Says tbe Colombia State : "t harleston's good sense In continuing tLe R>rvlceHOf Congressman Elliott Is proved by tbe succexM of ibat gentleman In securing the pnsHage ot a joint resolution appropriating |#0,000 to tbe government exhibit ?t tbe Cbarleston Exposition. Wn doubt whether an other mm could bave worked so great m change In tbe altitude of that body toward Toe Kxpoaiitoo. It will be remembered that iHMt session tbe Senate paused a slrnl ar bill bat tbe House would uot entertain It." It Ib too Btrong a statement that Col Elliott was the only man tbat could bave carried tbe measure through the House, bui that exaggeration Is perm tiled to Toe Stale, which has a very fine affection for our Cm grassmen, tbe more prssewortby tbat he Is one of those horrible cold oug? ur houi ha? abhorred. But tbe point ttie State conceal* lo hyperbole Is nevertheless a good one. namely that ibis matter wae entrusted to tb? proper band* at this he?sloD and was carried to success, whereas last session It failed chiefly beca >se an unnatural direction was given to It. Tbe Exposition appropriation bill wac a Charleston Interest and should have been in the bands of tbe Charleston Representative. By some remarkable perversion of Judgment tbe wbole mailer was put In charge of Senator Tillman, not only to the exclusion of bit colleague In tbe Senate?who should bav< been called equally to lis support and could have given it most valuable furtherance? but also was given into tbe bands of one 01 Tillman's lieutenants In the House, practical ly to the abutting out of Congressman Elliott from it* direction. All fallb was pinned by The Exposition lobbyists to tbe undertaken of Congressman Latimer, with tbe result tbai tbe measure was defeated. Now ibis year tbe matter was left in tbe natural and normal management of the Coo gretmman from the district lmmedlateh concerned, in tbe House,and theSenaie were pro. perly enlisted In support of tbe measure, with valuable assistance of tbe Senator from New York. The measure bus gone through, there, fore, practically without opposition. W* have been informed by very excellent authority Ibat a prominent Republican leader in tbe House declared that he would not conneat tc tbe passage of tbe Charleston bl'l If It was to be made merely an advertisement ot and a credit for Tillman, as it anneared to hf at tbe last session. Hod the measuro been presented in tbe House under tbe same aus pices this year which controlled li last year. tbU gentleman would bave opposed It and probably would bave brought about Its defeat. With tbe matter in charge of Representative Elliott, of course, it appeared In Its true character of a general interest or a community represented by the Congressman presenting it, and there was nothing In it to arouse political antagonism. All of which is stated for the purpose of instruction to such as bave these matters In charge and allow themselves to be swayed from tbe right paths by personal predellc lions or prejudices. L. W.

August Kolin iu News aud Courier. Columbia, January 19.?This i? Lee's Birthday, but bhiug Sunday has gone by without any special obaer vauce. The lawmakers so far hav< made a good record. It does not take rad cal legislation- nor does it reqnirt hurrah or talking to the galleries t< gain popularity at home. It takes conservative and pulieut work, am the political graveyard is of demagogues, while those who survive are, tr a large extent, the solid men who work and who are not carried off their feei with the tide of temporary excitement. There is much important businessl.i i?< *vi a lr nre Hi iu ufiooi/\n a m{ IUI LUC iawuiaaoio into ov ooivu utiu the pressure may obviate much of the unu8ual waste of time. There. Is no rea ou why, with due diligence, they should not maintain their record and go home at the eud of a thirty-day session. SO SPECIAL LEQISLAATION. The emphatic decisions of the Supreme Court ought to eliminate agreat deal of work that the General Assembly ordiuarily undertakes, such as fixing the road tax for each county and the salaries of some brauch of the county government and so on. As a result of the decisions recently filed it is plain that the General Assembly will Have to pafs a jury law that will apply ; to the etitire State, a uniform county government bill, an omnibus countysalary bill and other general Acts. If these measures are fully matured there will be a great saving of time now and in the future. THE QUESTION OF CHILD LABOR. The child labor bills are likely to be the bone of contention at this session. Those in charge of the measures are more confident than they have heretofore been, while those who oppose any legislation affecting the cotton' mill interests expect to carry their point. Last year the House, after a very hard and serious fight, killed all bills afiVcting the cotton mill interestof the State. This session the Senate bill together witn me remaining House bills, will be taken up. They have all been set for nn early hearing. The committee baviug the bills iu charge has given the cotton mill interests an appointment for a hearing on January 18. THE ELECTIONS. Great interest is taken in the coming elections for positions in connection with the Stale dispensary. If the three directorships were for a board to direct the internal affairs of the Government there could not be more interest. There was an effort made to force early elections for the dispensary positions and while there was apparently good reason to