On Monday morning there came very near being a serious wreck of' the - assenger train for Columbia. A hand car loaded with ties was on the track, near the crossing, when the passenger came running up. The hands did not have time in which to remove the car, and when it was hit by the fast moving train, it was broken into splinters. It was almost a miracle the passenger.was not derailed. Died at his home last Thursday B. Reese Gibson, aged about 83 years. The funeral took place - Saturday morning- at Home Branch church. Rev. J. N. Tolar conducted the ser vice. The deceased was a Confederate soldier, served one term in the legis lature. He always took a lively inter est in the Sunday school, and was for many years the Superintendant at Home Brach. He was a good citizen, a staunch friend and a man of influence wnhi community. Monday about noon the residenlce of Mr. David C. Plowden, near Brewing ton, was completelv destroyed by fire, together with all of the furnishings. It seems that the fire originated up in the ceiling of one of the rooms, and was caused on account of a defective flue. Mr. Plowden was not at home when the building first caught, and consequently nothing scarcely was saved. Ie had just gotten in provisions for the year There was no insurance at all. Capt. D. J. Bradham, with a number of his old comrades, marched up the street Saturday to the home of Miss Annie Loryea to receive the decora tions which this lady had for the "Old Vets." These old soldiers are becoming fewer, their lines are growing thinner, and the few present on this occasion were far on the shady side of life's slope. Their step was not as steady as of yore, their heads were not erect, the lustre of their eyes has faded, but their pride in being an old soldier is unshaken, and when they re turned from Miss Loryea's home with the cross of honor upon their breasts they seemed to straighten up, walk erect and step firmly. Wise Counsel From South. "I want to give some valuable ad vice to those. who suffer with lame back and kidney trouble," says J. R. Blankenship, of Beck, Tenn. "I have proved to an absolute certainty that Electric Bitters will positively cure this distressing condition. The first bottle gave me great relief and after taking a few more bottles I was corn pletely cured;-so completely that it be comes a pleasure to recommend this great remedy."

The new administration has taken charge, and immediately after the Gov ernor's inauguration I made out and handed into to his office, the list of can didates for appointment, nominated in the primary. These were: TreasurerL. L. Wells; Auditor,A. P. Burgess; Mag istrates: At Manning, S. M. Youmans; Summerton,A. J. Richbourg; Paxville, L. S. Barwick; Pinewood, A. P. Ragin; Foreston, J. E. Richbourg; New Zion,. W. E. Fleming; Turbeville, J. P. Turbeville. As mentioned last week, Dr. Woods has a bill to abolish the magistrate's office at Turbeville. This bill came up for consideration, and Mr. Scarborough moved to strike out the enacting words, which put the Doctor on his mettle and he made a speech to sustain his ontention. He contends that it is the wish of Salem to have only one magis trate,and to give that magistrate and his onstable increased pay, as all the work done in Salem is done by the magis trate at New Zion. Mr. Scarborough's motion to strike out the enacting words had the approval of 'Mr. Dingle, anad the motion prevailed, which meant the death of the bill, but just before it was finally buried, Mr. Ship, of Florence. directed attention to a House rule re lating to officers, and the matter was passed over, thus giving Doctor Woods another opportunity to get his bill be fore the House. This measure has reated a small size storm in the Salem section. There are some in and about the New Zion section wanting the leg islation Dr. Woods is asking for. Whether or not they believe it to be in the interest of better service, or be cause they are the friends of the New ion magistrate and want him and his onstable to get more pay, I do know, ut when the Doctor claims he is rep resentinoP the wishes of a large major t of Salem in this matter, the rest of the delegation cannot agree with him. because we have in our possession a pe tition containing the names of 158 citi zens of Douglas and Sandy Grove town ships, urging us to kill Doctor Woods' ill. Then the delegation views the mat ter in another light; the office at Tur beville has been cut off from New Zion by the County Executive Commit tee so that New Zion and Midway could vote for the magistrate at New Zion. nd Douglas and Sandy Grove vote for agistrate at Turbeville. These mag istrates were recently nominated by the people of their respective sections, nd the delegation, with the exception of Dr. Woods, feel that to not permit the magistrate at Turbeville to have the office to which he was nominated would be a violation of the primary pledge, hence they will stand by the nominee of the primary and leave the :agisterial offices in Salem as they are and upon the same pay. Mr. Scarborough has introduced a bill in the House to prevent the adul teration of cotton seed meal and to pro vide a penalty therefor. The bill was oeferred to the committee on .agricul ture. The cotton seed mill interests were aroused by this bill, and made a desperate fight before the-committee to prevent favorable action, but Mr. Scarborough met their arguments at every turn and succeeded in convinc