ^ were eliminated in 1919, but even at J, this rate it would take 629 years to ti abolish all the crossings of the coun- t< try. J The only solution to the problem is in safety education. A railroad p crossing, no matter whether or not it t< is protected,* is a place of danger where no chances must be taken. If | you are driving a car, slow down be- n fore approaching every railroad " crossing, look carefully both ways ? before entering upon the tracks, and do not proceed until you have made \ sure that no train is approaching a from either direction. If a train is n coming?Wait! Do not attempt to cross ahead of it. >Iany lives have ^ been snuffed out because the driver 0 of a car thought he could beat the A train to the crossing and the race e ,. S3 was a tie. % , d Remember that Stop, Look and Listen are the Three Wise Men. SJ *? ? w Bees Violators Prohibition Law* a Ci B Bee bootleggers that manufacture alcohol-flavored honey are the latest violators of the Volstead act in Clatsop county, Oregon. County Agricultural Agent McMindes asserts that since so many stills have been oper- t; ated in the county, quantities of fermented mash have been dumped in ~ isolated spots and bees feed on the mash. As a result the contents of some of the hives are highly flavored, < according to the county agent. i "SECURE COAL NOW." ituation Serious, Dial Thinks, in Is suing Warning to Carolinians.
