SENATE CHAMiBER, Columbia, January 20th. 1908. The first week of the General Assembly is over with only the preliminary work done. In all legislative bodies it takes time to ge, the machinery started be fore anything of importance is done. The Clarendon delega tion were promptly in their seats when the gavel of the speaker fell and all of them seem to be in gc.d trim for the work. Mr. Scar' orough is having the mat ter of1 the additional bonds for the Summerton school district thoroughly investigated before asking for legislative action, in order that he may not bring about any confusion with those who bought up the old bonds He went down to Sumter Thurs day night and conferred with a lawy -r., and has gotten him to draft the necessary bill. In my judgment however, and have so advised him, that it would be just as well, and perhaps better tole -the additional bond issue alon'. and have an Act -'passed auth\.rizing the loan - needed to complete the building. This monv can be gotten at 5 per cent and can be paid without raising the levy by paying it out of the surplus arising from the preser t bond issue. This is Mr. Scarborough's matter however, and which ever course he chooses to take he shall have my aid. Messrs. Woods and Dingle have not as yet introduced any bills. They are watching things closely and will perhaps have something later; it is not always those that introduce bills who do the most and best work, as it frequently happens the silent member exerts the greatest in fluence when questions of im portance arise. When I reached here it was my purpose to get in my work early, so on Tuesday morning I was among the first to get in the en grossing department with the bills I had brought with me. The following are my bills: "A ill to further regulate agricul tural labor contracts." This wvas referred to the committee on judiciary, and I am told all of the bills upon this subject will be gone over, and from them~the committee will draft a bill. One member of the committee in formed me that my bill comes nearer getting around the recent decision of the supreme court than any he has yet read and will probably be taken as a basis for the committee's bill. A bill to impose a license tax upon all liquor drummers and perscons who solicit orders or offer for sale liquors or bever ages co'ntaihiing alcohol." This was referred to committee on dispe asary but on account of the abse!.ce of its chairman it will not be until the midle of the comi- g week that a report will be m de. The purpose of the bill i.- to make a prohibitive tax on persons engaged in soliciting whiskey orders, and thereby keepinog out a class of men who are flooding both the prohibition and dispensary couniies with liquor, depriving the dispensary couties of the revenue, and making a farce in prohibition counties. .I am satisfied it will pass she Senate. and it should pass the House. It is a good bill, :nd I think it will meet the approval of the President of the W. C. T. U. If it does I would be glad if she will voice her ap prot: 1 in the State and News and Courier so the members of the 6 eneral Assembly may read it. As soon as the bill is print. ed I will send her a copy. - "A bill to authorize and re quire the County Board of Coin missioners of Clarendon County to issue bonds for the purpose of erecting and furnishing a Court House at Manning, and to provide a special building Commission, to be known as the Court House Commission, and to prescribe their powers and duties, and to provide for an annual levy for the purpose of paying an interest on bonds, and to provide a sinking fund to re deem same." Over my protest the bill was referred to Coin mittee' on Finance, but it has since been reported favorably and is now a second reading bill. It will probably get over in the House about Thursday. Since my arrival here there have come several largely signed petitions from various parts of the county urging the delegation to give the people this needed legisla tion. and it is indeed very grati fying to me to see from these petitions that our people realize what a modern court house means to the county. At first' there was some hesitation on the part of the delegation about vot ing fcor the court house proposi tion, influenced perhaps by the Sumnmerton meeting, but when these petitions came rolling in from balemn, Fork, Panola, Pax-' ning. sections, he remembered that his first duty was to what he represented-the county, and not a small portion thereof, and now I am pleased to state that Clarendon's delegation stands as one man for the new court house and progress. "A Bill to consolidate School Districts Nos. 1 and 25 in the County of Clarendon," referred to Committee on Education. This measure affects Falton and Pinewood and brings to Pine wood which has a large white population, a district that has but a very few white children but it has such a large property valuation; the consolidation will wipe away the necessity of the present special tax,there will be more money for school purposes in Pinewood than the special tax gave. This measure was intro duced at the reauest of Supt. Holladay, and a number of citi zens of Fulton and Pinewood. "A Bill to provide -.'or a spec ial board of assessors and a special board of equalization for the town of Manning and to create a new section of the code laws to be known section 385 a." The object of this bill is to bring about a more equal allot ment of the town taxes; as it now stands there is so much room for tax dodging, and it is taken advantage of to the extent tbat there is absolutely no fair ness in the fiscal system in Mar ning. I seek to remedy this evil. It will make some people mad, but in my judgment it will make more people glad. Hon. Charles H. Treat, treas urer of the United States, visited the chamber last Wednesday, and he was invited to address the body. Hon. F. H. Weston, and myself were houored-bitfie president of the-s6nate to escort this distingised American and financier to the rostrum His speech was great. I also had the pleasure of hearing Judge Stafford of Washington, in the House of Representatives. Among the visitors from Clar don this week were Judge John S. Wilson, Oliver O'Bryan, J. McSwain Woods, Esqs., Sheriff E. B. Gamble, and Hon. J. C. Lanham. I am always glad to see my friends from home. The revelations and arrests in the dispensary matters are the topic of conservatism here, and eyerybody is on the tiptoe of ex pectency; every fellow who ever had a transaction with the State dispensary is looking out for a hand to be slapped upon his shoulder. 1 am told the already known developments and the ar rests are not a marker to what is coming. Attorney General Lyon has been prodded by many newspapers for not making good in the promise 'to put stripes on the grafters," and through it all he has been steadily going on, paying no attention to the slaps of ridicule being hurled at him. He may not "put stripes on the grafters," for he does not sit upon the juries, but if there is anyill-gotten money he will force a whole lot of it to be disgorged into the treasury, or into the pockets of lawyers employed to defend. Lyon is doing his duty. He has made good and the finish ing touch must be put on by the people. It was my intention to spend this day at home to secure a statement from the county co'n missioners. We were promised the estimates by mail, but so far they have not been received. I will, as soon as I can, get a written statement from the com mission, confer with the Comp troller General. with the view of borrowing enough money from the sinking fund at 5 per cent to run our county affairs with cash. If I can do this I am sure the county will save five times five per cent. Instead of going home I was urged by President D. B. Johnson to visit "Winthrop." I went, and although I know it was a grand institution, and entitled to the fostering care of every taxpayer in the State. I was not prepared, I must con fess, to see such an establish ment as I beheld. Upon my ar rival I was greeted by several of Clarendon's sweetest jewels, Misses Bradham and Tisdale, seniors, Misses Holladay, Ander son, Johnson, Reaves, and Plow den: and I was as proud of these magnificient girls, as if they had been my own. Every attention well bred girls could show was given us, and I am proud to say that Dr. Johnson and the several teachers spoke to me privately of "my girls," and were warm in their words of commendation. I was taken all through the insti tution, and I was amazed at its magnitude amd completeness. It is in my judgment, the greatest school in the South, and entitled to every consideration from the people. Every dollar spent there is an investiment that will re pay South Carolina mony times. To describe this grandest of in stitutions of learning, I have not the time nor space to undertake it, it is to be seen to appreciate. But one thing I will say, that a school girl can have no greater ambltion than to be a graduate of Winthrop. It is the most com plete wife factory in the world, and there is no place on earth where a young man in search of a good and noble wife, can find a safer investment for his affec tions. Mr. and Mrs. S. I. Till are here at the home of Capt. R. H. Jennings with a very ill child. It was my pleasure to attend services at the Main Street Meth odist church Sunday morning, and Manuing's oid favorite Rev. A. N. Brunson, preach~ed one of the grandest sermons I hiave lis-| tened to in many year-s. His text; was from Job. 11th chapter, 7th; verse. It was a beautiful de of this man of God brought tears to many eyes. Judge Wilson stopped over here yesterday on his way to hold court at Lexington.

