Richards comes out in favor of a j straight two-cent a mile rate for passenger travel. If the roads can afford to sell mileage books at two cents a mile wo do not see why they could not afford to sell fares at the same rate. A man out in the State of Washington is sueing his doctor because he didn't die. His physician told him that he had cancer of the stomach and could not get well and in order to leave his property in cash he sold out his business. Now he finds that the doctor was mistaken and he is well, but his 1 " " n Trrnntc! tV>Q I lousiness IS suut; emu nc nauw uwlor to reimburse him to the extent of $15,000; He should be rather glad that his doctor made a wrong diagnosis of his case. Dear old split-log drag: We have heen so busy with contests and elections and things, that wehave neglect- . ftd vmi for awhile, but we haven't for gotten you, by any means, and just as soon as we have time to write (and nothing to write about) you will certainly hear from us.?Cherok?e Lantern. The Herald and News never neglects thei split-log drag. We have promised ourselves to srive it the right of way | over politics, contests and "things." It is too valuable in road construction and road up-keep to be neglected. MUST STOP IT. / Commenting upon the address of \fr w a. Sirrina before the Southern Appalachian Good Roads convention in Atlanta, tbe Spartanburg Journal says: "The advice given by Mr. Sirrine, of Greenville, to the, good roads convention in Atlanta, tfiat the people of the country would take more interest in building better roads if the automo- . "bilist would be more considerate, is j good and timely. There is no excuse for a man racing over the country at a rate of speed over 30 miles an hour." : Other papers have endorsed the speech while the general public is , i_ waruuj wuuu^uumg *?.. iuvh, iw ?*, fueling that the time has come to put an end to speeding.?Greenville Piedmont. There is no doubt of the correctness of Mr. Sirrine's advice. Automobile owners and drivers can aid very ma-! terially in road building and road up- j Keep, ana ai me same ume gei iuc people in the country interested in good roads if they would be* a little i more conside*atev and a little more1 I careful in driving their automobiles! ^ through the country. The tendency to j reckless SDeeding: seems to take pos /*? . ^"s session of every one who drives a car, j and they become imbued with the idea that the right of way belongs to the automobile drivers and that upon the sound of their warning gong all other vehicles should immediately turn out j ~ A TXTV? + v?i Uie 15JO.U. V* UctU YYC UCCU IC> IUC : operation of everybody in the building of better roads. To the farmer who does not own an automobile there is nothing particularly atractive in con structing a road which will attract "speed maniacs," \tfith no regard for the rights of the farmers who build and keep up the road. The bond issue for the development of the pew asylum has been defeated. Under the constitution of the State an amendment to increase the bonded indebtedness of the State must have received not only a two-third vote of the legislature to submit it to the voters or tne state, out it must aiso receive a two-third vote of the people voting ; in order to carry. The provision of the constitution on this point reads as fol-! lows: I Article 10, Section 11 -"To the end that the public debt of South Carolina may not hereafter be increased without the jlue consideration and free consent of the people of th State, the general nssembly is hereby ;'orbMci '-i A. a - r j.t .1. * .. i i: . io cre:ue ary u: ruier ui.*ui < j oi.hij; tio:i, either by ih' loan of the or : of the State, l.y r:i:ity, endorse m or ot* v' ' * for t- crd< " .. ?r " a.,t0 out first submitting the question as to the creation of such new debt, guaranty, endorsemnt or loan of its credit to the qualified electors of this State at a genera] State election; and unless two-thirds of the qualified electors or this State, voting on the question, shall be in favor of increasing the debt, guaranty, endorsement or loan of its credit, none shall be created or made." Of course the development will not be stopped, because the work has reached that stage now where it would be poor economy and bad judgment and a financial loss to tbe State to discontinue it. And besides the State can not afford not to provide suitable and proper accommodation {or these unfor tunate wards of the State. The legislature will have to make some provision for their care. We believe if the people had understood thoroughly the proposition in the proposed bond issue it would have been voted, because it was a good proposition and only proposed to use the present asylum propertv tn nav for the new nronertv and the bond issue was only a simple and economical plan to make the transfer without financial loss to the State. If the plan had been explained to the people in the campaign, instead of waging a campaign of personal abuse, there would have been opportunity for the people to vote intelligently on it THAXXS! The world grows better every year, i lllUUgll It aCCULb tU glUW WUIiC. JTCi- j haps it is worse in part, but on th? whole it is a better world than ever. Let us be grateful for this. We are reaching out a helping hand to the poor, the needy and suffering; as never before. It is a world of sym- j pathy and kindness. It is concerning itself about the evils of the overcrowd_ j A i- ^v.; 1 ^ eu LCliClUeill, UJL CJLIIXU ldUUl, KJL WUllC slavery and intemperance. Such a i widespread sentiment against these and kindred wroDgs has been aroused j that reformatory legislation has been; enacted and these evils have been mitigated. In time they will almost dis appear. Let us be grateful for this. In no other time have we had more or better institutions for the care of the sick, the disabled and the feeble- i minded. Hospitals are now like hotels : I and orphan, asylums are liice- country homes. State prisons are no longer dungeons ana we are 'ing 10 reiorm i as well as punish the misdoer. Lec us be grateful for this. The cry for human liberty is worldwide,. Monarchies are giving way to republics. Even China is emerging into Liberty's sunlight. Kingly rulers are yielding to the demands for a more popular form of government. A 11 despotisms are doomed, including the last and the worst?in Turkey. Let us be grateful for this. Dynamiters have been brought to the fear of the law. Anarchists who mciiuueu uiiuci a, Liaiiuus u<muei uearing the words, "No God, no Master!" have- been taught that there is no place for them in our commonwealth and; mat a rea rag win not De permitted to; supplant the Stars and Stripes. Let us be grateful for this. Religious tolerance has followed in the wake of human liberty. The Bible is reaching the earth's remotest realms with its mission of peace and goodwill. Let us be grateful for this. Tn tVl Q Hocrinninff uro/. on/1 TJa AU VW.V HI UVU UX1U i.xg created a progressive world. "Onward, Christian Soldiers!"?Leslie's Weekly.

Not only ingratitude to God for the many blessings we receive from him, but ingratitude to our fellowmar for deeds of kindness and words of encouragement and cheer. We believe the world is growing better, but sometimes our faith is sorely tested. Certainly the comforts and conveniences of life, the care of the sick and the helpless, are given more ail-uliuii uicui uuc,y evci Wfie ueiui u in the world's history.
