SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1922. A campaign is on in this county to got the cotton growers to join the cooperative marketing association. We understand that not as many are uniting with the organization sis should do so. It is perhaps th ln\>t move yet made towards fair prices and sensible marketing. We cannot .->ee how any grower can afford to stay out of the movement. It cannot hur: you; it may do you great good. Indeed, since practically all other producers are united in such an organization, it is greatly to the disadvantage of the cotton grower tj stay out of such an organization. Governor Harvey, in a speech be fore the regular meeting of the Darlington Kiwanis Club Thursday, appealed to the law-ab'.ding citizens oi the state to do their utmost to aid officers in their fight against the crime wave. We believe he is correct in saying that a good proportion of the responsibility for the prevalence of crime in the state rests at the door of the "socalled law-abiding citizens." He said: "The people expect the chief executive to be firm, but forget to Lk firm themselves." He is correct also, vhen he says: "Many good citizen sign petitions to have criminals pardoned and so 'pass the buck' to the governor." It is a notorious fac; that men, otherwise thoughtful and conscientious, will sign almost anything, in the form of a petition, thu* is stuck under their noses. Let a man be convicted in this state, and so soon as sentence is passed, a petition is going the rounds to have him pardoned qr paroled. As soon as the "law "Has' fimclTorted, a determined effort is made to undo its work. Men who know next to nothing about the merits of the case, acting upon imnulse born of svmnathv. cro about iO kill the effect of the law. The fact that little or no knowledge of the casn is possessed by the signer deters him not one little bit. It is so easy to gc' rid of the matter; just sign your name; it will not do any harm, anyway, it is "up to the governor." That is the way they often reason. Othershrink from signing through fear o bringing upon themselves the ill will of friends of the convicted man, ot through cowardly fear that to refuse to sign may injure their business. Most of us are in some degree moral cowards. We like the chestnuts hut prefer to have a catspaw to obtain them. We demand that the law be enforced, yet go about breaking down the law's enforcement by signing a petition to have its teeth extracted. We are all too careless in the matter of signing any and every petition vt.nrlf nrwl#?r nnr niwpa Oftnn n mnn will give a recommendation in writing that he knows is a betrayal of truth. It is so easy to "pass the buck." Hut that does not make it right, not by a long sight. The people of the state should give hearty approval of Governor Harvey's stand upon the question of !aw enforcement. If the governor of the state is not sustained by the lawabiding citizens, how can it be hoped that conditions will change? It is true, as Governor Harvey says, the wave of crime in this state is alnrming. We are reaping the result of too liberal pardoning on the part of former governors, and of the great back wash from the war. It is also true that the operation of the bootleg under prohibition is contributing its , part. This is not to the discredit of prohibition. It is but natural that with the coming of a great, a radical change of the laws in relation to thi liquor traffic should bring about add tiona! outbreak? of '" imc.

"influential" citizen who is a .patron of the bootleg is not likely to bo speaking words of commendation to the officers of the law. His nets , are such that his woTds. are cf necessity full of influence for the violation of the law. When the influen?/?.l citizen becomes willing to deny himsdf the pleasure of his "toddy," when he' ce..s?? to speak disparagingly of prohibition, when he realizes tlint re owes a duty to his state to starnt fer law, then will much of the "or rue wave" be n thing of the past. There is a disposition on the par*, t f many people to speak disparagingly of officers and of the courts, juries and the machinery of law. There is the shyster lawyer who sloops to any degradation to- free his client. There are emotional preachers ami! chicken hearted teachers?too many of them entirely, for the Rood of society and for the maintenance of th<law in the land. When the people generally awake to these facts we will have better law enforcement and less crime. When there are less delays, less cheating of justice, less mis. guided sympathy for Ihe criminal, a better day will have arrived. The people of the state should not only endorse Governor Harvey's stand for the enforcement of law, but they should cooperate to the fullest eytent possible. It is rendering a distinct service to this state. He is making a very good governor indeed.

My mill goes back today to the = time I \m|a little school boy. The, j school was located near a big I cut in twlublic road so as to keep! ^ the chilA#s attention from being I drawn iiHhat direction by people passing, ^ne walls of the house were built WtitiKrf(fi0u} llin -cracks -thrnhti with the r Ad eft kind of mud. The gables wera Ul#o constructed of logs with ridgl<potes extending lengthwise to suppon the roof. The roof was made of beards, some three feet long, split from oak. trees and weighed down by chunks and poles to keep them in phce, or in other words, to take the piace of nails. This covering above afforded a good chance co study astronomy and a good oppor- j tunity for,one to know when it was laining without further investigation. There was only one door, which was discarded in the summer and swung | again on its wooden hinges during the winter. When it was opened or shut it made a noise somewhat like an auto horn does now, only more harsh. One log was cut out of the back end of the house to admit light to those who r were learning to write and the space ? covered by a board hung by hinges made by an old bootleg or to have it tip-to-date a piece of old belt. The amount of light admitted by said win dow was nicely regulated by sticks cut of diff.Tent lengths to suit the occasion. The writing desk was some plank ^ (as then called) so arranged to form sort of an incline plane suitable for writing. The loor 'was put down close tnougi to permit children walking over it in safety. Their feet were well j developed but not close cnotigh to prei vent books or pencils from falling ^ I through. The chimrlpy was constructed of mud and sticks, so arranged that the smoke had plenty of room in its as- " cent. The fireplace was some six or eight feet wide and was made of pokv or logs connected with the house and reinforced on the inside with inud aril locks, the h'^arth of the same mn- ? terial. The school fires were kept burning by the *big boys" gleaning the woods for logs, stumps or whatever they could And that was any way combustible, a supply being kept in- 7 side for a rainy day. The ^eats were made from slabs supported by wooden pins or blocks or any old thing that happened to be handy. They had no support on the back whatever without they happened to be near the wall.

This message affects electric light, gas, ice and other such plants the commission explained. Following the receipt of the telegram the commission notified all such plants and asked them to advise the J commission of their supply on hand \ together with (their future demand. v "Your attention is called particularly to the requirement of the bank guarantee," the commission advised the utilities. Mr. Shealy's telegram was as follows: "We can get priority orders 10,000 . tons ccal for public utilities if guar- ? antee is given by banks for pay-| ment. Ice, gas and s#uch utilities f hould arrange with bank for. letter " of credit in duplicate. Such coal will have to be shipped to me as coal distributor, Spartanburg, for distribution where needed. You may notify interested parties." All day yesterday the commission was again flooded with orders for I coal. Very little fuel is on hand and t consequently the commission is unable to supply the demand. The cotton f mills of the state are facing a shut, down unless relief is afforded them, c l.ut so far arrangements have not a been completed. Chairman Shealy is still in Washington working on the case and hopes to be able to procure F fuel for the mills.?The State. 1< The unusual and unprecedented coolness of Alaska's big volcanoes is puzzling scientists, who fear the quiet may be the forerunner of a tremendous eruption such as blew off the entire peak of Mount Katmai eight years ago.
