F. Smith not only Easley and Pickens county but the state at large has suffered a distinct loss, for he was a public sprited, patri otic citizen. Never, since he has reached the age of manhood, has town, county or state called for his patriotic service but that he was ready with his talent, and money to further the best interes1 of his people. His mental capacity wa, of a high order, so much so that if h4 had chosen any profession in the liter arv world he could easily have beei S-among the first of any profession. Ii the. study and practice of medicine . which he followed for only a few years he was considered among the best While he was recognized as a leader i: the politics of his state, often his coun ' set was sought on many difficult prob lems, and while he was looked upon a. a-financier of great ability, yet his tal t; ents never showed to better advantag4 than when he was discussing the Bibl -the Word of God-for which he ha( is great love and reverence. He studiec 7 it and was able to discuss it intelligenty with our best theologians. A man oJ large means, he helped the poor and t needy when he considered such help was 'n worthily bestowed.

WITH OURI The proposal to appint a committee of five to investigate the feasibility of establishing a brick plant on the state farms and operating it with convict la bor met with favor in the house. The resolution to this effect by Mr. Lee of Spartanburg was sent to the senate by a large vote. With the intention of protecting mort gagors from unscrupulous mortgagees, the house passed to third reading a bill I providing the manner in which mort gages for personal property shall be executed. The opinion seemed to be widely current in the house that mort gagees of personal property had fre quently imposed upon mortgagers, es pecially when the latter were illiterate. I The bill passed was a substitute bill by the judiciary committee for the bill in troduced by Mr. Wallace. The bill fol lows: Section 1. That all mortgages of per, sonal property made by any persor shall be executed in the presence of twc disinterested persons and who are not related to the mortgagee either by ties of blood or marriage and who are not in the employ of the mortgagee; said per. sons shall hear the mortgage, which shall be executed in duplicate, read and explained to the mortgagor, after which said persons shall subscribe their names to said mortgage as attesting witnesses. All mortgages of personal property not executed in accordance with the provis ions of this act shall be null and void: 1'ovided, That this act shall apply only h mortgages of $50 or less. ",is act shall become effect of ..- resident hunters uses are to be issued by cierks of courts, game wardenE - any bed-rd..agent of the chiel .nmwirden on the paymeni .af a fee of 10 cents. The pro )ceeds from the sale of licenseE are to go to the game protection fund to be redistributed Dropor tionately among the counties al Sthe end of the year for the school Sfund, after deducting the cost ol renforcing the game lavws in the lseveral counties. The house refused to strikE out the enacting words of thE Sbill by a vote of 63 to 47. Mr. Liles of Orangeburg, in explaining his resident hunters license bill, said that it would Sbenefit the farmers by prevent ing the destruction of insectivor Ious birds. Thirty-nine states, tie said, already had the law. Mr. Toole of Aiken declared that the title should be changed 1to read "a bill to protect the Shunting preserves of northern millionaires," as this would bE its principal effect. Mr. Berry of Orangeburg said jthat the bill was "'aimed for thE protection of the city sport, whc was able to buy his license, and Sthe big landowner." Mr. Searson of Barnwell said t~hat the bill would prevent dep redations on game. Mile Creek Graded School Honor Roll First Grade-Ethel Curtis, Bobbie Nix, Tama Tompkins, Jr. Second Grade-Mary Dalton.

The most distressing phase of life in this institution is the utter lack of work and play for the patients, under the supervisionof a teacher. The weekly dances are given in winter and the mov ing picture shows during summer. Di versional occupation is unknown. During the past year 224 patients were discharged as improved and 109 as unimproved, while 560 died. There is no after care or placing out system. There is no special provision for the tubercular insane. There is no way to segregate the pel legrins. The importance of this is shown in the following table, taken in part from the 90thl annual report of the hospital: Year Admitted, Recovered. Died. 1907 4 - - 1908 46 - 33 1909. 112 4 68 1910 213 14 106 1911 284 28 154 1912 273 35 228 1913 366 36 165 1914 462 7 356 Dr, Herring says that from the above statements it is evident that the asylum "does not in any way conform to the standards existing in a modern hospital for the insane." The fire protection is entirely inade quate. Not only are these buildings veritable firetraps in their present con dition, but the lack of fire extinguishers and the condition of the hose, as found in some of the wards, makes the danger from fire a real and terrible disaster to contemplate.

We notice a certain corres pondent to this paper objects to our solons making the term of auditor, treasurer, county supt. *of education four years instead of two. We see only one thing lacking in the bill to be all 0. K. and that is to include the of fice of county commissioners. The writer has always advo cated a four year term for all county officers, even the magis trates, and biennial sessions of the general assembly. It cost a man something to run for an office now and when a man is elected and goes to SO much ex pense, saying nothing about the trouble of moving to town, he should be allowed to hold that office as long as four years, pro vided he is competent and hon est and if he is not we have a law to put him out and put in a man who is.
