Such a law would even prevent a candidate from passing around a 3A cent plug of tobacco,in extracting the juice from which there is so much innocent and genuine pleasure; the fumes of the aromatic and redolent social cheroot would forever cease to rise.

I will give my views on the pen lon law of South Carolina. It is unjust in many parts. 'First: I believe any one that ul.isted of his own free will, and Lid believe that secession was the 'ight course to pursue ought not to Iiaw any pension. Second: I believe every inan hat was forced or went to the war nerely becaumse this was his coun ry. and fought, ought to draw a >ension if he is not able to ilve [ therwise. I don't believe It just for somne o drawv pensions that never fired a un in the war, and their families a rawing the tenth while they were rom home. I don't think it just for man to work his family and pay t 0 per cent of all they made to < :eQp up the war, and, at the close i f the war, lose all he has and then n his last days) tax him to keep p others that don't deserve it. But such is life. So 1 reckon hey can't maka a law that will fit 11l, so we will have to work along he best we can. IFeby. 0, 1908. J. LOOPER. Col. 1i. E. Hagood. Col. J1. E.
