Another week has passed and very little of interest to my local readers has occurred. The del egation has not yet met to con sider the recommendations of the county commissioners. One reason is, that we are waiting for the estimates to be sent us in order that we may know how much money was collected and turned into the county treasury, and just how much was paid out, this information we must have in order for us to be able to in telligently fix the levy. Every member of the delegation is op posed to an increase of the levy, and when we get the commis sioners' estimates we may be able to find a way to reduce. The de lay in sending the estimates to the delegation is no fault of the commissioners, it is the fault of those holding claims and not pre senting them. I notice a letter in THE TiMEs of last week from W. T. Kelly from Foreston in which he seems to think that the reference to the magistrate's office at Fores ton was a reflection upon the manner in which the constable discharged his duties. He is mis taken. The constable cannot serve warrants unless they are given to him to serve, and I know from personal observation that Mr. Kelly is one of the best con stables in the county. There was no reflection on Mr. Kelly nor Mr. Richbourg the magis trate; the point was, whether or not a magistrate's office pays at Foreston. If there is not enough business there. ought it be re moved on that account? I am free to say that individually I do not think it wise to abolish the office at Foreston, Pinewood or New Zion. That would not remedy the existing evil. In my opinion, the remedy is right at Manning. If the magistrate at Manning would refuse to issue warrants for people living near another magistrate a good cause for complaint would be stopped and those wanting warrants would go to their nearest magis trate, thus giving the constables their share of the work, and re lieve the sheriff from doing work* that constables are being paid for. No magistrate or constable can make work, and they are not to blame if the work is not .brought to them. -It would be brought to them however, if the Manning Magistrate would use his discretion and only issue warrants for those living within the scope contemplated when the Act was passed requirmng the sheriff to act as constable for the magistrate at Manning. I do not know as yet what the ma jority of the delegation will de cide about the magistrate sys tem of Clarendon; on account of Doctor Woods' absence Friday and Mr. Galluchat's absence the day before we have had no dele gation conference, but at the very first conference this matter will receive special attention. I will state that I have received a very strong letter asking for the office at Foreston to be abolished and I have also received a very strong petition asking that it re maim. The election of Hon. R. 0. Purdy was, I have no doubt, a very gratifying result to many of my readers. The opposition was strongly organized and they made themselves felt, but Mr. Purdy's friends never for a mo ment lost confidence. The elect ions were all held on Tuesday, and I have the proud privilege of being able to boast that I did not lose a single vote, every can didate I voted for was a winner. 4 eysrngptto was presented to Governor McSween ey asking for the pardon of Frank M. Player. The gov ernor referred the matter to Sol icitor Wilson and Judge Watts, the former recommended the pardon, but the latter declined, and in a letter gave his reasons. I regret to say that I was placed in a very embarassing position in this matter. The governor had been assured that Judge Watts would recommend the pardon, and believing that he would, told me it was his inten tion to pardon Player as soon as he got the papers back from the Judge. Having this good news from such a source I hastened to inform the suffering man and also to write to a member of his family; imagine my disappoint ment, when on last Friday after noon, the governor informed me that Judge Watts declined to recommend the pardon, and that after considering the reasons presented by Jugde Watts he could not grant the pardon right away, but would probably do so by March. Knowing the gover nor as well as I do, I knew it would be useless to press the matter then, so I swallowed my disappointment only to renew my efforts in the case next week. I do not know whether the gov lease Player right away or not. but I am sure his pardon will be granted not later than the month of March. I have had quite a tussle with seed cotton legislation the past week, the first bill introduced was killed mainly because the Solicitor who drew the bill did not make it complete and the opposition would not con sent to the bill being amended to cover the objections. I have had ano.her drawn, this time, by our own solicitor who went over it very carefully. It provides for a general license, and it makes it the duty of the super visor to look after the enforc-1, inent and brings the jurisdiction to magistrates. The agricultural committee to whom it was re ferred is made up of men who are large planters and they favor a prohibitive license, they have taken my bill to build up a sub stitute which they will present, thus putting the matter in a position altogether in favor of the large planter and directly against the small planter. I will fight the substitute with all of my might. I would much pre fer knocking out the license al together but it is impossible, and since this cannot be done, then I want a sensible license so that it can be collected. If the substitute bill goes through, it -makes the license not less than two hundred dollars, and no body will take out the license and the traffic will go on just the same. I have also a bill which has been favorably reported from the finance committee, requrng the county and town's portion of the dispensary profits to be dis tributed monthly instead of quar terly Under the law now, this fund lies in the treasury three months and cannot be touched for any purpose, thus doing neither the people nor the coun ty any good: my bill seeks to put the money back into circula tion at the end of each month. There appeared in The State one day last week under the head of "Lobby Chat" a state ment with reference to myself which was not true. The cir cumstances were as follows: In the discussion of a jury bill I discovered language which I did not understand its meaning, and having made it a rule never to vote for any measnre unless I understood its meaning I ad dressed the president of the Senate, and asked if the Senator from Bamberg would explain what he meant by the words "not less than ten nor more than five." President Tillman court eously as I thought, replied by saying, "will the Senator from Bamberg supply the Senator from Clarendon the information he desires." The State however, and I may add, the Senate re porter for The State discluimed having had anything to do with it, said that the president said "will the Senator from Bamberg supply the Senator from. Claren don with brains and informa tion?" Lieut. Governor Tillman did not use this outrageous lan guage from the presiding officer's desk; had he done so, I should certainly have given him a very appropriate reply. Just where the "Lobby Chat" reporter for The Stategot this piece of news which did not happen, I do not know. The people of Summerton are not satisfied with their present charter and Mr. 0. C. Scarbor ough has been up here with a view to having the charter changed. I have promised to introduce his measure as soon as I can get a bill drawn and given to me. Mr. Scarborough has had Mr. Purdy looking into the matter for him, and he. was to draft the bill, but up to now I have not seen or heard anything from Mr. Purdy, and when at home last Saturday I telephoned Mr. Scarboriough informing him of the existing conditions. I am anxieus to get for the Summer ton people just what they want, but cannot do so until the par ties who have been entrusted with the framing of the measure ome forward with it. There is a bill looking towards the State establishing its own plant for the manufacture of fertilizers. I have not had time to read its provisions as care fully as I would like, but unless there is very strong reasoning to show that the State should do this, I am inclined to be op posed to it. In my opinion this is paternalism of the rankest sort, the very thing which we have been denouncing all of our lives. If the State gets to nman ufacturing fertilizers, what is to hinder her from establishing fac tories and stores? And then if the State is to become a compet itor in trade, what will become of the taxpayers engaged in those pursuits? Then again, I believe if the State was to put up a big fertilizer plant, it would bcome a huge political machine, controlled by politicians, and in the end the people would not be benefitted. The State dispensa ry is an institution handling over two million of dollars a year, how many business men get po stions there? Most of them are politicans and business failures at home, and so will it be if we establish a fertilizer plant. The Attorney General is after the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company and wants the legisla ture to annul its charter. There are a number of bills on this sub ject, none of which will pass and should not. Whenever South Carolina goes to such extremes she might as well build a Chinesc wall around her borders for- iio investors will come here. We do not believe the people will approve of such drastic meas There has reached me a pti tion from the lawyers at Man ning asking the delegation to make some provision whereby a set of new and complete indexes be made for the clerk of court's Dflce, to cover a period from the last general indexes made in 188 . I do not know what it Will cost to get this work done nor do I know what the delegation will do about it. Some of the lawyers say there is much difti culty in making a search of the records on account of the indexes as they now stand, and that if some provision can be- made whereby some one can be em ployed to make up a new set of indexes it would saVe much time and labor. I do not know what the delegation think a b o u t spending money for this pur pose, but am inclined to the opin ion that they will not favor the proposition. We have before us a general salary bill which fixes salaries for Clarendon as follows: Audi tor $750, Treasurer $750, Sheriff $1,000, Clerk of Court $250, (for criminal work only), Supervisor $600, Superintendent of Educa tion ,450, County Commissioners 3.00 per day and no mileage, Township Assessors $1.00 per day not to exceed two days in any one year, Coroner $125.

