Where Charity Begins.
The public spirited lady met a lit
tie boy on the street. Something
about his appearance halted her. She
stared at him in her near-sighted
way.
The Lady: Little boy, haven't you
y :r any home?
Iv The Little Boy: Oh, yes'mj I've
T' got a home.

"I'm afraid you do not know what
love really is. Do your parents look
after your moral welfare?"

"Are they bringing you up to be a
~v good and helpful citizen?"
"Yes'm."
"Will you ask your mother to
' come and hear me talk on 'When
Does a Mother's Duty to Her Child
Begin?' next Saturday afternoon, at
three o'clock, at Lyceum Hall?"
(Explosively): "What's the matter
with you, ma? Don't you know
I/-me? I'm your little boy!"
Mr. Hal Dick Shot in Back.
CherAw, Jan. 12.?Mr. Hal Dick,
>; of Columbia, representing the Roym
ster Guano company, was driving
? - from Chesterfield to Cheraw this
afternoon. Soon after leaving Chesterfield
a negro man shot at him
Kb with a small rifle. The bullet went
through the back of the buggy and
the top, which was down, and lodged
y in Mr. Dick's back, inflicting a very
slight flesh wound. Mr. Dick drove
back to Chesterfield and reported to
Sheriff Douglass, who put his bloodi
hounds on the trail and captured the
T negro. No one can account for the
negro's conduct, as he did not know
Mr. Dick or the negro driver and
o' neither had spoken to him.

Variable Indian Voter. i
"No party can safely count on the *
vote of the Indian. The smallest 1
thing can change his view," said (
John N. Florer, of Bartlesville, I. T., J
one of the oldest Indian traders in k
the Territory. (
"Some time ago the Osage Indians (
were called into council. The Demo- k
crats prepared a feast for them. *
They barbecued beef and fed the <
/ Indians well. And the Indians were \
'for' the Democrats. Then the Re- t
publicans invited them to a barbecue
and they were 'for' the Republicans. (
After it was all over the Indians met. 1
One of them addressed the meeting-, t
" 'Democrat, good, feed Indian,' s
he said. Republican, good, feed i
Indian full.'
"Then he concluded: 'Both good, 1
Indian go home.' c
"And they went. They don't care t
for any political party. You can't ?
tell whether their votes will tend to r
make the State Democratic or Re- ?
publican." ?
s
An exchange tells of a Kansas man who
is a doctor, a minister, an un- f
dertaker and a tombstone dealer all c
combined. f And nobody has ever t
hinted at his being a combination in
restraint of trade. s

SOME LEGISLATIVE DOINGS
WHAT THE LAW-iTAKERS ARE DOING
AND MAY DO.
A Resume of Last Week's Session of
the General Assembly?Important
Legislation Expected.
Special to The Herald.
Columbia, January 14.?The convening
of the the General Assembly
of the state has already begun to reopen
most of the questions which
were threshed out in the compaign
last summer. The opening of the
present session last Tuesday marked
possibly the most interesting and
aggressive fight for the speakership
of the House which has been seen at
the state house in a number of years.
There were three candidates for this
k ^vAonlf nf fiiA
Illgll I1UI1UX , (X11U U1U UJU itowiu vx uiv
election was in doubt until the last
man, practically, had voted. Mr. R.
S. Whaley, of Charleston, D. D. McColl,
of Bennettsville, and J. W.
Nash, of Spartanburg, were the men
who announced their candidacy, and
all day Monday there was a spirited
canvass for votes for the respective
aspirants. It was conceded that Mr.
Whaley had the best chances for
election, as the result of the election
verified, for he was elected on the
second ballot by a vote of 64 to 55,
Mr. Nash withdrawing. Mr. Whaley
makes an admirable presiding officer,
exercising dispatch and judgment.
His opponent for the honor, Mr. McColl?who,
by the way, made a most
excellent showing for it?is put down
as a conservative dispensary man
since his entrance into the House.
There are some who say that the dis
pensary was not an issue in the election
of the speaker, while others
maintain that it was dragged into it
at the last minute. But a view of
the vote shows that some strong
opponents of the dispensary voted
for Mr. McColl, while some advocates
of the state rum mill voted 'for Mr.
Whaley.
Hon. Frank B. Gary, of -Abbeville,
was elected chairman of the convention
of representatives elect, and
presided during the election of
speaker. Mr. Whaley at once devoted
himself to getting the House
into good working trim, and the business
of appointing the several committees
was postponed until the day
following. Hon. Tom C. Hamer was
elected clerk, with Jno. S. Withers
reading clerk, and R. N. Pratt chapIain,
none of these old officers having
opposition. Jno. S. Wilson was elected
sergeant at arms. The message
of Governor Heyward, who went out
of office Tuesday, has been read in
both branches of the General Assembly,
while the first message of Governor
Ansel is awaited with interest.
It is expected that he will recommend
a local option bill fashioned
after the Morgan bill of last year,
together with several other of the
measures he advocated on the stump,
rhe inauguration took place Tuesday,
when both houses will convene in the
House of Representatives, to listen
to the ex-augural and inaugural addresses
of Heyward and Ansel.
Several bills have already been introduced
in the House.
In the Senate Governor Sloan
presided at the opening, and the
work of election of a president pro
tern was immediately taken up after
the new senators had been sworn in.
rhe caucus of the hold over senators
lad the night before nominated Cole
L. Blease for the honor, and he was
lominated?several senators, however,
doing something without a precedent
in the senate, namely, not
noting at all when Blease's name
was called. Subsequent developnents
showed that there is a hitch
somewhere as eight of the senators
n the caucus say they voted for
jrov. Mauldin?and there were
>nly eight other votes to be cast.
Somewhat of a mild sensation devolved
when it began to be talked
>n the evidence of this vote that
Senator Blease must have voted
:or himself in the caucus. He
lenies it?and says things which
vould "pie" a printer's form to

;o it. The complexion of the senate

vote alone will tell. . On the first
lay of the session Senator Blease in;roduced
a resolution endorsing the
resident's action in the Brownsville
iffair, calling upon our United States
senators to back him up in it. By
some this is regarded as a slap at
fillman, but the senate passed'it by
11 to 16. The house later refused
jo pass it by two to one.
Many questions will come up this
session?and the hard working part
will not be reached until towards the
last. The dispensary, of course, will
be the one real great question, and
will take up the time. The ten hour
law, bucket shop bills?nine already
introduced in the House?compulsory
education, franchise law amendments,
pure food law?and the lien
law will again come up for repeal.
Then the railroads will have their
part of the attention. Already a
two and a half cent fare bill has been
introduced, and another matter of
great importance to readers of the
Herald will be the tax problem.
Comptroller Jones recommended that
the property be assessed on a basis
of one hundred per cent, instead of
sixty as now being done. He advanced
the argument that it would
lessen the taxes by increasing the
net returns, making practically the
same amount of money coming to
thp ctfltp at. the same time eaualiz
ing taxes.
Dr. J. B. Black is chairman of the
committee on medical affairs, and a
member of mints and mining, commerce
and manufactures, and of the
dispensary.
Mr. Garris has been appointed on
the committees on incorporation,
legislative library, and hospital for
the insane. Mr. Miley is on internal
improvements and engrossed bills.
The Ayer house resolution calling
for a test vote on the Dispensary
question was postponed until next
session, the motion being made byC.
W. Garris, of Bamberg.
