GAME EASDsN NOT NEEDED.

Mr.. James Henry Rice has re-
signed as Secretary OF chc AudU-
bon Society. but he remains chief
game warden OF the State noS,
withstaniing there is no pfovls-
ion to pay him d salar::. At the
| last session Of the legislature the
salary for this Office was vetoed,
and tae veto sustained: but the
office itself was not abolished,
which should have been done, il
lit was the purpose Of the leeis-
ilators to take away its salary.
We have always contended the
Office to be useless, that itamoun5-
ed 70 nothing more than the pro-
vlding a place Tor some individ-
ual, and when the Office was Gre
ated it was,in our opinion: at the
instance Of the society with It's
interest more in behalf of foreign
gamesters than any desire to
protect the game. In sections Of
this State the lands have been
rented out for hunting purposes
or sold to a class Of people who
come into the State during the
hunting months for pleasure. and
they being in favor Of those who
rent to them or have sold to
them. under the guise Of protec-
ting the game the Office Of game
warden was created to protect
them, Or possible nearer the
mark would be to say to give this
privileged class a monopoly OF
the game sport il this State.
We think there should not be
ruthless slaughter Of the game
aud fish, but this can be prevent
ed without having a State de-
partment for the purpose, it can
be regulated by the laws against
trespassing. and by local regula-
lions which suit the various local
conditions. At each session Of
the general assembly there has
been q determined effort on the
part Of Representatives from
counties where there are game
preserves to make the game ard
fish laws tighterand tighter, but it
was only by the determination Of
a few that prevented them from
having legislation which would
take every vestlge of privilege
from the people. Had there been
the least idea the office could
have been abolished it would
have been done by those who, for
the several years past have been
fighting to preserve the peoples.
rights.

According to the Lancaster
News an editor who condones
lynching for a certain crime,
reaps what he has sown if he
becomes the victim Of attack by
personal violence when he criti-
cises the action OF a city council
in the matter CT purchasing a
fire truck. In other words,
Editor Cheshire because he con-
Goned a lynching in Anderson
county got what he deserved
when a magistrate who was
related to a member Of the city
council. at the point Of a pistol
struck the editor. This is a
reasoning that few will agree
with.

he WAS URGED BUT DECLINED.

I'VE are inclined to agree with
the suggestion Of the Bamberg
Herald that it is a pity that the
Hon. John L. McLaurin was not
asked to head the warehouse
commission. While It is true that
from a salary standpoint the
place is nowhere in the neigh
borhood OF Mr.. McEaurin's size,
still it is probable that he would
have accepted the position if it
had been rendered him. There
would have been no good way
FOR him to get out of it. OF
course there are others capable
Of wrestling with the big problem
involved. but we do not know OF
anybody in whom we would have
had as much confidence as in Mr..
McLaurIn. -Yorkville Enqulr.
er.
We know OF our personal know,
ledge that Hon. John L. Nc.
Laurin was urged to accept a
place on the Warehouse board,
but he would not consider it, and
took the position that he was
willing to aid those the general
assembly might tselectin any way
that he could. even ii necessary,
he would go 10 Europe at his own
expense to confer with the money
centers to procure from abroad,
cheap money and to blaze the
way for a more extended market
for the cotton product. The feel.
ins among large majority OF
the members Of the general as,
sembly was very kind towards
Mr.. McLaurin, at the same time,
he realized although he did not
so express himself. thatif he had
permitted his name used it might
have stirred up All opposition
against the scheme from an ele.
ment which is afraid he might
come back into politics, and they
knew if he did, the cake of some
politicians will be all dough.

Turkish Woms at the 1heater.

A notice which IS to be seen in one
Of the theaters Of Constantinople ef-
fectively solves the problem Of people
at the back obtaining a clear view
and is very much more radical than
the polite request made in English
and French theaters that ladies should
not mar the view Of the stage with
huge hats. The notice reads: in order
to render the performance agreeable
to all those present the management
of the theater has decided that the
spectators Of the first three rows
should recline, those Of the next three
rows be on their knees and all the
others be standing up. In that way
everybody will be able to enjoy the
play" This notice is followed by a
suggestion implying the Turkish wom-
ans lack Of romance, ut IS strictly
forbidden to laugh, for it IS tragedy
that is being performed."-Le Monde

IT IS ANYB0DY'S RACE.

