iWe understand that the acting prolate
judge, when he <*ot*that opinion
from the attorney general's office, in j
response to a request from a New- !
"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

sponsibilitv upon the probate judges j
and without the nerve to pass 2j
strict prohibition law. They wanted
(
to see how it would work.
We published in Tuesday's paper a
statement of the opinion of the attorney
general's office as rendered

"but we are printing today the letter j
in full.
The acting probate judge did o. i
rather rushing business on Tuesdaj'.
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. Whenever a man leaves ;
it to his friends whether or not he !
will be a candidate for office he is |
sure to be one. It does not tafcej

political spring. * 'j
And the papers are playing his an- j
nouncement up on the front pag-e as
we thought they would do.
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!

is a certain amount of doubt c
as to whether or not he could win 1
the senatorial race and there is ai-! *
most a certainty that he could sue- J''

A man may receive a great pile cf j
letters asking him tr run, but he j
should remember that there are 150,- '

he receives may represent a majority
of them and then again it may not. I

O HO IS GAME WARDEN J
i
Tn the last issue of the paper we i
printed the findings of "both the ma- ;
\
jority and the minority of the com-j
mittee in the investigation of the i
charges of the governor against the j
administration of Chief Game Warden j
Richardson. 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 ?

I
Audubon society has held a meeting;
I
>f the society and recommended the i
lame of Dr. Weston. The governor .
las not said what he intends rloing. i
ind we suppose Mr. Glbbes is go'ng '
:m as same wan]fen and the State is j
i
paying him his salary and expense. 1
The governor of Arkansas?we ha "a
forgotten his name?says the war will
last three years longer. 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. Fellers was t il line:
The.Herald and News the other day
ol a remarkable old negro who now
lives down on the old Fair place with
?.!r. T"-lor. He is 82 years old and
was ? time in t^e possession of
i\Ir. y.atthew Hall and belonged to
him the days of slavery. He goes
"0?: V,y the name of Alex Johnson.
Yir. FcT^s says he talkel with him
" *':w days ago and in answer to
questions Alex said he had never
^en sick in his life though he dfd
remember that he had measles. He
never had toothache, he never had
lipqrlnr-TiA ami he nover chewed to
bacco. He still hoes cotton and far.

He now lives in a house hv himself
