Wednesday, January 29,1908.
Second Week of Legislature.
During the second week of the legislature
many bills were acted upon,
many new bills were placed on the
calender for future consideration and
many were killed.
The elections were held onWednes
day and the selection of Judge to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Hon. James Aldrich, was perhaps,
the most important and much interest
was manifested in the outcome.
Senator Bates and Hon. Jas. E.
Day is of Barnwell, withdrew from the
race at the last moment, leaving Hon.
Robt. Aldrich of Barnwell and Hon.
Claude E. Sawyer of Aiken, alone in
the race. When the' votes were
counted Mr. Aldrich was the successful
aspirant, he having received 82
votes to Mr. Sawyer's 76. The result
of the other elections will be found
elsewhere.
After some able arguments for and
against the repeal of the Lien law,
the house overwhelmingly voted for
lepeal. The bill was sent over to the
Senate and that body considered the
same yesterday. Mr. Crouch, of Saluda,
has offered a bill in the Senate
I and no doubt if it passes that body it
I Trill h?T7P n. nnmhpr nf ampndments.
The bill, as passed by the house, is as
follows:
' 'Section 1. That section 3059,
volume 1, code of laws, South Carolina,
1902, rel'ating to liens for advances,
be, and the same is hereby
repealed.
"Sec. 2. That all acts or parts of
acts inconsistent with this act be, and
the same are hereby, repealed.
"Provided, This act shall take effect
on the first day of January, A. D. 1909."
During the week Mr. Wannamaker,
of Lexington, introduced a bill which
provides for a public cotton weigher
for Swansea.
fc.The Senate favors a bill which purports
to increase the terms of Supervisor
and county Superintendents of
Education to four years, instead of
two years. The bill will more than
likely pass.
Senator Walker, of Georgetown, has
introduced a bill favoring more pay
for members of the general assembly.
The^bill provides that members of the
legislature receive the sum of $260 per
annum and five cents per mile to and
from Columbia, the most direct route
- .
to be travelled. When it comes to
increasing {heir own salaries but few
will hardly object and hereafter members
are more than likely to receive
$250. However, the bill has not been
passed yet. It is done for the purpose,
so many of the members claim,
of getting abler and. more qualified
men to offer for the legislature in the
future.
. * 1
Petitions from all over the State,
signed by thousands of men and women,
have been presented to the
legislature asking for a straight-out
prohibition law. Among the petitions
is one from Richland and is signed by *
several -hundred voters. However,
neither house has as yet taken up the
matter seriously. That is, the bills
have not been voted upon neither discussed.
But, in all probability a
strong fight will be waged for State
prohibition when the subject comes
up sometime this week. That many
of the members would vote to kill the
present law which has been in operation
a little less than a year, is evident
on all sides. On the other hand,
there are many who favor the present
system.
Mr. Morrell's marriage license bill
failed to pass.
The matter of new counties will
come up at this session, and there are.,
already evidences of side lights on
the matter. The only new county
proposition that will come up at this
, niession will be that of Calhoun County.
Th e issues involved in the establishment
of this new county, and it is a
good one, are now before the Supreme
* Court. If the Court says the election
^was all right, then the county will be j
established. There is not likely to be
any fight whatever over the matter.
On the matter of taxation a proposition
that is attracting a good deal of
interest is that of Senator Griffin, of
Colleton. The pith of the scheme is
"that hereafter timber held or owned
shall be assessed and taxed seperately
from the lands on which it grows."
The bill is short but reaches out after
an entirely new line of taxable values
and reads as follows:
Section 1. That from and after the
approval of thi9 Act it shall be the
duty of all persons and corporations
who now or may hereafter come into
possession of timber, standing or
growing upon lands of others, to return
the same to the county auditor
of their respective counties at their
actual value for taxation. .
Section 2. That hereafter timber
held or owned shall be assessed and
taxed separately from the lands on
which it grows.
The measure is now pending before
the finance committee of the Senate.

