Elsewhere in this issue are printed the two bills introduced in the house of representatives relative to Fairfield's finances. The one is a joint resolution, pro viding, for the appointment of a commisslon for the purpose of making a thorogugh investigation of Fairfield's finances in every re spect. The other is a bill pro viding for submitting to the qual ified voters of Fairfield the prop osition of issuing $40,000 in bonds for cancelling the present out standing indebtedness and for paying all the expenses of the county in cash. It is hardly necessary for us to say that we approve in toto the bill providing for investigating all the affairs of the various coun ty offices. More than one time in the past we have called the attention of the grand jury, the custodians of the county's interests in every particular, to the importance of taking such action and to the ut ter folly of making just casual ex aminations of the various offices. The county is deeply in debt, and the people have the right to know how it got in this unfortunate con dition. Not only have they the right, but they should know. Un fortunately a part of the records have been burned, but from what still remains it ought to be possi ble to see somewhat how things are. These investigations in other counties have proven very beneficial in straightening out a good many irregularities. The official who has been guilty of no wrong is not going to be hurt in the slightest by making the ex amination just as thorough as is possible. So let us have the in vestigation, and that too in no half-hearted way; and if it be that things have not been going on right, let the people know it. TIhe investigation should be worth all it will cost in making possible a better administration of the va rious offices in the future, even where the sarre officers are in charge. As to providing for putting the county on a cash basis, that is good business wisdom,-and the pity of it is that something bus iness-like along this line has not been done before. There is wis dom in providing not only enough to pay what is due, but also in making it possible for the county to pay all its obligations as they become due. The one defect that sugests itself to us in connection with the bill is that there is not enough definiteness as to the manner of holding the election. The bill provides that the ques tion of issuing the bonds shall be submitted to the qudlified vot ers of Fairfield county on August 28, 1906, by the board of county comnmissioners. Of course, if the election is held on that day, which will be the time of the holding of the first primary, there will have to be different sets of managers and in several instances the poll ing places will be different; for, if we understand it, this election would have to be conducted just as any general election. By whom are these managers to be ap pointed? By the county com missioners or by the commission ers of state and county elections? These are questions that are go ing to be asked by those who purchase the bonds and the best time is to answer them now. Let every provision he made before hand against the election's being a farce. Fairfield's delegation will win the thanks of the voters of the county' which they repre sent, if they will put this matter in good legal and business shape. Get matters straight now, so that the people of the county may sny at the polls that they are in for paying the county's indebtedness and running on a cash basis in the future. And surely they cannot say nay. Luckiest flan In Arkansas. "IFm the luckiest man in Ar kansas," writes H. L. Stanley, of Bruno, "since the restoration of my wife's health after five years of continuous coughing and bleed ing from the lungs; and I owe my good fortune to the world's great est medicine, Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption, which I know from experience will cure consumption if taken in time.

Six of our fore nost American pucts. and all but one n quantity as weIl as in quality of rerse-Bryant, Whittier, Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes and Emerson-lived to iges varying from seventy-five to ighty-five and were productive to the ast. Dr. Holmes wrote in his eighty ifth year that "time does not threaten he old man so often with the scythe is with the sandbag," yet he wrote )rilliant verse for special occasions al nost to the end. Theodor Mommsen, the historian, a man of alrost insignificant stature Ind emaciated frame, manifested in a1s eighty-sixth and last year the en ?rgy of a man in middle life. The Earl f Dundenald, though he was always n hot water and his whole life was I. series of quarrels-though he per rormed some of the most daredevil !eats recorded in the history of naval warfare, winning many brilliant victo .ies against enormous odds-lived to eighty-five and wrote hiq history of the iberation of Peru, Chile and Brazil Ind "The Autobiography of a Seaman," two most vigorous, lueid and dashing works, under the stress of Intense physical pain in the last three years of his life.

He fought and won reat battles, governed successfully preat provinces and achieved a great aame long after that period of life had* passed when, according to an antique morality not quite exploded, It be hooves a man to lay aside the things of the present life and to prepare his soul tor the next.-Saturday Evening Post. LOVE IN JAPAN. t Ir Very Different From That Whieh Warms the Western Heart. The boys and girls, the young men wnd young women of Japan do love each other, I suppose, but one never sees the slightest shadow of evidence to prove It. The spirit of love does not dominate the national life as it does In America and the countries of Eu rope. Japar.'s poets do not sing of love; her sto::y writers tell no tales of love that can thrill an Anglo-Saxon heart, and her artists paint no pictures f love that can reach the Anglo-Saxon understanding. Now, considering all this, how can there be such a thing as "a good old summer time" in this land of sunrise? And yet there is, and it is especially delightful in its way, too, because the Japanese are a nation of feasters and picnickers, of nature lov ers and world beautifiers, and if one can only lose sight of the fact that everywhere one goes the poor little women toddle meekly along behind the men, who stalk pompously ahead as If they owned the earth, one may al most enjoy oneself. One never sees a woman caressed in Japan, not Even with a glance; one seldom sees a baby fondled-in fact, all human tenderness or expression of human tenderness Is conspicuous by its absence, and I believe that Is the one Impassable great gulf that Is fixed be tween us and this people. And yet the people are happy, with a simple, sweet happiness that is eharming. That is Lt. It is an atmosphere that mildly charms, but never thrills, the western heart All the nation's love is concen trated upon thme emperor, and the high est note of the national life is sounded In yamato damashi, Japan spirit, pa riotism, and even this is beyond our comprehension, because it is empty of romance and unsatisfactory to us, who cannot separate the interests of "fair women and brave men" even upon the battlefield.-Eleanor Franklin in Les lie's Weekly. Brainu Not Needed. Sir Conan Doyle once told a story of an English officer who was badly wounded in South Africa, and the mili tary surgeon had to shave off that por tion of his brain which protruded from his skull. The officer got well, and later on In London the surgeon asked whether he knew that a portion of his brain was in a glass bottle In a labora tory. "Oh, that does not matter now," replied the soldier; "I've got a per manent position In the war office." Letters of Administration state of South Carolina, 1 County of Fairfield. ? By D. A.
