Biennial sessions of the legislature would be amply nuflbient for all demands. Now is the time for farmers to plan and work for another crop. Every suitable day for plowing should now be utilized in sowing oats and breaking up land. The farmer who makes an early and energetic start will very likely be ahead all the way through. The situation is discouraging, but no man ever gained anything by moping and complaining.

The best antidote in the world for despondency is active planning and energetic work. These not only divert and Invigorate the mind but they help wonderfully to improve material conditions. Life in every department of business is made up of successes and failures, of advances and retreats. The tide never flows long in one direction, and let us trust that the year before us has rich stores of blessings for. all who honestly strive to better their During the vear 1901 the lynching spirit made an advance and the hanging spirit fell back.

Or perhaps this order should be reversed, as no doubt the spirit of lynching is due in a large measure to the laxity of the courts in punishing flagrant crimes. During the year there were 118 men hanged by due process of law, one less than in the previous year, while there were 135 men lynched without law, twenty more than in the year before. Of the number lynched 121 occurred in the South, and 107 were negroes. The curious part of it all is that only thirty-seven were lynched for criminal assault. This fact shows that lawlessness is running its usual course.

Once indulged, it breaks loose from all restraints and gathers a fresh impulse from every crime that it commits. The country will have to abandon the plea that men are lynched for only one crime. Feople have an idea that it is a luxury to lire Id town, but if they will read the schedule of taxes levied by our town council as published last week In The Ledger, they will see that it is a luxury which costs something. The present council has had a heavy load to carry. The town has been rapidly growing and with ail the enthusiasm of youth, it has undertaken big things regardless of work and cost.

The council have just carried out the wishes of the people, and we have every reason to believe that they have done this faithfully and honestly. So when pay-day comes and large amounts of money must be raised, it is neither just nor manly to blame the town council and accuse them of needless and reckless extravagance. If we intend to have a respectable town and to keep abreast with other towns, we must have the comforts and conveniences that belong to towns of respectability. We need other things yet and must have them in the near future. A good sewerage system will soon be a necessity.

Then electric cars will come, and we'll fa'l Into city ways and of necessity shoulder the burden o( city expenses Attention Veteran! The birthday of the immortal Genera) Robert Lee will be celebrated at Limestone Springs on Monday the 20th Inst.

The exercises will be conducted in the auditorium of Limestone college, and will begin at 2:30 o'clock, p. m.

The Governor's message is a lengthy, well written document, filling fourteen columns of solid type in the Columbia State. It comprises a review of the year's work of the various branches of the State government and treats in a plain manner the prominent political questions now before the people. The Governor favors compulsory education of the children of the State, and opposes child labor in the mills. This is, to say the least, consistent. If the State is to assume the duty and responsibility of a common parent, it should provide for the physical as well as the Intellectual welfare of the children.

If it should have control of the minds of the children it should also take charge of their bodies, for mind and body cannot be separated by any other process than by killing them all. This is eocialipm, pure and simple, but it is the goal towards which we are hastening the port towards which the ship of State is rapidly driving. We only hope that there may be no rock concealed below the surface on which the ship will split and go to pieces. The Governor recommends the establishment ol a soldier's home for needy veterans, and this perhaps, un. der the circumstances is about the best thing that can now be done for our battle-scarred heroes, though we haven't any idea that many of them will accept such a provision.

They will prefer "to rough it" as they did in the days of their young manhood, and remain with their loved ones in their cheerless cabins. The most of these men have families that are dear to them, and we take it for granted that no provisions will be made for families. We are not in favor of the soldier's home, if it is to take the place of the little pensions now granted to the veterans. The message deals with the dispensary as one of the fixed institutions of the State alongside of the State colleges, and takes it for granted that all will be gratified to know that the one is making mints of money and that the others are spending it. When whisky and education meet and kiss each other we are in a fair way to make rapid advances as a people.

Redisricting is recommended, and this ougnt to be done. There is no longer any need of "the shoe string" congressional districts, if there ever was; and the sensible thing to do is to group contiguous counties into the same district. Attorney General Bellinger's recommendations in regard to the best means of fighting the trusts, are mentioned approvingly, and the legislature Is urged to adopt means for the preservation of the remaining forests in the State. Upon the whole, the paper shows much thought and business sagacity and reaches a high average for such papers. Governor McSweeney is a good governor.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. Don't forget the celebration of Lee's birthday next Monday at Limestone College. Ail are invited and the veterans of the county are especially urged to attend. The meeting will take place at 10 o'clock, and the Sons of Veterans and the Daughters of the Confederacy will be out in full force. It will be worth mere than dollars can count in any man's life, to spend one day in the year in communion with the pure, lofty spirit of the immortal Lee.

There Is nothing of paramount importance demanding the attention of our legislature, and the country could get along very well for another year without a legislative session. We have Ibws, am ndmcnts, and re-DPals nilpd on ton of lwa nnHI are lost io the vast accumulations, and when we want law'- we don't know where to find it.

Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. There are many causes of getting too thin; they all come under these two heads: overwork and under-digestion. Stop over-work, if you can; but, whether you can or not, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, to balance yourself with your work. You can't live on it true but, by it, you can. There's a limit, however; you'll pay for it.

Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the readiest cure for "can't eat," unless it comes of your doing no work--you can't Song be well and strong, without some sort of activity. The genuine has this picture on it, take no other. If you have not tried it, send for rroa sampiw, its a- i greeabia taste will surprise you. SCOTT BOWNE Chemists, 409 Pearl Street, New York. 50c.
