What the Testimony Shows.
august Kohn, in News and Courier.]
The legislative investigating COM
mittee has been in session in Spar
tanburg for the past two days and
some very startling disclosures as to
corruption on the part of the Spar
tanburg county board of control
have been brought out. These dis
closures show:
- l. That the positions connected
with the dispensary here were bar
tered and sold for money, borrowed
money or endorsements.
2. That even $50 clerkships were
bartered, and III. II. Cunningham
was paid $50 cash by the chairman
of the county board to withdraw his
application for $50 clerkship.
3. That the then chairman of the
county board of control sold liquor
and travelled from town to town, and
that he sold liquor by telling dispen-
sers he would have them removed by
a frie d on the State board if they
did noI patronize him.
d. That during the session of the
Legislature satchels full of liquor
were taken from the rooms of candi-
dates for membership of the board
by Mr.. Mahaffey, member of the
House.
S. That all dispensers here have
received case upon case of compli-
mentary liquor from houses selling
to the dispensary, and that most
often these complimentary liquors
have been put on the shelf, and the
liquor sold for personal gain, with
out accounting to the State or
county.

The annual report of the superintend-

York shows that the business and re-
sources of the companies generally in
creased in 1904 Bigger assets, bigger
incomes, bigger dividends to policy
holders, more policies in force (nearly
5oooooo). So far, so good. Everybody
knows that in spite of many financial
eccentricities. much cussedness, and
enormous extravaganza and waste or
the part OF the greater concerns, the
life-insurance companies are solvent
and will pay on the nail. That does not
change the fact that the cost of insur-
ance is too high; that the policy-hold-
ers are Systematically MIXED; that sal
aries are absurdly large; that nepotisn
and favoritism abound; that the money
of the policy holders is juggled with

sums are wasted in hunting new busi-

every driver OF carriage. hack buggy,
dray, wagon, cart. or other vehicle, or
person on horseback along the streets
and alleys of said city, is forbidden to
drive or ride faster than four miles per
hour nor shall he ride or drive at such
speed near to person on foot, who IS
moving along a lawful crossing. as to
render the life or limb of the person on
foot in danger.
Sec. 2 Be it further ordained. etc.,
that all drivers and equestrians shall use
their right half of the roadway of the
street or alley along which they are
travelling and shall pass to their right
of vehicles or persons that they meet or
overtake.
Sec 3. BIT it further ordained, etc..
that pedestrians shall have the exclusive
right of way over vehicles and horse
back riders at all street crossings regu7
larly used by persons on foot.
Sec. 4. Be it further ordained, etc,
that all riders and rivers shall turn
that all riders and drivers shall turn

Sec s. Be it further ordained. ETC.,
that any person who shall violate any
OF the provisions of this ordinance shall.

fine. shall be ordered to work out same

old plug can do that A man can walk
that fast
when a horse lopes and lopes, some
arrest ought to be made" said Mr..
Lowentl1al
The vote to pass the ordinance to its
first reading resulted in a tie, S to 5.
Mayor Querbes voted against it.
This ordinance should have received
favorable consideration. Streets are
not race tracks or courses for speeding
horses or vehicles Pedestrians should
be entitled to some degree of safety
without the apprehension of the loss of
life or limb.
