KHAT SOUTH CAROLINA'S JUNIOR
SENATOR IS DOING.
That was an eminently proper
?md timely amendment Senator
Latimer succeeded a few days
:?go in h aving inserted in the post
c-fhce appropriation bill, whereby
patrons of rural free delivery
routes are to be allowed the priv
iiege of furnishing their own mail
Noxes. There was never any jus#ice(or
reason in making a person
pay $l.f>0 or more for a box that,
it is said, can be made for fif
leen cents.
Senator Latimer was not our
choice lor the position he now
iiolds, but we are free to confess
that he has done some good work
since his entrance into the Sen
ate. He is not so much in the
limelight of publicity as is our
distinguished senior Senator, but
there is 110 doubt about the fact
that in a quiet way he is rendering
the country valuable service.
In a newspaper interview a
?ay or two ago Senator Latimer
l.unself reviewed his work at the
present session of Congress, as
f)l lows:
"In the committee on manu
fietures I helped to frame the
yure food bill which passed the
.Senate. The hill amending the
immigration laws, reported from
the committee on immigration,
of which I am a member, has
yas.-sed the Senate, and I wa?.jccessliil
in having incorporated
in the bill the substance of
my amendment providing that
i.Oimshtp companies bringing
*nv forbidden immigrant to thi<
country, when the grounds 01
the rejection of such immigrant
could have been detected by a
competent examination at the
pf-rt ot embarkation, shill transport
such immigrant back to the
country from which he came
free ot cost, and shall pay to the
Oovernment twice the amount
received for bringing him over
re. We passed the agricultural
appropriation hi 11 a few days
.ago, and I succeeded in retaining
in the bill the item ot $244,
l>?>0 lor the distribution ot seeds,!
. nd also secured $'20,000 tor the
i
improvement of roads, $20,000
for making surveys preparatory
l*> draining the swamp lands of
p e State, and $20,000 for the
purpose of gathering agricultural
statistics. I secured in the
Senate the adoption of an amendment
to the postoffice appropri- j
ation bill permitting tlie patrons
of rural mail routes to erect
their own mail boxes, thus putting
a stop to the present practice
of requiring the farmer to j
buy patented boxes from favored ]
firms at fancy prices This i
amendment was rejected by the <
committee, but I made a fight
on the lloor of the Senate and
won. 1 am on the committee on
public buildings and grounds, I
and have secured the passage
through the Senate of a bill
carrying an appropriation ol
$75,000 tor a public building at
Anderson ; and 1 now have pending
before that committee bills
r~- i: t !i J:.. \ : i
iui |>uuuu uuiiumi?s ill
Chester, Greenwood, and Sum
ter, and also for the enlargement
of the United States Court
House at Greenville?on all ol
which I expect to get favorable
action in due course.
' I secured the passage through
the Senate ot the bill creating
the new judicial district for the
western part of the State, and a
number of bills for pensions and
private claims."
That's a pretty good showing
for one session, and the end is
not yet. Of course it is understood
that Senator Latimer has
by no means abandoned his plan
to obtain national aid in the
building of public roads.
ROCK HILL'S RAILROAD.
Hurrah for Rock Hill ! That
town is going to have something
else besides a street sprinkler.?
It is going to build a railroad of
its own, which is to be a connecting
line between the town and
the Seaboard Air Line, tapping
the latter at Speucer, a point between
Catawba J unction and liar
mony station.
The business men of Rock Hill
are thoroughly in earnest about
the matter. At a meeting held
by them last Friday the sum ot
I $65,000. was promptly raised
toward the construction ol the
j proposod road, which is to te
'known as the Rock lliil Railway,
j Mr. W. 8. Lee. Jr.. of the Southern
Power (Jo., who wa* at the
(meeting, subscribed $10,000. to
'the capital stock, which is to be|
1 $125,000.
The following gentlemen sub-i
scribed $5,000 each: John (J.

something in the paper and when they call in to buy be
"JUST OUT," or show them a different piece of goods
and try to make them buy what their judgment tells
