It is not at all likely that any effort will be made in the Senate to consider it. If I; Buch an effort is .made, it is confidently asserted that it will be defeated by the aid of Republican votes. The Senate does not intend to touch it while there is so much more important business await l^^ing action. The second session of the 51st Congress ^convened last Monday. After calling fVv the roll and swearing in several new .members, the President's annual message ; was received and read. The reading of the document consumed an hour and a half, and at the conclusion of the reading the Eepoblicans warmly applauded its sentiments., The message is lengthy and reads very well. The President defends the McKinley bill, and insists upon the passage of the force bill. The session of Congress promises to be an interesting ^Xrone. '.-.. The Manufacturer's Record of Novem ^ij'-^ehAer^od; in its weekly review of the ??U,South'sindustrial progress, says: "Not /. withstanding the excitement in the great " . financial centres of the worid, there has .f been no halting in the South's industrial progress. It is already being demonstra ? " ted that capitalists driven from Wall ?.^Street stock speculations by such trouble 4?; -as we have been passing through are turn? ing their attention to the South, where Vitinyestmehts are safer and where the pro Hv "'fits are greater:' The South moves along ? a3 though there had been no sign of V^nancial trouble anywhere." |v>:::.'Hon? William Elliott is to represent South Carolina's eeventh district in the ?-Syhexfc Congress. The State Board of Can? vassers have given him the certificate of election. This gives South Carolina sev ; en Democratic Congressmen and no Re? publicans. T. E. Miller, the colored ?^Se^uWican, contested the election, " : claiming a brge majority, Thia majority j^lwas.thrown out by the canvassers on the ground that they were illegal, on account t0,oV the color and size. Miller appealed to S$?the State Board. They could not decide, and-the Supreme Court gave the certifi? cate to Elliott. Miller will contest the election before the next Congress. HI OUR COLUMBIA LETTER. Columbia, S. C, Dec. 1st, 1890. Mb. Editor: At your request I send some legislative news, though, at this iCeaily. stage, there is but little of interest jhVwxite. r The Anderson delegation have settled |3own:to hard work, or are beginning to get-ready for work. Messrs. Glenn, Bowden and Breazeale are at the Grand " Central Hotel, and Messrs. Earle and Cox rare comfortably domiciled at a private .house, only a abort distance from the Grand Central, so that it is but little trouble to get together. Our delegation has organised by electing Mr. Cox as Chairman and Mr. Bowden as Secretary. ' The delegation are on the following Committees: J. W. Bowden, on Commit? tee of Ways and Means, and Chairman tof^Committee on Public PrintiDg; J. E. ? Breazeale, on Judiciary Committee; Com? mittee on Accounts, and Committee on Rules;, J. R. Earle, on Committee on Education and Committee on Public : Printing. Speaker Irby presides with ease, and is receiving encomiums from all sides. He is prominently spoken of for U. S. Sena? tor to succeed Gen. Hampton, but I have been informed has not declared himself a candidate. The friends of Gen. Hamp? ton are pressing his claims for re-election with a good deal of zeal, but just uow the current seems to be agaiust his return. His friends are trying to work up a 'sentiment for him on his past service to ' the State, his war record, and his grand old name. Others contend that he has ;een fully paid by the State for his past and that many others have ren lered ' service to the State as well as . Hampton; that his war record, though good, should not be the only, or chief .'qualification for office in South Carolina, and that men should be elected to office . ^r for their qualification and fitness, and not /oh account of their names. It is hard to "'".'foretell the result of the race, but it is :.)~-y. one of the possibilities?I should say ". probabilities,?that a dark horse will win. There are several candidates for Rail? road Commissioners, also for Superinten? dent of the Penitentiary. Among the latter is Julius R. Earle, Jr., a son of ?Bev. J. R. Earle, and he has made quite a favorable impression on many of the %:T-K- Representatives. Mr. Earle has the en? dorsement of many of the leading citizens ' "* '>; of the State, with the solid Oconee and Anderson delegation. Several Bills have been introduced in ??'." both Houses of the General Assembly, and as soon as the Committees begin to roport the Legislature will have its hand* full. Mr. Glenn has introduced in the Senate a Bill to abolish the office of Jury Com . misBioner, and to devolve the duties thereof on the County Auditor; a Bill to repeal the Act authorizing the levy of a tax of one quarter of a mill for Anderson County for permanent improvement of roads, and to use the surplus in the Treasury for that purpose for General ex? penses of the County; a bill to amend the Act which exempts Road Overseers from duty who have served two years, and a Bill to reduce the mileage of the members of the State Board of Equalization from 10 cents to 5 cents per mile. Mr. Breazeale has introduced two Bills - '-'I in the House to amend portions of the |pr,> Be vised Statutes. . ;The present outlook is for hard work % and a press for time to get through before the holidays. Mr. Zimmerman, of Oconee, to-day in? troduced a Bill to charter the Western Carolina Railroad Company. Mr. Breazeale will introduce to-morrow a Bill to charter the Anderson and South if ? : Port Railroad Company. The House has done but little to day, but will have quite a number of Bills to consider to morrow on their second read ing, and from the present prospect, Judg? ing from the number of Bills already in r troduced, will be kept busy during the rest of the session. The salaries of all . the State officers and their clerks will probably bo red?ed. A Bill to aboiish attorneys' cost has been introduced, aud stands a chance of being passed. This Bill, if it should pass, would cause the successful party in all cases to pay for enforcing his rights in the Courts. There is a disposition on the part of many lawyers in the House not to oppose it. Several of the farmers with whom I have conversed oppose it, because it would be unjust and unfair to the party in the right, to be compelled to pay more to get his rights. The members are inclined to be con? servative, and I do not look for any rad? ical changes in our laws, though I look for an abolition of seme offices, and a general reduction of salaries. J. E. B. CHIMES AND CASUALTIES. Spartanburg, S. C, November 26.? William Evans, a white fireman on the second section of freight train No. 20, ?was killed at Cowpens this morning. Five cars became detached from the train. Evans was standing on the tender when the detached cars collided with the train, knocked him off and the cars ran over his legs, crushing them into jelly. He died three hours later. Marion, November 27.?News has just reached here of the horrible death of the fifteen-year- old daughter of Mr. C. W. Wiggins in the upper part of this County, and of the probable death of another lady, whose name cannot just now be found out. The unknown lady was teaching school, and Miss Wiggins was one of her pupils. The clothes of the young girl caught on fire while standing by the fire, and in the efforts of her teacher to subdue the fire both were horribly burned, bo much so that Miss Wiggins died in a few minutes, and the teacher is not expected to live. Charlotte, N. C, November 26.? The fast mail and express train No. 52, bound for Atlanta, and due here at 12:40 o'clock this evening, came in ten minutes behind time, This delay was very slight, and would not have excited comment, but for the tale the passengers told. The ton minutes' delay was tbe result of a stoppage to take up the body of a man who was dashed to death by the engine. The dead man was Frank M. Eisman, and he was killed near China Grove, about twenty-eight miles north of Char? lotte, and almoBt within sight of his home. This is the fast train, which makes no stops between Salisbury and Concord, and it was approaching a road crossing, near China Grove, under full speed. The warning notes of the engine whistle sounded out clear, but as the en? gine was within fifty feet of the crossing, a horse drawing a covered wagon got directly on the track. The inevitable result followed.- The engine shot through the wagon, breaking it into a thousand splinters, and flying among the timbers was the body of the occupant of tbe wagon. He was killed instantly. Neigh? bors recognized him as* Mr, M. Eisman, and bis home was near by. He did not bear tbe approaching train and the wag? on cover prevented him from seeing it. An Imposing Inauguration, Columbia, November 30.?Mr. John Gary Evans, who has the present charge of the programme for the inauguration ceremonies, furnished the News and Cou? rier to-day with an official order of the incidents for next Thursday. It is as fol? lows: The General Assembly will meet in tbe House of Representatives at 12.30 o'clock, p. m. The procession from the ball will be formed as follows: Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. Governor elect Tillman ; Senator R. R. Hemphill.