hold the election and be done with it, the House has declined to agree to the Senate amendment fixing Tuesday afternoon for the electious, and there may be considerable delay ; although the outlook just now is that the elections will be beld during the early part of tbe present week. The following are tbe candidates now meutioned for the State board of control: For chairman, L. J. Williams, T. W.'Stanlaud. Members, H. H. Evans, A. F. H. Dukes, Horace Bomar, A. H. Dean, Sr, L. VV. Boy kin, J. A. McDermott, JB. H. Tbeus. There is also a spirited contest for the two vacancies on the Penitentiary ilirectory. The candidates are Messers VV. li. Love, W. D. Maun, J. O. Wingo and W. C. Vincent. mere seems 10 ne no opposition to the re-election of the incumbent members of tbe various boards of trustees. The election of Judge is not exciting special interest. Mr. Burke has retired from the contest in the 1st circuit, and left Mr. Charles G. Dantzler without an opponent. In the 3rd circuit the candidates are Messers P. O. Purdy, George T. Gallatley and T. B. Frazer. There is mention of another name, but it has not yet been formally aunounced. All of tbe other Judges will be re-elected without opposition. CANDIDATES IN STATE PRIMARY. There is a good deal of hotel and committee room talk about the approaching primary, and numerous members have been making notes of t Iwyoa /? U? aA../4> ujuog tt uviu IL1CJ CAJJCUt IU UC UttUUI' dateB for State offices. Here is a list of men talked about as potsibla candidates. Govenor : M. B. McSweeney, James H. Tillman. W. J.

Wolling, W Hovd Evans. Govenor McSweeney has not auth orized the mention of his name as i candidate for re-election, but then seems to be a belief among the Legis lators that he will run. ANTI-TRUST LEGISLATION. The General Assembly will probabl; have ruauy bills before it relative t< trusts. Isow that the matter is in th Courts the disposition is to let it re main there aud have the Courts dt cide the issues involved. The member know that the litigation could not b in better hands than Mr Bellinger' r and they are willing to let him do th be-tthat he can. There have already been several bill presented bearing upon the trust is>sut and yesterday Mr. DeBruhl offere* ti>e following bill: i- Section 1. Be it enacted, etc, Tha e from and after the approval of tin's Ac - no permit or license shall be grantei y to any foreign business corporation t 3 locate or do business within this State % and anv or all nermit or licenses here t after granted to auy foreign busines t corporations to locate or do businee within this State are hereby declare< to be withdrawn, revoked and of n< effect from and after the 1st day o April, A. D. 1902, and no foreign busi ness corporation shall thereafter b< ' permitted to locate and do business ] within the State under the charter o \ any other State, or auy Territory ol | this Union, or any other foreign coun ' try; and any such foreign business cor' poration violating the ternfs ot this I Act shall forfeit to the State, upon th< suit of the Attorney General, tiie sum of five hundred do lars per day for eacl: * day such corporation ruay bepo locatec ; or doing business. Section 2. That the term "business ; corporation," as herein used, shall InI elude all kinds of corporations excepl charitable, religious, educational, sure1 ty insurance, banking and quasi-pub lie corporations, loan associaiious und ' trust compauies. Section 3 That from and after the approval of this Act any foreign corporation, of whatsoever character, organized under'the Jaws of any other States or Territory of this Union or any country In treaty and amity with the United States, for a purpose recognized as lawful by the statutes of this State, may become a domestic corporation of this State by complying with all the requirements of citizer s of this r3i?ie ttpp|>iug iim auiiarrr; jrroviuea that it shall appear to the siftisfaclion of Secretary of State, or with any other office empowered to grant charters on behalf of the State, that any foreign corporation, seeking to obtain a charter as herein provided, has removed, or attempted to remove any >-uit, in which said corporation was or is a party, benuu in the Courts of this State to the Federal Courts, or ha* located or done business within this State more than sixty days prior to the filing of the stipulations heretofore required by Seciion 1,466of the Revised Statutes of 1893, or has violated in any way the laws of this State, such charter shall not be granted. Section 4. That all Acts or parts of Acts inconsistent with this Act be, and the same are, hereby repealed. There will be the usual tight over the proposition to repeal the "lien law and the economists will have their say about the appropriations for the various State colleges, but it is not likely that anything unusual will be done. A KEDISTRICTING BIIX. The general disposition is to pas9 a redisricting bill. The nreHent dlstrlts q ro nncaliufnntnrv nnrl toopa nn I? agreed upon because of the necessities of tbe time. Exactly which of the pending bills will be adopted it is hard to say, but the chances are that some of the features or arrangements will be taken from the various bills aud that a measure satisfactory to most of the members will be agreed upon. The disposition and desire is to have Columbia in a district separate, and distinct from Greenville aud Spartanburg, and Charleston and Beaufort seem to be auxious to part Congressional company.

