Columbia. Jan. 29.--Representative
julius :. McInnes. of Darlington, is
introducing In the house of reprcscn-
tatives next week a bill to repeal the
ao. Of 1915 prohibiting tipping in
South Carolina, commonly known as
the "anti-tipping law" The bill has
been drawn and will be introduced
probably Monday night, when the
housel re-convenes.
The anti-tipping law is commonly
regarded as a nonentity i'm the state.
IL has never been observed. it is
said, and there has never been a
conviction for it's violation. 1t was
passed by the legislature of 1915, but
tipping has been as rampant since as
II ever was before that year it is
caid. IL has heen said that tipping
was never more common than dur
ing the war, despite tn, law.

Both inexperienced

A contemporary points out-what is un-
doubleday true--the misfortune of having
a governor. elect take Office at the same
time the newly chosen Legislature cen
venes. 1t does not make for harmony. eff
fciency or leadership. The governor is as
fresh to the job as are the legislators, an |
the latter know it. They generally give
little heed to the executives recommended
lions, discounting them as largely Informed
which in fact they often are. The advice
contained in the message of the retiring
governor is almost invariably better con
sidered because founded upon two years of
informing experience. But this messagsi is
a swan song. 1t represents the last\ Off
cial utterance of one pbout to go on the
shelf. The retiring governor has no op
portunity except the spoken word to gNe
force to his ripened conclusions. And the
new governor has no ripened conclusions
to Offer 1t would be vastly better If the
biennial sessions of the Legislature could
be deferred full year after the election of
the members, giving them chance to
study the task ahead Of them and also al
lowing the new executive to get into har-
ness and learn something of the big busi-
ness he has been called upon to direct

Renewed discussion ~as to whether it is
possible that the average Of human life
can be increased to one hundred years is
interesting but of no great value. OF
course there are few whom it would be
an advantage for the world, to live on ard
on, even beyond a century. Then there
are few whose early death would be the
greatest favor they could give. Between
the two are the great majority of whom it
can be said that they are Of not much ad-
vantage or any great disadvantage either
way. Probably the best advice that could
be offered is to so live that our neighbors
and friends would not object seriously If
we should live to reach the hundred year
