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!

who makes the "moonshine."
"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.
Now, gentle tender, before we commence
teaching we must employ a
teacher, etc. Homo. "Speekboom"

Coal Available for Utilities
1
Priority orders for 10,000 tons of '
coal can be obtained for South Carolina
utilities in the priority class,
Chairman Shealy of the I'ailroad commission
wired yesterday from Washington
,this being contingent upon
guarantees of the banks to make payment.
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<
