seemeth good.

Phillips Brooks wrote once: There
is contagion in a sweet and beautiful
character, for health is contagious as
well as disease. We are all the time
giving to others either wholesome or
unwholesome moods-poisoning thei'
atmosphere with doubt and suspicion,
or clearing it with hope.ulness and
good cheer" And that is true. The
all-wise creator has placed something
wiShin each one that tells him whether
he has done the right or not And
whenever that voice ceases to speak
YOU had better take heed. There is
something wrong. 1t does not,:matte-
> much what other people say about
.7cE. or even think about you. but what
can you say about yourself and what
do you think about yourself when no
one is around and you are all alone
communing with your own soul. James
A. Garfield said once. 1T doesn't
matter much what other people think
of me, but it matters tremendously
what James A. Garfield thinks of me-
And George Washington-you have no
doubt heard of him-gave very ex-
cellent recipe for worry about what
people were saying and thinking about
you when he said: "If anyone speaks
evil o. you, so live that no one will
believe him" Think of these things.
They are worth your while to think
about. But let me tell you something
else to think about at the same time. !,
If you are living and basking in THE
sunshine and have no concern for
are Indifferent to welfare of your Most
unfortunate neighbor-and the whole
world is your ighbor-who lives in
the shadow, then you are not living UP
20 either one of these precepts. i just
want to make you think little.

Prosperity. happiness, peace Of

and they should go to their club meet

who favor free and open discussion
of all political questions and allowing
all white men the privilege of voting
in the primary TO abolish the coun-
ty-to-county campaign means the de-
struction of the primary and the re-
turn to the rule of the old time oil
garchy or so-called aristocrats. AS l
say, personally, it makes absolutely
no difference to me what is done. II
the county-to-county campaign is

if he were present. will have to do
this to reach the people, because GER
tain newspapers, notably The Colum-

from me unless | pay for it, as was
evidenced in the campaigns of 1910,
1912 and 1914, and even lately, in my
Boston speech, and in my platform,
a few days ago. If they publish cold,
malicious lie on or about me, | have
10 pay to get their own lie corrected
in their paper. That's fair, isn't it?
So. do away With th@ campaign and
the unknown man, who becomes a
candidate, will have the same chance
to get his views before the voters as
SNOWFALL will have Of not melting
in hades. Therefore as I say, per-
sonalIy it would not injure me, but
would be a great injustice to the voters
of the State and an outrage upon their
rights, and it would also be great in
justice to the unknown candidates for
the county-to-county campaign to be
abolished.
am sorry to have taken so much
space in my reply and you are at
liberty to publish only such parts OF
it, or all O, it, as you see fit. I nave
always heard it said, 1T amt no harm

SENATOR BANKS DISCUSSES
STATE INSURANCE LAW

Senator Banks, who was present
while the interview with Senator Nc
Laurin, published in Fridays Herald
and News was being given, said that he
was with Senator McLaurin on his
Northern trip, at Senator McLaurin S
request. to aid him in these negotla-
tions, and that he was satisfied with
the result of the trip In connection
with the insurance question it might
be we'll, he said, to call attention to
what had been done through the Sta-e
sinking fund commission.
About fifteen years ago there was
enacted a law, known as the DeBruhl
law, authorizing the State Sinking
fund commission to carry forty-five
percent. of the insurance on Stale
buildings, and providing that when
profit of two hundred thousand dol
lars was accumulate that this depart
ment of the government should carry
this insurance for the State free O:
charge. At the last session Of the
legislature there was bin introduc-
ed to provide that the activities of this
department should be extended to
carrying forty-rve per cent. Of the
insurance on public school buildings
in the State, and enlarging the profit
fund to one million dollars. Mr.. David
H. Heans, clerk of the Sinking Fund
commission, appeared before the fin
,ance committee of the Senate and ex
planned the operations of this depart
ment, and from him the following in
teresting facts were obtained:
During the 15 years OF operation O.
the insurance law there were prem
iums received amounting to two. hun
dred and twenty thousand dollars,
only twenty thousand dollars, Of TWO
OF which were paid out for five losses,
leaving a clear profit on business
o. two hundred thousand dollars. In
other words for every ollar paid in 80
cents remained as profit and ten cents
was paid out for losses. This was
very interesting information to the
finance committee of the senate, and
indicates the possibi tiles Of an eco::-
omical management 0. insurance af-
fairs in the State, which would be
we'll for thoughtful men to consider.
In discussing the securities offer
ed through the State warehouse sys-
tenn, with the governor OF the Federal
reserve board in Richmond, he stated
that one of the difficulties of that
office had been the carelessness and
lack of system which had been com
mon among warehousemen in the
South, and he was unstinted in his
praise OF the remarkable work done
by Warehouse Commissioner McLau-
rim in providing a thoroughly satfsfac-
tory negotiable receipt protected az

In reply thereto, if you will excuse
me. will take the questions up back

AS to your third question, l am not
opposed to the county-to-county cam
paign. but favor it.
AS to your second question, am IN
favor of going before the people as

Of political henchmen can bride my
tongue or prevent me rom speaking

wish to hear me. am absolutely op-
posed to a newspaper campaign.
Now, as to your first question, as to
ny idea in reference to the abolition
Of the county-to-county campaign this
wear. [ beg to say that my first idea is
that it is a scheme because some peo-
pie are a raid to face their records in
county-to-county campaign. My
second idea is that it IS an effort ON
the part of certain newspapers to give
them the opportunity to publish any
kind of a lie and then reuse to pub
iish the correction when the demand
is made on them as has been frequent
ly done. l presume that would have
less to lose by a'ho!ishing the State
campaign than any other man per
sonaly because am thoroughly
known throughout the State of South
Carolina, even to the children; every
body knows me and know what l
stand for in politics. Therefore, it
would not be necessary for me to 90
around over the STATE stating my po-
sition on public questions, but it would
be very unjust to the unknown men
in politics, not only in this campaign,
but in all others, to deprive them Of;
the privilege o. meeting the people
face to face it would certainly be
manifestly unfair to the people Of the
State to attempt to, deprive them OF
the privilege of seeing the candidates
face to face; of Judging what manner
of men they are and of hearing them
express their views personally. The
Old crowd who used 10 control South
Carolina would meet in their county
seats, fix up a little slate go into a
convention and fore e it down the
throats of the people, whether they
wanted it or not, and, if the people pro-
tested, they would be told, "if you
don't support this ticket the niger IS
liable to come in Then, the State
crowd would meet in Columbia at the
Columbia Club, take few drinks O:
mean liquor, light up cigars and fix up
a slate for all State offices; go into a
self-packed convention and nominate
# (their ticket and force the white
people of the State to support them.

was given the same privilege to say

BIG GAME IS INCREASING

ing the past winter. shows a general in

According to the recent report. there
are S.SIl elk ID the state, an increase of
Il per cent over the proceeding year;
i,is2 mountain sheep. an increase of 5

l26 silver tip bears, an increa ,e of / Der

The decrease in the number of ante
lope is ascribed by forest officers to the
fact that the antelope range is almost
wholly without the national forests,
making the estimate unreliable. Ii is
believed however, that the number is
gradually decreasing, due to the fencing
up Of former range.
During the past three years 275 head
of elk have been shipped into the state
from the region of the Yellowstone
National Park. through cooperation be-
tween the biological survey, railroads.

foresters, these shipments have result
ed in the growth of a much heartier in
