SENATE CHAMBER. t Columbia. S. C., Feb. 10. 1902. ( The management of the South Carolina Inter State and West Indian Exposition had as their guests on last Friday and Satur day the members of the General Assembly and the State ofticers. The weather was superb, and from start to finish the occasion was hugely enjoyed. The party left Columbia over the Southern in a special train and returned in a special on Saturday night over the Atlantic Coast Line. The arrangements were perfect, and immediately on the arrival the committee that met them led the way to the administration build ing were speeches of welcome were delivered and responded to after which the guests were in vited to lunch. which was very much enjoyed after being on the road five hours, some without breakfast, and those who arose soon enough to get a bite at home were equally as anxious for something to eat. Then came the sight seeing. Those who have been holding back to visit the exposition need do so no longer, and visitors will find a plenty to keep them steadily engaged for several days. The exhibits are wonderful, and while it is a fact that the coun ties of our own State are not all represented, yet, Superintendent Love has filled the building to such an extent that one is amaz ed to see the productions of this State. It would take a whole day to properly inspect the ex hibits of the State building. Of course one can start at one end of the Court of Palaces and take a cursory glance at things, and get through to the other end in a few hours, but to make an in spection for the purpose of learn ing it will take a whole week. The United States government exhibit is not only immense, but it is beautiful. The various States have their exhibits in stalled and we want every body to see this show. In this article we can not undertake a descrip tion of the exposition because * we are Iacking in space, but we want to say, because it is due the management that this exposition is not only the greatest one ever held in the South, but aside from the electric display it is said to be in many respects great er and more beautiful than Buf falo. The crowds are now be ginning to go in and every day from now on the show will get better, because the greater the crowd the more attractions will come. Every school in South Carolina, whether it is a college or a graded school, should take at least two days on the exposi tion grounds, because we know of nothing that would be of more practical value to school children than the sights to be seen on the exposition grounds. There should be "Public School" days and arrangements should be made with the railroad compa nies for cheap rates, and every school whether in town or coun try should arrange to be there. The people of the State should lend every effort to make this in stitution a grand financial suc cess. They can have county days and every county in the State can go to the exposition in one big excursion, in this way crowds will be on the grounds every day and it will attract peo ple from abroad. There are many great exhibits at the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition, there are, many marvelous things. Thare are sights, sounds and sensations to suit every shade of human taste: profound things for the profound, artis tic, sentimental things for the sentimental and morals a plenty for the moralists. But if one is looking simply for a good time, for pure unadulterated fun, it can be had in the beautiful Or ient on the Midway and in big bunches. At a step one finds one's self in the midst of a maze of narrow winding streets flanked with quaint looking market stalls, stately mosques, solemn temples and graceful minarets, all cloth ed in the gorgeous colors so dear to the Eastern heart. Oas every hand arises a babel of strange sounds: the din of drums, the falsetto squeak of queer reed instruments, the droning chant of Moslem pray ers. the hoarse shouts of camel drivers, the shrill cries of haw kers vending their wares, the grunting of camels, the braving of diminutive donkeys, the trumpeting of elephants: a mned ley of wild, weird music and the jargon on many tongues. For here is a motley and poly glot throng of many peoples and of myliad languages. The tur baned - ur-k strides abreast of the skirted Greek: the white shrouded Alger-ian rubs elbows with the swarthy sheik fr-pm the plains of Arabia: the natty be the ebony skinned belle of Ethi opia, while the stranger is jostled by a motley crew of Americans, Albanians, Kurds, Roumanians, Servians, Bulgarians, Nubians Cingalese, Arabians. Soudanese, Abyssinians and a host of others. all dressed in their national cos tumes and pursuing their accus tomed occupatioas with all the noise and confusion of the land of Allah. Mahomet and Buddah. A hustiing, bustling, jostling throng: arrayed in all the pictur esque splendor of the far East. Mluleteers and musicians. camel drivers zand contortionists, swordsmen and singing girls, dancers and dervishes, tumblers and tradesmen, jugglers and jenizaries houris and hawkers, acrobats and artisa'ns, a shout ing. singing, rollicking and good natured crowd as one may wish to see. And how the sight-see ing and fun lovings American crowds enjoy it. Yonder goes a blushing bride and a dashing groom spending a brief moment of theirlhoneymoon on the swaying, lurching back of a camel: there a staid and steady old banker is being jolted along the streets of Cairo on an equally segacious doindey: here a motherly looking matron is seen clambering to the broad back of a kneeling elephant: old and young of both sexes and all sta tionscatch the intlection of the moment and join in the jollity of the occasion. Busy politicians forget the plots and plans of party and faction to jounce up and down on the vertebrae of an Algerian ass: overworked busi ness men forget their cares in a camel ride and laugh themselves red and reckless as they roll and pitch on the hurricane deck of this ambling -ship of the des est:" thoughtless students for sake their books and revel in the delights of the Oriental theatre, and grizzled veterans share with roystering youths their adinira tion of the grace and beauty of the dancing girls or the grues ome thrills evoked by the grot esque torture dance. Every member of the legisla tive party comes away with a feeling that he or she must go back, and when the legislature adjourns many of the solons will carry their families down. The living expenses are cheap, one can get board and lodging as low as a 1.00 per day and possibly cheaper by the week. In urg ing the people to go to tothe ex position we wish to assure them that we do so sincerely, and be cause we feel that they will be greatly benefitted thereby. Since my last letter it is with sncere pleasure that I can an nounce that Governor McSween ey has pardoned Frank M. Play er, the Kingstree dispenser who was found short and convicted. Senator Williams and myself carried the pardon over to the penitentiary and when we broke