HOME LICGISLATIVK MATTERS. Senator Shclor Begins a Besinne nf Work ia Assembly. To tho People of Oconce: The 1919 session of tho General Assembly bas ended after a forty seven days' session, and your Repre sentatives are again at borne among you, with some kimi of record bo llilld them. An account of their .?to wa ni sh ip seems now ill order. There is probably some virtue in ?mr conduct as Repr?sentatives, and most likely many mistakes. Human nature is prone to err; mistakes j.re incident to human conduct. If (Mich are intentional or corrupt, there should bo no pardon, but if honest, then I am sine a generous public will not too severely condemn. Your Senator, at least, is now ready to give a reason for the faith tlutt ls in him and for the motive that prompted him In his every action. As ho sees it now, he has no act. for which to apologize, as he is conscious of tho fact that every move made hy Ililli was prompted by a supreme desire to further the best interests of a generous public who reposed such completo confi dence in him as was shown by tho great, majority of people in nominat ing him as Oconce's Senator. Your Senator submerged every other con sideration in a supreme effort to serve tho State and her whole peo ple in a fair and equitable effort to benefit all without hurting any, and to this end has advocated and voted for many measures and opposed and voted against many others. He bas no apology to make for his advocacy or vote, and when his motives and actions become known, he feels as sured the people will approve Iiis every move, because he has con sulted their very best interests and lias not In a single instance played politics or corruptly followed tho lead of any man to tlmlr hurt. Every measure advocated has boen with the sole purpose of making the peo ple more prosperous, contented and happy, and the county a better coun try in which to live. I, as your Senator, desire that you know all my acts and purposes, und to this end I am going, in a few articles in Thc Keowce Courier, lo give you a statement of what 1 have undertaken to do as your representa tive and striven to prevent being done, and just leave it to my con stituency lo judfi'- mo. whether ' was righi <>\ not. mid whether the insinuations M r< svii . i mo wore ji -< to build a road across the county to demonstrate what good roads would t'o for a progressive people; and to 'bis end 1 selected Hie road thal would cost tho least money to build and at the same tim' accommodate the greatest number of people. Tho road selected, to-wit. from Salem to Knox's llridge, would have fur nished a (traded road for more than half the voters in Oconoe county, lo every market in Hie county, and j would have taken to build it very j little more than it lakes to keep up the roads as now located. The road would have given a graded road to Seneca, Westminster and Walhalla from the following points: Salem. Tamassee, Oconoe station. Oconee Creek, Ebonezer, Wolf Stake, New Hope, Wet urn. Cross Roads (To keena), Townville, Oakway, South I'nion, Fair Play, and all that part of the county lying to the south of South Union; and all this I calcu lated could be achieved with less than ton thousand dollars. Tho bill to accomplish this I introduced in tho Senate, and it was killed by our delegation in the House, to my croat disappointment and regret. The excuse for killing tho bill, as one of our delegation in the House gave it to nie, was "because I had planned the whole thing tn my office before we went, down." In the same b'll was a provision for the repair of the Sttimphouse Mountain road, which is now impassable; and this bill died in the House with the other provisions. We have never stood in greater need of good roads than WC do right now. WO badly need roads from the farms to the markets, and while so many of the political leaders are now striving to put through a bill to tax all the people and automobiles to build a road LEMON .ICICH IS EltEOKLK REMO Y EU. Girls! Make this cheap beauty lotion to clear and whiten your skin. Squeeze tho juice of two lemons into a bottle! containing three ounces of orchard white, shake well, and you have a quarter pint of tho best freckle and tan lotion, and com plexion beautifier, at very, very email cost. Your grocer has Hie lemons and any drug store or toi lot counter will supply three ounces of orchard white for ti few cents. .Massage this sweet ly fragrant lotion into the face, nock, arms and hands each day and see how freckles and blemishes dis appear and how clear, soft and white tho skin becomes. Yes! it ls harm less. adv. I from Court Mouse t. wns to Court Mouse towns (a bill for which our .Mr. .McDonald, after voting against our own good roads bill, voted for), I stood pat for roads from tho farms to tho marketa first. For years our county authorities have been scrap ing the dirt tn tlie roads, where the very lirst rain that comes carries it into the streams. 1 felt sure that tills practice of waste should bo abandoned and a system of a perma nent nature and of sp?cial benefit ! to those of our people who make the locad and meat for the world should be adopted lirst, and then roads for joy-riders provided if desired. I gavo all lins serious consideration, and concluded that the only way to give our people the roads which they so much need and desire was to al low them tho privilege of voting bouda with which to grade and drain their own roads; and to this end 1 introduced a bill submitting tho question of issuing Hie bonds, for the building of such roads, to the people for thoir decision. I hold a consultation with the House mem bers about this bill, and they, or one of them, suggested that we put over tho bond issue without sub mitting tho same lo any vote at all, to which I replied: "Never; a satis fied people is worth more than the money. I'll never put bonds on my people without their consent." After consulting over tho matter we all concluded that we would put the lull through, and that as we wore going to put a tax on property, a higher commutation lax should be imposed. I had introduced the bill for a bond issue, and .Mr. McDonald introduced a bill to raise the com mu tation road tax to two dollars and a half, and he made it a crime not to pay this tax. We separated with the understanding that we would put these bills through. On motion of Mr. McDonald, the bond bill was killed in the House, but neverthe less, after he had killed the bond bill be introduced the commutation road tax. and when it came over to the Senate 1 attended its funeral without much ceremony. 1 also introduced a bill to pro vide for an advisory board to the Supervisor, to be composed of two of the host men in the county, and provided that no expensive work should be entered upon without the approval of this board, composed of ; tho two men above mentioned and j the Supervisor.

I suppose you would like to hear something about tho political condi tion of China, but 1 fear that nothing which I could say would give any idea of the situation, lt is said that p, man who had written a book on the political condition of China had to rewrite half of it because half of it was not true by the time he liad all of it written, and that he was afraid by the time he had the book printed the other half would not be true!
