The State Board Of canvassers has
had deadlock in deciding the con-
test in those counties which voted out
the dispensary. The question OF the
constitutionality Of the act was raised
before the board, and Messrs. Jones
and Jennings held that it was without
the province Of the board to pass on
the constitutionality of the act under
which they were assembled. Mr.. Me-
Cown and Mr.. Lyon took position
that the board did have the right to
consider the question. We agree with
the position taken by Mr.. Jones. II
every board or executive officer has a
right to pass on the constltutlonailty
of Acts Of the legislature, we had Just
as well abolish our supreme court.

A WORD PERSONAL.

On account of moving our office,
we have been unable to give atten-
tion to our mailing list, and did not
notify subscribers whose subscription
expired August the first, and, there
fore, we are carrying over few SUBJ
scribers whose subscription has ex-
pired. We make this statement so
that those who have not paid may do
30, and not lose any copy of the pa
per. The mailing list will be revised
between the 1st and 10th of Septem-
Der, and the subscribers WHO do not
attend to their subscriptions by the
10th will be taken from our mailing
LIST.
We hope to send all of them
statement in addition to this notice,
and to say that hereafter the cash
in-advance system will be strictly ad-
hered to.
We are anxious not to part with any
of our subscribers, and we hope that
you will give this matter your I'M
mediate attention if Your subscrip-
ton has expired.

We are inclined to think that Mr..
Blease is mistaken in his article in
reference to the school fund published
in Fridays Herald and News. The
schools, as a rule, have sufficient
amount of money to pay the expenses
and to pay cash as they 60, and the
terms have not been shortened, but IN
many cases they have been heightened
and the salary Of the teacher has
been increased. In several districts
where a special tax has been levied
1t has been taken off. The levy for
school purposes is fixed in the Con-
stitution and as the taxable property
increases the levy remained the same.
Of course, the revenue to the school
has been increased.
AS to the ordinary county fund
and the condition of our county fnan-
ces We are inclined to think that his
statements are correct. The county
has no money with which to pay cur
rent expenses and has exhausted the
money borrowd.
In addition to the levy which he
mentions as having been made by
the last legislature for ordinary
county purposes, there is a levy for
past Indebtedness. and if the bonds
should not be voted for roads there is
an additional levy Of one mill for
roads which will, under the terms of
the act be virtually an increase OF
one mill for ordinary county pur-
poses.
We und erstand that the cpuntH
commissioners have already borrowed
and spent $4,000 in anticipation OF
the proceeds from this one mill which
is only to levied after the bond Is
sue IS defeated.

COUNTY BUYS AN AUTO.
Supervisor T. G. Burnett Will Have
An Auto to Make His Rounds.

The County board of commission
ers have purchased an automobile Tor
the use of the county supervisor IN
making his rounds over the county.
The machine bought was Ford tour
about, sold by John I. Chlpley. This
IS a progressive move made by the
commissioners Of Greenwood and
shows that the officials are alive to
the important matter Of good roads
and means that Greenwood county
shall have good roads.
I am satisfied if the County COM
missioners would buy an automobile
for the supervisor of Newberry there
would be several deaths in Newberry
county from sheer shock. |, there
fore, in the interest of humanity and
the welfare of all the people do most
solemnlv VAIN our county commas-

it. or if YOU do do it please DO 1t
gently and break the news to the pub

And vet YOU must not forget that
Greenwood is one Of the most pro-
gressive counties in this State and
they have pretty good roads, so i

great progress if We could build 300
miles i'll exactly thirty four years and
eight weeks But what : the use?
And then DR.. W. c. Brown takes
whack at that "siren song' that
these good roads people are singing.
And not only that but listen-''where
the grey squirrels leaped from bough
to bough, and the enchanting tunes
of thousands of birds were sung in
perfect happiness''- all this prom
ised by these bond people-"a lovely
home with fields ever green, with
grasses and legumes in the summer
and clover and grains in the winter,
and where the bee can gather the
pollen from multifarious plants, and
the horse, COW and hog roam through
splendid meadows" and so on, so
forth. Well it is fine. It is beauti-
full. How he can draw such picture
and then take old dry "fgers'' and
prove conclusively that We can't get
the picture he paints. It is too bad.
But what s the use.
DR.. Brown, I am told,. is a pro-
gressive citizen and good farmer
and how he can draw such gloomy
pictures with old "fgers' and then
paint the rainbow like he does is be-
yond my comprehension and [ don't
intend to wear out my little brain
in an effort to reconcile such antlpo-
des and inconsistencies.
Somebody sent me clipping from
the New York World. Read it. 1t is
lust like I have been telling YOU for
some time. They are going to regulate
US by law and statute and If that fails
then there's the injunction. 1t seems
10 me that this is what they do now
and then in this State-trial by in
iunction-even if the Constitution
does warrant and guarantee trial by
jury. What matters an old constltu-
.tion when it stands in the Yay of
progress or in the way Of some am
! bitious fellow citizen. Constitution,

tion. Here is the clipping:

father, so he knows something about
babies, but the one next door to him.
he says, has the best noise-makng
apparatus he ever heard. Crater works
at night at the South street station
of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

child s mother call out every once IN
while: John, is it II o'clock?
Then, John, is it 2 o'clock?' Those
are the baby's feeding hours,' said
Crater.

of babies. He said he could not take
complaint and advised him to get
an injunction.

PANAMA DEFENSES PLANNED
Army and Navy Board Gets Busy on
Fertilization of Canal Property.
BIG GUNS WILL GUARD ENTRANCE
Assurance Given That ships May Pass
Through Canal Channel In 1s15-
President Taft May Go 20
Isthmus in December.

WASHINGTON. oct. 1S-The important
work Of constructing Notifications for the
entrances to the Panama canal will be
given careful consideration by a Joint army
and navy board during the coming winter.
This b3ard, the personnel OF which has
been partly completed, will visit the 18TH
mus and go over the entire ground in a
thorough and systematic manner, making
the investigation OF conditions there COM
plete, so that congress may be prepared
to act intelflgently as soon as 1t is decided
that the work of terrifying shall begin.
Colonel Cocktails, the chairman and chief
engineer OF the canal system, has promised
that the canal will be ready to be opened
by January, 1915, and the president and
his cabinet feel that the work OF placing
that waterway In an impregnable posi-
tion should be finished or at least well
under way by the time the canal is ready
for practical uses.
The board will consist Of Brigadier Gen
eral william L. Marsh, chief of engineers;
Brigadier General william Crozier, chief
Of ordinance; Brigadier General Arthur
Murray, chief Of coast artillery; BriRadier
General W. w witherspoon, assistant
chief Of staff, two naval officers yet to
be selected and possibly others.
The board In 1910 recommended the In
stallation at the entrances of eight twelve
inch guns, eleven three-inch guns, and
thirty-two twelve-inch mortars with the
necessary accessories.
The Isthmus of Panama promises to be
the objective point of a number OF inn
portant officials Of the government this
winter. II their present expectations are
carried out. President Taft, while at San
Francisco recently, expressed the hope that
he would be able to go to the isthmus in
December. Secretary Dickinson has also
indicated his desire to see the great water
way under construction, his plan when
last speaking on the subject being also to
go in December, when the appropriations
lcommittee of the house is scheduled to sail
from New York early in November.
The commission's estimate for 1911
amounting to s4S,O 900, 900 will be in the COM
mittee's hands by that time.
