The public should patronize well the entertainment which is to be given by the American Legion tomorrow night. The money is to be used to provide a place of recreation and amusement for the young men of the town, in itself a worthy object and ^ one which should be fostered and encouraged. One of the great prob- ^ lems of the smaller towns, which are without the Y. M. C. A., moving pic- ^ tures and other places of recreation ^ and amusement, is the problem of providing &n J outlet for the natural . ? r i\ * . 1 < high spirits of youth. This problem the local post of the American Le- ^ gion is attempting to solve in a way t that will prove beneficial to the en tire community, and their ; worthy _ effort should be seconded by all who j are interested in the welfare of our young men. ^ The war has now actually been over t for more than a year and as yet we have done absolutely nothing to show our appreciation of the boys who responded to their country's call when the dangers of war threatened. The entertainment tomorrow n^ght will afford not only an opportunity to spend ;a}pleasan)t evening, but ,tp give practical demonstration of the high .esteem ijf >\^hicji-^e hold , the service rendered by the gallant young men of Lexington who were in the service of the United States during the late war. Everybody ought to attend and take a friend. BETTER .MY FOR TEACHERS. The agitation vnow going for better pay for teachers will no doubt result in some increase for a class of people who are notoriously underpaid. Along with better pay it might be well also to stress, better service, which leads us to the,! egression of opinion that one way to increased pay is increased - service. The great body of our teachers are 4 patriotic men and women, who are performing valuable service without adequate compensation, but there are some in the profession who are totally unfit for the i duties which they seek to discharge. The teachers themselves should seek to eliminate from their ranks such as these, and they will find that witli the general increase of efficiency will come added appreciation and compensation. For the present, however, the pay of even the most efficien. teacher is far below the level of sal aries earned in other professions and businesses and the inefficient receive compensation below that of the aver- 1 age farm hand. ' Teachers, like other folk, must live, and if something is not done to better their pay many of 1 them will be forced to seek other employment. And it will not be the t worst ones either who look to some 5 other calling to provide them with a sustenance. _______ i Brother Bryan says he would be t willing to have the treaty made an is- a sue?if he thought we could w;n with ] it.

Columbia, January 20.?The first . is veek of the legislative session was it >roductive of very little. In fact, it cl vas so short that little could be exacted. However, a general ex:hange of views has taken place vhich may lead to results l.xter on. sc One thing that is pretty sure is the of iefeat of the Anthony amendment to st he federal constitution granting e> :qual suffrage to women. "They shall thi lot pass," seems to be the slogan, fr In the senate;a resolution has been j ntroduced to ratify the amendment, _ >ut those who have counted noses on ;his question say that it has not the 1 lightest chance of passage. In the ^ louse a resolution has been inroduced calling for the oj? < tic-r. of he amenlrr.eitt. Governor Cooper tas de? 'ar* ! "resell as oppo-- J to atification. Xo vote on the question las yet been had, but those who have sounded out ^enffment i predict that ;i :he amendment will be rejected by .? < (Yj tn overwhelming vote; : 4 ' The annual fight to abolish the tax commission will no ddubf soon be on. Senator Shelor of Oconee has already ntroduced such a bill. Last year the ^ ax commission had a narrow call. Che house , passed a bill to kill it and he senate, after a long-drawn out right, refused to ; agree, ; but not by ^ in overwhelming vote. If one works >y the law of progression, by which Pansier of Tirzah was elected rail oad commissioner, it would be easy 0 figure out that the tqx commission to vill sooner or later meet its Waterloo, tc ;o to speak. Each year as a new ?* ihase of the tax problem is taken up a lew enemies are made, so that after s 1 while there will be enough, prob- ^ Lbly, to unhorse the commission. ?irst the commission tackled banks a md other like corporations and (1 wrought on a fight from some of this e( dement. Then real estate was tacked and the howl that went up from s< he big landowners whose assessments u vere materially increased brought on he fight of last year, which came 0 iretty near proving the end of the ax commission. This past year merchants and some classes of manufac- n( uring enterprises were tackled and J low there is a howl going up from j ionic of these. But in the meantime i h ;omo of the early enemies of the comnissioai. seeing now that other class- ,i! *s of property are being handled in ' lie same way as their own, may reent and lend their support to the 1 :ommjssion. Anyhow, it is not likely u hat the fight this year wil absorb as cc nueh interest as last, for tne reason hat woman suffrage and good roads ? .vill have a considerable place in the ^ picture. And now about good roads. The if bouse the other day killed the only H ?ood roads bill on the calendar, thus wiping the slate clean. Which does not necessarily mean that nothing will be done in this direction. The bill which was killed was one passed by the senate last year and sidestepped by the house in the rush of the closing hours. It had been so variously amended that probably nobody knew just what its provisions rtrAnA T 4* a/K "K ATir_ rvci Ct it nuuiu 11a* ^ oci xivn - bf sver, as a framework for a bill which K| would have met the ideas of both || houses, in this day expediting1 the pa^?- J re of some measure. The advocates : good roads (a distinction claimed yT every member of the legislature) re to hold a get together meeting >me time soon, in the hope of fecting a compromise suitable to all mcerned. or at least to a majority l the members of both houses. The boll weevil will come in for a lare of discussion at the present >ssion. The legislature will be ask:1 to provide means to aid the fight : - -. 4 + Tf i c I lir 5< CUl V.ULIU11 AC lanned to have special farm demonration agents, expert in matters ertaining to the best means of fightlg the weevil, working under the irisdiction of Clemson college and le national department of agricullre, take up this work in the counes already infested by the weevil, of hich there are 30 in this State, Lexlgton being among the number.
