secure at least nucleus for libra

operation. As, comparatively speak
ing, there are hnt few libraries in
the homes of Edge6eld, the chill

in the school building. They need
especially books for collateral read

ed with books other than those used
in the classroom work. In assist

Making a Strong Fight.

Senator Nicholson has renewed
the fight which he commenced at
the last session of the Legislature
for honest elections in South Caro-
lima. He has amended the bill
which he then introduced, making
it stronger as we'll as less objec-
tionable to those who are opposing
legislation looking to safeguarding
the primary. The text of Mr..
Nicholson's bill is published in full
in this issue of The Advertiser
which will enable our readers to
see that he is fighting along the
right line. His measure and all
other efforts that are being made to
prevent fraud and dishonesty at
the polls are being vigorously op-
posed by certain element iu both
houses and it is impossible to tell
what the final outcome will be.

Alkahest Lyceum Gains Leader.

Prof. Edwin Aldine Pound, for
The past seventeen years supe in
ltndent Of the public schools of
Waycross, f.as just resigned his po
sition and has accepted a position
with the Alkahest Lyceum System
of this city as travelling representa-.
tive.
This announcement is one of the
most important that could be made
for the advancement of the lyceum
and Chautauqua work In Georgia
and the South. Edwin Aldine
Pound is himself a most successful
platform speaker and a live wire in
managing and prompting anything
that he undertakes. He has been
leader in the educational circles
of Georgia for years and his new
work will only give him broader
field in this line. For the past
dozen years Waycross has conduc-
ted one of the most successful
lyceum courses in the state, giving
from ten to twelve frst-clsss at
fractions each season, and has al
ways been self-sustaining. This
was because Prof. Pound was at
the helm there. He knows the work
thoroughly and believes in it. 1t
liz safe to say that no man ever
came into the business or into the
l.ceum better prepared to make
success of the field work in organic.
ing lyceums aud Chautauquas, than
Prof. Pound.
Waycross is planning now to
hold a big Chautauqua this summer
under the auspices of the Board of
Trade, which is the elimination of
Prof. Pounds work in that city.
He is brother of Hon. Jerry M
Pound of Barnesville, the former
State School Commissioner. The
Alkahest Lyceum System is to be
congratulated on securing such a
strong addition to their forces. -

Would Curtail Power of Executive.

During the campaign of 1912
Col. J. +. DeLaughter did not hesi-
tate to express his views upon ques-
tions affecting the welfare of the
people, always doing so with con-
spicuous emphasis whether his po-
sition was popular or unpopular.
And as liz almost invariably the case
when man is frank and honest in.
stead Of being designing and sell
fish, his outspoken policy increased
his popularity. Well, to make a
long story short, among the things
which Mr.. D"Laughter advocated
was curtailment of the carte
blanche authority that g given the
governor in the matter of granting
par,ions. He has followed up the
position then taken by introducing
joint resolution providing for an
election on an amendment to the
co .,stitution. The purpose of this
amendment is to establish board
to pass upon applications for par
dons instead of vesting that author
ity solely in the governor.
The record which the present
chief executive has made is alone
sufh lent argument for the wisdom
of Mr.. DeLaughter's resolution.
During the past three years execu-
tive clemency has been granted In
965 Cases, which is about one for
each business day of the present
governors administration. These
astounding figures furnish prima
facie evidence that the pardoning
power Is being abused. Under the
constitutionit requires IL men to
convict, then, in view of the dagrant
abuse of executive authority, the
power to annul the findings Of the
IL, who under oath pass up IN the
evidence, should consist OF more
than one man, even though that in
dlvidual be the governor himself.
Mr.. DeLaughter is working along
the right line and we hope he will
press the matter until a successful
conclusion is reached.