There has been sent to this
newspaper a lot of literature in
the interest Of Candidate Under
derwood, together with a lot Of
campaign buttons. We have q
strong admiration for Mr- In
derwood, regarding him a great
Legislator, and magnificent
leader, at the same time, we
doubt if he can muster up enough
strength to win the nomination.
Wilson secured the influence of
a large proportion of the press
far in advance Of the other can
didates, and he has been Oh a
shot air tour for the past two
years blowing up a orable
sentiment in his behalf, thereby
getting the advantage Of Under
wood who was tied down in con.
gress looking after the duties
the people entrusted him with.
But Should it develope when the
Baltimore convention is called
to order that Wilson cannot be
nominated on the first ballot
there is a chance for Underwood,
and should this chance come we
should be glad to welcome his
nomination. The Republicans are
getting farther apart, and we
fear the Democrats are inclining
towards the same tendency; the
race for the Democratic nomlna-
ton is beginning to assume an
acrimonious condition, charges
OF bad faith, trimming and in
consistency are being made
against Wilson, this is answered
by the charge that Wall Street
is backing Harmon, and that
the other candidates are not
what they should be, so when
the convention gathers it will be
a case of the field against the
favorite, and there is no telling
who will be the nominee. It may
be Underwood, Clark or one who
has not been prominently men.

nings Bryan will be asked to

If the daily newspapers of this
State will conduct their reports
LOT the political situation free
from bias. and not inject into
these reports partisan feeling we
believe much Of the expected bit

the newspapers for the once en-
deavor to give to each Of the
candidates square deal, it would
go long ways to restore conf
dence in them.

There has been a good deal
of comment about Governor
Ble&se'S payments to Leon M.
Green from his contingent fund
and to the Rev. Mr.. Creighton
from his law and order fund.
Most of the comment has been
in the nature of criticism and
some of this criticism came be-
fore there was any information
as to what the payments had
been made for. 1t is a fact that
Mr.. Green used in his report
quite a lot of matter that had
been prepared by Mr.. Watson,
and to this extent Mr.. Green was
being paid for work that had al
ready been done. AS to what
original initiatory work VI r.
Green may have done we do not
know; but somehow we have
never been very much impressed
with all this talk that has been
going on about Green. He used
to be regarded as bright, able,
high -prlncipled young nan and
we are not inclined to think tnat
he has undergone any change OF
character. AS to what the ma
ture of Mr.. Creighton's work
might be we have no definite in
formation. If there was no way
to find out anything on the sub
ject, we might feel like quarrel
ing a few; but since the governor
announces that anybody can see
the reports on file in his Office, it
occurs to US that we might with
hold criticism until somebody
has taken a look. We are not un.
mindful of the fact that other
governors have found it desir-
able to have recourse to con6den-
tial agents, and whether we like
Mr.. Blease or not we cannot see
why he is not entitled to the same
rights as other governors

W. H. Stewart OF Rock Hill Will
not stand for reelection as Sen

art was not only an active clear.

college had in him a staunch
supporter. Whenever the oppor'

men of his calibre which makes

men that those who are not ex-

Experiments have recently = been
carried out in Germany with the OBJ
ject of discovering methods and
means for rendering walls and cell
ings capable of effective resistance to
sound transmission. One of the more
recently devised methods involves
the use under the ceiling, or parallel
to the wall, as the case may be, Of a
network of wire stretched tightly by
means of pulleys secured into ada
cent walls and not touching at any
point the surface to be protected
against sound. Upon the wire net
work is plastered a composition
formed Of strong glue, plaster Of paris
and graduated cork, SO as to make a
fiat slab, between which and the wall
or ceiling is cushion Of confined air.
The method described Is said to be
good in two respects; first, the alb.
sence of contact between the protec-
tive and protected surfaces, and, sec
ondly. the colloid nature of the com.
position recommended for the plaster

The conclusion is reached by Lon.
don journal from observation Of the
increasing number of American women
who go to Europe alone that "Ameri-
can husbands are drag on their wom-
en- folk when travelling abroad" Why
only when travelling abroad?" Many
American husbands will be disposed to
indorse the statement without the quail
flying clause. These are the husbands
who find themselves generally in the
way except when Jills are to be paid,
says the New York World. They are
those who prefer the slippered ease
of their homes to the allurements of
the cabaret show, who refuse to learn
the turkey trot, though everybody in
their "set" is doing it; who play auc-
ton bridge under compulsion, and 9th
erwise impede domestic happiness
Husbands exist as a necessary encum-
brance In the present social scheme,
but doubtless they will have to be
borne with until some automatic meth
cd is devised for making the money to
pay for automobiles and clothes and
tuition fees, as well as the rent
