News Notes Along
PickenS Route ;

Tae very unfavorable weather
still continues, and this has
b ZEN cne among the worst days
&ha5 we haYe had. 80
January is. almost gone and
farmers are getting somewhat
restless about their farm opera
tions. After the daily routine
duties are performed about the
house and barn they spend some
time reading and posting them
selves on the workings of our
new state government and ex-
pecting the great benefit prom
ised therefrom. Particularly
are we keeDiug apace with our
great solons now assembled at
the capitol. The move that is
proposed to be presented to them
to make the term of Office of
auditor, treasurer and superin-
tendent Of education four years
instead of two, we do not favor.
The life and usefulness of man
is too short. Let us follow the
slogan of a candidate last sum-
mer: Equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges to none. Besides,
the bill has a little tone of mon
archy. The old time democracy
is good enough for me. So if
this measure is passed let US
drop the question of compulsory
school attendance.

A bill to encourage industrious white
farmers to acquire their own real es-

by W. N. Graydon Of Abbeville and
been given a favorable report by the
Judiciary committee. The purpose of
the bill is for the state to assist worthy
white men to obtain real estate or to
get money to improve lands lying idle.
The bill eliminates the danger of negroes
acquiring too much farm land, as they
are even now doing in some sections,
by providing that the benefits of this
legislation shall be extended to qualified
electors-and then only to persons of
good moral character.
