mry, S. C., as 2nd class matter.
Tuesday February 13, 1906.
This is the last week of the legis
lative session, and the proceedings
will be watched with much interest.
The Morgan local option bill, which
has pased the house is now before the
senate. The vote will be close. If the
senate kills the bill it is not probable
that the house will agree to a senate
bill changing the dispensary system,
and the dispensary will remain as it
now is, so far as the legislature is
concerned.
And now there is on foot a project
~^6 buy Speaker Cannon a pair of
South Carolina made boots. Let's
also send the speaker a shirt and some
other things which are necessary to
make the outfit complete. Clothes
don't make the man, but he then
could not but consider himself some
what of a Carolinian.
From the tone of some of his re
4ent interviews it appears that Sen-w
ator Tillman might be induced to run,
for governor in the next campaign.
Seator Tillman is still very strong
politically in South Carolina, but it is
hardly probable that his candidacy
for governor would meet with as much
avor as his candidacy for reelection
to the senate.

Col. James T. Bacon's Bible study
in three chapters, entitled as above;
two chapters of which have already
appeared in the Charleston Sunday
News, is a very fine and a very valu
able piece of writing, one that should
~'be in the possession of all Sunday
schools and Young Men's and Wo
n en's Christian asociations, and not
~only be ,in their possession, but be
tconstantly read and studied by them.
SThis paper of Col. Bacon's is a most
viJuable epitome, as it were, of the
Christian religion as revealed in the
old and new dispensations of Holy
~Writ. Col. . Bacon has done many
~ne and noble things. He can never
~o anything finer or nobler than

When Speaker Cannon takes his
pen to sign a few bills everybody
moves away from his immediate vi
inity so as to be beyond reach of the
ink shower he is sure to distribute,
says the New York Tribune. In five
minutes the marble rostrum at which
he sits looks like the back of a coach
dog. Cannon is always much afraid
of blotting the document awaiting his
signature, so he shakes the pen vigor
ously before putting it to work. Oni
days when the sp)eaker~ has much of
this work t.o do Asher Hinds, the par
liamentary clerk, who sits beside him.
wears what he calls his "signing
trousers," which garments are about
as muh soiled as they can be.
The United States Senate.
Washington, 1). C., February 9.
Almost the entire session of the Sen
I ate Friday was devoted to the consid
eration of the urgent deficiency ap
propriation bill which was passed
practically as it was reported from the
committee on appropriations. The
only discussion in connection with the
bill was over an amendment suggested
by Senator Patterson to strike out the
provision relieving alien workmen on
the canal from the operations of the
eight-hour law Senator Patterson con
tended that to require men to laborI
more than eight hours a day in the
tropics was inhuman and argued that
the requirement would do injustice to
I America labor. Several Senators on
both sides of the Chamber controvert
ed the position. The amendment was
voted down without resorting to a roll
call.
Senator Patterson thought that with
improved sanitary conditions in Pana
ma a large number of negroes of this
country could find profitable employ
ment there if the eight-hour law was
enforced.
Senator Hale said that it had been
impossible to get American negroes to
go to Panama to work.
Senator Money also opposed the
amendment. He did not believe that
there would be any American labor
there. "They won't live more than
eight hours after arrival," he said
"when they are turning up a milior
germs with every spadeful of earth.":
Work there, he said, means death.
"What it all means in plain, brutal
English is that there is being prepared
on the Isthmus a slaughter house for
aliens, and that the canal is to be built
at a fearful cost not only of money,
but of life," responded Senator Pat-;
terson.
Senator Tillnan also took issue with
Senator Patterson, saying that " when
the Colorado Senator makes an appeal
for alien labor he would better look a
little closer home and consider the'
American laborer whio in the end mpust
pay for building the Canal.'' He made~
an appeal for a commense sense course
in dealing with the Canal and for the
exclusion of cant from the considera
tion of the question. He thought that'
Senator Patterson was "conjuring up
gobling which no one else can see,"
and said that the interests of foreign
laborers would be protected by their
own Governments.
Senator Patterson declared that if
o1ie-alf that was p'romised in the way.
of sanitation on the line of the Canal:
is to be realized many Americans
would seek work there. H-e withdrew?
the amendment he had offered and:
offered another, fixing the limit of a
day 's labor on Canal work at 10 hours,~
instead of eight.
Senator Simmons said that the testi
mony taken before Canal committee?
showed that fully ten per cent of the
American on the Isthmus were em
ployed in outdoor work, many of themi.
being in charge of foreign workmen.
He saw great difficulty in enforcing
the eight-hour law as 'to those men,;
and in not enforcing it as to the men
of whom they have charge. He told
that Mr. Wallace had taken this view.
Senator Simmons did not, .however
advocate a short hour for the West
Indian laborers employed on the Can
Senator Hale said that the Secret ary
of WVar. Mr. Shonts and Mrs. Stevens
had taken a position opposed to- that
of Mr. Wallace.
The amendment was lost. Senator
Tillman expressed dissatisfaction with
the relationship between the Canal
commission and the Panama Railroad
Company, and he said he hoped the
Canal committee would find means of
unifying the Canal and the road. Sen
ator Hale agreed with the statement
made by Senator Tillmani as to desira-.
bility of doing away with the dual ar
rangement.
The bill was then p)assed and the
Senate adjourned until Monday.

A Woman's Criticism.
Minneapolis Tribune.
"Women generally go against their
own best interests, don't they'?" a
blond girl asked reflectively. Her
companion at one of those cozy little
tables in a downtown shop that give
one a chance to rest a few minutes
after the matinee and talk over the
play over a cup of chocolate only
miled, and the blond continued: "Do
von see that little one act comedy at
the table aeross the room? Madam
>ver there came in with her -husband
and a cross frame of mind awhile ago.
Perhaps it was a new hat she couldn't
[ave, but anyway she wouldn't talk
:o him at all., and lie made innumer
able efforts to be pleasant. I was
:hinking what a goose she was when
mnother man came in, the one she is
m1iling at now. Both bowed to him,
mnd madam's husband invited him to
heir table, andl madam, for the sake
> applearanices. of course-she could
't afford to be disagreeable before
iim-began to chat brightly. Chances
re she doesn 't really care a straw
bout this newcomer, but she is nice
o him. . If she had as much wisdom
s I,'' continued the blnd, "'she.
ould have been as sweet to her hus
and much more wvorth wvhile.'

v-ice as a demonstration when they
ould reject it as a. proposition.
