Grange Simmons, president of the State Board of Health, in his report to the governor suggests that the*State have a pure food law, to co} operate with the national law, to pre :, vent the adulteration of drugs and tvijo- idaiiih IUVU L lVUUUUOt AAI&0 nvuAw Vt* * ' be a good step and we believe that ^ fV the legislature will consider the sugP gestion of the president of the State Board of Health. We have on our table the Christmas aswfe edition of The Carolinian, published by the students of the South Carolina University. It is neat and chuck full of good reading matter and shows deap study on the part of its editors. ; r It is one of the finest college journals published in the South and we congratulate the management on getting ||||v * out such ai excellent journal. Solicitor Timmerman has issued a letter to the members of the general Sjp assembly from the fifth judicial circuit, calling attention to the congestf ed condition of the dockets as far as the criminal cases are concerned. He J;. . cites some interesting figures which shows that the conditions should be remedied. It-is indeed well for the | ' Soliditorto do all iar his power to bring about a change to relieve the situation, but the graat trouble is the tardiness of the laisratedk not having their cases ready wh^p the court meet#! There, should be a law made requiring lawyers- be ready with c-; it-: ~?T--_ C-i LHCir CdStro W-UCii U>U11 is ^.aucu, auu until something is done in this direction we don't believe that the con|Mr \ gested dockets will be relieved. Again we assert the trouble is with _ the lawyers. The South 'Carolina delegation in H |% Congress are working hard to get a ? sab-treasury in this State, and the present indications are they Will suc??*1 ceed. Congressman Legare wanted of course, to have it established in Charleston, but rather than jeopardize the chances of getting it in the | State, he joins Congressman Lever in pulling for Columbia, thus making fe: > the delegation a unit. Lever never loses a chance t) help his State and : $ the district he represents must appreciate him. It would not surprise us ||ixfv in the least to see him made the sucI - . ce8sor of United States Senator Asj bury Latimer who has a seat still in, that body, but who has developed into a very artful tax-dodger.?Mannihg Times. jfc No, indeed, Congressman Lever c never lets an opportunity pass to do something for his State. The peo%[.* pie oi his district fully appreciate his f services, and when the time comes for promotion they will gladly put him up. "We do npt know if he inp tends running against' Senator Lati- ' mcr or not, but should he decide to ij so, its dollars to doughnuts that he ? will be the next United States SenajgT tor from South Carolina. I To tJss Cotton Stalks For Making Sagging Gaffney, Dec. 23.?Mr. J. L. Daniels is canvassing the town, soliciting subscriptions for the purpose of organizing a company to manufacture bagging, paper, etc., from the fibre of the cotton stalk. He is meeting with gratifying success in obtaining subscriptions. He has already secured a patent for the machine for manufacturing the product. Christmas? Yes. Is it Christmas? Yes; on every > side you can see dgns of the holidays. The shoppers began early la9t week, * . and from early dawn 'till dewy eve, . the streets were thronged with people eager to buy. The merchants all did a fine business, notwithstanding the I red tag sale at the J. W. Long eld stand, conducted by Mr. Tony of Johnston. But Monday was the day ?&; ~ of all davs, and ' while the weather f ;A;. was extremely disagreeable, the mern-: chants had the biggest trade on rec: ^ ord. ? Lexington is the place to buy, not only at Christmas time, but every day in the year. Marriages. Mr. A. F.
