In Memorium Ashby W. Davenport. Atlantic Life Insurance Bulletin. It is wit/i deepest regret that we record the accidental death of Mr. Davenport, who was killed by a Seaboard Air Line train on Saturday night, December 4. While young in years, and in the service of this company, Mr. Davenport had clearly demonstrated his capacity to earn a brilliant future for himself. With the assistance of our Mr. Richardson, Mr. Davenport began to make himself felt as a producer in June or tnis year, ana ihis work has been consistently productive of a high-grade business since that time. Men- of Mr. Davenport's stamp are needed in the work, and, while the Atlantic's ranks are full of them, we feel that none of them can be snared. The Bulletin extends sincerest sympathy to the family of Mr. Davenpart, as well as to our esteemed gAieral agent under whom he served, Mr John W. Lillard. Cut Your Store Bill Down One Half Tens of thousands of farmers as well as town and citj folks cut down their store bills one-half last year and saved money in spite of generally short crops and reduced wages. Absolutely millions of dollars were saved and countless families lived better than ever before in the face of the cotton crisis and general business depression. How were these burdensome store bills ? cut down? By the real money-saving power of good home gardens, rightly planted and kept planted and tended ! fK/> con enn V>UV/U^U UJtV vvvw..

It is j speaking mildly to say that the hearc ( of every patriotic citizen was filled with gladness when they heard or read the same. We felt that factionalibiii was indeed dead and buried; we felt thai an era of progressive legislation, so long and so badly needed by our state, had downed, but abc'.-e and belond all else we felt that truly law and order would reign supreme. During the .year that has since passed, let us see what we find. As to factionalism any observer with or-' dinary discernment will see that while the declaration,"! stand by my friends," nas not Deen uiatauuy ana vwucivuo-} ly proclaimed, still Ine effort to build! ! up a personal political machine has been as unceasing as before. I will not take up space to cite-instances, but they have been apparent to the | most casual reader of an extremely I friendly press. In regard to constructive legislation the present general assembly, with the hearty approval of the chief executive, has made a beginning along these lines worthy of all commendation and approval. Notably mig'nt be mentioned the estaDiisnmein 01 me bia.it: wa wmmission and the state board of charities and corrections. If the present session will carry out the recommendations contained in the first report of the state tax commission, submitting the constitutional questions to the peonia at thp TiPYt election, enactins into law such changes as can be made by legislation, I feel sure that in a very few years we will have a taxing system. just to all, and wtych will yield ample revenue for all governmental needs. None of these recommendations are new, all of them and others equally as desirable have been discussed time and again, both upon the hustings and through the press. Through the work of the commission on charities and corrections much good is sure to follow in the more , humane, sanitary and intelligent treatment of the unfortunates. j I come now to that for which this administration stands supremely pledged?law and order. As no stream can rise higher than its source, so the great mass of the people feel t^e same respect and reverence for the law of the land ae shown by those placed in positions of high honor and trust. In its first year this administratioi has attempted to violate the law in at least t'nree notable instances. Thank3 to a learned and patriotic judiciary, two of these efforts have already been frustrated. When the general assembly, in its zeal to aid this administration in every way, attempted to usurp the functions of a constitutional state officer by appropriating $2,000 to be used by the governor for legal advice, he, had he been true to his oath of office and true to his battle cry of !n"' firmer tttviihflV^ vetoed t'llis 1CL YT aiivt ViUVi) IT ~ ? - J item, informing the general assembly j that the law of the state placed this duty upon the attorney general, it comes with poor grace from his excellency to say in his annual message that this fund has not been used, when t'ne facts are he accepted it, and. if your Laurens, correspondent stated the truth, he attempted to use it and was only stopped by Justice R. C. Watts sustaining the objection of the attorney general's office. These, being the facts, it is amusing to see you editorially attempting to convey the impression that it was a voluntary act nnrvn the governor's part in not using; this fund. You even quote in your ' co1 nmn of "State Press" items from I sundry weeklies, patting Governor Manning on the back because he hasi vindicated himself from accusations o?; his enemies by not using this