"Of course" continued the Senator,

Senator Lorimer of Illinois, mem

the Rivers and Harbors Committee

every indication points that it will, its
consideration by the Senate could moi

COL. s. ]. SIMPSON.

In the death Of Col. Stobo ]. Simp-
son, which occurred at his home in
spartanburg on Friday, South Caro-
lima has lost a son who was a man in
the biggest and truest sense OF the
word. He was a chivalric Southern
gentleman, and no more could be said
of any man.
Col. Simpson was in the prime OF
life, and had a great future before
him, as he had an enViabie past be-
hind him. He was a great lawyer. In
his arguments on questions Of law
one not familiar with the technicali-
ties Of the law could see the point at
which he was driving. Col. Simpson
tn clear and forcetul arguments which
he made, always had a point in view,
and he made his point the centre OF
his argument, as the hub is the cen
tire of a buggy wheel-to use home
ly illustration. He was general coun-
sci for the C. & W. C. railway, and
he had a large and lucrative practice
outside of this employment He fought
cases on the merits, carrying the high
tenets which were his creed in pri-
vate life, into his law business and
every other walk in life along which
he went.
No man could be intimately asso-
ciated with Col. Simpson for any
length of time without learning to re-
spect and admire him, and all his
friends loved him.
His death is the departure of a
man whom the State could i'll afford
to lose, and along with hundreds OF
others we mourn it.

Partisans," the most fascinating and

the War Archives in Washington, bus

reality. He tells in this tory deeds

py VanDorn, who fell to the wiles OF
a beautiful woman, of the Unfortunate
Bragg, of the great fighting prelate,
Lieut.. Gen. Bishop Polk, and of his
hero, Gen. Morgan, who is the only
Confed crate commander who carried
his colors north of the Ohio, and
swept like a cyclone through TWO
Northern States. And but for his un-
timely death, falling before a "womah
scorned" his name would have filled
one of the highest inches of fame, o
all the Soulh's great riders

"THE SINS OF THE FATHER"

Thomas Dioxn wrote great truth
when he penned the sentence in FThe
Sins Of the Father" to the effect that
the lone'iest road across the earth is
the way of sin. That there is sin, and
much Of it, in the regard to which
he calls attention, can not be disput-
ed. But there is such a thing as max
Ing the cure worse than the disease
of going so far in urging a remedy
that, instead of curing the disease,
more disease will be contracted.
In our opinion, Thomas Dixon's
play, "The Sins of the Father" has
the tendency to do far more harm
than good. We have no doubt that
Mr.. Dixon's idea was to teach moral
lesson, and there is a great moral les
son that needs to be taught, but we
can not see that the South or the ma
ton will be benefited by bringing this
lesson home so brutally in the pres
ence of girl children and of young la
dies who are pure and innocent, who
do not need the lesson sought to be
taught, and many of whom would
never dream of this condition which
is portrayed unless it were driven
home to them brutally as is done in
Mr.. Dixon's play.
Mr.. Dixon urges with truth that the
women of the South are bound to be
the greatest sufferers from the evil
which he so dramatically portrays.
But it is not an evil which innocent
young girls of from sixteen years of
age upwards can correct, and the sug-
gestiveness of Mr. Dixon's play is
something which ought not to come
to thier attention.
We understand that Mr.. Dixon has
been commended by Women's clubs in
different sections Of the South for
presenting the play. We believe these
women have been misled by proper
fear of the evil without taking into
consideration the evil which may re-
suit from the remedy which Mr.. Dix
Oh is applying.
We repeat, the play was brutally
suggestive, and no fit play for young
women to attend, at the same time
realizing that there is urgent need for
| the teaching Of the lesson, but be-
| lieving that it can be taught in a much
more effective way without the pres

