F<>r these noh'e women, ami in the name of the great good that may result therefrom, we thank them. Our legislature, inter tw » week’* wprk, has accomplished little, i anything, in the way of genera legislati >n. True, a lumber o bills have been introduced, bu most of them relate to specia matters or ar** amendatory of ex isting laws. No bill with refer enoo to a change in the d'spensar^ law has as yet been olTe: d. and the opinion prevails that n radica change will be mad«. An effort has lieen im. i.* to fix • day for the dual adjournment of the legislarure, hut wi n ui sue cess. It seems unwise to fix a day •o early in the session. There is no telling what may come up Some matters require di enssion, others do not. Measures if im* partanoe should be so fully dis cussed that the most uninformed member can become thoroughly iuformed before he votes Little or much time may be consumed in debating questions yet to come up^ We do not know, nor does the legislature know, and for this one reason, disregarding all others, it would not be well to fix a day for final adjournment—not yst, at lepat. A crowded calendar near the end moans a rush, a rush means slipshod legislation, and •lipshod legislation means trouble thereafter. In matter^ >f such ■upreme importance it is wise to make haste slowly. To the members of the Florence Bar: Briefs and arguments for the Supreme Court are printed in the best of style at the Times-Messen- ger job office.

This was pron ptly denied by the health officials and others, but the precautions taken t‘> guard against the introduction of the plague from Bombay or Karachi to this port were redoubled. Under the circumstances it is not extraordinary that .he au thorities were greatly alarmed when the report was first epreau that a case of bubonic plague baa been discovered, but it was not until to-day that the general pub lic became frightened, it was an nounced that nine deaths bad oc curred on the same stfee* within a few days, and of course the plague was blamed, rightly or Wfougly, in every cse.
