Columbia, January 2:?Very little has been said or written about what the General Assembly may do at the approaching session. The Legislature convenes on'Tuesday, January 10, for at least a 40 day session. That which has attracted most atI tention thus far is the selection of I Associate Justice of the supreme L court. There are now four J ustices, B as follows: Chief Justice Ira B Jones, of Lancaster; Justice Eugene B Gary, of Abbeville; C A Woods, of Marion, and D E Hydrick, of SparBp tanbvrg. Mr Jones was elected Chief Justice after the retirement of Chief Justice Y J Pope. Justice Hydrick was the Justice elected for the fourth position, following the "elevation of Justice Jones to the Chief Justiceship. Among; those who have been men^ tioned for the new position created by an amendment of the Constitution are: R Withers Memminger, of ' ' > i iL- ftiU Charleston, Circuit juageoi me vw circuit; Thomas B Fraser, of Sumter, Chairman of the Judiciary committee of the House and member of that body for sixteen years; M L Bonham, of Anderson; Ex-Governor John C Sheppard of Edgefield, and W B Gruber, of Walterboro. Judge R C Watts will also be a candidate for the Associate Justiceship. This announcement was made today by W H Stevenson, of Cheraw. He said that the friends of Judge Watts would press the campaign in the General Assembly. The press of the State has been practically unanimous in the opinion that a fifth Justice was needed on account of the great amount of work the supreme court has to do, and also because of the fact that with five Justices there would not be a divided opinion with two on one side end two on the other of a question. Other reasons have been ad. vanced. The constitutional amendment passed at the general election in November and at the session of the General Assembly the new Justf ice will be elected. !d olcn in t ll<? ^ A IJ VI C 1C* I Ub^lVOV M?OV ?

The election i will not hold the interest that the j flection for the Justiceship will, but /there will be considerable rivalry in this matter also. It was necessary 7 - for Governor Ansel a few days ago to select a Judge - the Hon William ^ TAycock, of this city?to hold Court ' here in January on account of the death of Judge Dantzler. Of most popular interest at the coming session of the Assembly is the beginning of the new administration under the Governorship of Cole L Blease, of Newberry.

Mr Smith succeeds the Hon Richard S Whaley, of Charleston, who held j the Speakership of the House for four years. In the Senate and House there i will be elections for various posi-1 tions in the two bodies that will attract some interest. There will hardly be any changes of conse- j quence. Mr James A Hoyt, of Columbians clerk of the House. He will be opposed this year by J Wilson Gibbes, i of this city, who was assistent clerk f j of the House. There will probably i be races in one or two other House ] positions. In the Senate M M: Mann, of St Matthews, is the clerk,: and the assistant clerk is A M Lumpkin, >>f Columbia. No opposition has been mentioned so far to these.! Another appointment is the secre-' tary to the Lieutenant Governor. 1 To outline a Legislative programme j for the 1911 session would be diffi-j cult, inasmuch as there is not one big topic facing the people of the i; State at this time.

In the draft of this ?ill the following is the reason given: "In response to a resolution of the State Farmers' Union requesting the State department of agriculture to carefully investigate and examine drainage laws and draft a proper measure." The proposed drainage law is: "A bill to promote the public health, convenience and welfare by leveeing, ditching and draining the wet swamp and overflowed lands of the State, providing for J the establishment of levee or drainage districts for the purpose of enlarging or changing any natural water courses and for the digging of ditching or canals for securing better drainage or providing better outlets for drainage for tuilding levees or embankments and installing tide gates or pumping plants for the reclamation of overflowed lands and prescribing a method for so doing, and providing lor the assessment and collection of the cost < ^ J : : I ana expense ox me same anu issuing and selling bunds therefor and for the care and maintenance of such j improvements when constructed." Before any drainage isundertaken the following would be inquired into: 1.

Whether the improvement prosoeed will benefit the land* sought to be benefited. 4. Whether or not the lands that are benefited are included in the proprosed drainage district. The bond section brovides.in part: "The board of drainage commissioners may issue bonds for the full amount of the assessment not paid into the county treasury, together with the interest thereon, cost of collection or other incidental expenses. These bonds shall bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, payable semi-annually.

I want to urge upon you to get busy and burn your plant beds, and plant all the tobacco you can possibly take care of. I want you to get the benefit of the short crop that will be planted. There will be at best only 50 per cent of last vear's cron Dlanted over this side of the Pee Dee, where last year was a short crop. So, this year, you see will be just about half of last. I wonld not ask you to increase if I did not know what I am talking about. You will see prices this year higher than you have ever seen South I Carolina tobaccos. So I want you , all, especially those that live in Kingstree, to get the benefit of the high prices. I am not advising you from a personal motive, but for your own benefit. I will be in position this year to handle and buy more tobacco than I have ever bought before, and competition will be strong. Wishing you, one and all, a prosperous New Year. Yours to serve, l-5-4t J G Slaughtfr. Mullins. January 2. ? ?? Alter ine "iigciv. Somewhat of a sentation was sprung here yesterday by the arrest of eight negroes charged with selling whiskey. It seems that ever since before the holidays began, about twenty days ago, a detective has been quietly at work getting evidence against the9e parties and now that the work is completed the drag-net of the law has made its haul. While only negroes have been arrested up to this time, it is said that the detective has evidence against several white men for the same offence. Whether or not these will be arrested remains to be seen. Until yesterday only a few people knew that the detective was here, so quietly has he been working.
