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

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. A

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

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.

+ 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.
