Then a picnic took e place in Charleston, which was uo 1 doubt heartily enjoyed, for it is but c natural to enjoy such a picnic, v After this Cleinson and Anderson a entertained the lawmakers and s x gate them and those who ac- t _?Ompamed them a good .,ne. All c r this is very nice from the stand- v point of pleasure, but what good to c the State was accomplished? The members of the Assembly are sup- y posed to be at work, to do some- t thing for the ; benefit of the people j. and not to fritter away the time in y idleness or in merrymaking. The ^ educational institutions which are c under State control should be in- ^ spected, bat tbe inspection sbould n be thorough and of such character H that it will supply reliable infor- g .' raation for the guidance of the e Legislators in exercising control 0 V and supervision of these institutions, t' If inspections such as made by / wt TV two prindpi B VIl ?re Kyle aod quili M \SBl ^ dtVr element ii 'nJS m are mastfTDieees of I . J hese frolicking parties were simply lseless, they might be excused on >n the ground that some recreation i 3 excusable, but instead of being 1 imply useless they are positively larmfnl. The parties, in every intance that have come under the ?bservation of this correspondent, i vere made up of a part of the 1 uembers of the Assembly, theji lerks of the engrossing department, 1 loor-keepers, clerks and a crowd of /" i t LI 1 , romen. ine vvnoie ensemuie is j < hat of a party of excursionists 'Ut for a day of care-free pleasure.: The inspections consist in looking S' t a few buildings and some tasty 11 .rounds, much handshaking, more J ating and drinking and a lot of, i 'spieling." The word spelling, J' xpresses the idea pretty clearly, j J Phe object is to obtain favorable is onsideration for the institution11 isited, and things are arranged 11 ud carried out with that object;! teadily in view, and so long as I h^se trips are timed, fashioned, 1 on trolled and absolutely moulded 1 ?ith the present object, they will ontinue to be harmful. < No matters of general interest,y uive passed into law. There seems!1 o he no question of great iin-|s tortance in the minds of the Legis-11 ators generally. Jroine few are ( isposed to make efforts to remedy 1 ertain conditions which should j* ?e remedied, but these few are * neeting with that opposition which lways come from ignorance of the * ubject and desire for attention, T ven though the attention be that I f criticism.

I rhere will be'a Jot of talk and |< things will remain as they are.! rhis is the situation as icnowap- 1 [>ears. i Senator Smith has presented a I Measure providing for high :cense, ' Phis solution of the (juestic will i iiardly receive a great deal of open 1 support at this time, but it would i je a great surprise to the people of 1 she State did they know what aDd iow many Legislators privately i ravor this proposition. The in - J? 7?rm?Hnn was nuite .a snrnrise to! ] :he writer. ] A bill prohibiting the sale of 1 jigarettes is before the Senate, and 1 viil provoke a stubborn tight. Very few believe that snch a mea- t jure would do much real good, 1 is the cigarette smokers could j >asily make their cigarettes, smok- ( ng tobacco not being affected at i ill by the bill. The members from t ;he tobacco growing section of the >tate are, so far as known, a unit * n opposition, believing that it ^ vould be a great blow to the to- ^ )acco industry of that section. One of the freaks, out of a mass t )f freaks, is the bill to prohibit c shipping in the schools. Another I loods for Ft he Old Reliable Brands f20 Per Cent.

These are mentioned simply to illustrate the nature of some of the stuff that is evolved from brilliant legislative! brains. Those who favored the repeal of the lien law last year, having been made to realize that the repeal will have no effect, have endeavored to , restrict chattel mortgages to crops j that are up and growing, but their j 1 f *11 _ il _ TF ?nueavors raueu in ine nuuse. The bill to tax timber separately trom the land is likely to receive as I much consideration as any measure I ;hat will be before this Assembly.! There is a strong and growing sentilient that the man who owns the I I ;imber ought to pay the taxes on it,; ?nd not the man who own3 the j and upon which the timber stands. A bill, by Mr Foster, making it , i misdeamor to point a pistol or ' ;nu at a person, has passed the j House and received favorable resort in the Senate. Such a law,: f enforced, would prevent many *punds and deathi. Mr Bryan has two bills relating , o the stock law exemptions in i Williamsburg. One provides a mode :or changing the line of exemption ' ? .1 mi., i euce souiu 01 uiacK river. ?ne i )tber simply changes the persons vho may vote on the exemption in ; ,he Cedar Swamp section from j 'resident freeholders" to free- j lolders.

O iC The farmer, more than any other business man, requires the X Sr services of a bank, if be manages hie farm in a systematic way. * O "While he has no need for a set of books in which to keep a rec- V O ord of each and every transaction made, yet during the coarse of Q ft a year he must pay out large sums of money for various pur- ft poses, and a record for future reference is highly important. /N It Merchants may fail to give a receipt for cash, a neighbor may X V not recall the payment of money owed, but the farmer who pays at O his obligations by check has written evidence of such payments V O which any court must recognize. OrS In the same way he has a record of all moneys received by the rt X deposit entries on his pass book. * To the farmer who desires such a record for his business, we X Sr extend an invitation to open an account with this bank.
