On Choosing Legislators.

Does it often occur to the average
voter that the legislature controls in
large measure the development Of
the public school system and the col
leges of the State?
Does Winthrop need a new kitch-
en-? The legislature decides whether
it shall have the money with which
to build 1t. Does the South Carolina
University need bath rooms? Does
the Citadel need more dormitory
room? Should Clemsons troubles il
administration be gone into inde-
pendently of the trustees? The MEM
bers of the legislature must decide.
Shall a fund be provided to length
On the school term of the weak pub
lie schools? Shall they be helped to
buy libraries? The men you send to
the legislature must say yes or no.
Often these questions are decided
by very few votes, not infreouent-
y oy one. Sometiems in the house
and frequently in the senate one
member decides the fate Of large is
sues.
The personnel of the legislature is
OF great importance to the State at
large. Each county must, of course,
consider local issues in choosing
representatives, but voters shold, at
the same time. think seriously Of the
greater interests involved.
Counties are judged in consider
able measure by the character of
their representatives and county
pride should play no small part in
selecting delegations.
When all this is realized it be-
comes rather distressing to find that
there are voters who cast their votes
from small personal motives. The
total number who are influenced by
political srudges. personal animosi-
ties, trivial likes and dislikes. or who
cast their votes thoughtlessly are at
times enough to elect or defeat legls-
lativc candidates.
This is all said without regard TO
any aspirant for legislative honcrs i'm
this county now or In the past. But,
as the time is at hand when voters
will be called on to choose their rep
rcsentadves, such reflections are very
timely.-Bcaufort Gazette.
