factionalism in the Fifth district So

What is wrong with that position?
Is it not probable that Mr.. Finley, hav-
ing received a majority of the votes in
the district, would likely find just as
competent men for the position among
his majority supporters as he is likely
to find among the minority, and if man
does not stick to his friends who is
ne to stick to? But we notice from
the papers that Col. Cunningham is
probably not altogether agreeable to
Mr.. Smith. We suppose he was not
a supporter Of Nr Smith, and, there
fore, Mr.. Smith thinks that the ap-
pointee should be taken from among
his supporters. COL Cunningham is
all right. He is 4 good citizen and
gcod man and will make competent
official. We do not know whom he
supported. But we have understood
that the senator's agreed to leave the
rcstmasters to the representatives. and

Spartanburg Herald of Thursday:
The remains of Capt. Josiah Harvey

Four wears ago the late Capt. Gail

eleventh of twelve children OF josiah

Talking about the railroads reminds
me to say that told my friend Jonn
Richards of the railroad commission
that hoped they would not force the
Dutch Fork special" to go around to
the union station, even if the railroad
did not build passenger station at
Gervais street, and really there was
not much use for a station, because
the passengers when they arrived i'm
mediately went up town and when they
were ready to leave, the train was there
and they could get aboard and had no
use for a passenger station. And to
go around to the union station would
make it necessary for US Dutch Fork
people to lose about an hour of the
time we would like to spend in the city,
instead Of going around to the union
station. the accommodations On uuIs
train are all right. Let il ayone.
land then just at this time it seems
to me that it would be better 10 let the
passenger rate alone The railroads
are not getting rich out OF the pas
senger travel any way, and if they
are making any money let them put
it ii better equipment and better serY-
ice. That is the way it looks to me.

In writing very sensible editorial
on the power Of publicity and urging
the Importance of the city Of Spartan
burg doing some publicity work, the
Spartanbuorg Herald closes with this:
Don't lose sight of the fact that
publicity is power and advertising is
the use of this power. Ignorance of
this fact has cost the South much in
commercial opportunities lost. The
fellow who says he does not believe in
advertising is right in a class with
the guy who used to say there 'ain't
no such thing as electricity"
And yet now and then you will hear
a man say it does not pay to advertise.
1t pays the town and the community
to advertise just like it pays the mer-
chant who has wares to sell. And the
best medium for advertising is the
newspaper.

Mr.. D. L. Smith had a pretty good
bill for the increase, or rather the re-
adjustment, Of salaries for state Off
GERS, which had many good features.
He proposed to increase some and to
reduce others. There is no doubt that
some of the salaries are ridiculously
low, while others are too high in pro-
portion. The governor should receive
more salary, but even his is better
than the salary of the other state Off
GERS, because it carries with it some
honor that is worth while. The state
treasurer, for instance, who is re-
quired to give a bond for 100000, gets
only $1,000, and the clerk to the board
of charities receives $4,000, the same
salary paid the governor There GER
tainly should be readiustment and
the salary somewhat in proportion to
the duties and responsibilities of the
position.

discussing the 14th circuit bill. 1t
passed, second reading Tuesday with
practically NO opposition. When it
came up for final passage in the house
a motion was made to recommit, and
there was considerable debate The
bill was finally passed by a vote of
SO to so Workman and Chapman
voted against the bill and Mower for
it. 1t has been only very short time
when We had only eight circuits in the
state, and the cry was for an additional
circuit to prevent the congestion and
so stop the necessity OF special judges.
Now there are already thirteen and
there are more special judges than
ever before in the history of the state.
THE new circuit will be composed of
Hampton, Colleton, Beaufort and Jas

portunity to reduce the appropriation

1 could not help thinking while
was sitting in the nall Of the house
that while the solons were trying to
pass laws to regulate the temperature

that it would not be a bad idea for
them to start on the hall in which they
were meeting. It was so not in there
that you felt like it was good old
August day. And then coming home
on the train that afternoon the tenn
perature was fearfully warm. In fact
if the members start out to regulate
these things they will find their hands

The appropriation bill will be pre-
sented this week, so Mr. Cothran told
me. Just how it Will be possible to
cut down the appropriations I do not
see, because there is no room to do
so with all the new departments and
big amounts asked for, and yet I sup
pose they will curtail to some degree
the budget asked for the colleges, but
then there is Clemson to be taken care
Of this year, and there will not be
mucn opportunity to cut. And the
common schools are wanting more
money, and if the state is going to in
crease the amount spent on education
that is the place to spend it. The SEN
timent against scholarships and the
practice of so many free tuitions is
growing among the members.

of the time was spent in the house. ]
was not in the senate at all while it
was in session. For ten or twelve
years l spent the entire time of each
session in some official capacity in
Columbia during the legislative ses-
sion. For the past sepen years have
been there only occasionally during
each session. There have been many
changes during this short time, ana
there are many new faces in both
branches of the assembly. There are
some of the old familiar faces Of the
old guard, but not many. Some who
were in the house are now in the SEN
ate, but even in that branch Of the
assembly there are many new faces.
Senator Banks and Beamguard and
Lide aud Brice and Sharp and Black

some others have gone over from the
