The State is doing a tremendous business and the legal af- ihirs of this business are in the hands of the attorney general. The present bond issue demands the very best legal talent, he said.

Hamblin, of Unkm, speaker of the House, and W. W. Somak came in for considerable portions of his volley. "Richards, the great religionist,” he declared, "thinks more of enforc ing Sunday laws that he does of any thing else. Brother Smoak reminds me of Bishop Cannon or a medieval monk, put forth by the Cipio the First government of South Carolina.” He brought in what he termed the "Milk Bottle Bill,” which he said, when it finally wound up, was a bill to validate bonds, declaring the only kinship to be that “the milk bottle is a container for milk and pap with which to feed babies and invalids and the bond issue is a container for pap whth which to feed politicians.” McMahan aimed his guns at Edgar A. Browto also, referring to the chair man of the meeting as "my friend, in a parliamentary sense only.” He criticised Colonel Brown for holding the county chairmanship two years ago while a candidate for the State Senate and described him as "ponti- ficus magnus under John G. Rich ards.” He said his only aim was to "re form the State” by "awakening the people to the evils all about them in their government.” Smoak vs. McMahan. W. W.
