The 'POSSum Dog.

news.
''Dr. Il. j, Kinard and Mr.. j. G. Kin
ard have recently lost over 800 worth
of fine sh ep, killed by dogs. A fine
buck weighing 225 pounds, received a
few days ago from Pennsylvania, was
among the slain"
BY way of comm Mt the Editor pro-

Notirg the above interesting item,
u Ninety-SiX correspondent peril
nent'y inquiries: Cant our legislature
legislate the worthless ours out of the
country" Yes, the Legislature can do
this, n a great many other things it
ought to have done twenty-five years
ago. The n great drawback to pro-
gress in South Carolina has been the
Legislature. AT every session some
wide-awake member introduces a bill
protecting the sheep against the dogs,
but weakened politicians, relying
upon mushy and sickly sentiment for
their own re. election have defeated the
measure
The subject being vital we concluded

Special Legislation,

Section 81 Of tbs Constitution of this
State provides: "The General Assem-
bly, OF this State shall not enact local
or special laws concerning any Of the
following subjects or for any of the
following purposes, to wit:
TO fix the amount or manner of com
pensation to be paid to any county Of
ficer except that the laws may be so
made as to grade the compensation in
proportion to the population and ne
cessary service required" In the
teeth of this and other provisions the
Legislature enacted laws making the
compensation OF the different counties
to vary, as In many counties providing
the Sherif's L DIEM for dieting pri-
soners at 20 cents--in others at 80 cts.
In Spartanbrrg and other counties the
per diem was reduced and Sheriff Dean
appalled, a case to the Supreme Court
and that Court knocked the Act OF the
Legislature into flinders rs uncon.
stitutional. The effect Is far reaching
and necessitates much legislation. An
Act was passed reducing the per diem
in Laurens from 20 to 80 cents and also
affecting the Clerk. The result -,ni
probably be that the county must pay
several hundred dch@n5 to eX-Sheriff
McCravy orA possibly settlements with
Clerk Rolt must be recast.
T.. IS q little curlOds that the Legis-
lature so Numbered, as many OF them
participated in making the constitu-
tion. But the wisest are not wise at
all times. The constitution should be
amended as the Legislation is sound.
1T Is impracticable to make laws to fit
Orangeburg, a great and wealthy
county and Chesterfield small and
weak.
Cadet Booz is alleged to have died
from hazing at the National Military
School. West Point. West Point Acad-
envy might be made a Military Depart
ment, and q Brigade, with Artillery
