Any |>erson co invited with a newspaper in those ?lay* who would have dared solicit ,car?h of thanks from defeated candi dal would have been kicked out of xhf>p. Anji rightfuly so in those old day or now, for the press ought not attempt to ride the candidates, suc cessful or defeated, and such tactics are very unjust and uncalled for. \V? oppose that this condition is just a little fore-runner of t he day when some few newspapers, (thank tiod there- will always l>e some left in the hands, of men who refuse to fly the dollai on the mast) will send adver tising solicitors to the homes of the beieaved to ask if cards of' thanks may he puhliftltt+d ?

M. L. Bon ham, of Awtwutwy prr^idmp over the September term of the court of gen eral sessions nddi casing the York county giand Jury yesterday morniug after that body had been organized. One of the gravest problems con fronting the people of the county and state now. Judge Honham went on to aay, is the proper safeguarding of 1 i f?' and limb of the highway*. Nothing is more conducive to the prosperity and welfare of the county than good roads, Judge Honham went on to ?ay, and we must tak? action to protect "in fit i /?? 1 1 -> against that class which ha.H no regard for the traf fic laws. We have plenty of laws to m k 11 late tiatl'ic but we .must xee to it that our traffic laws are enforced. Since wo aie spending so much money in this state to build good roads isn't it good policy to spend a little more money to see that those roads are properly policed? I have the utmost contempt for the mnn who has no regard for the f ights of his fellow man on the public high way. Some newspaper man has dub bed the man who is reckless and care less and selfish on the road as a "road hog." To dub such a man as a "road hog" in my opinion is unfair to the four legged hog. Such a person is a potential murderer. In the state of Massachusetts all automobile drivers must undergo an! examination as to their fitness to handle an automobile before they are granted a driver's license. That is a good idea. It was my privilege to visit in the state of pregon some years ago. The people of thnf state have traffic laws whereby the roads are divided into sections and other traffic laws are enforced that greatly i ? .. . r..*.. ? t i:#? I .ate newspaper interviews strongly intimate that Judge Mendel I.. Smith, formet spcakei of the South Carolina House of Representatives and long a leading member of the General As sembly, is coming back to the House \shaw county to champion a tux bill. We hasten to welcome Judge Smith in such a role and wo are wi*hifi? the utmost power to his legislative arm.

They have fumbled the hall in past years by leaving every- '? thing to the legislature, just liko a business man who hires a hand and *' turns over affairs to him, without ever a look in. The rank and file 1 have been murmuring about errors in taxation programs. Now thejr-j should come forward and help their i servants in the legislature straighten ' out the chain.