Prohibition Means Better Farsi^M
Work, Says Commissioner. |J
"Already I can see the beneficial^
effects of prohibition on the negroS
farm labor of the state," said Commissi
sioner of Agriculture Thomas G. Hud-'J|
son Saturday.
"I expect to see throughout Geor-?j?
gia a wonderful change for the betterjj
this year," continued Commissioner \
Hudson. "On my own farms in South -ft
Georgia I have observed changes for Jg
the better, and wherever I go planters'Jra
tell me that they are having much
better success in securing labor undera!]
satisfactory terms. ?^9
"Prohibition is driving hundreds of|jf|
negroes from the cities to the farms^||
and I expect to see good labor plenti^?
ful. Some people have the theory j|
that a large part of the negro labor j
can not be handled without whiskey ,
but I do not subscribe to it at all.
"I have been a farmer all of myjjS?
life and I have employed and studied ^
negro labor closely. When there is st. ;
town or city within reach, where li-jpl
quor can be obtained, a negro farm^J
hand will go and hang around untit^
he has spent all of his money on ca^ijj
rousing. He will come back then in
nq shape to do good work for several'?
H a.vs
"But if no liquor can be obtained
he will go to town when he must, at-'^
tend to his business and go back to vjB
his work. Another curious feature; J|
enters into it. Did you ever observe
how few negroes you see who are ha *'?1
bitual drunkards? A negro will drink
whiskey as long as he can buy it or:{||
get it, but when it is taken from him
he goes along without apparently suf-'J
fering from shaken nerves that torture
a white drunkard. J
"No negroes are leaying the state,
except the natural shifting of theirre-' 3
sponsible element that follows public a
works, and upon whose movements 3
the liquor question has no effect. We J
will have plenty of labor in Georgia 3
this year, and.it will be better, stead- -J|
ier and more desirable in every waySB
than we have known for years."?Atlanta

Lame Shoulder Cured. j
Lame shoulder is usually caused by
rheumatism of the muscles and quicjdy a
yields to a few applications of Chain- ' j
berlain's Pain Balm.. Mrs. F. H. 3?cElwee,
of Boistown, New Brnnsmck, M
writes: "Having been troubled for M
some time with a pain in my left -shoulder,
I decided to give Chamberlain's M
Pain Balm a trial, with the result that m
I got prompt relief." For sale by Kauf- 'IJ

Cotton la Society Island*. 4
In the last issue of the bulletin of M
the department of labor and commerce ;j|
Consul Julius D. Dreher of Tahiti calls itf
attention to the growing of sea island m
cotton in the Society islands, stating M
that increased interest has been ere- x
ated by several lopg articles in the %
official journal and by the offer of the M
Caisse Agricole, a bank having close J
relations with the colonial govern- %
ment, to guarantee a minimum price l
of 7 cents in the seed for all sea island ;
cotton produced in the colony. In |
1905 sea island cotton to the amount ,
of eight and a third metric ton9 (metric- 5
ton equals 2, 204,6 pounds) was export- \
ed from these islands, and in 1906 23 j
9-10 metric tons. ?I
However, if all the ayailable land ?
for growing this valuable product were :
under cultivation, the quantity pro- 3
duced would have little or no effect y
on the world market price. Dr. Dreher w
is a native of Lexington county and a '
brother of Superintendent Dreher of '
Columbia.?The State,25th.
Bank Your Money.
The Newberry Observer gives this
good advice. "If you have any money !
put it in the bank. Don't keep it
oKnnf. f.Vio linnoo oa o filmrifafinn

thieves and robbers. Banks are safe. i
Not one in a thousand ever fails. A
railroad engineer in Augusta had $1,- ,
600 stolen from his residence one night
last week. It has not been many
years sinfee a good woman of thie
county had $1,300 stolen from ber
premises and a good man had $700^
from his. The bank is the place for*
your money until you get ready to
spend it. Of course one ought to keep
a little loose change about him for
convenience; but home is no place for*
laying up money for saving."

How to Avoid Pneumoniar
You can avoid pneumonia and other
serious results from a cold by taking
Foley's Honey and Tar. It stops the
cough and expels the cold from the sys12m
as it is mildly laxative. Refuse any
but the genuine in the yellow package.
