on that case, for, although my
sympathies were with the accused |
felt that under oath | would nave
to convict them. This feeling grew
stronger and stronger all through
the, trial and after the testlmoEs; of
one of the defendants, it amounted
to = certainty. But when the Judge
told us that if ne believed the
provocation to Mr.. Bratton was
great enough to render him tenn

Desirable Legislation.
Practical Suggestions to he Gen.
eral Assembly of South
Carolina.
To the Editor of The State

lnele are some matters on
which favorable action by the
coming Legislature would do great
good to tho State. First, tho or,
dsrinS of tho sale of tho plant-
ing lands OF the State except
enough on which to raise provis-
ions for the penitentiary with the
work of the life convicts and of
the youthful criminals on re-
formstOry farm. For the State
to plant or engage in any business
is dangerous and it is wrong to
use cotton in competition with it's
own citizens. All the other con-,
vlcts should be used in making
good roads throughout the State,
and thereby add millions to the
taxable property in the State.
Forty five years ago the writer
urged, In newspaper articles, the
Importance of good roads. Fortu
nate y now all the bicycIe riders
and some of the land owners who.
Of all others, are most interested,
have fallen into line in opposition
to bad roads which impoverish a
country As much Us war or famine
Convicts might also be used to
drain swamp lands and clean out
water courses as provided for in
the constitutional amendmen,
recently adopted by popular vote.
The next proposition is to for
bid employment in factories of
children under ~ years of age
and of all under IL years who
cannot read and write. Such y
law would DO of advantage to the
operatives in point of health and
morals, would raise them in the
scale OF citizenship and would be
benefit to factories in ensurine
to thsm moro reliable labor.
The third proposition Is to re
quire all owners of female dog.
to have on them substantial collar.
for which $40 each must be paic
to the county treasurer annually
1t would be made q misdemeanol
for any ono to own or keep ,
bitch without license collar. Il
should he made the duty of al
county and town officials to caus,
to be killed all collarless bitches
over six months old running a
large, and they should he author
izsd to receive from the count,
one dollar for each bitch thu,
killed.
This would in a short tim,
cause great reduction in tn,
number OF worthless dogs, thereb,
encouraging the raising Of muttor
and wool and poultry, would pro
tect the eggs of partridges, wilc
turkeys and other ground laying
birds which feed on insects tha
prey upon crops. Lastly it woulc
save the lives of tho people an,
domestic animals that yearly die
from the bite of mad dogs anC
would put II stop to the panic,
that so often rabid dogs excite in
the COuRtry.
1t is hoped that the coming
general assembly will rise above
petty considerations of self and
enact laws that will certainly ad,
vance the happiness, prosperity
and safety of the people of the
State. G II McMaster.

cit is not n decent Republican
party that is needed in this State,
but a decent Democratic party, ,
whose chief e1ponents and rep.
resentatives will not cavort and
cuss all over several States and
make votes every day for the
party Of Mark Hanna" says the
Carolina Spartan. "Some of our
people would like to Join an anti
machine, anti-primary, anti-mud
singing campaign party, that will
keep decent at homo and abroad,
in private life and in official posi-.
tions and reflect honor on tho
S tate at aIl times. That is what
some old fashioned Democrats
want, kind contemporary"
Granted, but may not "dscent
Republican party' be the means
Of making the Democratic party
decent As long as The latter is
"bosSed" and its cardinal doctrine
is the selling of liquor it cannot
he "decent," but this condition
will prevail only when there is no
effective opposition. Hence we
think the coming of "decent
Republican party" is not likely to
injure the Democratic organizes
