Billy Smith," as he is lovingly called-the veteran Southern Railway conductor, baa been living quietly in Auderson for tho past year or so, having been given a year's leave of absenoe by the company. His leave of absence expired not long ago, and he wrote a letter to the railroad officials stating that he ?lid not feel able to go back to work, and that, owing to his increasing ill health and infirmities ho felt that he would never be able to return. In other words, he tendered his resigna tion ns an employee of the company. Ile bas received a letter in reply, in which he is given another year's leave of absence, and is told, in as pleasant a manner as possible, to take things easy and enjoy himself, and that if he ever feels able to return bis old position is open to him. In the meantime his name is car ried on the rolls as ranking passenger conductor of the Columbia and Greenville division. This is a graceful and at the same time an appropriate action on the part of the railroad officials. Capt. Smith was n passenger conductor for more than 40 years, and there never was a more efficient ono or a more popular one. It is nothing but justice that ho should be given this recognition in his old age, and yet the fact that the railroad company should take this view of it is worthy of note.-Anderson Mail, January 1'2.

Old Piokens, January 14.-The iron bridge aoross Keowee river at this place bas been completed ac cording to contraot, and so far as I am able to judge is a most substan tial structure. Wo bavo a most pleasing addition to our community in W. P. Dickson, well known in Walhalla, who, with his interesting family, havo moved to tbe Harper farm, whore he will engage in farming, poultry taising and fishing some, I reckon, as I saw him returning from Seneca the other day with a package of books and lines among other things. Hut tho fishing part of it, I predict, will be a failure, as saw dust, dynamite and dams across the river below bavo about cleared the stream hero of fish. Time bas buen within the memory of those living, at a time like this, when the river was frozen and mush ice floating down it, those who had traps caught succors by the hundred, and in thc spring shad were abundant, while, during the summer, bluecat and other fish were most plentiful. Edward Gantt has replenished bis store and proposes to furnish his neighbors with what they need at town prices. J. I'?. Kelley says he bas bielden adieu to the "hills and hollows" of Old Pickens and leased the farm of Edward Gantt, on McKinney's Creek, W. H. Glnzinerand Mo Whit mire having rented the place of Mrs. L. P?. Lee and moved there. Clem Pelfry has left the Sbelor place and gone to Pickens, but in bis stead comes. George Land from the Pickens side. Thomas II. Keith, tho champion young farmer of thia section, is still at thc old stand in tho Pork, and, no matter what the seasons are, al ways makes a big cotton crop, abundance of corn and raises fine hogs by tho drove. Many older farmers might observe his methods and profit thereby. Samuel R. Keith and his brother, William, spent a day or so last week with Thomas R. and James Keith, hunting on the old Keith homestead with moderate aucunes. These are all Oconeo boys. Samuel R. is a conductor on the Greenville and Co lumbia railroad, and William a suc cessful farmer near Chappells. Campbell Courtenay is improving the old Ramsay place on Little River by terracing, clearing land and erecting nice cottages for his tenants. Evidently ho intends that the ten ants on his farm shall bo comforta ble as well as the operatives in the mill. The buildings he is putting up are not what I call huta. The Cour tenay Manufacturing Company is of immense advantage to this section. Besides furnishing lucrative employ ment for hundreds in the mill they afford a splendid market for every thing produced on the fnrnv buy all the old field pines and wood that aro carried to them at good prices and furnish work at all times of tho year for outdoor laborers at good wages, and always havo on hand an immense stock of goods, comprising every thing that anybody needs. c. matt* Razors and Razors. "Has yer got any rnz'?rs?" The question was addressed by a colored brother of tho thick-lipped, bluegum variety to a clerk in a hardware store. "Plenty of 'em," said tho clerk, "and I've got something new which I think will suit you exactly." Ho got out a safety razor and ex plained its improved features, but the darkey didn't seem interested. When the derk expressed surprise the darkey said : "Hit ain't so much a matter of shavin' as I wanted a razor more suitable for social and religious pur poses."-Charlotte Chronicle. or PISO S CURE FOR - - CUMS WHtRfc All ElSl tAllS. , SSS Bea* Cough Byr-.ip.

