CAPITOL CORRESIONDENCL d
Columbia, S. C. Jan. 16th, 1914. N
The legislature for 1914 start- a
ed its labors Tuesday at noon, t<
Dr. Jos. H. Burgess of Summer- il
ton was sworn in as the mem- g
ber-elect to fill the unexpired s1
term of Hon. Harvey W. Mitch- s<
um who resigned, to accept the h
appointment of Dispensary Aud- U
itor, and from which position p
Mr. Mitchum resigned on the b
15th, (yesterday,) to take, as I ti
am told by him,a position in the 'I
dispensary service in Charles- E
ton. t
The first week of legislative l
bodies is usually taken up with &
getting- matters in shape for tl
real work, but not so this tiae b
in this State. The moment the c
gavels fell in both Houses busi- tj
ness was taken up, and disposed ti
of as rapidly as a proper consid- v
eration would permit. The elec. b
tion of the Judges was accom- b
plished much quicker than was
expected, and this was a com- t]
mendable piece of work. There b
-remains the election of a State h
Librarian, trustees for some of b
the colleges, insurance commis
sioner and penitentiary direc- t]
tom, when these are out of the v
way everything will be in com- I
plete readiness to get down to s!
-the consideration of laws.There h
were a number of bills on the b
cilendar left over from last ti
year, an effort was made to have h
-them all re-committed to their A
respective committees. but those N
interested would not have it so, b
instead of saving time, in my a
opinion, they will waste time by 5
not agreeing to the reference. v
Because, when a measure has %
bean hanging over twelve 7
months the members have lost o
the reasons for and against it, b
and are not prepared to act in t]
teHigently, therefore, if the ar- p
gument could be thrashed out lh
before the committee, it'has the w
effect of expediting the work. p
Several of the hold-over bills
were sent to the grave yard, h3
some of these may have been tl
saved had their authors consent- xi
ed to a re-commital, but as s)
everything happens for the best, a
it may be better so. Among the h3
bills that received it, in the place o:
where the Indian maid wore the d
beads, was Senator Patterson's $1
bill to require the teachers of o:
the public-schools to have the n,
Binet-Simons method of exami- p
nation; do not ask me what is
the Binet Simons method, no r:
one seemed to know, not even si
the author who is a doctor, ail s
that he could make clear was the ti
system is in the interest of it
health, and it is in use in many ii
of the city schools, but Senator- t4
Doctor Patterson was unable to ti
~convince the senate, and his bill la
received the axe. ti
About the most important bills ii
acted upon this week was that si
of Senator Laney's of Chester- ti
field relating to the changing of fi
school books. The preserit law h
permits the changinig of the a
school books every five years, ~
this has been-the cause of serious la
complaint all over the State, and g,
a heavy drain upon taxpayers, a
especially the poorer taxpayers, i
but according to the Laney bill
the change in school text books si
can only be made once in .ten a
years, and then only with the c<
consent of the general assembly. si
If this bill becomes a law, the a
changes in the books will be very tg
infrequent. and many a dollar
will be saved to the people. hi
Notwithstanding the good pnr- a
pose ofthe bill, it had ahard e
fight to get it to a third reading. tr
The senators from Darlington, M
Union, and Orangeburg spoke in Se
favoring of killing the proposi- st
tion, but Senator Laney aided er
by Senators Ackerman, and al
Johnson and others, came to his .y
aid and saved the bill. Of course is
Ahis measure must run the gaunt- b'
let of the other branch, if it gets qi
through, and it is not vetoed, I
thousands of dollars will be say- ai
ed to aclass of people who have s,
been complaining about the fre- ij
quent changes in the school o
books-.a
There has been sent to me di
from a citizen of Su mmerton bills i
to be introduced, ordinarily. 1 e
would introduce these "By Re- it
quest," but after having had a e
conference with members of the p
delegation, and all agreeing
they could not give these meas- be
ures their support, I declined to w~
introduce them, even "By Re-m
ills relate to landlord and ten
nt, another to making it a mis
emeanor to permit chickens or c
ther poultry to run at large. a
'he former may have merit, but c
cannot support it, the latter is t
Atber trivial to burden a legis- t
ture with, notwithstanding the I
ict that many trivial matters
ave found their way upon the i
batate books of this State.
Another citizen of Summerton z
esires the Act permitting the 1
fanning graded school to charge s
contingent fee, amended so as I
) include Summerton under sim- i
ar provisions, but as Mr. Bur- i
ess is from that section and E
bould Inow the needs of that a
-hool district, I will wait until r
e has had an opportunity .:)
tke the matter up with his peo- t
le, should they want it, it will a
e apleasure to give him all of 1
ie aid I can to get it through. I
'he last talk I had with Mr. t
urgess on this subject created 6
ie impression on my mind I
iere would be opposition to
mending the present Act, but
iere is a probability of a bill I
eing introduced . which will
bange the method of selecting
.mstees for the Summerton dis- I
iict, so they can be elected by a E
ote of the patrons, instead of (
y appointment from the county
oard. I will wait to hear.
