She was approach ed by a person active in the Repub lican organizat’on in this state; it has gone down, do'vn, down to be con temptible in the view of all men ex cept candidates for the Republican nominations.

A report of the National Fire Waste Council calls attention to the many cities and towns not having a building code, and they unge concert ed effort on the part of the citizens to improve conditions in this respect.

Under the state law all vehicles are required to show lights at night on highways. "There are no exceptions and there should be none. This re quirement for lights has been dii-ct- ed to attention several times, but it W>uld seem that some drivers of buggies and wagons are careless in complying. - The driver of a buggy showing no light was fatally injured in Claren don county. His vehicle was struck from the rear by a motor car. The mo»tor dklver failed to detect the bug gy with his own lamps as a car with bright lights was approaching. His first inkling of the proximity of the buggy vva s when the smash occurred. It is with a sinking feeling that a motor di'iver suddenly. sees a buggy ©r wagon a few yards ahead of him. If no vehicle is approaching he can swerve, but if he must stay on the right side of the highway the chances of a collision are great-. Where the buggy c r wagon is lighted, th e motor driver, exercising ordinary caution, is unlikely to fa 1 to observe the ve hicle. s It is, of course, just as important of them are persons of high char- that motor cars show ruby or amber aeter.

Mr. Herbert Hoove:) as a member c<; the cab net and candidate for the Republican nomination was informed abcut Southern Republicanism. He obtained the support cf mosc of tne Southern delegates*, though, for rea sons satisfactory to Joseph Tolbert and probably understood by at least one of Mr. Hoover’s Southern man agers, rot the delegation riom South Carolina. The trade in federal offices in the South not on'y is well known to the master Republicans in Washington, but is tolerated and tac tly enccor- aged by them. The extortion of tri bute in Cincinnati in the days of Cox, the Republican, or in the days of Tweed, the Democrat, in New York, was never practiced more unblush- ingly than it is practiced in the South by Republican machines now. Now, Coolidge, and Hoover not seem to care. Of couise they cc*u’d put an end to it -in a week if they wished to do so. The Coolidge administration approves corrupt prr.ct ecs in the South, is fully aware of the infamies cf the system, and does nothing. The Southern state Republican ma chines are no cleaner, no better, than they were in 1875, and that the Soith is less troubled by them is due solely to the fact that they have not since 1877 been supported by federal gar risons. Exposures of these conditions have been made time and again) Stevcn- or, By:nes. Dial, Blease and other congressmen have made them, pre senting evidence in detail and abund ance. The people in the village do not know that their postmaster has been compelled to pay for his office, to buy It as he bdught a bedstead or a mule, but the postmaster knows. In Georgia recently this system of : xtortion drove a man to kill him self. The Coolidge administration hears of it—and looks on blandly. If in Soath Carolina be Democrats whj doubt the foregoing statements of The News and Courier deliberately made, they may obtain corroboration of them from Southern members of congress. Do these gentlemen, some of them 'xccllent gentlemen—min sters c«f the Jospel—who are arraying themselves tgairst the Democratic party under stand this Southern Republican sys tem ? Do they know how foul it is ? Engrossed in theii) passionate op position to Governor Smith, are they prepared to support Southern Repub licanism?
