of Your Valued Pat:
General Assembly.
Columbia, February 14.?Unless the
unexpected happens, the members of
the General Assembly will be at their*
homes next Sunday. It is a source of
disappointment, and somewhat unnecessary,
that the General Assembly j
should have continued in session this
long. The usual precedent has been j
for adjournment to be had within the
week after the general appropriation j
bill has been passed by the House. I
The Senate has now had the appro- ;
priation bill for a week and is giving j
it serious and mature consideration,
and there has been no report on it by
; the finance committee of the Senate.
The bill will, as was expected, show
' increases over what it did last year,
but this is to be expected in a growing
and fast enriching State, and it is
[ what is found in every State and nation.
Nothing has been done to revise or
otherwise improve the tax system or,
what is mo9t important, secure an
I equalization of the assessment of prop|
ercy that would be a real equalization.
I More interest was taken in the Justiceship
election last week than in alI
most anything else. The deadlock is
still on. but it i? reely predicted that
there will be an election bv Thursday.
I However, if the deadlock continues
beyond, th- twenty-first ballot, there
will be a reaajustment and that some
new name will be presented.
During the week four of the most
important matters proposed tor legislative
consideration have been continued
until next session.
First. The general revision of the
school laws ot' the State.
Second. The proposition to provide
a highway commission and provide
for its support by a license on automobiles.
Third. A co-operative plan of advertising
the State by a fund contributed
in part by the State and in part
by the larger railway systems of the
State.
Fourth. The proposition to have
the privilege tax go directly into the
State treasury instead of going to
niomcnn Hrvlipcro. anH havft thfi G-ener
? - ?
al Assembly provide for Clemson as is
done with other institutions.
The two measures of most general
interest that have been passed by both
branches of the General Assembly are
the marriage license bill and the law
as to notaries public.
Under the terras of the marriage license
law it will cost a dollar to be
married after July 1. Two dollars is
the new fee for a commission as notary
public.
Strange as it may seem, two measures
that have been before the General
Assembly for years have not been
presented this year.
No one has presented a bill looking
fr? Shat-P-U7irift nrnhihifion. and no one

mils Sweetheart as She
Was Posting Letter.
Roanoke, Va., Feb. 13.?Driven to
desperation, J. W. Powell, of Buchanan,
today killed his sweetheart, Mis9
Maud West, 18 years of age, and then
turned the shotgun on himself and
ended his life.
The double tragedy was thought to
have been caused by jt alouey. Powell,
28 years or age, called upon Miss
West last night, and while at the I
home met another young man. He
was heard t _? make threats as he was
leaving.
While the young woman was on her
way to a mail box to post a letter,
Powell, who was in hiding on the side
of the road, jumped from a clump of |

shotgun. He emptied two loads in
her body and then placed the weapon
| to his head and fired. When found
! bGth of them were dead.
The Chaingang.
| The chair.gang has nearly finished
I the roadbed and embankment on
j side of sue river, near Wyse's Fi**y,
and will shortly move to Dm opposite
| sidrt of the river, beginning in the
j Peak section and will work back to
the river. There is no better piece 'of
[ road work in the .Statu than that iuI
oPtirij- complpi M by the gang on this
| side of the river.
The steel bridge will be ready for
I crossing by the middle of Lext week.
