Suppose South Carolina should
wake up and do the liberal thing in
the way of encouraging highway
building. Well, it would be the best
step ever taken by the state. It is
the most important thingin the devel-
opment Of the States resources
Spartanburg Herald.
It would be a good step, but do
sou have any idea the legislature will
do anything of the kind? The legis-
lature may establish highway de-
partment and elect an engineer and
a secretary and make an appropria-
tion to support the department but
well that will be encouraging high
way building.

The report Of the legislative COM
mittee to investigate the State hos
pial for the Insane was submitted to
the legislature on last Thursday. A
full synopsis is published in this pa
per. Some years ago DR.. Babeock
Recommended to the legislature the
ad1isability Of purchasing a large
tract of land which was only few
miles out Of the city Of Columbia and
then begin the enlargement Of the In
stitutiou. But his recommendation
was not adopted. That the institu-
ton has been over-crowded every one
who desires to be informed must
have known before the investigation
began. We know that on more than
one occasion Dr.. Babcock has called
the attention Of the legislature to
the feet.
With the crowded condition it was
impossible to give the inmates that
attention and care which they should
have. We do mot believe that a bet
ter man for the position Of superin-
tendent than DR.. Babcock can be
found. The races ought to be sep
arated and the institution ought to
be moved out of the city. A good
healthy location can be secured
somewhere near Columbia for both
white and colored inmates and it
would BE- a mistake to take the two
institutions to remote sections Of the
State. Columbia is easy Of access
from all parts Of the State and the
property now owned by the State
could be sold and other lands secured
near the city that would be- sdmir-
ably adapted for hospital for this
unfortunate class of our citizens.

In theeee times Of advancing prices
newspaper subscriptions and sdver-
tisements are among the cheapest
commodities there are, As a matter
Of fact, in many cases, prices we're
already too low-Yorkville Enquirer.
That IS very true and yet you can
not convince the average editor or
publisher Of country paper. So
many have no regular price and feel
If they do not take what is offered
they have lost just that much. The
Herald and News gives a fat rate
to all regular advertisers, and does
not guarantee position. Probably it
would be well for the legislature to
pass law fixing rates.

We do not intend to have any dis
cussion or controversy with the edi-
tor Of the Observer in the matter of
railroad transportation in exchange
for advertising. We said in a short
article last week all we intend to say
The editor of the Observer IS entitled
to his opinion, though it did take him
a long time to find out it was wrong
and against public policy for editors
to make exchange with railroads
However, We give him credit for hon
esety of opinion and will not discuss
the question. Until we are convinced
that it is wrong we will proceed to
make such arrangements if We desire
and will not try to regulate the con-
duct Of other people.
As We see it g. State officer or a cir
cult judge or a legislator occupies an
entirely different relation to the ed
itor.
We are little surprised that the
Observer would print such an article
as appears under the signature Of W.
We cannot afford to pay attention to
bushwhaekers and We hope the OBJ
server does not need the moral sup

Clemson College will never achieve
the success Of which it is capable
until the president is given more au-
thority and the politicians who CON-
pose the board Of trustees have a
great deal less. It is Just this way.
The students number 600 young men
who will in short time be more or
less influential citizens and voters
scattered over the state. Nearly ev-
cry member Of the board Of trustees
expects some day to ran for governor
or United States senator or some
other Office. Hence the boys are IT.
-Spartanburg Journal.
We have one trustee who Is an
.nounced as candidate for Co..
gress and at least two more who
want to run for governor. So there
may be good deal Of truth in what
the Journal says. But whether or not
it be true that the trustees are using
their position to secure some other
ofiee-some Of them hold other Offices
already In violation of the eonstitu-
tion Of the State-it is true that
there has been too much trusteeship
at Clemson. The statute Law which
provided for only two meetings "a
year contemplated that the manage
men5 Of the school should be left
with the president, and no man with
administrative ability to run the
school will accept the presidency 50
long as the trustees undertake to
ruin the details Of the institution.
There are great possibilities for
Clemson and things will adjust them
selves.

bilities for good Of such a move
meut in which the men of all denom-
inations and creeds unite for the bet
terment and the uplift of humanity
everywhere. I believe this is a
movement in which the great major
ity Of those who took part are doing
so for the good they can accomplish,
and with as little selfish motive back
of it as it is possible to have. Of
course there will be a little selfsh4
ness crop out somewhere, but those
who show it and endeavor to promote
their personal aggrandizement will
soon be pushed aside, for I believe
this movement is the result Of a
realization Of the fact that a duty is
laid on this generation, as it is ON
every generation, to do something
for the uplift Of humanity, and I
want to see results and in my feeble
way I want to do what I can ia help
it along.
There is work abroad-there is
work at home-there is work every
where, and united effort and unset
fish effort will accomplish great
things. The great majority of the
men who went to Columbia last week
went there in the hope of doing
good. I believe they we're unselfsh.
I hope the movement will not be a
fash in the pan but that it will last.
I was dead certain I would have
heard something from Mr.. John
Kinard in response to my appeal to
him to get some of his rich friendR
together and help get the movement
started for the building Of The ID

that is all right, if that is what
are doing. Remember, he who hesi-
tates is lost. Time is fast slipping
by and we should get busy.
Our legislature is having q. good
time this year. A day was spent at
Winthrop college and I know the
girls gave the boys good time, and
now I see the members are going to
Charleston to spend a day to visit
the Citadel but from the program I
read in the papers they will not
waste much time around the old
school but will ride around the har-
Dor in torpedo boats and wind up at
the Commercial club. And they are
to strike the elnb after the dispense
ries are closed, but then these good
people down in Charleston know how
tozstake care Of and+providesfor the
stranger in their midst anAs I am
sure no one will be permittedyto suf-
fer. Then a day is to be spent at
Clemson and a stop of two hours
made at Anderson. 1t is just as
we'll: Let the boys have a good tine.
