about 5 o’clock witnessed a very
daring act of one of Florence's
boys. The performance of a ride
up the coal chute track and then
returning down the inclined track
on a bicycle might seem fool

to do or die.
The track leading to the coal
chute, as every body who has seen
it knows, is ou the order of a tres
tle with the possible exception
that there is not a sign (fa plank
between the rails aud the cross
ties. This is pretty rough riding

makes it so much harder aud more
risky and dangerous.

Unde Nod, the Fiddle *■<! the
Dance.
During the Methodist confer
ence which was held iu our city,
aud which all of Florence enjoyed,
here were some good things said,
lev. A. Coke Smith in his ad
dress at the Baptist church told
an anecdote of a good old Episco-
jal lady who chided him upon one
occasion as being a seceder and
legged him to briug the Method
ist church back to the fold.
Ho replied that it would never
do, as the Methodist 70,000 strong
would control and turn out the
5,000 or 5,000 Episcopalians for
worldliness, and she would have
no church.
An Episcopalian who heard the
remark said he would have liked
to answer it by the anecdote told
him by Hon. Bob Aldrich to the
effect that there was a party to be
given in his neighborhood, aud
the gentleman of the house met
an old negro by the name of Ned,
and the following converMatiou
ensued:
“Uncle Ned, I am going to have
a dance at my house and I want
you to come with your fiddle and
play fnr us, and bring the other
boys with the banjo and flute and
we will all have a good time.”
Uncle X* d—“Can’t do it Boss
can’t play for dance; Methodist
church don’t allow it; turn me
out.”
“Why uncle Ned, you don’t
mean to say they will turn you
out for playing the fiddle.”
Uncle Ned—"Yes Boss most par
ticular about fiddle and dunce.”
“Well, Uncle Ned, what about
lying.and stealing?”
Uncle Ned—“01 go *.iy Boss
can’t exp<ct to break up de whole
church.”

Dear dir: Judge Bassdtt of this

the newspaper item and give me
such information in regard to

use, as would be of interest to me.

A fact often overlooked, or not, al

eminent bill an^l the senate a
liquor and liquor measures con
sumed practically the entire atten
tion of the house (during the past
week. The supply and legislative
appropriation bifjs were also dis
posed flff.
The house stuck to its determi
nation to let everything relating
to the liquor question severely
alone. ^ It declined to have any
thing to do with any matter bear
ing upon the general subject of
liquor, save the Verner bill ex
empting the counties of Pickens,
Oconee and York from the pro
visions of the dispensary act.
That was a surprise, aud a big
fight was made against it.
The house worked hard during
the week, and the all-day sessions
were exhausting to the members
and employes. None of them will
be very sorry when it is all over
and they can go home.
The Senate.
The last week of the work of the
general assembly sees the work of
the senate well in hand. To such
an extent is this true that there
can be little doubt of the upper
house being ready for final ad
journment ou Wednesday. The
supply and appropriation bills
have each reached their final read
ing in the senate and have been
returned to the house for action
on the amendments proposed. In
the case of the appropriation bill
a committee of conference has al
ready been appointed to reach an
agreement on the amendments iu
which the house refused concur
rence. The legislative appropria
tion bill has beeu reported in the
senate and will receive its last
reading Tuesday.— The Btate,
