Unless you would increase the burden of taxation for no better reason than to give some lawyer a life-time job on the supreme bench, vote against the proposed constitutional amendment increasing the number of supreme court justices from four to five. There are already too many judges doing almost nothing to earn their salary, but another excellent reason for voting against the amendment is the candidacy ofT. B. Fraser for the prospective judgeship. Little Work for Legislature. For a score of years, almost, at each recurring session of the Legislature much valuable time has been devoted to considering the liquor question, often at the expense of matters which were of more importance. For years it has been the practice of a coterie of members of the house and senate to insist that the vpxpd niipsfinn hp o-ivpn thp right of way over other proposed I legislation. Usually these members have had their way. with the result that little good has come to the Commonwealth. But whatever excuse has been pleaded in the past for the liquor question monopolizing so large a part of each legislative session, no such excuse can be advanced for the incoming Legislature. In the election last August the lines were so sharply drawn between local option and prohibition and the prohibitionists were so decisively defeated that no one can mistake the will of the people to let present conditions alone. There should be no time wasted tampering with the law which allows the individual counties to decide the liquor question for themselves. Rather should the Legislature pass a few beneficial laws, make economical provision for the conduct of the government during the next fiscal year, and then adjourn, omitting the usual profitless, but expensive, junketing trips to the State-aided institutions of higher learning. But of the important matters which should find a place in the statute books before the Legislature adjourns next winter is the proposed marriage license law. There is no such law in South Carolina now, and the lack of it argues us a people so provincial in our ideas that we could scarce take offense at an outsider should he describe our conception of life as bounded on the one hand by the back gate and on the other hand by the sidewalk in front of our premises. We pride ourselves upon being the only State in the Union which allows marriage without let or hindrance. We could more becomingly pride ourselves upon our prejudice and ignorance, for both are here in plenty. Mecklenburg Democrat* Should Vote. Unless there is widespread dissatisfaction in the Ninth North Carolina district with the services of Congressman Webb or unsuspected apathy among the Democrats in Mecklenburg county, Mr. Webb is certain to be reelected next Tuesday. Mecklenburg county is the stronghold of the Democrats in the Ninth district and it is the duty of every Democrat in the county to go to the polls on the 8th inst. and vote for Mr. Webb. Led by Mr. S. S. McNinch, the Republicans are making a determined effort to f '* : v } "" v* ' ;*'A T'Wrf capture the seat in Congress j which Mr. Webb is so worthily J filling: and they are claiming: that! Mr. McNinch will be able to at- 1 tract many Democratic votes in the city of Charlotte. From appearances, the claim is about as substantial as a sand rope, but it will not do for the Democrats to assume that the election of Mr. Webb is certain and that it would be a waste of time to g:o to the polls to vote for him. On the con-! trary, it is important, as never before, that the Democracy of i il \T!_ 1.L J" l '.l iL _ : trie i>iinin uistnct mane tne strongest possible showing on election day. We have seen the j vice president of the United States in Charlotte during the last week in the interert of Mr. McNinch. Various other Republicans of more or less reputation or notoriety have been active in trying to work up Democratic disaffection. It may be that their plans have succeeded to a greater extent than is anticipated by the Democratic leaders. It is unthinkable that our friends "across the line" purpose to turn upon the only party from which there | is hope of relief for the people from the iniquities of Republicanism. but it is poor policy to take anything' for granted in politics. Every Democrat in Mecklenburg i county should go to the polls next Tuesday and vote for Mr. Webb. The Pitiable Case of Mr. Sibley. The case of Jos. C. Sibley is so pathetic that it is certain to elicit the commiseration of the whole country. Mr. Sibley is a sick man. When he tries to walk he has attacks of dizziness caused from heart weakness. Many men have been similarly affected, but Mr. Sibley's trouble seems to have come about in a way that no other man has ever experienced. Mr. Sibley is rich. He is a Standard Oil magnate. By the same token he is a Repub1! Tl I - . f iican. ror several terms ne | represented a Pennsylvania district in Congress, first as a Dem- ' ocrat and afterwards as a Republican. He voluntarily retired from Congress a few years ago, but last spring a longing which he could not resist came over him to again occupy a seat in the halls of Congress, so he hied himself from his winter home in Florida to his old haunts in Pennsylvania. Shortly after he reached the 28th district there was somej thing doing in the Republican i campaign for the congressional nomination. Mr. Sibley had got ; busy, or, rather, his Standard ! Oil dollars had got busy for him. | When the votes were counted Mr. J I Sibley led his opponent by a safe i margin- at $4 per vote. There | were some thin-skinned individuals in Mr. Sibley's district who | did not think it looked exactly < right for him to pay $42,500 for the nomination, especially as there was the prospect of the Democratic nominee, who would have to make the campaign on a dollar a quarter, beating him in the general election. So Mr. Sibley was arrested on a charge of conspiracy to debauch the voters of his district. He was ! placed under $5,000 bail for trial in December. Now he's sick. Everybody is sorry for a sick man. All hope that Mr. Sibley will recover and be ready for trial in December. More or Less Pointed. ! Our friends are like our clothes - unless they wear well we get little satisfaction out of them. Too often instead of being sorry for our misdeeds we are merely ashamed that we have been found out. Little chores are good for the boys and girls, and they like to do them if you let them know how much they are helping you. They all like to help. SPECIAL NOTICES. 25c each insertion.
