Thursday, Feb. 16,1905
? ????????? ?
The legislature has done practically
aothing but kill bills. True some bad
* ones were killed, but the best measures
introduced met a like fate.
*
* *
* We notice that S. J. Simpson, Esq., of
8partanburg, will be a candidate for Federal
Judge in case the new district is
created for the upper part of the State.
Mr. Simpson is an able lawyer, and would
fill the position acceptably.
&VT * #
In the spring, just about the time people
are whitewashing fences, barns, etc.,
the committee appointed by the legislature
to investigate the dispensary will
meet and administer a nice coat of whitewash
to that institution. Just wait and
see if we are not right in this assertion.
* *
The legislature killed the compulsory
education law, the dispensary bill, and
others of some importance. However,
we consider the two mentioned to be the
most important. Is it any wonder that
the general assembly is severely criticised
Bwhen such measures as these are defeated?
- **#
We do not always agree with the editorial
utterances of our friend, General
Bobert R. Hemphill, of the Abbeville
Medium, but we always read his paper
with much enjoyment. His legislative
letters have been a source of genuine
V pleasure to us, but he's way off on his
iews about compulsory education.
-t *
The people of McCormick are naturally
f sore, over the defeat of their new county
project, and of course we sympathize with
them. However, the territory they proposed
to cut off is not in proper shape
lor a symmetrical county, and they will
Always fail unless they change the lines.
We believe in small counties, but they
should be in proper shape and the lines
be run with due regard for the old
:: . counties.

Senator Geo. H. Bates, of Barnwell, resigned
as school trustee before he was
sworn in as Senator. Would that every
- man in public life had as high conception
.. ' of the doty of a public official, which is to
obey the law. The constitution says that
so person shall hold two offices of either
honor or profit, and yet it is being violated
all over the State and by men in the
V . highest public positions. Senator Tillman
is a shining example of this double
office holding, but whoever heard of his
vofnatttcr unv nfflee he COttld net?
We are pleased that the legislature has
fig : refused to abolish the department of immigration
and labor, presided over by
Mr. E. J. Watson, commissioner. Frankly,
we have not seen any v special results
of the work, but the department has
only been organized one year, and no
man conld do much in that time, to say
nothing of having such a limited appropriation
at his disposal. It will take time
for the work to bring results, but we
believe they will come. At any rate it
was wise action to continue the department
until it has had a fair show.

The editors of the Bam well Sentinel
are trying to arouse a spirit of enterprise
among the business men of that town,
and they ask some questions which can
well be applied to many people in Bamberg,
so we will borrow them for use
here. What have you ever done foi
Bamberg ? "What has Bamberg done foi
you? What do you propose to do foi
Bamberg? Some people make money out
' of the business which is brought here
largely by the efforts and money ol
other people yet they never contribute
one cent to build up the town, have nc
stock in any public enterprises, nor tak(
any interest in the welfare of the town
Is it not time that we were all getting
together? There should be no outsiders
in matters where the town's interest is
concerned. Let us all work together
and welcome every man who wants tc
work with us and give him a front seal
in our councils and representation and t
Toice in the management of business
nterp rises.

| Secretary of State Jesse T. Gantt has
published a reply to the report of the leg;
islative committee which examined the
I books of his office, but we do not see much
r in his reply. He says he will resign if he!
cannot prove to any unprejudiced book^
keeper that his office is all right. The
best thing he can do is to resign anyway.

The Southern Home came to to us this
. week as a monthly publication. It is now
published in magazine form, which is
more convenient for binding. The February
issue is decidedly good, the best yet
gotten out, and no South Carolina home
i should be without the magazine. From a
mechanical and literary standpoint it
ranks with the best publications, and its
editor has our most earnest wishes for
success.

Warning Against Traitors.
"The cotton planters of the Southern
States are warned against storing their
cotton in warehouses which make a practice
of lending them out to mills or to
shorts, in order to enable them to fill their
contracts. This convention is aware that
there are many such warehouses guilty of
this act of the basest treachery and breach
of faith and that their action has much to
do with the prevailing low price of cotton:
and the Southern Cotton Association
in convention assembled desires all planters
to place themselves on guard against
t such traitors within their midst."
It was openly stated on the convention
floor that cotton brokers and warehousemen
in Augusta had actually loaned the
people's cotton to the dealers to fill cons
tracts, and that much of this cotton had
. been already used up while its owners
still thought it was in the warehouses.
The chairman informed the convention
' that this had actually been done! So we
; who have cotton stored would do well to
, find out where our cotton is.

Is it right that a property owner should
? lose $420 to let a dealer make 50 cents?
? A dealer makes 50 cents more on fourteen
gallons of ready-for-use paint, at $1.50 per
gallon, than our agent does on eight galj
Ions of L. & M. paint and six gallons of
i linseed oil, which makes fourteen gallons
j of the best paint in the world, at $1.20
per gallon; the property-owner loses just
$4.20. Is it right? It only requires 4 gal>
Ions of L. & M. and 3 gallons linseed oil
t to paint a moderate sized house. Ten thou
