Entered xt the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday,' January 31, 1911. If an automobile is to run only six miles an hour in the city, how fast should a lightless bicycle be permitted to go in Caldwell street in the night time? That is a good piece of work done in College street from Friend to Harring ton. This is work that will last, and fthat is the only kind that should be permitted. There has been too much money wasted in patchwork. Wouldn't it be,a good idea for coun cil to have the recently adopted code of the laws printed in the newsapers for the lben afit of the city officials and the citizens. We are sure the Obser ver will join us in making a special -price to give publicity. to this code. It would be a good idea. f We bSave a letter from Silverstreet with several news items of interest which we would be .glad to print if the name of the writer accompanied the letter-not for publication, but for the dnformation of the office. It is positively against our rules to publish anything unless we know the author, and this rule we strictly adhere to in all cases. For the information of the automo bile drivers and in tJae interest of the safety of human life we would remind the public that there is an ordinance among the statute laws of the city of Newberry solemnly promulgated ' by city council, which says: "Sec. 201. Ev ery automobile, \ocomobile, autocar, or otiher self-propelled velhicle shall be brought to a fu;11 and complete stop by the\ person or persons in charge thereo f in crossing Main (or Pratt) street and Caldwell street at the in tersection of Main and Caldwell styreets." The penalty is not more than $100 or more than 30 days. See? We think Gov. Blease's message as to the winding-uap commission h.ad been better not said. There are some things in it, at least that had been better left * out. We do not believe in casting as persions or in making charges by in sinuation, unless there is evidence to sustain the charges, and if there is, then there is no need to insinuaate. The governor maygave the evidence, We do not know. -*There are a great many things done by the commission that we do not ap prove, and there are a great many peo ple in Sou'th Carolina who are strong iy opposed to the dispensary, and for that matter to .the sale of -liquor in any form, who agree with us. But it seems to us the sooner the State of South Carolina can be rid of th~e whole business the 'better it will be for the happiness and the peace and the prosperity of our people. An investigation by a le.gislative committee during the sessiona will be farcical and to continue it through another year will accomplish nothing. There is no question that Gov. Blease is right as to certain members of the legislature violating the consti tution in holding their seats while dis charging the duties of trustees of va rious State institutions, and one rea son so many of them are not conmnis sioned is that they hold if they are not 'commissioned they are not te?chnically going in the face of the constitution. Of course nothing will t e done by eith *er b.ranch of the general assembly in regard to the matter. The constitution plainly says that any member who discharges the du-' ties of anyk other position, (with two exceptions), of honor or profit under this State shall vacate his seat. But a little .matter of a member of the leg islature violating the constitution can not be taken notice of by the members of the legislature. And 'any one who dares suggest that any of these distinguished statesmen is going in the face of the oath he took and the ''onstitution he is sworn to uphold an-i defend is promptly told a , ---' tro the gov Mr. and Mrs. J.
