The order of leaving, to the strains of Tannhauser, was Mr. and Mrs. Cauthen, > Miss Cauthen and Mr. Copeland, Miss 8imms and Mr. Dowling, Messrs. Wm. and Wallace Canthen. The bridal party went immediately to * Rice's hotel where a delightful reception was tendered them by Mr. and Mrs. Langdon Cheves Rice, uncle and aunt of the bride. The parlors were tastefully decorated in smilax and ivy. i Those assisting the bridal couple to receive were: 3Ir. and -Mrs. L. C. Rice, Mrs. Julia 8. Payne and Miss Cauthen. Later in the evening the guests repaired to the dining room, where delicious refreshments were served, consisting of % salads, sandwiches, turkey, ham, cake, gelatine with whipped cream, fruits and * * coffee.

WHEN YOU HAVE A COLD. The first action when you have a cold should be to relieve the lungs. This is best accomplished by the use of Chamberlain's ?nni?h remedv. This remedy liquefies the tough mucus and causes its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, produces a free expectoration, and opens the secretions, A cure soon follows. This remedy will cure a cold in less time than any other treatment and leaves the system in a natural and healthy condition. It counteracts any tendency towards pneumonia.

Finally the barber lifted ? the little girl down from the chair and pronounced his work done. "But I want to see it again," said Josephine. The barber lifted her up and let hex look in the glass. She wagged her head vigorously iirom side to side and forward aiia backward. "Oh-h!" she wailed. "Why, what's the matter?" asked the barber, while the father jumped up nervously.

WHAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS DONE AND IS LIKELY TO DO. 3 / s Five Prominent Events in the Work of House 1 Last Week?A Bill to Ferret Out Prop? erty Not Returned for Taxation. j Columbia, January 31.?The general . assembly has its work pretty well mapped out, and from this lime on the progress f of work ought to be steady and smooth, i The house has been working steadily, e and, while at the end of the session, there i may not be very much to show, in the t way of new statutes, there will have been t considerable work accomplished. It is as ? Tiai?/1o? fn till hillo than tn Ipt. J UOlU, VJ iioiuvi, iv aui 3 them run smoothly along and find place on the statute books. 3 The past week it is to be distinguished - by fire things in the house: a The defeat of all measures looking to 0 an increase in the number of judicial cire cuits. a The final passage of the joint resolution 1 looking to a constitutional amendment, s providing for biennial sessions of the 3 general assembly. a Providing 124 scholarships at Clemson i College, at $100 each. The encouragement of building and e loan associations and the exemption of 3 their stock for taxation. The introduction of the series of bills prepared by and introduced under the s direction of the tax commission. TAXATION OF CORPORATIONS. The most important matter to be con* sidered at this session is that of increased " taxation. The tax commission seems to be having things pretty much its own s way thus far. For instance, when the ' inheritance tax bill was presented it was e ordered printed without reference?a most * unusual proceeding for so important a e measure. But the house seems to have ' 1 - *a fVia Aarumifl. 1611 IU1B UlttitCi bU biiC " sion. As has already been said there will 1 not be and has not been any fight on the a license or excise tax measure by the cory porations that are mostly affected. The great trouble about the whole thing is that it is to go out that South Carolina is r imposing extra and additional taxes on corporations and public utilities. It may be true that the money is needed. It may be that this is the best way to raise the t. tax, but the fact remains that corporate 1 interests are being largely singled out for the additional tax. These sections s from the most important of the commist sion's bills show what is to be done: e Section 4. Every corporation organized under the laws of this State to do business for profit other than railroad companies, express companies, street; railway e companies, navigation companies, water-' a works companies, power compar.ies, light companies, telephone companies, parlor, 8 dining and sleeping car compan ies, shall, - upon the filing of the report; required of ii them in Section 1, pay to the Secretary of j State on or before the 1st day of April in each year an annual lioense fee of one-, half of one mill upon each dollar subd scribed to the capital stock of said Corel poration, said license fee not to be less than ten dollars in any case. 8ection 5. Upon the filing of the report ' required of foreign corporations in 8ec8 tion 2, the Secretary of State shall from f. the facts thus reported, and any other facts coming to his knowledge, determine the value of the property of such corpor6 ation used within this State by them in the conduct of their business, and shall charge and collect from such company, in addition to the initial fees provided for in i- the Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1902 and Acts amendatory thereto, an annual f license fee of one half of one mill upon each dollar of the value of the property y of each corporation used within this State a in the conduct of its business. 8ection 10. Thas the said State board of 0 assessors shall, after ascertaining the e gross receipts for business done in South Carolina or the gross earnings from its operation within South Carolina of any railroad company, express company, street railway company, navigation come pany, water-works company, power com? pany, light company, telephone company . telegraph company, parlor, dining and 1 sleeping car company, notify the secretary of State of the amount thereof on or f before the 1st day of May of each year, a and the Secretary of State shall there? upon proceed to charge and collect from 3 such company, and such company shall . pay to the said Secretary of State an an* nual license fee of three mills on the 1 cross income of such company for busi ness done within South Carolina for the 1 preceding fiscal year, which license fee shall be paid by such corporation on or ? before the 1st day of June in every year. It may be a small matter, but it is the policy that may help to kill the "goose that is laying the golden egg." Other States may have such laws, but generally they are such States as are filled with > industries. Alabama and other States 8 that are forging ahead are leaving corporate investments alone, and require of " them only their full and equal snare of h taxation. ? A straight increase of levy would reach '* the corporations. J THE INCOME TAX BILL. JJ The income tax bill reported by the tax d commission proposes a straight tax upon L* all gToss incomes of more than $1,000. If L it meets with no more success than the present statute, which imposes a tax on ? to it will simnlv be ' muuuicd uiw ^jwvj ??? ? ??__ _ 3- piling up laws on the books that go un7 heeded and make others on the books the a less observed. The inheritance tax bill, which has been offered, is largely patterned after the statute of Minnesota. * TO FIND TAXABLE PROPERTY. I- A very good bill from the tax commise sion, and which ought to a?3complislf a > great deal of good if pushed as intended, reads as follows: Section 1. That each chairman of the > boards of assessors of the cities, towns r and townships of the State shall, under 5- the direction and supervision of the counl ty auditor, canvass the territory within which his board is charged with the assessment of property for taxation, immediately after the expiration of time lima ited for returning property for taxation, * J for the purpose 01 aiscovenug ?uu ua>y ing placed upon the tax books all taxa able property of every description, which il has not been returned to the county audif tor, and shall make a report of all such e property to the county auditor. The said chairman shall receive from the county r. a per diem of dollars for each day while actually engaged in making canvass, for not more than five days in any one year. MR. RAYSOR's BANK TAX BILL. In addition to these plans of the tax commission, Senator Raysor offers a bill by which all banks and banking institutions are to be placed under the State board of equalization and the figures for taxation ar6 to be fixed by the central board, instead of by district county boards. The next step towards centralizing the tax authority is to place the assessment of railroad property under this general State board?one member from each county. Another means of raising revenue for the State is to divide the annual license fee of 2i per cent on insurance premiums between the county where the premiums are paid and the State. This would give li per cent to the State; 1? per cent to the county, and nothing to the cities or towns on insurance premiums collected. , tb:e new circuits bill. All along it has been stated that the passage of the new circuit bill depended on the unity of the lawyers in the house. The pending bills could have won by three or four votes, and in each instance that many lawyers voted against the measures, the principle of which?more circuits? they had advocated. There is now no hope of the establishment of new circuits at- this session. Next year the lawyers ought first to agree to get a bill through establishing two new circuits, and in that particular 'Dill say absolutely nothing about the geography of the two new circuits. After the bill has passed, if the circuits are needed, then and not until then let the bills corae in as to how the circuits should be arranged. If the members can curb their ambition in geography and first create by act the two new circuits; then they will have to agree upon the make-up of the circuits, and the act creating the qjcuits will in no wise be jeopardized by those who cannot be exactly suited in the arrangement of circuits. the 8had bill. In the attention that is being paid to other mat ters it has almost been forgotten that an act is now ready to be ratified which makes it a crime to ship shad outside of the State. The bill had passed the house last year, and the best that the opponents of the bill could do was to get an amendment; providing that the law should not go into effect until February 20,1904. This will give those engaged in the industry a good portion of the present season in which to make their shipments. BIENNIAL SE88I03T8. It seems almost beyond realization to say that the biennial session joint resolution has gone through the entire legislative routine. It had a rough time, but finallygot through "by the skin of its teevh." It required 8# votes to pass the resolution, ana it received exactly that number on the final ballot.?August Kohn, in News and Courier.

"Gabriel, is that on the records?" "Yes, 8t. Peter; it's marked down to his cr<jdit." "What else have you done?" "Well, I crossed the Brooklyn bridge the other night and met a newspaper boy half frozen to death and gave him I cent." "Gabriel, is that on the records?" "Yes, St. Peter." "What else have you done?" "Well, I can't recollect anything else just now." "Gabriel, what do you think we ought to do with this fellow?" "Oh, give him back his three cents and tell him to go to hell!" ESCAPED AN AWFUL FATE.