the news to Player, he stood al most petrified and for several minutes in silent prayer of thanks to God for his deliverance from bondage. I have witnessed many pathetic scenes, but this one was enough to melt a heart of stone. I knew Player and within his breast there beats no dishonest heart, but his down fall came through his inability to say no, to a clss of blood-suck ers who, to gratify their own desires would send a fellow crea ture to hell, and then laugh in their sleeves at his tortures. So it is with Frank Player. He was always an honest open neart ed man, his home was always open to his friends and his pock et was never closed to their wants: when he took the posi tion of dispenser, pretended friends soon began patting him on the back and to learn his weaknesses; they found them after a while and their wor-k of destruction set in, and continued until they carried him on to the ~brink of the precipice and when they got all they could out of hinm they hurled him down into the abyss of disgrace, and gloat ingly turned to seek another victim. Frank Player is now a free man and although a man on the shady side of life we believe if his health and life is spared he will make every effort to live ahoetan upright life, and it isth dtyof every manly man to take the poor fellow by the hand and whisper words of en couragement into his ear: the man who would throw his mis fortunes up to him is a miserable coward. The work of the legislature is dragging its way along. The big gest question was the fight on what is known as the "child labor" bill. The "Kings daugh 'ters" a benevolent organization was the prime mover in pressing the bill, and they had a number of able men to advocate, sonme of the strongest arguments were made on this issue, and the ques tion has a gr-eat deal of food for thought in it. The 1)ill passed the senate at the last session by a very close vote, I being among the number that opposed it, and nmv reason for voting against~ making it unlawful for- a child to work in a cotton mill. was that I felt that par-ents were responsible for their chil dren and they should be left the freedom of managing their own, 'and that the legislature should not interfer-e. Then I opp1osed the bill, because there was no provisiont for the chiildlren for bidden to labor in the mills, to make them go to school, and if they were not compelled to go to school, and not allowed to work. in my opinion the adage about an idle brain being the devil's wokshop would be verified. I cn see the ill effects of chlildren having to toil in mills, but to let them grow up in vagabondage would be worse. There are wid prop, take the children out of the mills and to the poor house they would have to go. Tl theorists and sentimentalists who are pressing this class of maeasures do not look at the prac tica I side at all, they cling to the sentimental altogether. The cotton seed bill after a very hard fight was killed. and I joined in the killing because I was left in the position of taking a choice between letting Claren (Ion remain as she is or have forced upon her a licenise of , so I concluded to help kill the substitute. but I have nu hesitancy in saving that if anv man chooses to test ourseed cot ton license law, it will be declar ed unconstitutional on thc ground, that it is not a -eneral law. id until some such test is made, not until then will the big planters in the legishiture con sent to permit a county. have a sensible license which can be collected. In Sumter they have a ".(0 license, and the result is they (10 not collect one cent, the same in Orangeburg. while Wil liamsburg and Florence have no license at all. These big plan ters do not want a poor man to have the privilege of selling his cotton in the seed, because they believe it might keep them from getting everything he makes, and uniless they are prevented by a court decision they will make things more and more op pressive, so that a poor man will not be able to buy, barter or ex change anything without first obtaining the consent of the owner of the land -upon which he lives. I regard the license system nothing more or less than oppression for the benefit of the rich class. The bill to make it a misde meanor to destroy the pasture fence in Douglas township has passed the senate and gone over to the House, where I hope the delegation will look after it. Dr. Woods told me that he would watch out for it and help its passage. The bill to increase the salary of the magistrate at St Paul has passed the senate and is now over-in the House, where, I am informed, it may meet with the opposition of one member of the delegation; a majority of the delegation agreed to an increase of salary on the ground that the amount of work done by that magistrate warrants the increase. The St Paul magistrate's office turned into the treasury already since January 1st about A70. I introduced the bill for the in crease because I thought it was just and without any.care as to the political effect. I am not here to play politics, I am here, sworn to do my duty, and every measure introduced andl voted for by me, is with a conscienti ous desire to act for the best in terests ef tire whole people. ] do not bring to the senate any personal batred. nor do I bring any personal favors, and while]I am opposed to increased salaries as a rule, I am equally opposed to starving to death a good offi cer, and thus cripple the service. My incorporation bill has not yet been reported from the com mittee on account of the absence of the chairman, and as it is get ting late in tire session I am afraid it will not get through. The bill that was to be framed for the Summerton charter has not reached me yet. I gave the petition to solicitor Wilson but up to now no bill has been drawn. I mention this in order to let the people of Summerton know that I am not responsible for the de lay. All bills are framed in the Solicitor's department and I have been doing my best tc urge the drawing of this bill. Solicitor Wilson said that Mr Purdy was to draw the bill, and I wrote Mr Purdy, but received no reply, I then called upon So licitor Wilson and urged him to draw it but without success sc far. The jury bill has been ratified, but not in time to help us for the spring term. The genera] salary bill has been finished by the senate, and it is nrow up to the House to either pass or kill I have been bighly honored with an invitation to a place on the reception comnmittee to r ceive the president of the United States, and I regard tho compli ment as an honor to the people I represent. The president was to be in Charleston the coming Wednesday but on account of the illness of his son he was forced to canacel his engagement at the exposition, but promises to come later, and when he does come I sincerely hope that as Clarendon has been honored with a Representative on his recep tion comrmittee, that she will show her appreciation by having many of her peop].e in the city on -'President's day."

