The city board of health has done the right thing in ordering compul sory vaccination. The thing to do is to see that the order is carried out. We have no doubt this will be done. It is strange that it should be neces sary to force any one to do that which is for his good. It is true that vaccination is a preventive and it is also true that we have smallpox in our midst. Then why not stamp it out and prevent its spread by vaccina tion. Only the other day we read where there were thirty or forty cases of smallpox among the white citizens of a town in this state and that the disease had spread and was spreading because the proper officers had taken no steps to enforce vaccina tion, or to isolate those who had the disease. Smallpox has been in the state for the past eight years and it could be stamped out by vaccination. It should be done. The board of heal-h of this city has done the right thing and should have the hearty co-operation of the citi zens generally. The graded school should not be opened until the children have been vaccinated. \\'ith proper precautlon and the co-operation of the people *ith the officers :he spread of the dis ease can be stopped. Gov. Vardaman. of 'Mississippi. has been criticized for what some con sider discourtesy to the president of the United States and his utterances on the negro question, but the fol lowing paragraph from his recent Thanksgiving proclamation is worth reproducing even this far from the date of its first publication: "In the great bank of eternity I believe the greatest credit will be given to him who has contributed most to the sum oi human joy, who has planted a flower in the fainting heart of despair and kissed it with the sunshine of hope; and who has painted the pallid cheek of care with the rose of health and happiness. Let us, therefore, remember the poor with our substance." That is good arnd 'could be applied at any time of the year as well as on Thanksgiving day. The Kansas City Star in commenting on the senti ment and 'its manner of expression say's: "The country at large had not suspected the fiery Mississippian of entertaining such tender sentiments. The great bank of eternity, the flow er planted in the heart c f despair, the painting of the pallid theek of care with the rose of hea'h---who could resist the appeal of these im passioned images? Not the least of Mississippi's reasons for Thanks giving is it poet-governor." SThe New York state court of ap peals has decided that the eight hour labor law adopted in that state is uin constinutianal. There was differ ence of opinion in the court and a dissenting opinion was filed. It is said vhile the opinion decides this paricular case in question the law or the principle of the law is not clearly decided. The dissenting opinion holds that -an eight hour law is per fectly constitutional because "it is a police ,regulation in the interest of public health and morality." We believe such a la'w is not only constitutional but right and -'that such a law in this state, reducing 'the hours of labor in our factories, would be in the interest of public health and ot only so but with shorter hours better production and more of it could be obtained. In fact there is a law now fixing the number of hours, but they are too long and should be reduced at least six hours per week. WVe believe it would be to the interest of the employer and the employe to have such a law. In commenting on the heavy re ward offered by Gov. H{eyward for R. A. Adams., of Colleton county, the Hampton Guardian has the follow g: "1 Sheriff. Buford, of Newberry, ... tindlAe this case Murderer Adams would be back in jail in a short time. Newberry's sheriff has captured more escaped prisoners than any sheriff in the state." This is a compliment to Sheriff Bufard anl he deserve it. 1,,n fact it is the dmv of the sheriff to capture al perS0ns charged with crime in their respective counties without reward. Adams has been captured and the sheriff of Colleton makes no claim for the reward. Sheriff Buford has never made claim for reward for any The legislative circus will open an engagement of forty days in Colum bia next month. Send in your sub scription.-Greenville News.

But it will be a good time to send in new subscrip tions to The Herald and News for our friends in the county will want to know what is done and The Herald and News will have a representative on the ground, who will keep its read ers posted with two letters a week. *Magistrate Moorman has decided that dispensary constables are tres passers if they remain on premises after receiving notice to quit, even though they were on the premises for the purpose of maing search for con r ~ goods.
