We do not condone the violation of law in any respect" says the Tlerald and News: 'bit it is very evident that it is trying to "tpul back", against those who av tryng to have the law enfored. It a%xs that b0canlso one law is violate, an other should be treated the "me way It. is like the "Marlboro Man" who did not believe in trying to n moe evil out till all can be rAnted togethe. The Herald and News avsoanos that after a law has luen violated for a long time, Ihe violAlicn should not he stopped. ior any "hnmah play" made about it "at this late day." Il other worss, wrong he comes right when it is practiced so uenuc that is becomes a habit, 'Tlhe Heralid is probably aware that atteitionl has been Called to the vio lation of the request book law be fore this late day. We condemned the violation a nuimber of ines, as far back as 0overnor Me':Sweenev's admillistration, when the editor -of Trle Herald and News wos the gov ernor's private secretary. We did not get enough help, however, to raise a '1'hurrah play'' sufficient to cause the administration to have the law enforced. ,rite failure to use request books is by no means the gravest wrong that has been committed in the name of the dispensary; but The Herald and News picks out and attempts to smoothe over one of the smaller evils of the system, and wolld lead its readers to infer that '' that is all that is wrong with the dispensary,'' and that ''that. is all that the investiga tioll ealn accomplish.'' How about the label deal, and the glass eon Irac ts, .and the liqu1or illeg.alv bonght ? Does The IHerald and News think that. too m1iuchi noise is being made about, them, at. this late (lly, since graft has existed so long anid has not been1 punished yet ? The Herald and News kind of whitewashing is what has permitted the violation of the law so long, and scared the public conscience - into thinking that it is all right to display the laws you do iot like.-Pee Dee Advocate. The Herald and News has said nothing to indicate that it wolid ap prove any whiewashing of any kind and the Advocate knows it. Yes, you can go back as far as Gov. Tillman's ahninistration and you will find that the request books were not used and everybody knew it. There was no need for an investigation. comimit tee to find ouit this. We repeat if that is all that is wrong with thle manage imiint , thlen thle dispiensa ry is in good shape. The point we made was not thant it was right to v'iolate thle provision of the dispensary as to request hooks, bg~t as everybody knew tis pr.ovision of t he law had never beenI eniforced that it waIs a waste of. time anid energy for the commtittee to 'he mak-I ing any " 'hurrah '' shout it and itf that wuas all they could find wrong wuithI the managenient the institution was in good shaSpe. The commiii~on was not appoinitedl to find out what everybody knew and( could prove. Let the committee tell us about the label deal and the glass contract and liqour illegally bought and if the Advocate hats any evidence along fliat line let it tell the committee what it knows. The Herald and News makes no charge, because it .has no prooft. What we wuanit is the evidence. There hias been a sufficiency of cha rges. WANTS INFORMATION. l'Xditor Lau1ii(nsivillc IIerald: Cana you inform-i a culriouis pulic, Mr'. lICditor, whyi~ the dates for hold ing the Sessionis Court have been changed? Was there any real neces sity for such change 1 It is cert ainly a great hiardlsihp on the farmer to be dragged from his home at this time of year, as July would have been a much more leisure month wuith the farmers. *If you can ehilightenu us on this ques-. tion, please do so. A Farmer. After careful enquiry wve are on ) y able to' inform ''A Ft~armer'' that thie change of (late for holding the w.sessions courst for Laurens counity is- one of those mysterious eases of legislation that crops out every nowv atid thsn. It seems' that there wvas a SoNate Bill prepared by the Senator Lifom Aiken county for a change in Th date for holding the courts in that ounty, and a'fter thi Bill was sent to the-House, Mr, HiUggIn, ow etrryt , I the thirt s # oth 1 , ad it a 4 hiclude the 8th okrokit' "A 01mbrated hiia ntlyn t tention la paIid tW iM1 111* ot h* kind, aud the tk wvs erked Wichs out. eAting1AW Oft RepInetatves in the Howies Thte I* dwinktt k s t whther 'the~ amende poyri of ~% 110 t *1101 tk* AehWVdk INN~TAUM the ti1i WW* 6vor %ftWAv lv the And It VeVA 4hin* livm kd tA t"ee the VM0Wt* vt * 14#* ligia. - i) ammH'flA~~!.