We do not know Mr.. Ian
nam's purpose in desiring the
repeal of the law which requires
beneficiary cadets to teach IN
the free public school two years

philanthropic schemes sin the
interest of suffering humanity" +"
The reports do not show what
he proposes shall be done with
the young men he wishes re-
leased from a very reasonable
requirement after the taxpayers
have so benevolently nurtured,
and educated them, and we can
not conceive of any argument
Mr.. Lanham can advance to show
that South Carolina is eSactlng
too much from those of her sons
she has spent large sums OF
money upon to fit for life. 10

ino)v 1ioht. when compare
ed With four years of maintain
ance and education given them
by the people of the State. The
voung man who does not freely
give this mere pittance in return
for what he received, does not
appreciate the meaning Of graft
tude, and it matters not how
brilliant he may be, the State
cannot regard him with pride,
because in him she turned out OF
her institution one whose ingrat-
itude brings the blush Of shame
to the cheeks of all her true
sons, whenever and wherever
his name is mentioned in their
presence.
We do not believe Mr.. Lanham
will succeed in getting this stat
ute repealed, because it will not
appeal to the good Judgment OF
the legislators, but we do wish
that in the efforts Of our Repre-
sentative to feed the legislative
mill he could conceive of some
GOOD material which will grind
out material for the public bene-
fit, and thereby aid in the gener-
al welfare. This cannot be done
by legislation in the interest of a
;'Travelers Protective Union" or
an ''Electric Street Car Moter-
mans Union, ''nor will his states
mansh;p starillumine the horizon
with legislation to make an ave-
nue. for beneficiary graduates to
escape from carrying out the
meaning and intent Of the people
in submitting to tax to educate
sons of South Carolina who are
unable to educate themselves,
that our children may get some
of the fruits of their benevolence
bv dissemination of knowledge.
If these beneficiary cadets are
not to give the people back some
return, in the way of service IN
the public schools, there would
be no benefit to the people IN ed
ucating them, and the beneficiary
system might as well be abolish.
ed; when the beneficiary adjunct
lis abolished, the institution is
bound to crumble and fall. In
our opinion, there could be nc
greater calamity to the citadel,
than in repeating the clause
which requires beneficiary cadets
to teach in our public schools fo1
two years, but great good can be
accomplished in enforcing the
present law strictly.

Mans Essay on Pope.

From Armstrong; Teaching Of Sci
entifc Method we extract the follow
ing: "If the proper study Of man (sic)
be man-as the highest dignitary OF
our church some time ago ASSERTED" ,"
etc. This is not simply due to a natu-
raj confusion between 4. Pope and the
pope. 1t comes Of a poets having two
Christian names, including one for his
surname, so that the student Of the
Dictionary of Familiar Quotations" is
apt to be betrayed by the description OF
him as Pope, AleXander.-Punch.

THEy WANT MORE JUDGES.

by uO auSdIlS ID ~ SOA oe'hA oAAeoo
the increase e-circuit scheme is
dead, the House killed the con-
glomeration of bills it had, be-
cause one lawyer would not &C
knowledge the superior ability
of the other, but ali of them are
very solicitous about the docket
congestion, and are anxious
to have their purpose accom-
plished. In the Senate there is
another ten-circuit bill, and if it
passes that body, the lawyers in
the House viii accept it with
eiee, not so much because it
represents their views, but
because it was not conceived
by a House member. A careful
following Of the speeches on
the ten-circuit bill has devel-
oped a significant fact,-there
is considerable material for
Judges and solicitors in the
suggested new circuits, material
that was not discovered IN the
ANNALS of the supreme or cir
cult courts, and had it not been
for the legislature: this great
talent would have remained hid
den in the dockets of the cross
road magistrates, or the dockets
Of the sessions where it will be
found that the regular judges
recognized this talent to the ex-
tent Of appointing to defend cases
where prisoners were without
funds to>employ a lawyer:
These lawyers say our dockets
are congested, and yet none OF
them have confessed that for a
few paltry dollars they have
taken advantage of the law, had
cases continued, often upon false
afdavits, and this condition is
largely responsible for the con,
gested dockets. In our opinion
many of these lawyers are
not as anxious to relieve
the docket-congestion to. IA
cilitase business, and thereby
help the taxpayers, as they are
to gcaelfy their political tape,
worms. and have a job to aid
themselves at the expense of the
taxpayers.
We do not need any more cir
cults or judges, we have plenty
of both, but we do think if these
same lawyers who profess to
want to save the taxpayers will
make a law that will wipe from
the docket all cases which have
been there three terms at cost of
the plaintiffs, the congestion will
be relieved. Then if they will
give one magistrate in each
county, say the one at the county
seat, an increase of jurisdiction,
empower him to try criminal
cases where the penalty is one
year on chaingang or $500 fine,
and civil issues where the
amount is less than $500; this
will also relieve congestion, be-
cause it is the small criminal
cases that fill up the docket-hog
stealing, petit larceny, etc.: and
in a majority of instances the
prisoners come into court with
jailors' counseled plea guilty
and beg de mercy oh de cot. "
We give layman's view of
what is the trouble that causes
congested dockets, and the mo-
tive actuating many legislators,
and the remedy for the condi-
ton.

The Death Penalty.

A little thing sometimes results in
death. Thus mere scratch, insigni6-
cact cuts or puny boils have paid the
death penalty. It's wise to have Buck
lens Arnioa Salve ever handy. It's the
best Salve on earth and will prevent
fatality, when burns, sores, ulcers and
piles threaten. Only 25c, at The r. B.