Straight, Clear-cut Recommendations on Va rious Important Mattera. Gpvernor Hey ward's annual mes sage was sont to the General Assem bly last week. Thu salient features are: TI?H STATE'S FINANCES. Tho Govenor again points out the imperative need of increasing the r?venues of the State, although he shows that the State's finances are not in as bad oondition as bas been represented. The revenue during 1908 exceeded tho expenditure* by $56,804.29. This is accounted for, though, by the payment of $89,187.86 into the State treasury by the United States, a settlement of a long stand ing acoount having been secured by Senator Tillman. This, it will be seen, would still leave a deficit in tho revenues of the State as com pared with the revenues, and some means will have to be devised to remedy this state of affairs. The Comptroller has made a re commendation, which meets with the approval of the Governor, to re vise the insurance laws so as to make the insurance oompanies pay more license fees. This ohange, it is esti mated, would bring in an additional levenue of $127,000 to the State. Snob a license law is in force in most of che States and is giving satisfac tion. \ THE COMMON SCHOOLS. Considerable space is devoted to emphasizing the need of educational advantages in the common schools. The Governor recommends the eslab lishment of rural school libraries, the consolidation of rural schools, and the establishment of a manual train ing and industrial school in each county. Night Bubools in cotton mill villiages are also urged. Tho different State colleges are re ported to be in good condition and doing good work, and the Governor recommends the usual appropriations for their support. l-l lil,ic HIGHWAYS. The Governor makes strong and clear-cut recommendations on the eubjeot of good roads. He says: While I ara convinced that proper and systematic work of county chain gangs can be of decided benefit, still very much more than this is neces sary in order to obtain a modern road. Under our present system well built and durable highways can not bc hoped for ns tho present con dition of our roads do well attest. Experience will prove, I am sure, that it is wise economy to spend time and money on ihis work, and I believe that our people now realise this sufficiently to bo willing to defray whatever cost may be neces sary. In my judgment the various counties in our State should be given the legal right to tax themselves for this purpose should they deem it best to do so. To this end, therefore, I recoin mend such legislation as you may deem judicious and which will give to the counties tho right, by, a majority vote, either to issue bonds or to levy an annual tax for road im provement. Money voted for the improvement of our roads will be an excellent business investment, the value of whioh will be more appre ciated every year. As all citizens, whether in town or country, will be equally benefited by such an vest ment, it is but fair that all should be made to bear their share of the burden, and this can only be done by a tax upon property. The building of public highways ' ia now a national question. National good roads associations have been formed and arc actively at work to secure aid for this purpose from tho national government. Senator Lati mcr baa been doing active and vigor ous work along this line and is very much interested. It seems to me that if national aid is to bc given for thia work there is no reason why we in South Carolina should not have our share of such an appropriation. The co-operation of our national govern ment in this matter is no new polioy. No partloUlar State has paramount claims hero and it would, in my judg ment, be an error for South Carolina not to secure her portion of any ap propriation for tho permanent im provement of her highways that may bo availablo from this source. Thc plethoric condition of tho na tional treasury isa further favorable consideration of this aspect of the ouse. IIUKKAU