Entered at the Post Office at Manning as Second-Class Matter. Copies of this paper may be found on file at Washington in the ofice of our spe cial correspondent. E. G. Siggers, 018 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C. In regard to the communication which we publish today from Pine wood, signed by the Intendant and wardens of that town in reply to what "L. A." had to say in his Columbia letter last week concerning the action of Magistrate A. P. Ragin in the re cent trouble at Pinewood, we suppose it is scarcely necessary to say that "L. A." is *Senator Louis Appelt. Of course we are not authorized to speak for Senator Appelt, and do not know what reply he will make, if any, to the communication, but we are of the opinion that there were a few matters of detail concerning the Pine wood trouble and the correspondence that passed, of which "L. A." was not and perhaps Las not yet been made aware. We are sure that should he find that he has made un warranted criticism upon Magistrate Ragin it would be his pleasure to correct the same, as we are satisfied it was not his intention to make any criticism not warranted by the cir cumstances. Senator Appelt opposed the wide tire bill in the Senate last week, but there were too many purely theore tical Senators who want to force their theories upon the people anyhow, regardless of the people's wants and the bill did pass that body. Sena tor Appelt offered to amend by ex empting eight or ten counties which do not want the bill. We hope the the measure will be killed when it reaches the H ouse. There is no necessity of such a bill, and of requir ing people to go to work and put broad tires on their wagons unless they want to do so, even though they be allowed two or three years in which to make the change. Broad tired wagons may be better in the up country, but the people down here who have to use extremely sandy roads do not want to be forced into any such measures, simply for the sake of a little theory. MIore than this, we do not believe the measure is constitutional. It will be an inno vation upon the personal rights of cit-. izens and their liberties, to say wvhat kind of wagons they shall use upon their own premises. Such a measure cannot stand if tested in the courts. If will be impracticable to enforce such a measure, and for that reason the law will be a dead issue if passed. In our opinion the appearance of the broad tire bill in the legislature is simply an argument in favor of bien nial sessions. It demonstrates that many members go to Columbia not knowing what they want to do, and when they get there they are so eager to do something that they take on to any theoretical measure and vote for ir, regardless of the will of their con stiuents at home, whom they are sup. posed to represent. This same meas ure came up in the Senate two years ago, and this humble writer had the pleasure of offering an amendment exempting so many counties that the originators of the measure then got provoked with themselves and de feated their own bill, and we felt that we had done the people of the low country, at least, a great service, even should that be the only thing we did during the session. The people of our State are too much governed. We should not have laws that there are no necessities for, and whenever laws are enacted which are not either for the correction of evils or the promotion of the public welfare they become a burden to the people. We think a law requiring that all wagons shall have wide tires on them will be a costly experiment that there is no crying necessity for, and one that will cause untold complications ad annoyance. Sometimes it is well enough to let well enough alone. The question of biennial sessions of the Legislature is now one of con siderable importance to the people of South Caroliua. In fact outside of the liquor question and the providl ing of some practicable and efficient way of controlling the ever present but debauching and baneful liquid, the question of biennial sessions of our law-making body is the most imn portant measure that will likely be discussed in the approachine State :ampaign. Whiskey is already here, from the fact that our people have long since had the taste for it, and for that reason it may' be expected that for many long years it will be a bone of contention in our politics. The liquor question cannot, therefore, be -onsidered as any new problem. After sll it narrows itself down to the same old question of whiskey or no whiskey, and as there are more peo ple in the State, it seems, who want whiskey in some form or other than there are who do not want it at all, then the next question which pre sents itself to the good people is, how to control it so as to have as lit tle of it sold as possible. So that there are, really and absolutely, very on the liquor ciuestio . But the question of the Legislature meeting only once in two years is something which has never been discussed very much before. Notwithstanding there is some good, strong argument to be advanced against biennial sessions, yet it appears to be an extremely popular measure, and we haven't a doubt but that the people will vote for the necessary changes in the con stitution. Tne principal argument which is advanced in favor of bien nial sessions is upon the ground of economy, but to our mind the strong est argument that can be brought in favor of the question is upon the broad principle that our State has too much legislation, and that there are now many laws upon the statute books which the people do not need, and are practically dead issues. When we consider the experience of Geor gia and other States having biennial sessions, with their special sessions that are unlimited as to length of sit ting. then the matter of economy to our mind will admit of some ques tion. While we are inclined toward the biennial side of the question, yet we have not studied it, and the ob stacles which might arise against it, sufficiently to advocate the measure absolutely, as we realize it is not a safe tbiLg to be frequently tamper ing with our fundamental constitu tion. But if the change will prevent the passage of such a mass of unnec essary legislation every year and give the people a breathing spell in which to take their bearings and learn what the laws are, and when they are vio lating the law and when they are not, then we will heartily favor the meas ure. $100 RE WARD $100.

