is still matter of doubt, and no ap-
pointment is likely to be made soon.
The Office of Inspector of building and
loan associations will be vacant soon.
There are numerous applications for
that Office and for the deputyships.
The Senate confirmed all of the ap-
pointments of the governor last week,
and the appointees are now under COM
nilsson and ready for their Official duties.
There are but few important appoint
ments yet to be made by the governor
to established Offices during the spring,
but several new positions, to be created
by the Legislature, will have to be filed
by appointment early in the summer.

AND APPLICANTS

Applications for appointments by the
governor were so numerous in jan
uary that special table and desk had
to De used to keep the papers in order.
and an appointment clerk was kept
busy fling and listing the applications.
The table has been practically cleared.
There were many applications for ap-
pointments in the State institutions
the penitentiary, asylum and educa-
tional institutions. These have been
turned over to the boards which are to
manage these institutions, as the gov
ernor will not take cognizance of such
applications. He will let the various
boards appoint or employ all persons
needed.
Applications for appointment as fac
tory inspector are still on file. The
applicants are numerous. The term

REPUBLICAN HOME RULE.

The Republican party is committed
to the principal of home rule in govern
ment of the cities and counties as
far as is consistent with the general well
| fare Of the State, but is not committed
to the proposition to allow cities and
counties to make their own laws, to
annul State laws, or to suspend such
State laws as are not acceptable to any
given community, or to any particular
class.
Local option as to whether saloons
shall be licensed or liquors be sold in
any county or city is in line with the
doctrine of home rule, but State pro-
hibition is State matter, seperate and
apart from the applications of the doc
trine of local self-goverment, because
it affects the whole State.
The creation and control of a city
police department may be left to the
municipality, but the powers to be con-
fered on the police of any city, and
the control of the local system, in so
far as it may affect the enforcement of
State laws, is not to be left to the
municipality for obvious reasons.
The State must hold in check any
local tendency to set at naught its
general laws OF to create purely local
standard of morals or civic rule. I'm
bridled liberty of local government is
not contemplated in the doctrine OF
home rule as taught byRepublicans. En-
forcement of law, the maintena nee OF
peace and order, the protection of life
and property, and the development Of
public morals cannot be safely relegated
to separate municipalities within the
State. The state has duties which can
not be entrusted wholly to local au-
thorites.

The BAKERS MILL MEETING.
Some Speeches Made Editor AppelfS
Comments AprOpOS the Occasion.


There was on last Friday, August
16, at Bakers mill, in the extreme
edge of Sandy Grove township, a
mass meeting. The matter discuss
ed was the new county proposition.
j. A. Lesesne, ESQ.,, was Claren-
don's lone representative. kipgstree.
Lake CITY and Olanta were repre-
sented by several speakers. Several
good speeches We're made, and our
friend DR. A H Williams, of Lake
City, we are told, lambasted the
Manning Times editor, but just
would not tell the people how much
money had been raised to build a
court house and Jail. The Doctor
is splendid fellow, man of
highest character, and We would be
delighted to have him a citizen of
Clarendon's county seat. He has
county seat hobby; all of us are
hipped on some subject; our friend
Williams mania is gold and more
gold; to get it, he imagines be must
have county seat where he already
holds large interests, and, therefore,
the past several months he has per-
mitted himself to be the other end
of a comet, commonly called a Starr.
DR. Williams speech at Bakers
mill was so severely eloquent that
We have been unable to find out what
ne did say, other than to make dis
paraging remarks a but The
Times editor, Oh! we'll, almost any
good man who finds himself caught
working in a bad cause will get
pettish, especially when he is
twitted by adversaries. 1t is all right
for Doctor Williams to look around
and jump upon the absent ones; we
can stand it, but all the same we
would urge our friend to move to
Manning where be can gaze upon
one of the prettiest court houses IN
the State.-Manning Times.

ADVERTISER and EDITOR.
Ethics Of Their Relations Viewed by a
Space Buyer.

Edgar L Smith, formerly banker
in Youngstown, o., later manager of
the Boston Traveller and now pro-
prletor of the Hotel Navarro, New
York city, spoke recently through
the columns of the New York Herald
on the ethics of the relations be-
tween the newspaper and the adver-
tiser.
81 don't want the editor to agree
with me-" said Mr. Smith, "when l
advertise my hotel in his paper.
All l ask are results showing that
it pays to use the advertising columns
of his paper.
Tt is cutting of ones nose to
spite ones face for one to stop
successful advertising because the
editor critlcises ones pet hobbies.
Even If 1 were criticised personally
| would continue advertising just
the same so long as it increased my
business. A more absurd PROPOSE
ton was never heard of than ad-
vertisers withdrawing from a news
paper when it happens to disagree
with them. 1t is simply preposter-
Gus for business men, no matter how
wealthy and powerful they may be,
to attempt to suppress editorial senti.
ment or dictate as to the manage
ment through the business depart
ment.
"People are quick to see through
tricks and subterfuges."

