That's about the way we feel about it, and vet the establishment of a good thing, and something that would be worth while, should not be made dependent upon tearing something else down. That we should have somej systematic system of road building; we do not think any one will for a j ^moment question. 'We believe it would j save many times its cost to have some j intelligent and competent expert to i l lay out the road work for the State.! Some one who knows how. That is; the great need today. It would save much more than its cost and besides 'be a stimulus to road work. Here's a bet if you want it: That the Hon. Josephus Daniels will be the last man in the Wilson cabinet to resign?if at>all. "VVe feel that we risk nothing in saying that Brother JoSephus may be depended upon to stick to the shiv 'o state "till the last ga-( ^ loot's asbore."?Augusta Chronicle. Well, why shouldn't he stick to the ship and be faithful to the president and the party? Such faithfulness should be commended. . What a great opportunity to drag the roads. They are in condition now after the recent rains to make dragging and scraping pleasant and profitable. Get busy and let us have at least two hundred miles of road in the county dragged in the next five days. It would be easy and cos| very little and be worth a whole lot to the roads atod to the people. We are inclined to the opinion that same sort of conciliatory board would be a good thing. We publish today Gov. Manning's special message on the subject. It would be worth a whole lot in the settlement of disputes ' between employer and employe. It | would be worth money to both. And generally t'nese differences can be adJusted to the satisfaction of all parties concerned if the right people with j some authority to act can take hold , of the situation in time. But, as Gov.! Manning says, if either party to the j difference makes a suggestion to arbitrate it is too frequently taken as an admission of being in the wrong. The Tight sort of a board could do this and save a whole lot of loss to both , employer and employe. j The senate has passed t'ne new circuit bill almost unanimously. The > opposition, if there was any, was so little that you could not recognize it. That will give us 14 circuit judges It -will be up to the governor now to say whether ne will approve the bill. URAMS KEPRIL'VA "\ TAX, BERTS CASE j Governor, at Pardon Board's Suggestion, is Having Prisoner's Mental State Probed. The State. Gov. Manning yesterday granted a reprieve for 60 days to 4-lbert C. Talbert of Greenwood, who was convict . ed at the spring term 1915 court ot general sessions, Greenwood county, on the charge of murder and sentenced by Judge Thomas F. McDow to be electrocuted on April 2. This sentence was stayed on appeal and the appeal was later abandoned and Talbert was resentenced to be electrocuted o;i December 10. The governor has received a large number of strong petitions urging him to commute t'ne sentence of this prisoner to life imprisonment, because of the prisoner's low mentality and imbecility. It is urged that this man's mind is weak and that he was not responsible for his action. The governor, upon recr\f T.O -n^rv-r, io U11JIliruua i ivii u:c j'ttiuv/n k;vnu u. 10 making a full investigation and experts are making, at ihe governor's request, an examination of this prisoner for the purpose of advising in referenc to his mntalitv.

Whitmire, Feb. 12?The people of Wtyiitmire were saddened, but not sur J prised Sabbath evening when it was made known that the spirit of IM'rs. J. 1. Young had returned to God who gave it. Mrs. Young had been in failing health for some months and had spent several weeks at the Pryor hospital in Chester. All that a loving husband, devoted children and skillful physicians cor-ld do, was done to lestore her to health but of no avail. So on the beautiful afternoon of February 6, 1916, in her own home, surrouned by her husband, her eight j grown children, her sons-in-law and many loving friends and relatives the spirit crossed tne Dar ana we realize that "she can never come back, to us, but we may go to her." Mrs. Young was among the most honored and best loved women of our town. As they traveled the pathway and Mr. Young had been maried 40 years. As they traveled the pathway of life, they helped each other and by dint of perseverance strict economy, and devotion to duty they have amassed considerable property, and have ??An I A f A! 1 Awri A? f A ^ 1 /~l V* A r* I Cdl CU LilC iUIlUWUlg C15HL LliilUlCil, of which she was, and had a right to ho ircrv nrrmH* Mp?r1 a rn Pc "D Dunpfln Whitmire; J.
