C., Feb. 5th, 1912. The general assembly has turn ed its way on towards the home ward stretch, and from now on i1 will do its principal work. The main things of general irnpor tance to be considered is the avp propriation and supply bills, these will take up a large part o. the time, because there is a di versity of opinion as to the nieedh of the State, and too, the genera assembly has been warned tha1 if the appropriations are extrav agant the Governor will take a hand in the game to cut thenm down. It will be rememnbered that the governor vetred the Ac1 providing for the distribution o: the monies on hand from the dis pensary which was some $300, 000; accordting to the constitutior this money is to go to the coin mon schools of the State, but the distribution Act of last year per mnitted a part of it to be distri buted to the high schools, and tc be apportioned according to en rollment, which if put into oper. ation would have et.t the amoun1 belonging to the common schooN considerably, and too, it wouk have left the distribution with ut discretion foxr the school authlori ties. There was a whole lot o criticism about the governor': action in this matter, but he ha: the endorsement of the Statn Board of Education, and th< State Superintendent of Educa tion. nevertheless, those whc hay: the fever to pass Acts orei tio. veto, wanted to discredit th( governor' in this measure by pass ing the Act over his veto any wayv but fortunately ther'e art enough inl bothi bodies who s~ the~ wisdom of his action and them wvili not consent to cut otf thiii noses to spite their faces, these will vote to sustain the veto, ir fact, the House did p~ass thl( measure over the veto, but who~ in came over to the senate, the( committee on education of whiel RMER: 7s to buy quali .d of fertilizer 3 hed on the bas it you want to btically All xed fertilizrs obtamii th, Phospor :om1 Aeid Phosphate. and the Pota1 ish salts which are imported fro ) the Ammonia, however, which ugredient, the manufacturer has om.

I have received from the coun ty commissioners the estimate for the expenses for 1912 which shows a need for $1, 162.86 inore tihan last year on account of the increase of salaries for the Treas urer, Auditor, Sheriff and Super intendent of Education, howeyer, this will not increase the levy, as there will be enough raised by the additional property put upon the tax books that nas heretofore escaped taxation, to meet this in crease. The total estimate for 1912 is $27,921.20. The readers of THE TiMEs will recall thle matter of reindexing the real estate records in tihe of tiee of the Clerk of Court, this work was given by contract to Mr. A. Plumber Burgess for $500 as provided in the Act. Mr. Bur gess received the S500 as prom ised, the amount he agreed to do the work, later it was discovered thtat he made errors, omissions, and some of his work was incor rectly done, when the matter was called to my attention I through these columns directed the atten tion of the authorities to it, which resulted in correspondence with Mr. Burgess, and be promised to make good his work for which he was paid. I am informed that he has deposited in a bank $350 andI the county commi sioners ar ranged withl some parties to cor rect the errors, now Mr. Burgess wishes the delegation to provide for the cou nty to reimburse him for this outlay of $350. He came to Columbia, called upon the members of the House delegation. I did not see him at all, to these gentlemen he presented his side of the matter and apparently con vi xnced them that he should be reimbursecd for the amount he is to pay for having his contract talld. I went over to the. IIouse afew nights ago and the delegation seemed to be impress-| ed with the justice (f Mr. Bur-i ess's claim,. but I do not see it| as they seemn to. I regard a con-| tract a solemnl pledge, intended to be carie out anid if the con tractor found himselfr without profit with the transaction it is his misfortune, and not my fault, there was no comuIsion for him to assume the labor, lhe did it on his own volition, if his work was not done properly it i.s his duty to see thiat it is dtone properly. an1d if he hamd to hae some oneC els to correc~t his workl. and~ had to payv them. the o or he e into achouil not rcome ALII ty in your fert rou buy that is ps, but the ant know is, what plant from germination to facturer will teI you that above imaterials, but DOE We pin out faith to South's own product, and any.

