.The Pickenis Sentinel, Advertismig Bates Reasonable U. E. ROBINSON, EDoR. PICNS, S. C.: THURSDAY, JAN. 11, 1912. The tobacco crop of 1911, for this State, aggregates a total value of $1,388,000. Tie total taxable property of this county is $4,015,596, which yields to the State. from the leyy for State purposes, $23,089 68 Will-the members of the legis latutre be expected to ask leave of absence from the governor when they wish to go in out of the State duringthe present ses sion? Col. J. H. Wharton, senator from Laurens county, will in troduce a bill providing for .bi enniAl sessions ot the legislature Good! That is one step toward e onomy, and we trust it will have a safe and successful land ing. Reports from the fertilizer manufacturers indicate that they are: very, ;verv blue. The farmer has learned from sad ex perience that they must protect themselves, and they will do that this year by reducing their cotton acreage and fertilizer bill. And may they prosper by so doing. Picture a scene like this, if ypu can: A man enaraged in re likious work, in the church Sun day morning pith a long, pious looking face;at the Lord's table, passing the collection plate and joining in the worship, and yet fresh from a 13 nching, with his hends stained with the blood of a human being. It is enough * -H. H. Evans, form:er Cis man of the old State dispensary, was indicted in the courts of Richland bounty last week, and a true bill.Iound against him for accepting rebates and for con spiracy to receive rebates. Mr. Evans, it will be remembered, is the man whom, it was al leged. Tom Felder triedi'to bribe, and for which Felder was tried in Newberry, and no bill found. Under the provisions of an act passed by the last legislature, no ch-ld under the a,(e of twelve years can be employed in any mine, factory or textile .estab lishment in this State. No ex ceptions are made. It does not matter-what the condition of the parent or parents, or the *child, or the exigences of the may be employed. This act took effect J'anuary 1. 1912. ,,-'4would be a good idea to con sideriisely and well the choice of a mayor for our town. We need aman who is willing to give some earnest thought and much time to help improve our streets. In winter, we have too many mud holes; in summer, toomuch dust and too many weeds. We cannot afford, and do not expect, to have all things lovely, but we might have bet. ter civic government. Judge Ira B. Jones. '-Last Tuesday, the 9th, Chief ,onei~of the state couit retired from the Several months ago he resignation to Governor eato take effect on that date, and it was announced that he would enter the race for gov ernor in the coming primary jerection. He is a free man now so fai- as public duties are con cerned, and.has the right to run for anf office he may wish. He has made an enviable reputation as a awyer and as a judge of the state supre'mie court. His & opinions have been eminently fair and very strong. He has s hown an ability in judicial equalled, and y importanIt therity for years. It estate that is en He the '95, tcon politics which led to the electikn it f Gov. Tillman. But for sev- h eral years he has been on the le bench, which ne-essarily re- i1 moved him from politics and d from contact with the people. n Since he has been out of politics c a large part of the voters have s1 arrived at the age to exercise e their franchise. Hundreds of c young men haye who ~have be- P come 21 years of age and have qualified themselves to vote, do s not know Judge Jones, and pos- i. sibly some of them 'have never h heard of him. His strength is i, unknown. I He would make an excellent t governor. and we do not think t the people would make a mis- t take to elect him, but one thing 1: is sure-if he hopes to win, he t will have to hustle, avd hustle 1 in a h'1rrv t for Our Representatives t Your attention is directed to certain changes and modifica tions needed in some of our laws The marriage license law should be changed so as to. give the officer issuing the license at least $1.00 for his trouble, The school law needs -many changes, but one in particular t should have speedy attention. and that is, to so amend it that transfers of pupils from one dis trict to another cannot be made without the concurrence of a majority of both sets of trustees Our. road IawV should be changed so as to req.ire the payment of $2 a year by each person subject to road duty. There should not be any altern ative, but should be levied and collected: just like the poll tax. Our country schools should be better provided for. We need a compulsory educ'ational system with certain restrictions and lim itations, and sufficient funds' to keep every school open at ledst eight months in the year. Hold the reins tight over the institutions of higher learning. We are already top-heavy with them, and if they should be giv enf fut a way, would drain the taxes can-be redu.ced.

