The Columbia Record now comes cc cut as a twelve page paper, carrying bi the full press dispatches of the As- 0( sociated Press, and printed on a new la Isterotype press of the latest pattern, fa The Record is growing right along, th and Editor Hoyt is to be congratu- ti< lated on the paper he is building up. This case in the Supreme Court in the matter of the children of Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr., whose children are s * > t being kept away from her by Sena- Qr tor Tillman, has no doubt done the ? a 1 Senator more harm than anything j. i \ which has ever occurred in his politi- re ' cal career. There is no questlou si but that his keeping these children cc ? from their mother has shown him t up to many people in South Carolina T] as he never was before, and not to ^ ' his advantage either. The feeling of the people generally is easily un- fy. derstood when it is noted how quick *r bills were offered in both the House and Senate to repeal the law under which the children were deeded to % Senator Tillman and his wife. . That was a significant incident in ^ Columbia last week when the || 4 Senate of South Carolina prac- kl r: - 'tocally declined to hear Senag; f tor Tillman speak. The House gj passed a resolution inviting the SenaII; tor to address both branches of the g R general assembly, and the resolution ft was then sent to the Senate for action. Senator T. Y. Williams, of M g| Lancaster, at onbe objected to imme- J ^ diate consideration of the resolution, j. which, under the rules, forced the m W. resolution to go over until the next n p day. As the invitation was for the jfe same afternoon, the effect was that , S the Senate did not care to hear Mr. ^ K: Tillman. Then the House passed a i resolution asking the Senator to address that body, but Mr. Tillman asked to be excused on account of the R- mission which brought him to Core?; lumbia. A few years ago Mr. Will iams's action would have been high k. i treason, but now not one Senator re Is fivftn ftxnostulated with Mr. Williams 0D I or made any effort to have Mr. Till- c'b man address the body. Truly a bet- ki t#r day is dawning politically for as ||Pv? South Carolina. F OUR GRADED SCHOOL. I - Last fall the trustees of the Bam- ^ K berg graded school levied a fee upon u I pupils of $2.00 per session, which p, was made necessary by the loss of ^ dispensary profits, this fee being ab- e solutely necessary to maintain the ^ school. Most of the patrons have ? paid this fee, but some have not. The trustees have prepared a statement showing all probable income hl for the school from all sources, and ^ even with this there wil be a deficit w % at the close of school in June of $400 st or more. And this deficit will exist th even if every patron pays this fee. lo Heretofore we had not paid this fee, t for the reason we did not like this hj way of raising money to run the b. school. However, we have put aside our ideas in the matter, and expect ol to pay whatever assessments the ca trustees may levy upon the patrons, w because we believe it is good citizenship to hold up the hands of the 01 trustees who are doing a thankless 0] public work at a sacrifice of time and 01 other interests. They have a hard proposition to handle, and it is no more their school than it is that of u: ever tax payer and patron in the w - district. Money is needed?this is h no time to discuss what would have "< been best or what did not exactly suit O you. The school must be maintained ei ?it is your school?your children V are attending it, and it is a proposi- w 'tioiL which every patron must face, ai Therefore we urge every patron to at d once pay the fee levied by the board, is for it is necessary for the interests si of the school. P DRAINAGE ITEM THROWN OUT. M epresentative Lever Much Disturbed *-s< by an Act of the House. ] Washington, February 5.?Repre- Ne1 sntative Lever is much disturbed be- ten Luse of the fact that during the con- ing deration of the agricultural appro- scr -iation bill on Thursday Represen- rec tive Perkins, of New York, made a Ga; >int of order against the item in def te bill which carried the appropri- ma lion for the continuance of work of am rainage investigations, and thus ava aocked it out of the bill. Mr. Lever the ade a strong but unsuccessful per- lici >nal appeal to Mr. Perkins to with- wai -aw the point of order and permit J lis work to go on. ele This is a division of the depart- cha ent which is doing especially fine of ork in South Carolina, areas hav- of g been investigated and reported dis ion near Charleston, Georgetown, tin] id Columbia, and requests are now of 1 file for surveys near Columbia and for 1 James Island. ing Unless this item can be put back inc me Dili wnen it reaeues me oene, the good work of this division the id all it meant to the lower part of pai )uth Carolina will have to be dis- ing mtinued. Mr. Lever called this to atter to the attention of Senator ( mmons of North Carolina to-day tisi a conference with him and ex- the ressed the hope that the Senate list mmittee would act favorably upon ma s suggestion that this item of $80,- offi< )0, involving so much to the swamp anc nds of the country, be acted upon ies vorably by the committee. Unless vot is is done no more such investiga3ns will be made after June 30, HO. , \ i c cl Good Ship "South Carolina." 19 Yoi The battleship South Carolina will str< >ry probably arrive in Charleston Fui i April 10.

Possibly no political campaign in w York city in years has been atded by a greater use of advertisspace of various kinds and deiptions than the one which ended ently with the election of Judge ynor to the mayoralty and the eat of the remainder of the Tamny ticket.