The contract was for 8500, but if there is a provision made to reimburse Mr. Burgess the S350.00 he will pay~ for-correcting his work, then the taxpayers will have to pay $850.00 instead of $500.00 that he agreed to do the work for. I shall niever consent to allow this additional $350.00 to be paid by the taxpayers. I am sorr~y Mr. Burgess brought about a condi tion which required him to pay to have his work corrected, but my sorrow does not reach the point where I feel justified in making the taxpayers pay for it, and should the House delega tion under-take to make provision for this addition~al sum to be paid for this work, I shall inter pose my objections in no uncer tain way. It is argued, and the argument is supported by some of the lawyers of the Manning bar, that Mr. Burgess took the contract for too small an amount the work was worth mnore, that Sumter paid three times as much for the reindexing of its records; while all of this may be true. it does uot convince me of the justice of making the tax payers of Clarendon county pay: additional money to a man whose: contract, voluntarily made, was for $500.00. If the lawyers of the Manning bar really feel that Mr. .Burgess is entitled to $350. more than he made that contrat for, I have no objection to them showing their faith by their works by going down into their own pockets and making good to Mr. Burgess the $350.00 he asks for, but I shall not consent to pay him this additional $350. out of the county treasury. One of the most important bills at this session is the State~ warehouse bill, which had its birth in Marlboro, and which was nursed into activity by Hon.; John L. McLaurin. This bill I seeks to give to the farmers of the State a means to warehouse their cotton in manner similar to the plan now in operation in Louisanna. and which has work4 ed successfully, giving to the I farmers of that and surrounding States a plan whereby they can warehouse their cotton safely I and eliminate the middleman, the'y borrow money at a low rate| of interest because the State's crcdit is back of the scheme, and if all of the cotton producing States follow suit I think the cotton marketing problem will be solved. The bill passed the senate andi is now in the House. The bill carries with it an appropria-I tioni of S250,000 with $5,000 for! contingent expenses. There isj some question of constitutionali iy involved. but before the Act Js pu into operiation the Supreme court will b.e asked to pass uponfl Is constitutionality in a suit~ ilizer as much put up by a r lysis alone i kind of mater maturity.

The race track matter which has created so much discussion is now before the Senate, the bill passed~ the House by an over whelming vote, many did not vote, because they saw it was a foregone conclusion. The fight in the Senate will be closer, espec ially so on the injunction feature. there are many senators who ob ject to government by injunction in criminal cases, believing it is contrary to the principles of a Democratic government, and too, every Democratic platform since 1876, National and State has de nounced such procedure. On this feature I am unalterably oppos ed, for the reason that I believe every iman has the right when charged with the violation of a law, whether it be a mnisdemean or or higher crime, to have the facts determined by a jury. I in toduced an amendment to the Car lisle bill to this end, if the senate adopts my amendment or one of similar effect I will inter pose no further objection to the passage of the anti-racing bill. There is a great misunderstand ing about this measure all over the country, the general impres sion is that the promoters of the racing scheme invested their money in the racing plant with out authority, as some one has xpressed it, they took "a gam blers chance," this is not true: some three years ago the pro moters camne to the general as sembly and asked for a charter, this was granted to them. later they organized a company and obtained a charter from the Sec retary of State to do business, upon the faith of these charters induce people to invest in a plant, which by the way is one of the fnest in the United States, cost ing about $200,000, they also in luced about 1,500 thorough-bred horses from all over the Union to be brought to Charleston at an e~ormous expense, the associa tion has rules and regulations which look to making their rac mg clean, and for the protection of the publbe, now before the as sociation is given an opportunity to demonstrate how they will :onduct their scheme, it is sought to practically confiscate a prop. rty and rights ootained from the general assembly. There are some whbo do not think this fair. ind they r egard the enactment of law which will stop the racing meets as badl faith on the part of the assembly: the time for the reneral assembly to have object ed was when the association ap lied for the charter, but inas nuch as the general assembly lid not object then, 'out on the zontrary granted the charter, it should as a matter of honesty ad fairness, wait to see whethe r or not the busines will be con as in anything putable mam ) not a true t( ials are used t This Gu $S WORTH MORE TO YC PRINTED ON THE FACE GET IT PROM NO OTHE T wo other points, at lea deciding whose brand of fert First, it should be thoro bag of the same brand will I possible to make them.

The racing game was outlawed from several States because of obnoxious features, but this as sociation profiting by the past has adopted rules and employed a detective force to have their rules carried out, the rules dQ away with the complaints thdt werei made in the other States one of these rules prohibit pool selling. Pool selling is a scheme where the saloons and soda founts and cigar stores in the cities per mitted the selling of pools on the races so that betting would go ou at all times, and even boys could go to these resorts to bet without going about the race course, it was this feature wnichr aroused the ire of the people in the States tnat passed laws against the race course, but this association has fortified itself against these insti tutions and it has employed Pmn kerton detectives to enforce its rules. I have talked to a number of our best citizens with regard to the establishment in this county of a system of rural police, and in nearly every case it is regard ed as unnecessary at this time. The House delegation introduced a rural police bill and there be ing no objection on the part of any of the House delegation, it passed and is now in the Senate. THE TIMES readers know my at titude towards this measure, but I shall briefly give my objections here. I am opposed to the extra ordinary power to be given by this measure, I consider it dan gerous in the extreme. I am afraid' of it because it gives a power not possessed to the high sheriff who: is a constitutional ofncer; I am opposed to it from financial rea sons, the county is unable at this time to undertake the expense: I am opposed to it because it will* be hard to get men for- these po sitions who have the proper dis-: cretion to be entrusted with the tremendous power given in the bill. In order that my readers may know what the measure is I reproduce it here, and ask them to give especial attention to sec tion 5, and then ask themselves if they do not think to entrust the power of entering, even by breaking into houses without a warrant. extraor-dinary. and cal culated to do more harm than good.