OF IMMIGRATION. It is recommended that a bureau of commerce and immigration be established to advertise and exploit tho commercial and agricultural re sources and advantages of the State. It is pointed out that nearly every Stute in tho Union has such depart-, ment of the Slate government, and that good results are being accom plished. South Carolina has nothing of the kind and tho needs are very pressing and aro daily felt. THE HAMPTON MONUMENT. Referring to the wish of the peo ple of the State for the erection of a monument to perpetuate and honor the memory of Wade Hampton the Governor says : With this objeot in view you ap propriated At your last session th? sam of $20,000, whioh sum was to be available when the people of our State should raise $10,000 for this purpose, and I had the honor of ap pointing aoommittee from your body to take oharge of this work. Many reasons have operated against the completion of this subscription, the prinoiplo one beitag the inability of the committee to reach the people. The treasurer of this committee has reported to me that $5,467.80 of the required amount has been secured to date. In my judgment it i H best that there should be no further de lay, AA th?? ia a matter where senti ment and pride are oonoerned, and I recommend that you make the amount already appropriated at once available and instruct your commit tee to proceed with its work. JUDICIAL ('ll A NC i:s. The Governor recommends the establishment of two new judicial circuits and the repeal of the law providing for the holding of special courts and the appointment of spe cial judges. He also recommends that the law as to county courts be ohanged so as to allow the larger counties which need them to estab lish such county courts by a popular vote. LYNCHINGS. The Governor says tho occurrence of lynchings .from time to time in the State are of course deplored, but he admits that lynchings will never oe?Se until the crime which causos them oeases. Ho recommends that the punishment for the crime of attempt to oommit rape, whioh is now ten years imprisonment, bo ohanged to life imprisonment. THE DISPENSARY. The Governor says there has been an improvement in the enforcement, of the dispensary law throughout the State, and that tho law is gene rally working more satisfactorily. Tho total net profits from the dis pensary during 1903 was $638,428.35, an increase of $71,584.02. The Governor says tho increased sales of the dispensary does not necessarily mean that there is an inorease in tho consumption of liquor in the State, but shows that a larger amount of the liquor used in the State is pur chased lhrough*the dispensary. A WORLD'S FAIR EXIIIIUT. The Governor recommends that an appropriation be made for the erec tion of a South Carolina building at the St. Louis exposition, that it be made headquarters for the proposed commissioner of commerce and im migration, where literature advertis ing and exploiting the resources of the State may bo circulated. Ul KM NIAL SESSIONS. Governor Heyward puts himself on record as being in favor of bien nial sessions of the General Assem bly. A bill to amend the constitu tion passed the Senate at the last session and is now pending in the House. The Governor hopes it will pass the House at this session and be submitted to the people for ratifica tion. -? - Pneumonia and La Grippe. Coughs cured quickly by Foley's Honey and Tar.

Boise, Idaho, January 16.-A re markable case of a woman masquer ading as a man has beon discovered at Rockville, in the Western part of tho State near the Oregon line. A few days ago Joo Monoghan, a well known cowboy, died suddenly on on Succor creek in Oregon. When the body was being prepared for burial it was found the deceased was a woman. She had ridden the ranges of eastern Oregon for twenty five years and was well known as an expert, faithful, untiring cowboy. Sho was about 54 years old and bad nerved on juries and voted in all elections. Half and Half.

