H. AUJLL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New Emrry. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, January 21, 1908. EDITORIAL !CORESPONDENCE Columbia, S. C., Jan. 20.-One week of the legislature session has closed. The first week there is usu ally very little accomplished, excep: getting matters in shape and intro dueing bills and getting reports. As has been stated the general as ..sembly accepted an invitation to vis it Winthrop college on Saturady, and there was therefore :o session of either house or senate. Both houses meet again tonight at eight o'clock' but very little will be done. The elections will likely be held on Wed nesday. Mr. T. P. Cothran has withdrawn from the race for associate justice and that assures the re-election of Associate Tustice Giary. For circuit judge to succeed Judge James Ald rich four names have been mention ed. Robert Aldrich, George H. Bates and James E. Davis, of the Barn well bar and Calude E. Sawyer, of Aiken. The friends of these candi dates are active but from what I can gather it would seem that the chances at present are in favor of the elec tion of Colonel Aldrich. Quite a number of measures have been introduced on 'all subjects but it would seem that the leading issues to be discussed at this session of the general assembly are State prohibi tion, labor tcontracts, the lien law, increased appropriations for various and sundry objects. As has been stated from time to time in The Herald and News, we be lieve if the friends of State pro hibition could agree upon some meas ure. their chances of success would be very good, but the trouble seems to be that there are several different propositions looking to the same end and if the friends of each proposi tion hold out for their particular ideas. the chances are that no genaral prohibition law will be passed. The sentiment seems to prevail that the majority of the house is in favor of prohibition and that in the senate there is pretty equal division of sen timent. These 'being the facts it is difficult to even forecast what the result will be. There seems to be little doubt that some sort of labor contract law will be adopted. All of the various pro positions have been r f erred to a 3.pecial committee to report a bill~ which is thought will be constitution al. The lien law will take up consider able discussion and the indications now are that it will be repealed. It is a matter which should have ser ious consideration because it is a sys tem of .credit which has been in vogue in this State for some thirty years and while it has been abused there is no doubt that it has been of great assistance to a great ~many people. 'Thre demand for its repeal, however, fromn the farmers generally and the farme 's organizations will have con :siderable influence upon the vote of the inembers. -The prohibition bill has already been discussed briefly, that is the one introduced by Mr. Nash at the last session, but whi-ch was recom mitted, retaining its place on the1 calendar, for the purpose of getting the friends of prohiibition to agrre upon one measure. Compulsory education is set for *discussio.n on Wednesday. At -the j 'last session two bills were introduc ed along this line, one by Mr. Ker shtaw, of Florence, and one by Mr.K Aull, of Newberry. Thre com~mittee on education at the last session took these two bills :and from them r.e ported a substitute. which was ae' eeptaible to Mr. Kershaw and Mr. Aull. The substitute will be discussedI] by the house on Wednesday. The most important matter, as it seems to me. is the question oft apl propriations. As I have stated. the tendenev seemns to be to ranitinlg al most anyvthing~ that is asked. Gov ernor Ansel recommends that an ad ditional two mills be added to the State levy for past indebtedness. It is not probable that this recommen dation will be heeded. Winthrop col lege wants about .$60,000 for a new dormitory. The friend of high schools will want aibout *~>0,000 again this y-ear and it is supposed that the South Carolina University will need more money. . The ways and means crom mtee 1il hear. the d.madS of in several institunti1o: durling' this week wtith a1 view to Wetting. tihe apipro prition bill ini as e'arly aspoib. Sia.teo Reforimat ory at Florence, -hic las yea wated $65,000. ' ,urse i: ev sati e denands i11 p(ensiosi.- for Confederate. soldier: vill he made. R-epresentative Aill ha introduced a bill to levy a one mil tax for pensions which is about th amount that is now appropriatxi and his bill provides that the more' collected in each county shall be dis. bursed in that county, but it doe not propose to change the presen pension laws. Mr. Aull also has a bill for th4 establishment of rural imounted po lice, which was brought over fron last year. The original idea of th bill was to let these mounted policc take the. place of the dispensary con stafbles and: be paid out. of the dis pensary funds, but after the iStatt dispensary ?'as abolished the bill hai to be changed. Mter conferenc< with Representative Nash, of Spar tanlburg, and other mem1bers, it wa decided to offer as a substitute a bil which provides for the rural mountek police, leaving to each county to sup ply the number. The bill repeaas al laws which provide for State consta bles and for magistrate's cotnstables the intention being that the mounted police should perform the duties of these offices as well as be conserva tors of the pealce and look after the enforcement of all laws. It provides: also, for a police commission compos ed of two free holders of the county who do not hold any political office and the sheriff of the county. Thes. to appoint and have supervision of the mounted police. There is to be e chief in each county at a salary >f $75 per month and Mr. Aull pro poses two additional policemen for Lewberry coun,ty at $60 per month. kll of these to do patrol duty. The State constable and the mag istrates' constables in this county aow cost about $2.000. Under this ill h-he three mounted police would nly cost $2320 and it seems to me hat the additional )ro,taction which hey would give to the people in the rural districts would fully justify hat. appropriation. Mr. Nash pro pose!- for Spartan'burr county four teen mounted policem?n. This measure wvill very likely come ip for discussion durina this week. AS TO ROADS. .The U. S.

Reports from al,l over th1e countrv agree in the statemen.t that the salk ofholiday post cardt; was a record reaker. It was far 'beyond the ex >eetations of tihe most sanguine dea1k rs and post offices everywhere block d wnith the mass of cards wihich >oured ini tihe def~ precedinig Christ nas. Ne'w Year's was not quite sq narked, but the New Year rush was normons and eclipsed anytihing pre ously known in -the history of tihe usess. The sale of 1-cent, postage stamps it the New York post office the day e'fore Christmas a2geregated $90.000. [he total numiber of Christmas cards nailed at New York exceeded 12,000, )0. Tihe t6ta:1 number of New Year ardh mailed at tihe same office ex ~eeded 9,000,000, but the office was -eav for the New Year rush and the nails were not blocked. 'The same condritions prevailed in ll other post offlces. For example, it Newark, N. J., 1.250,000 pest card-s vere mailed, and so unex;ected was he rush tihat. 700.000 remained in the )ost office undelivered over Christ nas tlav. n a New JTersey suburm. having a '':am 1of 1 2.000 people orer 20. )00 Christmas cards were mailed. andl )robaby close to 15.000 New Year istrict wvho handles post cards and .nid'entaly accomm4da:tes his pal on with Le -en t tampn. sold 2.000 ~tamps the day before Christmas. These fcw ineidents a re gziv en as .ndation's of the tremendous 'busi iess in holiday post cards in the vi inity of New York.
