as the South Carolina member of the
special committee organized by the
Washington headquarters of the
Southern Cooperative League, to
draft a bill aimed at the destruction
of lynch law, which will be substitute
ed for the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill,
now before Congress. The Southern
league opposes the Dyer measure on
the ground that it is unconstitutional
and in taking the lead for a bill that
will more clearly meet the special
Southern committee, one member
from each Southern state. The aim Is
to have the South take the lead in the

No Excuse For Increase in Price,

manufacturers and dealers would
not be justified in increasing their
prices because of the wool rates in
the pending tariff bill, Senator Will

in a letter replying to a protest
against the tariff.
eff any such increase in price -
contemplated by manufacturers and
retailers of clothing," said Senator
Willis, CONSUMERS ought to under
stand that there is not the slightest
justification or excuse for it in any
tariff rate in the pending bill. Tie
unfairness and absurdity of claim
ing that the new tariff rate on raw
wool justifies an increase of SIS per

fact that the total amount on raw

of the suit, would be ninety nine

roPsoIL ROADS

If any argument were needed to
support u argument of Monday
for care of the roads now being
built in this county, it could be
furnished by the roads from Ware
Shoals to Greenville. These roads
were constructed just as the roads
of this county r now being con.
structed. They were evidently well
built. To a person who was doubt
full of the value of the topsoil
roads they furnish evidence that
these roads are of a more perma-
nent nature than some have
thought. The conditions of these
roads leads US to believe that by
the expenditure of a reasonable
amount of money each year, and
by constant care and attention,
these roads may be made very sat-
isfactory.
Without this care, however, the
roads will not be satisfactory. On
the way from Ware Shoals to
Greenville one strikes stretches of
these roads which are badly wash
ed, and where the wheels of the car
Jump out of one hole into another,
causing a constant humping. In
other places where the roads have
been cared for, where they are
scraped and kept smooth, the roads
are as satisfactory as when first
built.
AS suggested, they present a
study in the upkeep of good roads.
Those charged with this duty might
we'll take a ride over the roads in
dicated. The time would be well
spent. Lessons can be learned
which will be of immense profit to
him who undertakes to keep up the
roads here or elsewhere.

No, neighbor, the young lawyer of
fair promise, with family ties and
with some regard for the future will
not be found who is willing to serve
the state for the salary now offered
a circuit Judge. Besides men of ripe
experience at the bar, who have
learned to serve, and who are not be-
set by schemes for personal advance
ment, are the men most able to dis
pense justice on the bench. We may
them from some of the bur-
dens Of the office by allowing them
to live at home and to preside in
their own circuits, and after ten
years on the bench, we might even
provide that they be listed as super
numerary on the bench, and be al
to retire on full pay, subject
to the performance of such duties as
they are able to perform.
There is nothing quite so unsatis-
factory as a cheap brand of justice.
