Ju~t ?.! 46 years ago today- -October ?th, ^1884 ? the first issue of The Messon t jM; was prints. During all those ^-years The Messenger has made its ^..regular weekly visits, rSjl a single j r. issue having been suspendod, a record Vwe feel proud of. We do iv.it believe ( that any other paper in the State , 'f can say as much. It is a long look ? back running through for',y-3i\ years, ?j And here we aie yet at the helm able to tell you about it. During all Mhe3e years we came in contact with '?v . - many encouraging experiences as well as many that meant real struggles to ( verrome, but guided by a generous Providences the obstacels were over came and we are here lo gieet our J readers an<l well-wishers once more. "Our purpose has always been to print a paper that would be of benefit to the people whotn we served, to fill its columns with clean, useful informa tion and to generally work for the up lift of our people, to advance ev<fry worthy enterpiise in our county and state, and to join hands witk our fel low-citizensS in a constructive way. If we have fallen short of these aims, it was i j*. intentional but because of the numerous tasks that fell to our lot, and we simply did the best we could in measuring up to our obliga tions. There are today some subscribers to our paper who received the first is sue and have contipued with us through all these years, and many others who came in afterwards. We appreciate this more than we can find words to express. Those who have favored us with their nd /ertising pa tronage, too, have our sincere thanks. With /i glance backward, we turn to the future with a determination render the best service} of which we are capable. May this greeting find /you happy and hopeful, and for all our people may there be much of joy and blessing. ? SEVEN BILLS ADVOCATED The service of C. E. Jones, chair < .man of the highway commission has rendered the state, has been very conspicuous, and he has given evi dence of intelligence and patriotism." r He will retire from the chairmanship . as ho has been elected a member of the house of representatives, frorry Lexingiton county. As a , legislator he is destined to make his mark. In the State newspaper a few days ago he outlined some of the measure.5* he ? proposes to introduce. Seven espec ially were mentioned, as follows: 1. No member of the general as sembly can be elected by the general assembly to any office. x 2. Not more than two members of any one family can hold offices in the state government. > 3. A candidate for governor must, before he can qualify, file a petition containing at l^east 10 per cent of his party's vote in the preceding state primary. 4. All state salaries, including those of the general assembly, will be cut 20 per cent. 5. No one on full-time pay for the state can work on the side for private fair). All legislative sessions limited to 20 flays. 7. No member of tho legislature can represent special interest, for pay, before any department or com *. mission of the state government. Nor i>: can any lieutenant governor or gov ernor represent before a state de f partment special interests for two years after leaving office. ::)( There is merit in each of Mr Jones' proposed measures, but wheth :y er or not he will be able to put them over is the question. His first meas ure is a good one, and his second one v:to.rthe effect that not more than two mcbera of any one family shall hold ? office in the state government, i* worth considering. Many no doubt will agree with him as to his third proposition. Voters get tirerl listen ing to candidates for Governor who do not stand any chance whatever of being elected, and If the list can be cut down it will be a good thing. The average tax-payer Will agree with him that ftalarieg should be cut 20j><pv cent., including those of tho general aasemlbty* Some 6fflcial? may bo overpaid, vftvile others are not paid any too big a Salary, and- his fourth Item will bring about a "heated" dls Ctwaion. Number five is a good Item, weM as number six. dumber sev en will precipitate mulch discussion. y but wiU ?erve a good flurpoee. We believe Mr. Jo*e??J* going to mak<*. 1 I an effort to do borne constructive work m the legislature, cutting- down cost a*d doing away with useless ex penses. '^His Work will be watched with interest. I ' ?, | We sometimes wonder who we are, or what we are. There are a number J of organizations of various typos, ( sending us just lots of ' write-ups j which they expect us to' carry free of charge, although in many instances | these articles have a distinct adver tising value to them.. If we were to. j publish all that is sent to us weekly , it would be necessary to print n num ber Of extra pages. These articles I are addressed to the auto editor, sports editor, aviation editor, radio editor, woman's page editor, and ihe j like, so we catch ourselves wondering some times just what kind of an edi tor we are or are we the ? whole cheese, and embrace the various qntfs mentioned above. vWell, we will just have to plod along and play the roll I of as many different kinds af editor ' that we can, at the same time trying to keep up our idenitv. \ , RICHARD H. EDMONDS ^ In the death of Richard II. Ed monds, of Raltmore. which occurred cn the 4th inst. at his home in Balti more, the south has lost one of its greatest friends and advocates. Mr. Edmonds founded the Manufacturer's Record and was its editor for forty six years. He achieved wonderful success with his magazine. He was a forceful writer and did much to pro mote the interests of the south. lie was a strong advocate of the enfroce ment of the prohibition law as well. He was not only a forceful writer but an eloquent and impressive speaker, land hie voice was often heard in ad vocacy of things worth while. His death brings sorrow to many in South Carolina who knew him personally. He was 78 years of ago at the time of ^ his death. | Evening Class Meetings at Antioch ' On Thursday night the following people met at the school house for poultry work: Mr. and Mrs. Luke Davis, Mr. Lang Sparrow, Mrs. Grace Caughman, Mrs. Chas.
