THE LEGISLATURE.

It is an easy matter to criticise
and a thing that anybody can do,
though the Record would always
rather accord praise than criti-
cism. This paper was one of a
number to make some criticism
of the legislature during the first
days of the session, and the body
deserved some criticism at that
time. However, the lawmakers
got down to business after that
and began to enact some con-
structive and beneficial legisla-
ton, and during the last half of
the session there was little COM
plant made of the work of the
body as a whole, from any
source, and the Record is glad to
say that the legislature deserves
much more praise than criticism.
1t will go down in history as one
of the best legislatures on re-
cord. 1t cannot be termed as
extravagant nor can it be con-
sidered niggardly in it's appro-
priations. In the house there
was a bunch of members who

RANKIN TURNPIKE OPENED
YESTERDAY.

The rebuilt Rankin turnpike
was opened for travel yesterday,
according to announcement made
by President ]. D. Gordon of the
Kinds county Board of Supervi-
sors.
In making the announcement
Mr.. Gordon said he wanted to
warn all persons travelling the
road to be careful when going
over Parish bridge, as he per-
sonally thought that unsafe.
''Just warn people," said Mr..
Gordon, TO be cautious in going
over the old bridge, which | be-
lieve is insecure. !"
The new turnpike is built of
concrete foundation, and owing
to the work that has been in
progress for several months, the
highway had been closed to
traffic. The remainder of the
pike will be graveled, but this
work will not interfere with pub
lie travel.
''The, newly rebuilt concrete
pike is about as near perfect as
it can be-" was Mr.. Gordon 4
remark after having officially in
spected the road.

were jokingly called the tight
wads," who pulled back against
appropriations, but it is perhaps
we'll enough that they did, and
held down those who were in
clined to be too liberal in their
ideas at this time, when econo-
my should be rigidly practiced.
With the governor pulling one
way and seeking to dominate
perhaps too much, the legisla-
ture had a rather difficult road to
travel at times, but they seemed
to have reached the end in such
a way as to rebound more to the
good of the state than to its dis
advantage. Some legislation has
been enacted that if successful
in its operation. will no doubt
remedy some evils that have
heretofore existed and that will
put the state on a much better
basis, especially as to the raising
of revenues. There is no disput-
ing the fact that, notwithstand-
ing a goodly number of the MEM
bers were young and inexpe-
rienced, the legislature has made
a splendid record, it as a whole
being composed Of intelligent,
capable and progressive men,
who performed their duties con-
scientiously and efficiently. The
