Ah a general rule The Now* and Herald Ih not favorably disposed to "government by letter* and telegrainB," for all too often Much mesMagna are ^'Inspired" by hoIUhIi, subsidized interests. But we do not hesitate to advocate a mans letter-writing. button-holing, telegramlng Jamboree to our so-called statesmen in the South Carolina general assembly, il ia high time thn gentlemen of the general assembly were informed that it is the will of the people of South Carolina that they get hohlnd theft* governor and get the Job done. Governor Muybank, being human, has made ntlstaKes. Ero bis term expires ho will mako other mistakes hut ho is eternally right In his controversy with the legislature. Considering his meagre powers, he has thus far made a first class chief executive and had ho enjoyed even the half-hearted co-operation of the legislature he would have done much morfc for the state of South Carolina. But some members of the House and Senate, feeding on prejudice and pettiness, taking to themselves an exulted and erroneous opinion as to their personal Importance, have endeavored and to a large extent succeeded in making a "glorified clerk" of the governor of South Carolina. .The Constitution of tho state and tho people who supposedly live under this Constitution never intended that such a sorry* situation should come to pass. It Is an old truism that a Democratic state or nation gets things clone in times of crisis only when it has a strong executive backed by a cooperative congress or legislature. Governor Maybank is ( or would bo) a strong^com^otent executive, but at a time when Democracy la trying to prove lt? Huperlorlty over totalitarian* tain, our representatives Addle [ aud fuaa and tunic. We arc getting nowhere In a hurry. ?'Y? Governor Ma^bank's uddreHM to the state last Friday rang with sincerity and witli gqod, hard common sense. One cent of tlie gasoline tax ehounl moat certainly he diverted to the general fund and the atate, we think, should put all of Ita monlea In one pot. The State Highway Depart: inent. efficient though It be?and the governor udinlta aa much? handlea entirely Too much money, and aa a consequence exerta far too much power oyer the leglalatiire and through It over the people of South] Carolina. It la not a healthy uttualion. And why, may one aak, did aome of the senators aee At to hold up for threo nvontha the defense appropriation proposed by the Fourth Corpa Area and requested by tffu governor last January? (It was only passed last week.) If this Isn't playing politics with the state's security, what would you term It? Only Tuesday the House (97 to 0) aud Senate (35 to 0) voted to overi ride the governor's veto of a local Harnwell county, bill and prior to tho vote, the cry- of "dictator" arose in the legislature. That, of course, is a phony cry which Is leveled at all strong chief executives because It contains political dynamite. Once, again, In regard to this matter, wo find ourselves in complete agreement with The Charleston News and Courier, a nowspapor which has been very free with Its criticism of unother strong executive' (tho president) but who hus never yet called him a dictator. If the legislature thinks Maybank Is trying to be a dictator why does It not Impeach him, queries Tho Courier? The answer Is that It does not dare for it knows the people of the stato are with Maybank. It's time for the poople back home to get wise to tho ways of some of their representatives in Columbia. This Is no tiino for peanut politics? Wiunsboro News and Herald. Grace Episcopal Church Sunday, May 18, has boon designated as "Rededlcatton 8unday" for all parishes beginning their roll call on May 11. All members of the parish are urged to be present at one of these services: Holy communion at 8 a. ni.: church school at 9:45 a. m.; morning prayer and service of rededicatlon at 11:15. Land Owners Readily Sign Up Fll-st Lieutenant J. D. Dial, county maneuver officer and hla assistant, Ernest C.

J. Hoeeuau, an authority on public health problems and now fct th? University of North Carolina, stated that milk heated not higher than 146\v degrees Fahrenheit for thirty minutes does not undergo any appreciable physical or chemical changes. Pasteurisation of milk consists ol holding the milk at MS degrees Fahrenheit for thirty minutes, well Wlow the boiling point-of 212 degrees Fata renhelt.
