4 GOOD PROVISION-IF ENFORCED.

The Columbia Record calls atten-
ton to a provision in the Georgia con-
stitution which "prevents any member
of the legislature from resigning his
office to accept an election by his col
leagues, and after he has taken the
oath and qualified as member of the
legislature he may not accept any ap-
pointment at the hands of the COVER
nor
The Record says there is no such
provision in our constitution, but that
the wisdom Of having it has been dem
onstrated in recent years. That is
true, but suppose such provision
were part of our constitution
and it was disregarded- as the
one now in our constitution, as to
members of the legislature, what good
would it avail. Better it be not there
than to have it trampIed under foot as
is now the case. As to members Of
the legislature, on this very point our
constitution says, Article III, Section
"a: "No person shall be eligible to
seat in the general assembly while he
holds any Office or position Of profit
or trust under this State, the United
States of America, or any Of them, or
under any other power, except officers
in the militia, and notaries public;
and if any member shall ACCEPT or
exercise any of the said disqualifying
Offices or positions he shall vacate his
seat
The same provision was in the con-
stitution of 1868, only the constitution
of 1895 is more sweeping, 1t includes
s'ofices" or positions.
This provision is fiagrantly violated:
When Gov. Blease called attention to
it in a special message to the legisla-
ture several members gave up their
"position,' others did not. The attor-
question as to certain 'Fpositions, but
we suppose the onerous duties of his
Office has precluded his bringing the
test, and several members of the gen.
eral assembly are holding other ''posi-
tions."
What's the use of any more constitu-
tional provisions along this line when
those that are there are openly violat-
ed? We have too many laws now that
are not enforced. The suggestion Of
the Record is good if it would be en-
forced.

NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT.
forced.

When a newspaper has nothing to
talk about he can bore his subscribers
talking about good roads. Good roads
are necessary for automobiles, and far
mers ought to be made build good
roads.-Abbeville Press and Banner.
Of course, it takes more than talk
and newspaper editorials to build good
roads, but the talk and the newspaper
editorials play their part and are nee
essary to arouse public sentiment and
to get the people to thinking and to
realize the Importance and the value
and the necessity of good roads. And
it is not for automobiles alone that
good roads are necessary.
A great deal better for the editor to
give his readers editorials on good
roads than to fill up with so much po-
litical rot and slush
We remember some years ago when
The Herald and News was about the
only paper that was writing editorials
on good roads, but now the sentiment
is unanimous. Some eight or nine years
ago the editor of The Herald and News,
then a member of the legislature, in
troduced bill to provide for bonds

T was just wondering when I read
the card of Mr.. Harry W. Domiaick,
secretary of the board of health, re-
questing the editor to be more specific
as to the drains and bitches in New
berry that needed cleaning, if the
members were blind, or near-sighted.
Or, may be they are like I used to
hear it said about the dispensary con-
stables who operated in Charleston.
Having eyes they see not, and having
ears they hear not And I suppose it
might be added, having noses they
smell not. Or as a higher authority
puts 1t, having eyes they must see and
not see; having ears must hear and
not hear; and having noses smell and
smell not, or words to that effect.
These are the only two hypotheses
upon which I see any hook upon
which Mr.. Dominick can hang his con-
clusions.

But after the inspection on the 18th
all these things will be changed and
We will have a clean town once more.
Of course everybody should keep his
premises clean. But sometimes it
happens that everybody doesn't do it.
That would be all right if everybody
lived all to himself, but everybody
doesn't live all to himself and I may
keep my premises clean and if my
neighbor does not where am I at. That
is the reason we have health officers
and boards Of health and pay them to
make everybody do what he ought to

The editor sends me the following

would say that in this purely CONNER
cial age dollar will atone for many
sins especially true in Newberry
Why should a dog that is worth dol
lar have hydrophobia at ALL I
am glad to see that the
chiefs mind is running on dogs
It may cause him to get orders
and to give orders to have the dog
ordinance enforced. If all the dogs
that I see on the streets pay that dol
lar there ought to be money enough
in the town treasury to clean up the
town in one day and clean out those
drains as we'll
BY the way, that reminds NE that
some one told me that a Newberry far
mer had a wagon load of dogs on the
street for sale the other day, and that
the people focked around the wagon
like they do around load of country
peaches or chickens, and I suppose
the farmer had no difficulty in dispos-
ing of his cargo. A new industry for
this county-a dog fennel. Pity the
farmer did not direct his energies to
raising hogs.

Cured to me that it might contain a
suggestion to the board of health-I
mean it might contain an which
if followed would result in sending our
health officer to this university after
that degree. A good doctor of the
public health might be worth more
than dozen doctors of physic, be-
cause he isl mean the doctor of the
public health-the one who would pre-
scribe the ounce of prevention and
you know that it is said always to be
worth a pound Of eure-that would be
the good ola Bryan and Farmers alli-
ance doctrine of 16 to !. But here is
the notice T was talking about:
"A new degree has been invented by
the University of Michigan. 1t is rep
resented by the letters I'D. P. H." which
mean doctor of public health" The
hrst ID. P. H." degrees were conferred
a few days ago upon Drs. Evans and
Keifer, who have been very successful
in chasing germs to their lair and
catching them. The new degree. it
seems, is to be reserved for the h nor
of scientists who do something nota-
bic in the way for promoting the pub
lie health by hygienic, surgical or 9TH
er means.
When I was young, I never heard Of
bacteria, and germs and microbes, be-
ing in the milk and the water and ev-
erywhere as breeders Of disease
of course, they were there. Why in
those days when the salt was out we
would dig up the dirt in the meat
houses and get the salt from it and in
the army we drank water wherever
We could get it and ate anything that
was at hand. And people get sick and
die now just like they did then. Maybe
when the scientist gets the people to
observe the rules of health, he will be
able to do away with disease and sick
ness and prolong human life. But you
know I don't think it well for man to
try to dive too deep into the mysteries
Of life. Isn't there something in the
Bible about man getting too wise and
too smart. Seems to me there is.
However, I know cleanliness is CON-
mended and the doctor of the public
health can clean up.
