7RIEDA HEMPEI
JOINS EDISON

"The most richly endowed soprano in
America" is what the critics call Miss
Hehpel Of the Metropolitan Opera. A true
artist, her ambition to have her voice pre-
served in all its splendor outweighed all
other considerations: She has Joined the
Edison group of stars. Henceforth she
will sing for the only instrument which
can Re-Create her superb voice.
Miss Hempel heard Re-Creations Of 9th
er great artists; noted their superiority to
anything she'd ever heard before and de-
cided to investigate. She went to the
Edison laboratories; made Recreation;
then submitted It to the searching trial Of
the, tone. test. She herself sang in direct
comparison with the instrument. If you've
ever heard her voice on talking machines
you can conceive her joy in hearing it Re-
Created with such fidelity and perfection
that no human ear could distinguish artist
from instrument. It was enough. There
and then she resolved that henceforth the
instrument for her voice was

INCREASE THE SALARIES.

fhere Is movement Oh 1oot W
increase the salaries Of state officials
( We are III favor Of the movement
: The salary Of the Governor Of this
state SHOULD be at least six thousand
{ dollars, and no state official who is
! worthy to serve the state should be
paid less than three thousand dol
,lafs. II is d shame that we have neg
Rieeted the matter as long as we
have. It is estimated that the in
creases asked Tor would not amount
to one-twentieth ftone mill in taxes,
but whether this be true Or not, the
state should not ask her officials to
serve without adequate pay.
But while other officials are being
paid what their services are worth,
the legislators should not forget that
there is, nothing more dangerous
than 4 cheap administration Of the
law. For years the judges Of our
courts have been underpaid. There
Il not q first rate lawyer in the state
who makes as little as the amount
paid a circuit judge; or justice of
the Supreme Court. Most Of the
lawyers are men without means. The
profession is not sought out by
those men who desire to become
rich. For that reason when a law
yer is elected to the bench it is nee
essary to pay him a sufficient salary
to enable him to live and care for his
family.
While the legislature is providing
for other state officials salaries COM
nensurate with the work to be per-
formed, they should provide for the
payment to every circuit judge and
to every justice of the Supreme
Court salary of at least five thou
sand dollars per year. The District
Judges of the United States Courts,
who do not work as hard as our
judges, have been receiving six thou
sand dollars per year, and ten dollars
per day for expenses during the
time they are away from home hold
ing their courts. It is now proposed
to increase the salaries of these Of
ficials for. the reason that, the amount
now paid is not deemed sufficient to
obtain the best talent in the profess
sion for these positions. ..
The State of South Carolina needs
men for the bench of as fine talent
as does the United States, especially
on our Supreme Court: The ability
.of the men who have served upon the
bench in this state has been one of
the things on which we have always
justly prided ourselves. We are a
vastly richer people now than ever
before; there is much more litigation
than ever before; and there is ev-
cry reason why we should not neg
lect our courts and the men who dis
pense justice throughout the state