ing the committee that his bill was meritorious and it was reported favor able, thus giving the measure the ad vantage of the committee's prestige and support. I am told by some who were present at the committee meeting that "Old Scarborough's" answers to the scientific arguments of the mill men appealed to common business and he proved in his own peculiar way that his knowledge was obtained, not from lectures and books, but from actual practical experience. When he finish ed the fine spun theories of the oil mill magnates was full of holes. The bill has not yet been printed, and therefore I am unable to give its details, but as 1 understand, it is to prevent cotton seed meal that has not the proper per cent. of ammonia from being put on the market as standa'rd. I think he wants the standard to be not less than eight per cent. ammonia; anyway his pur pose is in the interest of the farmers. There was a measure in the House to regulate the sale of cocaine. Doctor Woods was opposed to it, moved to strike out the enacting words, and after Mr. McMaster spoke in the bill's defence, Dr. Woods again got up and made a speech in opposition. He con tradicted some of the statements made by Mr. McMaster and ridicuted the idea of any but medical men formula ting such measures. The Doctor thinks when it comes to anything that relates to diseases or medicines laymen should not tamper with it, but leave those things to the doctors. The bill went to a third reading almost unanimously. The bill I spoke of last week rela ting to prevent immigrant agents from oming here and inducing the labor away, was passed to a third reading. I was about to introduce this same bill in accordance with several editorials I had published in THE TIMES. I, be ieve it will have a good effect and is in the iterest of our farmers, but when I found that Doctor Sawyer, of George town, had already such a bill, I tore up mine to enlist upon his side. .With me it makes no difference who introduces a measure, if it appeals to my judg ment as a good thing .for the public welfare I will support it. The bill introduced by myself rela ting to labor contracts, after the best argument I could make, did not con vince the committee that it should pass and they made an unfavorable report. I had the bill placed upon the. Calen dar and will make a fight for its pas sage upon the floor of the Senate. Sev eral members of the committee are from the upper counties and they told me that the labor conditions with them are satisfactory under the existing labor ontract laws. They seemed surprised to learn that with us the labor contract system has become so abused that when a man employs a hand he takes the chances of paying money be never dreamed of or waking up some morning gang for not paying a debt to a werch ant who put him under contract but never had an idea of working him on a farm. Since the bill has been reported I have taken the trouble to explain it to a number of Senators and I now be lieve there is hope for its passage with probably some amendments. As chairman of the deleation I in vited the House delegation to my room at Wright's hotel, and we had a meet ing last Thursday night. After con sidering the estimates furnished us by the county commissioners, we found that it would be imdossible to reduce the levy for ordinary county expenses, and decided to make it as at present 2 3-4 mills, and to take the one-half mill levy for jail purposes and put it on the roads, together with a commutation tax of S2. In round numbers this should have about $S,000 for road purposes, and with a business administration of the commissioners' office I feel that there will be a marked improvement upon our roads and in our county affairs. The delegation unanimously signed the recommendation of Dr. C. D. Geiger and B. P. Broadway for ap pointment as members of the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Broad way has had considerable experience on the board and his continuance will be of great value to the new supervisor. Dr.Geiger was appointed to succeed 'Mr. H. M. McIntosh. who was regarded as ineligible because of coming from the same section of the county that the su pervisor resides in,- and it was thought ise to have the commissioners repre senting different sections. Mr. McIn tosh has made a good commissioner, nd it was with reluctance the delega Zon displaced him. Docd r Geiger was not an applicant for the place, but the appointment was tendered him because of the delegation's confidence in his qualifications to sit on the lid of the treasury, his excellent business ability. The acceptance of Doctor Geiger should be appreciated, as it will entail a great sacrifice, and nothing but patriotism induces him. I am satisfied that every account against the county will be thoroughly investigated jbefore paid, and that every economy will be ex ercised. The delegation also named the town ship assessors, having for their guide nothing from the auditor, and only an imperfect list found in the Comptroller General's report for 1905. Therefore, in the Salem section the selections iiith a few exceptions, were made by Doctor Woods, the other sections by Messrs. Scarborough, Dingle and myself, and they are as follows: St. Marks-G. G. Thames, I. N. To bias, W. H. Lowder. Santee-C. H. Bradly, J. W. Clark. W. G. Frierson. St. Paul-A. J. Richbourg, David Levi. W. A. Richbourg. Friendship-J. S. Cantey, C. W. Brown, A. P. Brock.

