Columbia Daily Record.
That the spirit if not the letter of
the law is violated by the holding Of
another office and a college trustee
ship is contention that has long been
made by>nawspapers but long unheod-
ed. Now that the governor, as the
chief executive, charged with the duty
of seeing that the constitution and
laws of the State are observed, has
brought the matter to the attention of
the lawmakers, the proposition can
not be dismissed as either idle or i'm
pertinent.
II would seem that those who are
affected in the matter would be the
most anxious to have the question set
tied, and the most direct and the most
satisfactory method of settlem ent
would be to have the question passed
on not by the legislature but by the
courts. The constitution requires that
all officers shall be commissioned; the
right of any trustee who is not com
missioned to perform the duties of his
Office might be easily tested, and in
the same way the right of any trustee
who holds another Office to act as
trustee could likewise be tested.
It is situation the doubtfulness OF
which does not reflect credit upon the
State, and it were we'll to have an end
of it. If Senator Tillman has the legal
right while senator to Serve as trus-
tee Of Clemson college, under the
Clemson will, and of Winthrop col
lege, by election of the legislature, no
one has any possible objection, since
his services to both institutions are
generally recognized, even by his for
mer political opponents. II Capt. Rich
ards, while railroad commissioner, and
Senator Johnstone, while senator, are
legally entitled to act as trustees OF
Clemson, the one by election and the
other under the terms of the will, no
one desires to prevent their doing So
Instead of bringing the matter to
the attention of the general assembly
Or perhaps in addition to doing So
the governor can secure determina-
ton of the issue by having the Ques-
ton brought directly before the su-
preme court. The governor is himself
a lawyer of no mean attainments and
he is clearly of the opinion that the
practice is in violation Of the consti'
tuition. This Was the opinion held BY
the ablest attorney general the State
has had in twenty years, G. Duncan
Bellinger, who after examining int
the question at the personal reQues
of the writer OF this article gave al
opinion to that effect several year:

Ought Either Obey Law or Change it
to Suit Their Convenience.


Sumter Daily Item.
The members Of the legislature who
are also trustees of State institutions
do not approve of Gov. Blease's rude
reference to their action as a rank
violation Of the constitution and they
may ignore his message, as they have
.2ry previous intimation that they
were holding two positions Of honor
and trust illegally and in direct viol-
alton OF the constitution and Of the
oaths of Office; but the issue is now
more clearly defined than ever before
and they can not ignore it indefinitely.
Some years ago the then attorney gen
eral Of the State rendered an opinion
that it would be illegal for man to
hold the positions Of school trustee
and postmaster at the same time; and,
if this opinion is good law, we cannot
understand how some men can legally
hold the positions of college trustees
and members of the Legislature or con-
gress. Gov. BleaAe is on the right
track in the matter and we trust he
will keep on stirring it up until the
lawmakers themselves obey the law,
or else change it to suit their conven-
ience and thereby observe the form
of yielding respect and obedience to
the constitution.

SCALES OF THE EEL.

They Are Very Minute and Resemble
 Herringbone Patchwork.
 In the ordinary acceptat:on of the term the eel is a scaleless fish. But it is due to the fact that it's scales are very minute and imbedded in the skin. They form, as pointed out by cor respondent, very interesting and beau tiful objects for the microscope. In size the scales of the eel vary from one twentieth of an inch upward, accord ing to the age of the fish. They are formed of two layers of a clear, horny substance, the upper of which Is studded with crystals of calcium car bpnate. These are so transparent as tteleok like empty cells. The scales vary in shape from a blunt to an elongated oval and are sometimes al- most kidney shaped.
 This is how the scales of the eel tell its age. On each may be observed at intervals several more or less clearly marked lines parallel to the margin. These mark lines of growth, one for each year of the life of the fish. Three years, however, must be allowed for the innermost ring, as the eel has no scales until the third year. The scales do not overlap to any extent and are arranged in series of small groups at right angles to each other, so as to resemble what is known as herring bone brickwork. Conger cells, how ever, are said to have no scales.-Lon- don Field

Called HiS Bluff,

An irasciblc guest had been sitting at the hotel table about three minutes and no waiter had come to him, and when he caught the eye of the head waiter he called him up. "Here," he said i'll naturedly, i've been waiting for half an hour for somebody to take my order, and nobody has come near! Am going to be waited on?"
 Certainly, sir"
 '"Then want to know why I have been kept waiting n half hour"
 "Well, sir" explained the waiter, "the man who was on duty when you came in, half an hour ago, has left and won't be back until tomorrow, and I only came on duty ten minutes ago, so I don't know the reason"
 The guest knew he was being made fun of, but he also knew that he had been telling a falsehood, so he said no more.-St. Louis Globe Democrat
