initiative en- that side Of the Capitol"
As To LOAN Sharks"
Senator Gallinger Is anxious that some
legislation be passed regulating the loan

deeply on this subject and thinks Con-
gress ought not permit a state Of things

stances 20 charge exorbitant rates Of
interest He mentioned cases OF which

We have the High School in Barn
we'll already and by voting for the
High School in the coming election
will be simply saying to the State
that we want more financial help, to
be given out of the State High School
fund.-Barnwell Sentinel.
What is said here is true in about
nine Of ten high schools established
under the act. It is ''simply saying
to the State that we want more fin
ancial help'' from the. appropriation
by the State. "We can run our own
high school but you have approprlat-
ed $4,000 and we want part, and
the school that really need assistance
never get it. The rules and regula-
tions are so made that these schools
can't get aid.
The tendency at present in our edu-
cational system in this State is to
build up the higher institutions of
learning and give the towns and cl-
ties State aid for the establishment
Of high schools. If people who live
in the country want to educate their
children they must send to the city
and the town.

We like the Wav Mr.. Cnanler, De-

We like the way Nh. Cnanler, De
mocratic candidate for governor ot
New York, talks. There is a grea1
deal of hysteria about reform and the
wrongs Of the dear people and al
that sort Of stuff and purity talk ano
the goody good air put on by eandi
dates Of high and low degree wher
they are seeking office.
It is too often the case that it is
done for political purpose and there
is many times little sincerity in the
utterance. In accepting the nomina'
tion Mr.. Chanler is quoted as saying
among other things:
We have had too much excite
ment and hysteria; let US right
wrongs and reform abuses calmly and
without unnecessary noise. 1t IS not
necessary to begin a reformation by
creating a panic; reforms intelligent
1y Instituted should result in flrmer
tone in business and in greater public
confidence in existing conditions.
"There are many ways Of doing the
same thing, and in recommending any
business Investigations the vast army
Of workers whose employment is their
means of livelihood, must be thought
Of as well as the men at the head.'
In an indirect allusion to the con-
troversy over the race track gambling
question, Mr.. Chanler said:
81 am a great believer in not un-
necessarily interfering with the per-
sonal habits, customs and pastimes of
the people; I favor all healthful re-
creations which tend to develop and
strengthen the body or to rest the
minds Of our hard working citizens
and I declare that the line Of rea-
sonable and necessary regulation hav-
ing been reached or even exceeded,
the more we endeavor to restrict per-
sonal liberty the less likely shall we
be to promote in any effective, per-
manent way, the public morals. -
There is too much effort to regulate
the conduct Of individuals by legisla-
tion. You had better Keep an eye on
the whining statesman who tries to
make it appear that he is better than
other people.

County Supervisor Wicker should
do something for the Enoree bridge,
at W'hitmire. If it is impossible to
get there with the chain gang he
should give the contract to some one
to do the work. This is an import
ant trade centre and there is large
section Of our county tributary to
this point that should have attention
the same as other sections. The May
binton people cross this bridge in
going to Whitmire. though it is a
line bridge between Union and New
berry. From Maybinton the best
road and most direct route is to cross
the river at Whitmire. This point,
too, is their natural trade centre.
AS far as possible we should treat
all sections Of the county the same.
The county has no money but no
doubt the newly selected senator and
members Of the house would agree
to provide by necessary legislation
the means to pay for these needed
repairs. It was an extraordinary oc-
casion W hich took away the bridges.
They must be replaced and the soon
er it can be done the better.

We think it was a lady from An
derson who came to Newberry about
the time the fever was hot and the
civic association in Newberry was
alive and delivered a lecture before
the ladies.
We suggest that she be invited to
come to Newberry again. We need a
good old time camp meeting revival.
The civic association needs an
awakening. Better still. the home
