Trading STAMPS


A Massachusetts statute provides a pen
atty for selling property upon the induce
ment that something other than what is
specifically stated TO be the subject of the
sale is also TO be delivered. The Supreme
Judicial Court Of Massachusetts has held
that this Will not warrant a conviction
where the defendant gave stamps TO the
purchaser emitting the holder to receive
other articles at the store OF another mer-
chant. The statute above referred TO has
been construed to refer only 10 the offer OF
bargains that appeal 10 the gambling in
stinct and induce people TO buy what they
do not want by the promise of a gift or a
prize. the nature of which is not known at
the time OF making the purchase. [6O North

Prejudice of Judge
a change of venue was asked for i'm Kan
sas on account OF the prejudice OF the Judge
against the defendant. because the latter
was himself prejudiced in feeling towards
the Judge and had violently opposed him in
a political campaign, and had published
libelous newspaper articles calculated TO
arouse in the judge feelings or resentment
and prejudice. The attack was renewed
after the election. i'm which the judge was
successful. and was one or the factors in
a subsequent contest in the State Senate.

court that a motion was properly denied

legislative Sins.

It is amusing to note the righteous indigna-
ton OF some of the newspapers at Legislative
sins, namely: the vote on the freepass law
the failure to re-district the State; the failure
to enact q law forbidding needy children TO
work in cotton mills.
One brother nearly goes into spasms about
free passes-a matter too insignificant to re-
ceive moments attention.
The Congressional districts OF the State are
Just as they have been for years. We see no
particular necessity for change at this par
ticular instant, though 1t might be we'll to
make new lines. If 1t was proper TO enact
the existing law, there certainly is no scandal
in allowing 1t to stand, and there Is no public
demand for arranging the districts 80 as to
give Columbia, Spartanburg and GreenVille
separate representative each.
The Legislature showed its good sense In
not interfering with the children OF poor peo-
pie. While 1t may be true that the cotton
mill industry needs some check in this State.
vet 1t cannot be denied that parents are the
proper custodians Of their own children. To
take charge Of poor children and to regulate
their childish sports or their more serious
work Of earning bread, would be paternal
ism indeed.
Upon the whole, the Press and Banner is'
inclined to think the last Legislature was q
very good one. The greatest mistake, from
our standpoint, was the voting away OF SoO,oOe
for the Indian Show, our share OF which was
probably s1,25O. The people Of this county
are Ill able to pay so lare bonus TO Charles
ton enterprise.

The moss backs which have been and are
standing in the way Of progress may find that
attacks on McLsurin will react. and be bar

The people may recognize the recent effort
of members Of the Legislature to abridge the

children as an attack on McLaurin. But
whether they do or do not, they Will
likely stand to him in such numbers as TO
make 1t exceedingly interesting to the man
who tries to beat McLaurin back to a seat In

Mr. Tillman is attempting too mnch when
he intercedes with the Legislature to pass
condemnatory resolutions OF his colleague.

much less overt act than that, and the people
resented 1t. 1t may be that this is 30 COM
