This should be good news to
the newspaper publishers. The
special committee of the house
recommends a reduction of ST to
50 per ton in the duty on news
paper print, the placing Of ground
wood, from which paper is made,
on the free list, and the estab-
lishment of a duty of one-twelfth
cent per pound on mechanically
ground wood pulp. This was the
unanimous report of the entire
committee. Does this mean that
we are to get our print paper
cheaper? It does, if the paper
trust does not take advantage Of
us and keep the price up. If it
does, the government should step
in and have something to say.

It is more than probable that
the present legislature will not
monkey with the primary election
law that is now in vogue. While
there are some irregularities con-
corning the law, it serves the
purpose very well, and really
gives the people an opportunity
to rule. It might be we'll to allow
the law to remain as it does for
two years yet, and then, if a
change is deemed advisable, we
will be in a better condition to re-
ceive it, having given the present
law a good try-out. What we
should guard against, is changing
the law, SO that the bosses can
manipulate the affairs Of state.
There are plenty of political boss
es in the state, just waiting their
opportunity of getting control.
The voters of the state are, as a
rule, intelligent men, great read
ers and clear thinkers, and we
can get along without boss rule,
well enough. Let's be careful
how we change the primary cleo
ton law. 49,

Instead Of this arrangement one

cally upward to reach the tops OF

even the highest of them and
reaching the total height of 500

that the people of the world

The investigating committee is
said to have unearthed some ter
rible things that occurred at the
penitentiary during the reign Of
Warden Boucher. It is said that
much cruelty was practiced by
officers under Boucher. Two diff
ferent prisoners stated thatta ne,
gro was SO badly beaten with the
heavy canes that, to the best Of
their belief, it caused death. Sew
eral prisoners stated that they
had been subjected to the
stretching" punishment by.
Boucher, and that it had been
practiced during his ad ninistra-
ton. The hands Of the prisoners
were handcuffed together and
they were suspended from a hook,
in the wall. One man stated
that he had been leftin that con-
dition for an hour and a half.
One prisoner who went insane
was left in his cell for weeks.
without being cleaned, and the
stencil became unbearable. The
cell was so located that the men
had to eat with the stencil in
their nostrils. One man said he
had been gagged for a day and q
night and produced the gag.
When the hearing begins, officers
will be brot to the stand, it is
said, who will swear that they
had to pay a portion of their pay
checks, from eight to ten per
cent. Also, that on one occasion
an assessment Of ten dollars was
levied upon each Of them to help
defray the expenses Of some in
vestigation which was threat

"The farmer boys of to-day

'.The farmer boys of to-day
have a snap in comparison to we
men when we were boys thirty
or forty years ago. a north
marie farmer said to the editor
Of this paper. "Why my boy,
who is but thirteen years old,
has got in the habit Of attending
the parties and the other day he
wanted to know if he couldn't
have a pair of patent leather
shoes. He had a good pair OF
shoes, but / couldn't refuse him
the pair of patent feathers, as
some of the other lads had them.
It did me good after he had them
on to see him strut around and
show them to his mother. /
couldn't help but think Of the
one pair of cowhide boots that !
got a year, in my youthful days.
Father bot me the biggest boots
that he could get for the money
and they had to last me a year:
of course, Igenerally made out
with them, because l generally
went barefootjn the summer. In
the winter they would get wet
and hard, so l would have to
grease them occasionally with a
saucer of tallow that sat in a
handy place in the cupboard. The
tallow didn't give them q partic::
ularly fine shine, but it softened
up the old boots and made them
feel comfortable on my feet. We
didn't have patent leather shoes
in those days, and ! guess we got
along about as we'll as the boys
do now, only you can't satisfy
the youngsters Of to-day the way
you could u.s." We might have
added a chapter onto the farm
er's story by telling of the way
that we used to save our pennies
with which to buy ed.topped
boots with brass tips.

The newspaper boys are get
ting lots Of attention this session.
One bill has been introduced to
prohibit newspapers from accept
ing advertisements for liquor,
under penalty Of from $50 to
500 fines or from 10 to 80 days
in Jail. Another bill would make
the newspaper mark the words
paid advertisement over or un-
der every ''write-up' Of a candi-
date for Office, so that people
would not be misled. This is
only in reference to paid adver-
tisements. The former bill is a
good one and should be passed.
The latter no newspaper man
who is conducting his paper on
the square will object to, but the
candidates and the politicians
who have been accustomed to
buy not only space but the SEEM
ing endorsement Of newspapers
at the same time with unsigned
articles will probably fight it.
Some of the newspaper men,
when running advertising matter
for a candidate of an opposing
faction or party to their own, in
self-defense ran the word 'ad-
vertisement'' or some similar de-
signation over the matter. The
bin would just broaden the rule
to take in both friends and foes.

Prof. Bolley Of Fargo, who is
generally right on every subject,
IS wrong regarding the bill which
he wishes to see passed. If Prof.
Bolley's pure seed bill passes, the
interchange Of seeds between
neighboring farmers would be
practically eliminated, as nothing
short of the submission Of sam
ples, to expert analysis, could de-
finitely establish the fact of
whether a seed sold was abso-
lutely pure or not, and the plac-
ing Of q label, as demanded, on
the sack or package, asserting its
purity, even when every possible
means had been taken to assure
that purity, might be the peg, to
hang irritating and expensive
litigation, and be the cause Of
much bad feeling between neigh
bors. The farmers do not want
such bill passed, and should
work against it. There have
been known instances where un-
scrupulous seed dealers have
faxed the farmers, but there are
plenty of reliable seed dealers
from whom you can buy the seed,
who will do all in their power to
give you good seeds and give you
instructions about caring for the
same.

JOHN BIAGK ON TRIAL.
Jos. B. Wylie Put on Stand Wednes-
day and Underwent Heavy
Cross Fire.
The State, 30th.

John Black, former director Of the
South Carolina State dispensary. IS
on trial on the charge Of bribery. But
one narrative witness was put on the
stand Yesterday. Joe B. Wylie, who
served on the board with Black. J.
/. Thorpe was put on the stand for
few moments to identify the books
] of record Of the State dispensary.
Wylie's testimony was valuable in
quite a number Of respects in refer
ence 10 this particular case, and it
shows in a general way that the at
torney general, Mr.. Lyon, had IN
view more than the evidence against
Farnum when he allowed Wylie to
"turn States evidence Wylie yes
terdav detailed an agreement between
mmbers of the board and liquor sales
men by which the members Of the
board were to be remunerated for
their arduous labors in securing or
ders for the houses represented by
tie salesman aforesaid. A little fig
uring shows that on the purchases
made in Ma ch. 1906, the "rebates -
or "grafi' at the rates named IN
Wylie's schedule would aggregate
nearly $4,000.
Wyl;e put in evidence a pencil
memorandum he made the nigh: be-
fore the formal purchases. This
showed. according to his testimony,
ti;::at cer;ain houses had members of
the board pulling for orders. and, in
fact, that there was an understanding
that every house was 20 pay commits
sions or graft were to be pro rated.
On his memorandum it appears that
Wylie and Black had numerous
clients. There was the initial "R'
opposite a very few liquor houses
names. but there WAS no testimony to
show what "R" represented.
