The Governor signed the Work
’s Compensation Act last Wednes-
and announced the five Commis-
ners whom he had selected, Messrs.
John H. Dukes, of Orangeburg, chair
man; and John W. Duncan, of Aiken;
I. L.. Hyatt, of Spartanburg, and Cole
man C. Martin, of Charleston. Th&
Governor had this bill on his desk two

suaded in'his own mind he just let
it soak. -v
Governor Johnston gfets a lot of our
attention this week. 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. The Governor could
out see his may clear to put any bond
isana an any county or t: let the State
become a party even through re-im-
lairsement agreements. Se he said
JML The men from the interested
counties couldn't see eye-to-eye with
him but his was the signature needed
smd he refused to sign. Haven’t we
really learned to quit mortgaging cur
future? Ai'hpjt we today staggering
under a weight of debt ? The heaviest
part of our tax burden today is the
debt of prosperous years. If this De
pression hasn’t taught us anything
let u s rejoice that the Governor has
learned what bended debt means' to
the people.
South Carolina suffered a great
loss last week. On the same day H.
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. 'Entirely dis
similar, yet they stood for all that
would enrich the State. . The courage-
battler of the hustings, heroic, ever^,,
in his attitude, and the modest, soft-
spoken man whose counsel was sought
by churchmen and by feaders of in
dustry, whose life wa s an example of
industry, with fruitful attainment, and
whose influence pervaded the State.

Mr. Burnett R. JMaybank is Mayor, of

was supported by the Grace faction.
Later Mr. Pinckney was given a big
