Townsend, whose term expires next December, was defeated for reelection, the general assembly having selected in his stead Hon. D. E. Hydrick, senator from Spartanburg county. Judsre Ernest Gary, who is rounding out t i::' 0 years on the circuit bench, was rt iected without oppositson. Cap: Q J. Griffith was unanimously rpftlo/rtc'd superintendent of the oeni tentiary and Messrs. Jno. G. Moblejr and A. K. Saunders were reelected members of the penitentiary board. Dr. M. O. Rowland, of Spartanburg, was defeated for reelection, the successful candidate being Mr. VT. D. Kirby, a member of the house from Cherokee. Mr. Arthur Kibier, of Newberry, was elected a. trustee of the State Normal College for Negroes at Orangeburg. The South Carolina University bill was killed in the house of its friends by a vote 59 to 46. There were three amendments simultaneously placed on the desk for an additional section to the margin bill. That by Mr. Price was read first?to forbid men being employed to work against another candidate. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. Pollock then sought to get in his amendment to forbid candidates giving money for charity or otherwise except in a regular church collection. By a vote of 44 to 19 the house agreed to the amendment. Mr. McFadden's amendment sought to have the candidate] file a pledge that he would not use money or whiskey in the election and would render an itemized expense account at the end of the campaign and before the election with the clerk of the court if a county candidate and with the Secretary of State if a candidate in more tlian one county, this expense account to show everything expended for campaign purposes and to be followed immediately after the election by another statement setting forth the expense items incurred between the close of the campaign and the day of election, wliich is to be void unless these promises are carried out. Mr Ofts mnved to amend the a/mend merit by making the election of a candidate violating the act void, but validating the election of all complying with the act. The bill was then ordered to a third reading as amended. The house then took up Mr. McMaster's bill to require corporations to audit and pay claims of its employees within the State, passed to a third reading. Mr. Haskell's bill to establish and build a State armory was the next special order on the caiandar. The committee amendment to forbid the building being erected on the state house grounds carried. Mr. D. 0. Herbert's compulsory education bill being passed over for the day, Mr. Ashley's bill to abolish the bureau of immigration was taken up. Mr. Ashley thought it wrong to spend money to *'entice these foreigners here in competition with native labor." The bureau was against the interest of the masses of the people. Bringing these immigrants in to the State would cause trouble in the cotton mills, where now there was good, honest labor These people were "being fetched" here by inducements that lead them to think that dollars could be shaken off the bushes in South Carolina. Immigration was aghinst the interest of the small farmer and the masses of the people were against the bureau. Some newspapers had said that if it were not for immigration he (Mr. Ashley) would not be here, but he wanted to explain that liis grandparents came here "on their own hook." Immigration was responsible for crime "doubling and thribbliiig" in New York the past few vears since "those crowds of roughs iiave been pouring in there. Mr. Foster spoke against the bill. Mr. Patterson 'was against the bureau on the ground that it was putting out misleading advertisements. America was the asylum of the world, but as it would be wrong for the superintendent of the State hospital for the insane to go out over the State and drum up business it would be wrong for the State to induce these people to come here. . Mr. J. B, Watson opposed the bureau on the ground that it was designed to benefit a class of landowners, who should be compelled to go down in their own pockets for the expense of' bringing people heie to develope their property, rfe defended negro labor and said that would be ruined by these new comers playing on the negro's prejudices. Mr. D. 0. Herbert defended the work of the bureau. Mr. Taylor, of Newberry, thought bringing in immigrants would disturb cotton mill labor. As the representative of the cotton mill operatives lie demanded the repeal of this law, wliicli encouraged foreigners to come in and take the place of those people in the mills. The day these immigrants began to come in there will be inaugurated a condition similar to that now existing in the New England states, where there are endless labor troubles. Among the dangers likely to follow the operation of the bureau, Mr. Taylor mentioned conditions in Columbia where there was thirty-four different kinds of union, who were controlling every kind of business in the city. Mr. Prince was opposed to any measure that would throw foreigners into the mills to disturb conditions there, but he was in favor of any effort that would result in the lands of the State being cut up into small farms and occupied by white men where negroes now live. The reason the .up-country was so rapidly developed was that there were so many more white men in proportion to the = population, which was not the condition ie the low conntrv win oh wm< rleter ? loratmg in tax values. Anderson county | the past year had added in tax values over 0,000. Before debate was completed discussion was postponed until next Tuesday. A bill has been introduced in the leg- I islature by Mr. Morgan, of Greenville, which provides for high license of the liquor business with dispensary regulations and the abolition of the disj>ensarv.

The figures from Comptroller General Jont-s report are most interesting. There are out two companies row doing business in the State, the Central and Stono Companies, and they together mine 29,664 toas. The report shows that there was some stone left over from last year, the total amount shipped being 38,928 tons, a decrease from last year of 28,818 tons.

"Did you ever h^ar Mr. Lincoln's lightning rod story ?" aeked speaker CanDon of some friends who were spinning yarns, says the Washington Times. "Well, its a good one. "Mr. Lincoln said he bad attended meeting at a country church where one of the stingiest creatures on God's footstool went through the make-me-good idea he was worshipping the Saviour. The minister asked for a free contribution to enable the church fathers to buy a lightning rod for the edifice. "Surely you are willing to leDd to the Lord,' said the minister.

"The love of beauty," he said, "is not so firmly planted in the people's minds as it shcuid be. Things only that are useful are considered valuable, beautiful things too often are regarded as unimportant. "This popular idea of the ueeful's unspeakable superiority over the merely beautiful may be illustrated by a happening in a barber shop. "A barber, in cutting a young man's hair, snipped off a piece of his ear. "The young man leaped from the chair. He cried in anguish and horror: " 'Ob! you have cut a piece of my ear off.r "But the barber answered in a patronizing, soothing way, as one speaks to a child: " 'Sho! Don't carry on so, boss.