About all the suppositions that we hear or see in print ir reference to Governor Ansel's suggestion, that an increase of taxes be levied sufficient to catcl up with arrearages and put thE State's business on a cash basis, are to the effect that the tax payers will "kick" and will makE things warm for the representa tives who support the proposi tion. Isn't that something re markable? To our. mihd thE suggestion is a plain, commor sense business proposition, and we believe that a large propor tion -perhaps a majority- oJ the plain, commonsense busi ness menofthe-Stste will see il rirs proper light, and will nol -only pay. the increased ta3 cheerfully, but will rally to th( support of the common sense and business like Governor and rep resentatives who can see fai enough beyond their noses t( propose and enact a measare tha1 is palpably for the best interes, of the State. Let us hope tha1 true patriotism will be found ir the ascendent in the Genera Assembly, and that there wil: be found so few who are afrait of losing votes that they hardl need be counted.

MANNING AUXILIARY According to the last publish ed prayer book, there are in Cal ifornia, of Japanese men, women and children, 55,247. Estimated unregistered Japanese at work on railroads and in mines about 70,000. Koreans in California, Iabout 800. Koreans in Utah, 500. IIn the vicinity of Puget Pound, 500. Scattered in Alaska and other places, 200. Total, 1,000. Since the publication of these statistics there has been a steady influx of about 1,000 per month at San Francisco alone, so that counting those who have come in by way of Portland, Tacoma, ISeattle, and across the Mexican border, we shall not be far wrong if we estimate the num ber of Japanese and Koreans now on the Pacific coast at about 100,000. These people may be divided into four distinct classes --the student, the merchant, the house servant, and the coolie who goes to the fruit ranches on the railroads. The class most open to Christian effort is the house servant class. His work brings. him in contact with the Ameri cans under the best conditions for making good impressions. The necessity for acquiring a knowledge of the English lang uage sends him to the mission night school. In many cases he belongs to the higher middle class in his own country, and is temporarily drawn to housework by his desire to obtain a better education and his ambition to improve his condition generally. Efforts to care for the Christian welfare of the 15,000 Japanese and Koreans about the bay of San Francisco have resulted in the establishment of eleven well organized Christan mission night schools, anid one Y. M. C. A. Recent ins estigation shows that there are about one thous and Christians, and perhaps five hundred probationers and inquirer's, showing that work among them has by no means been unfruitful.--SEL ECTED.

Manning Grocery Co Exchange Your' ++ Cotton Seed for Meal. I+ i Director R. J. Redding of the Georgia t. + Experiment Station, says: "Cotton Seed Meal is a cheaper and more efFective ferti lizer than cotton seed." - - + "A farmer should never use cotton seed directly as a ferti Slizer when he may exchange it for a fair equivalent of meal."I "Accordir- to chemical analysis of each, 886 pounds of cot- + + ton seed meal are about the equivalent in content of plant food, + to 2000 1 : .ds of cotton seed. But owing to the superior me ecanical edition of the meal and its consequently greater, or + more prcmpt availibility, it is safe to assume that 800 ionds of meal are the full equivi lent to one ton of seed. Therefore, whatever excess above 800 pounds of m'eal the farmer can get in exchange for a ton of seed, or by selling the : + seed and buying the meal, less the cost of hauling or freight t: ing, is so much clear profit in comparison wit&iusing the ton of seed directly as a fertilizer." Director Redding has proven by actual field experiments + that the above statements are right, and by exchanging your seed with us you can realize nearly 100 per cent. profit on the transaction.
