Wi AtUl H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at Newberry. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, January 21, 1908. EDITORIAL 'CORRESPONDENCE Columlria, S. C., Jan. 20.?One week of the legislature session has closed. The 'first week there is usually very liOMo accomplished) except getting matters in shape anvl introducing bills and getting reports. As has been slated the general assembly accepted an invitation to visit Winthrop college on Saturady, and there was therefore :w> session of either house or senate. Both houses meet again tonight at eight o'clock hut. very little will be donv;. The elections will likely be held on Wednesday. Mr. T. 1'. Colhran has withdrawn from l!i(' race for associate .justice and thai assures the re-el'oction of Associia-ie -In>iti(Jary. For circuit judge In succeed .lu?lge .James Aidrich four names have been mentioned. Ifobert A Id rich, (leorge II. Bates and .James I1',. Davis, of the Bar.iwell bar and Calude 10. Sawyer, of Aiken. The friends of these candidates are active but from what I can gather it would seem that lire chances at present, are in favor of the election of Colonel Aldrich. Quite a number of measures have hcen introduced on all subjects but it would seem that the leading issues In be discussed at this session of the general assembly are State prohibition. labor contracts, the lien law, increased appropriations for various and sundry objects. A - has been stated from time to time in The Iterald and News, we be- ' licve if the friends of State prohibition could anrce upon some measure, their dinners of success would he very good, but the trouble seem# to !?. that there are several different propositions looking l<> the same end and if 1 iie friends of each proposition bold out for their particular ideas, tin- chances are that no general prohibition law will be passed. The M'niimeul serins to prevail that the majority of the bouse is in favor of prohibition and that in the senate < there is pretty equal division of sen- | tiine.it. These being the facts it is ; difficult to even forecast what the result will be. There seems to be little doubt that some sort of labor eoutraet law will be adopted. All of the various propositions have been referred to a special committee to report a bill which is thought will be eonst it ntionThe lien law will take up considerable discussion and the indications j now are that it will be repealed. It ! is a matter which should have serums consideration because it is a sy?>- | triu ol credit which has been it von no in this State for some thirty years and while it has been abused there is no doubt that it has been of great assistance to a ureal many people. 'The demand for its repeal, however, from the farmers generally and the farmers organizations will have considerable influence upon the vole of t lie members. i Tiie prohibition bill has already I 1 been discussed briefly, that is the > one introduced by Mr. Nash at the last session, but which was recom- i milted, retaining its place on the i calendar, for the purpose of netting! i be I rieiuls ol prohibit ion to a give upon one measure. j 1 Compulsory education is set for, discussion on Wednesday. At tho!1 last session two bills were introdnc-' 1 ed along this line, one by Mr. Ker-j 1 sliaw, of Florence, and one by Mr. | 1 Anil, ol Newiberrv. The committee ' ?'ii education at the last session took1' t iie>e | w o bills and troin them iv- j ' ported a substitute, which was ac- j ceptaible to Mr. Kershaw ami Mr. A nil. file substitute will be discussed ! ' by the bouse o.i Wcdnesdav. fiii lie most iniportanl matter, a- it serais to me. is the ipiesiion of ap- I | propria! ions. As I have stated, the j , tendencv seems to be to m ain inn1 almost anything thai is a-kc.l. (ioveriior Ansel recoiumemls that an ad- , ?IiIi(?iiaI two mills be added to tin Slate levy for past indebtedness. It is aol probable that this reconunen- . dation will be heeded. Winthrop college wants about .ftilUIOtl for a new dormitory. The friend of high schools will want aibout $.'