THE CLERK'8 OFFICE AGAIN. grifo Hamilton Gives His Ideas as to Public Affair*. Editors Keowee Courier: An arti cle from C. G. Jayne- appeared In your paper recflntly, requesting an expression of views by certain per-' sons as to the Clerk's salary. In giving my views they shall not be confined to the Clerk's salary alone, but to the services and salaries of county officers generally, with a de sire to do no one an injustice The object of the Inquiry, as 1 un derstand it, is to know what^ the Clerk receives in fees in addition to the $300 allowed him for services1 rendered the county. The Clerk ^should be the most competent one to VJ give this information. His services "are two-fold-first, to.the county, for 'which he is paid a salary of $300 from the county funds; secondly, to the Individual, for which the law ah lows him to charge fixed fees. If the fees are excessive they should be re duced, but not, in my judgment, in adequately to pay a good salary. I believe this ls the most equitable and satisfactory system from the f?ct that the individual pays for his records, and the Clerk, knowing that he is dependent on the individual for his fees instead of the county for his salary, would render mofe satisfac tory and cheerful service. So much for the Clerk. , I see from the articles of some of those who have replied, as well as from the statements of some of the candidates, that there Is a diversity of opinion in reference to the salaries of public officials. I am opposed to extravagance, in public as well as In private affairs, but am no advocate of cheap service. First-class service ls never rendered by cheap men. It is an established fact, conceded by all good business men, that good men always demand good salaries. To become proficient In any line of r* ^Nvork requires a certain amount of pr?ctico and experience, and lt is from such experience only that we may expect to obtain good results. A man may be scrupulously honest Und yet not possess the requisite qu tliflcatlons for a public officer. Wo need honest, broad and progressive men In office-men who can reason, calculate, deal Intelligently and suc cessfully with public Issues, and who have the courage to speak and act their convictions. With such men in office we would have better laws and well executed. I believe that our indebtedness of $45.000 and our high tax rate ls largely due to the bad management and Incompetency of some of our for mer county officials. I believe that lt ls much better for the public In terest and welfare, when we get good men In office, to keep them there. W. O. Hamilton. Seneca, S. C.

Address Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis. J. W. Bell. METHODISTS OPPOSE CANNON. Church Members Will Fight His Re election-?lill "uor Question Cause. A dispatch 'rom Baltimore says: The Methodist Episcopal Church has begun an actlv? crusade for the elec tion of a spei ker "who will allow Congress to vote on the inter-state liquor shipment bill." The church, which has over 3,000,000 communi cants, has created the Temperance Society of the Methodist Episcopal church, with authority to represent the denomination In all temperance matters. This society is managed by a board composed of about 61 ft mem bers, named by the bishop and elect ed by the General Conference. The board of managers has organized and directed Its chairman to take steps to begin an active campaign. An official address has been issued to all members of the denomination, asking their co-operation. The "shipment bill," which has been pending in Congress for at least five years, does not seek to Impose pro hibition upon any locality, but pro vides that liquor shipped from ene State to another phall immediately upon the boundary become subject to the laws of the State Into which lt is consigned. "The Speaker of the National House of Representatives," says the address, "absolutely controls its pro cedure. He is opposed to this legis lation. He has used tho power of his office to hold lt In the Judiciary committee, appointed by him on the alleged ground that it is unconstitu tional. Our church, by action of the recent General Conference, Insists that Congressional doubt as to the constitutionality of such legislation be resolved in the interest of the peo ple and the public morals, and that the General Conference unanimously accepted the report of Governor Han ley's special committee appointed to walt upon Sp*??i<?r. Cannon, which closes with the following words: 'We submit to our peonle and to all good citizens the wisdom of electing men as members of Congress who believe in its validity and who are willing to enact lt.' "At least ono member of the House Judiciary Committee has been de feated for the nomination on his rec ord on this question and we believe that the time has como when our people who want to help secure this legislation must support for Con gress candidates who will not only vote for this measure If they get a chance, but will themselves support for speaker a rm who will allow it to be voted upon, and that its pas sage IR improbable until Christian members recognize th*s situation and cast their ballots accordingly."

Dizzy spells were of fre quent occurrence, and I felt nervous and languid. The kidney secretions did not act in a normal manner, and caused me much annoyance at times. I finally procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Dr. J. W. Bell's drug store, took them according to directions, and am glad to say that they have helped me very much.

Those who have had business with the Railroad Commission will testify that I have ever been ready to dis charge the duties of my offlce fear lessly, impartially and to the beBt interests of the people of South Car olina, and that I have always been courteous to those desiring Informa tion and relief. I am the only Railroad Commis sioner who has moved his residence to Columbia to be in daily touch with the work ot the office. During my term of office I have inspected personally every line of railroad in the State, often walking crosB-tles that I might be assured that the condition of the roadbeds and trestles was safe. I have been often in every county in South Carolina, looking into the conditions of the stations, and im proving the conveniences of the trav eling public. I have stood for lower frleght and passenger rates, better schedules and safer modes of travel. The handsome majority you gave nie formerly has always been appre ciated, and has been an incentive to a faithful performance of my duties. I hope to have your support in the coming election, and shall strive to ever render you faithful services. Banks L. Caughman.
