Democratic Senators have coicuion ced a general attack on the Philip pine tarif! bill, and they say they have enough ammunition on hand to keep the lighting lively for sumo lime to come. Lil', in every department ol' busi ness is made up of successes and fail ures, cf advances and retreats. Th'1 tide never flows long in one direction, and let us t/ust that thc year before u has ric.'> stores of blessings fur all who honestly strive to better their condition. - ^ - ? ltcciprocity with Cuba is like re ciprocity with every other country. It means a huge benefit to the Ameri can farmer and a slight injury to one or another of the great American trusts. And since the trusts are hav ing the say now, the farmer will have to take out his share of the benefits of protection in waiting. The busy springtime will soon bi here, with so much to be done and so little time in which to do it, ag gravated this year by the difficulty in securing competent help on thc farm. It has come to this-that wherever the horse and thc machine can be made to do the work of thc man it must be done, or fewer acres must be tilled._ The Emperor of Germany is deter mined to keep on the best terms with Uncle Sam by his several compliments in tho past few months, (?erman re gard for American doctrine in dealing with foreign powers, as well as the kaiser's attentions to Miss Uoosovelt, followed by Prince Henry's coming visit to Washington, certainly point to good feeling. It will cost tho government $170, 000 for common garden eccds and $28,000 for clerical help to scatter them among thc people who have no usc on earth for them. These seeds, though, undoubtedly have quito an influence politically in determining the fate of many a congressman, and thus is explained why so many old seeds get places in congress. The latest indictment against the trusts is brought by a New York divine, who declares) that they aro re sponsible for the decrease in tha num ber cf marriages in this country, since they have increased the cost of living so as to make it impossible for the average young man working on a sal ary to support a wife and family. There is moro truth then poetry in this. _ It is said .hat the old-time tradi tion that v, roon must wait for a mat rimonial proposal is to be relegated to the attic. A western movement by a St. Louis elergymau favors proposal by women. Many women support themselves and a husband, and if a woman is able to support a husband, she should certainly have something to say, in faot everything to say, in the selection of one. And now the scientists tell us th Lt the fine flavor of buttor is not deri ved from buttercups, blue graso and corn, but from bugs-bacteria-of refined and pedigreed sort, and that by inoculating the milk or cream with starter containing these bacteria a fine flavor can be produoed in any cream not spoiled. The secret of successful butter making is hereafter to lie in getting the right sort of starter. Great is science. There are a score of men in Amer ica whose fortunes exeeed those of monarchs of one hundred years ago. But instead of using their vast wealth in selfish pleasure and extravagant pagentry, many of them are using it for the promotion of industries through which thousands live with comforts unknown to kings of the past century, while a fev, of whom Mr. Carnegie is most conspicuous, are lavishing millions for the public benefit. Men will always seek to obtain their sustenance in the easiest possible way, and thus it comes that where climatic conditions require effort for man to make a living he thereby be comes a better type of man. Work thus becomes the world's greatest blessing, and in all climates where man is thus stimulated to effort to live there will be found the men mighty with the 3Word, great in story, art and song, inventive genius and moral as well as physical and intellec tual development. So don't whine and fret, young man, that your lot is cast where you have to work in order to live. It may not pay the world to misc you even where you are, but had I you been born where you could live without work it would not have paid the world to havo raised you to wean ing time. COlil'JIKLA [iETTEIi Wlial (>!?r Lan' .Makers an; Dohiy ?il ; tho Stat?* I'nnlbd. J i'Oilt (hW Oll'U ("ill <?Hnitlcnt. Cou WIM\ s. c., Feb. i hr third week of tho (jmerni As scnilily lins ended, the halt'ol! theses ?ion is gone, mul more tuan average amount of work has been accomplished. The bill relating to the matter of most immediate and practical import ance lins passed both Houses mid as soon as several minor amendments ure agreed upon AV i 11 bc ready for ratifica tion mid enrollment as au Act. This is "the jury Law," presented for tho purpose of remedying the recent con fusion caused by the decision that ow ing to discrepancies and differences in thc Acts regarding drawing of jurors for lin- various counties. The bill now about to become law is general, apply ing a uniform system to all counties, and UN ii goes into eifert at once il will enable the Courts to proceed with the business which bas been accumulating for several months, in some counties amounting to a good deal. nu: < oin:. Another measure of great technical importance is the ratification of thc rode, embracing thc whole statute law of the commonwealth. The codifica tion of the statutes for this period was begun by Commissioner Breazoale and completed by bis successor, Commis sioner Townsend, ami t he. I louse Judi ciary Committee reported a bill ratify ing the report of the