$Olifhe'cgl Itie mV eil" the it o a th pixqar W to ha vm W* \ev ieree Me,mor it woAl d M4101-M Ang ) t6ha to be -.vnt b te ie'k k'it desk al \ait real 'in t-%en sowsimn of thle legislit 14n1e And Peen lte it had to gp bawk to4 11hP te*,nsktex for coernebefore it eoulldi b*e6MI1 a law, It could not have% beenl donit 0c1ande-stinlel anld ther 1 cud4 hardly have beenl any ti abou it. So much for the way in which the am1111011eni,hent was adof ed. As to the merits of the cllange md the ohjection of "1A Farmer' there is muich 'which eay lbe said in favor of the change. As the old law stood the courts in the circuit start ed in May and skipped along through the entire summer whereas under the amlenlhent they start and go along until the sunmmer terms are concluded and the officers of the court have a little rest all thrown together. Be sides " A Farmer'' ad the Herald should remember that there are five counties and all five of the counties could not have had two weeks of coui.t each in the month of July. Besides that the jurors are never kept fromi home long at a tine in the sum mer in attendance upon the courts. Of course this is a matter of opion ioll as to the time each county should have court and it. would be difficult to please all of the counties at the same time. But i any event it is not just to Mr. Ilig. ginls to ch(ooe sinlsiter mo tionl and trickng becaluse the amend ment wias evidently read in tihe house and voted oi and then the whole bill with the amendment was sent to the Senate for concurrence and read and gonieurred in there before it becamne a law. AS TO SOHEDULES. The Columbia Chamber of Commer ce and the Oreenville News are now advocating the change of schedule which was agreed upon by the rail road olicials and the railroad cori missioners at a meeting held on the 16th of March, but which has since been called off. If these two in. Iluences had been brought to bear when the matter was up, the prob ability is we would have had the schedule in operation today. We are gladl, however, they have conme in even at this late day, for the reason that it is our' purpmose to keep ill this fight until we get thle change of schedule thait waus agrceed uponi at thle dhate muent ioned beca use we believe such a schmedule will be for the best interest of the railroad and the ma jority of the pecople who live along the line bet ween G reeniville and Co lumbia. We ate satisfied that there will be lit tle d(itficulty in securing a majority~ of thle p)eople along th liee in thle endlorsement of such a schedule. We have never understood why the p)eop)le of Columbia were not more active in securing this, morning train inito their city. It certainly would be to the advantage of the business men of the city, because it would give peopleC for at good wvays out of the city ani olportunity to go there and to spendl several hours wvithiout hay ing to sptend the night. The people of Lauirens, by being a little too fast, have p)ostponled prob utble indefInitely a passenger train to Columbia on t hat roamd by asking Mr. ('hildls to delay his mornting freight out of' Cohainhin for a coupjle of hours ini order to ge't t he Columbia State. I Ie hdl deccicded to make his thirough treighit into Columbia inm the morning andc omit in the afternoon a passenger train, b)ut just a day or two before this change was miade a committee from Laurens went dowvn asking the o)ther change, which gave Mr. Childs an excuse to defer the change which he had already decided upon on the ground that he would make both of them at the same time. If they had just waited until we had gotten the first, theni they might have gotten both However, wve will hope to get these changes made, and if we get our peo ple here to sustain us in our fight, we shall be glad to take it up' in a ss temautic way with the other towns along both roads wihieh are interested.

An interesting instance of color mimicry in spiders has been observed in the south of France. The spiders of that region when in search of prey hide in the convolvulus flowers. It has been noticed that a white variety of spider frequented the white flow ers. A greenish colored variety made the green flowers his home, and a pink one lived principally in the pink flow ers. The colors of the three varieties were at first supposbd to be perma nient, but it has recently been discov ered that the color of any one of these spiders changes within a few (lays if the insect he plavcel in the convolvulus of a different colored flower from that which he has -been usiig as his home. Four spiders pink, white, green anl yellow in color -were all put in a box together, and within three days all were white. Keep the cows clean and wash the udders before milking.