Address . R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N, Y, LEGISLATURE IN SESSION. General Assembly Does Little on Opening Day-The Liability BUL Columbia, January 12.-Armed with a carload of billa, not a few of whioh are aimed at corporations, members of tho Gene? ral Assembly met in Columbia and greased the legislative machinery for the forty-day session. Governor Hey ward's message was read in the Senate and the House, but the work of the first session was brief, being confined to routine matters. Eloquent tribute was paid to General Gordon by the Governor, who transmitted a special measage. A committee wus appointed to at tend the funeral and the delegation left with tbe patriotic sooieties for Atlanta. Gordon's picture in the Senate chamber was draped in mourning. ? ' There was a wrangle in tho House about the eleotion of an Associate Justioe, dispensary officiate and others and it waa finally agreed to have the committee on privileges to report Wednesday at noon. The fine Italian hand of the poli tician is apparent and those most anxious for the glory are seeking time for campaign work. The liability bill, brought over from the last session, got on the calendar to-day. This measure ex tends the rights and remedies of em ployes of railroad corporations, as provided by the constitution to em ployes of cotton and all textile mill corporations and telegraph compa nies. The committee on oomraeroe and manufacture, to which the bill was referred, made an unfavorable re port, urging that it should not pass, but a minority report oame in. The better sentiment in the Legislature is against the bill, whioh will se riously effect the great cotton indus try. The purpose seems to be to aid the operatives when they are not expeoting or demanding it and will simply fill the court dockets with oases which oan be settled otherwise. The cheap element of the legal pro fession naturally approves inasmuch as it offers great possibilities for those who live on damage suits. 8KCOND DAY. Columbia, January 18.-In the House to-day a great deal of sub stantial work was accomplished. The railroads had things rather against them in that three bills, whioh are not calculated to help the railroad corporations, were passed to a third reading, and a bill looking to outlaw ing slot machines was also ordered to a third reading. The slot ma chines and the railroads were the only ones that bad troubles to-day. All other bills wero oither passod over, withdrawn or made special or ders. The special report of the leg islative committee appointed at tho last session, charged with reporting a plan upon which the State could get upon a cash basis, was presented by the committee to-day. A special order was made of all bills relative to biennial sessions for next Wednesday at 12 o'clock. A special order was made for to morrow and evory day thereafter un til disposed of of all measures relating to special terms of courts and a solu tion of the matter of extra courts or now judicial circuits. Quito a number of nsw bills were presented during the day bearing upon a variety of topics, and the boll weevil subject made its first appear ance to day in tho shapo of a bill to prevent its introduction into South Carolina. The Senate had a very brief ses sion. Thirty-four bills on the calen dar left over from last year were called in regular order, but aotion on all were postponed. The Governor has vetoed a bill re lating to towns of 6,000 inhabitants subscribing to tho support of libraries, because tho aot was superfluous, there already being a law on the subjeot. THIRD DAY. Columbia, January 14.-Without discussion of any kind the House to-day killed the Johnson bill to pro hibit strikes and lookouts in cotton mills, but the labor element, is pre pared to renew the fight at this ses sion. The same measure will come up again, Mr. Towhill having sent it to the engrossing department imme diately after the vote was announced. While the first measure, affeoting the textile industry was defeated, the calendar will again be filled with the same sort of legislation. Mr. Haskell's bill, providing for a record of every birth, marriage and death in the State, was killed. It had no bearing on the present mar riage law, but objection was raised because it was claimed to be an open ing wedge to the divorce law and it died accordingly. Nearly an hour waa waisted by a long, wrangling debate on Dr. Doyle's bill to prohibit treating on eleotion day. The debate showed strong prohibition tendency and the bill finally went to a third reading. The question of reduoing the pri vilege tax on fertilizer, the fund from whioh gosa to the support of Clem son College, brought forth muoh dit oussioo, but was finally passed over for future consideration. The twelve-hour bill for railroad employees waa introduced in the House by Mr. Blackwood and in the Senate by Mr. Hydrick, both from Sparenburg. It prohibits a railroad from keeping an employee on duty more than twelve hours and provides a penalty for any violation. Mr. Morgan, of Greenville, intro duced a bill to-day to place all tele phone companies under the jurisdic tion of the Railroad Commission. This body will have oowei to regu late rates, to compel connections at intermediate pointa and the fixing of raus relative to local aa well as to long distance service. The Senate did practically nothing. It was deoided to postpone dispen sary elections until uer " week. Ta ' tum, of Orangeburg, haa no opposi tion for Commissioner, but J. P. McDermott, of Horry, will oppose H. H. Evana for Chairman of the Board. TUB STATE'S FINANCES. The State baa now on hand enough money to run the goverment until next November, or until taxes come in, $467,148.74, and if the State was run strictly on a cash basis thip would be all that could be appropri ated, but such will not bo thc case. The total olaims against the State, including uotes and other matters of this kind, amount to $516,779.05, and the cash balance amounts to $206,083.08. There is outstanding, however, including the $80,000 se cured by Senator Tillman, which the General Assembly may plao to the general fund, $776,987.61. This makes a total of $988,920.69, and with the $516,776.95 subtracted from this there will be a balance of $167,143.74. The many friends of G. H. Hausan, engineer on L. ?. A W. R.

