It is a source of disappointment, and somewhat unnecessary, that the General Assembly j should have continued in session this long. The usual precedent has been j for adjournment to be had within the week after the general appropriation j bill has been passed by the House. I The Senate has now had the appro- ; priation bill for a week and is giving j it serious and mature consideration, and there has been no report on it by ; the finance committee of the Senate. The bill will, as was expected, show ' increases over what it did last year, but this is to be expected in a growing and fast enriching State, and it is [ what is found in every State and nation. Nothing has been done to revise or otherwise improve the tax system or, what is mo9t important, secure an I equalization of the assessment of prop| ercy that would be a real equalization. I More interest was taken in the Justiceship election last week than in alI most anything else. The deadlock is still on. but it i? reely predicted that there will be an election bv Thursday. I However, if the deadlock continues beyond, th- twenty-first ballot, there will be a reaajustment and that some new name will be presented. During the week four of the most important matters proposed tor legislative consideration have been continued until next session. First. The general revision of the school laws ot' the State. Second. The proposition to provide a highway commission and provide for its support by a license on automobiles. Third. A co-operative plan of advertising the State by a fund contributed in part by the State and in part by the larger railway systems of the State. Fourth. The proposition to have the privilege tax go directly into the State treasury instead of going to niomcnn Hrvlipcro. anH havft thfi G-ener ? - ? al Assembly provide for Clemson as is done with other institutions. The two measures of most general interest that have been passed by both branches of the General Assembly are the marriage license bill and the law as to notaries public. Under the terras of the marriage license law it will cost a dollar to be married after July 1. Two dollars is the new fee for a commission as notary public. Strange as it may seem, two measures that have been before the General Assembly for years have not been presented this year. No one has presented a bill looking fr? Shat-P-U7irift nrnhihifion. and no one WW ?^ww?ww I J lias ventured a compulsory education bill. mils Sweetheart as She Was Posting Letter. Roanoke, Va., Feb. 13.?Driven to desperation, J. W. Powell, of Buchanan, today killed his sweetheart, Mis9 Maud West, 18 years of age, and then turned the shotgun on himself and ended his life. The double tragedy was thought to have been caused by jt alouey. Powell, 28 years or age, called upon Miss West last night, and while at the I home met another young man. He was heard t _? make threats as he was leaving. While the young woman was on her way to a mail box to post a letter, Powell, who was in hiding on the side of the road, jumped from a clump of | /vr?

The Chaingang. | The chair.gang has nearly finished I the roadbed and embankment on j side of sue river, near Wyse's Fi**y, and will shortly move to Dm opposite | sidrt of the river, beginning in the j Peak section and will work back to the river. There is no better piece 'of [ road work in the .Statu than that iuI oPtirij- complpi M by the gang on this | side of the river. The steel bridge will be ready for I crossing by the middle of Lext week.

On Monday and Tuesday nights they delighted a Isrge acdience. Prof. Adams, the ?reat magician, is a wonder within himself | and the roles played by him alone are I more than worth the small price e.

Mr Adams is a gentleman or.'1 Lexington ever welcomes all his class. The Adams company will give a performance every night this we^k, beginning at 8 o'clock.
