M0ITCST03SJ IT? ? ? of Your Valued Pat] General Assembly. BY J. RUTLEDGE McGEE. Columbia, Feb. 7.?During the pa9t ? 4-U^ flflnQKol iooomhlv r\f 1Q11-12 WCeL. LUC UOULiai u.oo^Luv<j w? has accomplished two things that as- I sure to it remembrance for some years to come. It has passed the general appropriation bill earlier in the session than was the case with any previous 1? gislature?the bill was reported eight days earlier than ever before ?and it ha4 passed a marriage license law. It was a busy week, filled with much constructive legislation of many kinds. This week will see the remaining geneial bills that have found favor adopie J and many minor local or for other reasons uncontested meas, ures enacted into law. Then will j r arise the Question. Why not adjourn? t If the legislature sits for a fortnight longer?this week and the next?it will round out the usual forty days , It now seems likely that final adjournment will be taken next Saturday night, February 11, making tne session approximately 30 days. Lowndes Browning, of Union, chairman of the house committee on wajs and means, was the lion of the past week. Great credit is- due him for the masterly way ;n which he handled his big assignment. It is significant that the appropriation bill went through intact, except for such amendments as he himself offered. Twice in the house last week excitement was promised, over references by Dr. Turnbull, of Aiken, to Srate OameWarden James Henry Rice, Jr., and by Citizen Jo9h Ashley, of Anderson, to Dr. John Porter Hollis, of York, secrefiry of the State child la borcommittee; but the incidents bleu over without furnishing much "copy'' for the repor^rs. Dr. Turnbul) questioned the accuracy of statements in Mr. Rice's report and Mr. Ashley intimated that Dr. Hol)is, a former member of the house, was employea by New England mill interests to lobby for stringent laws on children in I the South Carolina cotton mills. In the senate there was passed with amendments the bill to return to such counties as maintain chaingangs ah tne able-bodied male conv ct9 now employed in the penitemiiry and on the State farms. Whether the house will pass the measure remains to be seen. This bill if enacted into law would be one long step toward something various members have wanted to see done for a long time?the sale of the State farms and the closing of the hosiery mill at the penitentiary. Distribution of the convicts as proposed would leave the penitentiary with insufficient force to man the farms. In the line of constructive legislation nothing better has been done in years than the passage by the hous e f.hfi rihriflf,pnsen-Vincent drainage hill, which will also pass the senate. Xo county need avail itself of the provisions ot the measure unless it wishes, but in the low-country counties such a law can be of tremendous assistance in reclaiming swamp lands auu enhancing the values of lands now under cultivation. The fifth justice of the Supreme Court will likely be chosen Wednesday. The candidates are Circuit Judges Watts and Memminger, Attorneys M. L. Booham, of Anderson, W. B. Gruber, of Walterborro, and T. B. Fraser, of Sumter. It was too bad that the outcome of the row between - he governor and the supreme court over toe question of who should preside at the Richland court, should have been the assignment of Judge Watts to hold the court, siDce Judge Watts naturally desired to be free at that time to strengthen his political fences Judge Memminger will be disengaged and so can pusn his own candidacy unhampered. To The Memory ol James Larkin Glenn. After an illness of more than a year the black-wing.3d deaoh having ho ered over tne pa. ient s' ffercr all the time, the silver chord was clipped ^arly on tht morr du of December 1910, James Larkin U- enn fell asleep * - . -1. v? ?4. to awaKd in tnt rcaima 01 uxe ^xcsi. He was born 0ji t.'9 T?di cf xV.ii', 1846, in "Newfcerr, County, un the | i1r.jLi of Jai uaik., -8 '9, ' e wr.i married tA> itlias A lice Freeman.

Mr. Glenn was the last of his family | except an aunt, Kzh. Email .e Dickettun. Mr. Glenn grew up in a time wl er; it was exceedingly inconvenient to get an education, although no Lad { acquired much for Ms chances. Es- j peciaiiy was ho a great- adweate of educating the young, always being in- J teres ted in the aciiooJ, which was lo- ' cat^d near his premises. As a chizen 1 he was unpretentious at all times; he was lawa'oidir.g, not from fear of it- j penalties, but from love wl doing the i i right. His motto always seemed to ; j be the goiaen rule, "Do um-o Ow?-r? . as you would have them do unlr you." , The large crowd gafhered ar-. ord his grave was an evidence o the high esteem in which he was held by his , DBS COMPAN ronage. Polite and Pro surrounding neighbors. He wa9 a hard-working man, always looking after the welfare of his family. His home was a model of industry and care. Around his hearth was love and obedience, and may his paternal mantel be borne by his sons in their many cares now resting on : them, upon whose youthtul arms 1 their mother must lean. They have i left to them the footprints of a pious father in which to iollow and like him may they gain ihe love and respect of their associates! Thft Rw Sntnrr>prsetfi tirpanhpd a most excellent fuueral sermon, after which his body was laid to rest in the family burying ground near his residence to await ressurrection morn. "One by one the chairs stand vacant, That were filled by those we loved; One by one their seats are filling In Om father's home above." N. D. Court Proceedings. The regular spring terra of the court of common pleas opened on Monday morning with Judge T. S. Sease, ot Spartanburg, presiding. The forenoon was taken up in arguments for motions. The first case called for trial at the afternoon session was that of W. Q, M. Berley, of Lexington, against Dr. J. R. Langford, of Swansea, a damage suit for $10,000, lor the alleged failure of the defendant to properly set a dislocated shoulder of the plaintiff on or about the first day of Augusr, 1906. Much time was consumed in hearing the evidence, and the case did not go go the jury until 4 o'clock yesterday A fton n^YVl U i 111 n fT Ant", f AT JJ CILtCiUUVll* A L t^l IWUUIUIU^ VWkV AVA v-r shore while the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. * Graham & Sturkie and A.

Death of Miss Stuart Tim town was saddened on Sunday by the announcement of the death of Miss Lueye M. Stuart, one of the best knjwn women of Lexington. For three years she had been' an invalid, but always bore her affliction with that christian fortitude which had ever characterized her entire life. The deceased is survived by three sisters, Misses Sallie, Naomi and Mattie Stuart, and two brothers, Willie Stuart, of Lexington, and John M Stuart, of the Mimnaugh Department Store, 01 uoiumuia. The remains of Miss Stuart were laid to rest in St. Stephen's cemetery on Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock, alter brief iuneral services conducted from the home by the Rev. T. S Brown. The popularity of the deceased was evidenced by tie very large attendance and the many floral offerings. Little Child Was Lost. In passing from Crout's store over to Mr. Enoch Swygert's last Tuesday, on our rounds with the Auditor, a very pathetic scene met our eyes a? we neared the old home of Mr. J. H. Derrick. Here we found fifty or more men, women and children gathered, 11 -? - ? lir r la 311 111 HCiirUIl JUf LUC liiuic ivui-jr 001old daughter of Mr. Derrick, which had mysteriously disappeared in the forenoon. The fond parents of the little one were more than distracted and the appeal of the mother, father aud little brother were touching in deed. The little girl was playing with the other children and becoming dis satisfied, said she was "going back to mamma.'' 2ut instead of returning tvj its mother the litile girl strolled in th9 woods, up a creek over hi1! j. 5 djile, for a distance o<" miles aLd finally *j where su.ie coined f . \N e \vaHnm wiiv.i'e she j was * .1:0 :^ut, sundown. The joj *Lr parents upon the return of their lost child was never more complete. The chiid left its playmates about 11 o'clock.
