CIRCULATION 2.300. Truth and Poetry. On a recent trip to Columbia it was ^ great pleasure and much satisfacto meet Col. B. B. Wilson, of Texas, truly a *'Knight of the Grip," aaving spent most of his life on the road. He is a cleyer and jovial genttecian, an intelligent and interesting conversationalist with wide experience, and it was really amusing to 5iear him relate part of his commercial travels over the United States and mfmost *U parts of the world. It was more than gratifying to meet ^-oae of our age, like the colonel, who umtursftly holds the respect and --esteem for those of the "silvery hair," *with that close fellow feeling and good will for each other. It is natural "that we should have, as men of our ^age seldom receive the proper recognition by the younger generation nowadays. The Colonel has decided to return the old home on the farm with his *iear old mother, after years on the 7ocd and kindly sends us the followin* piece of poetry composed by himself. G. "M. H. To My Mother, C. W. On Quitting the Road. -T haye been where the "Whangdoodle" mourneth, the death of her first that was born; Tye seen the pink tights that adorneth the actre88, sylph like form. tBat good-bye, to city, and pavement, the glitter, and glare of your lights; Where ""luncheon is served" at noontime, and "dinner" away in the night. i want to get back to the country, with its horses, harness and stock; Where "dinner is ready at noontime, and sapper at six o'olook. want to "sop" bread in the gravy and likely I'll eat -pie wish my -knife; Perhaps blow my tea in the saucer, aal did very early in life; I'm sick of being "a salesman," either with or withont renown; ^Tired of wandering all states through, ?rty, village, and town; ?y George, I'm sick and tired and want to get t ck to the stock; Where "dinner's ready" at noontime, ?od sapper at six o'clock. I want to get back to the conntiy where the grasses and trees are so sreen; Where wide fields are giving their fragrance, and the sun's shimmering shadows are seen; ^Tve burned all my bridges behind me" withont any ifs, ands or buts, "iFor I've seen the whole "bloomin' business,"from soup clean through 'to tints." fr a . . m -A3L CUhve ? Hi-tic Jjia.niai.iyu iu XfiaSs where th6"nigKer9 don't wear any socks; c&od I'm going to haye "dinner" at noontime and "supper" at six o'clock. &Way from the cities hard scheming, its squalor, hunger and strife, -Ctetting the Other "man's dollar'' can't be the main object in life; aFkey are after yonr dollar, "you bet you, when your lunch is high priced or free, uSLdI bo difTeren e, when or how served, they "all look alike to me." So I'm going -back to the country, where there's never, an open work sock; Where "diauet is ready" at noontime, aud supper is six o'clock. B, B. W. Mr. Robert B>we who has been 'visiting Hon. C.'M.

SOLONS TAKE A RECESS South Carolina Legislature Has Prac tically Adjourned, Recess Bein Taken Merely to Allow Acts Sen by Governrr to Secretary of Sta'< to Become Law. News and Courier. As indicated the General Assern bly, to all intents and purposes, ad journed Saturday at 4.30 o'clock. A a usual thing when the Appropriatioi Act is finally adopted and an Act I 1 ? J_1_ J.: fl - J u<4 vtj ueen uuiy muueu auu umo over to the Governor that is te.nta mount to adjournment, and such i the prpsent legislative situation. It was reported that fcwenty-od< Acts had been turned over to tb Secretary of State without signature The lawmakers were anxious tha these Acts should become law. Th< Gove lor had not vetoed any - one o the twenty-odd Acts that he sent h the Secretary of State; he simply ha< not signed them, and it was eithei one of two things?to continue thi legislative session for a lapse of threi days after they were handed thi Governor by virtue of which they be came law, if not vetoed; or the Act: would slumber in the office of tb< Secretary of State for a year withou the force and effect of law, and nex session could be vetoed in the firs days of the session. Some members were interested ii this and others in another of th< group of Acts filed with the Secretary of State and these influences combme< and brought about the plan of taking a recess until Thursday, March 6, at! o'clock. MANY MAY NOT RETURN. There will be a slim attendance a that time, as the sole purpose of th recess until Thursday is to accomplisl the span of three legislative days, th time in which the Acts become autc matically effective. This will also ap ply to the three Acts that wer ratified after 4 o'clock Sunday morr ing. unless they should be vetoec Ihia woald not apply to the Acts tha have been turned over to the Seer* tary of State, without signature c veto, as they are now out of the hanc of the Governor. The three last Acts ratified wei to allow Sumter, Darlington, Belto and Walhalla to assess abutting pre perty for improvements; the genera magistrates' and the general count officers' Acts. There was no partici lar reason why these Acts shouJ have been delayed in the ratifioatior except tbac something wa9 to hav been left to the last. When the General Assembly meei Thursday it will be t-iraply to pa; resolutions of thanks and cougratak tions, exchange courtesies and adyii the Governor that the General Asserr bly is ready to adjoun and inquire he has any further communication. THROUGH THICK AND THIN. The \ote on the veto messages ir dicate quite clearly that there ar about ten members of the House an three or four in the Senate who wi vote with the Governor on any propc sition he wants, just so long a9 he say it i9 all right. There are four or fiv members of the House who are her worshippers of the Governor an would accept his view on any an everything, but the vote indicate this This does not mean that his politics following is not much larger on political issue but has reference t what might be termed a personij worship. UNIVERSITY VETOES. The most impoitant veto was cj the several items connected with th University of South Carolina, nnde this head the Governor vetoed item aggregating $74,OX) for the University but both the House and Senate over whelmingly overrode the vetoes. A] the other items were comparative! small, the largest in impr rtance beinj the effort to defeat the historical com mission by depriving it of its main tenance and this was pirhaps th record yote against the sustaining c a veto in ail the thirty that were sub mitted. When the history of this session o the General Assembly is written i will be that it was a "If t-well-enough alone law-miking body." There wa no desire to disturb the present Indus trial, agricultural and eommercia ' progress of ti.6 state. There oppeare< [ to be no demand for ii. ONE SAVED, OTHER LOST. The Assembly, to eontiLu the goo< and to lend its hand to the pros perity and de< e opment of the State passed two companion bills, one t< Impose a one- mil sciool tax for th< common echooli on *11 pro] erty ii the State, and arother locking tc compulsory ed .cation. Both of thest i i <. * i measures' after they had Leei adopted 1 by majority votes in the Legislature, 4 suffered vetoes. The one-miil tax over-came the veto and i? now a law, "the veto of the Governor to the con* trary notwithstanding," as is announced after the vote is taken. The optional compulsory school attendance law parsed the House by more than the two-thirds vote required, but failed to secure two-thirds vote in - the Senate, and therefore, will not g find its way to the statute books. The Governor has consislenly and persistenlv fought compulsory educa? tion and his veto was to have been exr ected and was in line with his oft-repeated position.
