C., under the Postal Act of March 3. 1879. March 11,1914 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 \v s this way. The members had agreed to adjourn Wednesday night anil 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 concern cel. time ceased to he. Friday morning when they finally voted to adjourn, it was still Wednesday night, General disappointment is expressed that so lew of the constructive measures introduc ed during the session became law. Probably the two most important acts of the session are tile vital statistics hill and the negotiable instruments hill, the latter of which you may consult yotrr lawver about if von arc interested. '! !. - vital statistics bill provides for a record of all berths anil deaths in the state. This act becomes effective J uly 1 I'M a', and places tile burden ol its en let cement upon the state board of health. More than j three hundred acts were passed, but math all wVre of a local nature. 1 I e senate pared the appropriations hill enough probabh to make the taxes this vcar a little less. The house was inclined toonly nw^^enate or vetc overnor. A history senate's session W'OU rd of things they didn ng the hills that fa ill ifl *- 1V- ,aw ,,i mention the following; the medical inspection act, the compulsory school attendance act, the Mcbaurin warehouse act, primary ie-form act, the hill to prevent, white teachers from teaching in negro schools, and the 2-ccnt railroad rate hill. ff T> f ?t .,nvi 111 1 j. i . 1 MUlglHSS is ill nv,in with faults, of course4, as every other man, but within ?that manly breast beats a heart noble and true. Most men who suffer bodily harm at the hands of an enemy hold a grudge through life and when the op f^portunitv presents itself retaliate, but not so with the sheriff of this good county of ours. When he went before the grand iurv 1 few days ago 'o tell tli.it Fran res Davis, wife of the negro des ^ perado w ho was burned in his L house near Middendorf by the - officers, shot him in the thigh mid caused him much pain and (piite bit of monev, h< told how slu' had caused him to suf a <' tears in hi s < s he bogged grand jurors not !o find a H Hr, bill against her because she H Ti.i ! three small children who S^Hhnve no one else to look to for H^Hsupport, and said to punish her ^^Hwould cause them to suffer Kf'n.ih!.* more he walked H^^Biw av and. left tears in the eyes HBfld iho grand jurors, who were ^HHj< ^ ^ reatv of this man.

When Mr. s\ inchester returned " " le was unable to find any brush "" to burn and the spot where rested the "heap" was nicelv ele-an>d.
