Railroad Commissioner John G.
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

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.

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

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: .

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

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_

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 :

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

have- been taught that there is no place
for them in our commonwealth and;

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.

the sin of ingratitude. Not only ingratitude
