Senator E. I). Smith to the committee ! on agriculture, investigations in the civil service, conservation of the national resources, manufactures, immigration and patents, note of which I was made a day or two ago, indicates | that South Carolina, from all appear! ances, is to get the very best possible i results from her members .of congress during the next few years. Sen' ator Smith will now be in a position to jump right into the congressional fight, if necessary, in ord^r to get everything there is for his constituents at home. With Senator Smith on these committees, Senator Tillman on appropriations and naval affairs, Representative Lever on agricultnre, Mr. Johnson on buildings and grounds, Mr. Finley on postoffices and postroads, Mr. Patterson on claims and Mr. Ellerbe on rivers and harbors, South Carolina, would, indeed, appear to be as well fixed as any other State in the Union so far as committee places are | concerned. Senator Tillman and the members of the house have already demonstrated from time to time their efficiency as committee members, and there is not the least doubt that Senator Smith will make equally as good a showing. When he was asked how he managed to secure such excellent places when he had been in the senate only two or three weeks, he modaaflir fhaf Via xnrtnl/l laava tVial". t-DWJ iV^lAVU UU?V AiU TVVU1U ivw ? V WA4WV for others to say. The troth is that the great work that Senator Smith had already done for the farmers of the country preceded him, so that when he got to Washington and his colleagues found that he was the Smith from South Carolina that they heard about?"Cotton Smith"?the natural thing wa9 to land him on the committee on agriculture, where his talents might be best employed. Senator Smith expects to devote much of his time tp the work of the other committees also, but it is to that on agriculture that he will give most of hi9 time. He came to the senate with a heart throbbing and beating with hope and expectancy j that he might prove a real friend, io the farmers of the South, and We | chance is now his. In no other capacity could he be of more practical use to his friends in South Carolina and elsewhere than as a member of the committee on agriculture. With the excellent work that he will accomplish in the senate, aided by Representative Lever in the house, "the little giant from the Sand Hills," South Carolina farmers are ?n a better way today to profit from the work of their men in congress than they have ever been before. Then there is Senator Tillman on the appropriating committee to watch the financi il end of the Smith-Lever work.? News and Courier. ? ? # ? Mr3. Geo. T. Carson Dead. Swansea, March 27.?Mrs. Geo. T.

A week or so ago we spoke of the large profit derived by the Southern Express company from the shipment of intoxicating beverages into the prohibiton states of the south; but we are informed by one of the officers of the express company that as a matter of fact the receipts of the company from tins source having fallen off at least 50 per cent. There has been, it is admitted, a large increase in the in-bound shipments of liquor into such towns as Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and Savannah in our neighboring state of Georgia, but at the same time there has been a corresponding loss n the outbound shipments so that it is estimated that the express company is about 50 per cent short in its earnings on account of the liquor trade* We do not know how this is, but from what we have heard the illicit traffickers in spirituous liquors in the prohibition states of the south have been making a great deal of money out of the business. Possibly the express company would be able to render ma terial assistance to the officers of the law in the enforcement of the law Their defence now appears to be that j everything is coming in and nothing is going out, but all the while the blind tigers are making piles of money.?News and Courier. 2?asonics.

List week our community was vis- ' ited by a severe wind, rain and hail I storm, the wind blew from the South j at a terrible rate, the hail was soon over. So far we have not heard of casualties arising therefrom. Our people are behind some in their farming, so much rain, no plowing of much extent can be done. The oat crop |is fine and we hope will oontinue good up to harvest time. The annexation agitation has somewhat simmered down, but still water runs deep and the question is liable bubble up again.

The town is in a fairly clean aondition, but the season of the year is now fast approaching, when diligence to cleanliness should be ordinanced. We are glad to say that the good people of Bethel charge, (Lutherans), at White Rock, have by subscription been able to raise a nice sum of money which will enable them to install a phone in their parsonage, and the far and near will have a long felt want, and Rev.

Cromer in the presence of a large congregation of sorrowing relatives and friends. Miss Wingard was just 19 years of age. She was one of the most popular young ladies in the community, and her sudden demise has caused genuine sorrow to her relatives and friends. She is survived by her parents, one brother and two sisters. Dead As Result of Ziss. .