Since my last letter the principal measure brought up for discussion in the Senate, which I regard of inter est to my constituents, was what is known as the "wide tire bill." This measure means to force the use of a wider tire for vehicles otner than those used for pleasure, and the pur pose is to make our roads better. It is claimed by the friends of the meas ure that the narrow tires principally used to the wagons of our people cut down into the roads and keep them in bad conditionand they propose to remedy this by compelling the use of the wvide tire. I opposed the meas ure as far as Clarendon was con cerned, because I regard it a innova tion which, to use the language of another,was "paternalism run mad;" that if the Legislature forced people to use broader tires on our public roads there is nothing to hinder it from compelling the use of broader soles to shoes. In my judgment, if the people of their own volition would make the custom to use the broad tires, our roads might be im proved, but I was opposed to forcing them to the extra expense which must follow if the bill is enacted into law. The manufacturers of wagons can charge more for a wide tire vehi le, and the law will be a windfall to them. When I discovered it useless to try and defeat the bill, I made an appeal to exempt Clarendun, and to my amendment came fourteen other counties asking a similar exemption. I argued not to force this measure on us and that when the e'xperiment is tried satisfactorily in c ounties where such a scheme is wanted, then my people, appreciating the benefit, would ask their representatives to have them placed in the wide tire column. I regret to say that my amendment was lost; even some of the Senators who had asked for their counties to be exempted voted against the exemption on a direct vote. The question of biennial sessions created much discussion over in the House and was carried by a close margin, and if it passes the Senate the people will have the privilege to amend the Constitution so that the Legislature will meet only once in two years. Representat ives Rich ardson, Jones and Woods voted against biennial sessions, but when it reaches the Senate I will vote for it, believing the business of the State can be subserved fully as well with the Legislature meeting every two years, and that will be a saving of about $40,000 every other year to the tax payers. Dr.~Woods has introduced a bill looking towards purer virus as a preventive of smallpox. Majior Richardson has a bill to amend the Act regulating tobacco warehouse charges. Mr. Jones has had a bill prepared to relieve Clarendon from the seed cotton license abomination; also a bill to redeem property sold under tax execution. The county commissioners sent us their list of claims approved for 1899, and I find that they have claims ag gregating $11,913.76. The value of all taxable property on the books is 2,540,170, which, if collected, will bring $12,700.85. This does not in elude licenses, fines and dispens.ary profits. I now feel confident that the delegation will be safe in reduc ing the county levy at least one-half mill. Today was set apart for a memo rial service in honor of the late Gov ernor Ellerbe; this day was the an niversary of his last inauguration. A joint 'committee from the Senate and House appointed by the presid ing officers, prepared the program, and the distinguished honor was paid Clarendon by selecting her Senator as one of the speakers on behalf of the Senate, an honor I shall ever cherish. The spacious hall of the House of Representatives was crowded- The. Supreme Court, the Governor and; State officers were present as guests, and all without the bar and galleries was filled with visitors, many of~ whom were ladies. Feeling sure that the readers of Tn TIMEs are entitled to know what. their representative said, I herewith give them the text of my remarks: Mr. President: To have been selected on this solemn occasion to speak to the resolutions now pending, and which have been so beautifully and appropriately sec onded, I sincerely thank the committee for~ the honor, and the privilege accorded me to place upon the bier of our departed frienct my garland of esteem. It was my pleasure, and I esteem it a high honor, to be counted among the friends of our late lamented governor, and in the course of an iitimate association with him I had access many of his views and intentions. Governor Ellerbe was an honest man, what is termed practical politics as a child. He was a man of fine businuss jidgment and integrity. le thought for himself. and whenever he felt that he was rig.t be had the moral courage of his convctions and acted accordingly. While in public life his whelte 1:01an. all heart went into his work to makte South Carolina a faithful servant If at av tiun he made mistakes- -he was Iiuanu and, theretore, not free fromn error-those mis takes may be atnibuted to the head and not the heart. South Carolina ha.1 in hima , tr'e and faithful servant, and a governor who ha very perplexing conditions to tae. It do' seem as if the fates operated t0 throw ob ktacles in the way of his having a mooth administration, ;ad many a sleepless nicbt did he pass in the endeavor to perform his full duty. Posted on the bridge of this gr'nd old ship of State, he guiled her through tempestons bilows,into a haven o, peace. He acted as lis cotscience ictated. and he prayed to God that his acts would re dound to the glory of South Carolina. The people recognized his bonesty of purpose and his ability, as was .lown by the mag. tificent endorsemert they gave himu when they elected him to he highest ofice in their gift, after he had served them two terms in the office of Comptrolier General. They continued their faith in himn by elect. ing him their governor for a scond term. When affliction laid its heavy h.and upon him the people were saddened. atid prayed that if it was His will tWeir governor might be restored to health. God in H:s intiDnite wisdou saw lit to remove him trow earthly trials. .\r. President, I feel it a sacred privi lege, in behalf of the peopie of Clarendon, wno loved him anct delighted to honor him, to place a tribute of esteem and effection upon the tomb of our lamented governor, and in so doing I feel that when William H. Ellerbe was gathered to his fathers he was prepared for the call, and that fromt -otnth Carolina was taken a notble and a devoted son, a gentleman iand at patriot.
