THE CHURCH ARGUMENT.

In the latest propaganda gotten
out by the Highway Commission of
South Carolina in favor of the twen-
ty-five million dollar bond issue for
good roads it is stated that one of
the reasons why they are crying so
much for these roads is because the
people will be the better able to at
tend church on Sunday.
It has not been so long. ago that
one of the good roads advocates was
complaining that the automobile was
taking all the church members JOY
riding on Sundays, with the result
that the preacher had to preach. to
empty pews, while the members were
visiting friends and relatives in other
places. .s .
We do not know, but we rather
suspect that, when we get all these
good roads, if the preacher gets a
whack at his congregation, he will
be compelled to 60 along with a diff
ferent party each Sunday and preach
as he rides. The churches will not be
worth while except as place to
preach the funerals of those who get
killed while joy-riding on the preyi-
Gus church days.

hear anything sounding like heavy
bombardment, they need not fear
that the town is being attacked by a
German Air Fleet. It will be only
the rattle Of mouth-musketry by the
lieutenant who has been chosen by
tire Colonel for his latest campaign.
We understand that the telephone
company will have wires connecting
Governor Cooper and Mr.. Allen Nc
Cantey with battle headquarters and
that the game will be reported to
them by hands as it progresses.
While Colonel Roche and his partner
are assuming airs of confidence,
Prof. Wilson has his boys down hard
at work: and we expect the worst.

THE SALARIES BILL.

We are still in favor Of increasing
the salaries of members Of the Su-
preme Court and Of the Circuit
Judges, but if, in order to do SO, it
is necessary to increase the salaries
Of the circuit solicitors and steno.
graphers, then we are @Aginsis"
I The solicitors and sstenSgfaphers,
especially the solicitors, are the most
overpaid men i'm the state already.
The solicitor Of the eighth circuit,
we presume, does about as much
work as the average solicitor. If he
held court every day provided by
law, the would be away from home
but nine weeks in the year. This is
proved by the fact that the law pro-
vides for but three weeks Of .crimi-
nal court in each of the three coun-
ties in his circuit other than Lau-
rens.
And as a matter of fact, he is not
called on to hold court all this time
It is a rare occurrence when a term
Of the criminal court in this county
lasts more than three or four days
The summer term has not been held
in years. Without knowing, we
guess that Solicitor Blackwell was
not away from home holding court
thirty days in the whole Of last year
Besides this his Office does moi
keep him from practieing law in the
civil courts, which is the forum in
which a lawyer makes most Of his
income, practically all of it. If be is
a good lawyer the Office of Solicitor
by bringing him in contact with SC
many people, should enable him tc
) greatly increase his civil practice
At any nate he loses nothing in this

wood Mutual Insurance Association
was here on Thursday on business fo,
his company. Mr.. Blake has been
the General Agent of this company
since its organization, and much OF
it's success has been due to his ener.
gy and good judgment. He has made
fire insurance cheap for the farmers
and has given them insurance in
many cases where they would not be
able to get it anywhere else. ]
He is carrying a full page adver.
tisement in this issue, which it will
interest the insuring public to read
The facts stated by him are worth
considering. :
There are those who at times are
disposed to criticise the mutual com.
panies, and at times there is jus'
ground for cri:i ism. Eut no busi
ness is run without mistakes being
at times made. In ORDER to correctly
judge the merits Of an enterprise
the whole of its, business must be
considered When so considered II
will be found that these mutual
companies have been the salvation
Of the farmers as well as of many
other insurers. But for them the
regulations of other insurers would
be so strict that no country property
except residences could be insured
and these only at outrageous prices.

lars. The work has been as useless
and unsatisfactory as the work Of the
cheap contractor, and in the end the
hiring of the poor laborer proves the
more expensive because somebody
more skilled must do the work over
again, and the whole expense must
be again paid.
Some people will say that the good
lawyers on the bench as well as the
less experienced ones, sometimes
have their opinions reversed That
is true. Sometimes perhaps the Su-
preme Court makes mistakes. We
are all human. But the South Caro-
lima Supreme Court Reports will
show that there are judges in this
state whose opinions are rarely re-
versed. It will be found in these re-
ports that the opinions Of some are
rarely affirmed. When you take one
volume of these reports and find it
to contain as many as seven cases
decided by single judge and all OF
them reversed, it suggests the con-
clusion that better man might be
had for the position. These better
men may not be had in some places
at present salaries as has already
been proved. : a ~
Besides, there is another reason
why we should pay these judges a
living wage for the work they do.
They went on the bench, some OF
them, good many years ago. They
left their practices, and have lost the
business which they built up by many
years Of hard work. Only in rare
instances has judge who has gone
back to the bar been able to make
decent living. The salary, at the
time these men accepted Office, was
worth in reality twice what it is now
worth. It's purchasing power was
twice as great. Therefore, while our
incomes have increased, and while
we are obtaining twice as much for
all we produce; and twice as much
for. the labor which we perform as
compared to the times when. some of
these judges accepted Office, we still
require them to accept the same
amount, and expect them to pay us
and other people, from whom they
buy, twice as much as they paid
when they quit their own business
and agreed to serve US. $500
The state, of all paymasters,
should pay living wage, especially
to those people who are supposed to
hold the scales Of justice evenly. A
cheap judge and cheap administra-
tion Of the laws of the. state and
country only tend to bring both into
the contempt Of reasonable people.
The poor man Of all the people in
the land needs a judge on the bench
with ability to see the right, and
with courage to see that his rights
are preserved. The courts have been
the bulwark Of the people for all
these years. Nobody will regret the
destruction of this bulwark nor its
impairment more than those who
call themselves the poor people Of
the state. ..- e.

