He refused point htaak to sigh some county bills. That is muQUial, you know. According to the way things are done the County Delegation dees just as it pleases and gels away with it. Not so this time. Governor in hi s own time found satae bills waiting for his signature. They called for bond issues for certain county roads and in some measure al so called for the State Highway to be- crune interested.

Kemper Cooke and Isaac H. Hunt, pass ed away. Kemper Cooke! What a train of memories that name brings! What a fighter he was; what a gladiator in both the House and the Senate. Fear less, cutapoken, pysistent, yet along with it intelligent. No man wanted to arouse him in debate; no man wds safe if Cooke’s eagle eye could find a weak spot in his armor. He loved his t State and he hated crookedness. No. mere refreshing or courageous spirit has appeared! in our public life. Mr. Hunt—Colonel' “Ike” Hunt— quiet, charmiinng gentleman, leader in every good work, or humble'follower —he was present, doing his part. South Carolina needs men like Mr. Hunt and Mr. Ccokd.

Politics is the most absorbing hot- weather game. .Here is something that gives one considerable pause. Mr. Burnett R. JMaybank is Mayor, of Charleston. He defeated Mr. Law rence M. • Pinckney. Mr. Pinckney was supported by the Grace faction. Later Mr. Pinckney was given a big Federal appointment. One must^ as sume that this was with the acquies cence, at least, of Senator Byrnes.