Mr. Burgess is fast learning I
:e ropes of legislation and I i
ave na doubt he will prove I
imself to be a valuable member (
efore this session cioses. 1
Mr. Kennedy is contemplating
ie introduction of a bill to pro
ide for the issuing of bonds for I
louglas and Sandy Grove tbwn- t
hips for drainage purposes, in
wet, he has had the bill drawn, 1
ut will withhold the introduc- I
on of it until he returns from E
ome as he wishes to consult J
rith the people to be affected. (
fr. Kennedy showed me his t
ill and I suggested that he C
ake a provision in it for the c
bmission of the question to a i
ote of the people in the section i
rhere the drainege is proposed.
'here is no doubt if the lowlands
f Douglas and Sandy Grove can
e drained it will mean much to
ie enhancement of all of the f
roperty, and it will reclaim r
mds that are now practically I
rorthless for agricultural pur- f
oses.t
Mr. White is on his job daily,
e tells me that he has in view I
ie introduction of a bill seek- 1
ig to hae the fertilizer in- I
pections made more efficient e
ud more general. He has not 1
ad his measure put in the shape
r a bill yet, and is waiting to 4
iscuss it with the members of i
ie committee on agriculture in
eder to ascertain whether ora
ot it will meet with their ap
royal. c
The delegation has agreed to 1
rise the salary of the countya
ipervisor, which in gny opinion,
sould be done. That officer's 4
me is largely taken up with I
uportant matters, and by giv
ig them his full personal at-a
mtion he can and has saved to
e taxpayers thousands of dot
trs; if there ever was justifica
on for the raising of a salary,
, is in this case. The present'
dary is $900 per year, out of
us, the officer is compelled to
arnish his own cenveyance, and
e is almost .constantly on tbe
yads. Other counties, not only
ay their supervisor a much
trger salary, but they also ~
irnish, either an automobile or
horse and buggy at the coun
r's expense. The delegation ~
ter meeting with the commis- I
oners and going over the fiscal
lairs to ascertain the financial
yndition, reached the conclu- ~
on that it will be in the inter
it of good service to increase ~
r
ie salary of this office.
Since reaching Columbia I
ave been endeavoring to find a
heme by which more money
in be obtained for school dis- I
ict No. 9, which is tbe district a
anning is located in, without
tcreasing the tax. The plan I
ibmitted to the lawyers in the
grossing department, while ~
l1 agree is all an ideal one, and E
ould accomplish the purpose,
in their opinion, prohibited ~
y the constitution, which a
ires a uniform assessment, but C
have not as yet abandoned it,
2d I have the promise of these
olicitors to look further into it,
they are still of their present
2inion, I shall endeavor to find
other plan. The Manning '
strict needs more money, but
cannot agree to raise the prop
ty assessment higher to obtain ty
, because this district's prop- '
-ty is already higher in pro- s
>rtion to the rest of the county.h
The matter of rural police will -
a given consideration nextd
eek. there are many who de- c
and this system, personally I
nOt faor it, bnt am r in a'
epresentative. position, and my
ersonal views cannot always
obtain, therefore. if I can have
Sbill drawn giving the county
ommissioners permissory power
o recommend this system, and
he same time, limiting the
work of the police to actual
>olice duty without becoming
lebt collectors. I am willing to
;ive the system a trial. There
re some counties now asking
or the repeal of the rural police
ystem, it is because of the vast
yower given to these officers,
vho, in many instances are
ithout the proper discretion to
xercise such tremendous power,
nd the counties seeking to be
id of the police claim that un
er these great powers there is
auch opportunity for oppression
.nd corruption. If Clarendon is
o have the police I shall do my
est to guard against the objec
ions, and make the measure
olely for the purpose of having
ood order in the county, I
hall never consent to a measure
rhich gives to those officers
nore authority than the sheriff
ias, as is the case with most of
he rural police bills on the
)ooks now. I want our laws
mforced, but I do not want to
-stablish engines of oppression
with official license.
Mr. Ellison Capers has been
iere for the past few days look
ng after his interests in the
natter of the race for Insurance
30mmissioner. Mr. 0. 0. Scar
orough has also been here in
dr. Capers' interests, but from
what 1 can gather from the mem
ers who will vote in this elec
ion, it looks to me as if Mr.
dcMaster, the incumbent has

or Mr. Capers lies in the
trength that Mr. Hudgens of

or governor on the Democratic
icket in Oirlahoma next year.
is nearest friends assert that
ie has only light hopes of win
ing his fight, but he hopes to
teep certain parties who "count
d him out" for prosecuting at
orney, from getting the plum.
