J Vrktp<? and offioe-'holdms: for wor?en. on a limited scale, is an issue which has been injected into the South Carolina legislature. If womer are to vote in some elections, why not in * all? However, we are not discussing 1 woman's suffrage. Harmony seems to have charac-teriz- ; ? u-aaL'^ occjoinnc nf thp < CU L11C IllOl n gcu o ~- ^ , general assembly?at least, all the ] legislative reporters say so, and The i Herald and News has observed noth- i ing to the contrary. What's the use 1 to get* mad and kiss, anyway? 1 ,mm? J Yesterday was the anniversary of \ the birth of as great a man, both in ] war and in peace, as this nation has ] yet produced. The schools of South 3 Carolina can not do better than, on , each recurring anniversary of his natal day, to instill into the children ] the lessons of courage, devotion, self- j sacrifice and true nobility, which may ( be learned from the life of Gen. Robert E. Lee. According to Comptroller General : Tnnpc the nnnroDriations asked for the 1 various enterprises of the State and < the expenses necessary to run the 1 government will take a levy of over ; 7 mills for State purposes, and this '< does not include the one mill for the schools. And nothing for t ie roads. Just where or how to cut is a very 1 d'fficult problem. Interest on the 1 State debt, Confederate pensions, and i the maintenance of the State Hospi tal for the Insane, call for nearly one v. half of the amount necessary. It is : impossible to economize on these three items. There was an average of three applications a day during 1913 for admission to the asylum. The general assembly has done a good thing in killing the bill provid ing for medical examination before marriage. Nothing has been more < sickening of late than this talk about "eugenics." We have so many laws rvrt-n- f>iot nno Mn hnrdlv walk down town without violating one. There are surely a few things which in this age of laws without end should be left to family control and guidance?and one of them which the law should not in/ terfere with, it dcres seem?in this State, at least?is the choosing of one's partner for life. Reason, of course, should govern in everything, but the State can not set itself up in place of the family in those things which belong to the family. We notice that two bills have been j introduced in the legislature along [ the line of the recommendation of j Gov. Blease as to smoking in cafes and public dining rooms. We agree V that it does not look right to us nor does smoking in such places agree with our ideas of the pronriatifto hilt it H APC Tint nnTlPfll t.f> US " ? ? ftr ? as a matter for legislation. It would only add another law to the books to be constantly violated. If public sentiment will not condemn it you can scarcely legislate successfully against ' it. Unfortunately as we see it we are ! losing a great Seal of that courtly | I spirit which characterized the South-, ern gentleman of the old school, and ; we think it is to our detriment. We need to teach these high ideals in our j schools. We can't wait to instil them j by force of law. J In the estimate of expenses of the State government for the year 1914, as contained in the report of the J comptroller general, it will be noted j / that several large increases are ask- j ed for by the State's various institu- j tions, and that the total over 1913 is largely increased. The State is prosperous, it is true, but taxes are now very high. The State's institutions have to be supported, but economy should be the watchword. Appropriations which may be of great benefit may not be necessary at this time. Efficiency we must have, but efficiency j vith econonjy. Of course, each indi- . t idual item of expense should be con- s >idered upon its own merits, and the settled policies of the State should be wisely carried out. But useless j items should be cut out altogether, | j and items which are extravagant, a j i good many of which will no doubt!( be found, should be cut down. The United States senate commit- j 1 " >->* > nrJvilQtroc anr? ol or>t inn <! has ICC Uil ?Ji 1 ? uuu voted against the seating of Frank P. j i Glass as senator from Alabama. Mr. 1 Glass was appointed by Gov. O'Neal ^ to fill an unexpired term. It is held t that under the new constitutional , amendment for the direct election of senators, Gov. O'Neal did not have the ] right to fill the vacancy, the legisla- ( tare not having had the opportunity , to provide a method of filling such J ] cflPAnnies under the new law. It has !, been stated that the Alabama gover- | nor did not want an election before I I :be Underwood-Hobson contest for the cng term was settled. The governor, lowever, simply contended he had the right to appoint. The senate committee holds otherwise. The South Carolina legislature will aave to pass an Act at this session n conformity with the new directjlections law. T a.4-' \T rv TTT _ w ny is it me uusiiicss xiifju ui .\cnoerry will not get together and form } some sort of business men's organization for the general welfare of the 1 community? We need it. We have as ?cod business men here in Newberry as , any community in the State and they are just as good fellows. What we i need is some sort of business coopera- j tion for the general welfare. .lust a ' < few earnest men working together for . the community could accomplish a sreat deal and they would feel much better if they would do it. All it needs is intelligent leadership. We ] need to help each other. No man can < live to himself alone. i "Don't you- know it's the part of a j brother of man To find what the grief is and help 1 wlien you can? Did you stop when he asked you to 1 give him a lift, Or were you so busy you left- him to 1 shift? nh T L-nrnxr whnt vnu sav mav be true But the test of your manhood is: What did you do? Did you reach out a ihand? Did you find him the road, Or did you just let him go by with his load?" SHOWED WISDOM IN POSTPONING "EUGENICS." The legislature did well, excellently well, in laying off that "eugenics" ; bill without much ado. Whenever State authority comes to touch with a view to modifying the conditions of marriage and parenthood, it is a time to go exceedingly slow, for here you are touching the vitals of society. The truth is that there is abroad m this good land of ours a kind of impatient fret to straighten out human nature all at once and to, do it by legislation in the State capitols. The thing just simply can not be done and that is all there is to it?not by any short cut method, that is to say. Human nature is something to be made better only by infinitely patient processes and we might as well adjust Mid .

A thousand ' . itatutes in the lawbooks will net do t- i Meanwhile, sadden changes demanded of human nature by law merel y makes law ridiculous?a very ser-, ous evil in itself, and adds confus! on to problems already complex and difficult enough. The nation has got i bad attack of acute reformities and cvi.ll recover normal temperature and sanity of thought presently. In the meantime, let us hope that as little mischief will be wrought by those suffering the attack in its extreme forms as possible. Our legislatures will show wisdom as much in what :hey quickly decline to do as in what :hey do this season.?Spartanburg Journal. We agree with you entirely. We lave been protesting against the teniency in our legislatures, both State I ind national, against the idea of regu- | ating everything by statutory enactment. There is entirely too much legslation. Some fellow thinks that hings are not going he would like ind he then at once proceeds to try :o correct it by legislation. The advice that our legislators could accomplish more good by what they eave undone than by what they try 0 do is worth considering. There is 1 mania in this day for regulating sverything by law. "We need to instill nore respect and regard for law rath;r than make more law. This is the " ,vork largely of the school and the lome. There is a maxim that the least governed are the best governed. It is :r^e, but we are not going on that principle in this day. We should bark back to the good old days. STATEMENT Of the Condition of the Bank of Po- ? maria, Located at Ponuria, S.
