We find the following quotation from a statement made by Senator Hall, of Cherokee county, in regard to the appointment made by the governor of supervisors of registration for /iAnnlr T f fi AATVIC tVlQf nAVPfTl Af 1 lua l tuuiil/j. 11 WWI Blease did not appoint the men recommended by the senator, though he says the appointees are good men. Then Senator Hall undertakes to say what the law requires, as follows: "The law requires the governor to appoint the supervisors by and with the consent of the senate, if in session, and if not in session, then the apportment to be made subject to the j consent of the senate, if in session., Although I sent in the names of Mit-: chell, Harris and Jones long before i the senate adjourned, so that the gov-j ernor could make a legal appointment | ? - . - : that would be confirmed by the senate, | yet the governor deliberately waited j until the senate adjourned so that he i could make a recess appointment, and get in men not recommended. "Under the law, the old members j hold over until their successors are; duly appointed and qualified. The' new members are not duly appointed j and can not be until the senate con- i firms their appointment." We have been under the impression that Senator Hall was a good lawyer, | and sufficiently prominent as a law-! ! yer to oe mentioned in connection with the judgship in his circuit, and j we quote this, wondering if he really : believes that his statement is a prop-, er interpretation of the law. The statute does say that these appoint-1 ments must be made "with the consent of the senate, if in session," but it does not say that "and if not in session, then the appointments must be made j subject to the consent of the senate, | if in session," but on the contrary the; law says, "If not in session subject to its approval at its next session."' The law would be absurd if it said, as Mr. Hall states it. "and if not in ses-, I sion, then the appointment to be made I subject to the consent of the senate,; if in session." Therefore, it seems very clear to us' that as the governor had the right un-l der the law to make the appointments : by the 15th of March, and did not make them until the senate adjourned, that the appointments are legal and that the appointees are duly appointed. subject, of course, to the ap- j proval of the senate at its next ses- j sion. It is passing strange how partisan politics can warp the judgment of good lawyers and cause them to make statements that are almost absurd. We do not mean by this to say that we endorse or condemn the action of Governor Blease in the matter of; these appointments, but certainly if we can understand the English language, he is acting within the statute as it is written. nurrv t v<'i?ri<<IITAV There has been a good deal of com- j ment about Governor Blease's pay- j ments to Leon M. Green from his con-j tingenr fund and to th-e Rev. Mr. I Creighton from his law and order fund. Most of the comment has been in the nature of criticism and some of this criticism came before there was any information as to what the payments had be>?u made for. It is a fact that Mr. Gr^en used in his report quite a lot of matter that had been prepared by Mr. Watson, and to this extent Mr. Green was being paid for work that had already b-een done. As to what original initiatory work Mr. ~ "U ~ ^ TIT* r? r? rvt ! ureen may nave uune uu nV.,[ know; but somehow we have never been very much impressed with all this talk that has been going on about Given. He used to be regarded as a j bright, able, high-principled young j man and we are not inclined to think that he has undergone any change of character. As to what the nature of j Mr. Creighton's work might be we j have no definite information. If there j was no way to find out anything on the subject, we might feel like quarreling a few; but since the governor onnnnnpps that anvbodv can see the' cwmvv^wvwk./ ? reports on file in his office, it occurs to us that we might withhold criticism until somebody has taken a look. We are not unmindful of the fact that other governors have found it desirable to have recourse to confidential agents, and whether we like Mr. Blease or not we can not see why he is not entitled to the same rights as j other governors.?Yorkville Enquirer. The above from the Yorkville En o />nn? quirer is a vex~y seusiuic auu , servative view to take. So far as our j information goes, Mr. Green was looked upon as a very capable newspaper man until h? was appointed a colonel: on Governor Blease's staff. In fact, j we think the Columbia State and the i News and Courier both considered him! in all respects a first-class newspaper j man. It is unfortunate that partisan' politics would lead metropolitan daily newspapers to such extremes as they j have gone in this matter. ] We do not know of the work which Hoon anri hem? done by Mr. AJLCiO WVV1A Wiiu -w 0 Green and Mr. Credghton, but as Gov- j ernor Blease states, the reports are | on file in his office and are open for j inspection to any citizen of the State, j And the Legislature for a number of years has placed at the disposal of j the governor $5,000, to be used in his