{[iABOR LAW VOID. upromo Court Sitting En 11k Declares Law to Be Unconstitutional. udieiary of the State, sitting , has declared uneoiistitutionibor eon tract law. This is in 10 same decision rendered by raw Icy, of the Federal Court, months -t>o, and puts an end speculation as to the validity latute. The court was dividJio question before it. The opinion was written by AsJ list ice Woods and was conn by Chief Justice Pope, Cirdges Watt's, (i a^e. Wilson, d Memniin.i?er, as |o the gente;it? of the opinion, and by >antzler as to the result. The ' opinion was written by AsJust ice Jones, and was conin by Circuit. J mitre Klnyh. and llydrick. iate Justice' Gary tiled ;i sepssent as follows: "1 dissent on the ground that constitutionality IJJ of the sta 1 utis not before the court U| on> habeas corpus proceedings." : Tho case was argued by Mr. W. II. Parker, of Charleston, representing' I the. attorney general. and by Herbert and Benel, of Columbia, as attorrj n-eys for Jack Ilollman, tho old negro yn who was arrested for violation of the I labor contract law. | Gov. Johnson's Platform. j k Washington Post. If the Democratic party is sincere * fl in its desire to seek a Democrat, pure I and undefiled. to whom il can offer L 1 the leadership of the party, what fault can it. find with Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota? That able executive of a single State is rapidly becoming > 6'. a national figure through the sheer >i. force of his democratic principles and good common sense. What other Wj man so completely embodies in his 6wn political views the modern prinH3 ciple^ of the Democratic party? In j.j? him there is no taint of populism, no Mr 'tendency to demagognery, no inclinaP.ij *tion to cling steadfastly to some par'-it ticular, pet idea which he wishes to force Hie party, willy-nilly, to swalW& low. But neither is he a sort of pollll Siticail hell buoy shifting his base acros! -cording to the roll of the waves. He Pr. Ihas come out frankly and stated the , platform on which he stands in no equivocal terms. How does it, com\ pare with the ideas of modern De|y-1 .mocracy? 'First. f!ov. Johnson believes in a tariff reform that will jrive all indus' j tries an erpial chance. That is a Dejfe] mocratic principle as old as the party. Next, lie believes emphaticadly s|j| that (he States alone, not tho Federal government, should have the power |o ffl remedy the corporate and other abusr t *es Proai which they individually suf'' fer, ami that eaHi State ought to have power t<? punish I he eorpora1. I ti'Uis offending within its own lines. The doctrine of Slates' rights was the very milk 0:1 which the party 4*, -was nourished in its infancy. Furthermore. he advocates income JjA-and inheritance taxes, and declares JF l|i-ngain'st imperialism. While asserting J |RfthnI plundering corporations ought to f fiffle checked, this safe and sane Dej|n|iocrat would not attack merely to E?sSk'- !>\>v them nor to prosecute merely Ve'j'ali/e confiscation. Put he is Mfflpehly in favor of legislation that absolutely prevent slock-water|?g nud oven the semblance of fietiM?ns valuations. '!||M"iWhat saifetr and saner ]|hvlform V|i|jnn tins could make the appeal to JwesC't-'inv Democrats? Here is a Ifjraiin who stands for sound, progressive ideas of government, ne has no i ^krticular personal ideas or hobbies ' 0jf interests to represent. Ho pres, ,ent* no inflamnnatory reforms; he ' l%fcthor suggests proper control of tho Institutions that already exist. Can ^'ilie parly find any sounder presiden'' lIlPl' timber in its ranks'? Is there, one I i.i^tter fitted to appease the conservajmMc ranks of tho party, yet who could j ?'80 nblv lead in ail progressive movsi ' What is the matter with Gov. * .,Tohn Johnson, anyway. Democrats? ?siii luw The Maintenance of Earth Roads. may recognize the value of ^iurd and durable roads in all parts I fM'the country, hut still the fact refcJML* that for a long time to come j l majority of the roads will bo com|?i$09ed of earth. Furthermore, in about aion'ths out of the year, the tlr road, if properly cared for. is f^k&j|^a.sonnbly satisfactory. For many Agricultural districts, it is the only l^^rroad at present available. Hence, wfreso communities should pret. themselves seriously to work to learn the Best methods of maintaining earth I Boads and of getting tho maximum 1/ Jpervico from them. Prosperity comes . K*to tho country to a great extent /jfl^hTouffli the prosperity of the far/ ILors. This fact sitronpfly suggests S|0 importance of giving the earth m. road every possible eare and alien- j lion i:i ils local-ion, drainage, eon- ! stnielion and inainlenanee. An earth road composed of water holding soil should l>o exposed to the sun and air as freely as possible, tus ! comparison between the shaded and ! sunny portions of such a road will easily indicate. This should bo accomplished 'by clearing a suffieint amount of trees and undergrowth j away from the road. It must be remembered. however, thai sandy and gravelly roads require Jnoislure, and j :n the/o cases some shade should be I retained. Furtihermore, trees are benolicial along river banks and on *>teep grades subject to washing. Drainage is one of the most imj ]>ortant points (o consider in connect ion with an earth road. The majority ol ear Hi roads in all mountainous and hilly districts have too much drainage. Occasionally a road will be Iouiid with live ditches, three in the middle made by the horses' hoofs j a.id by wheels ol the vehicles, and 1 I'wo on the sides. All well-construct ed earth roads are supposed to have no more than two ditches, one on i each side of the traveled roadway. I Keep Hip waler out of the middle of I the road by giving it a crown of ele- j vat ion in t iio center of 7 1-'2 inches j above llie lop of the inner slope of the ditch tor a 120-foot road, and where the hills are a little steep nt?ke the crown 10 inches. With a crown ol about 1 inch to the foot from the center to the sides, the ditches which are often built across the ; road on steep grades to deflect the ! water will not be needed. Instead , of carrying water across the road in j open ditches, tile or concrete drains 1 should, if jjossible, bo provided. They | should have sufficient capacity and i I fall to carry the maximum amount of ' water thn.t is expected to flow i Ihrou'.'h them at any one time. The' capacity is increased in proportion I to the fall or grade; for instance,! 12-inch pipe laid on a one per cent ! grade will carry 1,800 gallons per minute, while Uie same pipe laid on a 2 per cent grade will carry 2,500 gall <>iis per minute. Furthermore, a culvert laid flat will soon fill up, while one having a good incline will' keep itself clear. In the maintenance of an earth road, avoid the mistake of changing the natural order of things. Natural- | ly the soil is found on top and the clay on the bottom. If this order is reversed in constructing a road, the result will be less salisfactorv than | if the soil bo left at the top of tho | road, for soil makes a belter surPaeo j to a road than clay. If the road bed i is largely clay to start with, it will 1 be well to place sandy soil or clean i sand on top.
