No arti cle which is defamatory or offensively personal can find place in our columns at any price, and we are not respon sible for the opinions expressed in any son, and because they have sense enough to percieve that -the drinking habit is detrimental, does not that very fact imply that the fellows prhpdo not cut it out haven’t sense enough to ge] out of the rain? “Bugs” Raymond might have con tinued to be a wonder on the aiamond but he had not sense enough to let liquor.alone. What is thfe result? In this connection is well to note the' fact that “Total abstinence from alcoholic stimulants will be strictly ob served dbringw Ernest Shackleton’s trip across the South Polar Continent. He and bis men propose to iwof k long hours, including eight- hours marching every day, but for stimulant -they will rely on nothing stronger than tea or cocoa.” _ .

Because a California Judge sentenced • young negro to 30 years’ imprison ment for kissing a white girl, he re ceived numbers of protests, threats of recall and denuciation. Deputations of white women also visited the Judge, demanding that action be taken to save the negro from such severe punish ment. the negro had taken a dime from the white girl before kissing her, and it is said that he had subjected six other young white women to the same treptmant, besides criminally attacking two negro gtrtf. If-the people of California are willing fttTtheir women to be insulted in this tnimoer by a negrb brute without re penting it, we fail to understand why it is necessary to pass such stringent alien land laws, prohibiting the Japan- ase from acquiring land. No self-res- peotlng Jap or Chinaman would care to live in such a community. When a man is thinking of moving to a town, probably the first think' he wants to know Is, “Is it a law-abiding, Church-going community?” The next question he asks is, “Has the town got a good school?” Now, what’s your answer on the proposed bond issue fora new school building and grounds? Ev.nU of the Put Week Briefly for Our Reeder*. Fairfax, March 7.—Mrs. S. A. Jen kins and Zoe Thomas have returned from a trip to Savannah, where they attended the marriage of Holbrook Jenkins to Miss Ethel Elizabeth Dick erson at the parsonage of the First Baptist church. Immediately after the ceremony the couple visited. several points in Florida, then came to Fairfax and visited the groom’s mother and sis ters. They will live in Savnnah. Mrs. Cynthia Ginn has gone to Luray to spend some time. Misses Altman and Chovin of Sa vannah visited Mrs. Benj. Buckner re cently. Miss Flora Kenny spent the week-end with home folks at Johnston. * ’ r ~ Miss Frances bea of Holly Hill is spending some time with Mrs, W. L. Brooks. - to Columbia.

Among English-speaking peoples this has been accepted for centuries as a cardinal nrinciple of representative government. To quote the language in which it was first embodied when its' concession by the crowd was required, it has been held that the legislator is entitled to “freedom from all impeach- merrt, Imprisonment, and molestation (other than by the censure of the House itself) for or concerning and speaking, reasoning or declaring any matter or matters” touching legislative busi- neaa. —:—i———;— Representatives Stevenson and Barn well were altogether within their rights in the comments they made upon the Asylum investigation, but even though they had not been it was the duty of the House to repel any attempt by an invader to hold them responsible with in its halls for anything they had said. While sitting as legislators they were amenable only to the House. We talk a great deal about laws as if here were much virtue in them. Yet lere was the chief executive of the State wr&thfully entering the halls of a branch of the lawmaking body, assail ing individual members in their seats and inviting them to a breach of the peace! How much are its laws worth t6 the people at large while the State Legisla ture sits .by and does absolutely nothing either to protect its members or assert its own rights and dignity?
