DETTER FROM SENATOR MASON.
Writes of What tho Oconco Delega- :
tion IK Doing-Some Bill*.
Columbia. Jan. 31.-Editor Keo
woe Courlor: l Intended to write
you last weok, but as 1 spent tho
week-end at home I did not roach
the Capitol in time to write you and
1 decided to wait until this weok in
the hope that I might be able to
tell you something about tho Gene
ral Assembly and their work. But,
so far, nothing of Importance has
been done. Everybody seems to be
at a loss to know what to do.
A bill has passed both Houses ex
tending the time of paying taxes un
til the first of April, although the
Governor has not signed the bill as
yet.
A bill has also been introduced to
place moving pictures under a cen
sor, the object being to cut out im
moral or objectionable portions of j
the pictures. This is a bill I will
support unless otherwise requested
by my constituents, as I think we
ought to protect the youth of our
country.
The Oconee delegation has intro
duced a bill providing tho necessary
funds to pay all past indebtedness of
the public schools of tho State If
this bill passes und becomes law as
introdticed it will put all of the pub
lic schools on a cash basis.
1 have a bill prepared which I will
Introduce In a few days. This is the
bill I promised the people of Oconee
during the campaign that I would
Introduce. If this bill passes and be
comes law it will reimburse all par
ties who are damaged by reason of
?heft.
1 have been spending this week
end In Columbia visiting tho various
State Institutions. The first place I
visited was the State HoapUai for the
Insane. -''Tl?V'?c^ftee* Tf??effitfim was
gladly received by the officials and
we were shown through the entire
institution. This institution has
made wonderful improvements dur
ing the last five years. Every depart
ment is commendable.
Tho next place wo visited was the
Old Soldiers' Home-a place very
dear to me, though, in my opinion,
this place is not what lt ought to be.
lt is a shame to the sons of the Con
federacy to send their fathers to this
Isolated place to spend their declin
ing years all alone.
The Oconee delegation has passed
bills validating all the school bonds
of Oconee county. So far, no ap
pointments for magistrate or rural
police have boen made. I am at a
loss to decido between my friends,
the contestants being my friends on
both sides. I am not a Solomon, and
therefore, I am liable to make a
mistake, and sincerely hope that my
friends will sympathize with mo in
my efforts to serve all of tho people.
Hoping to bo back in old Oconee
again soon, I nm,
As ever your servant,
W. P. Mason.

JUSTICE HYDKIOK'H DEATH WELL
Necessitate New II curing of tho Gos
8otKCu.s?">-Must Review Appeal.
JudJb Hydrick's death makes nec
essaryffa rehearing 4n the Gosselt
case, Recording to a story in the
Greenville News. This hearing, says
that ywpor, may be in tho form of
wrlttofl briefs submitted to the mem
bers ot\the Supreme Court. The arti
cle says: "
TflOMijath of Associate Justice D.
E. Uydrlck, of the South Carolina
Supremo.' Court, makes it necessaiy
for . tifrt tribunal to have a second
hearltjL'Ibn tho appeal of Kenneth
Gossff.li'the young Abbeville white
imprisonment for criminal assault
upon a young white woman of Abbe
ville a number of months ago, and If
Solicitor Blackwell, representing tho
State, gives his consent, the case
will be submitted this time to the
court bf last resort without verbal
argument, to enable Chief Justice
Gary and Associate Justice Gage,
who wero not present at the first
hearing last fall, and who are still
indisposed at their homes, to pass
upon the appeal. Attorneys for Gos
sett yesterday agreed to submit their
contentions in tho form of written
brief, without a verbal hearing, but
consent to such a procedure must be
given by the Solicitor be/ore lt can
bo carried through.
At last fall's sitting of the Su
premo Court only Asoc?ate Justices
Hydrlck, Watts and Erazer wore
presont. Chief Justice Gary and As
sociate Justice Gage were ill at their
homes In Abbeville and Chester, re
spectively. The Qosett appeal, along
with a largo number of others, was
argued before the three first named,
who constituted a quorum of the
court. No decision had been rendered
at the time Associate Justice Hy
drlck died suddenly In Washington,
so that now at least throe of the Su
preme Court Judges must review the
case again. Tho two who were 111
when Ute first hearing was held are
still confined to their homes, and the
only way to got the appeal before a
majority of the members of tho court
any Hmo soon ls to submit the print
ed brief? to them. The clerk of the
supreme tribunal ls sending oui from
Columbia Inquiries to Interested law
yers asking them If they are willing
to. have rehearings by this method In
cases argued before tho threo Asso
ciate Justices last fall, explaining
that such rovlows can be hold only
upon consent ,t both sides.
With Chlof Justice Gary and Asso
ciate Justice Gage still absent, and
with Thos. P. Cothran, of Greenville,
the newly olected Associate Justice,
remnining a member of the House
of Representativos for somo drt^s be
foro leaving lt to take lils placo on
tho Supremo Court bench, Mr. Price
oxplnined thnt lt will be a good while
boforo tho second hearing can bo
bold unless both sides agree to have
lt conducted without verbal argu
ment.
Tho Gossett caso, which originated
many months ago, was ono of tho
most sensational ever tried in this