I S The present outlook for a Democratic president in the ap proaching election is very en couraging. The leaders of the a party have held the reins very ~ steady arid made some telling a political strokes during the past ~ eighteen months. The most prominently spoken of in the Democratic ranks are Goy. Jud son Harmon, of Ohio; Gov. Wil son,'of New Jersey; Speaker v Champ Clark, of Missouri; Con- . gressman Underwood, of Ala- c bama; and Col. W. J. Bryan, of a Nebraska. Of these five. Har- b mon and Wilson seem to be the d favorites at present. Both of L these are strong men, and eith- v er would make a good Demo- s cratic executive.s Gov. Harmon is very popular i in. Ohio, and, between he and t. Pres. Taf t, would very likely . carry 'that state, Ohio being the a home of both. Since the has a been governor he has made a some very striking changes in the administration of the public t afairydf that state, and has t brought about reforms which a have astonished his foes and de- a lighted his friends. He isai strong man, and would proba- t bly be elected by a larger vote i. than any man the Democrats a could nominate, yet he has some i things against him that are s not compatible with a certain a element of the party. It has y been hinted that he is in sympa- t thy with the liquor interests. t and is being backed and pushed f and heartily supported by the y~ distillers and brewers organiza tions. This statement is not given with knowledge of facts, but is only a matter of rumor. How much truth there is in it, , we do not know and do not pre- c tend to say, but this should be e one of the vital principles of the pa ry. . c Gov. Wilson seems to be the Ic choice of the South. While now I governor of a Northern state, he u is a Southern man by birth and. h training; knows conditions here a will'be in hearty accord with ci eyery movement for our ad vandement, He did what few T~ men could have done when he 1 carried the rock-rib.>ed Republi- n can state of New Jersey against a a neswerful. well organIized Gov. Wilson has proven mself to be a'man capable of adership and worthy of trust public affairs. His only ban cap is that 'he is a Southern an. This may weaken his aances in some of the Northern ates, but we believe he can be ected unless there is a great lange in ths political atmos here before the election. As to Speaker Clarke, the ime objection confronts him, e., he is too far South. He as proven that in statecraft he equal to any of them. But it as been suggested that he -is :o friendly with the corpoia ons. It-should not be objec onable for a man to be friend r with the corporations, :.nd Lis should not weigh against im nn!es L34. so wrapped up a them that he iv'ould submit to 2eir control. This 1z where the ub comes. It'is impo"sible for he people to know how a man ill be influenced by coiporate ealth, and therefore not many Lre willing to vote for~ a man onnected with corporations. NMr. UnCerwood will not be se iously considered. While he is brilliant man and would fill he office with distinction, he is o mcch of a Southerri gentle an to be president. Col. Bryan is being mentioned Ls a probable candidate, and'no enial is made that, he is not trong intellectually, morally and politically, but as we do not ielieve he can win, we hope he ill not enter the race, He has aet defeat three times, and it ould be party suicide to put rim forward again. But whoever maybe the Dem icratic standard bearer this ear, we confidentially expect a weeping v.ctory. To Our Subscribers. Last week and this we had to ut off about 200 subscribe:rs rhichi we regretted to do very auch.

Don't get ad but come or send us word bout it and we- will straighten up. A Farmers' Warehouse. The Question of building a areouse at Pickens for the rmers to store their future tton crops, or so much thereof they may desire to store, is eing agitated. Mr J. F. Hen ricks, of Liberty, was in town ist week and stated that he 'as heartily in favor of such a heme, and that he would in a ort while make a canvass of e county to that end. He inks that withi warehouses all ver the South properly man ged the farmers cm control ch situations as they are up gainst now. Of co irse Pickens is the place build the warehouse. It is ie central point in the county nd can be reached easier than ny other town in the county. n ould be most convenient for 1 greater number of farmers many respects. We have ople railroad facilties for haul ig all the cotton that might be ipped to or from this place, nd- we believe our business en would give substantial aid such an enterprise.