Jennings made a spectacular
~ampaign for prosecuting attor
ey, using posters for himself in
rison stripes, moving pictures
~nd oratory to win his hearers.
n every speech he told of his
~rimes and then concluded with
he remark: "I have told you of
11l of my crimes. Now let my
~pponents tell of theirs." The
~lection was close and Jennings
ost by a few hundred votes. He
sserts he was "counted out" by
Sgang of 'earful politicians.
Jennings spares no details in
elling the history of his life.
le was a lawyer by profession,
he son of a judge in Arizona
then a political feud made him
u outlaw. He engaged in many
un fights with the authorities,
>articipated in many robberies,
as finally captured after being
rounded and sent to the peni
ontiary in Ohio. There it is
aid, he met Mark Hanna,, then
t the height of his power, won
he master - politician's friend
hip, and finally obtained his
ardon from prison.
Jennings had been a lawyer
efore he became an outlaw and
eturned to Oklahoma to win his
ray back to recognition as a
itizen of the United States.
hrough Jack Abernethy, a
riend of President Roosevelt,
te was restored to citizenship. ]
A little while after he got his1
apers, Jennings began his fight
.gainst the political gang in
)klahoma. In the hope of re- 1
astating himself in the eyes of 1
he people he ran for prosecut 1
cg attorney on the reform tick
t. Thousands heard him talk,
aw the notorious bandit, and
dmired his flow of oratory. He 4
ook the people by storm and]
ame dangerously near winning -1
he office.
In his campaign for governor
ennngs will use moving pic
ures of himself in prison, pos
ars and any other devices that 1
1ay win him votes.

MILIONS FOR CHANGE OF NAME.
For a number of years there
ias been a desire to get
3lemson from its present con
irol and place it in the full con
;rol of the State, because of
nonetary considerations the
cheme was impracticable, but
aow comes a wealthy member
>f tbe Calhoun family who says
If the full control is taken over
by the State and the name
:hanged to Calhoun College, in
bonor the Great Tribune, it
ould be the beneficiary of mil
ions of dollars.
It would not surprise us if,
efore many years the name of
bis institution complies with
he wishes of the Calhoun fami
y; we know there is a strong
;entiment to have the State
Lnnul the contract under the
3lemson will, do away with the
ife trustees, and assume full
,ontrol of the institution, and
iow that there is a prospect of
xenefitting in a financial way the
novement will get stronger.
'he Greenville News carries the
following story from Anderson:
."That Clemson College would
eceive endowments aggregat
.g many millions of dollars if
;he name of the institution is
-hanged to Calhoun College and
he college placed wholly under
;he control of the State of South
Darolina, was the statement
nad'e tonight by Capt. John C.
Dalhoun, graadson of the South
Darolina statesman and oldest
representative oi the Calhoun
amily, who is visiting here. He
aid that such an arrangement
ould be brought about by an
innullment of the contract of
he State accepting the Clemson
equest by which the Fort Hiil
property would revert to Mrs.
Floride Lee Calhoun, wife of
Andrew Pickens Calhoun, of
an Antonio. Texas, the lawful
heir of the late Thos. G. Clem
5on. She would. he said, deed
he property back to the State
)f South Carolina for a sum of
monev sufficient to make the
bransfer legal. He stated that
money would be no object with
Mrs. Calhoun, the heir, that she
tnd all the family connection,
would like to see the change of
ame and control purely for sen
iment sake and the institution's
ood.
Capt. Calhoun, who retired
from active business some time
ago, and who has since lived in
[ondon and New York, says
bhat he has known of seyeral
instances where the college
would have received large en
owments but for the fact that
the college bore the' name of
nother than John C. Calhoun,
lthough it was situated on" the
D~alhoun home place, and be
3ause the college was controlled
by a set of trustees represent
ng an individual and not the
State.
He isclosely associated with the
philanthropists of the east who
re gving large sums for educa
bion, and while he personally is
~iving to the education of poor
bildren in the jmountains of
~he Carolinas, he knows that
1emson College would come mn
or a large share of tbe endow
ents.
Capt. Calhoun states that he
s here merely to visit his old
2me, that he does not care to
tir up any big agitation for the
:hanged name and government
f the college but makes these
tatements knowing that the
:ollege and South Carolina
would be greatly benefitted
shereby."
Dr. F. M. Dwight publishes a
etter from Wedgefield urging
he legislature to enact con
tructive laws, but like other
~riters asking for constructive
egislation he stresses only those
aws which affect his interests the
nedical profession. We agree wit~h
,he doctor that constructive laws
hould be enacted but it is al
nost impossible to do construc
,ive work as long as the demands
pon the treasury continue to
~row larger and larger every
~ear. There must be a limit
~ome where, the State cannot
~stablish new institutions, and
rovide for the many other mat
ers demanded and keep the
ax levy down to an unburden
ome condition. Those making
lemands upon the legislators
ould not lose sight of the fact
hat they cannot eat their cake
mnd keep it too, all improve.

