TIE BAR ASSOCIATION AND THE

At the meeting OF the State Bar
+ Association on Wednesday u resolu-
tior was adopted providing for the ap-
pointment of a committee to inquire
into the matter of the fees paid to the
three clerks of the Supreme Court of
Appeals, with the view of asking the
General Assembly TO place these en-
cellent officers on straight salary
basis instead OF allowing them to be
present system of fees, which is a
hardship upon the litigants in that
Court
We wish the Bar Association might
have extended the work of the com
mittee so that it could also have
taken cognzance OF the fee system

question directly affecting the par
ticular' interest represented by tho AS

Moreover. the taxpayers generally are
directly interested in the reform of
this great evil. and they should move
in a body for its removal. Public Of

services; but the people who pay them
should know what they are paying.
Next week there Will be q meet
ing of the Clerks Association at
stanton. and doubtless the subject
will be there discussed They are
very popular and generally deserving

any OF their number should be paid

fuliy' since all efforts expended on
them will yield returns witch could
rot he secured through the reading of
current books. DR. Crane agrees with
Emerson that 1t is safe rule to read
mainly books which are more than
twenty eight years old. We must say,
however, that precocious indeed is the
boy who could read with profit Emerson,
Wordsworth Bacon or Tennyson-in
TACT, we entertain serious doubt If the
average college student could really
appreciate those authors When there
arc green fields nearby and purling
streams. Emerson is punishment for
the average lad.
For lighter reading DR.. Crane sug-
gests the following novels. which he
thinks arc worth any boys time:
stevenson's Treasure Island" John
Halifax, Gentleman" Samuel Johnson's
"Rasselas.' Dumas Count of Monte
Cristo." Collins's "Moonstone." "a Bow
oil Orange Ribbon Uncle Toms
Cabin" Poe's Tales, Quo Vadis," Ben
Hur." "vathek," marble Faun." Fool
of Quality" 'ICloister and Hearth"
McDonald's novels, The Fair God"
"Hypatia," Ebers's Novels. Mark
Twain's books
In time like this, when the moving
picture show claims moro attention
than the library, DIR. Cranes advice Is
appropriate. except as to "Uncle Toms
Cabin" Much good would result were
1t possible for every home in this
country to be supplied with the books

Sir--Allow me to congratulate Eu-
gene Massie on the stand that he has
taken in regard to the "Beulah Binford
picture business" which the press Of
this city has seen proper to Haunt in
the eyes of decent and moral citizens.
Like him. think it degrading your
columns to cater to this kind of BUSH
ness. but. above all other things to be
regretted. is that it tonds to lower
the standard of womanhood and man
hood In the State. While ] sympathize
with all in afiiction, yet there are
some that should be placed in OBJ
security instead OF giving them noto-
riety. which is simply advertising them
and their vices God protect our man.
hood and womanhood of the present
day f9r It needs all the sustaining
and upbuilding that the press ond
every other Influence can give.
I have been subscriber of your
paper for years. and am sorry to say
that within the past week or two I
have been ashamed to have it in the
house for my daughter and son 10
read. Let the law take its course, pun
ish the guilty and for the sake or
womanhood, lot tho name of Beulah
Binford be forgotten.
All praise DO given to Mr. Massie for
his noble thoughts.

COLONEL As1ons MAnnIAGE.

Colonel John Jacob Aston has not
abandoned his intention of marrying
Miss Force. and there appears to be
no way to prevent 1t except by force.
The Episcopal Bishops and other
clergy in New York, Philadelphia and
other communities in which the di-
vorce business has been prosecuted
with great energy for many years are
almost a unit in their condemnation
of this match. Bishop Greer said the
other day: Il trust some day our
Church, like the Roman Catholic
Church. will not recognize divorce or
any marriage after divorce" That is
good wish, and that would be the
proper thing for Bishop Greer's Church
to do; but we doubt that 1t ever Will.
Besides. in this day and generation,
vain will be the protests OF the Church
so long as the State permits divorce.
AS first step towards the success
of any ecclesiastical position Bishop
Grcer's Church may take on the sub
ject. we would suggest that ne and
all his clergy and their fellow church
men encourage the adoption OF the
South Carolina policy OF no divorce
for any cause. On this subject the
Palmetto State occupies unique posi-
tion among the American Common
wealths. In that State from its foun-
dalton. e:.cept during the period of
negro and alien government. there has
never been any divorce. and We ven
ture to say that it is second to none
in the domestic happiness OF its
people.
II Bishop Greer and his fellow pre-
lates had always been active in
expressing their horror of the divorce
evil as they have been in the case of
Colonel Aston. the reform for which
they now pray might have long since
been accomplished. There are a num-
her of cases, we believe. in New York
where there has been no difficulty in
obtaining the Offices of the Church in
the marriage of divorced persons.
