Let the farmer* of the county
■ttffen up their back bon cm a little
and resolve to plant itsa cotton
this year then ever before. 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

Ifouse, we are of the opinion that
the Colleton delegation were rot
all present.

la to blame for this violation of
lawf The violator? > Yea. And
the man who knows it la being

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.

a bad one. In this plan every sectlo

thia plan It would not be possible
to have one township overdraw Its

another get rothlng. And then the

case in the recent trials In Waller-

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

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
