A MATTER OF ECONOMY.
r. II. AULL, EDITOR.


lawmakers are willing to surrender
pay for public service, the bill
providing for biennial sessions of
the General Assembly will doubt
less prevail. This bill was left
over from the last session. The
joint resolution to submit the mat
ter to the people of the State lack
ed but one vote Of the two-thirds
majority. Friends of the measure.
and these are the people who have
the best interest of South Carolina
at heart, are determined to fight
for it again, and the chances are
more greatly in its favor than ever
before. We have heard so much
about the financial troubles of the
State that the Legislators can hardly
insist on meeting once every year
when the conditions DO not demand
it and when the meeting is bur.
den on the tax payers.
lhc new law would mean the
saving of $4,000 Much OF the
Legislative proceedings has been Of
the farcical sort. We Eavc more
laws than it will ever be possible
to enforce. Trey arc enacted one
year TO be amended or abolished
the next. There are enough stalu-
tcs 20 last almost for Il generation.
and it will help the State more to
have them obcycd than to add
others.
The sentiment Of the people is
with the biennial movement. The
public recognizes the fact that it is
not necessary to have that pyrotech-
mic display in Columbia every Janu-
ary, and when it is remembered
that it will result in such saving
OF money, it will meet the hearty
approval Of every citizen. No good
argument can be advanced for the
annual session. The argument is
all on the other side, and before
they return to the Capital City tie
members should give some thought
TO the subject SO that they may vote
tor the welfare of the common
wealth and not for personal gain. -
Greenvllle News.
That sounds very we'll but will
there be a saving Of $50, 900 year
or any other sum? If Legislative
session cost $4,000 you cannot
make an annual saving of 500
unless you do not have legisla-
tive session at all. We do not
believe there is anything in the
plea of economy and it is not true
that the people who favor biennial
sessions care the people who have
the best interests of South Carolina
at heart,' If it is meant that those
who oppose ii do not have the in
tercst Of the State in mind. We
grant that there are too manv
changes in our laws and that those
on the statute books are not obeved
as well as they might be, but would
BIENNIAL sessions hel to have the
laws obeyed or enforced There
IS no doubt that there is a stropg
sentiment in favor of biennial scs-
sions but it has been created on the
plea OF economy and this is always
a strong card with the dcmagogue
or the politician when he wants to
catch votes. We have heard for
many years of economy and reform
and we nave seen at the same time
our taxes increase and the State
debt grow larger.
1t is good and safe business
rule to have an annual accounting
and this you would not have with
biennial sessions.
We know there is a strong senti-
ment in favor of biennial sessions
but we believe it comes from the
supposition that there will be bio
saving IN expense which yc do

The October "Smart Set .

The October number of The Smart
Set is a veritable mine of brilliant
stories and poems. Moored, by Anna
A. Rogers, is the title of the novelette,
which opens the issue. 1t is a story
full of power and quiet humor, deal
ing with the temptation which comes
to the young wife of a naval officer
while he is abroad and she is .moored"
at home. The tale leaves a remark
ably vivid impression aud will attract
wide attention.
Other features Of this number are
short stories of an intensely interest
ing nature; two essays and several
pretty poems. Variety is distin-
gushing note of October Smart Set.
and no two of it's stories are in any
way alike.

Sour Milk is Life,

According to an interview with Prof
Eli Metchnikoff of the Pasteur institute,
which appears in the October number
of the Pail Mall magazine, the nearest
approach to the elixir of life is sour
milk. Any one desiring to attain a
ripe old age is recommended by the
professor to follow the example of the
Bulgarians, noted for their longevity
and consume large quantities of this
cheap and easily obtained beverage.
s'Sour MILK says M. Metchnikoff
"contains a large bacillus remarkable
for the great quantity Of Tactic acid it
is capable of producing. The microbe
does not exist normally in the human
body, and can be introduced with great
benefit to the health, as it preys upon
the hundreds of thousands of mic
robes which infest the large intes-
tines. 1t has been noted that there is
a great similarity between old age and
disease.
GA study of certain diseases has
proved that there is nc difference be-
tween the mechanism of senile atrophy
and that Of trophy caused by microbe
or poison. In fact. on the approach
of old age, a veritable battle is waged
in the innermost parts of the body
Research is therefore being prosecuted
to discover a means of strengthening
the vital elements Of the body on one
hand and to weaken the aggressive
tendency Of the harmful microbes on
the other
When this end has been attained
the professor hopes to be able to pro-
! long life considerably beyond che pres
ent average.
