Fifteen murder case3 to be tried and one assassin at large is a pretty bad record. But there is consolation in the fact that only two white men are involved. Rememrer that any one who takes "The Twice-a-Week Times and Demo crat for one year, and at the end of that period says the paper is not worth $1.50 we will refund him his money. According to the last statement of the state bank examiner, the banks in South Carolina have on de posit subject to check $16,000,000, and in their savings department $12,000,000. That is a fair show ing. If the conditions of landlord and laborer are to be improved in this State the law to be passed by the Legislature on the subject must pro vide the means by which the terms of contracts between employer and employed shall be rigidly enforced. The Twice-a-Week Times and Dem . ocrat has been most favorably re > ceived, and we have been paid many complim-ints on its inauguration, as well as more tangible evidences of its popularity in the shape of new subscribers and old ones renewing at the new rate. Gov. Ansel recommends that not ?more than one dispensary be allowed in any county where liquor is sold except in counties where there are large cities. This plan would work all right, provided constables were provided to keep down blind tigers in the towns where dispensaries are sot located, Congress will save millions of dollars to the country by passing promptly the bill for the establish ment of the "Appalachain Parks" or ferest reservations, both North and South. The bill will eventually pass, so why not pass it at once, and stop the great waste that is going on by the destruction of the mountain for est and the flooding of the low lands. Col. Jas. R. Randall, author of "Maryland, My Maryland," died at his home in Augusta. Ga., on Tues day. Col. Randall was born in Bal timore in 1839. He was an ardient Confederate, and wrote many stirr ing war lyrics during the civil war. For twenty years he was one of the editors of the Augusta Chronicle, which paper he left in 1886 to con nect himself with the press of his native city. The death of Col. Jas. R. Randall, the talented author of "Maryland, My Maryland," recalls the fact that Oliver Wendell Holmes in speaking of that stirring ballad said, "my only regret is 1 could not do for Massa chusetts, what Randall did for Mary land." In the passing of Col. Ran dall another patriot and sweet sing er of the South crosses over the river to join his gallant comrades who had gone before. Gov. Ansel recommends that at least an extra two-mill tax for State purposes be provided for at this ses sion of the Legislature, the same to be done for the next two years, when we will have in the State treasury money sufficient to place us where we will not be required to borrow, but "can pay as we go." This is a safe business proposition and the Legislature would be acting wisely in acting favorably on it. The News and Courier says "the water courses and consequently the lands in Mr. Lever's Middle South Carolina district are nearly affected by the mountain woodlands and so it is that a dozen States are de?endent upon Congress to protect their re spective interests in the mountain regions." That is true, and the peo ple in Mr. Lever's district should make their wants known in the mat ter. It will help Mr. Lever in his ef fort to pass the "Appalachian Parks" or forest reservations bill, which will prevent our low lands from being flooded. I Would Do No Good. Representative Clark, of Florida, would curtail the operations of the sensational press of the country by penalizing the transportation through the mails of any "newspaper, maga zine, or other publication containing alleged facts, or portions thereof, of any divorce suit, murder case, or other court proceeding of any char acter whatsoever of sn indecent or immoral character, or which would tend to corrupt the minds of the young." Such a law would do no good, as it would be evaded by the sensation al press of the country, and, besides, as the Spartanburg Herald says, "the bill is fundamentally wrong. Publicity is one of the great re straints upon crime and immorality. It is the duty of the parent to see that the reading indulged in by the young is not of such a character as to corrupt their minds, and not the duty of the government. There are few people who would not be just a little less careful of their acts if it were not for "what people would say." What the papers would say is the same principle carried a great deal further. "It is unfortunate that the papers may not exercise this great power toward checking immorality with out furnishing a possible means of corrupting the minds of the young; but at the same time it is important that the power should be exercised, and other means of protecting the minds of the young should be em ployed. It is even to be said in fa vor of such publicity that it furnish es a powerful object lesson to the young, even though it may tend to excite in their minds thoughts that are not of the best." There is good, hard sense in what The Herald says above. As it says "there is no way in which to pre scribe the field of journalism except by creating a taste for a different kind of matter from that which is used in the papers. This is a task beyond the power of legislatures." Muzzle the press at to their doings and the criminals of the country would hold high carnival, but they are afraid of publicity. The Labor Contract Law. One of the most important meas ures that the General Assembly will be called upon to deal with at this session is the enactment of a labor contract law. Gov. Ansel in his mes sage to the Legislature recommends the passage by that body of * 'a string ent act which will punish both land lord and laborer for a violation of a labor contract, and make it a misde meanor for one person to employ a laborer who is under contract with another." No fair minded mant< be hejlandlord or laborer, could object to such a provision in a contract law, as it would ensure justice to all. Gov. Ansel further recommends that these contracts be "in writing and recorded in the office of the reg ister of mesne conveyance for the county where the parties reside, and make this record a constructive no tice to all persons of the contract." This would prevent the hiring of la borers under contract by other par ties, and, we believe, would stop a great deal of that kind of thing that has gone on in the past, if a good and sufficient penalty is provided for those who violate the law. Gov. Ansel thinks that "with an act of this kind, and with the act now in force preventing the enticing of laborers from the employer, and with a strict enforcement of both, to gether with the vagrancy law, much progress will be made in solving the labor question." We fully argee with Gov. Ansel in this opinion, and if the landlords will band together and see that such laws when enacted are enforced they would have less trouble with their laborers than they had in years. Much of the trouble between landlord and laborer is caused by the laborer knowing that he can get another place whenever he wants it if he wants to leave the andlord he is under contract with. Correct this evil and labor conditions will greatly improve. A Good Bill. Representative Tatum, who by the way is an Orangeburg County boy, will introduce in the Legislature a bill to make all roads of rural free mail delivery routes public roads. He says this bill is to correct a long felt want and its title sufficiently ex plains its purpose. In a number of instances persons indifferent to the success of the free rural mail system will place gates across roads traver sed by the regular route and the de mand for the'working: of roads that are already public is so great that little attention is paid to keeping up the.roads over which rural routes pass. They have a certain schedule to make and I regard it as important that they be aided as far as possible in the execution of their duties I think the Statt* should give the na tional government ibis much assis tance. It seems to us that this is a good bill. Its passage might incon venience some few people, but it will benefit a great many more than ' it will inconvenience. The rural mail J j routes are the greatest conveniences" ever bestowed upon the country peo ple, and nothing should be done to jeopardize a single route. The Lien Law. Gov. Ansel in his message to the Legislature says "the lien law has been a source of much discussion in and out of the Legislature ior many years. It was much discussed when I was a member of the General As sembly more than twenty years ago. I think it has long since accomplish ed the purposes of its enactment, and I recommend its repeal. Too often the lien is 'taken up' before the crop is planted, and often but little work is done after the lien is taken up. I think it better for land lord and tenant that it be repealed." This is a question upon which there is a great diversity of opinion. In the lower and middle parts of the State the sentiment is almost unanimous for its repeal, but in the upper part of the State there are many who be lieve that the land should be al lowed to stand. Gov. Ansel is from the up-country, but his opinion on the lien law will meet with consider able opposition in that section.
