A Preamble is intended to explain the purpose of what follows. The Pre amble to our Constitution does that . ^ *»‘W§, tho people of the United In order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, in sure domestic tranquillity, provide nfnon defence, for the common defence, promote, the gepefetl Welfare, and secure the bltsslfkts *of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and. establish this CONSTITUTION for the United States of America.” That explains what the Constitu tion was expected to do. It does not, however, explain why it Ssas necessary to draw up a Constitu tion, eleven years after the English Colonies of America had declared •their independence of Great Brit ain. The Declaration of Indepen dence was signed in 1776. The Con stitution was adopted in 1787. Be fore we can understand the why of the Constitution, we must under stand what kind of a government we had in America before there was any Constitution. The very first phrase of the Con stitution raises questions. “We, the people of the United States.” How were the States united before word “nation” was seldom used; the word “state” was always un derstood as ri». »^ *. !?S. Declaration of Independence, u**®* declaring that “these United Col onies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States,” con tinues: “and that all political con nection between them and the STATE of Great Britain is, and plight to be, dissolved.” “United Spates,” then, meant “United Na tions.” Thirteen independent nations, seeking to free themsv^ the domination of nation, fought the tkYie Revolution. They ca^ € d thfft union a “Confed- er^Vioh of States.” Exactly the same me&hing would have been convened if they had called it a “{•feague of Nations.” In the beginning, this union of independent states was nothing more than a mutual alliance to carry on the war. It was almost exactly the same sort of a “union” as that between the allied but in dependent nations of Europe, for the conduct of the World War from 1914 to 1919. The American States had the common background of having all been subject to the same domination by another nation. But the utmost their leaders had in mind in the way of a union, at the beginning of the Revolution, was an alliance of independent nations in what they explicitly termed a “League of Friendship.” The only central government products (including rental and benefit payments) were nearly twice those of 1932 in Alabama, South Carolina, and Georgia; two and one-half times in North Caro lina, and half again as great in Mississippi. The increase in the in dex of farm real estate values amounted to 11 points in Alabama, nine points each in North and South Carolina, eight points in Mississippi, seven points each in Georgia and Louisiana, points in Kentucky.” Ford Production Is Now 848,504 Cars there was any Constitution? What j ^at existed in America for the first had kept them together throughout the War of the Revolution? What had held them together after the Revolution and before they adopted the Constitution? For, as they ex pressly stated in the Declaration of Independence, they were not only free states, but independent states. For that matter, what did they mean by the word “states,” in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution itself? When the Founding Fathers of the Republic said “state” they meant exactly what we mean today when we say “nation.” In the 18th century the five years of the war with Great Britain was the Continental Con gress, composed of delegates from the thirteen states. It had so lit tle power or authority that it could hardly be called a government at all. The Continental Congress could borrow money, if anyone would lend it, but could not levy taxes to repay such loans. It could issue requisitions to the separate states for supplies and troops, but it could not make its acts effective Next Week: The Seed From Which Grew The Constitution.

Announces Sales For 6 Months Of 1935 Dogs In State Must Be Inoculated For Rabies For many vears most of the cities and towns of the state have had an ordinance making the inoculation if dogs for rabies compulsory, and while this has greatly decreased the mad dog menace it has not alto gether eliminated the danger. At its last session the legislature very wisely passed a state-wide law making the inoculation of dogs for rabies compulsory, the act becom ing effective the 1st of July. As it is very probable that because of lack of information, very few dog owners in the rural districts gave heed to the law, the Messenger herewith publishes the act in full, which was furnished the paper by Senator J. J. Dorn, and is as fol lows: SECTION 1: Be It Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: The owner, or the person having possession of,, any dog four (4) months or more of age shall annually on or before the first day of July have the same vaccinated or inoculated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian, physician, druggist, or other per son designated by a governing Board of any municipality or of any county. The person administering the vaccine or serum shall issue his certificate in triplicate, one for himself, one for the owner, and one for the County Treasurer or tax collector, giving the . name, age,. breed, sex, and identifying marks of the dog and the date of tho treatment. The certificate shall have written in ink or printed across its face the following in scription: “Warning! Inoculation is not a sure preventive against rabies. Take all precautions to ■protect your dog.” SECTION 2: The charge for in oculation or vaccination of a dog shall not exceed One ($1.00) Dollar, including cost of the serum and such charge shall be paid by the owner or person in possession of the dog and shall be in lieu of any tax now imposed by law on dogs. The County Treasurer of those counties wherein a tax is levied on dogs is authorized and directed to give the taxpayer credit for the amount of the dog tax upon pro-, duction of a certificate of inocula tion, and the Treasurer is himself authorized to take credit in his an nual settlement for the aggregate amount of such rebates. SECTION 3: On and after the first day of July, 1935, it shall be unlawful for any person, having the possession and control of any dog which has not been inoculated, to allow.A ^o run at large. SECTxOTr-4: The vaccine used in * the inoculation of dogs against ra bies shall meet the standard fixed ' by the United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal In dustry. SECTION 5: All law enforcement officers. State, County and munici pal, and all school trustees within, their respective districts are here by specifically charged with the en forcement of this Act and are here by invested with all necessary police powers to effectuate that purpose. SECTION 6: Any person refusing to comply with the provisions of this Act, or intentionally violating any of the provisions thereof shall ’ be deemed and held guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be fined not more than Ten ’ ($10.00) Dollars or imprisoned not more than ten (10) days. SECTION 7: The operation of this Act may be suspended and ’ shall stand suspended until other wise ordered in any county within' the State by and upon the filing with the Clerk of Court of Common i Pleas in "said county, a written no tice to that effect, signed by, the State Senator and at least half of the Members of the House of Rep resentatives from such county, and the Act may be made again op^ eratfve in such county upon a likfe order so signed and filed rescind* ing the former order. SECTION 8: This Act shall take effect immediately upon its ap proval by the Governor. Approved the 17th day of Mayv 1935*. OLIN D. JOHNSTON, Governor.

July 16.— Figures announced today by of ficials of the Ford Motor Company show that, during the first six months of the year, 634,961 units were sold in the United States. This is nearly two-thirds of the 1,- 000,000 cars and trucks which Ford is building this year. This figure does not include foreign sales. In June alone, 100,882 units were co’d. This is the best sales rec c’d' fdr June which Ford has ex- p- rifcnced since 1930—and the f ’’rth consecutive month this year that Ford sales have topped 100,000. Luring the first six months this >car,. Ford paid out $88,727,568 in wages and spent $374,368,873 for raw materials, a great part of which, was for wages in.other in dustries, officials said..
