The argument for and against the
county-to.county State campaign still
goes on. It is not likely that the op-
position to the system will amount to
anything. but that the State Conven-
tion. next week will continue the same
old plan.
However, as we have said all along,
we can not see the use in holding a
campaign meeting in each county OF
the State. In fact, we can see no use
in candidates for secretary of State, at
torney general, comptroller general,
treasurer, and such like offices, going
into the campaign at all. Their duties
are purely ministerial, and it matters
not to the people what may be their
views on any issue, SO that they are
honorable white men and capable OF
discharging the duties of their Office
. The best plan, it seems to US, and the
one which we have before suggested, is

central point in each congressional
district and consume one, two or three
days time, if necessary, giving each
candidate chance to present his mer-
its and his views fully. Under the
plan which has been in force only a
yerv few minutes are allowed to each
sneaker and that short time is usually
taken up in showing what he considers
the dement's of his opponents. Much of
this personal abuse would be done
away with by cutting down the num-
ber of meetings and giving to each
speaker more time.
But if we are to have a campaign
meeting in each county, then the plan
oftwo campaign PARTIES, suggested by
Senator Tillman at Manning, is the
best solution. It is true, that ''the
Limitation on the time of the candi-
dates for the important Offices, if it be
continued, will absolutely destroy all
interest in the meetings, and finally

The Governor has decided on the
three acts passed by the last legisla-
ture and which he has been holding up
since the adjournment. One was to
define the relations between connect
ing lines Of common carriers. After
hearing the arguments of those who
favored the act and those who opposed
it the governor decided to approve it..
The main argument presented against
the act was that it was unconstitu-
tional. The act was submitted to the
attorney general aud he gave an opin-
ion which might be construed on the
side of the constitutionality of the
act and which might be construed
as an effort to evade the issue. The
other two were an act to abolish
the Office of phosphate inspector
and to devolve the duties of that Office
on the county auditors and joint
resolution to write off the books Of the
treasurer the Blue Ridge bonds owned
by the old State bank. Both of these
the governor will veto.

have been saved by carrying Bibles in

Just over the heart. but always lodges
somewhere between Genesis and Reyel-

There was one soldier in the Philip
pines whose life was saved by poker

spades. and another curlosly enough
owes his present existence TO a plug Of
tobacco. The latter was a sergeant Of
the Fortleth infantry. II was at the
OF San Miguel. The soldiers were
attacked by Filipinos with bolos, and
this sergeant received terrible pillow

plug OF tobacco inside his hat. The
bolo cut clean through the plug and
