ADDRESS BY Mr.. LAMAR.
Ernest Lamar delivered the follow
ing address on Legislation. an Asset
to the Cotton Seed Manufacturers"
which was we'll received:
To the thoughtful man who has
kept in touch with the modern trend
Of legislation, both state and federal,
and especially to one who has had OPP
portunity to observe the legislative
mill in operation, there must be cause
for mature reflection. To him it
seems to appear that only by eternal
vigilance can business and industrial
liberty be preserved and maintained.
In the earliest history of our great
government, one of its most eminent
statesmen, President Jefferson, de-
clared that that government which
governed least was best. He main
tanned as rule of legislation that
government was morally without au-
thority to deprive the citizen Of dol
lar. unless it was necessary TO an
economically administered govern
ment: nor was it morally authorized
to pass laws which impose restrictions
upon the alienation of private prop
erty. restraints the exercise or the con-
duct of business, unless necessary to
the support of the government, or a
police measure necessary for the pro-
lection of society. In these latter days
we have drifted far beyond the salu-
tory principles of the past, so that, in
this way this day, only the ultra credu-
lous look to the constant stream of
legislation for disinterested legislation
based on TIE principle of equal rights

opposed to constitutional rights, is
certainly opposed to human experience
and reason, and found utterly impos-
sible of enforcement. The realization
of this truth brought home to the
minds of all their farmers customers
should make them our natural allies
against arbitrary, unjust and invidious
tax laws.
With a firm and loyal support of
and cooperation with our legislative
committee, legislation in the future
will be more of an asset to US than
in the past. and at all events, not a
liability.

Took His Own Life

of the candy, emptied the contents
of the inside and replaced them with
a third OF an ounce Of strychnine;
then.swallowed the candy as he would
have taken a pill. No burns were
found in his mouth. His hands
we're drawn tight, giving the only
evidence of pain, for the body was
lying naturally when found.
He had been to Elmo ON Sunday
night and returned home about II
o'clock. He is a popular young man
of that community and his friends
say that he showed no signs Of des-
pondency. His brother has no idea
what the motive of his brother was
ia committing suicide. He gave no
reason in the note he left. Whether
or not the suicide might have re-
suited from disappointment in a love
affair is not known. His brother
and friends are greatly puzzled.
DIR. S. J. Chaffee, coroner, was
called from his home at Talmage
Yesterday "a sc'S an inquest. lhe
coroner's jury after close examina-
tion gave out the verdict as suicide
by taking strychnine.
John Linder Jr. was 26 years
old and was an ambitious young
man. He had property to the valut
of $1,000 which is to be divided
among his relatives.
The funeral is to be held from
the Baptist church south of Dillon
at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon
