The legislature has done practically aothing but kill bills. True some bad * ones were killed, but the best measures introduced met a like fate. * * * * We notice that S. J. Simpson, Esq., of 8partanburg, will be a candidate for Federal Judge in case the new district is created for the upper part of the State. Mr. Simpson is an able lawyer, and would fill the position acceptably. &VT * # In the spring, just about the time people are whitewashing fences, barns, etc., the committee appointed by the legislature to investigate the dispensary will meet and administer a nice coat of whitewash to that institution. Just wait and see if we are not right in this assertion. * * The legislature killed the compulsory education law, the dispensary bill, and others of some importance. However, we consider the two mentioned to be the most important. Is it any wonder that the general assembly is severely criticised Bwhen such measures as these are defeated? - **# We do not always agree with the editorial utterances of our friend, General Bobert R. Hemphill, of the Abbeville Medium, but we always read his paper with much enjoyment. His legislative letters have been a source of genuine V pleasure to us, but he's way off on his iews about compulsory education. -t * The people of McCormick are naturally f sore, over the defeat of their new county project, and of course we sympathize with them. However, the territory they proposed to cut off is not in proper shape lor a symmetrical county, and they will Always fail unless they change the lines. We believe in small counties, but they should be in proper shape and the lines be run with due regard for the old :: . counties. - ? * Senator Geo. H. Bates, of Barnwell, resigned as school trustee before he was sworn in as Senator. Would that every - man in public life had as high conception .. ' of the doty of a public official, which is to obey the law. The constitution says that so person shall hold two offices of either honor or profit, and yet it is being violated all over the State and by men in the V . highest public positions. Senator Tillman is a shining example of this double office holding, but whoever heard of his vofnatttcr unv nfflee he COttld net? We are pleased that the legislature has fig : refused to abolish the department of immigration and labor, presided over by Mr. E. J. Watson, commissioner. Frankly, we have not seen any v special results of the work, but the department has only been organized one year, and no man conld do much in that time, to say nothing of having such a limited appropriation at his disposal. It will take time for the work to bring results, but we believe they will come. At any rate it was wise action to continue the department until it has had a fair show. * * The editors of the Bam well Sentinel are trying to arouse a spirit of enterprise among the business men of that town, and they ask some questions which can well be applied to many people in Bamberg, so we will borrow them for use here. What have you ever done foi Bamberg ? "What has Bamberg done foi you? What do you propose to do foi Bamberg? Some people make money out ' of the business which is brought here largely by the efforts and money ol other people yet they never contribute one cent to build up the town, have nc stock in any public enterprises, nor tak( any interest in the welfare of the town Is it not time that we were all getting together? There should be no outsiders in matters where the town's interest is concerned. Let us all work together and welcome every man who wants tc work with us and give him a front seal in our councils and representation and t Toice in the management of business nterp rises. I Horses! i Come Where Where the P ANK E | Secretary of State Jesse T. Gantt has published a reply to the report of the leg; islative committee which examined the I books of his office, but we do not see much r in his reply. He says he will resign if he! cannot prove to any unprejudiced book^ keeper that his office is all right. The best thing he can do is to resign anyway. * * * The Southern Home came to to us this . week as a monthly publication. It is now published in magazine form, which is more convenient for binding. The February issue is decidedly good, the best yet gotten out, and no South Carolina home i should be without the magazine. From a mechanical and literary standpoint it ranks with the best publications, and its editor has our most earnest wishes for success. Personal Mention. ?Mr. J. P.

"The cotton planters of the Southern States are warned against storing their cotton in warehouses which make a practice of lending them out to mills or to shorts, in order to enable them to fill their contracts. This convention is aware that there are many such warehouses guilty of this act of the basest treachery and breach of faith and that their action has much to do with the prevailing low price of cotton: and the Southern Cotton Association in convention assembled desires all planters to place themselves on guard against t such traitors within their midst." It was openly stated on the convention floor that cotton brokers and warehousemen in Augusta had actually loaned the people's cotton to the dealers to fill cons tracts, and that much of this cotton had . been already used up while its owners still thought it was in the warehouses. The chairman informed the convention ' that this had actually been done! So we ; who have cotton stored would do well to , find out where our cotton is. m xm TXT/-"* TTrro xo xx xviajtxix: Is it right that a property owner should ? lose $420 to let a dealer make 50 cents? ? A dealer makes 50 cents more on fourteen gallons of ready-for-use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than our agent does on eight galj Ions of L. & M. paint and six gallons of i linseed oil, which makes fourteen gallons j of the best paint in the world, at $1.20 per gallon; the property-owner loses just $4.20.
