Georgia women might take it all right, but in civilized South Carolina they would kick like steers. \. Our society and horse report er is curious to know how the fair creatures burdened with a superfluity of flesh are poing to accommodate themselves to the new style in dress skirts. But it poes without sa'ing that the> '11 4'git 'liar'* some how or ' other.

Kershaw county has elected an exceptionally strong delegation to the House. Both Smith and Richards are veteran legislators. men thoroughly familiar with parliamentary law and able debaters. They will have much to do with shaping legislation in South Carolina during the next two years. Years ago there was more or less prejudice in ihis county J against sending lawyers to the legislature, but it seems to have died out. Lancaster's delegation in the next General Assembly " will be composed altogether ol lawyers, the Senator and both , Representatives being prominent members of the bar. Much will be expected of these gentlemen and they will no doubt re fleet credit on themselves and their consituents. So tar ?s we have been aM ?

Candidates for Governor are even be- w iug named, with predictions asi n to their chances of success.1 a Featherstone, Lyon, Ilhett and others have beeu suggested, any is <?ne of whom, it is claimed, would (l make a worthy successor to An- *i sel. There is one name that we have not seen mentioned recent ly in this connection, and that is, John G. Richards.
