Columbia. l4'eb. 10.?Since my
nst letter, the general assembly
Imfc settled down It) work in dead
earnest, antl a g ea deal of btisibas
been disposer! of. The session
is Hearing its close, much to the
delight of its home-loving members.
A vast amount of work,
however, js yet to be done, and
many bills will have to go over to
the next session.
The Marshall child labor bill, I
wliirh has occupied (he attention ]
of the house for the past week,
passed on Friday hy a majority of
b. and only awaits the signature !
?>f the governor to heroine law.
Tlie York delegation voted solidly
for the hill.
The resolution which pnased the !
senate extending the time for the
payment of taxra until April 1st,
without penalty, wuh defeated in
the house by a large majority, the
York delegation voting against
the extension.
Mr. Morgan's road bill pu'ting:
the commutation tax at not under i
one dollar and not over three dollars.
or not under two days or not
over six days labor on the public
highways lind leaving it to the
hoard of county commissioners to i
fix, was substituted for Mr. Kaile's '
road bill which pub the commutation
tax at $3. This is what the
York delegating' ask?-d for and
they feel that they have won a
victory.
Mr. Beamgnard's bill to restore
the old order of collecting taxes i
was rejected. A
resolution submitting to the
people as to whether or not they
want biennial sessions of the legislature
passed the senate, and a
similar resolution bv Mr. lieHin
f;uHid lius been offered in the
louse, and the indications are that
it will pass. Mr. Haile, by request,
has introduced a bill to allow
industrial ocminuuitieH of f>0
inhabitants a special constable.
This bill, if passed, will relieve
somewhat the situation at the Catawba
Power Company's dam,
where everything "damnable" runs
riot.
The excitement incident to the
terrible tragedy which o< curred 011
January 16th in front of the capitol
and under the shadow of the
beautiful monument erected to our
Confederate dead, by which Edi- J
tor Gonzales met his death at the |
hands of Col James il. Tillman, |
has about subsided. Col. Tidmati
is still in Hichlaml county jail,
but will probably be released on
buil in a few days. Catawba.
No Tax-Paying Extension.
Til the Senate Wednesday the
ITydriek resolution to extend the!
time of paying taxes until march
Slat was adopted after a long de- |
b de by a vote cf 24 to 8. Senators
Briee, Herndon, Hough and Blake
argue/1 against the hill. Senators
Hydrick, Mower, (t. W. Hagsdale
and Sheppard spoke in favor of it.
They held that the law is impracticable
for auditors and treasureis
?_ -? - l - a ? - ? '
iu cniry ouij uesiues iney poinied
out tliht the general law provided
for a cumulative penalty, while the
supply hill made a Hat penalty of
ten per cent. There wan some
doubt, it was held, which of these
penalties applied, and since it was
a legislative mistake it should he
temedied. Senator Sheppard said
he could see no harm to result, ami
besides there were were a great
many people who had actually
been unable to pay their taxes.
Mr. Brice tried to get in an amend
ment making the lime March lnt
instead of .'HhI, hut but the chorus
of nos whs so strong that no count
was demanded.
In the house the extension hill
was killed after a long debate, thus
nullifying the action of the senate
and thus finally disposing of this
question for the present.
In noting the recent death of
M'tj. A. II. While, of Hock Hill,
the Winnsborough News and Herald
says; ' Maj. Wh ile was a promiuent
eitU"i?, having a national
reputation for his erecting u monument
at Fort Mill to the memory
of faithful slaves." Our esteemed
contemporary is mistaken in regard
to the monument referred to. That
was erected by Cnpt. Hain't. White,
of Fort Mill, the father of Mr.,
Leroy Springs, of this place.?

Sr-ith Carolina's Struggle In 1S76.
We do not deny that there in a
! deploiable lack of law and ordei !
and the requirements of eivilizat ion !
in Home parts of the South; hut ,
I there are others. We rend in the'
; newspapers of members of the j
Colorado legislature hitt ing at their ,
places with hiioe revolvers decorating
their desks nnd surrounded by i
miards prepared to resist hy vio- !
lenc.* and bio alshed t he attempts of
a cirtaui faction of Republic.lis
claiming to be uietnbersof I tie same !
body to enter the halls.
The situation is curiously like
that in South Carolina in lMTti
Democrats and Republicans each ,
claimed to have a majority of the ,
house and each organized under its j
own speaker. On a certain day the
I Democratic members inarched to
J the state house, headed by Col. J. L. j
! Orr. now the'respected and staid
president of one of the largest cot- j
ton mills in the state, who knocked
aside the door keeper and led
his cohorts in. The rival bodiesoc- j
copied the small hall, the speakers !
silting side by side, two ni^litsand I
three (lays, as we recollect.
The United Slates troops were a?
the front door, and while they
would not eject the Democratic
claimants they refused toyive per- j
mission for any of them to no out
and return. Consequently, these
legislators were kept locked in the I
chamber for the time indicated,
alonir with t heir Republican opponents,
everybody armed to the!
teeth, and expecting trouble to!
break loose each minute. A member j
from each house addressing and
recognized by his own speaker and
speakiuo at the top of hi* Voice was
a common incident of this nerve- 1
racking period.
Reporters and others who had
the rinht to no in and out of the j
chamber freely smnnuled the Win
Chester lilies, the barrels thrust ,
down their trousers' lens ?"d the i
butts under their waistcoats, for 1
the Democrats, each of whom had
an average of three revolvers, he- j
sides the *fiui wrapped in his
blanket or overcoat, and probably
the republicans were equaly well ;
provided.
What a dramatic moment it was
for the 70-odd wearv and red-eved
; while men who had been expecting
during ail the hoars id' a long night
to engage at any inotnent in a li_:ht
in a locked hall with their Republican
and negro opponent 8 rein forced
by hundreds of deputy sergeants at
arms, when the murky and chilly
dawn of the December morning
was suddenly cut by the sharp,
familiar rebel yell.
Roth factions adjourned to the
windows and looked out on a line
?r i <i
yj i i nun in, 111 ft i ly ui i iit'in v^uu
federate veterans, double quicking
in swift cadence up the steep hill
from the special train that had
brought them in. Those were the
advance guard of 7,000 of the same
kind who arrived before noon?
clattering in on horseback at full
speed, singly and by squads, tumbling
hurriedly from regular and
special trains, eager to tight anybody
for Wade Hampton and white
rule.
But that was twenty-six years
ago, and the tight was for a principle,
and involved the very life of
the State. This affair in Colorado
is a mere squabble over a I'nited
States senatorship, probably with a
good deal of boodle involved in it.
So far as morality and respectability
and civilization of the trans
actions are concerned, South
Carolina appears to have very
much the better of it.?A. B. Wil- j