FLY3H01NETANTAR
MAN HIGHER UP GO3 FREE.
A Richland County jury ac
quited C. 1J. Hebert, head of the
Seminole swindle. It took a
long fight in the courts of Ten
nessee, and the State was put to
a considerable expense to bring
Hebert to trial in South Caro
lina, and, notwithstanding the
fact that two South Carolinians
were convicted and put in the
penitentiary for their connec
tion with the Seminole swindle,
the man who is regarded the
chief schemer was turnediloose.
Garlington and Young the con
victed victims are from Laurens
county, they were paroled by
the Governor after serving a
part of the sentence, but both of
them were not considered more
than parties to the scheme
which swindled so many people
in this State; it is generally
considered tfiat Hebert was the
organizer and manipulator. or in
other words, he is looked upon
as "the man bigher up." He is
supposed to have gotten $98,000
out of the scheme, and his sub
ordinates got pen i t e n t i a ry
stripes. If Hebert of Tennessee
is not guilty of the crime he was
charged with, then the State of
South Carolina inflicted a great
wrong upon two of her own citi
zens.
PISTOL CARRYING.
There is much attention being
given at this time to the prac
tice of carrying concealed weap
ons, and there is no doubt the
pistol "toting habit" is largely
responsible for many of the
crimes, but how is it to be stop
ped? Just as lonsr as it is a part
of a young man s dress, just so
long will pistols be carried, and
the only way to stop the habit is
to enforce the law impartially.
To catch up some friendless no
gro and tine him for being found
with a pistol concealed on his
person amounts to but little, if
white men of the respectable
class found with a pistol upon
their persons, were to belsent to
the gang then we would hear of
less shooting, and possibly fewer
other crimes.
There is no need for any man
to convert himself into a walk
ing arsenal. few real brave men
do so,.it is the coward who us
ually goes about with a pistol in
his pocket, and when inflamed
with liquor at the least provo
cation, he whips out his gun
shoots down his fellow man
then~puts up the plea of self de
fence, and is acquitted invariably.
A truly brave man when so un
fortunate as to become involved
in a controversy endeavors to
resort to reason, .but he is at a
disadvantage when his adiver
sary is a liquor-inflamed coward.
We agree ,vith those who think
the law should be amended so
that there shall be prison pun
ishment without the alternative
of a fine. When it is realized
that to carry a pistol means
chaingang regardless of position
in society, few will take the
chances.

Thaw a poor man he would nave
paid the penalty for his crime
long ago, but being rich the
courts were unable to withstand
the pressure of wealth. If at
the- time Thaw killed Stanford
White he was sane. and did not
have a legal right to kill he
should have paid the death pen
alty, if he was insane he should
not have been held responsible,
but placed in an institution for
the healing of diseased minds,
and when his mind returned to
its normal condition, he should
have been freed, but because of
his wealth Thaw has been the
victim of legal extortion.
The womans suffrage movement
is assuming vast proportions,
and it would not surprise us in
the least if congress proposes a
constitution amendment at the
present session. If it does, a
majority of the States in the
Union will ratify the amendment
and the women will vote through
out the United States.

PASSING OF OLD SYNAGOGUE BE
Ancient Jewish House of Worship in T
West End of London Is to Be
Demolished.
The forthcoming demolition of Lon
don's oldest West End synagogue, sit. ac
uated behind His Majesty's theater in th
St. Alban's place, Haymarket, marks at
an interesting stage in London Jewry. ty
There are today in round figures a t
quarter of a million Jews in Great 10
Britain, and of these 150,000 are rewi- t
dent in London. The metropolitan
synagogues included in the United t
Synagogue number sixteen, but of -it
these few have a more curious record P1
than that of the Western Synagogue. an
The synagogue owed its origin to
Wolf Liepman of St. Petersburg and n
Baron de Symons, who lived In Bed- y
ford row, and co-operated about the 'h
year 1768 in the establishment of a
minyan, which met in the private r
house of Mr. Liepman for nearly thirty n
years.
In 1793 a regular congregation was
established-the first synagogue in the 7
West End of London-and a house tl
was hired for the purpose in De- to
mark's court. It was known as the
Denmark Court of Westminster Syna- ty
gogue, and stood on the site of the old a
Exeter hall, now covered by the g
Strand Palacegotel.
It was in 1826 that the congregation
acquired the premises in St. Alban's e
place, and the present synagogue was V1
built. The western synagogue was the o
only congregation under the jurisdo- w
tion of the eccler tical authorities
which in the year 1l41 refused to read
the chief rabbi's proclamation against
the then newly-founded Burton Steet
synagogue.