discretion, in the enforcement of the law. This same sum has been used for the same purpose and by other j governors, and frequently to accom-j plish results the names of those who are employed are withheld from the public. In other words, the. fund has ' been used in many cases in the me- i ployment of private detectives. We i do not recall any question being rais-' ed before as to the expenditure of this fund by other governors, and it is I raised now for partisan political pur- j poses. We do not know who were ap- j pointed to do this work for other gov- j ernors, but it is pretty certain that j they employed their own friends, at1 least, friends to their administration, to do the work. A Birthday Dinner. On March 21, 1912, (putting in the year because somebody might thank j the writer in ye^rs to come) about 30; or 40 relatives and friends met at Mrs. Laviiiia Kibler's and helped herj enjoy her 85th birthday. The guests did not want "Aunt, Vin-e" io be in the kitchen all day,. cooking tor her compar.v, so they took; xv xl i dinner, a 'ot :t, a.'oi.g wun mem,. and had "Aunt Yiuifi" er.t with them, i at her own house. She is the only surviving child, as 1 we say in tracing kinship, of John I Riser. Her grandfather was Martin ! Riser, who was not quite old enoughj tn hp a Revolutionary soldier; but | I his father and brother Adam were in : the great and successful struggle for j freedom. That Revolutionary soldier, j it is thought was from Germany, and j no one seems to know his name. He ! settled, it seems, near Pomaria, 011 j land now owned, some of it, by Mr. I Will Bedenbaugh. His grave is said j to be there, and the place is known as "The Old Riser place." Mr. Jno. D. Shealey now owns a part of the Riser land. I "Aunt Vinie" is the ninth of ten i children. Her mother was Barbara; Anne Zeigler. The names of "Aunt Vinie's" father's children, and whom they married are as follows: William, married Betsy Berley, Betsy married i Adam Berley, John married Lizzie Rikard, Hartweli married Happie Kinard, Anne married Alph. Bundrick, I George married Minerva Piester, Adam married twice, but don't know T ?* - - - T?/-w'! ton ine names, ijavima m<nucu u<.-iw?| Kibler, .las. A. married Cornelia Bus-! by. All these are dead except Lavinia, Cornelia and the second wife of Adam, living in Washington city. "Wal tor, not mentioned above, died when a boy. "Aunt Vinie" has lived the life of noble widow-hood since her gallant husband fell in battle, the battle of the Crater, at Petersburg, Va. She j was left with several children, and j had to struggle to keep the wolf fromj the door; but she succeeded. She! never got rich, but brought up her i children, and lived a beautiful Chris-: tian life. Her children's names are as fol-; lows: Lillie, Willie, John and Fannie, j Lillie was Adam Aull's first wife, j John, after growing up and marrying,1 was accidentally killed by a log cart.: Her house is about a hundred years j ~ - * m 3?Tr:.. ! old, and was Duiu oy r reuencis. run- > ard, who sold it to Geo. Hipp, father of Ed. Hipp, deceased. Mr. Hipp sold it to "Aunt Vinie," together with a \ good deal of land, just after the Civil j war, for 60 or 70 dollars in gold. It is | adjoining her father's old place, where; she was raised, and where the late; Jas. A. Riser was born, brought up,, and after spending his life there, buried near. In addition to neighbors, the following guests were on hand to bring congratulations: Mrs. Martha Bickley and son of Hilton; Mrs. Jane Hill, of Hil ton, who was onoe Mrs. John KiDier; i Dr. Cal Kibler was there from Atlan-; ta. Several others could not get i there because the Southern railway j was disabled because of high water. "Aunt Viriie" remembers some in- j teresting things about the old times.1 She says she was a. little girl at the time of, and attended, the sale of old Rev. Wallern. At that sale her sister Betsy had a beau who took Betsy and herself to a table and set them up to ; persimmon beer and cake. The old negro that served was "Old Aunt Millie," a free negro. That sale must have been after Mrs. Wallern died, and not just after Rev. Wallern's death; as he died before 1S20. The! writer wanted to know who bought i i the books, so that he could find valu- j able history, and other information i he would like so well to have, in order to preach a historic sermon at St. Paul's; but she does not know anything about Mr. Wallern's books. 11 Let it be said here, if any reader | can put the writer on the track of historic information about St. Paul's, j which he does not have, he wou ld be j glad to receive a card or letter oil the ; subject. He wants to know how the | church came by the land it owns, when the congregation was organized, where did Wallern come from, when j did he begin his work as pastor here, j what other churches did he serve, did he serve as pastor till death, did he leave any children or other relatives, who followed him as pastor,.and who next, and next?

Young: men are absolutely inca able of political wisdom; it is the fruit of time and cannot be extemporized from the young ebullience of the brain like a brilliant lyric poem or a dashing novel."
