There are plenty of openings for other crops and Colleton's soil Is mighty well adapted to their culture. “Rlease stands by his friends", trat his "friends" In the legislature did not stand by him in the veto measures recently passed. When the vote of 104 to 0 was taken to pass the dispensary Investigation act bver the Governor's veto in the Ifouse, we are of the opinion that the Colleton delegation were rot all present. know at It. acd If act oppaaly app> porting It. wllf wink at tha viola tiba of law earned thereby. Who la to blame for this violation of lawf The violator? > Yea. And the man who knows it la being done and who doee not use some means to prevent it and to run* the tiger cut of his sommunUy. Illicit sale of liquor exists In C community because the people In the communt-r ^ ty w'.sh It to be doire. Then why complain? Prohibitionists voted the sale of the stuff out of the county, and then turned the enforcement of the law over to the violators of law— men who have no respect for either the moral or statutory law. is it an wonder that there is rot a better enforcement of the law? Then, too, when there are cases made out against these violators of law, at once you have a campaign of sympathy started. Poor fellow, he mey have sold It, but there are others who are also selling It, and thia poor man should iM>t be made to pay the penalty of his acta un less all of them should be fined. ■M * y* BJUnlMiPvWDER The only Baking Powder mode from Royal Crape Cream ofTartar NO ALUM, NO LIMB PHOSPHATB Mrs. C.

This paper has ahown ability to "do things" Ik South Carolina's baby county. Had it not keen for this paper there would never he-ve beer- a Jasper county. Here's wishing the young aowspaper and thfc baby county mighty well. But Editor Jefferies has a Walterboro girl as his help- meet, and that accounts for It all. The Spsrtst'-burg plan of having » County Supervisor and a Town ship Commissioner from each town ship elected every twenty years to have charge of the county, is not a bad one. In this plan every sectlo of the county has representation where representation dounts. Under thia plan It would not be possible to have one township overdraw Its apportlonmert for rosd work and another get rothlng. And then the people would have a sayso In the management of affairs. If it were any use to do so we ..would recom mend this ple-R- to our delegation. prosecuting witnesses, as was the case in the recent trials In Waller- boro, there is rot - the slightest doubt, and that some of the guilty parties w< re recently caught, no one questions. But whe nit came to a show down, there were many per- sons who, though believing the par tite accused to be guilty, would not ftvor conviction. The spirit shown by some of our citizens in these trials will never make for law enforcement or add to the efforts made to brir-g about a- sane and a safe regard for the enforcement of law. We are ef the opinion that if pro hlbiMonUta retlly want'the law en forced, It can be done as well as any law is enforced, thr.4 la now on the statute hooka. But. even with the preaent lax way In which offic ers and others handle the violations prohibition is far better that- any thing we have tried in Colleton cou ty. John F.

Fol lowing the announced policy of "tak>' Ing care of his friends”, the Gov ernor usurpf-d legal authority and appolrted the Colonel factory In spector. and paid him i:. salary of $200 per month from hla contin gent fee. The report made by Col onel Green, according to the Co lumbia State was almost the Iden tical report made by Col. E. J. Wa*aor\ State commlHHioner of ag riculture. But, the Colonel was out of a Job, and Bleaae "takes care of his friends. ” Economy? Well, hardly The delegation In the legislature from thia county will pass an act abolishing the offices of County Su pervisor ard County Commissioners, if the Act Introduced by Senator Ackerman becomes law, and |t doubtless will. Thus will be es tablished a precedent which is some thing new in the snrwls of Colle ton county hietory. Perhaps the delegation will be able to Justify Its set In taking the elective power away from the people, and delega-t- ing It to Itealf. Perhaps this will not have any Influence or- those who offer for office in this coun ty. But it la well to consider that if the delegation dan remove the CountfeStipervlaor and County Com- minaioaera and appolr< new offic ers‘It has eJso the power to re move other officers and make their holders appointees of the delega tion. What does It matter 'If a majority of the people do not wish a candidate to serve in the office to which he aspires if he have friends in the legislature? Yes. a precedent has been established. IM PROHIBITION PROHIBITING? The recent trials of the blind ti ger cases In Walterboro has reviv ed the talk that one hears so much of these days as to whether or not prohibition prohibits. One heem It on all sides that there Is as much liquor sold la this county as before the prohibition law went In to gffert. is this true? We do not think so; in fact we know it is *oC Bnt for the sake of argument lot no nsaume that K in true. Why HngheN Farm Mold. T. W. Hughea, who for the last four year* has been living at Stokes, having purchased a Icrge farm at that place, has Just conclud ed a deal by which he has sold his farm to C. R. Kent! of Vaca ville.
