There will be presented to the voters of the State at the next general election the (question of allowing the State to issue i81, 000.000 in bonds for the building of a new hospital fur the insane. We regard this as one of the most important questions that has been submitted to the voters in many years. and it is a question which should not be considered from a political view point, but solely from a business stand point. When the measure to sub mit this question to the people was pending, the writer contend ed that it would be a waste of time to present the question, be cause the people are not in the humor to assume any more obli gations: they are groaning now under what they regard heavy taxation, and in our opinion there can be no way devised for the is suing of bonds which will not raise the tax levy. We said then, that it was our opinion, the bond 1 issue will be rejected by a large majority, and we shall continue to believe this until the contrary is shown. All know that the eongested condition at the hospital needs relief, but a lot of us do not agree that the necessity is so great, but that it can be overcome gradual ly. The State owns 369 acres of land in and near the city of Co lutabia, this property is enhanc ing in value daily, the State has boiht 2000 acres outside of the city limits where the land is not so valuable, those who do not think it necessary to build all at once, take the posiion that in stead of selling the present city property at this time, t h e State retain the same, a n d every few years p u t up a building on the property outside, in this way the conges tion can be relieved as conditions demand- and the State will get the advantage of the enhancement in the valuation of the city proper-: ty; then when the property out side of the city has been built with a sufficient number of build ing for the accommodation of the entire asylum 'population, the city property can be sold at a price much greater than now. If however, the city property is 1 sold now the State will be a loser thereby, and the tax levy will have to be raised to meet the in terest on the bonds, whereas, if there is a gradual building of the new property there will be no need for haste for the sale of the splendid residential site now own ed by the State, and the levy will not be raised. As heretofore said this is not a political question, but one which1 must appeal to the sober jud-' ment of the taxpayers- We ex pect those who favor the selling of the city property to go before1 the people and paint fearful pic tures of the asylum conditions, but for the past several years this asylum property has been longed for by those who know a good investment when they see it, and these are anxious to get their clutches upon this magniti cent residential property, in fact, we have heard there has been a survey made, streets laid out on! plats, and every other prelimi nary step taken to take advan- I tage of the opportunity for a syn--t dicate to buy. There is no ob- 1 jection to these speculators buy ing the property at the proper1 time, but in the opinion of many this is not the time, nor is it nec essary for the taxpayers of the State to isyne bonds when they can accomplish all that is needed by going slow, and by going slow it is thought will prove of profit. LAWLESSNESS.1 1e reader of newspapers1 camaot help being impressed 1 w-ith the growing tendency to wati lawlessnes throughout the Union. There must be a cause for this condition, what it is?! No two opinions agree, some contend it is the laxity in enforc ing the laws of the land, while others claim it is because of the tendency to magnify small offenses: whatever the cause, the fact remains that there is hardly a day but what there is blood letting. Officers of the couts have been brutally shot dowvn in the discharge of their duties, men charged with crime havye been taken out of the custody- of' the law and lynched, propertx ha-s been destroyed, and vatious other crimes are being perpetrat-' ed daily. How can this be checked? In our opinion it will continue as long as there is such a division of thought in the en forement of law: in order for the law to be respected the peo ple must feel that the~y are not being discriminated against, and that every man has an ecual*~ showing in the courts.^ At present there is a wave e lawlessness throughout the land, it is not confined to any particular State or locality. The pres editorializes against it ;U: p:it preitelies against t. and all good (tizens deplore t. but there are none to point )ut a remedy for relief. Has -he intricacies of the law any ,hing to do with the condition? rhere is a spirit of resentment 3eard on all hands against the :echnicallities the lawyers take idvantage of to defeat justice. Jut who is to sziv that a lawyer should not take the advantage :f anvthini which will benefit his "clients? The lawmaking bodies place law upon the tatute books, and the lawyers "Id the courts construe it, be ::ause a lawyer tinds, when em ploved to (feid a man for crime Lhat the omission of a word, or the ~nnction of an Act will save hIs lient. is not that a part of his duty to take advantage of? yhen how can the laws be made so these advantages cannot be taken Ind thereby prevent the defeat of ustice? Some say the lawmakers should be men learned in the .aw, but this will not do, as :hereo is as great a difference of )pinin ammiong the lawyers as here is among laymen. The )ml - way we can see out of the problemu, is for every man to ac ept the law as it is written, and 1s good zitizens frown down the :iolations of the