The Manning Times is pretty near
ly right when it says:
"The Legislature has wiped the
sweat from it's brow, taken of its
apron, drawn its pay, closed up shop
and quit doing nothing. The most I'M
portant piece Of legislation was the
pay drawing. We do not think SIN
Gle member can be charged with neg
lect of duty, lodging, straddling or
evading the issue of pay certificates
They all got ther'n.'
We wonder how our legislators
square their consciences by such ac-
ton as the Chesterfield Advertiser
attributes it them. It says:
The legislature adjourned last Sun
day morning at 3:15. It is always a
custom if they don't get through by
- Saturday night, to run the hands
of the. clock back, never allowing
them to reach the IL 'clock mark un-
til they are ready to quit, and in this
instance they were kept run back un-
til after o'clock Sunday morning.
Now this is clearly against the laws
of God and the state, Of which state
they are the lawmakers. Can the
legislature expect the people to obey
the laws when in the making Of them
they. became violators. themselves.
They should have adjourned and
finished up Monday, but you see Sat-
urday was the last day for that So.

ting the situation. Your correspond
