That Russian Parliament is really

President Roosevelt's advice to

, LOOK AFTER YOLiR REGISTRATION
CERTIFICATE.
The Hooks of [Registration are
<>;> ned every first Monday in the
ne uth, except one coming thirty
days or less before the election. Let
i v< tvImkIv not registered and who is
* qualified to do so, look after the
matter on the first Monday in .July.
Many young men just come of
ag?- and many who have lo>t their
certificates should attend to the matto'.
It has been charged that the
dispensary was voted out of I'nion
county because so many white men
could not vote. Whose fault was it
that they could not vote? Was it
1 s-ause they could neither read nor
write? (>r was it because they did
not have at heart interest enough t<>
look after tlieir registration? In
either case such a man has no right
to complain if he is refused the privilege
of the ballot box. Ile>idcs.
many strong opponents of the whiskey
business were refused the privilege
of voting for the reason that
they too neglected to qualify. Look
aft* r your registration ccrtifieate.
I tt your interest in the welfare of
your county lead you to perform at
L
least that small obligation, Yes, it
is an obligation. We owe it as a
debt to our community and the
public to attend to these matters of
citizenship.
LOCAL OPTION DEMOCRATS.
Local option is good enough for
any community. It is founded upon
democratic principles and leads
to the best results. The county
should be the unit, not the township,
for the county is a little democracy
within the large state. It
enters around one court house with
its sheriff, clerk of court and various
other oHiccrs. The Kditor of
fin-: Tnns is local option democrat
i:i form of prohibition. That is a
sound platform upon which to stand.
If the people of Columbia or
' Charleston or Greece or I'at agon ia
will sell whiskey we may feel sorry
for their judgment and satisfied of
their error. Hut we do not see how
we can stop them except by plant!

Already the whiskey blossoms are

BETTER THAN IMMIGRATION.
The efforts to bring desirable settlers
to the South is to be commended.
If the people imported are
thrifty, industrious and capable of
becoming conformed to our ideals
and institutions great good to our
Zt/kliitf IM' ifi 1 1 Kiioiilt Ihki
jvnuui i 11 uhuiu \>iii ltouii. nut
there are serious dangers involved
in any immigration scheme which
operates on a large scale. Quality
and not quantity is the important
thing. Sturdy people willing to
work and capable of adjusting themselves
to our standards will bring
additional prosperity.
But after all this is said the South
needs more than anything else to
grow naturally, and, it may he said,
gradually. A forced growth may
be beneficial, such growth is often
grievously faulty. But a steady
growth is productive of good only.
The country needs more marriages,
more native horn children, more
happy and peaceful homes. We
must light the growing idea that a
man should not marry until he has
accumulated property, and can heed
n life as exncnsivelv nvwl liivnri
ously as his father lives after years
of toiling- Wo must advocate early
marriage. There are many pious
souls who hold up their hands in
holy horror at the very mention of
early marriage. "What does Sallic
know ahout house-keeping!" exclaims
one of those timid souls.
"Why, dim is nothing hut a hoy!"
exclaims another. "Both of them
should he in school!" chimes in a
third. Now, let these pious individuals
look over the range <>f their
acquaintances and they will doubtless
find that a dozen couples, married
in early life are happier and
more prosperous than the same
number of couples who began later.

IMMIGRANTS fOR THE SOUTH.
A Company Organized In New York
by Major George B. Edwards to
Take up the Work on Broad Lines.
'
The Southern Colonizing Company,
recently incorporated under
the laws of the State of New York,
with oflices in this city, is locating
settlers in the Southern States on
what seems to be practical business
lines. The company sells lands on
easy payments in lots nf 10, 20, 40,
SO or more acres; has agents in
Northern, Eastern, and Western
States and in Canada, and is making
arrangemants for agents in Europe.
The lands are sold only to
those who have money enough to
make a first payment on the purchase
price, and the remainder of
the purchase money is permitted to
remain on bond or note, payable
i i am u 1 installments, secured by
mortgage of the property.
This class of settlers are expected
to he of untold advantage to the
South, whether th / come from
other parts of this country, or from
Europe, as they will be practical
farmers and understand the cultivation
of all farm and food crops.
They will enable the South, it is
hoped, to maintain its agricultural
position, which is seriously affected
j by the inefficiency of its negro lalj'
or, even when they remain on the
farms, while their constantly increasing
tendency to leave the
farms and seek other employment
is an absolute menace to the agricultural
interest.
The Southern Colonizing ('oinpany
a mouncos that it will not confine
us opeiations to any particular
State or locality, hut will loeate settlors
in all of the Southern States.
Major (ieorge B. Edwards, of Charleston,
S. C , is president. He is
well-known, has lived in the South
all his life, and is thoroughly conversant
with the soil and climate
of the Southern States, transportation
facilities, agricultural possibilities,
hanking methods and general
conditions. Alexis Ee Blanc, formerly
of Chatawa, Miss., and now
of New York city, is secretary. He
has had experience as a planter,
farmer and lumberman Charles
II. Crosley, of New York, is vice
p i si (lent and general manager.
"it seems only reasonable to expect
most beneficial results," the
company says, "enabling many of
the large land owners of the South
to realize on their now idle and unproductive
lauds; furnishing a solution
of the problem of a proper,and
practical distribution of the largel^
growing influx of foreigners to this
country, and pointing them to prosperous
and happy homes."?New
York Journal of Commerce.

Ileport has reached lis that the
baseball game at Pacolet played by
the West Springs and 1'acolet teams,
in which game some of our boys
w re i 1 it rested, resulted in a
free for all light in which the i>olieeman
at Pacolet came out with
his coat badly ripped up and down
the back and looking as though he
had been caught in a wind mill.
We are glad to say none of our
b ys were mixed up in such a disgraceful
and lawless scene. It is
siid the ollicer, while cut in several
p aces, was not seriously hurt and
is again on duty.
