PUNITIVE DAMAGES SHOULD GO There Is a strong movement in the general assembly to abate or abrogate the punitive damago nuisance In South Carolina. It Is correctly argued that If punitive damages are levied against any citizen or corporation the damages should go to the individual Pjjnltive damages are in the nature of punishment, and why should a private citizen levy punishment? If a' citizen is Injured or damaged in any! way by another, the law Justly says that he li) entitled to compensation at! the hands of the party-so Injuring or damaging him. If the injury or dam-; ago OCCl!r? hv reason of violation of a law, in addition to paying the just J damago it may be right to inflict a1 fine or punitive damages. But if the' la\f is violated, it is against the state' and not the individual The present law encourages needless lawsuits and frequently works a hardship in that! sympathy plays a big part In the proceedings?Bamberg Herald.

THE LESSON IS THERE A wise man values past mistakes, because they show him what not to do A wise state government should do likewise. South Carolina was in the liquor selling business one time, and the evils that grew out of the dispensary system clearly revealed the folly of the venture. Now a new move is on foot to put the state into the liquor business. Are the results of the first mistakes to be forgotten ? Anderson Independent. Mrs. George Rhame Is visiting her mother.
