Lotter from Representative Mann. Columbia, 8. C., February 8,\ 1907. Editors of the Keowee Courier-Dear Sirs: I have been thinking for days that I would write you a short letter to let you j know how I think things are going down | here. Some thing? I like a ai others I do not. Some of the legislation I think wiae and some unwise. The lien lav was killed In the House by a large majority, but it'? hard to tell how it will be in the Senate. The House has also killed the buoket shops by a good majority. We have sent the dispensary wounded, tading and dying to the Senate, where think it will breathe its last Its doomed, damned and will soon bo de livered. This I hope and this I believe. I did not like the high sobool bill and did all I could to defoat it, but failed in my efforts to kill it. In my judgment it was un wiso to havo suoh a law. , I am doing the very best I oan for my County and my State. I will guard their rights as I would {my own-more so, as I have buen entrusted with their oare. Winthrop oolloge oomes asking for $30,000 appropriation to build a training Behool for teachers. If any of these State institutions ask for an appropria tion they are apt to get it. Hut it ia a shame to see how the publio Bohools in tho rural districts aro discriminated against by the Legislature, and in my judgment the men who fail to mako good their promise* ought to be left at homo. We have a bill ou the calendar asking for $200,000 appropriation for the publio schools, to be distributed acoordiug to enrollment. This is where it ought to go. You may look out for somothing doing when this oomes up in the House. Some of us are going to stand by it first, last and all the time. $ I have been too busy to write muob ?ince I oame down here. Hoping you d your colabor?is are well, I am truly nts, C. D. Mann. fOLEY^Kl?N?YC?BB Makes Kidneys and Bladder Right Caroy-Colhran BMI Pams Se?ale. Columbia, Feb. 0.- The Senate met thin morning at ll o'clock with a heavy oelendar of third-reading bills and the Carey-Cothran bill set for the day. Senator Otis called for special order No. 288, the Carey-?othran bill, and the work of amending the bill wa? re-com meuced. The amendments wore nunier our and were adopted without discus sion. The work resembled a funeral procession, thero being but one or two Senators voting on eaoh amendment. The volo stood 17 to 20 against tabling. The amendment was th?n adopted. The Carey-Cothran bill was then oalled up for passage, the ayes and nays were oalled, whioh roeulted in its passage by a vote of 21 to 16. Columbia, Feb. H.-The House to-day, without division, passed a bill to abolish the Stato dispensary and wind up ita affairs and sell all stock and property in sub-dispensaries, an well as Stato dispen sary, through a commission of Ave, to be appointed by the Governor. The presont county boardB may purobase from the oommissiou stooks of goods for the now order of things. The Houxe this morning killed the bill appropriating $05,000 for a now indus trial Mellool at Florence. The bill pro vided that the amount was to be paid back in five yoarly installments. Vote was 50 to 48. Friends of the institution say their only hope now to prevent the reformatory failing is to provide for it in the appropriation bill, whioh appears to bo a forlorn hope. The Woman's federation of clubs has backed the reformatory, scouring the passage last year of a bill OBtablishing the institution. Getting it started was the life work of Mrs. I,a v. roneo Orr Pat terson, one of tho federations' presi dents, whose death was followed hy the passage of the act by her son, then serv ing as a member of the Legislature.
