The principal work in the house of representatives last week was the passage of the labor contract law, without debate, and the killing of the prohibition bill, fathered by Representative Nash, and fought for by a number of the leaders who are against county dispensaries. A large number of local measures were passed or sent 4*A Kiif if fiAAtvi 4-/% V\A ikj uxixiu. icauuigy uul id occmcu lv uc the unanimous desire of the members to postpone hard work until this week when night sessions will commence and something done toward clearing the calendar. There are now about 250 bills on the 36 page3 to be worked on and the committees have* about 300 yet to be reported upon. The practice of the members in allowing unfavorably reported bills to go upon the calendars, even though they will never be reached, has resulted in the lengthy list. The committees have been very busy and there are still many bills to come up, although a time limit will be fixed this week. The question of biennial sessions will come up in the general assembly again, Senator Efird having introduced a series of resolutions proposing V* /\ t w> r~\ M rl rv^ A t f 4" A f A AAA LIIU ucutrsaai^y aLu.cuiuxixcxj.La tu tuo constitution. The bill providing for the establishment of Calhoun county will be introduced and referred to a committee when the house meets. The bill is similar to the one introduced for the creating of Lee county, except the election of officers which is provided for at once, instead of a government by commission for several months. The bill will give the county auditor, when elected, authority to copy from the tax books of Orangeburg and Lexington counties the properties in Calhoun territory. One of the possibilities for debate in the creation of this county is its position in the judicial circuits of the State. With a bill to make an eleventh circuit, in which Richland is particularly interested, it is probable that Calhoun will be grouped with either the fifth or the eleventh circuits. The house has before it a number of special order bills, including those relating to compulsory education, the bill creating a State health officer, the bill providing for the erection of a dormitory at Winthrop college, and several others. Mr. Aull has for an adjourned bill his measure creating a rural police force to which very little opposition has developed. By a vote of 62 to 51 the house struck out the enacting words of the prohibition bill. Despite the claim of those who favored the county dispensary system that the measurs was certain of defeat the vote surprised a number of the leaders, although it was conceded that many of the State dispensary supporters would now vote for prohibition. The Senate has passed to third reading Mr. Tool's passenger rate bill. The commission on State House and grounds asks $25,000 to carry on the work of improvement. That the commission has done excellent work is evident to any one who has seen the grounds recently. A favorable report has been rendered by the house and senate committees on the joint resolution which would exempt from liability former State treasurers. Dr. W. T. C. Bates and Dr. W. H. Timmeran, and the present treasurer, R. H. Jennings, on account of the loss of certain State bonds being stolen by a clerk in the office. This bill was before the house lasi year and a favorable report was ren dered by the house committee, but the promoter did not succceed in getting the measure through. Attorney General Lyon has filed suit against Messrs. Timmerman and Bates and their bondsmen for the amount involved and State Treasurei Jennings has paid every dollar of hie liability, amounting to about ?1.400. Should the State relieve the bondsmen it will be necessary to replace the money out of the sinking fund. C-oo& Soads Association. There will be a meeting of the South Carolina Good Roads association in Columbia tomorrow. Ir is expected , that there will be a large attendance j of those interested from the various counties of the state. The following call was issued Friday by the president: "Notice is hereby given that the tenth annual convention of the South Carolina Good lioads association win meet in the county court house in Columbia, S. C., at noon Feb. 6, 1908. "All county and city highway officials and others interested in highway improvement in South Carolina are strongly urged to be present at this convention, as matters of far-reaching importance to the development of the state will be discussed and recommendations made for new high way legislation to the general assembly, which is now in session. "A number of speakers have consented to address the convention on live highway topics. "Delegates will have an opportunity to inspect the new ?16,000 road building plant of Richland county, in operation one mile north of Columbia and see how stone roads are built in this section. "F.