A Slight Calldown.
The Wnxhaw Enterprise of last
week, after noting our litile item ;
about the prediction of a snow in j
I winter for every fog in AugiiHt.i
says that the editor of that paper J
has been informed by one of his
most responsible citizens that there
were no fogs at all in August. ;
The Times would not have the
Enterprise editor believe tliat the
gentleman we referred to as having
made tiie prediction had any :
reference whatever as to what was
doing in the fog line at WhxIihw

Mrs Sutton Gets Judgement.
Tlit* cast* of Mis .las. H. Sutton
against the ('ntnwlm Power Conn
puny for $10,000 damages 1?? Inntl
came up for trial in tin* court of
common pleas at Yorkvilie on
I'licstlay of last wet k. The jury
on Friday brought in a vertlict ft?r
the plaintitr in the sum of $f?0O,
whereupon I he defendant company
served no. ice of an app' al.
The case was commenced on
Thursday afternoon, on the following
complain :
That on and before the 18th day
of A pi iI, IfK)l, the defendant herein
be^aii the construction of a dam
from the east, hank of Catawba
river, about f ree hundred yards
above plaintiff's lands, for tlie purpose
of impending and storing the
watt rs of said river, and also on the
west side of said river, at a point
a short distance below where the
unfinished dam projected into the
the same, had built of stone and
timber an extensive structure
known as a cotfer bain, of a height
of about thirty feet, which extend-,
eel from the west bank of said river
to and beyond the middle thereof
one hundred and fifty feet.
That owing to the wanton and
negligent manner ill which said
colter dam was eonsrueled, and
without due regard to the rights
of plaintiff heieiu, the flood waters
of said Catawba river were on or
about thesaid 18lh day of April,
1901, and days following, thereby
diver ed from their proper channel
by the obstructions aforesaid, ami
were turned with great force and
in great volume upon and neross
the land of plaintiff. tearing away
protective embankments tearing
up and washing oil' the soil and
despo-itin x s ind and ot her worthless
substances thereon, and rendering
a 1 irge part of the same unlit
for eultivati >u and of no value
whatever, and plailit itf alleged t hat
she sustained injury and damage
to the v tine of her sn'd laud, and
the income and profits aeeurnig
therefrom by reason of the negligent
and improper construction of
the said dam and cotfer (lain, in
disregard of her rights and of
plaintiff's duty, to the amount of
$10,000.

Gloomy for Liquor Men.
The prospects of the liquor dealers
in North Carolina are gloomy,
uccordimj to the Greensboro Telegram.
There never was such n
wave of opposition to the tratKc as
iH coining up from every quarter of
the state. The petition boxes of
the i*eneral assembly is full to
overflowing with petitions for leujislation
against the business. An<i
saloon leagues,some statewide in
their scope and others township
wide, are at work with a decree of
zeal that is obliged to brim* results.
Newspapers, which have held aloof
from the controversy heretofore,
have aliened themselves on the
side of r-strict ion if not suppression.
The moral consience is
awakened as it never has been before.
There is surely uoinu: to be
some decided improvement of the
conditions under which strong
drink is manufactured ami sold
in North Carolina. There is room
for such improvement.

Terrell Wouldn't Visit Roosevelt.
Much comment was caused by
the fa lure of Governor Tearell, of
Georgia, while in Washincton a
few days a?jo, to call to pay his re
spects to the president of the
United States, bein^f the governor
of the largest state in the South.
The governor before leaving Atlanta
is quoted as having stated that
he would not have time to call at
the White Hons-', but lie had time
to go to tin? wardepartment. winch
is only a block from the executive
mansion, and also remained over
to attend the Gridiron Club dinner.
It is whispered thai the real reason
of the governor's refusal to go
to the White House was to show
his disapproval of the president's
alleged fondness to entertain
negroes and also to show his disapproval,
and the disapproval by the
people of the state of Georgi ? oi
the president's general southern
policy respecting negro appointments
to local positions.