Perry nat1w "Slab's " Ruminations. iditor The Man iinig Tinies: After an alsence from your columns of several m.)nths I will scratch you a line or two, whether it finds its way to the waste-basket or not. Well, another year has slipped by and still another fairly on its way. I haven't beer in this world as long as some other people I know, but I don't think I can remember a year when the farmer, as a class, had to start in for nother crop under as gloomy circum stances. That is a broad assertion to make, but just think how many farmers on the first day of March next will not have a grain of home-made corn. And how many haven't got a grain now, and how many have been buying corn ever .,acte the first of .Tanuary. We may !and do have to buy a lot of things every Cr. but great frogs and tarapins, to have to buy corn, bread. the statff of life, and not only to have to be buying it now. but to have been buying it ever .sice before 't was made. If that ain't somethin' elsEe then I'd like for some bidy to tell me what it is. And corn already a dollar a bushel and just a trottin' right on, like it didn't care whether we got any or not. But we ain't so bad off as we might be; and there is one thing among many other things that we have always got to be thankful for. and that is the fact that Nwe are curiously. fearfully, wonderfully and amazingly made. You just think about it a little and you see what I say about man is so. Here he is. ain't got no corn, ain't got but mighty little meat, and over half of 'em ain't got none; ain't got no taters, ain't got no rice, ain't got no peas, ain't got no syrup, in fact ain't got no nothin' but a debt hangin' over him from last year, and a awful curious feelin' somewhere about him, that maybe, perhaps, there ain't any use to ask his good old friend the merchant for any more credit until that last year debt is paid. Of course we ain't all in that bad a fix, but a heap of us is, every inch of it. Right here is where that amazing fact comes in. In spite of all these facts a starin' us in the face, we wool hatters are just goin' ahead with big, willin', hopeful hearts, getting ready for another crop, just like we had plenty, and I do say, when vou can see that we ain't all discour aged all to pieces and down in the mouth about our prospects, then you'l have to admit that man is curiously and wonderfully mace. And. Mr. Editor, this chat about hard times brings another thought to my mind. When a merchant fails, when he makes a lot of bad sales to untrust worthy people that won't pay their debts. that's one cause of failure, but I believe a more general cause for failure on the merchant's part is bad manage ment on his part, but let the cause be what it may, when he fails all his bosses come to see him and he patches up things to the :une of about 25 or 50 cents on the dollar, and he starts out a new'man, healed and elected. Now, when a farmer fails, in place of settling up for 25 or 50 cents on the dol ler, that same old debt sticks to him like grim death to a cooter's back, and right there it sticks right on as long as he's able to plant a little patch of cot I ton and promise to pay. This is a mighty carious old world. but for all that it's just the best old world to live in that I ever seen. I see from the. papers that one of them big warehouses is for sale. Now you town fellows what's got money do the right thing. fall in line and buy it and run it according to the editor of THE MANNING TIMES, and the way you'l buy tobacco next fall will be a 'caution to sinners. We are all expect ing to get rich on tobacco this year. TYours truly, .JOHN SLAB. Something That Will Do You Good.

I know but little of his Of icial work. But I do know he had he Sherif telafoned at one time, to come or send his Deputy to arest a sick white man that he was well acquanted with, and never did make the arest. I also know that I swore out a writ for amisdemenor in the presance of Girls, and he refused to have the writ served after I insisted on him to discharge his duty. untill the Negro left the County. Then refused to Send the papers to the Sherif, to forward to the Sherif of Georgetown. County. This I think shows up wvell for an officer of the pece.

My clerk suggested I try Kodol Dyspepsia Cure which I did with most happy results. I have had no more trouble and when one can go to eating mince pie, cheese candy and nuts after such a time. their digestion must be pretty good. I endorse Kodol Dspepsia Cure heartily."