W. T. P. Sprott. I showed thie delegation at-'this meet ng the financial condition of the onty according to the statement furn ished by the clerk of the Board of Com missioners, and it is far from satisfac tory to me. There was spent last year an roads and bridges. and for the ~haingang the enormous sum of $10, 140.81, and this does not include, the road engine upon which there is a ebt still hanging over the county of $2,610. We are informed the county's note is in the bank bearing interest fter the first of this month. We can not remove this indebtedness unless we raise the tax levy. It is impossible, be aause with the present levy it will take . most economical management to meet current expenses. Then what is to be tne? The people are crying against oppressive taxes, and we are in debt for a machine which is practically worthless to the county, to pay for it would require not less than three fourths of a mill increase in the levy. This debt will have to be paid, sooner or later, but I thought we would watt another year and see how we come out with our new county administration. There is another item of $1,580.80 spent for the poor. I had no idea Clar endon had that many paupers living on: the county's bounty. Where are they? Surely not in the poor house, then they must be living with their kith and kin, and if a proper investigation is made and the law complied with the number of beneficiaries may be c'it down. There is an item of S1:611.35 spent on public buildings, not on the cc art house. nor the jail; then whe:'e? According to the County Commissioners' estimate it will take $12,215.00 to run the county, and acording to my calculations, 2 34 mills will not raise this amount, but it is all the cloth we are going to give the com missioners and they must make the garment accordingly. I had prepared a bill looking to the mprovement of our road system. This I submitted to the delegation and after making a few minor changes it was agreed upon, so on Friday I introduced it, and had it placed upon the Calendar without reference, but on Saturday I met with the County Commissioners, nd went over the bill with them. 'his I thought proper, as they would hae to operate the law. Out of defer nce to them I consented to reduce the number of working days on the road to six," instead of "eight," as I had ori ginally intended, and make the law effective March 1st. The following is the full text of the bill: To provide for the working of roads, building and repairing of bridges in the County of Ciarendon. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: SSzCTIO. I. From and after the 1st day of March 1907. all able-bodied male persons in the ounty of Clarendon between the ages of eigh teen and fifty years of age, shall perform or cause to be performed. six~ days labor upon the roads of saids County. or in lieu thereof, pay a ommutation tax of two dollars. to be paid at the time other State and County taxes are col cted but not later than the first of February Sc. .

That it shall be the duty of said County Board of Commissioners for said County ad they are hereby required, where any im portant pieee of road or bridge work Is to be done and the cost of same exceeds twenty-five dollars to let out contracts for same to thc lowest responsible bidder after ten days adver tisement of the time and place of said letting. and the said Board shall require of the person taking said contract a bond in a good and suffcient sum of not less than double the amount of said contract. wi-h proper security for the proper performance of said contract. ahi the plans and speciulcati'cs shall be furnished b the Board in wrtlag and referred to in the contracts so as to fully identify and show the terms upon wh-ich such contracts shall be let. SEC 4. Th;.t it shall be the duty of, the County Board of Commissioners to appoint a sslcient nuraber of overseers to warn out the hand s bet ,.oa duty and to superintend the work of said hands. and for superintfldif said work, the said overseer shall be paid at the rate of not exceeding one dollar and fif ty cents per day for not more than six days in any one year. Provided, that said overseer shall not work the public roads with less than ten hands at any one time.

SEC. i. That all Acts and parts of Acts in! consistent with this Act. be and the same are hereby repealed. I should be pleased if some of my friends, after reading this bill, if they can improve upon it.. write me their suggestions. I-am simply trying to im prove present conditions. The resignation of Judge Rt. 0. Purdy as Judge of the 3rd Circuit, came somewhat as a surprise, although I had heard it rumored. As soon as the news rea2hed Columbia there began at once by the friends of Solicitor John S. Wilson, and Hon. T. B. Fraser. of Sum ter, a systematic canvass of the Gen eral Assembly, and in my opinion, Sol licitor Wilson will be Judge Purdy's successor. Mr. Wilson did not reach Columbia until Tuesday, and was taken with a chill and a severe billious attack. He was removed to the Columbia hos pital where every attention was given him, and when I left him, about one hour before train :". he was on the road to recovery. He was a very-sick man, though I did not regard his ill ness alarming. but fortunately, under the circumstances, he has very loyal friends who will care for his interests, and will never lag, or leave a stone unturned until they have succeeded in placing the judicial ermine of the 3rd circuit upon the shoulders of a man who has made one of the best solicitors in the State, and who deserves, upon the ground of long and faithful duty, fearlessly, and honestly performed, the promotion. Manning was well represented here this week. The State Bar Association nd the Supreme Court brought Messrs. Davis, DuRant, "Lesesne, Weinberg, OBryan, and Woods of the Mauning Bar: Mr. D. W.