law. Then too, there must be a de nand for equality before the aw: to impose a severe sentence ipon some friendless individual or a snall crime, and a light unishnent upon those who .iave influential connections thaen convicted of grave crime, s one of the reasons the masses ose the respect for the law they houtld have. Whenever the ourts begin to treat all alike, hen in our opinion, the people xill gro w towards having a loser relation to the courts, and eel that it is a necessary part )f this government which all Iust depend upon for safety. WHO TOLD THE GOVERNOR. The investigation of the vhiding-up commission finished ts second week last Friday, and rom the-published proceedings se are glad to see the committee ret down to something like their )usiness. Witnesses were exam ned uoon the issues made in he governor's message, and :here was not so much of indi -idual opinion. Several of the >ld dispensary board gave testi nony but they did not clarify he situation to any greatextent, d I of them expressed themselves Ls having confidence in the nembers of the commission, and lone of them seemed to know Ohat the governor based his luestions on. We do not know vhere Governor B3lease receive nformation which prompted him . propound the questions which timated there was wrong doing mf the nart of some of the comn nission, and the attorney gen nal. but we venture to say that f he will tell, it will be seen that ;ome of the old dispensary board iad been taking, and when con 'ronted to make good they lost heir memories. We never did elieve there was any corruption n the commission, and would iave opposed the investigation ad circumstances been different. Ye are personally acquainted vith a majority of the members >f the commission, and we have dways regarded them'above sus >cion, they may have made some rrors: we do not believe here is anything tainted in their ~onduct. But we do believe the ~overnor has been misled by ~omel of those who profess rendsbip for him, which caused im to put insinuating questions ni the message to the general ~ssembly. Under the circum tances, if our suspicion is cor eet, we do not think the gov rnor wouldi be charged with )ad faith if he exposed the ource of his information. THE POSTAL SYSTEM. There is much opposition to he proposed Parcel Post Sys em that is being considered by he United States government. Lhe American League Associa ion is sending out matter for the ounty press to publish in oppo tion to this system. The asso ~iation claims that with the inau ~uration of the system the retail nerchant will be greatly injured ,hereby. The parcel post is be ng urged by the great mail or ir concerns, and if they succeed he merchant in our towns and illages will in the course of time >e a thing of the past, because, he mail order houses will be able to sell for less; they do not iae to pay local taxes, licenses, >r be subjected to those matters .nd things which go to keeping tp the schools. roads, courts and he other demands upon the lo al merchant; they have no part nd parcel in the progress of the ommunity, and so far as they rc concerued it would make no Lifference if the local communi is were to go to waste. The opposition to the system laim that the postal deficit wvill > increased, the country's comn nercial system wvill be revolu ionized, the delivery of legiti nate mail will be delayed, the >rogress of rural communities vi be depleted, and their prog ess retarded. Thle system will ~entraize the trade of the coun ry into a few persons. and m-l tad of it being a help to the' armer it will be to his disadv-an age, and hostile to h is interests, ecause the local merchant is hi. edium of exchange where he oes wth dipose of his products, >u ihthe retail trade center U at Chicago or New York, lie !l have no one to take his but r and eggs. mis truck which lie DO THE PEOPLE WANr RURAL POLICE? The has been so much talk about the rural police system within the past week, we wish the county executive committee when it arranges for the pri mary would provide a box whereby the voters can express themselves for or against hav ing the system in Clarendon. This is a matter all of the tax payers are interested in, and it would be a good idea to ascer tan whether or not the Repre sentatives should at the next session of the legislature pro vide this system. The writer opposed the passage of a bill at the last session because he did not think it necessary, and be cause he did not feel warranted in imposing this on the taxpay ers, and because further, the I powers given in the bill up for consideration were, in his judg ment too great to be placed in the hands of police. Since the legislature adjourned he has heard criticisms of his course, and too, he has been commended by a good many for taking this po sition: it is the desire of a Repre sentative to conforinto the wishes of the people, and as they have to pay the taxes if they want the ru ral police system, it should be made known so the Representa tives can act with some authority. THE TIMES would like, for pub lication, to have the views of citizens from every section of the county. Perhaps this would bring from the executive com mittee the privilege of a yote on the subject. IT DID PLAY POLITICS. Notwithstanding the frequent claims that the recent legislature did not indulge in politics, a read ing of the interviews from the different members proves con clusively that "checkmating the governor" played a most impor tant part in-the long drawn out proceedings. The State regards a member who was disposed to use his own judgment, and not to follow