Little other work i was (lone. The members appear to be finding their bearings and are lining up on the real legislative fights which will commence in the next few (lays. The members are investigating the var ious improved hignway methods be ing advanced on all sides, and it seems certain that some sort of a comprom ise will be effected so that South Caro lina will have good roads. Some of the members who left Columbia last year as unswcrved opponents of a good roads system which will cost money, are back here determined that some *u't of highway legislation will be en acu 2d. Already several small confer ences have been held on the matter. A number of good ro:.d bills are in prospect for the llouse and Senate hoppers. Sulfragist "Lobby" on Hand. The suffragist "lobby' showed up in force today, and already it is gen eral thing to see some devoted woman advocate buttonholing the members of the General Assembly and telling them of the beneficient governmental results to be obtained from allowing the fair sex the ballot. No decided itiment has shown itself on either of the question as yet, but there strong partisans for and against the Susan 13. Anthony amendment to the pationjl Constitution, and like w gro are many who do not know wI4} a$ to turn. The prevailing qti by among legislators is: "Is t age amendment going to carra'?" i 1 very convenient, some times, to J te' with the prevailing side. A resolution was adopted by the House and concurred in by the Sen ate asking the Governor to person ally read his annual message to the joint assembly at noon tomorrow. Sub sequently a request was read from Governor Cooper requesting this iden tical thing. James R. Bellamy, a prominent truck-grower and business man of Beaufort County took oath today as representative from his county. Mr. Bellamy could not re;ort at the last session of the General Assembly be cause his large truck-growing inter ests would have a en jeopardized be cause of lack of labor and expert supervision. It was necessary for him to stay in Beaufort as ne 'se to his interests or otherwise sutler irrepar able financial loss. George W. Seignious, of Charleston and George W. Failey, ofg Fort Motte were two new members who were sworn in today. The former succeeds Joseph F. Wise, of Charleston. re signed, as member of the IIoinse from Charelston County, ant the latter .1. C. Redmon, of St. Matthews resigned as a member of the House from Cal houn county. Tt Attend lReception The Il ouse acceptedl an inivitat iont of the student body of the University of South Carolina to at tend a receip tion for the member of the Legislature1 andl attaches andl State oflicers at that institution Wednesday, .Januarmy lst from 5:30 to '7:30 o'clock( in the after noon. The bill iregulating surety funrds in probate courts, which received an un favorable report from the judiciary committee last year, was reject ed to.. (lay and stricken from the( H ouse enl The mea'isurme whli ch repeals the low exemoting certain b~uildling and loan assoc'inationis from taxation, to that all institutions of this sort will have to pay for the upkeep of the government was passed from second to third read ing in the House. At the reqluest of their authors hill s renulating the salary of the court sti'.iograp~her for the Fifth .Jud icial Circuit andI providling for a coi mmis sion for improving and enlarging Ba rnwellI Coun ty Court HIouse were' withdlrawn from the files of the House. No other measures on the H ouse ecalemndlarI VO' werelconidered. The surprise was that neither the I louse nor the Senate had any new( blills introduced. Generally members come to Colunmbin pirimed for the in troduet ion of some pet scheme of gov-( ernment andl these are priesentedl at the initial session but not so this yeair. Announces Appointments.

Leee, who lives near Alcolu is busy these days pulling stumps. After the stumps are pulled they are cut .p and make the best kind of wood. P'his not only furnishes at cheap source f fuel but it enhances the value of 4r. Lee's farm and enables him to raise larger crops at less expense of ine and labor. Sometimes working roul stumps is pretty hard on ones religion, so you had better (o as IIr. hee is doing and get a profit in three >r four different ways from one opt .ration. -Fence Your Farms 'r. II. McFaddin of Gables is putting .11, a wire fence around his farm. It ertainly looks good to see a neoW vell-built fence around a man's fa61 ind it advertises to all who pass that .he nmn who lives on that fenced farm raises crops for his own stock and not 'or everyone else in the neighborhood. A< fence is also a safeguard against inimal diseases, for it partially iso ates and prevents diseased stock which runs at large from comning in ontact with his own stock. Do like 1r. McFaddin fence your farm and <cep your stock at home. --Fence Your Farms Quite a number of farmers around New Zion and Turbeville are getting rid of their stumps by hrning and dulling.

Furse near Summer on ln';t Thursday he was having his >ld tobacco field plowed and the plow vas turning up hundreds of tobacco verms which were passing the winter n the ground. The next cold snap hat comes along will kill all those to 'acco worns that were plowed up, a hing which will help to control to cieco wormst; this coinig season. When the moth of a tobacco worm is latched out it will fiv to the nearest ohacen field it can find. If you plant oha~co this year near where you :tanted last year and your tobacco vas enten on by worms last year you an expect the samte trouble this year. rrv and plow as many old tobacco iel!s ats possible before all the cold ,veather is over.

[FFORT TO S[AT SOCIAISTS IN NEW YORK FAILS Motion That Law Makers lteconsider Action on Ouster Resolution Defeated, 33 to 71. S'ONSORED BY DIEMOCRAT Declares lie Condemns Socialist l'rin ciples. But Wants Full hearing Concerning Charges. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 12.----An attempt: to reinstate the fie suspended Social ist members of the Asenbly faile l t.onight. Assemblyman Charles D. Dan ohue, of New York. the Democratic' leader, moved Ieconsk'(leration of the V )te by which the sus pendin g re:ola t ion was adopted, but the motion war lost, 33 to 71. r 1r. Donohue first introduced a re.:o ition calling upon the Assebliy to allow the Socialists to resume tieir i- ats until such time as that y mi ;iht by a proper vote decide the lhat ges cont:tined in the preamble of the Adler resolution by which tli .ey we:e barred from further procee-ne ha: Wednesday. Condemns P~rinciples. "The inference has gone abroad throughout the entire natio," Mr. Ih)onohne :;aid, that the men, who have been indlicted by a resolution present ed by tlhe n:ai ority leader, have been convicted before they have had :n op portunity to be heard. Their constit l(nci es :)e deprived of reprseentation here and I believe they ought to be rep resenltedI. "I conndemn Socialist principles and" propaga:nda. We of the city of New York know how insidious and invid ionus it is, but if a mistake has been made in denying these men seats in this body every member ought to be enfougl of a man to stand up and say so. When the member;s of my party reached Albany this evening they thought the only safe, sane and hon or:ble thing to do was to admit that they h.el been hasty in denvin live duly accredited memnberc seats in this body." Movement Blocked With the exception of eleven New York city lRepublicans those support ing the Donohue lotion were )eno er'ats. Assemblyman llain, Democrat, of New York, and McKee. Democrat, of the Bronx, intrsoluieed resolutions de signedl to make the Assembly instead of the .indiciary committee the court to hear the cases of the auspended Socialists. Consideration of both res olutions was deferred until tonor row. In the upper house Senator .Julius Miller, Democrat of New York, had prepired a re:olution to put the Sen ate on record as declai ring that, in its judgment, the Assembly reconsider its action of last week. Majority Leader Walters, however, like I Seiator Miller's ph n by moving an adjourni nent before the order of motions and resolutions was reacth ed.
