Anti-gambling legislation in the fol lowing states, whert: pool selling was formerly permitted, has, in recent years been enacted: Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Min nesota, New York, Virginia, Florida, Tennessee, Lousiana, South Carolina, California Indiana, Nevada and the Dis trict of Columbia. The only states that now permit race track gamblingare Maryland,Kentucky, Utah and Montana. Maryland has driven the gamblers out of certain counties and let them into others. Kentucky two years ago passed a state-wide racing commission law, so that all race-track gambling is now under the Pari-Mutuel system.—RgHh. more American. It would seem that the American is in error about rg^k track gambling in South Carolina. For several Weeks now there has been a racing meet at Charleston, which has drawn hundreds of people from the North. It is hardly reasonable to suppose that these races are run for the pure sport of the^thing, nor is it probable that the gate receipts would cover all expenses of purses, etc. The only deduction open, therefore, is that gambling is permitted and indulged in. It would be a good thing if the Legislature, which is now in session, would take some drastic steps towards the suppression of these meetings. There is a movement on foot to call an election on the question of voting t25,000 in bonds for the purpose of buying larger grounds and erecting a new school house here. In fact, a peti tion is now being circulated with that ■c/‘ object in view. The People hopes that every free-holder and elector to whom it is presented will sign it. To do so does not mean that you are bound to vote for this issue, but as this is a live issue, one that effects the educational interests of the coming generations, we trust that no one who has 1 the welfare of the boys and girls at heart will vote against the bonds. We have neither time nor space this week to go into a full discussion of the merits of sued a movement, but expect to have more to say later. In the meantime, however, we would be glad to have the expres sions of the people in this school dis trict, both for and against this ques tion. ( The legislature convenes today. We hope there will, be no disgraceful ma termounting between it and the gov- ernor.—Lancaster. News. We sincerely hope so too. But what is matermounting” anyhow?,Newberry Observer' Yes, do telL A definition would certainly be enlightening. Arrangements have beep made with .the proprietor of The People whereby this space will be at the disposal from week to week of Philagathos, a contri buting editor. ^—j ‘‘Bro bono Publico” has been chosen as the heading for this department be cause it means “for the public.good,” end the contributing editor has chosen for a pseudonymn the Qreek word Philagathos because it means a lover of the good, or of good things. Originality will bo of secondary im portance, the main purpose being to set before the readers of The People, week by week, a few paragraphs bear ing upon some queston of public ethics. Philagathos assumes , the responsibility for the opinions expressed* in this de partment. This week we simply set forth the opinion of Aristotle, the Greek philoso pher, of the Gamble^. In hi# Nicomachean Ethics, translated by D. P. Chase, treating of Liberality (extravagance) and stinginess, among bther things he says, “Now the dicer and the bath-plunderer and the robber belong to the class of the Stingy, for they are given to base gain; both busy themselves and submit to disgrace for the sake of gain, and the one ^lass incur the greatest dangers for the sake of their booty, while the others make gain of their friends tc^ whom they ought to Ije giving. - So both classes, as wishing to ni&f£e gain from improper sources, are, given to base gain, and all such -receivings are Stingy, And with good reason is Stinginess called the contrary of Liber ality (extravagance;) bothj because it is a greater evil than Prodigality, ‘and because men err rather in this direc tion than of the Prodigality which have spoken of as prtrfjerly and yletely such.

Express as follows: “The country boy is leaving the farm and going to the city to ‘get a job.’ That much is a definite fact. You caql J see it so in every community. He goes^- to the city because he can get a steady salary and he’s sure of its coming in every week—if he gets the job. He contends that he doesn’t have to work as long hours nor as hard. Whether he’s in the right about that he will find out later on. On the farm he has to get up at daybreak and work till dark, and then he has the ‘chores’ to do. He works hard all day and he has to wait for, crops to mature before he gets re sults, and he takes a chance on the crops. This is his argument, you know. In town he doesn’t have to get up until&o’cloGk anyway, and at six at night his work is done. Sundays he can dress up all day and—spend what he has worked ,a week to earn. He doesn’t take into consideration that he works fifty one weeks in the year to get one of vacation—often loses his pay for that—nor that if he is sick a day or week his pay stops, nor that the cease less grtnd of the city~is- bound to wear out his nerves before he is forty-five— nor anything except that little fact be* fore his nose, a little fact whifch has assumed such enormous proportions that he can’t see over nor around nor under it—the ‘steady’ pay envelope.^ The Express commenting on the above adds: “How has the country boy Come to get such a distorted vision? Simply because he hasn’t been trained to see anything better in country life. He has seen his father and mother slave their lives away and not have very much,to show for it as they near the end, and in his eager desire to receive the ‘steady envelope’ of -the merchant or manufacturer, he fails to catch the large vision or to realize that the coun; try offers.a-hetter opportunity for/M independent living th: individual rural school is an expensive proposition because it does- hot educate the child for country life, and so goes to the city and the farms thereby impoveughed m<LiiUL-Xiti£8 overcrowded /With people, .many- of whom are incapable of making a living for theiqselves. the community mus: educate the youth toward the farm. ^ Total ^ 181-4 ' Commutation tax will be $1.50 and should be paid by all persons liable for Road Duty. — Special School Levy.
