Legislature. The week just ended can safely be regarded as the most important of the session. From the beginning Monday night there has been a manifest disposition to get down to earnest work and many important matters have been carefnlly considered and intelligently voted upon. The first act which has been ratified and duly signed by the governor was the Senate bill to regulate the drawing i of grand juries, especially in Charleston county thereby, making itpossible for the court in that county to hold its regular sessions at the ap pointed time during this month. But the surprise of the session is I the pasB&ge of the child labor measure by large majorities on both the second and third readings without debate. Every senator had fully made up his mind on the question before coming to the capital. The matter is now in the house of representatives and the outcome is watched with varying interest by some of the politicians and factory operatives on the one side and the mill men and nn/3 mntt\A.a nn 4Via tut) intuoto auu iijuvucio uu iuc other. The biennial sessions measure, which passed the senate is not so much a matter of surprise. It is necessary that the bill 6hall receive a two-thirds majority of both houses before it can go before the people in the shape of an amendment to the constitution to be voted on in the general election. It is the people, therefore, and not the general assembly who must say whether there shall be biennial cessions or not, and on them the members seem willing to shift the responsibility. A compulsory education measure also passed the senate but in its present shape it is like castoria?harmless. The imprisonment clause being stricken out and only the penalty of a fine being attached it cannot be considered a very stringent or radical measure. It is hard to foretell what disposition the house will make of the measure when it comes before it this week. In discussing the child measure in cotton mill last year the Dispatch contended then that the Legislature bad as much right to prohibit child labor upon the farms as in the mills, and in the essential principles of this compulsory educational bill the men who make the laws?the servants of the people?have arrogated to them selves the right to say that the poor one horee farmer whose limited means will not justify him in hiring labor, cannot use that of his children in assisting him to make and gather his crop. Some of the measures to be considered by the Senate are: a joint resolution to extend the time for the payment of taxes without penalty until March 31, 1903; the bill to regulate and fix the liabilities of railroad companies having a relief de- ! partment to its employee; a bill to j regulate the traffic in seed cotton and | unpacked lint cottoD; a bill to pro- I vide scholarships for post graduate i study in South Carolina college; a bill to require State and not the railroad j companies to pay salaries of the rail- j road commissioners and their clerk, j There was no morning session of i the House Monday but at the evening j session there was a very good atten- j lance. There were twenty third reading { bills on the calendar all of them be- | ing only of local importance, and they [ are now acts. The bill to regulate the sale of j ; cotton seed was killed by a vote of ' 34 to 33. " I I t The bill to amend the law which j requires publication of summons for j six weeks, was passed. This bill re3uces the period of publication from six to two weeks. The bill to make j it unlawful for any person to drive I j or cause to be driven, or in any other j . manner permit any horses, mules j bogs, cattle, sheep or other live stock i 1 to come into this State and suffer , them to run at large in any marsh, j : or forest lands or range. Provided, i This act shall not apply to persons j j who permit their stock to run on i l their own lands, or to *t>ck beirt? ; 1 To Cm I Take Laxative Brom I Seven Million boxes sold in past 12 mc driven into or out of the State for market or breeding purposes was considered. The object of the act is to make the law in South Carolina similar to that already existing in North Carolina. As the law heretofore existed North Carolina citizens could drive their stock into this State and per mit them to be fattened on lands of our citizens, but we could not have the same privilege with reference to that State. The penalty is $5 a head for each ! head so permitted to run at large, to be recovered for the ate of any one who will sue, etc. BIRMINGHAM PICTURES. They Were Mere F per, bnt They Subdued the Artist Turner. Turner, the great landscape painter, was a curious mixture of parsimony and generosity, determined money grubbing and unreckoning devotion to his art. He would drive a hard bargain one day and the next refuse to sell at any price. Intending purchasers were sometimes excluded from his gallery, and the refusal of admission was communicated in anything but a polite manner. Mr. Gillott, the wealthy pen manufacturer of Birmingham, once proved himself equal to the task of storming the castle in the teeth of the gruff artist and his doorkeeper and achieving a bargain. A book 011 Turner gives the story. Mr. Gillott was met at the door of Turner's house by an old woman, who opened the door and asked the gentleman's business. "Can't let 'e in!*' she snapped out, when he told her, and tried to slam the door. But Mr. Gillott had put.his foot inside the door and without waiting for permission pushed past the enraged janitress and hurried upstairs to the gallery. Turner met him like a spider ( whose web has been invaded. The intruder introduced himsei*' and said i that he had come to buy. . i "Don't want to sell!*' was the an- 1 swer. 1 "Have you seen our Birmingham pictures, Mr. Turner?" inquired the visitor, as calmly as if he had been received t as a gentleman should be. ( "Never heard of 'em," said Turner. c. Gillott took from bis pocket some Birmingham bank notes. "Mere paper," remarked Turner, who evidently enjoyed the joke. i "To be bartered for mere canvas," said the visitor, waving his hand to indicate the paintings on the wall. His tone?perhaps also the sight of the "mere paper"?conquered Turner, and j when the visitor departed he had bargained for several valuable pictures. THE MISSING FOWL. An Experience "With an Absentminded English Artist. ij Wills invited me to dinner one after- g noon when I met him in the Strand. 1 accepted, reminding him that as he was absentminded he had better make a note of the evening. As he had no paper in his pocket he wrote the date on his skirt cuff. When the appointed ( evening arrived I went to his studio. TJie door wus opened dy huis, anu x v. could see that he had forgotten all about the appointment. "Ah, old fellow," he exclaimed, "do not be too hard on me. The cuff went to the , wash, and the date with it. But there is a fowl in the pot boiling here," con- a tinued Mr. Wills. "Just come in and I wait a few minutes." 1 I had my misgivings, but walked in- a side and sat down upon the only chair not crowded with paint, brushes and palettes. After waiting for about twenty minutes, feeling deucedly liun-[ gry, I groaned. This had the effect of reminding Wills that I was present.! He exclaimed in a dreamy voice, "The a fowl must be boiled by this time," and coming forward lie lifted the lid of the pot and peered inside. "It is very } odd," lie remarked, "but I cannot see the fowl. Extraordinary! No one has been here, so the bird cannot have been stolen." f< Well, the long and short of it is that o nv two Inter I called nirain at the studio, noticed a peculiar odor and discovered the old fowl wrapped up in ^ a piece of hrown paper. "Ah."' said Wills, "now I know how it all happened. When the fowl was brought in ~ there came a smart visitor?Lady G.? about sittings for her portrait. I must have thrown the fowl behind a canvas and forgotten all about it. But now. old fellow, do shut up!"?London Mail. Tli** far*****.
