His Bill to Provide for a New Schoo District, Known as St. John's, Passed Over Governor's Veto. Senator D. Frank Eflrd has beer successful in his fight for the establishment-, of a neur school district known as St. John's. Inspite of the failure of Governor Ansel to approye the bill, for reasons 'setforth in a rather lengthy special message to the senate, the bill was passed by a vote of 30 to 2. The bill was introduced a year ago, but on account of^the governor's failure to sign the act, the new district has never been established. It will be recalled that a delegation from this county with their attorneys ?some in favor of the district and some opposed to the propositioncalled on the Governor some time last year, but he would not change his action in the matter. Following is the bill: "Section 1. That the board of education of Lexington County shall, within thirty days after the filing with them of a petition of one-third of the qualified electors of the hereafter proposed special school district, shall order an election therein on the question of a levy of two mills speciai tax on all property within said district for school purposes therein, saic election to be held at St. John's school house after fifteen days' notice thereol by the managers appointed by saic board."

It is fine sport, but bruised faces are common. It is late to write about Chriflmas, but we enjoyed the season very much. ' We had a* two days pounding from our parishioners. Then our sendee at church was the event of the season. The day was very fine. Our sendee was held at 2 p. m., and the people ^ must have expected something good, for they came from miles. We were packed almost to suffocation, and standing room was at a premium. Many were turned away. We heard of no one being disappointed. The music, recitations, and drills were all good. No less attractive was the Christmas tree. Upwards of 500 pre| sents were on and around this. Among other things, a well filled purse came the pastor's way.
