I. H. AULL. 2DITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New terry. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, January 29, 1907. COLUMBIA LETTER. Columbia, Jan. 28.-About half of the members went to Clemson college in the special car provided by the trustees on Saturday. The others took advantage of the recess to go home and spend Sunday. What ef feet this visit will have in taming any opposition to Clemson, if any, crinains to be seen. The pur pose of the visit was to let those who had never been to the institution see what, is up there and get a better idea of the college from a personal visit. All of the Newberry members came home. Mr. Johnstone, who is the only member of the board of trus tees o' the college in the legislature, had charge of the arrangements for the trip and extended the invitation in behalf of the trustees. * * * The only fight of consequence in the house the past week was on the proposition to repeal the lien law. It occupied the session on Thursday. The house passed the bill repealing the lien law by a vote of more than two to one. Messrs. Johnstope, Wyche and Aull of the Newberry members voted to repeal the law. The senate debat ed the (justion on Friday and refused to pass the senate bill repealing the lien law, but it is said there were some objections to the senate bill. The senate will have another chance, as the house bill reaches them this week. This week will be taken up largely in the. discussion of the liquor ques tion. In the house the two dispensary bills have been made special orders for twelve o'clock tomorrow and from day to day until disposed of. It is likely night sessions will be held during the week in order to give ev ery one an opportunity to talk. In the senate there was more discussion over what is known as the Smith res olution. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 19 to 21 which is re garded as victory for the anti-dis. pensary side. The folowing is the resolution a. passed by the senate: Be it resolved by the Senate of th< State of South Carolina, the Housi concurring, that a joint committee consisting of the Judiciary commit, tees of each branch of the Genera Assembly shall prepare and submit r bill to abolish the state dispensary and to submit a bill for the handling of liquor, providing for local optior in the counties betwveen prohibitior andl couty dlisp)ensaries. This w~ould indicate a sentiment against the dispensary but when ii eomes to a v'ote on the concrete prop osit ion on the adoption of some plac for handling the liquor question it may be that the senators may be un able to agree and in that event the result wvill be nothing done. There seems to he little dloub)t that the house will adlopt some bill abolishming the state dispensary but the senate, in my opinlion, is not so certain. The special conninit tee to examIineC into the dispensary at this session will make their report today and that re port may have some in fluence on leg~ islat ion. The sessions have been p)rivat e and no intimation is given] out as to what the report contains. It is very much desired thati the dis pensary quiestionI so far as this ses ion is concer'ned imay b)e settled this week so tha\ ->ther matters may be taken up. * * * The ten hour law for cotton mills, compulsory education, mattecr of tax ation and others of more or less im: portance will be side tracked until the dispencary is out of the wvay. With the increase in the taxable lproperty it is hoped the levy foi altate purposes may be reduced to 4 1-2 mills but if the proposed neii measures carrying appropriations and new omeers go thtrough' it will bc necessary to increase the levy. Some of us at least are trying to put the brakee on but it may be a difficult thing to do. * * * The meastures introduced affecting Newberry alone are printed elsewhieri in this paper. The members of thi hbusle from Newberry have agreel Th' to their passage as published in thn pae.today.' The three bills of Mr. Johnstone have prmactically passed the house. Th< one in rnegar d to the commissionerm of publie works was also agreed up on by the members of the house a the 4amet timne. as it prbited today -but. for som0 ree' oip. Johpstone had It held up on Friday when tht house had agreed to take up, oily uncontested matters. There can be io' objection to letting the matter go be-, fore the. people of the town and let them decide what they want to do. E. H. A. TO PROVIDE A TAX LEVY. Mr. Alan Johnstone's Bill to Provide A One Mill Tax Por Roads. The following bill passed the house yesterday and was sent to -the senate. It was introduced by Mr. Alan John stone.

Mr. Editor': Through the columns of your valuable paper I wilh to say something about the pleasant reunion of the family and friends of Mrs. Rachel Bonds, better know as Aunt -Rachel, of the Shady Grove commun ity, which took place on the 13 inst. Aunt Rachel before her marriage was a Miss H-uter, a daughter of J. Y. Hunter, and was reared in the Jalapa community. After her mar ringe to H. K. T. Bonds they moved to where she nIow lives. They wvere for years knowvn as Uncle Hurhy and Aunt Rce, becase of their kind ness and hospitality. Uncle Hughy died a few years ago, leav'ing Aunt Rachel and three sons and four ddughters. At the. reunion s.he had all of her children with her, excep)t her son Tom, who now lives in Texas. The occasion of this reunion was a visit from her daughiter, Mrs. Lou Hunter, *of Texas, who had been gone from this state thirteen. years. Mrs. Hunter left in a few days for her home in Texas. It wass joy in deed for Aunt Rachel to have her children and grand children under the paternal roof. Those who,swere present were Mr. and Mrs. 8. P. McCrackin and daughter; Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Work man and children. Besids her child ren and grand children, she had in vited her nephews and nieces with a few friends. 'Those who were .pres out were: Mr. and Mrs. Butler John son and daughter; Mi', and Mrg, Gee. Eddy and son.; Mir. and Mrs. Will Buford; Mrs. C. W. Buford;. Mr. Sam Cleland and; children; Messrs. Bonds McCraekin; Clark Johnson; Ts L. Johnson; Hide Hunter; and Mahlon Davis; Mise Lula Johnson; Ida Smith, Mamlo Eddy, and Carrie B3u ford.
