What was his surprise when be saw

the wire were round the neck.
Inquiries were soon started in the
outlying villages. and it came to light
that the white china insulators of the

One day at Milan he was unexpect-

ment permitting towns and cities to
bond themselves beyond the 8 per
cent. of the taxable property, instead
of making so many amendments to ap-
ply to so many different communities.
However, if these communities desire
to put an additional tax on themselves
it would be denying them the right of
local self government not to give them
the privilege. We believe in the prin-
ciple Of local self-government and,
therefore, We think the amendments
should be adopted and if the towns
interested want to put on themselves
an additional debt let them do it.

We would like to know how much
Of the $1,000 that has been raised by
the mill levy for roads has been OK
pended on the roads exclusively. and
whether or not this money IS used for
the maintenance Of the chaingang. As
we understand it, the special act levy
ing the 1 mill tax was to 90 exclu-
sively to the working and improve
ment Of the roads and was to be kept
a separate fund for that purpose, and
in addition to the amount necessary
for t9e maintenance OF the chaingang'
whose maintenance was to be taken
out Of the ordinary county fund.

We would call the attention of our
subscribers to the fact that all sub
scriptions expire on the 1st and 18th
of the month and that we do not send
notices. We would, therefore, insist
that you examine the label and remit
for your renewela so as not to miss
any copy of the paper. We are en-
deavoring to print a better paper ev-
cry issue than the one we printed be-
fore, and We are not sacrificing our
reading matter and news columns to
advertisements, but when We have an
excess of advertisements we increase
the size Of the paper. This is good
time to subscribe while you have the
money. We can not help making a
good newspaper, it just comes natural.

and yet they pay their proportion of
the taxes for the maintenance Of the
present changing. However, if the
supervisor will continue this work on
to Chaplin and to the NeWberry line,
We might adopt it as the main high
way between NeWberry and Columbia.
There is certainly great necessity for
road through Lexington county into
Columbia.

South Carolina Game Laws.

Mr.. James Henry Rice, Jr., secre-
tary of the Audubon society OF South
Carolina, has thus summarized the
seasons as prescribed by law in this
State:
Partridges, wild turkeys-November
Is to March 1.
Woodcock-September l to March
Is.
Doves-August Is to March Is.
Dear-Novembe 1 to February l.
Grackle (crow Observation-Disclosures
1 to March l.
Willet-November 1 to March /.
Bag Imits-Twenty-f partridges
or 25 doves or II woodcock or TWO
wild turkeys in one day; five deer
in a season. Does or female deer for
bidden to be killed at any times. No
game to be kept in cold storage ex-
cept In a private dwelling.
Exceptdon-Berkeley county.
Partridges, Wild turkey, Woodeock
November 1 to April 1.
Deer-August / to February 1.
No bag limit; no protection to fe-
male deer or any other game not listed
above
One Of the most important provis-
ions of the new law is that no game
is allowed to be kept in cold storage,
except in a private dwelling: This
APPLIES to the whole State with the
exception Of Berkeley county.

We noticed in. coming from Colum-
bla this week that the supervisor Of
Lexington county is building an excel
lent road between Irmo and L.eaphart.
He is relocating the road and grading
it and putting it in excellent condi-
ton. The bad part is he did not first
work the road between Broad river
bridge and the Newberry line via
Spring Hill as that seems to be the
most direct way between NeWberry
and Columbia. His excuse, we under
stand, is that there is agitation that
this part of Lexington will be cut OF
into Richland county and he does not
care to work roads for Richland coun-
ty. These people have been in Lex
ington for many years and we under
stand have had no help on their roads
from the supervisor for several years,

Those who are opposing the adop-
don Of the constitutional amendments
10 be voted on at the general election
1ext Tuesday, amongst other reasons,
give the fact that the organic law
should not be so often tampered with,
and that it was only a few years ago
ahat the constitution was adopted and
II constant amendments are adopted,
va will soon have the organic law a
mere piece Of patch work.
The great trouble With our organic
law, as adopted in 1885, Is that the
members Of the constitutional con-
vention undertook to legislate and put
Shings In the constitution which
should have been left to the 1egisla-
&ure. We do not believe that It is
right to have so many exceptions to
the constitution and Il the constitu-
don had contained basic principles in
stead Of attempting to go into details,
which details should have been left
10 the legislature, there would not be
DO great a demand for amendments.
For instance, We recall that the con-
Btitution as adopted provided. that
there should be uniform county gov
erDment law. This was to prevent To-
cal legislation, but, taking our State
as a whole, it was an absurd PROPOSE
Mon and, Of course, the constitution
was amended.
For instance, q road law that would
Ne suitable to the Piedmont section
OF the State would probably not be
suitable to the coast section, and,
therefore, it was absurd to undertake
by constitutional enactment to rSluire
G uniform road law.
We simply mention this one matter
as evidence Of our statement that
there was too great an attempt at leg
islation in framing the organic law,
and as to the several amendments
that are to be voted on next Tuesday,
we think that it would have been bet
ter to hav adopted general amend
