Charleston News and Courier. ) Senator Mason, of Oconeo, sprung something of a surprise on the Sen ato to-day. The point of it was that i the State of South Carolina and the people of South Carolina aro not broke by a "darned" sight. His res olution is rather striking and unusual and rends like this: "Whereas, tho Sonato has had nu merous resolutions of a distressing nature presented before it; and, "Whereas, such resolutions are cal culated to mislead tho public ns to our real condition; and, "Whereas, the State of South Car olina is undoubtedly hurt by the low prices of its products, still tho farm ers and other classes of citizens,while feeling depressed, are not yet broke. "Therefore, be it resolved, that no further resolutions of a depressing and pessimistic nature be received in tho Sonate, but that like resolutions bo forthwith rejected and not consid ered." Tho Senate had about passed the resolution hy a viva voe? vote when Mr. Christensen asked what it was all about and had the resolution read a second time, and suggested that it had better go over. Under the Sen ate rules one objection carries a res olution over until the following day, and the resolution will, therefore, he considered at a later day. Senator Johnstone inquired if Sen ator Mason was a farmer, but the resolution had gone over, and no dis cussion was in order. Senator Mason stated that his grandfather, his father and he bad all been farmers, and that thero were nothing but farmers In his family. Senator Mason In conversation said that ho realized that the farmers, In common with every one else, did not havo a bed of roses just at this time, but that they were far from being "broke," and even if they were "broke," there was no uso to be pa rading that fact to tho public. As n matter of fact, both the Senate and | the House to-day met to receive new i bills and to go through the technical requirement of declaring the official vote for Governor li. A. Cooper and Lieut.-Governor Wilson G. Harvey. There were a bare quorums present in either branch, as it was already known that the usual week-end re cess would be taken to-day. The House will meet again on Monday evening and the Senate to-day agreed to meet at ll o'clock Tuesday. IiOCAL ITEMS PROM SENECA. Baptist Church Recipient of Two Handsome (sifts.

MASON WRITES, Hus Received Favorable Considera, tioii in Committee Assignments. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 17, 1921. Editor Keoweo courier: Tho Oconee delegation readied tho Capitol o. k. and are feeling line. We aro stopping at the Colonia Hotel, and will bo very glad to have any pf our friends who may bo in Columbia during the Cession, call on tts. We will feel somewhat slighted if they do not. Nothing of much importance has been done yet. Tho greater part of tho weok has been taken up in organizing and making assignments. d, as your Senator from Oconee county, must say that I am very proud of tho consideration given me on committees. Tho hold-over Sen ators, as well as the now Senators, have boon very nice to me. A bill has been introduced in both Houses to extend the time for pay ing c?unty and State taxes until the 1st of April. Think 1 will support this bill in the hope that it will be a relief to the distressed conditions of niy friends in Oconeo and the State at large. Senator Alan Johnstone, of New berry county, has Introduced a bill to regulate cotton acreage in South Carolina, and I, as your Senator from Oconee, will support tho bill. In other words, I am in favor of any legislation that may come that points to tho agricultural interest of oui State at large, i want to say Jusl here that we are being told by some professional members of the Gen eral Assembly that certain bills thal point to the relief of the farmers wil! not be eonstitutional. Then we ought to change the Constitution and make provisions in the Constitution foi some good laws that will be constl tutional. I am not down hore to tesl tho^CflnsU^Uo^ hore to represent tho best intoreSU of South Carolina in my humble way and especially Oconee county.

Ono Who Was Interested. Editor Keowee Courier: The announcemnt of the Sweeney Auto School of Kansas City, of the enrollment of Messrs. Sims and Hunt interests me-not that I am in any way connected with the yoting gentle men, but as an old student and grad uate of the K. A. S., I am always glad to hear of South Carolina boys enrolling. A man who knows moro about au tomobiles and tractors than E. J. Sweeney, prosldont of this great In stitution, has got to bo born and reared. If a man doesn't get what he goes after when ho entors this school lt Is because he doesn't try. I would not exchange my diploma for the price it cost me. The general garage and repair man "kicks" on going to school to learn the business. There would be more satisfied customers if all the repair men were Sweeney graduates, for ho would not have to pay the supposed to-be mechanic for four or five hours' work trying to Hud out what is the matter-if ho happens to stagger 011 the trouble at all. Mr. Sweeney doesn't mess you up with a bunch of books. Ho has every thing necessary to teach the busi ness. Ile doesn't only teach ono how to do a job, but tolls and proves to him why lt should ho done that way Wishing these young gontlemon success and that I will have tho plea sure of/meeting them some time in the future, I nm, very truly, (a reg ular reader of The Courier when at home,) Luther Volrath West^Unlon, Rt. 1.
