EXCESSIVE APPROPRIATIONS.
Check Should Be Put Oh Those Whe
Loot Public Crib,

We publish today clipping from
the Evening Record in which Sena'
tor Mauldin of Greenville expresses
himself on the finances of the State,
appropriations, assessments, etc.
Ir our opinion this is the most
sensible thing that we have seen in
many a day. We have been more
than disgusted over the vaporings of
MISUNDERSTANDING property at
its full value, and all this pull and
tug at the people by certain gentle
men who seem to feel that thev know
it all.
Senator Mauldin is right. 1t is
not higher returns of property that
is needed, but equalization, and some
way TO keep down these eternally in
creasing appropriations. If some
people in this country had their way
they would confscate the property
of our people and squander it in ap-
preparations.
There is certainly needed a check
to be placed upon both those who
are forever sticking their hands into
the public CRIB and the PARTIES used
them for opening its door. What do
they care about hign taxes? The
more the taxes are increased the lar
ger are their opportunities for feath-
ering their nests.-GreenmOoa Jour-

InCiSive DrOllefy Of Senator Burton

As an indication of the drollery of
Senator Burton, story IS told of
how he finished a conference with
the remark:
"Gentlemen, there is no use in
asking; you cannot get the approprl-
atiou."
"Don't you think that is pretty
hard on us, Mr. Burton:" inquired one
of the spokesmen,
"You remind me-" replied Mi
Burton, "of the story of how Solo.
mon Levi borrowed a thousand dol
lars from his friend Einstein. Next
day the latter was shocked to hear
that Solomon had become bankrupt.
His annoyance at the lngratitude of
Solomon increased when he read the
list of creditors next day-his own
uame did not appear. He hastened to
find his erstwhile friend and re-
preached him:
"'Do you call yourself my friend,
and you do not even include my
name in your list of creditors-what
about that thousand dollars gave
you on Monday?'
"'Neverthe!ess, | am your friend.
"'Hcw is that?'
"'Why, don't you see those men
on that preferred list think they
will get some money-but you haow
you won't-and have no uncertainty
to worry you!
THAT, gentlemen, said Mr. Bur
ton, lis precisely my position in this
matter. You might as well know
that you won't get anything; there
is some consolation in certainty, and
| know you will agree with me that
there is limit even to the capacious
pockets of Uncle Sam. ."-"Afairs

Race Suicide as Viewed by a Woman.
Contributed.

Woman is charged with having
lost the God.glven desire to become
a wife and mother. Various reasons
are assigned for this, but | have seen
no mention of what | believe to be
the greatest cause of this loss. Is it
not because our nation has refused
to protect the home that the Ameri-
can woman refuses to become d wife
and mother? She has wept, prayed
and petitioned our state and rational
governments to throw around the
homes of this country some protec-
ton from the greatest curse this
world has ever known. But instead
of granting her request "this land
of The free aud the home of the
brave" has gone into partnership
with the home. destroyer, so the only
reply weeping, petitioniug woman.
hood receives is: "Go make homes,
be patien ''4'Naar children, and each
abont 100000 of
.ds' graves, and We
y many of them we
yiace IN almshouses, county
rails, penitentiaries and insane asy-
lumS."
It is not because woman loves
poodle dog more than a baby tina t
she chooses the dog, but if she pays
the tax and puts a collar on her dog
she is protected by the law from the
dog slayer; but tell me, if you can,
how mother can protect her boy:
She went down to the gates of death
to give him birth. She counts this
as naught for the JOY that man
child is born. She watches over him,
sleeping and waking, warns him of
the dangers of the intoxicating cup,
but it availeth not. Ere the blush OF
youth has left his cheek she sees him
offered a sacrifice Oh the altar of his
nations greed.
What wonder that woman buys
ranch, goes into sheep raising instead
of raising boys: Wool-growers are
protected, and if the wolves should
abound our government would pay
so much per head for their destruc-
ton. But the destroyer of our sons
is protected by law; his business is
legalized. When the voters of the
country make the raising of chlldren
safe business. then will our daugh.
tiers become wives and joyful mothers
of children, "and the streets of the
city shall bt''full of 'oys and girls

GOOD FORM IN LETTER WRITING.
Colored Note Paper Paper Continues In
Fay0r-BexaPe of Postcards.

At present gray-lin,ed letter-pa
per is much in vogur, and an inde
terminate shade of blue is also pop
lar. White or cream color although
always in good taste, is not much
used, Whether the paper has
smooth Or rough finish depends en-
tirely upon the taste of the individ
ual.
Lined paper is strictly taboo.
If you can not write evenly, slip :
sheet of black lines under the paper
as you write.
While monogrammed letter-pape:
is found in the writing desk of near
" every woman, men usually use
plain white paper of superfnc quail
|tv. Club men use the club paper,
which usually bears the club stamp,
Strongly-scented note paper is II
pool taste.
Postcards are only permissible
when used for business purposes,
When sending postcard the initials
should be signed instead of the fu''
name.
AS one writes u letter SO that
may be read, cultivate the art OF
writing clearly, lsgibly and without
undue hourishes. Black ink should
be used for social correspondence.
The stub pen and its consequent
broad lines remain fashionable. The
thin lines of the pointed nib are
out of date.
Be careful that your letters con-
tain no authorizations, erasures,
blots, misspelled words, grammati-
cal errors or numerals. The date
must written out IN full as follows:
The third of March," or "March
third" Each word must be sepa-
rate and distinct and a margin of a
half an inch should be left at the
beginning of each line. The begin.
ming of letter should be two inches
from the top of the sheet. Do not
forget to paragraph. A letter writ
ten crosswise is extremely hard to
decipher and for that very reason is
apt to be left unread.-7he Marcel