C-, November 12, 1S46, and died at his home December 1G, 1907, making his earthly pilgrimage G1 years, 1 month and 4 days. His early training in piety led him% to connect himself with Mfc. Hebron lueinoaist cnurcn, or wmcn ne uvea a consistent member until his death. He served in the Confederate army, and was a faithful soldier until the close of the war. He leaves a loving wife, three children and three sisters, besides a large host of friends to mourn his loss. One son, Daniel R. Buff, has gone to that beautiful home above. May God be with us in our * trying hours. Dearest father, how we miss you, All our hearts are filled with grief; But we trust we'll meet you, On the happy golden shore. Where there'll be no more sorrow, Where there'll be no more good byes, For this parting is awful hard, Because you told us so. In the solemn hour of day brake, In the silence calm and deep; Lying on his peaceful bed, Father fell asleep. In Mt. Hebron's quite church yard There is now a new-made mound; And the foim that wa3 so cherished, Has been laid beneath the ground. But up yonder in the portal That is shining very tair; Father is now sheltered, By the Saviour'9 loving care. Father, you have left us, Lonely are our hearts to-day; Death has of you bereft us, Taken you so far away. You have crossed the cold, dark river, Angel's hold you by the hands; You are safe from storms forever, i Safe within that promised land. 1 Nine long weeks you bore your suffering, Without a murmur or complaint; Only trusting in your God And leaning on His strong arm. How we miss your gentle footsteps! Miss each kind and gentle word; No more in the lonely household Will your tender voice be heard. > Dear, oh! how we loved you, No pen can write, no tongue can tell, J 1 But the gentle Shepherd called you, . We must bid a long farewell. . For alas, the Saviour called him, Called him from this world of war; [ And his spirit has ascended [ From this earthly home below. ! You have gone to be with Jesus, With the loved ones up there; * How you longed to see your darling son! t Called him almost to the last. ! How sad it is to part, With the ones we prize so high; To watch beside the bed And see our father die. Oh, Jesus! dry our tears And bind our broken hearts; We will our father meet And never with Mm part. i So, fare the well, dear father! You have only gone before, For if we are but as faithful ,We shall reach the golden shore. ?DAUGHTER BESSIE. Cloth all Wool and Paint all Paint, Is cheaper than shoddy paint.

Whereas, An all-wise God in his wisdom has seen fit to take from our midst Votary J E. Barre, a worthy member of Tahara Temple, No. 106, Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan; and whereas, Brother Barre as a Votary of this Order has eminently exhibited in his life and character the nobility expected of a Knight of Khorassan and set an example -worthy to be emulated by all men; therefore, be it resolved, That in his death this Temple has sustained an irreparable loss and each member a true and loyal friend; That wcttAteiiu our sincere ana nearcreit sympathy to his sorrowing relatives; and that these Resolutions be placed upon the Minutes of our Temple and a copy thereof be transmitted to his family. * W.

In Many Sleepless Nights, Owing to a Persistent Cough. Belief Found at Last. "For several winters past my wife has been troubled with a most persistent and disagreeable cough, which invariably extended over a period of several weeks and caused her many sleepless nights," writes Will J. Hayner, editor of the Burley, Colo., Bulletin. ,. "Various remedies were tried each year, with no beneficial results. In November last the cough again put in an appearance and my wife, acting on the suggestion of a friend, purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The result was indeed marvelous. After three doses the cough entirely disappeared and has not manifested itself since.'' This remedy is sold by the Kaufmann tw,,v ri/-v JL-/J. UK, \JKJ. "Adam Was First EoTjo." Chicago, Jan. 30.?"Adam was the first hobo," says Dr. Benjamin Reitman, self-styled "king of tramps." The "bum" lecturer spoke to an audience of women in Handell hall, under the auspices of the Henry George Association. "Tramps who won't work are insane. They should always be released on the plea of stuporous lassitude or paranoia." "Eitciea-Miaded" This epithet is applied to women who are too much engrossed wit' domestic affairs. The wordiseyiden. * ly meant as a reproach. Ho doul there are women who give too mu< time to the kitchen, as there are othe. who give too little. Who will undertake to decide just how much time is enough? That a woman should grow like the place in which she spends most of her time is not strange. She might become parlor-minded; but many of us, like George Eliot, enjoy a clean kitchen best of all.
