Undoubtedly it changes very radically the character of the State Highway department. The question ii! whether it docs not threaten to tiansform it from an efficient busi rtess organization into a political machine. That such a fear in justified can not well be disputed when \t is noted that the power of engaging and 6f discharging all employes is espe cially taken- away from the State Highway Engineer and the Secretary of the Commission and is conferred upon the State Highway Commis sioner. Certainly neither the State Highway Engineer nor the Secretary can be, expected to secure efficiency in their respective departments if they have no control over their em ployes; and it is .certainly in order that tile public should be informed by the General Assembly of its. rear soip; for making a change of this character, one which on its face would seem to be violative of the ; basic principles ?? f efficient business management. The public would like to knows too, why the Chief Highway Commissioner should have given arbitrary pow ers to distribute the funds col lected from licenses and the gasoline tax i?i such banks as he may personally designate, upon such terms as he may personally agree upon, .'and without any interest or security | prior to the funds being placed in I the hands of the state treasurer; his authority not even ending there but extending to the depositing of the funds afe'r they are in the hand's _V?f the state treasurer. To give to oru man the hiring and firing of all em ployes of the State Highway De partment and the authority over all its moneys ? say something like fiv million dollars ? is to clothe him with enormous power. At the present time the situation is that here there has been passed a bill of the very largest public in terest, a bill giving to one man pow ers beyond those which any other man in the state has wielded or will be in position to wield, and the pub lic did not even know that anything Of this kind was in the wind until the whole thing was over. We have been surprised, for that matter, to | learn from the chairman of the Highway Commission, Mr. Rhett, that so far as he knows no intention of i the uurpose of this new law was ever laid before the commitiioj), the f ir.-*t intiiiiation that ho personally had with respect to it huving been after its p;?s*a?v when, seeing in tho news papers that' it had passed, he sent to Columbia and secured a copy <>f j itj being amazed when he discovers! ; its terms, whieh were wholly out (if [line with what he hid been led to believe H was propositi to do. it j certainly queer that a bilf so far reaching i" its possibilities should "Have been put through under surh I circumstances and explanations as to ! the whole business art* plainly called [for.' ? ' ' Richard, the Lion-Hearted, during i in- prustidt ''i niled that no person in the army beneath tne de? ! gree of knight could play any sort | of game for money. Knights and cler j gymon might do so, but no one was {permitted to loac more than 20 shil j lings in one whole day and foight, {under penalty of 100 shillings. | Thirty falconers on horseback had charge of JCdWard Ill's hawks when lie invaded l-'rance. ' ' - Kershaw County Farm Women Meet j The regular spring meeting of the j i Kershaw County Council of Farm ; iWomen was held Saturday morning jut 11:30. Mr. J. G.

Reports were then made on the ! work * gf each home demonstration, J,t*hjb in the county. .The Lugoff club * i gave a particularly good report, hav i ; ing held regular monthly meetings i each month last year, although there . .'was no home demonstration agent i tj | ' the county ftir several months, This club has won first prize at the'counlyj 'fair for two consecutive years, and I is planning to enter the ?state fair j this year. The Cantey club was also { well represented, and is doing splen did work in gardening.

Mrs. B. R. True*- ' flalc gave a report on the fair, having' done much toward making it a sue ; cess. , After these reports Hun. W. B. deLoach of the Camden bar gave a fine talk on citizenship, emphasising the importance of obedience to the law. Mr*, Randolph Kirkland, one of Camden's most popular musicians then sang a nolo, accompanied by Mrs. Clifton McCain. Miss Kethen, tin marketing epeeialiii from Wktfehf o ?> College then gave a very instructive talk on marketnig, calling attention i to the improvements made in the method* of marketing poultry, Mi . : Iio la ml (ioodalo of the legislative committee was introduced? and ffl I > lutisiy offered her support; to fliw undertaking of the council. Mrs. s. C. Plowden, tHo district agent spoke if the importance of home demonstra tion work, and called on the council to work for 100 per cent attendance at all club meeting*.
