It is against the law in ,South Carolina to operate these machines. The 1 penal statutes provide punishment by ' ? fine of not more than Ave hundred [j1 dollars or imprison mem upon the | j public works of the county or in theiu State penitentiary fur not more than In one year, or both fine and imprison-1 merit in the discretion of the Court./11' It also provides for the confiscation/ar and destruction of the machines ami/ed the conAacatiou of any moneys that/ho may be found therein. C? if it were not very wrong to own, I operate and distribute these slot ma- fot chine.s the puninhment would not have vai been made so severe.

In a few days the 1P85 General tJ Assembly of South Carolina will l>e t't in session. A few days thereafter Governor-elect Olin D. Johnston will (take over the reins of government from our present Governor I. C. Blackwood. Mr. Johnston received the decisive j, endorsement at the hands of the t.l voters of South Carolina, and lie will v go into office with the confidence and good wishes of most of them. He h made, as politicians always do, many a promises upon the atump, some of \i them, we are afraid, he may not be j, abie to keep. He will have great op- ,j port unties and grave responsibilities. v W do not believe that he can or h should at this time give to the auto- . mobile owners of South Carolina three dollar license plates. We ! ?- lieve that the legislature acted wise- . ly in cutting the price of these plates s in half, but for the good of the .relit , o! Sou h Carolina, which is now up- \ on a sound basis, we do not believe it | would be wise to further reduce the price of these tags. ^ There are other promises Mr. John- , nia.ie that we believe ho will find ( somewhat hard to keep. We hope that f 111 going into office he will realize that. Live re are throe separaie an.i dis- 1 met branches of our government; namely, the Executive, the l.egisla- " tive and the Judicial, and that 'here should 1h- no unnecessary 'tanvixuing by the Executive branch of our government with the other two. This is a rock ujxin which many ambitious governors have broken their heads. There are some very capable and intelligent men in our General Assembly. We hope aivd believe that Governor Johnston will take them into his confidence, consult with them, and that they will work together.

CONGRESS HAS CONVENED The United States Senate and the itional House of Representatives nvened with the usual ceremonies in ashington on yesterday.

C. ,\n historical sidelight on the I)eK?lb Monument in this citv lma recently been discovered in Washington, I) C., in ttJi old manuscript journal, written over a hundred years ago by Robert Mills, architect of the Monument to I>eKalb. Robert Mills, the ftrat native American architect, was bom. in Gnarleston, S. C., August 12, 1781, and was a lineal descendant of Landgrave Thomas Smith, first colonial governor of the province of South Carolina in 10D0. Mr. Tfills was architect of the national Washington Monument, the Baltimore Waenington Monument, and the iBunker Hill Monument in Boston, as well as many public buildings throughout the nation, including the United States Treasury, the old Patent Office and the iGeneral Post Office in Washington, D. C. He was appointed Government Architect by President Jackson in 183B. As protege of Thomas Jefferson, Mr. Mills received his early foundation in architectural training from James Iloban, architect of the President's House, and later from the celebrated Knglish- architect, 'Henry Benjo m in Latrobe. His work in his native state consisted: largely in internal improvements, such as the design of the plans for the first railroad in Soutn Carolina, and for numerous early canals. The Legislature- of South Carolina appointed him State Engineer and Architect in 1820. In 1824, he was on his way to Baltimore to prepare the statue of Washington to surmount the Monument in that city, and incidentally to tender a letter of invitation, on behalf of the city of Columbia, to General Iafayette, the distinguished visitor to the United States, to come to South .Carolina before his return to France. I His journal records that on his way to Baltimore, Mr. Mills passed through Camden, where he was invited by the citizens of that city to lay the corner stone of the DeKalb Monument. The architect furnishes the lollowing anecdote of the occasion: "An incident occurred during this ceremony that may be here mentioned. While the procession from the original sepulchte of DeKalb was on its way with his remains, at midday a brilliant star appeared in the (zenith. It shone during the whole time .of the |>erformance of the cerei monies of the occasion. In the days (when superstition ami ignorance were (handmaid to poor, ignorant humanity, this appearenie of a star on such an |occasion would be regarded as a glor1 ious testimonial of the merits?nay [the deification?of the departed hero!" i Robert Mills died March 1855, after a life of distinguished service to his country, and deeply mourned by all who knew hinr or his work, but today he lies almost unknown in an unmarked grave, No. Ill, in the Congressional Cemetery, Washington, 1).
