Death of Congressman Cushman.

The death of Francis W. Cushman,
one of our congressman, at ROOSe-
Welt hospital, New York, on the
9Th inst. after short attack of
pneumonia. is an event that involves
a national as well as a State loss.
Our State has been exceedingly for
tunate in the selection of her repre-
Sentatives in the popular branch of
our national Legislature. Mr.. Cush-
man was worthy successor of James
Hamilton Lewis in not only being
able to hold his own amid the bright
men who gravitate to the national
capitol under the law of survival Of
the tittest.' but to engage in the ag-
gressive warfare that is sometimes
necessary in the adjustment of great
and conflicting interests of leading
nation. Mr.. Cushman was a leader,
who commanded the respect of all,
and in whose death all parties feel a
common loss.
The consideration of a successor.
so great is the greed and rapacity
for Office among the host of reserve
candidates in the party in power,
that already candidates, great and
small, have their rods in position to
catch the political lightning. Brave
indeed is the man who aspires to sue
coed Lewis and a Cushman in the
Congress of the United States.
There may be many men qualified for
legislation. but extremely few who
can understand and bring a knOwl-
edge of the complex matters of
craftsmanship into the service that
swayS the destinics of government.
Whatever be the means available
, to select a successor, it is hoped that
the powers that be- will invoke
their best endcavor to find man
who may maintain the high standard
we have enjoyed in the national
cOunselS.
EVERY party furnishing materials
or supplies to be used in the con-
struction, alteration or repair OF
any building, or Improvements upon
and about real estate, will do well to
read carefully Chapter 40 OF the Law
of 1909. This law is of doubtful ex-
pcdicncy and was carelessly drawn.
1t provides if any material or sup
plies of the above character shall be
furnished to a contractor, duplicate
statement thereof shall be delivered
to the owner or reputed owner. per-
sonally or by mail. No provision is
made for notification to the owner in
case he may be known and his post
Office address shall be unknown
This enactment contains the follow
ing queer provision: And no ma
terialmen's lien shall be filed or en-
forced unless the provisions of this
act have been complied with. The
law makes no requirement that the
party filing the lien notice shall fur
nish to the County Aditor competent
proof that he has delivered the re-
quisite duplicate statement to the
owner Now the question arises
with regard to the duties of the
Auditor under this chapter; must he
know at his peril that the duplicate
statement has been delivered before
filing and recording and notice oflien?
This act has been the subject of
much adverse criticism among man
ufacturers of and dealers in building
materials over the State within the
short time it has been in force

RECENTLY it was noted that Mark
Pack, of Greens county, n. c., had
an award of three fine sons presented
him by his wife. Some people might
think this Tas too much OF a good
thing to be blessing, but it seems
the father was wise enough to turn
the matter to a prospective benefit in
the long run. Being u staunch
Democrat. he named his offspring
William, Jennings, Bryan, giving
one to each of his ancestry. Now it
stands to reason. from the present
political trend, that Mr.. Bryan. if he
becomes President in 1912, must of
necessity reward the possessor of
such an abiding faith in survival of
the tittcst and vindication of right.

CORsETs AS A LIFE PRESERvER.-
Roger Mullan, of Ballard, a painter
employed at the A.-Y.-P. EXPOSE
ton, is said to owe his life to the use
of corsets. Some time ago he fell
from a scaffold and was badly in
jured. His spinal cord was affected,
and he was helpless when he recov-
cred from the shock. At the request
of his wife specialist was consulted,
and it was found that his back was
too weak to support his body, and he
prescribed, as an aid, the use of cor
sets. His wife aided him in the Sc
lection of a straight-front article,
which was taken as a model from
which a pair of leather-steel-bone
cOrsets were manufactured to order.
The result was eminently satisfactory,
and Mullan is again at work.

SHALL THE MIsFITs LIvE?-Con-
siderable discussion is now going on
among Paris medical men, with DR..
Bosredon, taking a decided affirma-
tive position, that deformed or men,
tally deficient offspring should be
put to death at birth. rather than to
afflict society and themselves with a
helpless and miserable life. He cx-
tends his deductions still farther.
He was in a railroad wreck, and
found a victim who was pinioned be-
tween immense timbers surrounded
by flames and screaming with pain.
There was no possible way of saving
his life and was being slowly burned
to death. He besought the doctor
to put an end to his life. The latter
considered it his duty to comply
with the request, but gencldrme re.
fused to lend him his revolver and
the victim was slowly burned to
death in the presence of agOnized but
helpless spectators.

Solicitor Robert A. Cooper OF TIE
Eighth judicial circuit has completed
his annual report and filed it with
the attorney general This completes
a term of almost four years for Mr..
Cooper. he having been elected I'M
mediately upon the formation Of the
new circuit. At the time Of ms elee-
ton Mr.. Cooper was the youngest
solicitor in the State. His rec"rd Is
among the best Of them all, and TO-
day there is not an ADLER prosecuting
attorney in the entire round Of clr-
cults.
From the 1908 report submitted by
Solicitor Cooper is CLEANED the fact
that he has tried 244 cases. which re-
suited in 153 convictions, 81 not gull
ty and 81 no bills and discontinued.
Of this number 48 were tried for
murder, with 10 convictions Of muir
der, 90 convictions Of manslaughter,
II not guilty, and seven no bills and
discontinued. There we're tried 81
cases of assault and battery, with 2S
convictions. five not guilty, and l8 no
bills and discontinued.
Bv counties the apportionment, is
as follows:
Abbeville-9 murder cases: = con-
victions and 5 not guilty.
Laurens-16 murder cases: II
found guilty and 3 not guilty.
Greenwood-5 murder cases; 3
guilty and 2 not guilty.
Newberrv-19 murder cases; IS
convicted and l acouitted.
The percentage Of convictions are:
Abbeville So. Greenwood 81. Laurens
80 and Newberry IS. In Abbevllle
county there we're five cases of viola
ton of the dispensary law. with one
found guilty. and four no bills and
discontinued: Greenwood county, Is
cases, with Is convictions: Laurens
county, five eases with two guilty and
one not guilty; Newberrv county had
seven cases with two convictions, two
discontinued and one mistrial.
The above figures are an excellent
showing for the fine work Of the able
solicitor. of whom the city and coun-
ty of Laurens are proud.