blindly the lead of others " a devoted adherent of the gov ernor," but that newspaper is en tirely mistaken, there are some of tbe members of the general as sembly who never have support ed the present governor when a candidate for office, but in their capacity as a legislator support ed him whenever they agreed with his conclusions in the mat. ter of vetoes, and these same members were consistent in, that on the committees and upon the floor they made known their op position to a number of the meas ures which the governor vetoed. These same members stood by what they considered proper, took orders from no one, but was it so with all of the others? .Did not some of the others vote against their judgment in order to gratify a spite against the gov ernor? Was not notice gqiven on the floor of the senate when it came to a vote to pass an item over the vetoed, that this time the member would vote to pass it over the veto, but in the future he would not do so? Did not a senator say that if the senate ap proved of a certain veto "it wouldi ook like the senate was endors ing the governor"? Then if this was the feeling which prompted the majority, is there any won der that the impression is abroad the legislature played politics? An attempt was made upon the life of the King of Italy last Thursday while he was on his way to attend a memorial service to his late father, King Humbert. The King escaped without hurt, but one of the officers at the head of his escort was killed. They have a bad way of doing things in Virginia in the county of Carroll. When a violator of the law is convicted by a jury, and the Judge pronounces sen tence the relatives of the convict ed man shoot down the Judge, the prosecuting attorney, sheriff, clerk and jurors. with the result that the three former were in stantly killed. The outlaws made their escape into the mountains. The statement that H o n . Charles A. Smith of Timmons ville will stand for re-election for the office of Lieutenant-Governor is gi-atifying to the members of the senate who have served under him for the past two years, and it is hoped he will have no( opposition. He is always fair, I and courteous, and, when a pre siding officer is that, it is all that can be asked. Let this be a safe and a sane political year should be the motto of every man in the State. The politicians would have it a cam paign of excitement so that they can appeal to all manner of prej udice, but the people should pre vent these kind of tactics by de- I manding of each man aspiring to public position to show them his merits regardless of the demerits of his opponent. The man who appeals to prejudice is not al ways as safe as the one he de nounces, most of this kind of ar gument can be characterized as stuff with which to fool the masses. The Bishopville VindicatorI says that efforts have been made to mnduce either Hon. R. I. Man-v ning or T. G. McLeod to enter s the r-ace for governor. Both of these gentlemen have many ad mirers in the State who would c be glad to vote for them, but we c doubt if they can be persuaded to enter now that the press of the State has practically given C to Judge Jones the right-of-way A as the logical man to defeat e B~iease. We are satisfied that ehr rchard T. Manningora r. G. McLeod would make it in teresting for the candidates so far announced, especially if there is to be a wool-pulling campiagn between Blesase and Jones. Collier's week y is after the scalp of Secretay of Agriculture James Wilson and it proposes to go after him until it succeeds in getting his goat. The Secretary ilthough a. Republican, has al ways been a good friend to the South notwithstanding the fact that some of his sabordinates et a leak spring in the depart ment last summer with regard to the cotton crop estimate. His administration has done much towards awakening'the farmers of the South to the need of culti vating grain, and it was his agents who came to South Caro lina and taught the people the way to farm profitably. W should hate to see the good old Scotchman lose his job. Congress has passed the sugal tariff bill, and it is now up to thE senate. Chairman Underwood, who is a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for the presi dency, is being charged by those opposed to the bill with running the "steam roller" over them. Louisianna is greatly interested in the growing of sugar, thosE pebple depend upon the suga culture like our people depenc upon the culture of cotton, nov that a Democratic congress seeks to take the tariff from this prod uct the Louisiannians will no1 feel kindly towards the Alabam ian when they send delegates tc the Baltimore convention, and should Mr. Underwood be so for tunate to capture the nomination Louisianna will be counted as a doubtful State for the Democracy. It will be gratifying to the farmers throughout the State tc learn that Mr. E. J. Watson will continue as Commissioner of Ag riculture until his successor shall have been elected and has auali fied. When the bill to make tis office elective by the people was pending, the writer insisted tha1 an objectionable provision be eli minated from it because he was assured that there was no foun dation in the frequent rumors that it was the governor's pur pose to remove Mr. Watson from office. But had the senate insist ed upon keeping in this provision the governor would have been forced to remove Watson and ap point his succecsor. The gover nor's announcement that Mr. Watson will retain the position therefore is gratifying to the writer, although he is not at all surprised at thle announcement.

