It will be of interest to our people to krow how the Colleton delegation voted when the quAtlon o' expunging from the record that portlcn of Governor BierHe’a enes- aage on the - libel bill which “sneered at the courts, derounced as liars the newspaper people, de- nourced as servile and spineleM the editors in South Carolinr.. who from week to week edit the weekly papers of this State. de nounced as a dirty liar a member o the house, and denounced a* thieves r-nd scoundrels everybody who differed with his excellency.*’ Hon. J. W. Hill and Hon. J. T. Polk of the Colleton delegation voted to expunge while Hon. D. L. Rmlth was one of the twenty- nix members who voted to spread on the record this message which as Mr. Stevenann said: “Ruthless ly ar>d wr-ntonly wrung the heart dtrlngs of the accomplished and lovely woman who was mr-de desolate by the bullet from the mag asine pistol In front of this state house, nf«rrcd to in the message under discussion, and bad Insulted her with the charge that she* had married a man of mixed blood and mulatto sip-nip- -a libel upon* the dead and dist'ngulslied editor, and nn insult to the white manhood of South Carolines who would not hav submitted to the Influence which that great editor exerted In any but a white man.” CASH IN ADVANCK PLAN. The announcement made several weeks ago that The Press at>d Standard would be placed on a cash In advance heels at the conclusion of the voting contest now being con ducted, has been received with fa vor by the patrons and subscribers of the paper. We have not heard of n man who objeccted to the Int-o vatlon |n newspaper circles In-Colle ton county. Kveryone seems to re cognise the justness 6f the plan, and we are sure It will work a hardship on no one. The payment of a dollar a. .year for the paper ta a pittance for aacb subscriber, and we are agrs there in no good ron ton why any person who gets the paper would wish ta have us wait till the ead of the year for thm subscription, stpeeially aa a good portion* of it mast go for paying tfca actant expeaaaa of laming tbo papar. Tat wn woald have ao ob- Joetlon to doing thta were we not Impoeed upon by tbo unscrupulous who do not intend to pay for their poper. and unfortunately there are a good many aacb la tbo eoaaty. ° Tbla polat la illoetrated by a rule adopted at the ‘ teleraph office at Walterboro. We bad occasion a fow days stree to call ap the office sad ask the operator to take a tel egram over the ’phone. The reply w^s that the operator would be pleased ta accommodate us bat that they bad lost so much by this meth od that they had to refuse to take any telegre-tn over the ’phone. ' We recognised the Justness of the de cision, and reallxrd that It was a business necessity. So Tt Is with a newspaper. Wher* the cost of is suing a paper has incirreed so greatly, we cannot afford to do nate many subscriptions. H'we ou •rule which .will be adhered to strict ly. but never without an expert High way engineer to have charge of the work of the county. Our theory was that an appointive commission would take the road work out of politics, ard glye us a business rd- nflnlet ration. The record* will being made by the legislature to cut the appropriation for Winthrop college below whet Is asked fgr, although this amount is leas than It was a year ago. We trupt that the members of the Colletoo dele gation will-vote to do nothing of speak for the accomplishment since! the sort. This college needs every that law went Into effect. {cent asked, and anything less would The recent bill Introduced by cripple it. There were T 356 ap- Serator Ackerman has for Ita puj 1 - pRcants thia year for admission ’io pose the c-bollshlng of the offices the college, and orly 745 of these of county supervisor and com-; applicants could be admitted. In mlssioners and the substitution of the name of 611 whose chance for a highwry commission to tyive an education has posrfbly been entire control of the duties of these officials. The people of Colleton county are opposed to this action, and j the properly so. We do not think, nor^fbr the y do they, that it is a safe proposi tion for the delegation to assume so much ruthority. With the pres ent delegation this great responsi bility might be exercised with an eye single to the good of county, but there might come a time when such could not be said. Then the precedent* established would be a dangerous one. We desire to ft-vor ar amendment to this proposed legislation. The amendment we wish to favor Is to have r. county supervisor elected hy the county at large, ard a township rommlssioner elected by each town ship. l,et these officials hold office for two years, 'r-nd require that they hold monthly meetings on the first Mondr.y in each month for the purpose erf auditing bills, each town ship commissioner to have charge of the affairs of that township from which-he is clgctcd. The compQnrr.- tion-could Ik* either a per diem or a flat salary. the chain gann be sent, to a township every month, which would % -give two months for the supervisor to use it for the repair of bridges ar<l work of c generj.1 nature. In this w •> the townships have say so as to their represdntatlve. and we would have an example of local self government We have dlcsussed the matter with a number of leading citixera from different parts of the county, and they r.re unanimous In the op inion that this would be a fir more preferable plan than that of abol ishing the offices of supervisor ard commissioners and making their successors appointive. cut off. we plead not only for what the college asks, but for a larger r-ppropriation to meet the demands the State for higher education oung women.
