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

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

originally introduced, by Senator
Gray don,* the bill provided for $600 a
year a9 traveling expenses. 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.

structing our representatives and senators
