PROVIDE COMMISSION The Intelligencer is heartily In favor of an extended street paving propo sition and trusts thut the legislature will pass some act that will rutlfy the recent vote adopting the constitution al amondment providing for assessing abutting property owners to pay for half the cost of the paving. This will be done with Jftlle delay, we are sure. The next proposition, then, will be the passage of an ordinance by the city Council providing for an election to maire this act operative in Anderson. If the election ordered carries then there will be paving done to the extent of about 1200,000.00, and this is a very much needed consummation. Tho Intelligencer desires to favor the paving proposition, and we believe that the majority of the citizens or Anderson favor it, but they do not favor it so much that they will blind ly vote for it, Just because it is called street paving?' They must be convinced that the funds secured by this method will be wisely and well administered. In other words, they wish that certain restrictions be thrown around the ex penditure of this large sum of their money, and they are going to demand, and properly, that a commission of re sponsible business men chosen by themselves, be elected to have In charge this important matter. Already much ls being said along this line, and if the talk heard on every side means anything, the people who vote will de feat the paving proposition if this be not done. To take this out of the hands of the City Council' should be to their liking also, on account of the nature of the work to be dode. If the people find oc casion to "cuss" snyone on account of the paving. It will be better of those who wish to stay In their good graces so that they might be reelected, to have as little to do with lt ss possible. And on the other hand, if they And nothing to "cuss" tn lt, there will be such a demand upon the members of Council that they will have no peace of mind .while the paving is being done, and other important business will be neglected. The Council can take it from us, to use a slangy ex pression, that If they really wish pav ing to be done, they mest provide for a commission bf three or five men to have the matter'in charge, along with their City. Engineer, and not attempt to handle it themselves. Let- ut-s tart this proposition right, and upon non-political lines. Make lt a business matter. ONLY ONE MORE CHANCE The Intelligencer wonders if tho present governor will not alienate the confidence end esteem of many of bis followers and friends If he keeps up hts present tactics the last week of his administration. It would appear that he ia trying to do those things that will "shock" even his moat ardent supporters. What excuse can he give, ?hat will go, for disbanding the mtll 1tia': pf Sooth Carolina by one felt swoop? He surely dos not wish to leave South Carolina without the pro tection ot her cltlien soldiery in case of a riot cr mob rule anywhere with in her borders. True he has not used the militia since he baa been gover nor, hut that does pot mean that his successor shall not have uso for the strong arm. of our soldiers to enforce tba law;- lt may be against race track gambling, 'br to save some poor wretch from mob violence. If the Governor will now grant a complete amnesty to all remaining prisoners and. set every convict free, restoring citizenship, it will be a fit ting termination to his reign as gov ernor ot the Palmetto State over which a Hampton and % Rutledge once ruled as chief executive. And, lt would seem that this id about the last act that he can perform that will excite any but passing notice. His time ls short, and he should act at once. It may be a long way to power again for him. "OLD GRANNY* TAKES ISSUE The Newe and Courier discusses a recent editorial In The Intelligencer, anent the prohibition discussion which has been going the rounds ot tbs press. Or rather. The Hews and Cour ter makes of this editorial a pea; on which to hang tts threadbare argu ment against State-wide prohibition, and an excuse for repeating it. We are reproducing thia vdltorial, not calling attention to ft without giving our read era a chance to see the argument ad vanced lp, support of tba position taken, which? by th a way. soasas to be a favorite'custom with the non-prohi bition press, which for South Care? lina has been harrowed to about four newspaper?, two of which are ta Char lesion. Tbs argument ts that under State wide prohib? ion the enforcement of th? UM? would be under central gov ernmental contre^ a^d that the tocal lor county authorities would fold their j hands end alt ?0010*1? by while the This condition ?of affales-.in .ro?na. ?