Constitutional Amendments

An important feature of the
coming November election X
found in the appointments To the
constitution, which are to be
voted Tor At that time. The first
Of ,h"S" IL one which the Times
has long adVOcatcd-that Of ac-
ceptIng guaranty or surety COM
panlrS, foreign or domestic, AZ
surety on official bonds. BY this
system the state and county
could feel perfect V sure that the
bonds given by their officials
were valid and collectlble, winch,
unfortunately, has not been the
case III many instances hereto
fore. The second il On amend
ment authorizing the legislature
to clOthe the railroad commission
with judicial power in all matters
to be passed upon 1t. This, too,
is an eminently proper measure,
for since We have the railroad
commission, it should be placed
in position to make It's work
effective. The third provides
that any impeached official shall
be disqualified from holding
office until he is acquitted, and
the appointment by the govern
or of successor I'D interim.
Each and all of these amend
lnentS should receive the hearty
support of the electors at the
November n.-Sumterviile
! Times.

Gypsy Dancing Girls OF Seville.

In the Century Stephen Bonsal writes
of Holy Week in Seville" Mr.. Bon.
sal says: On returning homeward we
enter gypsy garden, where, In bowers
of jasmine and hOneysuckle, the Gadi.
tan dancing girls disport themselves as
they did In the days of the poet Martial.
penthelusa Is as graceful and as lis.
some to-day as when. In the ages gone,
she captured Pompey with her subtle
dance-as when Martial deScanted upon
her beauties and graces in classic
words centuries ago. The hotel-keepers
in Seville are, generally very careful to
introduce their patrons only to gardens
where the Bowdlerized editions of the
dance are performed; but commend to
those who think they can "stt it OUT
the archaic versions which are danced
naturally to-day, as they were in the
days of the Caesars, by light-limbed
enchainers of hearts, and flamenco
girls with brown skins and cheeks that
are soft like the side Of the peach which
Is turned to the rpening sun; and in
their dark, lustrOus eyes you read as
plain as print the story Of the SORROWS
and the joys Of a thousand years of hv.
ing. Now they dance about with the
grace Of houris, the abandon of mae
nads or of nymphs before Actaeon
peeped; and now, when the dance Is
over, the moment of madness past, they
cover their feet with shawls, that you
may not see how dainty they are, and
withdraw sedately and sad from the
merry circle, and sit for hours under
the banana trees, grooming softly some
mournful couplet in the crooked gypsy
tongue.
