INVESTIGATIONS, AID NAUSEAM.

1t would seem that the people OF
South Carolina-the people Of the va
rious counties get together and
elect delegations to the general as
sembly who would not have to appoint
investigating committees at every ses-
sion to investigate subcommittee Of
their own members.
This matter of investigating CON-
.mittees in South Carolina has about
reached the limit. 1t is now getting
nauseating.

". E. PERRY NOT CAUGHT.
Reported Capture of LangdOn BoOzers
Slayer an Error-S1,0O0 Re-
ward.

Chester, Feb. 5.-The publication in
certain Georgia papers of an item to
the effect that W. E. Perry, wanted
here for the alleged murder OF Lang
don L. Doozer, of Newberry, in 1905,
led Sheriff Colvin to wire the Colum-
bus authorities today for information
but the reply came back that no such
arrest has been made.
There is a reward of $1,000 for
Perry's capture, and innumerable
times he has been reported as in
custody, but each time the story turns
out to be a mistake.

It seems to us that all the county
papers in South Carolina are engaged
in a contest to see which can preach
most effectively the virtues of the
split-log drag. The Newberry Herald
and News, pioneer advocate, reports
many converts among Newberry coun-
ty farmers and pledges itself to have
something to say on this subject in
every issue. The TimmonsVlile In
terprise says that the drag is being
used on the streets of Timmonsv1lle
as we'll as upon Florence county roads,
and with good results. The same thing
is being done in Sumter. The Green
wood Journal and the Laurens AdVer-
tiser tell of farmers in both those
counties who have been using the drag
on the roads in the vicinity of their
homes, and the Journal boasts that
in that county every road was dragged
before the last rain. The growing
popularity of this simple but highly
useful device for keeping the high
ways in good condition is very graft
flying; as is the disposition of the far
mers in the matter. But it is just as
we'll to bear in mind that no country
in all the history of the world ever
built or maintained good highways by
a system of voluntary cooperation
News and Courier.
It is quite probable that the editor
of The Herald and News will keep his
promise to have something to say on
The subject of the split log drag for
sometime to come, at least. He is now
having practical experience OF the coll
ditions of the public roads of this
county, and when one sees the great
Improvement that comes to a ROAD
from the proper use of the split log
drag by travelling road On which the
drag has not been used and realizes
the difference in the two roads, it is
very difficult not to speak of it. even
if one is SO inclined. We had that
experience only this week, and we can
not understand why the people who
have constant occasion to use the puc-
lie roads will not utilize this cheap
device upon their "oads. 1t is true,
as the News and Courier says, that no
country in the history O. the world
ever built or maintained good hisE-
ways by voluntary contribution either
of money or effort, and it IS also true
that it would pay the people who have
constant use of the roads to apply the
split log drag. 1t would save them
time and money and until the people
realize the: value of good roads and
are willing to pay the price, we will
continue to insist upon this small vol
untary contribution. If we could make
the people realize that even the taxes
paid for permanent roads are not on
the same footing as taxes paid for
maintenance of the government, We
believe that they would be willing to
make this investment, for it is an in
vestment that will pay larger divi-
dends than any other the people could
possibly make.

the rural districts, and let the men,
bers see the condition of the public
schools in this State and realize the
Inadequate support which is being CIV
en- for the education of the children
Of the State, instead of some of these
iaunts which they are making to State
colleges, that their viewpoint would
be very materially changed. Anyone
who at all keeps up with the trend OF
Hesitation in recent years, and par
ticularly the appropriation of public
funds, will observe that any PROPOSE
ton to erect new buildings or increase
the maintenance funds for State insti-
tutions Of higher learning usually goes
through without opposition, while any
proposition for the betterment of the
country schools is usually fought very
bitterly and many times by those who
are most vitality interested in the coun-
try school.
We noticed only the other day that
the proposition to give the university
s5O,000 for new building went
through without contest while we un-
derstand that the request for $4,000
for building fund to aid the rural
schools in the erection of at least
comfortable buildings was fought and
will probably be cut in half. We Won
der sometimes if the legislature real
ICES that more than ninety per cent.
of the children of South Carolina new
er have the opportunity of a college
education, and yet, the State spends
on its higher institutions of learning
about one half as much as is being
spent by the State upon the entire
public school system of South Caro-
lima. This expenditure does not in
clude the money that is being spent
in the maintenance of private and de-
nominational colleges.
There are about two thousand boys
and girls in all the State institutions
of higher learning, 1--WE are speaking
of the white institutions), while there
are more than one, hundred and fifty
thousand children in the common
schools, ninety per cent. of whom will
never have the advantage of college
education. Yet when the legislature
comes to vote away the peoples mon
ey, they do not hesitate to give fifty
thousand for one building at one State
Institution, while they quickly cut one
half of forty thousand that is asked
in order to encourage the rural
schools to improve the buildings to
be used by these ninety per cent. of
the children of the State.
1t is past understanding why the
parents of these children will quietly
submit to this discrimination; and
this less than ten per cent. of the chill
dren who take a college course in
many cases are amply able to do so
without the aid of the State.
AS we see it, the most vital question
before the people of the State today,
is the betterment and improvement
I not so much of the teaching in the
country schools, but the environment
of the children while in these schools.
And by this statement We do not in
the least disparage proper training.
Many a girl, with poor equipment, at
forty dollars a month, is doing more
for the education of the children OF
the State than your highly paid college
professor.

HENNEssY PROTESTS SEAT OF
SEN. CHRISTY. :.

Senator L. ID. Beale, of East Baton
Rouge, presented in the senate the pro-
test of VIM. J. Hennessy against the
seating of Senator w. T. Christy, who
was declared elected over the protest
ant. The Hennessy protest will go to
the new senate committee on qualifi-
cations and election when appointed.
Ex-senator Hennessy filed through
Mr.. Beale a strong brief in behalf of a
decree to declare him the senator-elect
from the Seventh senatorial district.
While the Hennessy contest has been
passed on by the courts, the senate is
really the sole Judge of the qualifica-
lions of its members, and Mr.. Hennes-
sy hopes to move the majority to an
appreciation of the justice of his claim.
He bases his protest largely on the
alleged illegal assistance given certain
voters in the preparation of their bal
lots and declares that in the second
precinct of the fifteenth ward he was
denied representation. The supreme
court has passed on the assistance
clause of the primary election law, but
Mr.. Hennessy wants the senate to in
terpret it.
In his brief Mr.. Hennessy declares
that the machinery of government fail
ed to provide remedy for the wrong
he suffered and he calls attention to
"the ante-election proclamation of the
governor of Louisiana and the CHROME.
Gus construction put upon the law by
the said governor"
He asks that the senate declare him
