CUTTING DOWN TREES
One Source of Annoyance iu
 Widening Streets.

One of the principal tources of trouble encountered by the city gov- ernment in laying out ctreets is the disinclination on the part of peopls to have trees taken from their yards. Nobody wants to lose them, but they come in the way very often. There is no way of saving them if a street is to be worked to grade where town road woman has three trees in front of her house, two soft naples and one of another kind. They come in the street line, just where the walk will be iaid. Tie trees have been growing for the past twenty-two years and are now large enough to afford ST teful shade. The woman does not like to have them cut down and no wonder. They grew up with herself and she regards them in the light of old acquaiDt- ances and does not want to have them removed if they possibly can be saved. If not she will claim i5t for them. Similar conditions exist in all parts of the town, aud in many cases they cause lot of trouble, in some places blocking public improve ments for years. The WatertOwn road folks say there was no need of widening that street. It was not done for the accommodation of the abutting property owners, so they affirm, but for the convenience of owners of autos and bicycles. This might be all right if people who have acquired homes after years of hon. est toll were not obliged to foot the bills and in many instances hustle to get out of the way of the horss- less carriage or take their chances of being killed. In any case Waterbury is losing some beautiful shade trees, and it would seem that. some effort should be made to make amends for what is being done in this way by setting out young trees along the highways in positions were they will not be likely to bother anybody. Wouldn't it be a good plan for the city to plant number offtrees here and there every spring. and in this way the ones that are being taken down would not be missed as much as they are. The only objection one can see to this Is that private cor porations want the sidt walks for poles. After the wires are buried and the poles removed Waterbury may have room for few trees. Meanwhile the city officials should spare as many trees as they can and set out wherever they see a place for it.

Last week we had occasion to go
into the court house, and down stairs
the floor and walls we're a filthy look
ing mess from tobacco juice. 1t is a
shame that people will have no more
regard for decency and their own
building as to squirt tobacco juice
a.! over the floor and make the place
look like a pig pen. What the condi-
ton was upstairs we did not notice,
and in fact we were not looking for
such a mess down stairs, but it was
30 bad it forced our attention. The
custodians of the court house do all
they can to keep it clean, but with
the large crowds here attending
court, they cannot stop the splitting.
Let us all see if we cannot create a
sentiment against such filthy prac-
tice. When you see man spit on
the floor of the court house or other
building, cali his attention to it and
ask him if he will not quit it.

The editorial from the Augusta
Herald in reference to the recent as
sault case in Spartanburg voices our
sentiments so well that we republish
It in another column. We had been
thinking of writing along the same
line before the editorial came to our
attention. The punishment did not
fit the crime in this case, or in any
such case. The only fit punishment
for such a brute is death, but as at
tempted assault is not capital Of
tense in South Carolina, the wrtech
did not get what he deserved. We
trust the legislature will amend the
law and make attempted assault a
hanging crime at it's coming session.
It could do no greater service to the
State, and if they take this action we
will hear less of lynching.

TO EOUALIZE Or FICES.

In it's presentment last week the
grand jury OF this county recommend
ed that the salary of auditor, treas
urer, and county supervisor be placed
on an equal footing. When the treas
urer and auditor were raised from
$500 to s1,OSO a year last February,
this newspaper said: Our legisla-
tive delegation should oppose the
proposition to raise the salaries of
auditors and treasurers so far as it
affects Bamberg. We are not now IN
condition to raise salaries, however
much these officials may deserve bet
ter pay. They have not asked for it
so far as we know, and besides, to
make these salaries $1,000 a year
would be entirely out of proportion to
the amount paid other officials" We
are glad to see that the grand jury,
composed of some of the best busi-
ness men in the county agree with us.
Whether the grand jury meant to
reduce the salary of auditor and
treasurer or increase the salary OF
supervisor, we do not know. but this
newspaper is not advocating a de-
crease in these salaries. We opposed
the raise, but now that it is done, we
have nothing to say. But certain it
is that the Office of supervisor should
command a higher salary than the
auditor and treasurer. We regard
the supervisors Office as the most
important in the county. This official
has to keep a horse and buggy for
travelling around the county, and he
has this additional expense that the
other officers no not have. There
fore he should be paid more,
or at least as much. But the
matter is now between the
grand jury and our representa-
tives. Whether they raise or lower
salaries, we are not advising, but we
can heartily endorse the action OF the
grand jury in saying that the Offices
mentioned should be placed on an
equal footing.

At one time Southern men were
considered chivalrous and brave, but
in this latter day it seems as if that
reputation for the men of this section
is rapidly passing. We know of no
more cowardly practice than that of
carrying concealed weapons, and yet
the habit has become common prac-
tice all over the South. 1t is not too
much to say that at least fifty per
cent. of the male population of South
Carolina carry weapons of some sort,
and this is true of almost every
Southern State. AS result when
two men get into a quarrel, pistols
are drawn and somebody usually gets
hurt. Then, too, the man who does
not carry a weapon is at the mercy of
the thug and bully. There is a
law against carrying concealed weap-
ons in South Carolina, yet nobody OBJ
serves it. All who want to carry pis-
tolls, do so. The concealed weapon
habit is responsible for a great deal
of the lawlessness of this section, and
something should be done to remedy
the evil.

A Good Move.

Jas. A. Hoyt, of the Columbia bu-
reau of the News and Courier, writes
as follows to his paper:
1T is understood that. Senator
Christensen, of Beaufort, who has
done much good work for the State,
is now endeavoring to secure data
on which to base an effort to revise
the tax system and to put into effect
a more businesslike system: Mr..
Christensen has not yet stated just
what line he will work on, but he is
a very thorough business man and a
very careful and unbiased investiga-
tor, and it is not unlikely that he will
have something interesting and valu-
able for the legislators to consider y
We are glad that Senator Chris
tensen is taking up this matter, for
no department of our government
needs regulating more. This news
paper has been harping on revision
of tax methods for years, and we feel
sure that Mr.. Christensen will work
out an improvement over present
methods. He is one of the strongest
men in the Senate, and while the
problem is a complex one, he will
develop a system which will be busi-
ness-like and just. We know Of no
man in the State that we had rather
see take hold of this problem than
Senator Christensen.
