It was Dr. Mitchell wno said in At lanta that the greatest and best asset that the South possessed was the manhood of its citizens. That is a great asset for any community and without it all else is of mighty little s Talue. There is a big figlf on in Atlanta to get rid of nepotism in the city gov ernment. The mayor is making the fight and those who have relatives in the employ of the city are opposing it. It all depends on the view-point. Same in this State. Same old story, as to whose ox, is gored. The committee appointed ion the Greenville-Columbia highway should talk up the proposition in their com munities and keep the interest up. Constant agitation is the only way we can make this movement a suc cess. Of course it must b3 agitation of the right kind. From the Atlanta papers one would1 judge that Woodrow Wilson was the big man at the commercial congress held last week in Atlanta. He is a big man and much in the public eye at this time, but the man for the Democratic nomination for the presi dency next time, if the Democrats de sire to win, is Harmon, of Ohio. Praesident Kohn announces a very attractive trip for the press gang the coming summer via Clyde Line from Charleston to New York and return for $16.00. Such a trip would be pleasant, profitable, restful and economical. If the members want an outing this is the thing they are look ing for. It frequently happens that a sub scriber rushes word to The Herald and News office that he didn't want! his paper dropped. Why wait until this is done, as it has to be done? It is easy enough to look at your label and see how it stands. It would beI a great convenience to the of!!ce to have subscribers renew promptly. That was a good good roads meet-I ing which met at Newberry last Fri day. It was composed of business *men who meant business and there were no hot air artists present. We need to keep up the enthusiasm and j we -will build not only the road from af Greenville to Columbia, but we will tt -stimulate work in other directions as a: well. n We have had a number of the far- r mers along the proposed highwaytele us they were ready to help whenever i help was needed. The purpose is to ir demonstrate how much can be done ei by co-operation and how little time and labor and money it will take when every one does his part. Every 5, boly together at the same time doing gj his part is the keynote of the situa tion-.d GOV. BLEASE AND THE SUTPREM[E pa COUET. In the matter between Governor o Blease and the supreme court as to w special judges and special courts, we! cc believe that the people of the State ju generally are of the opinion that we of have had an excess of special judges ac and special courts. {ju It will be recalled tnat only a few ai years ago, there were eight circuits w in this State and eight circuit judges, and when the proposition was sub- ce mitted to the legislature to increase; it the number of circuits and judges to:e ten, the argument was used that by* st doing so. we would be rid of the nec- be essity for extra courts and special al, judges. It was stated that population th had increased, and, of course. busi- co ness had increased and that eight us ju~dges were overworked, and could ur not give. speedy hearing to litigants, re and that the time had come for an in- be crease in the number of judges and su c~w~'~ ~' act was passed and the Pc ~ATHLETIC CUT CLOTHES" KAHN' DREYFUS3 C Co.

Surely said THE ses elected, but, only a few years sup 'tr, the same trouble came before cond legislature, and two more circuits tha dtwo more circuit judges were he acssary, it was claimed, to dispatch tion ebusiness as it should be. As a con1 islt, two more circuits were creat- bles ,and two more judges elected, mak- coni g12 circuits and 12 circuit judges, H ead of eight only about seven or ps gt years ago. Jthat ast year, we are told, there were judg e special judges appointed than carn he history of the State. The peo-, w7 ,therefore, are of the opinion gen- omo~ ly that there is really no pressing extr and for special yudges and extra whe rrs of court, and the sentiment is whe ty generally in favor of a stop in Icou: appointment of special judges. We that leve that the people gnrlyyr ld have approved Mr. Blease's spec se in not appointing special havy es, but when he furnishes a list mar ligibles to the supreme court, he and, its that he will appoint special Govt es if certain lawyers are named, grot ,therefore, weakens his position comn hthe people- that So far as the law of the case is con- furn ed, we are of the opinion that that sclearly not the prerogative of the men utive to declare a statute uncon- the tional, however strongly he may namn onvinced that it is unconstitution Under our system or government TI :is the prerogative of the supreme educ rt.
