growth OF the various counties de-
ponds largely upon the faithful and
efficient administration of the duties

worthy citizenship should be avail

strongly urge that you consider the
advisability of making the Office of
County Commissioner a salaried and
bonded office. graded by the assessed
valuation of the county, such salary
to be sufficient to secure men of the
highest integrity and ability of YOUR
counties in this position" This mat
ter has been discussed pretty thor
oughly by the press of the State, and
a law covering the points advised by
Governor Brovard would meet with
the hearty approval of the .people.
The Democrat is sorry the Governor
did not include in the above recon-
mendation an increase in the salary
OF members of the Board of Public
instruction. While the responsible
ties are not so great as are those of

responsibilities are great enough,

like to zee the editor Handled in
court if he published anything about
a public official, or a person desiring
10 become a public official, commonly
known as candidate, other than the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth.
AS a general thing the person or
persons who have longing to
kick or handle the newspaper man
in the courts is when the truth is
told. The truth is generally the,Very.
thing a politician does not care to
look him in the face, and it is not
pleasant and profitable to always
speak the plain truth in the columns
of newspaper. Men who have tried
this heretofore have always come to
grief. Only few days ago the editor
of a paper in Indiana grew tired of
being called a liar, and announced
that he would tell the truth in the
future, and the next issue of his
paper contained the. following news
notes:
John BONN, the LATEST merchant
in town made trip to Bellyille yes
terday.
John Coyle, our groceryman. is
doing a poor business. His store. is
dirty and dusty. How can he do
much?

':Married-Miss Sylvan Rhodes
and James Conlin,. last Saturday at
the Baptist parsonage. The bride is
"a very ordinary town girl who doesn't
know any more about cooking than

ed her mother three days in her life.
She is not a beauty by any means,
and has gait like duck. The groom
is an up-to-date loafer> He's been
living off the old folks all his life,
and is not worth shucks. 1t will be
hard life.
The Governor of our great State,
very ordinary man, and who was
elected by accident, was here yester-
day. He has very few friends here
now. He promised some of the voters
of this precinct piece of the pie
in event of his election, but had for
gotten all about it when the time to
hand over the little Office rolled
around"
The paOer had no sooner reached
the public than a committee was sent
to the editor bearing a petition ask
ing him to continue in the good old
way and stating that they believed
him to be truthful, honest man.
AS matter of fact the newspapers
often say some very nice and com
plimentary things about politicians,
and it is not always the truth-that
Is it would be hard to prove it to be
true in court of justice. They some
times say something about a polite
ian that is considered by said polite
ian utterly untrue and without
foundation. Yet it may be true as
gospel. and at the same time impos-
sible to prove the truth in court.
In the opinion of the Democrat the
usefulness of the press should not be
further crippled with laws restrain
ing publicity. The criminal and
civil libel laws of this State are
strict enough, goodness knows, and
the punishment great enough to pre-
vent the newspapers from publishing
untrue and damaging statements if
they so desired, not only against Of
fee holders and candidates, but
against any and all. citizens of the |
State. !

WOMEN MOST ECONOMICAL

The stories of woman's extrava-
gance'' are as ancient and as sense
less as the "mother-in-law" Joke.
There are extravagant women and
there are extravagant men; but the
women are not responsible for the
extravaga2t men, while the men are
responsible for women. Women, as
a class, not being wage-earners, have
not the same reason for appreciating
the value Of money as men. Hus-
bands and fathers, as a rule, are
either very stingy or fail to let their
women folk know their real financial
condition.
In the first case woman naturally
attributes the doing out of money to
her to pure selfishness or lack of re-
gard, and takes natural delight in
extracting and spending all she can;
in the second case she has no reason
to think the man cant afford :t'
or to realize that economy is neces-
sary; in either case 1t is the man,
not the woman, who is to blame.
Every man knows that a woman is
better and closer in making bar
gain than he is. The woman's mind
is constituted to consider trities that
count In economy. The average
woman can get along on less and
snake an appearance" on less than

WHEN BUYING FURNITURE

The safest plan in buying furni-
ture is to keep to simple lines. A
great change has been wrought in
furniture designing in the last few
years, and less elaborate carved
work is to be seen. Furniture
dealers endeaver to offer pieces that
are we'll and substantially made, but
designed on artistic lines, SO that
they will be, in truth, Joy forever.
If the buyer is in doubt about the
enduring qualities of a desired piece
she should seek the advice of the
dealer, who can generally be relied
upon to give competer. assistance.
The housewife who is thinking of
refurnishing her home this season
has already begun her study of the
shop windows, we'll knowing that the
newest goods are put on display as
fast as they arrive. She, gives at
tention not only to the furniture
shops, which have their "spring"
displays as we'll as millinery shops.
but she watches for the newest ideas
in drapery, wall paper, etc. From
the window she often receives an
inspiration that later develops into a
most charming apartment.

Hat bandeaux are very low and
used at the back of the hat only.
They are banked with maline, as
they were last year.
The rise to favor of cloaks and
circular shawl wraps has been rapid.
In light pastel shades of cloth they
are usually found.
Linens are to be more popular than
ever and predictions are that one

FOR AMATEUR
M|LL|NERS

Women who are clever enough to
trim their own hats ought to be in
terested An little invention for

it is being trimmed.

fairs that makes one wonder why 1t
hadn't been thought of long ago, for
1t consists of merely steel rod that
is clamped to table.
arm that may be adjusted at any
angle and attached to the arm is a

sound very new, but is charming at
any rate, and is also expensive, and
this may save 1t from the popularity
that kills.
Belts o. heavy satin finished elas-
tic, with plain and gold buckles,
made in almost all of the modish
hues and are especially good in the
dark blues-colors never attractive
in leather.
Batiste robes, with colored spots
ranging from the size of quarters to
pin points, make very effective
gowns. The spots are largest at the
hem, and are gradually reduced in
size until they near the waist line.
1t is notable that the mushroom
hat is as prominent as end even pret-
tier than last year.
There is no abatement in the use
of braids on spring suits. They are
found on skirts as well as on coats
and Jackets.
Hats are actually to be worn on
the head, not miles above it, and the
elaborate cache-peigne of tulle and
ribbon is no more.
Very large rough straw hats are
often trimmed with a single 1ono
feather wrapped around the crow5
and sweeping down to the shoulder
at the side or back.
The tailored princess gown has
come to stay. 1t is found in rajah
silk, pongee and taffeta, as well as in
cloth. 1t is usually trimmed with
straps of the material stitched or
piped. with the occasional addition
of fancy buttons.