So we are to have an Isthmian Canal at last. It will seem odd to have a ses <?ion or congress witnout ueoates on that subject. The scheme is three times a9 old as the nation that is to carry it out. * The report of the Isthmian Canal commision is prefaced by an interesting review of the history of this project. The early explorers, as is well known, thought that they were going to be able lo sail from Europe westward, -traight to India. When they found a continent in the way, they thought for a long time that there must surely be some natural passage through it. But within seven years after the discovery of the Pacific by Balboa, the idea of connecting the two oceans by a ship canal had begun to take shape. In 1520, justone hundred years befoie the Pilgrim* lauded at Plymouth, Charles V, ordered purveys for such a canal to be made at Panama. The project was revived by another royal decree in 1534. The Tebuantenec, Nicaragua, Panama ami Darien routes were all urged just a9 they have been nearly four hundred years later, In 1780, during the American Revolution, Nelson was engaged in naval operations against the Spanish territories at Nicaragua, and he anticipated almost the very words of the advocates of the Nicaragua caoal at the present day. He wrote in one of his reports: In order to give facility to the great object of government 1 intend to possess the Lake Nicaragua, which for the present may be looked upon as the inland Gibraltar of Spanish-America. As it commands the only water pat's between the oceans, its situation must ever render it a principal post to insure passage to the Southern ocean, and by our possession of it Spanish-America is divided in two. In 1814 the Spanish Cortes voted to authorize the construction of a canal for vessels of the largest size, but circumstances compelled Spain to relinquish the enterprise. As soon as the Spanish-Americans h?.l HPcmpfl their iinlpnendHitfin thev promptly turned their attention to the canal question. In 1825 the young Republic of Central America notified the United States that an American company was ready to undertake the construction of the Nicaragua canal, and urged the conclusion of a treaty to promote the scheme. The interoceauic canal quesiion was one of the chief subjects of discussion in the Panama congress of 1826. At that time the Republic of Central America had entered into a contract with the sanguine Americau company, the forerunner of so many others. The company agreed to begin work within 12 months, if possible, but at any rate, within six , months afterward. That was just threequarters of a century ago, and the canal is still patiently waiting.

Chnrncter the Deciftlvc Factor It is an admiable thing, a most necessary thing, to have a sound body. It is even a better thing to have a sound - mind. But infinitely better than either ; in it to have that, for the lack of which ' neither sound mind nor a sound body can atone, chancier. Character is in t the long run the decisive factor in the life of individuals and of nations i alike. sometimes, in rignuy putting the stress that we do upon intelligence, we forget the fact that there is something that counts more. It is a good thing t ? be clever, to be able and smart; but it is a better thing to have the qualities that t find their expression in the Decalogue f and the Golden Rule. It is a good and I necessary thing to be intelligent; it is ; a better thing to be straight and decent t and fearless. It was a Yale professor. Mr. Louusberry, who remarked that i his experience in the class-room had i taught him "the infinite capacity of ' the human mind to withstand the introduction of knowledge." Some of you preachers must often feel the same way about the ability of mankind to withstand the introduction of elementary decency and morality. A man must be honest in the first place; but that by itself is not enough. No matter how good a man is, if he is timid he can not accomblish much in1 the world. There is only a very circumscribed sphere of usefulness for the timid good man. i DU, ue?iue uclug uuu^^i, a Luau una got to have courage, too. And these two together are not enough. No matter how brave and honest he is, if he is a natural born fool, you can do little with him. Remember the order in which I name them. Honesty first; then courage! then brains. And ail are indispensable; we have no room in a henlrhy community for either the Knave, the fool, the weakling or the coward. You may look through the Bible from cover to cover and nowhere will you find a line that can be construed into an apology for the man of brain who signs against the light. On the contrary,*in the Bible, taking that as a guide, you will find that because much has been given to you much will be expected from you; and a heavier condemnation is to be visited upon the able man who goes wrong than upon his weaker brother who can not do the harm that the .other does, Because it is not in him to do it.?Presi dent Theodore Roosevelt. "Hell nod Who Will be There." It is said that a local preacher up in Arkansas aunounced from his pulpit a Tew Sabbaths ago that on the following Sabbath he would preach on the subject of " Hell and who will be there." It is further said that on the following day he received letters from two saloon men, two butchers, one groceryman, one ice man, two coal dealern, one baseball umpire and 49 delinquent subscribers to the local paper notifying him that if he dared to mention their names in his sermon they would withdraw their support from his church and sue him for damages.?Exchange.
