Wednesday, February 6,1SG7. That was a brave, manly speech oi Congressman Lever, when he arose in his place the other day, and pointedly told the House and the country that Speaker Joe Cannon was the one man p responsible for the failure of the Ajpf . palaehian and White Mountain forest reserve bill to be considered on its ' merits m the House. It is refreshing ?f". in this day of Democratic subserviency to the party in power, to find a . yonng Democrat who yet owns his || soul, and refuses to "bend the pregnant hinges of knee that thrift may follow fawning." It is all the more pleasing that this man, who defies the heaviest weight in the Republican party is the modest, mild mannered, polite little fellow, who is the idol of the people of Lexington county. Some 01 US nave seen urns yvung ^ man when feelingsran high, and we can imagine how those "black eyes must have flashed as he hurled defiance at those who attempted to close I his month when he began to make it too hot for the Speaker of the House. The press of the country, North and South, is loud in its praise of the bold, aggressive work of Congressman Lever, and this speech is the one distinct sensation of the session in the House. It means that Mr. Lever has impressed the country with his courage and his patriotism; and hereafter his place in the esteem,of the country everywhere is assured. It is a triumph for our own boy, and-we are justly proud of him. |j| Gov. Ansel has announced that he : ' . would comply with Mr. J. E. McDon:: aid's, request and would issue the writ requiring the'board to show cause why they should not be re^ moved from office. Friday noon is C j the time fixed for the hearing. The p||& attorneys for the. members of the board will be present with arguments against their removal. The main I point is the unlawful purchase of / whiskey, etc. It looks now like there will be no relief, as to our courts by the Legista-^ toe. There certainly should be some f action taken and the- time changed. k " by all means as to the terms, as our. courts are too close together, and the .. dockets are in a terrible congested \ condition. Let us have relief, please. Will our members look after it? . ??========!; .Lores Not Affhud. Representative Lever, of South Car, olina, went for Speaker Gannon the jjf|v other day with shovel and tongues on account of the latter'8 opposition to the forest reserve movement. Congressman Lever continues to grow and now he measures up to the top 0: line of the best among the representatives from this State. He has already done excellent work for South Carolina. He is what.may be termed a "working" Congressman, and when the occasion demands he would as soon take a'fall with the Speaker of the House as the most lowly representative in all that body of men. We need several'more Levers in Congress from this State.?Greenville Daily 2*ews. LEGISLATIVE. The House Thursday after a lengthy discussion, passed to third reading the bill providing for a board of examiners of railway telegraph operators. At this same tame the house killed two other bills introduced limiting the . hours of work for operators to eight out of each twenty-four hours and . providing for the establishment of a block system on aH railroads running t 'Over six trains daily each way on their lines. The bill provides for a board oi three members of not less than seven years' experience as operators. The term of office of each shall be twe years, the aypointments to be made by the governor. The board shall examine each applicant and a speed in receiving and transmitting of twentythree words per minute is required. The fee for examination is $3 and the power of revoking any license is given with the right of appeal to the governor. The members of the boarc are forbidden to accept transportation from railroads and violation o1 any of the provision calls for a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500 upon conviction. The circuit judges will get an additional $300. each year hereafter, as traveling expenses, if the bill which passed second raading in the senate Friday is adoptei by the house.

The finance committee recommended that j this be reduced to $500, which was ac- i cepted by the author and its friends. 'But there was strong opposition to giving the judges any increase whatever and there was a hard fight before it was passed in its amended form. ? Mr. Graydon's bill for increasing the pay of jurors in circuit courts to $2.50 per day passed, after being amended by making the pay $2. A similar bill has already passed the. house.
