LABOR LAW VOID. ti State Supreme Court Sitting En Bank Declares Law to Be Unconstitutional. The .judiciary of the State, sitting I en bane, has declared unconstitution al the labor contract law. This is in effect the same decision rendered by Judge Brawlev. of the. Federai Court. a several months 'go, and puts an end a to any speculation as to the validity 1 of the statute. The court was divid ed on tie que.tioni before it. The majority opinion was written by As-r - sociate Justice Woods and was cItnl eurred in by Chief Justice Pope. Cir enit .J.udges Wat s. Ga,t. Wilson. Gary and Meminger. as to the gen eral contents of the opinion. and by Judge Dantzler as to the result. The minority opinion was written by As sociate Justice Jones. and was eon eurred in by Circuit Jud re Klugh. b Prince, and Hydrick. Associate Justice, Gary filed a sep arate dissent as follows: "I di sent on the ground that constitutionality of the statute is not before the court on habeas corpus proceedings." The case was argued by Mr. W. H. K Parker. of Charleston, representing tl the attorney general. and by Herbert and Benet, of Columbia. as attor- a nays for Jaek Holiman, the old negro tl who was arrested for violation of the labor contract law. Gov. Johnson's Platform. fi Washington Post. el If tre Democratic party is sincere in its desire to seek a Democrat, pure and undefiled, to whom it can offer 0: the leadership of the party, what ?l fault can it find with Gov. Johnson, s' of Minnesota ? That able executive f< of a single State is rapidly becoming a national figure through the sheer t force of his democratic principles t and good common sense. What other man so completely embodi"es in his bwn politicaa views the modern prin eiples of the Democratic party? In g Jim there is no taint of populism, no tendency to demagoguery, no inelina tion to cling steadfastly to some par. g ticular, pet idea whieh he wishes to force the party, willy-nilly, to swal low. But neliter is he a sort of po litical bell buoy shifting his base ac cording to the roll of the waves. He ' / has come out frank'ly and stated the t~ platforma on which he stands in no I: equivocal terms. How .does it com- 1 Spare with the ideas of modern De- r .mocracy?r fFirst, Gov. Johnson believes in a Ii Stariff reform that will elive all indus tries an equal chance. That is a Dle- t4 moeratie principle as old as the pa.r-' ty. Next. hre belietes emphatieally b that the States alone, not the Federal s *government, should have ths power to 1i -remedy the corporate and other abus as from which they individually suf fer. and that ea4h State ought to have power to punish the corpora tions offending within its own lines.I The doctrine of States' rights was the very milk on which the party was niourished in its infancy. Furthermore, he advocates income: a,nd inheri.tance taxes. and declares .against imvperialism. While asserting that plundering corporations ought to be ceceked. this safe and sane De moerat would not at-taek merely to destroy them nor to prosecute merely , to 1-eralize confiscation. But he is i<tchly in favor of legislation that. will absolutely prevent stock-water ing and even the semblaL?ce of ficti tions valuations.4 What safe~r and saner rdatform than this could make the appeaItoI present-day Democrats? Here isa a -man who stands for sound, progres sive ideas of government. He has no particular personal ideas or hobbies or interests to represe.nt. He pras ents no inflamnmatory reforms: he ather sgg pr. p'er control of the - institutions that already exist. Canl the party find any sounder presiden tia timber in its ranks ? Is there one better fitted to appease the conserva' tive ranks of the~ party, yet who could so ahly lead in all progressive move ment.s? What is the matter with Gov. John Johnson, anyway. Democrats? SThe Maintenance of Earth Roads. We may recognize the value of hard and durable roads in al.l parts of the country, tbut still the fact re mains that for a long .time to come the majority of the roads will be comn posed of earth. Furthermore, in about ine months out of the year, the ~earth- road, if properly -eared for, is -easonably satisfactory. For many agriculturail districts, it is the only oad at present available. Hence,1 'ecommunities should get them eves seriously to work to learn the st methods of maintaining earth ads and of getting the maximum r'ie from them. Prosperity comes to the country to a great extent trough the prosperity of the far ers. This fact strongly suggests * importance o'f giving thre earth u11 1.1 its localion, dl1-aila' . r(o11 rl'tlon alld maintenance. An earth road composed of water >ldin;; soil should be exposed to the in and air as freely as possible, as >mparison betiween the shaded and innv lrt:ions of such a road will rsily i:ldivate. This should be ac- I opl;il iy ciearing a. sufficint uouut of trees and undergrowth wv: r t he road. It must be re l:...ve..ver, that sandy and avel ro ads require moisture, and t!:e. ecases some shade should be tained. Furthermore, trees are mneficial along river banks and on eep grades subject to washing. 1rai:ia9e is one of the most im ortant points to consider in con ?ctioll with an earth road. The ma >rity of earth roads in all mountain s and hilly districts have too much rainage. Occasionally a road will ? found with five ditches, three in le middle made by the horses' hoofs ad by wheels of the vehicles, and vo on thz sides. All well-construct 1 earth roads are supposed to have o more than two ditches, one on tch side of the traveled roadiway. eep the water out of the middle of ie road by giving it a crown of ele ition in the center of 7 1-2 inches sove the top of the inner slope of le ditch for a 20-foot road, and here the hills are a little st:eep ..ke the crown 10 inches. With a -own of about 1 inch to the foot -om the center to the sides, the dit ies which are often built across the >ad on steep grades to deflect tha ater will not be needed. Instead carrying water across the road in' >en ditches, tile or concrete drains iould, if possible, be provided. They iould have sufficient capacity and dl to carry the maximum amount of ater that is expected' to flow rough them at any one time. The Spacity , is increased in proportion the fall or grade; for instance, -inch pipe laid on a one per cent rade will carry 1,800 gallons per Linute, while the saame pipe laid on 2 per cent grade will carry 2,500 allous per mimte. Furthermore, a ilvert laid flat will soon fill up, hile one having a good incline will eep itself clear. In the maintenance of an r >ad, avoid the mistake of changing ie natural order of things. Natural rthe soil is fonnd on top aind the ay on the bottom. If this order is mersed in constructing a road, t.he asult wil:l be less satisfactory than the soil be left at the top of th3 ad, for soil makes a better surfiaea i a road than clay. If the road bed largely clay to start .with, it will e well to place sandy soil or clean Ld on top.

Card of Thanks. Editor Her,ld and News: Please allow u, a little space to express our appreciatio:. and thanks to many of our friends and parishioners, who so kindly, and abundantly "pounded'' the prasona-ze family. We should have. noted this earlier, but so many thi:'s have claimed our attention. we have been a little tardy. We are now about recovered from the heavy blows and proceed to wrte. in w- on the e-venin of De erYr 24. ju4 as the tiwilight was iiedi:ig to the approaching shades )f night, that the sacred precincts of D 'Neall Street parsonage were invad Ad by i band of men, women. boys. and grls, who were in appearance lecidedly Santa Claus. They pulled up at the dining room ;or, and knocked vigorously for ad mission. On being admitted, they uickly filled the room with bundles of good things to eat. 'These good things consisted of flour, sugar, cof fee, rice, fruits, cakes, pork, hams, turkey, jellies, piokles and other things. Quite a severe pounding. but we have so far survived and feel stronger. After depositing the many bundles and receiving many thanks, they entered the sitting room and there we enjoyed ourselves in social chat and music. Now, that Santa Claus and pound in have, in a measure disappeared, brances abides and will never be for gotten. With the very be t wishes for all concerned, and wit;h renewed zeal and energy we take up the work of a New rear.Sincerely, J. T. Miller.