One morning Miss Lucy Halcomb, the most fastidious housekeeper In 4 Bushby, who was reported to have washed an unfortunate grandnephew Into a decline, opened her front door, having heard strange noises on the 4 piazza. There stood a tramp, his shoes caked with mud, which, he was scrap Ing off with a knife and kicking off by alternate applications of his heels on 4 her doormat. "What are you doing?" demanded Miss Lucy indignantly. "Doing!" echoed the tramp. "I was 4 starting round to the kitchen to ask the young lady I saw hanging out your clothes If she'd hand me a bite of breakfast. Then I thought I didn't make a very good appearance, and I 4 was about 'to go on to the next house when I saw this mat with the invita tion, 'Please use this mat,' right on It, 4 so I stepped up here. In about five 4 minutes more I'll look well enough so I can go round to the kitchen." "Well!" said Miss Lucy. "Well" and then she closed the door.-Youth'Bs 4 Companion. 4 Eagle Stones and Luck, Among the superstitious the eagle 4 stone is held in high esteem as a lucky ebarm. Thus one of the richest men In the world woul probably turn aside the question, if It were put to him, as to how much of his great success, how many of his millions, were due to his 4 eagle stone. Yet for a quarter of a century, perhaps even more, that eagle stone has reposed in a pocket of his trousers each business day. When pondering over propositions that have needed Immediate decision this mag nate has been seen to take out this stone and pass it from one hand to the other. It is a genuine "charm" that will keep away disaster, it is said, and gets Its name from the fact that it was found in an eagle's nest. Those who know something of the lore of superstitions say that if a ribbon or some scrap of fabric Is passed through the hole which a perfect eagle stone Is always supposed to contain the po tency of the "charm" is much en hanced.-New York Sun. The Welsh Language. The quite erroneous Idea that Welsh Is a language of consonants probably arises from the number of w's It con talus, according to a Welshman in the London News. "W" in Welsh is gen erally-and always between two con ,onants-a pure vowel, sounded like "oo" in English. Thus "cwm" is pro nounced "koom," rhyming with "boom." What is really one of the most remarkable features about the Welsh language Is the number of vow els which can come together. In Eng lsh three vowels in success are not often met with. In Welsh It is not uncommon to fnd four or 9ve-e. g., in 4 "lywIawdwr" (governor). Here each of the five vowels "ywlaw" Is pro-4 nounced separately In rapid succession. Here are four lines, consisting en-, tirely of vowels, made by Goronwy Owen in the eighteenth century: 0'l wiw wy a weuae, Ieuau o ia, al e ly?

The United States geological survey has traced the early geological history of the region that Includes the present Great Salt lake. In the pleistocene epoch western Utah contained a vast lake called by geologists Lake Bonne vile. It was 346 miles long, 145 miles wide and over 1,000 feet deep. It cov ered an area of nearly 20,000 square miles-a tract twIce as large as the land surface of the state of Maryland. The surface of the lake was about 5,200 feet above the presen't sea level, or about 1,000 feet above the level of Great Salt lake. If the lake existed at present. Deseret would be covered by 600 feet of water, N~ephi, Oak City, Holden, Fill more and Kanosh would be at or near the shore, and Joy and Utah Mine - would be sitnated on Islands. Her Milking Stool.
