The man who constantly looks back must necessarily go back and in so doing will .become fossilized. The indications now are that poli tics will be red hot in South Carolina * next summer, and if there is any seri ous opposition to Gov. Blease the campaign meetings will be lively. Wonder how much of the criticism of the State Board of Education in dulged in by some newspapers woe in spired .by the thought that Gov. Blease had much to do with the adoption of certain books. i . _ \ - Somebody wants to now what should be done with legislatures that go back on their constituents. In many cases that will probably be answered by constituents going back on the recreant legislators. The effort made by some newspa pers to get State Superintendent of Education Swearingen to enter the race next summer for governor, has failed. That gentleman says he pre fers his present job. . - The man who lets his back yard !be filled with rubbish, who does not clean out his cellar,, and who lets his front yard go to weeds, has no right to sing of the '.New Jerusalem," pearly gates and golden streets. The man who is content to be an average workman or clerk is the man who is dropped when work is slack. The man who does his best and seeks to excell is the one who holds his 'position under all circumstances. Senator Tillman asked Governor Blease to explain some of his par dons at Orangeburg last week. The Greenville Dally Piedmont thinks that "lots of other people are going to ask him to do the same thing." The Sumter Herald says that it takes twenty years for one woman to make a m>an out of her son and just twenty minutes for another woman to make a fool out of him. Won der how Brother Knight found this out? He is a wea man who cannot con trol himself; especialjy weak is he whose temper flies to pieces over tri fles. Such a man is well described by Robert Browning in "The Ring and the Book," as "All Hell let loose on a butterfly." The Greenville Dally Piedmont says "in justice to themselves, the edi tors who haven't automobiles ought to issue ad testiflcandum papers for those that have and find out where and how they got them." Let's wait until the present hot wave passes. One of our American "captains of industry" complains that in this country his class are always in dan ger ol criminal prosecution. The danger isi evidently very remote for the heads of great trusts found guil ty of flagrant and criminal violation of law enjoy their liberty as freely as ever. Another of the leaders of the old South has passed away. At his home in Atlanta, Ga., recently General Cle ment A. Evans, formerly commander in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, succumbed in his last great fight, which was against death. His ?passing cannjot but serve to call to mind again that the heroes of the sixties are fast leaving us. The "Glorious Fourth" seems to have been observed more sanely than usual, which shows ihat the move ment for a "sane Fourth" is making headway. Certainly it was time that people learned that it was not^ nec essary to destroy life, blow o?* gers and arms, and thereby have a long annual roll of dead and wound ed in order to show their patriotism. In spite of political corruption, business dishonesty and other evils too prevalent, the world is getting better and the way to make it still better is to follow the good and take a firm stand against evil. Underneath the corruption,- which comes to the surface like dross in a melting pot, the heart of the nation beats strong and sound and is seen in the innum erable happy homes in which this country rejoices. Those cults which under specious guises indulge in shady moral prac tices always take refuge in the plea of "spirit of truth," or "other world liness," or some other canting and hyprocritical expressions. But In the long Tun these cults, whether "Abso lute Life," "Heavenly Abode," or what not, are sure to come to grief as they run against unimaginative courts and the hard-headed, practical sense of society. Yet it is strange how easy it is for unprincipled men to find willing dupes. Stands For Gou Roaus. Senator Swanson, of Virginia, re cently made an ? r-gument on the floor of the Senate in favor of good roads and the duty of the federal government to operate with the States in building them. The Atlanta Constitution says he disposes of every argument, economic, legal and politi cal, against the geueral government making liberal provision for extend ing the mileage oi improved high ways. He calls attention to the fact that under its coratltutional power to establish poJtoffi-'es and postroads, the government yes.ni ago built tm. old Cumberland turnpike, and un doubtedly would i have continued making liberal appropriations for im proved highways, but for the amaz ing development of railroad construc tion. This factor which! temporarily halted the work o? constructing im proved highways, ifl