"berry citizen, changed his ruling and j granted permits for whiskey on' t.ho j presentation of the affidavit required ty the law, ana wnen ne iook me ai- i fidavit he only charged ten cents for I the permit and nothing extra for the j affidavit. There never was nay ques- j tion about that being the law, and The Herald and News so stated last "week and again this week before we fcnew of the opinion in the Newberry case. The law was as plain as the j English language could make it. j There was no room for difference of j opinion. When the new law becomes operax Hive then it is up to the probate jud?* to diagnose the case and if he is not j satisfied tiiat the applicant needs the whiskey for-medicine ne may require the affidavit or prescription of a physician before granting the permit/ As we said during the session when the law was amended if we were a probate judge we would issue no permits when the new law became operative. Its passage was only the pro11 WA f V> A rQ JLliUlLiUii ir.^ioiaiuic uxxv^ i i sponsibilitv upon the probate judges j and without the nerve to pass 2j strict prohibition law.

We understand that he issued something more than a hundred permits zrid some .Qf iEe thirsty sot their j thirsts satisfied. j We told you long ago that when Senator Tillman placed himself in the hands of his friends as to whether or not he would be a candidate to 'j succeed himself that he would be a | candidate.

The very reasons he assign* for his j candidacy for reelection aro the ones 1 he used to retire Senator Butler when that race came on so.r;e twenty live years ago. I We notice that Congressman Lever j is in doubt whether or not he will I enter the senatorial race the coming j summer. Without The Herald and | News being for or against any can- i didate for the senate we hope that j Mr. Lever will not go in this race ; i at this time. He is one of the most * valuable representatives that we have ! ; in Washington at this time and has I sained a Dlace in the house that It ! wctuld take him several years to ac- ! quire if he should be elected to the j f senate and his services are needed j just where he is at this time. We do not claim to be any political!

It took ,up a lot of goor* space to do so and really we could not see anything in either report i f which sustained the governor or Mr j Richardson. There were a lot of words and that was about all. It; looked to us like an effort to justify the governor and at the same time exonerate Mr. Richardson from the; charges preferred by the governor.! At any rate we hope both parties ar1 ; satisfied. The whole thing was po. j litiea! from the beginning or, both : sic-es. j ' It seems to as that the pertinent question now is, who is game warden? 1. Or is there any game warden? The i governor has the right to appoint 1 upon the recommendation of the Au- ' dobon society and the appointment f ' must be confirmed by the senate. The j, appointment was made upon what j purported to be a* recommendation | by the society, but the senate did not | confirm. Does the appointee hold j over. According to decisions of the !' supreme court in similar cases he j 1 does not. I i J Ca>n the governor appoint without j the recommendation of the society? j \ Under the law he can not. j s eav Under the law he can not. j1 Then is there any game warden? 1 We would say there is no legal one. Pity it could not be taken out of poi- j ? itics. I)r. Adams as president of the 11 -IE COUNTRY LIKE A PF SENSATIONAL PATRIOTIC SPf Without Battle Scenes :AFT 21 irected by Wm.

What do you suppose he knows about it??Anderson Mail. Why he said he was just hack fron headquarter? at Washington and h-? was only repeating what they told him there. And we thought the proper and patriotic thing is only to know what they say in Washington. Senator Tillman says that he is going to be a candidate for reslection and that he is not iroing on the stump, but expects to remain in Washington, and the people may elect him or not as they deem proper, or words to that effect. Well, that is about what they will do. Funny how times and viewpoints change. Twenty-four year* ago when he was putting Hampton and Butler out of the senate he did XIVM U1C pV/^iCIUll lilili- SCI \ ICC ClIIU experience counted for anything, or were worth anything. Rather, h? argued they were against countin?, and he put Gen. Hampton out and put Gen. Butler out, both of whom had rendered long and valuable and faithful service to their people, both in war and peace. Now he thinks that his Ions- service is so valuable that the people will demand that he continue to serve them regardless of anything else. It makes a difference whose ox is gored and the. viewpoint from which one sees things. The Abbeville Press and Banner in discussing the change in the law as to the city so as to put the water works in tlie hands of a commission of three, instead of under the control of the city council, says, that the mayor of the city holds, so far as it knows, only three other offices. Wei', that is the rule now. Hold as many offices as the people will permit you to hold, it matters not what the constitution says on the subject. A Remarkable Old Xeqrro. Mr. Luther 3.1.