*ill we trust, wnttfi <4 ecutlve's office who wilt see to it that iwhut is law for Anderson county ts also law for Charleston county. Why cannot a law be inforced by a central government? Has not the chief exec utive power to enforce any and all lew? Are we to admit 'hat any county or any section can i aside any law? If the prohibition law, why not any other? Why cannot any county defy the "central government?" We admit that this has been dope in effect, but we feel sura that Governor Manning wilt see to it that even Charleston obeys some of the laws of the State. According to the history of the past few years, that county has been a law unto itself, and especially In the mat ter of liquor laws. Th. era will end soon, we opine, and Charleston will again bo "annexed to South Carolina." 'But, the enforcement of the law, If South Caroline votes State-wide prohi bition, does not bother us in tbe least. The editor of The Intelligencer was recently at the town of St. Matthews on Monday morning, and went down to the police court to see the offenders rounded up. It appeared that half the town were present to take part In the proceedings. It was learned that at the dispensaries the Saturday before there had been sold approximately 92,000 worth of liquor. The result was in this town of 1,600 persons, there were more than a score of offenses against the btw tc he tried. In Ander son, more than ten times AS large as St. Matthews, on tho some morning, there were not a batt dooen cases all told. Orangeburg dispensaries sold ?during December over 138,000 worth ?of liquors. Ot course all this was not sold to the citizens of these two coun ties, and this ls the very thing we should provide against-tho corrupt ing Influences of liquor being sold over the lines. Ih o'vcr words, the nullifi cation ot the local option exercised by adjoining counties which are not allowed to go ''dry" because of the "wet" counties on their border. The News and Courier says: The Anderson Intelligencer, which favors prohibition, confesses neverthe less to some doubts as to the proposed referendum. It IS afraid the liquor people Would spend thoussnda of dol lars In the effort to defest State-wide prohibition, and lt dreads the debauch ing effects of such an election. But do the liquor people care whether Sooth Carolina goes dry or not? Have they made any effort In those States which have State-wide prohibition to vote hack local option? The liquor people might even wel come State-wldo prohibition for South Carolina. At present.In many of those counties which hsvr voluntarily voted liquor under local option the senti ment against its illegal sale ls strong. Local authorities are active in pro-1 ceedlng against offenders. The law ts] unforced. Under State-wide prohib?-.| tion, with thc central government as suming the obligation of making pro hibition effective, the same alertness and efficiency might not be manifest ed locally. It ls entirely possible that in time more liquor would be sold In South Carolina under prohibition than is seid at present under local option. One of the strongest arguments lu favor of local option la a matter of this sort ia that the central govern ment has no moral right to enact a statute which lt ls not prepared to en-1 torce. Whenever it does so lt con-j tributes to the disrespect for law in general. It helps to breed lawbreak ers and hypocrites. It the reports from those South Car-1 elna counties which now have pron!* tion are to be trusted temperance ls making great gains in this State as matters now stand. There was less drunkannsaa during the recent holi days. lt has been stated again, and agalo. than In many years-perhaps than ever before In the history of the counties reporting. Why not let well enough alone? We are making headway aa it ia The su preme need in South Carolina ia a higher regard for the majesty of tbe law. Why make progress In this di rection virtually Impossible by the en actment of a statute which is sore to be disgracefully Ignored? BARD TIMES AND BAD ROADS Ben Franklin is credited by The I Philadelphia Ledger with the follow ing: "To Ulk prosperity Instead ot . ad versity baa the same effect on busi ness that the substitution of a stone road for a mud highway has upon transportation. It makes it easy for prosperity; to arrive, for lt sm ootha, the way. So. let na all talk up. not down, fur the next alx months, and see what becomes of lt." We are reminded hy thia, saying of tba old philosopher that times are tn some respects th? same now that they were than, lt would seem thst Ben hid heard some talk about hard 'irnos, and lt we.are to believe the Vary ff bia Ute he himself bad soase experiences , along that line, and be must have bad a speaking acquaint :Sffb?t? sn*3! tuting . stone road for ?mod blah way. lt, he never Saw a real nutt highway we ara very sure of coe thing, we could show him one or more, and do so without leaving town.

Representative Clark, of Florida, au thor of the bill, declared intermar riage worked harm to both races. Re publican Leader Mann and Represen tathfe Madden, of Illinois, opposed the measure. Mr. Clark said that If the negro I has a part In the universe he should ?have it as s member of a distinctive [race "and not as a mongrel."