now eliminated. There is more reason than ever for good roads to bring the open coun try in touch with railroad lines. The railroads themselves appreciate the fact that better roads means more produce to haul to market, and more business in the shape of freight and passengers. They are co-operating with the farmers Is behalf of improv ed means of communication, between farm and city; between farm and rail road station. The . '.present demo cratic house of representatives is pledged by the last democratic, nat ioal platform to ooperate with the various states in building roads. The platform pledge .being: "We favor federal aid to state and local authori ties in the construction of post ro?2u8." It should redeem that pledge during the life of this congress. Arguments of the vigor and di rectness of the one made by Senator Swanson, of Virginia, and a few days ago ,by Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, should serve to awaken the congress to the popular demand for government co-operation, and lead to practical steps being taken to this end. Senator Swanson charges that we have the pooreat public highways of any civilized nation, and that the improvement of tbe highways Is the problem of overwhelming impor tance before the nation today. He says that of the 2,155,000 miles of public roads less than 200,000 are macadamized. Tne figures he igives as to the cost of handling farm, products over bad roads, as compared to the lower co*-4 of transportation over good roads, are worthy of close attention. More important than this saving to the individual farmer, is the tremendous enhancement of the abutting property, and that in all tht section served, which always follows the improvement ' f a highway. The federal government has estab lished as post roads s?me 1,000,000 miles of highway over which the ru ral mail is transported. It demands that these roads be kept In passable condition by the local community, but makes no provision for aiding In that work. If tthere is a single igood and sufficient reason why Uncle Sam should not co-operate, we have not seen it advanced says the Constitu tion. No scheme of internal improve ments promises better and more sat isfying results to the people and to the government. It is only a ques tion of time when a good roads ap propriation bill will be introduced in congress as regularly as a rivers and harbor bill. Tho country Is worked up over the quesi ion as never before. Very ?Jasy Plan. The man with a garden who lives next door to the man who keeps chickens that ru.\ at larve has always had a hard time of it. His praise worthy attempt to grow vegetables and fruits that shall rival the pic tures in the seed catalogues are con stantly foiled ^<y Plymouth Rock's and Rhode Island Reds of hid neigh bor. He sows in hope and the hen rea/ps with joy. ? Throwing stones at or "shooing" the chickens not only fails of its ob ject but result'} in greater dlssitc".. To expostulate with the owner of the hens only evokes promises of amend ment that are jiever realized. Hith erto the man who under such circum stances has trted to have a garden has necessarily been endowed with more than human patience, hope and perseverance. But a new day has dawned for the gardener?^a day bright with hope and certainty. What friendly remon strances and a'" the machinery of the law have been unable'to do, is now, thanks to an Illinois clergyman, made easy for every man who aspires to raise every kind of vegetable from radishes to Hubbard squash. So simple and yet. so ingenious Is the plan discovered that one wonders it was not thought of long since. It merely amounts to a trap cun ningly placed by a row of recently sown peas or some other attractive spot. Into this trap walks the ma rauding hen as innocently as the fly goes into the spider's parlor. When the hen is thus caught the captor I holds it for a ransom. No ransom, no giving up of hen. but the ransom is always paid, denredations cease,' and harmony ifl restored between two neighbors and their families. New Potato Bug. With a flourish of scientific trum pets it is announced that a Chicago professor of biology has. after innum erable experiments, produced potato bugs different in appearance from the ordinary kind. Instead of the fa miliar stripes, the new varieties have barks that are mottled, piebald or otherwise adorned with geometrical figures, whil. the color scheme Is' richer and more elaborate. It is all very interesting, and perhaps valu able from a scientific standpoint, but potato growers would consider it more to the point if that particular student of biology or some other evolve a harmless potato bug, or, bet ter still, exterminate the present spe- j cies. The salaries of the rural mail car riers will be raised on August 1. We congratulate ".hem. CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free. For Sale?Two cheap mules. See R. J.