It will be erected just in front of tbe Capitol and in the most convenient manner for the entrance thereon of those named and others. The front row of seats will be occupied by the Supreme Court, the new Adminis? tration,, the old Administration, Gen. Capers, officers of the Senate and House, and distinguished guests. Two bands will be in attendance for the entertainment of the crowd while as? sembling and waiting. The expected crowd is variously estimated all the way up from 10,000 to 25,000 people. Gover? nor-elect Tillman and his family will ar? rive here on Wednesday morning.?News I and Courier. Wade Hampton Shot. Columbia, S. C, November 26.? While the farmers in the legislature are preparing to put Senator Wade Hampton out of bis seat in the United States Senate, that veteran soldier and states? man lies at the house on his Mississippi plantation Buffering from a painful and serious gun-shot wound in the head. Senator Hampton's son-in-law, Colonel Haskell, this evening received the infor? mation that while tbe senator was bird shooting with his son on the Mississippi plantation, the latter had accidentally shot his father in the head. It was at first reported that one of the Senator's eyes was destroyed; but, while he was struck in the eye by the shot, the sight has not been lost. While hunting in the swamps of the Mississippi, three years ago, the Senator accidentally killed his horse. He was far from assistance, and in his lamed condition had great difficul? ty in reaching home. This makes the third serious accident that has befallen this ardent sportsman while hunting dur? ing the past thirteen years. East Town Creek Items. We desire, for once, at least, Mr. Editor, to let tbe many readers of your valuable paper hear from our section. The health of this community is excep tionably good at this time, and everything seemiucly quiet. The farmers are winding up the last of tnis years' crop. The officers have visited one colored citizen and levied upon nearly everything he had in his possession. His colored neighbors say he boasts of having lived well and fat up to this time. One of our neighbors is brightening up the appearance of his premises by the lib? eral use of the whitewash brush. Rumor says the turkey is up fattening, and tbat the preacher and his wife have been in? vited to dine with this good neighbor Christmas week. Listen, boys, aud 3rou will hear tbe wedding bells ringing about tbat home at tbat time. One of our young men is doing some big talkiug about having made his choice of a life companion, and we presume he will soon be tied up in the matrimonial knot. If it stays cold a few days longer, we expect to dine on fresh pork. Bonoo, Ma. Editor: Please let me explain a little in regard to the resolutions adopted by Towuville School No. 1, three weeks ago. Right or wrong, I was the author of them, and, perhaps, they were adopted without change out of kindness to myself. The action taken by tbe County School Board at time of the "litigation" was only known by me from beresay, but from the source I judged it to be correct, and be? cause I was opposed to the litigation at first and have regretted it ever siuce, and was anxious for tho decision as reported to me to be rescinded, bonce the reason of my asking the patrons of our school to adopt the resolutions. On yesterday I saw, for the first time, what was said to be 1 a true copy of the Board's decision in the case, and to my mind it is susceptible of being construed both ways, as expressed in resolutions and an claimed by the friends of the other school. I am sure my motives in the matter were siucero, and believe the same of those who acted with me. And this is all I havo to say. T. C. Li?ox. Tewnvitle, Aw. 2f, ISM. Programme of tho Teach or s' Acaoclatlon. The uoxt uiocting of the Teachers' As? sociation, of this County, will be held on Saturday, 20th inst., at 11 a. m. in the chapel of the Patrick Military Institute, in this city.