A Philadelphia dispatch says : Arrested for preaohing on the street, Mrs. Carrie Nation made a scene in oourt when the police surgeon re quested permission to vaccinate her. She was not inoculated with vacoine, but the incident gave her an opportu nity to make a few remarks. Mrs. Nation was waiting with the other prisoners in the court when the surgeon oame around. "I don't want that filthy stuff in my blood," she cried. "I'm a pure woman. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. When you want to give alcohol you havo to go down into your dirty, filthy poison bottles to get it, don't you ? You outght to be ashamed of yourself." Dr. Fritz did not press the matter when he found out who his patient was, but tbe irrepressible Carrie tried to continue her lecture when Bhe was arraigned. "I want to say, your honor"-she began, but Magistrate Cunningham out her short. "You're discharged," he exclaimed, Jointing one finger at her, and then [rs. Nation left the court, endeavor ing when at the door, to snatch a cigar from tho lips of a policeman. Killed.

Senator Tillman haa written a let? ter to ihe Spartanburg Journal de fending bis position on the Panama canal treaty. He say's : To the Editor of the Journal : I have just read your article in the Journal of January 4, "Senator Till man and the Canal Treaty." I recog nize the right of any of my constitu - ents to take issue with me aud my course as a Senator and to oritioise my publio utterances and actions. I also know that The Journal bas al ways been fair and usually friendly towards me. I therefore feel that it is due myself as w jil as my constituents who agree with you to say something in answer to the editorial in question. As to "personal hostility to Presi dent Roosevelt," I would not allow so petty and ignoable a spirit as that, I hope, to govern my action, and I am surprised that you put it as one of the excuses moving me. In brief, I want to say that my opposi tion to Ibo Paiiama canal treaty arises from the faot that the notions of our executive leading up to it, and tho record of the transaction as a whole is the most contemptible and disgusting, nay, disgraceful, in all our diplomatio annals. I favor an isthmian oanal and have no choice of routes, rather preferring the Panama to any other because it is shorter; but that a just govern ment like this should engage in the praotioe of a sneak thief, and having obtained a pretence for action based on secession and then have the Presi dent to utilize the army and navy if the marines fail-and they stand ready to aot when the marines fail to coerce a weak power like Colom bia is something I cannot endorse or approve. There would have been sonio palliation, some excuse, if we bad as a nation boldly declared that Colombia was obstructing the pro gress of civilization and was a bar to international commerce and then taken possession of the isthmus under the law of international emi nent domain and proceeded to con struct the oanal without regard to consequences. But the honor of the United States is dearer to rae than any benefit that may accrue to the United States or any part of it from the building of such a oanal, and whatever may be the opinion of Democrats, "commercial" or other wise, about ignoring tho principles of common honesty and common fair play, I will never give a vote as Se nator from South Carolina endorsing this infamous policy or making a treaty with one man representing nothing, and using that as an excuse to coerce Colombia from maintaining her sovereignty over tho isthmus. There is nothing but the shadow of a government iu Panama and no one oan deny that. This may be partizanship, but I trust nt least it is common honesty and I hope tho people of South Caro lina after they understand, if they do not already understand my attitude,, will commend it. I certainly know as much about what is going on as any one in South Carolina. Whether they do or not I am on the ground. I have no motive other than that of discharging my duty as Senator here, and I shall certainly do that with the light before me without fear, favor or affection. If it meets the approval of my fellow citizens I shall be happy. If not I shall bo content because as Senator from South Caro lina I do not wish to do anything that will reflect on tboso of my great predecessors who never forgot the rules of common honesty in dealing with their neighbors and who loved the honor of the republic more than they did material advancement.