From what we have seen stat ed recently, it would not surprise us if there is a movement on foot looking to the recovery of the whiskey rebates which the State was entitled to and did not get during the administration of Governor Tillman. If Attorney General Bellinger were to start a proceeding of this sort there is a strong probability that valuable information would be secured. It is a conceded fact that the State was entitled to rebates from its purchases, and it is also con ceded that those rebates have never reached the State treas ury. What has become of them is what a great many want to know. If You Were Scared easily you might suppose that the pain in the lower part of your back meant kidney trouble. But being a person of sense you know it is only muscular stiff ness, from cold, and that prompt treat ment with Perry Davis' Painkiller will prevent it from growing into lumbago. Act accordingly and you will be glad vo saw this. There is but one Pain killer. Perry Davis'. It seems to be conceded that the general assembly will pass some sort of a redistricting bill this session, and all of the group ings of counties which we have seen are rather unfavorable to Clarendon. We should not like to be coupled with counties across the river like Orangeburg and Lexington, or to go away up between the Wateree and Con garee and be linked with Rich land. Our people and the people of the Pee Dee section are simi tar people, their interests are alike they plant the same crops, and they have been grouped to gether so long that they have learned to know each other well. We hope that in the new meas ure which,it seems, will pass, we will not be moved so far away from home that we will not know anybody. ___ A Profitable Investment.

Lo yea, Prop. In the Senate last week Sena tor Appelt introduced a bill to regulate the traffic in seed cotton throughout the State. This bill was objectionable to many and suffered defeat, but Mr Appelt has introduced another which he claims meets the defects of the old bill and will remedy many of the evils on the seed cotton ques tion. We admire the plan of the bill, as we understand it is a gen eral bill allowing county comn missioners in their respective counties to fix the license for ealing in seed cotton as with hawkers and peddlers. Under the present system in some coun ties the license is from two to five hundred dollars; in some there is no license at all, and in many counties it is only $23.00. This condition of affairs is man ifestly in oposition to the spirit of the constitution and we be lieve it needs only to be tested to be set aside by the courts. We [ope the general assembly will pass some general legislation upon this subject and provide that the people of one county will not be able to take so much advantage of those of other coun A Good Recommendation.

Editor The Manning Tiraes: I see a piece published in your paper of .ianuary 15th, in which there is an allusion made that there are but two of the magistrates in Clarendon county that do anything. I can only answer for myself and others can he the judges. For the lpast year I have sent into the County Treas urer $41. as my receipts will show, and put one man on the chaingang for thirty days and sent up two eases to the Court of General Sessions and held three inquests. I suppose the reason I have done no more is that we people over here are law abiding citizens any way and we haven't got as many of the colored race to contend with as some other parts have. And as to the sheriff doing any work for the magistrate at j New Zion, that is untrue, for I have held the office for seven years and the Isheriif has never acted on a paper for ime in any shane or form. and I think it ijt that the magistrate at Manning should do three times as much work as the magistrates outside of Manning for the simple fact he gets $300 per year j while we get $100 per year. And furthermore I do not believe in taking up the poor ignorant negro and sending him to the chaingang without any law or without his being guilty. I said in the outset that I had sent one man to the chaingang for thirty days the past year, and after he had served his time out the prosecutor made the statement to me that he did not believe he was guilty of the crime for which lie had to pay the penalty.