sary in each individual case. If the

sary in each individual case. If the
communities affected, however, desire
to vote bonds for the purposes men
toned, we can not see where any 9TH
er section will be hurt, if there is
hurt at all, and We can not see why
Newberry or any other county not in
yolved should prohibit some other
community from managing its own af-
fairs as it sees ft- It does seem, how
ever, that the Constitution ought to
be so framed that such frequent
amendments in local cases would not
be necessary.
The sixth and seventh proposed
amendments would increase the num-
Der of supreme court justices from
four to five, and would increase their
tenure of Office from eight to ten
years. For the reasons which We have
urged heretofore, We believe this
would be wise.
The eighth proposed amendment
would empower the corporate authori
ties of the cities Of Greenville, Spar
tanburg and Columbia, and the town
Of Manning, ito levy an assessment
upon abutting property for the pur-
pose of paying for permanent i'm
provements on streets and sidewalks
Immediately abutting said property"
and so on.
The ninth proposed amendment
would modify the provision Of the
Constitution so as to allow the town
ships in the counties of Greenwood
and Saluda to vote bonds in aid of
the proposed Greenwood and Saluda
railroad.
A careful study of the proposed
amendments shows that they are all
local measures except as to increas-
ing the number of supreme court JUS
tices. AS We remarked, the Constitu-
ton ought to be broad enough to cover
these local matters without an
amendment in each case, but since it
is not we can see no reason why the
communities affected should not be
the judges of their own affairs. AS to
the increase in the number Of su-
preme court justices, we believe this
is wise and expedient.
Therefore, The Herald and News
favors all of the proposed constitu-
tional amendments, and we have tried
to explain as best we could what the
effect of each will be-

ence of innocent girls.

Mr.. Dixon is a great writer. He is
one Of the most eloquent and forceful
writer's which this generation has pro-
ducad. His "Leopard's Spots" is, in
our opinion, the greatest novel IN re-
cent years. His "The One Woman
was forcefully written, but had no
business in the home OF Southern peo-
pie, or Of any other people, uncensor-
ed. He is a deep thinker, and he real
ICES strongly the danger which con-
fronts us, but We can not but believe
the remedy which he is applying, in
It's brutal suggestiveness, is too harsh.
No self-respecting father would allow
"Cleo" to state to his daughter what
she said on the stage in Newberry
on Friday night, and the glamour Of
the footlights and the preesnce OF a
cultured audience takes away none OF
the harshness of improper sugges-
tons
Mr.. Dixon made a talk which was
much better than his show. We be-
lieve an audience would have been
much more benefited by a talk from
Mr.. Dixon than by his play. He is a
forceful and eloquent talker, OF mag
nifcent personality, as he is force
ful and eloquent writer.
But "The Sins Of the Father" ought
to be taken of the stage.

I saw in an Atlanta paper the other

THE IDLER.

In the eleventh chapter Of Proverbs,
beginning at the Oath verse, you may
read these words: There is that scat
tereth, and yet increaseth; and there
is that withholdeth more than is meet,
but it tendeth to poverty.
"The liberal soul shall be made fat;
and he that watereth shall be watered
also himself.
"He that withholdeth corn, the peo-
pie shall curse him; but blessing shall
be upon the head of him that selleth 1t.
HE shall trusteth in his riches shall
fall: but the righteous shall flourish
as a branch"
Now, I want everybody in NeWberry
to read these words and then turn
over with me to the gospels and read
the account of the young man who
came to the Master, and who had kept
all of the commandments from his
youth up, and when the Master said
unto him, eff thou wilt be perfect, go
and sell that thou hast and give to
the poor, and thou shalt have treasure
in heaven" but when the young man
heard these words che went away
sorrowful." It was the manifesto
ton of that old selfish and money
greed spirit. which crops out even in
this day. Couldn't part with his pos
sessions, even to help the poor, and
what did it profit him at the end. 1t
seems to me if I had plenty would
take pleasure in giving to the poor,
and in helping to build those things
that would help humanity and make
the burden lighter. But my obserVa-
ton and experience is that the people
who have the most are the most selfish
and greedy and grind down the poor,
and when they 90 turn loose a dollar
they want to know where it is going
to benefit them. You just start Out III

nose, and after you get around stop
and look at your list, and I'll bet J'ou
