••Departed ttii* Dire.”
It was on the morning of Jan.
6 that our hearts were saddened,
when the news reached us that
the ‘ Death Angel” had visited the
home of Dr. E. L. Brown, of Lat-
ta, S. C., and chosen for its victim
Miss Lula, his beloved sister. Her
death has cast a gloom over tbe
entire community in which she
lived, and many friends will hold
her in fond rememberauce.
She joined the Baptist chu-ch
in early life, acd her , intentions,
we feel assured, were only to do
her master’s bidding- ’’While oar
“hearts” are stricken with grief,
we must look to Him who doeth
all things well and say, “His will-
must be done.” Not only as a
\
frieud did we love her, but as a
sister. Many days we have spent
together, around the family fire
side. She was always pleasant
and cheerful. She no doubt had
her troubles, but they were best
known to her and her maker. It
surelyjwas a happy re-onion when
! she joined the loved ones gone be
fore. Now she is with them never
to part again. It is bard to give
her up, but what is our loss, we
trust, is her eternal gain. She is
gone, but not forever. When we
are called away “one by one” from
this world let us be prepared to
meet her in that land where part
ing is no more.
A Friend.
“A Pleasant Eutertatmuent.”
The closing exercises of Miss E.
H. Smith’s school at Fneudfield
took place on the evening of Feb. 2,
1897, which were a perfect success,
consisting of recitations, songs,
tableaux, dialogues, duets and
drills. The music was superb,
furnished by tbe Scranton harpers.
The entertainment w^s largely at
tended and the writer feels safe in
saying that all present went away
happy after being so pleasantly
entertained. Miss Smith is one
of Georgetown’s most charming
young ladies, and we regret to see
her leave our community, though
^ with her go the good wishes of a
host of friends left behind.

The State Colleges Stand—Supply
Hill Keeelved-Anti-Cigarette
bill Killed lu the Senate.
Soon after the house met Mon
day morning it tackled the appro
priation bill. Tue quHStion of
free tuition in the South Carolina
was first taken up and fully dis
cussed. Mr. Patton off red an
amendment to the section relating
to the South Carolina college pro
viding that “as many student*
frem each county who may be un
able to pay tuition, as may be
equal to the number of represen
tatives in both branches of the
general assembly as such county
may be entitled t<>,” shall be re
lieved of tuition fees;” such stu
dents to be selected from deserv
ing youths of either sex by the
said representatives and senators.”
This amendment was adopted by
a vote of 67 to 36, Messrs. Hum
phrey, Ildertou and McWhite vot
ing in favor thereof.
The appropriations for Win-
throp and Citadel remain at $30,-
000 and $20,000 respectively.
The bill to enable the attorney
general to test the right of the
Cheraw and Darlington railroad
to an exemption and by due action
to collect back taxes was ordered
to a third rtading.
The supply bill was received and
made the special order for to-day.
Tbe State levy is put at five mills,
exclusive of the public school tax,
and the levy ordinary for Florence
county is 3£ mills.
The committee on incorpora
tions reported a bill prohibiting
the redaction of wages of opera
tives. It provides that operatives
shall be paid for the actual num
ber of hours engaged during each
day, nor shall any reduction be
made for any cause whatever.
Any person violating any provis
ion of the section shall be fined in
each case not less than $50. Elev
en hoars shall constitute a day’s
work or 60 hours a week’s work.
No reduction shall be made for
any cause whatsoever, except in
the pay of engineers, foremen,
watchmen, merchants, teamsters,
yard employees and clerical force:
Provided, That nothing herein
contained shall be construed to
prevent any employees in the cot
ton and woolen factories from en
gaging to work such time in addi
tion, not to succeed 70 hours per
annum, as may be necessary to
make up lost time caused by ac
cident or unavoidable circum
stances. The word manufacturing
establishments means any build
ing in which labor is employed to
fabricate or produce yarns, cloth,
hosiery and other merchandise.
All contracts made contrary to
the provisions of this act shall be
null and void.
At this juncture the appropria
tion bill was taken up again. Tbe
deaf, dumb and blind institute gels
$18,000, and $7,500 was ap
propriated to erect a new building
for colored male insane. The at
torney general’s litigation fund
was cut from $2,500 to $2,000, and
the State fair gets $2,400, provided
it be returned if not needed.
Salary of phosphate commis
sioner was cut from $1,500 to $1,-
2Q0, and tbe assistant attorney
general’s salary remains the same.
The entire bill was then ordered
to a third reading with notice of
amendments.
In tbe Senate.
The senate killed the anti-cigar
ette bill and the bill to repeal the
anti-free pass act. Neither one,
however, was defeated without a
vast deal of discussion, and then it
was but by a single vote that the
latter measure was killed.
Th< houfe bill to requir rail
road opipanies to stop passenger
trains a certain stations passed a
third reading, amended by Mr.
Ragsdale so as to provide that on
lines *here vestibule trains are op
erated without stopping a local
mixer!train shall also be run each
way Ltwecn the hours of 7 a 111.
and 7,1. in., as far as practicable.