AN open LETTER
TO Mr.. STARR.

DEFENSE OF The BUSINESS
MEN OF ROME.
Editor County Record:

Editor CouHiy Record:
Will you allow me space III your
columns to thank voa for Your man
~ defense OF the business men of
Rome: Mr. Starr says that on account
of thz opposition Of certain men at
Rome to the "woo. hat boys going
to Lake City, where goods are sold
so much cheaper. good roads are not
wanted, 50 that cotton may be hauled
to Lake City; but that their desire is
to keep Johnson township bottled
up uuder the control of a few men,
who are afraid that this new county
movement will "uncork things
Now. Mr. Starr makes this indict-
ment against the business men of
Rome and then has the audacitv to
say that he doesn't know whether his
informant was right or not in his
charges. Mr. Editor, We have but
three white men IN the Rome section
that are renters and in justice to
these gentlemen | demand of Mr.
Starr the name of the renter that
gave him his information. Perhaps
it was "nigger" renter that gave
Mr. Starr his information, as it takes
q Yankee to discover a "nigger In
the woodpile.'' Mr. Starr, i'll justice
to yourself, though you be a Yankee,
give me the name of your informant
that you may prove that you haven t
discovered a "nigger in the wood
pile
Mr. Editor, the business men of
Rome are " { Hemingway & Co,
Wilson and DuRant Brothers. AS
you have said there are no better meu
in the county or State than these
gentlemen are; law abiding citizens,
honest men who run their business
on business principles and have the
confidence of all the reliable citizens
in johnson township, Williamsburg
county AMI the State at large. l say,
without fear of contradiction, though
we live away off from the railroad,
l can buy goods as cheap here as any
man car at Lake City or any other
town in the county.
Mr. Editor, the assertion Mr. Starr
has made that the business men of
Rome are trying to ''bottle up john
son township to keep the "wool hat
boys" from Lake City is false; but |
do say that the business men of
Rome aud johnson township have
bottled up johnson township against
MIR Starr and his slanderous tongue.
We as Southerners won't allow
Southe,uerS to insult us, much less
q Yankee.
Now, Mr. Starr, come ont like a
man and give me your informant, as
We have nIgger renters in the Rome
section. and prove you haven't dis
covered "nigger in the woodpile. >

fl..s t.r Pri,sa Ara C..,xte

State Engineer Nicholas has finished
his plans for the new state prison and
his report is now being shaped mp to
present to tho board this week.
1t will be one of the most exhaustive
reports ever made to u board of prison
commissioners and will include the
data gathered back east last spring
when Nicholas and Attorney General
Stoddard visited all the leading prisons.
federal and state. in the country, in
search for ideas for Incorporation into
the new prison for Nevada.
In their Judgment the model prison
in the United States is the one Mt
Riker's Island. in New York Harbor,
on East River. This prison cost a
trife over 5000, 900 and is yet to be
completed.
The new prison for Nevada will be
modelled more nearly after that ut
Riker's Island than any other. The
Nevada prison will contain features
that are needed here and that would
not be put into use back east on account
of the limits of the site OH which it is
located.
The new prison will be built largely
of cement. The walls will be of con-
crute as well Is the roofs. Reinforced
used and will be built to accommodate
800 inmates, absolutely fire proof ant
and of such construction that it will bt
impossible for prisoners to escape from
it. 1t will be bnilt SO that it can he
enlarged as fast as needed with very
little additional cost to the state.
The buildings will be of such size and
architectural shape that they will form
u harmonious part of the landscape and
will, rs far rs appearances 20, be with
out the usual unsightly prison features.
The interior will be so arranged that
graded prisoners may be handled. The
style will be of the so called Mission
architecture.
The State Engineer regards the sec.
ond best prison in the country that at
about 5000, 900.
The board of prison commissioners
will meet this week and go over tn,
plans and reports of the state engineer
and probably decide on the site for til,
new buildings and start n work tina,
has beer needed badly for many years
and will be done in such manner that
necessity shall not arise for additional
large expenditure for n quarter of u
century to come. Carson Appeal.
