Newberry: The city that does things.
It was stated in the papers Satur
day that the first week of the legisla
tive session had seen about 200 new
bills poured into the legislative hop-,
per. Of course. a great many of these
will never become law, but at this
Tate the record of 1,000 new measures
for the session will be bfoken. It
would be a good idea for the legisla
ture to have a committee to pass upon
the new measures and not have dupli
cates introduced so frequently, espe
cially this early in the session.
The Herald and News is a modest
newspaper and doesn't often speak of
itself, but we desire to express. our
appreciation of the efforts that are be
ing made by the young ladies who are
ix the contest to win that $425 piano,
and we wish that every one could se
,ere it. Yesterday we received 80 new
eubscriptions, paid for in advance.
That was a pretty good record for one
day.
The Herald and News will soon be
back to its ofiginal list of 2,300.
When 7e bad that list however, we
were probably giving the paper to 600
*r 700 people who did not pay for it
then and bave not paid since. When
we get back this time we will be
there with a paid-in-advance list. We
are printing for this issu! over 1,900
wopies, and at the rate the new ones
are coming in, it will take only a
short -time to reach the 2,300 mark.
THE PARK.
It iis our intention to give the peo
ple'of Newberry an opportunity dur
ing this week of establishing the park
to 'which regerence was made in our
last issue. We propose to submit the
question to those who desire to have
a part in this good 'work for Newberry

This is
n such a manner that they may see
Lnd know just exactly the conditions
ipon which it is proposed to estab
ish this park. We very much hope
hat there will be no opposition to it
Lnd that those who do not feel like
-ontributing of their means, may con
ribute of their moral support and en
,ouragement.
This is a matter which will be of
,reat and lasting benefit to all oir
yeople and we propose to have the
>lans so arranged that every one may
>e able to have an oppoftunity in the
stablishing and building and main
:enance of this park.
We believe that the people of New
>erry realize the importance of a city
park, and we are pleased to state that
;o far we have not heard the slightest
ypposition, but bvery one with whom
we have talked seems enthusiastic.
WOULD LEAD TO ABSURDITY.
We do not see the necessity nor the
wisdom for the bill introduced by
3enator Summers making it a mis
iemeanor for a member of the legis
ature or any other State officer to be
n the employ of a public service cor
portion, To carry out this idea to its
Last analysis would prevent anybody
Lrom accepting office who had any
>ther position or occupation. It is
.rue, that legislation affecting public
ervice corporations comes up for
,onsideration. It is also true that
Legislation affecting the medical pro
ession, the newspaper profession and
he farming profession frequently
ome up for consideration, and it
would be just as reasonable to con
hlude that men receiving their daily
read in these other occupations and
professions would be inclined to leg
islation for them, as it is to presume
that men who are in the egmploy of
public service corporations would not
be honest in dealing with matters of
legislation afecting them. In other
words, to; carry this idea to its last
analysis would prevent anybody serv
ing as a legislator who hield any other
position or had any other occupationi
la civil life.
The constitution of 1895 makes it
vry clear that a member of the legis

EL
lature shall not hold any other posi
tior under this State or under the
United States except notary public or
a place in the militia and goes on to
say that if any member of the legisla
ture shall exercise any of these posi
tio,s of honor or profit his seat in
the legislature sha.ll be declared va
cant. This provision of the consti
tution is ignored by the legislature,
because a number caf its pres'ent mem
bers are holding other positions un
die)r this State.
Work for a public service corpora
tion is not a position under the gov
ernment, but a great many people oc
cupy these positi:ns -as a means of
living, -and we do not see why they
should be deprived of the right to do
so and at the saine time serve their
State as legislators. Besides, these
public service corporations, at which
Mr. Summers' bill is directed, are
very large contributors to the treas
ury of the State in that they pay a
very large amount of taxes.
Senator Summers, if he so desires,
may find some members in his own
chamber who are today violating the
State constitutioc. It would be a good
idea for the general assembly to see
to it that its own members obey and
respect the fundamental law.
White Man Shoots Negro.
George Dominick, a young white
man, Friday evening shot Willie
Mitchiell, a nlegro, and probably fatally
wounded him at Helena. Dominick
was given a preliminary by Magis
trate Chappell and was granted bail in
the sum of $500.
The negro was sent to a hospital in
Columbia.
