out first submitting the question as to
the creation of such new debt, guaran-
ty, endorsemnt or loan Of its credit
to the qualified electors of this State
at a general State election; and unless
two-thirds of the qualified electors of
this State, voting On the question, shall
be in favor of increasing the debt,
guaranty, endorsement or loan of its
credit, none shall be created or made" }"
Of course the development will not
be stopped, because the work has
reached that stage now where it would
be poor economy and bad Judgment and
a financial loss to the State to dis
continue it. And besides the State can
not afford not to provide suitable and
proper accommodation for these unfor-
tunate wards of the State. The legis-
lature will have to make some provis-
ion for their care. We believe if the
people had understood thoroughly the
proposition in the proposed bond issue
it would have been voted, because it
was a good proposition and only pro-
posed to use the present asylum prop
erty to pay for the new property, and
the bond issue was only a simple and
economical plan to make the transfer
without financial loss to the State.
If the plan had been explained to
the people in the campaign, instead of
waging a campaign of personal abuse,
there would have been opportunity for
the people to vote intelligently on it.

Commenting upon the address Of
Mr.. w. G. Shrine before the Southern
Appalachian Good Roads convention
in Atlanta, the Spartanburg Journal
says:
'The advice given by Mr.. Shrine, of
Greenville, to the good roads conven-
ton in Atlanta, that the people Of the
country would take more interest in
building better roads if the automo-
bilist would be more considerate, is
good and timely There is no excuse
for man racing over the country at
rate of speed over 80 miles an hour" !"
Other papers have endorsed the
speech while the general public is
warmly commencing it. There is a
feeling that the time has come to put
an end to speeding.-Greenville Pied
mont.
There is no doubt of the correctness
of Mr.. sirrine's advice. Automobile
owners and drivers can aid very ma
terially in road building and road up
keep, and at the same time get the
people in the country interested in
good roads if they would be- little
more consideeate and little more
careful in driving their automobiles
through the country. The tendency to
reckless speeding seems to take pos
session of every one who drives a car,
and they become imbued with the idea
that the right of way belongs to the
automobile drivers and that upon the
sound of their warning gong all other
vehicles should Immediately turn out
of the road What we need is the CO.
operation of everybody in the building
of better roads. To the farmer who
does not own an automobile there, is
nothing particularly attractive in con-
structing a road which will attract
<'speed maniacs," with no regard for
the rights of the farmers who build
and keep up the road.

THANKS!


The world grows better every year,
though it seems to grow worse. Per-
haps it is worse in part, but on the
whole it is a better world than ever.
Let us be grateful for this.
We are reaching out a helping hand
to the poor, the needy and suffering
as never before 1t Is world of SYM
pathy and kindness. 1t is concerning
itself about the evils of the overcrowd-
ed tenement, of child labor, of white
slavery and intemperance. Such
widespread sentiment against these
and kindred wrongs has been aroused
that reformatory legislation has been
enacted and these evils have been miti-
gated. In time they will almost dis
appear. Let us be grateful for this.
IN no other time have we had more
or better institutions for the care of
the sick, the disabled and the feeble
minded. Hospitals are now like hotels
and orphan asylums are like country
homes. State prisons are no longer
dungeons and we are irving to reform
as well as punish the misdoer. Let us
be grateful for this.
The cry for human liberty is world
wide. Monarchies are giving way to
republics. Even China is emerging in
to Liberty's sunlight. Kingly rulers
are yielding to the demands for more
popular form of government. A II des-
potisms are doomed, including the last
! and the worst-in Turkey. Let US be
grateful for this.
Dynamiters have been brought to
the fear of the law. Anarchists who
marched under flaming banner bear
! ing the words, mo God, no Master!"
have been taught that there is no place
for them in our commonwealth and
that red rag will not be permitted to
supplant the Stars and Stripes. Let
US be grateful for this.
Religious tolerance has followed in
the wake of human liberty. The Bible
is reaching the earthis remotest realms
with its mission of peace and good
will. Let us be grateful for this.
In the beginning was God-and He
created progressive world.
Onward, Christian Soldiers!'-

There are in this age many things
for which we should return thanks and
be grateful. We sometimes think that
one Of the greatest sins of this age is
the sin of ingratitude Not only in
gratitude to God for the many bless
ings we receive from him, but ingrat-
itude to our fellowmar for deeds of
kindness and words of encouragement
and cheer.
We believe the world is growing bet
ter, but sometimes our faith is sorely
tested Certainly the comforts and
conveniences Of life, the care of the
sick and the helpless, are given more
attention than they ever were before
in the worlds history.
It is right that we should set aside
at least one day in tue year to medi-
tate on these things and to offer ouI
thanks aid 10 express oar gratitude
