Marcn 11, mi Friday morning the general assembly of South Carolina adjourned Wednesday night at 9:30 o'clock. No," we are not drunk, neither is the above a mistake of our type setters or an oversight of the proof reader. It w s this way. The members had agreed to adjourn Wednesday night and when the time came and they found they were not through they stopped the old clock in house chamber and, so tar as the house was concerned, time ceased to be. Friday morning when they finally voted to adjourn, it was still Wednesday night, General disappointment is expressed that so few of the constructive measures introduced during the session became law. Probably the two most important acts of the session are the vital statistics bill and the negotiable instruments bill, the latter of which you may consult yoifr lawyer about it you are interested. The vital statistics hill provides for a record of all berths and deaths in the state. This act becomes effective July 1 1914, and places the burden of its enforcement upon the state board of health. More than three hundred acts were passed, but. nearly all \Vfcre of a local nature. The senate pared the appropriations bill enough probabl e to make the taxes this year a little less. The house was inclined toonly lin^^onoto or I vetc overnor. A history senate's session wou rd of things they didn >ng the bills that l^pHHnffffffnftehiion tne following; ^ the medical inspection act, the compulsory school attendance act, the McLaurin warehouse act, primary reform act, the bill to prevent, white teachers from teaching in negro schools, and the 2-cent railroad rate bill. Sheriff D. P. Douglass is a man with faults, of course, as every other man, but within * that manlv breast bents o bnnrt noble and true. Most men who suffer bodily barm at the hands of an enemy hold a grudge through life and when the opr^portuhitv presents itself retaliate, but not so with the sheriff of this good county of ours. When he went before tne grand jury a few days ago to tell that Fran\ ces Davis, wife of the negro desw perado who was burned in his L house near Middendorf by ?the |^L officers, shot him in the thigh and caused him much pain and quite a bit of money, bo I how she had caused him to suf If andsaid she was guilty, hut Hth umYs in his eyes he begged grand jurors not to find a Hue bill against her because she nad three small children who .have no one else to look to for support, and said to punish her (would cause them to suffer. (Unable to say more he walked away and left tears in the eyes r>f the grand jurors, who were aeeply moved by the noble enpeaty of this man. Solicitor f>pears, with a big lumo in his ,throat, told the jurors that they would be compelled to find a true bill, but he told them that he would never try the case during good behavior of the woman and she was according ly set free to care for the little ones. This seems an insignificant mm lor, hut the little things 1 [ make the great ones, and little i k deeds of mercy like this mark ' k the difference between heroes liand ordinary men, 11 k i c CHURCH NOTES Methodist Protestant.