latter. There weie sume technical objection's on th? ground that the ('(institution's pro visions required the lileay.eale code's adoption, but it was held that tho Towscnd code is merely an amended form ot the other, and alter considera ble dehnto the committee's bfll was ac cepted. It is of much importance but very brief, as follows: Section l. That, the codons submit ted by tho code roiniiiissionor of South Carolina a copy of which is heretofore attached ) be, mid the same is hereby declared to bu the "Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1902;" and said code is hereby declared lo tie ti;? only general statutory law of the State on the 1-tth day of January, 1002. Of all the matters presented to the Legislature three might be named as having attracted the greatest public attention anti discussion, viz: Redis tricting, Child Labor and the Soldiers' Home. None of these bas been finally disposed of. A redistricting bill bas passed the House, as previously reported, but it has not yet been considered in the Sen ate, and even if "the McGowan bill" passes tho upper House it i.-, suro to be liberally amended in that budy. The strongest effort is being made to change the bill's arrangement of the Urst?nd sen md congressional districts. Char leston influences in the House succeed ed in having Beaufort taken ont of the iirst district and put into the second, which is thereby made a long string of counties along tho Savannah River. The second district people don't like this, neither do Congressman Elliott's friends, as the object plainly is to take Col. Elliott, whose residence is in Beaufort, out of the Charleston dis trict. Otherwise the bill is pretty gen erally satisfactory, but this provision is sure to be lought over. The bill is a special order in the Senate to-mor row, Tuesday. The House committee on commerce mid manufactures has made a favora ble report on the child labor bill that passed the Senate last year but it bas not yet been voted on. Tho soldiers' home proposition will probably be lost in tho shuttle. The House has not only appropriated $200, 000 to Confederate pensions, but lins panned a bill declaring that, it shall be unlawful to commit any indigent ex Confederate soldier to any poor house or almshouse, but the county board? of commissioners shall, in their discretion, give county aid to said Veterans, at the homes of such soldiers or of some relative or friend. The bill declares further thrft no ex-Confederate soldier shall be disfranchised because of his having received such nid. A similar bill has passed the Senate, and ns it is intended to relieve the conditions which gave rise to tho agitation for a soldiers' home the latter proposition is apt to be rejected, especially since such a liberal appropriation for pensiona has been made by the House. The $200, OOO bill, however, has not vet run the gauntlet of the less lib?rai and more conservative Senate. Another pension bill of interest is that, introduced by Senator Manning providing for a county pension com missioner. It has passed the Senate. The commissioner, under the bill, shall be elected by the county pension board, of which he shall be a member, and he shall be at tho Auditor's office every Saturday in the month of January to meet pension applicants and to receive their applications. He shall report back to the board the first Monday in February. For his services he ?nail receive $2 per day. This bill relieves the county board from constant meet ings and is expected to save a consid erable sum. In the Senate there was a long and animated debato on Senator Raysors1 compulsory education bill, and while it wns rejected, tho vote-18 to 16 shows a growing sentiment in favor of the proposition which is apt to come up again. If a child labor bill is passed the cotton mill men will ask for com pulsory education on the ground that without such a law the operatives' children will be idle and troublesome. Tho vote to kill the Ray sor bill wns ns follows : Ayes-Aid rieh, Brice, Brown, Blake ley, Caugbinan, Dean, Dennis, Doug lass, Glenn, Goodwin. Graydon, Hough, Mower. Hagsdale, Sarrat, Stanland, Talbird, Walker-18. Noes-Appelt, Barnwell. Bowen, Hy drick, Henderson, I Merton, Living ston, Manning, Marshall, McDermott, ItavBor, sharpe, Sheppard, Stack house, Sullivan. Williams-10. The Senate put in the best part of several days considering the bill tlxing the salaries of county oflleers, and it is now in the hands of a committee for amendment. Much of tue Senate's work has doubtless been wasted be cause the House will amend tho bill beyond recognition, and as yet none of its provisions can be considered finally determined upon. <>IM-nf those peculiar mensutes that come up at every session is the bill to require railroad companies to place spittoons in all passenger cars. It passed the Senate with only one dis senting vote. The House hns rejected the annual proposition to sell the State farms, and it has not yet been considered in the Seriate. Neither has tho biennial ses sion issue been neted on by the House, Inn bills (o institute that system have passed i lin I louse. TN- Senate by ;i close vote agreed to Sena!or (J ray don's resolution I o adjourn on Feb. i">ih bul iii?' llonso will not concur, and the Senators know ii. Th<! legal limit ol lint session expireson iIm s)nl. but as ihcj-.'iiil is ?i legal holi day, so far ?is l?gislation in concerned, il is probable that adjournment will la; had on tho '.Mst, Friday. Ol'course, I he session eau continue al ler 40 ?lays, but the members would receive no pay after that timo. However, thc Assem bly is well up with it? work at this stage ot' the game. '1 lie .Senate holds no session to-day, having adjourned Saturday until to night, but the House meets at noon. Ouite a number ol' the members are at home for Salesday. Ul KN NIA I. SESSIONS. The House has passed Mr. Kind's hill providing for a submission to the people ol a vote on tin: question of biennial sessions ol' the Legislature with pay limited to 50 days. The de hate at limes was spirited, but tia: hill prevailed by a vote ol' i)7 to Vi. The Senate has already rejected Senator < li abel's hill providing: Tor election of Representatives every four years and Senators ?