street, as far as setback is concerned
but that he will try them once "a,
game" He has trimmed up Magazine
street, Lower Main, and he has been
winner at all the court house matt
nees for sometime. His standing on
Greenville street as a finished set
back player has been open to ques'
ton. but at other places he has been
the King Bee. He laughted a con.
temptuous laugh when somebody told
him that Dick Wilson had been run
ming an old field school in setback
out at his rabbit and chicken farm
near Long Cane church, and he
came near getting insulted when two
of Dicks scholars challenged. him, fol
a sitting some little time ago.
Not expecting to have any trouble
with these uneducated players, but
with a desire to elucidate some Of
the simpler matters pertaining to
the game, the Colonel went up, TAX
ing along one Of the weaker players
in his primary department. The re-
suit Of the game didn't get out by
any telephone messages sent by the
Colonel, in fact he was not seen for
several days afterwards. Since then
he has been willing to recommend
the Wilson school as furnishing
enough "units" to make it an ac-
credited institution with the Green
vile Street College. r.. IL.
Not being satisfied with his previ-
Gus experiences up that way, how
ever, he decided that the country
game which these scholars had learn
ed had something to do with the re-
suit. He accordingly decided to re-
establish his reputation in the pro-
iession, and in order to do so he
called in Uncle Jim. He wanted him
because she is the finest along the
line}s sasSwell as because he learned
to play in the spring Of the year, on
the warm pine needles, in the old
fields along Rocky River. He calcu-
lated from this that if his opponents
tried to do any left-hand pitching,
Uncle Jim would be on to the game,
and would knock home run or two,
and break up the game. =.
Expecting full nights work, he
and Uncle Jim ate hearty suppers,
and when they arrived in the front
line trenches they were surprised to
find that, on Upper Main, at all i'm
portant gatherings like this, refresh
ments are to be served. Their op-
ponents, or the one furnishing the
refreshments decided that one man
who was not hungry was harder to fill
than two hungry men, but he didn't
say so. Finally this pleasant fea-
ture of the game was over, and hos
tiilties began in earnest. The Colo
mel hadn't gone far before he found
that Uncle Jim had become "gassed'
from eating too many good things
on top Of every day diet, and the re-
suits were most disastrous.
But the Colonel is hard man to
convince. He has now requisitiohed
the services of the one time presi'
dent of the :Greenyille /. Street Col.
lege, an orator of the old school, and
friend of the poor man, and one
night during the: present. week, an:

the Killer" whose potter name is Ira
Stirling Woodhouse, has been dis
charged from the British aviation
service and has obtained a commits
sion in the Polish army. He is one of
a gallant group of twenty five former
British officers, two of whom have
Victoria crosses and have not had
enough fighting. They hope to see
more in Poland. Red himself will be
particularly disappointed if he has to
wait long.
Broke Into Aviation Service.
This sturdy youngster of twenty
three, who halls from Nevada, has not
seen much quiet life since early in
1917, when he Joined the famous am
bulance section No. II. Plotting an
ambulance around shell holes was too
tame, and so he broke into the British
aviation service as the shortest route
to excitement. Last year he found
plenty of it when he was stationed
near Cambria, and engaged in bomb
I ing and strafng duty twice daily.

was reticent. None of the young
adventures now headed toward Po-

hopes cannot be concealed. They met
at Prime Minister Paderewskis head
quarters at the Ritz and they are con-
spicuous around the Polish legation.
I'VE will be taken direct to Silesia,"
they say, where the Polish army can
not much longer be prevented from
attacking the Germans. We shall
soon cross the border into Germany
and after that we will take Danzig."
Declare Wars Impending.
It does not mar their enthusiasm to
remind them that the Polish govern
ment is pledged not to attack Ger
many. They reply that anyway wars
enough to last five years are impend-
ing. and that Poland's grand army
will cut big figure. Official circles
are silent concerning reports that a
Polish army is being. built up with
100000 men as the aim. 1t is not
denied that many British officers are
possibly being persuaded to enter the
Polish service. One story has it that
Gen. Allenby of Palestine fame has
been asked to aid Poland in the same
capacity.
In the meantime Red and his friends
hope to journey to Warsaw on the
