LA LAWMAKERS, GREAT AND
SMALL.
SMALL.

1t IS quite plain that the country at
large docs not relish the idea Of il
Cmtcd States senator or member of
congress being Il paid attorney Of cor
poratlons that may be affected bv
federal legislation.
The wholesale condemnation Of
Senator Foraker because OF his con-
nection with the Standard Oil COM
Pany is the most recent proof Of this
sentiment.
Here in South Carolina it is not u,.-
common for members Of the State
legislature to be paid attorneys Of
railroads, telegraph companies, banks,
cotton mills, fertilizer factories, etc.
all Of which are more or less af-
tcctcd by State legislation
IT is not only moi uncommon, but
IT IS not regarded as improper. Moth
in" IS thought Of il ai all.
There is no adverse criticism when
\ man occupies the dual position of Il
member Of the cgislaturc--clcctcd bv
the people, TO look after the peoples :
'ntcrcsl--and attorney for corpora
tionS that will be affected by what
ever the legislature does.
Have the people Of the country at
large higher standard of ethics, as
regards lawmakers, than the people
Of South Carolina?
Or have The people Of South Car
ollna more confidence in the members
Of the State legislature than the pco-
pie of the country at large have in
The members Of the federal congress? (?
Or is the matter "orth Worrying
ahout!-Andcrson Mail.
Carried to its last ANALYSIS this
argument would bar everybody out Of
the legislature except The man who
had II" business nj all and then he
might he charged with lcanin" in
sav"r "f the leisure class.

lawyers, and lnc editors their pro

We Il" believe. however, that the
constitution should be obcycd by

even admittin" that. there might still
be room for complaint that the school
IS not what it should be. What we
n"rd, however, is for everybody in the
community to gel together to make
IT what it should be and if changes
are necessary to accomplish that end
|" INSIST on those changes being made.
We do not know much about the
Sri'""l or our own knowledge, and
have made it rule when we had
children in The school 10 require that
they should obey The rules Of the
school. and have always insisted that
the children should obey the rules and
regulations of the teacher. We know
from experience that the teacher has
Il pretty hard lot at best.
In regard to Mr. Wickcr's statement
about an answer to his former COM
munIcation in regard to the action of
the legislature, we desire to say that
our recollection is that he did receive
an answer to his questions which an
Swcr was directed to Mr.. Otto Klct
tncr, member of the board and see
rotary Of the board from Senator
''Ic'Sr, and that answer was publish
rd in The Herald and News.
TN" town needs more room and new
buildings and moro money in order
10 pay better salaries 10 the fcachcrs.
and then the very best talent in that
line of work should be secured; but
as we have said We need to give hear
iy support and encouragement to
those who arc i'm charge Of the school.
and who are conscicntiously laborinc
TO give the very best service in their
power.

On Tuesday The Herald and News
received through the mail the article
OF Mr. j. II. Wicker in reply to "Pat-
ron, which was printed in the Oh

therefore. we returned il 10 Mr..

his article to be printed in both pa-

II would scarcely be fair to "pal

without printing his article. and,
therefore. we copy "Pairon s" arti-

Don- az hey, of Conway, candidate for Governor, addressed the voters in the interest of their candidacy MT. Hogue spoke first, and for one and half hours entertained his hearers with his views on national topics. He was given close atten- ton. His opponent Hon. Joe T. Robinson was not present.
 Mir. Donaghey was next intro- duced, by Judge Wells, and for nearly hours the candidate for Governor skinned his opponents, and detailed the measuers he favors MT. Donaghey delivered one of the most powerful and logical political speeches ever heard in this county. The speach was loudly applauded at intervals, and at its ,conclusion many men rushed up to the speaker and grasped him by the hand and wished him success ia his race for Governor. If demonstrtion counts for anything. Geo. W. Donaghey is going to get some votes in Drew county.