-very six years, hut Senator (iraber has three other bills looking to biennial sessions. It is probable that the necessary two thirds ul tia: Senators will not be ob tained to pass any biennial session bill. ST VTK 11 Kl'OS I TO Kl KS. The House has passed the bill of Mr. Sanders that tia: governor shall select eight hanks, not more than two to be in any one town, lor the deposit ol' State funds. Heretofore Ibo State's I unils have been on deposit in Colum bia hanks, and then: has arisen a de sire for others to share in this favor, rim.ii I.Alain., Tko house committee on commerce an<l manu factures has made a favora ble report on the Marshall child bill, which passed the Senate last year, some amendments as to ago being annie. The committee proposes that Section 1 of the bill shall read: "That from and after the 1st ol' May, 1?102, mi child under age of lo years shall la: employed in any textile establishment of this* State, an<l that from and after the 1st of May, 1003, no child under the age of ll shall be employed in nay tex tile establishment of tho State; and that after May 1st, PJ03, no child under the age of 11 shall be permitted to work after s o'clock at night, until after (* in the morning in any textile manufactory of this State. The Senate committee further changes the Senate hill so that a child at ll instead 12 of could work in a mill if he or she could show a certificate of having attended school three mouths. The Senate provided that the child must be 12 before the certificate was a dm issi hie, but the House committee changed the age toll years with tho three mont lis' certificate. The prospect for the bill's passage now seems favorable. INSURANCE COMMISSIONED The House lins passed Mr. Kibler's bill creating the otlice of insurance commissioner, two changes having been made in the original bill. The first provides thnt the commissioner shall bo elected by the legislature instead of appointed by the governor, and the second relates to taxation of insurance companies. A kindred measure soon to bo presented provides for the repeal of the Mauldin act passed a few years ugo which seeks to prevent combina tions between insurance companies. A delegation of insurance men were heard on M onda v, and they said if this law be repealed it would result in a 25 per cent, decrease in insurance rates. The General Assembly has decided to visit the Charleston Exposition dur ing the session in responso to an invi tation from the management. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 7th and 8th, have been selected ns tho days for the trip. lu the vote on the Sanders bill as published in this correspondence the name of Col. lt. B. A. Robinson was accidentally omitted. The bill sought to give each County the right to vote to remove the dispensary from that County and Col. Robinson voted for the bill. The Colonel spent Inst Sunday nt Winthrop College, of which he is n strong friend, and he says he had a royal good time. Ho praises most highly the Anderson girls nt the Col lege. Mr. J. W. Quattlebaum has been m the city the lasv week. J. H. Belton Items. Messrs. John T. Green and H. A. Cummings left. Sunday afternoon for Charlotte, N. C., where they go to visit Mrs. R. M. Cummings, nee Miss Rosa Green, whose condition is quite serious. She had fever last Bummer, and before recovering from that was attacked with heart trouble, and has continued to grow worse until now she is quite critical. It is reported that Messrs. Rice Bros. have sold their Ginnery, Oil and Fer tilizer mill plant, and will nt an early date begin the erection of a yarn mill. Since it seems that tho South Caro lina law-makers are leveling some of their "big guns1' on "truste" it may not be out of place to remind them of a monopoly that has wrought more.havoc in this Slate than all the combined trusts that exist-Tillmanism-and to ask them to turn a small gon on tho founder and blow him so far into space that he will land on Mars or Jupiter or purgatory-anywhere, so we get rid of him. At a recent electiou for town officers tho old incumbents were re-elected as follows: John A. Horton, Mayor; R. A. Lewis, Ward 1; A. R. Campbell, Ward 2; J. T. Rice, Ward 8; W. A. Clement, Word 4. Our veteran Confederate, Capt. Geo. j W. Cox, who baa been quite feeble for several months, is somewhat better, being able to travel around. May he yet be spared many years of usefulness and pleasure. Miss Ara Burch, milliner for R. A. Lewis, went to Atlanta last Sunday, presumably to buy goods, and returned Tuesday. Mr. A. Press Fant has just completed a handsome and substantial residence just outside the city limits. Messrs. A. P. Warnock and W. R. Kay, of the Broadway section, have moved here with their families nnd will make, this their future home. A henrty welcome awaits all such citizens. C.
