LOCAL LEGISLATION.

The Laurens Advertiser makes the
following resolution, introduced in the
last General Assembly, a test for some
timely suggestions on the subject of To-
cal legislation:
"Resolved by the Senate, the House
concurring, that the several county
delegations from the several counties Of
this State in the Senate and House Of
Represent tatives be and they are hereby
severally authorized to inquire into the
financial management of their respec-
tive counties, with the view of ascertain
ing what, if any measure of retrench-
ment and reform can be adopted for
lessening the burdens of taxation upon
the people Of the State"
Our cotemporary does not find fault
with the resolution, end we think the
object of the Senator from Newberry
was not to have any special legislation
- for one county or for two counties, but
to devise some plan ifpossible by which
the county governments in all of the
counties in the State should be made
less burdensome. At the same time
we agreeIfully with the Advertiser that
there has been entirely too much local
legislation on the part of our .law-mak-
ers. We have spoken of this before. Our
cctemporary we'll says: Local legisla-
ton is increasing to an alarming extent.
We have not a law-making power as
was designed. by the projectors of our
system of government. 1t was never
designed that the government Of each
county should be intrusted to the
several delegations. A majority of the
General Assembly should not only give
their assent TO measure, but that
assent should express the independent
and individual approval of the MAORI
ty."
This is all very true, and that seems
to US is the very thing aimed at by the
resolution of Senator Pope. "What is
good for one county, as a rule, is good
for the State, and vice versa"
Then let all the delegations of the va
rious counties in the State investigate
and see what reforms can be made in
the county govern ments and from the
various and varied results Of these in
quiries may be we can get something
good for the whole.
We agree with you fully on the sub
ject of too much local cross roads legis-
latiyn. If these acts were eliminated
from the work of our legislators more
time could be given to the important
work that comes before the Legislature
efecting the interests of the Wholesale
and we would have less hasty legisla-
ton.

The town of Union after trying the
"no license" for eight years has again
adopted the license" and two bar
rooms have been opened, each paying a
license of $500 for the privilege Of sell
ing whiskey.
1t is said that during the time it was
a dry town" you could buy as much
whiskey as you wanted and whenever
YOU wanted it. That seems to be the
experience of nearly all "dry" towns.
They are dry" only in name. 1t will
continue to be so until there is healthy
publicsentiment against whiskey sell
ing and whiskey drinking.

II Is a remarkable fact that nothing
surpasses in modern engineering the
pyramids of Ghizeh, built more than
5000 years ago. II is universally ac-
knowledged by the highest prof essional
authorities in architecture and building
that the masonry Of the pyramids could
not be surpassed in these days, and.
moreover, Is perfect for the purpose for
which they were intended-above all, TO
endure. After the building of pyramids
was once commenced it was the fashion
for about ten centuries TO erect huge,
meaningless, pointed piles Of masonry.
OF the hundreds erected about seventy
have resisted the ravages of ages, and
may still be seen. Many Of those re-
manning contain enormous blocks Of
granite from thirty to fifty feet long,
weighing from 800 to 500 tons, and dis
play the most consummate ingenuity in
their construction.
A more difficult operation than the
mere transportation of immense stones
that of erecting obelisks weighing 400
tons-was performed with precision by
the Egyptians 800 years before the time
of Christ or the ancient method of
raising immense stones nothing is now
known-it is one Of the many lost
arts. The ancient Peruvians had a
method of transporting immense blocks
of stone that would be fortune 10 the
modern engineer did he possess it. The
Romans were also eminent engineers,
and by some authorities are set down as
even exceeding the Egyptians in that di-
rectiOn. Immense stones were used in
constructing the temple Of Baalbec; one
lies ready quarried which is seventy feet
long and fourteen feet square, and weighs
1875 tons!-Chicago Times.