"Which is the more potent factor in school government, love or fear," Dr. S-. Lander, I specially desire to meet all, or as many as possiblo, of the teachers of the County ou that day, that I may mingle with them once more and take my farewell of them. D. H. Russell, School Com. Andersonville Items. Again, I knock for admittance to the columns of your valuable paper, the IN? telligencer. As far as we have heard, Mr. J A. Jones is ahead on the pig question tin this sec? tion. His eleven-mouths-old pig netted him two hundred and sixty-one pounds. Many thanks, "Jack," in remembering poor old B. J.

We are loth to give him up. It is Geor? gia's gain this time. Hon. E. P. Earle favored his many friends in this vicinity with a short visit this week. The farmers are about through sowing wheat, and from all accounts the acreage in small grain will be large. Well, Mr. Editor, from all accounts, your city is on a boom, and now I wish to see your paper follow suit. Why not give your many, many readers, we can't say a better paper, but, a semi-weekly ?

Timmon8, Postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes: "ElectricBitters has done more for me than all other medicines com? bined, for that , bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place says : "Find E'.ectric Bitters to be the best Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel like a new man." J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town says: Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies; he found new strength, good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease on life.

Real Estate is not assessed this year, 1891, and remains at the same valuation it was in 1890, except in cases where parties have bought and sold between the first day of January, 1890, and the first day of January, 1891. All new structures erected between the first day of January, 1890, and the first day of January, 1891, are to be returned this year 1891 for taxation, and those destroyed during that time deducted. All Life and Real Estate Insurance Agents will please make their Companies tax returns for the year, 1891 A good way for the Tax Payer who has much property to return, is to make a memorandum of each building and its val? ue, the number of Horses, Cattle, Mules, Sheep, and Goats, Hogs, Watches, Organs, and Pianos, Buggies, Wagons and Carria? ges, Dogs, Merchandise, Machinery, Monies, Notes and Accounts (above indebtedness] Furniture, Ac, which will save the Tax Payer time, and enable the Assessor to progress in the work. Tax Payers return what they own ou the fir^t day of January, 1891. Assessors and Tax Payers will enter the first given name of the Tax Payer in fall, and in backing their returns, enter their surname first, also make a separate return for each party for the Township the prop? erty is in, and where the Tax Payer owns Realty, to insert the Po3toflice as their place of residence, and those who only own Per? sonal Property to give the parties name who owns the land they live on as their residence, which aids the Tax Payer, as well as the County Treasurer, in making the collec? tion and preventing errors. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years, on the first day of January, 1891, except those iucapuble ot earning a support from being maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. All returns that are made after the twen? tieth of February next, have to be placed on the Additional List, and fifty per cent, penalty added thereto, unless prevented by sickness, or out of the County during the time of listing. Not knowing the time of listing is no excuse ; and all owners of real estate might do their Tenants, who cannot read or take a newspaper, a great favor by making their returns, or telling them the time of listing, and thatif they fail to make their returns, that the valuation has to be increased fifty per cent., unless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting taxes is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the horses, cattle, mules. &c. as well as the acres of land, lots and buildings and their value that there is in the County, and have the same on file in the Comptroller Gener? al's office by the thirtieth day of June each year, aud from that time to the first of Octobor each year, the Auditor and Treas? urer's Duplicate has to be completed, and an abstract of the work in tho Comptroller'*! olDce by that time, whioh will show, at a glance, that the Auditor haB no time to take in returns, or anything else much, between the first day of Marchand the first day of October each year, but work on the books aud blanks. Thereforo, hope thatall Tax Payers will do us the favor of making their returns in time. THOMAS J. WEBB, Auditor Anderson County. STRAYED!