fund. Both yourself and these editors know that he was stopped from using it by the ruling of Justice Watts. Therefore, he could only return it to the general funds of the state. His willingness toj violate the law was shown in his acceptance of this illegal appropriation. Apparently the state has only lost the interest on $2,000 for one year, but its loss has been far greater, for its people have learned that the chief executive must be forced to observe the very laws he has sworn to execute The second instance in which we are placed under obligation to the judicial department is in regard, to the sheriff of Kershaw county. In this instance was the sheriff, as charged, dAr^iint. in his dutv in not enforcing the law? We do not know, for his excellency constituted himself prosecutor, judge, jury, and would be executioner. Had this act of the governor stood, see what might have been the effect should the state ever have as its chief executive a man who was j striving more to gratify his personal I j ambiticn than to execute the laws of ilie stale. Following this as a precedent, lie could have removed every sheriff, in fact, every officer elected by the people, filling their places with his own satellites and thus destroy the rights of the people to choose their public servants. I come now to the third glaring violation of the law. In the fixing of the salary of the superintendent of the hospital for the insane, article 5, section 24, of the constitution reads: "All officers othere than those named in section 9 provided for in this article shall receive for their services such r-nmivATTMitirkn ac tVio owners! ?S.S#*mblv may from time to time by law direct." die general assembly had fixed thissalary at $3,000. In the beginning,, his excellency had secured the services of a physician of nation-wide reputation as a healer of the mentally afflicted. He not being a citizen of this state, under the constitution could not be appointed. Next we hear that the present incumbent had been appointed at double the salary fixed by law, his excellency pledging himself personally for this extra compensation, should the' general assembly not make the necessary appropriation. Some mild protest to this illegal procedure was voiced through the press of the state so that his excellency in his address to the general assembly, on January 14 beats# ? Cf o f ?n cr + Vi o + Vt0 dnoe CL i CliCdt. tuub iiv uvvw u w ask the general assembly to reimburse him for this extra compensation paid, but that the present incumbent's commission will expire February 15, so that if the general assembly wishes to retain the services of this pre-eminently capable r,ui erintendent it can fix his salary accordingly. Permit me to ask if you ever heard or a man Deing appointed to such a position for so short a time? Has not an alienist from another state been employed as assistant superintendent, at a salary of $3,000? If the present superintendent is so pre-eminently qualified for this position, w'ny was it necessary to # employ an assistant, and place him in charge of tins most imporiani trepan.ment? Would it not have been better for the pre-eminently qualified superintendent to have personal charge of this department and to have employed a competent business man as assistant and placed him in charge of the executive branc'n? I trust you understand I have nothing against thepresent superintendent. I would nriew the matter in this light were he my dearest friend. ! His excellency is disengenious, to say the least, when he attempts to show that fire raise in salary is comparatively small. In speaking, of the perquisites that the present incumbent does not receive he says that the superintendent had the use of a house. Is not the house still tiiere and does the state receive rental for the same? He wa? furnished lights, water, fuel. Does not the state pay a lump sum for water for all its institutions? He was furnished vegetables. Did the state receive remuneration for the vegetables the present incumbnt did not consume? He was furnished servants from the institution. Are not those ' -'i servants still there without extra cost to the state? He was furnished a carriage and pair of horses. Haive these been sold and the proceeds turned into the treasury? He was furnished an automobile. Has it been disposed of in lite manner? If these questions can not be answered in the affirmative, wherein 'has the saving in perquisites LftJUtriiLtru tuc cui.bv . Have we not a statute the substance of which is as follows: "'If any person cr persons bargain for the purchase or sale of any office, or receive any money, fees, reward or other profit or take any promise or assurance for the payment of any money, fee, reward or othe^ profit, for any office he shall be adjudged a* disabled person, in law, to have, occupy and enjoy the said office." If such is the case, is not the present superintendent disqualified under the law? Lowndes Browning. Union. Overland Automobile Given Away.