>(),<)()(> again this year and it is supposed that the South Carolina Cniversily will need more money. . The ways and means committee will hear the demands of these several institutions during this week with a view to gelling the appropriation bill in as early as possible. \ ery liltl'e has been heard from the State Reformatory at Florence, which last year wanted $65,000. Ol' <-<;uiso tin; same demands tor pensions L'or Confederate soldiers will be made. Representative Anil lias introduced a hill lo levy a one mill tax l'or pensions which is about the amount that is now appropriated and his bill provides that the money coDlected in each county shall bo disbin-sod in that county, but it docs nol propose to change the present pension laws. Mr. Aull also has a bill for the establishment of rural 'mounted police, which was brought- over I'rotn last year. The original idea of i>he bill was lo let Ihcse mounted police take the place of tiie dispensary conslalblcs and be paid out of the dispensary funds, but alter Iho (Stale dispensary was abolished tlic bill had (<> be changed. A'lller conference with Hepres'entrttive Nash, ol' Sparlanlburg, and other inem'bers, it was decided to oiler as a substitute a bill which provides l'or the rural mounted police, leaving to each county to supply I lie nunvher. The. bill repeals aW laws which provide for Slate constables and l'or magistrate's constables, tin' intention being that the mounted police should perform the duties ol these olliees as well as be conservators of the peace and look after the enforcement of all laws. It provides, J also, for a police commission compos- j cil of two free holders <>| the county j who do nol hold any political ollice and the sheriff of the county. These |o appoint and have supervision of llie 'mounted police. There is to be mi chief in each county at a salary of $7"> per month and Mr. Aull proposes two additional policemen loi Newiherry couu.lv at + ><> per mo ilh. All of these lo do patrol duty. The Stale constable and the magistrates' coiisitaible- in this county I now cost about *1\M00. I'mh-r this I hill vhe Ihree mounted police would | ,, 11! v |.| is I am! i: seems to me j lli;,I ill-, a.lditional pu t 'diou wliicii ; ||k\ w UI?1 ".rive the "eople ill tile', rural districts would tully Justitv i i!i:i' ;iporopriation.

Reports from all over . be country agree i.i the statenient that live sale of holiday post cardu was a record breaker. It was far 'beyond the expectations of tihe most sanguine dealers ami post olliees everywhere blocked with the mass of cards wlhieh poured in I'hc day preceding Christma-. New Year's was nol quite sq marked, but the New Year rush was i uornions and eclipsed anything previously known in the history ol tdie business. The sale of 1-eent postage stamps nl the Nc-w \ ork post otTiee the day be fore C.iri-tmas a*.' ~ reg.i I ed $00,000. The total nnnitber of Christmas cards mailed at New \ ork exceeded 12,000,[)00. The total number of New Year cardh mailed al the same ollice exceeded 0,000,000, but the ollice was ready for the N w Year rush and the nails were not blocked. The same conditions prevailed in ill other post olliees. l'or example, it Newark. N. .).. l/JoO.OOO post carls ivere mailed, and so unexpected was he rnsib (that 700.(100 remained in the |)ost ollice undelivered over Christinas day. n a New Jersey suburm. having a . I1 ;1 i <111 . r | l.l'Od |..|.m|c over 20.100 Christmas cards wen* mailed, and probably (dose to l.i.tMIO New Near A ll 'ouUlv i ^riivgi't in a residence ilistricl who handles post cards an.l incidentally accommodates his patrons with 1 cent stamps, sold .'5.000 | stamps the day before Christinas. These few incidents are given as indications of the tremendous business in holiday post cards in the vicinity of New York. The conclusion that this is not a fad, but has come to slay is st rengt lienor by a few individual experiences. Two instances illustrate ttbe personal feature. One person of the writer's acquaintance received sixly-soven Christmas ear b and about half as many New Year missives. A neighbor received I inirtv-two Chirstmas cards in one mail. These two families together mailed "more than 100 cards. Admitting tdial J hose aiv exaggerated imslnnceli, | liev indicate liow general the custom ol' sending post card holiday greetings has become, and supply proof that Mio post card is no longer a fad, but it a staple article peculiarly adaptc.l to convey the sentiment one wishes to express .to one's friends. The many beautiful cards sold this holiday season exerted a potent influence upon purchasers and no doubt largely increased the sale. j "THE RIBBON WINNER" and examination pads ait. Broaddus.& Ruff.
