General Assembly.
BY J. RUTLEDGE McGEE.

? 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. This union-j
was biusstd Tiin it:i child*. ?i, v.ir^e
having preceded him to the Soir.t
L'ma Ho le.oveb to mourn hie dep^r- j
lure a c!eve>ted wife, three e.ins, fo?:r
daughters and tweiuy-stvea ^auu !
children, becides a host of ml alive ^
ar.il friends.
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

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.
