The Legislature. j
I The morning aud eight sessions
are still being held by both branches
and already over 450 bill?, resolutions,
etc., Save been introduced and
of tbis number 110 have been finally
disposed of; 68 being killed outright
and 42 sent to the Senate from the
House. There are also 52 other
bills that received their third reading
in the House on Monday. The
Columbia State is authority for the
statement that the General Aesem
I
bly, just proceeding this one, presented
1,150 bills in two jears and
that record will doubtless be kept up.
The House has decided to create
an insurance department; killed the
bill"employing the several counties
| of the State to issue bonds to build
I permanent highways and also the
j bill to extend the time for the payof
taxes.
Every dispensary bill which has
come up in the House at this session
has been killed, but there are a number
of others which will be presented.
The House rejected Mr. Pollock's
bill to provide for additional
profits to accrue to the State public
school fund, and Mr. Holman's bill
to provide for the election of dispensers
by the people.
Mr. Toole has a bill to require the
State Board of Control to reduce the
capital stock of the State dispensary
to the credit of the school fund; Mr.
Pollock has another proposition to
require the directors of the dispensary
to buy from the distilleries in
South Carolina as from outside
parties instead of by the present
law; Mr. Aull wants to re-organize
N
the constabulary with one- chief and
seven lieutenants for the seven congressional
districts, etc; and Mr.
Logan, of Charleston, wants high
license, under dispensary regulations,
for the seaside metropolis.
The bill to tax dogs has not yet
been brought out in the House, but
it has many advocates. Another important
measure is the proposition to
rt quire licenses for the shipping of
oysters out of the State; Mr. Gause
also wants to prohibit the exportation
of Bhad.
There is an unfavorable report on
Mr. Rainsford's bill to provide for
the sale of the State farms; likewise
on the marriage license bill of Mr.
Ford, but Mr. Bunch's bill on that
subject fared better; and an unfavorable
report on Mr. Doyle's bill to
prevent treating on election day.
The House will have several rail,

of the House when the appropriation
Dill comes up, and there are

and the common schools. A great
many bills provide for the issuiDg of
bonds in school districts ftr the purpose
of building school houser.
Tnere seems to be au awakening of
interest in this great cause.
There are a few bills affecting the
mill industry. Mr. Me Master wauts
to make the mills responsible to employes
for injuries received in the
milh; there is also a bill to require
all corporations to pay oil wee?l\.
This would apply to railroads as well
as to cotton mills and would be a
radical change.
The House has developed no real
leadership, but is a body of sensible,
sober men who will not rtfisct discredit
on the State by freakish legislation,

Therefore be it resolved, that we

was always willing and ready to lend
a helping hand in any good cause
and work for the Master.
That we humbly bow in submission
to His will prajing that He will
raise up others to take her place.
That a copy of these resolutions

The health of this community is

We have been having plenty of
rain and the farmers are getting behind
with their work.
The singing school at St. Peter's
church is flourishing under the management
of Mr. J. E. K. Kyzer,
The people hereabout are hauling
their cotton seed to Lexington and

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Mr. W. H. Hnr* left for P.-rry
| yesterday. He will re open his
school today.
Miss Djliie Suelgrove, who has
been workiDg in one of the cotton
mills of Columbia for sometime, is
now at home."
Mr. A. L. E*rgle and daughter,
Miss Qjilla, went to Columbia on
business last week.
The grain crops in tbis section
are looking fine. The farmers do
Dot give the attention to: their grain
crops that l hey should. The land
should be well prepared and a sufficient
supply cf fertilizer put ou the
land. Our opinion is that all laod
that is to be sown should be ploughed
from eight to ten inches deep and
then the grain harrowed under. In
this way the graiu is not likely to
freeze out.
Every section of farming country
should have a farmers' club. The
furmers should meet and discuss subj-ccs
that would be of interest to the
farming class of people. They ehould
get a supply of books and have a
library. In this way all the farmers
that were members could get a nice
line of books on farming to read at a
small cost. We would be glad to
hear from other correspondents on
this subject.
The road from here to Leesville is
in a very bad coudition. We can
never expect to have any better roads
until there is some permanent work
done on them.
The Saluda chaingang was on our
road last summer and did the road
more harm than good. There could
be plenty of rock hauled from this
section to make a permanent road all
the way from here to Leesville.
It seems as if there would be more
economy in building a permanent
road than in always doing so much
work on the road and then it being
almost impassable every winter.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Mr. Editor, I guess by this time
you have chased down the last delinq.
jnt subscriber and now have socks
on your feet and a shirt on your back
and can sit down and muse on the
joys of being an Eiitor.
I called at the office while you
were away and found the Devil very
busy about his master's business and
wearing his usual pleasant manners.
Many of our people are going into
the tobacco business. Mr. Sam
Crout will plant 9 or 10 acres. My
notion is that while there will be
money in it there will be many
worms. Our farmers are stirring

A Surprise Present.
Last Thursday, there was shipped
to me, by parties unknown, a beaut:?
ful twenty dollar roll top office desk.
The detective was put on track and
soon located the guilty parties in
Peak, S. C. It deveioptd that most
of them were members of Mt. Herman
Evangelical Lutheran church.
In fact, the officers, superintendant,
organist and all were implicated.
They all plead guilty and were
