For quite a nnmbtr of years Miss Yarn was a true and earnest oorrespoodent for this paper. In her community she was a true type ef noble Christian womanhood; loved ly all who knew her. The loving smile that ever oaressed her lips will be missed, not only her inter mediate family,but by her many friends who associated with her daring her life. The link in the family chain will al ways remain an nnreparable loss. The Frees and Standard deeply sympathizes with the family in this their sad hoar. # • It is gratifying to read of the rapid growth and wondarful prosperity of Ashton and vicinity as related by onr eorreepondent in last week's issue. We a*wglad to know of it and hope that the year 1106 will bring continued success bo the people of that section. Bnt pros perity is not confined to one section or ene neighborhood. The whole county is prosperous. Our people arc in bette, •oodition than they have ever been. They are baying more land, building new and and better houses or improv ing the old ones, erecting better school bnildings and providing them with modem equipment. New lands are being cleared. The farmer has better stock and raises mom snppUes at home. In fact, the outlook generally is for better times and greater prosperity. We have a county of wonderful resonr- but it needs development.

This does not take into account the hundred* and hundreds of other bill* tbat have not been placed as special orders. The prospect is that the dispensary situation will consume the greater part of the week. The out look just now is that there will be a dis cussion of the various bills for several days and that there will be a decisive vote by Wednesday night. This condi tion, however, may be changed, and it is possible that the House will get im patient and vote without much argu ment; as a matter of fact pretty much every member now knows how he ex pect* to vote and disensuon will change but few votes. There are fifteen varions and conflict ing propositions relative to the dispen sary on the House Calendar, and some of these touch only on minor phrases of the general situation. The outlook to-day Is that the real fight will he on two bills. First, on the hill proposed by the dispensary com mittee—this committee is largely com posed of pronoune^d friends of the system—and then on the Morgan local option hill. It will he on these two bills that the chief fire will be centered. The former hill proposes to patch up the present system and provide fora slight change in the methods of doing bnsioess. The Morgan bill, on the other hand, starts out with the abolition of the State dispensary. This corner-stone of the entire fight is the State dispensary, and it is on this that the fight is to be made, THU SENATE. * * The Senate did a good week’e work during the paet six days. A number of hilia received third reading, and a great many mom coming over from the houae were advanced on the calendar. Three- fourths of these am local hills, and the others, while being of some importance to special interests, industries or en terprises, possess little popular interest. There were two hill* which brought ont much discussion. One was the •trike and lockout hill, which had many friends, because of .the good ob ject intended to he brought abont by it, the prevention of sympathetic strikes and lockouts. The hill had received favorable action from the Senate for three sessions, hat the real effect of it was, perhaps, not so clearly and forci bly pointed ouVas-at this session and this accounts for it* final defeat. The hill gave circuit judges most drastic powars of injunction and punishment, every citizen strive to "*«*** this the their pnptioal application f Up mill owners would be affi impracticable to enjoin individuals. The other bill, which ■ion, was the holiday hill. While this amRies |o all colleges, the bill was brou£t forth by the refusal of the Winthrop trustees to give the students Christmas holiday. The hill pamed to third reading, hut a clerical error being discovered, it was mi back as-e second reading bill, and it may he that it will have to ran another gauntlet. While eome senators object to so many holidays, especially in reboots, judging from the tone of the arguments nobody objected to the Winthrop girls having a short Christ- vacation. The ohjectioa to the bill mainly beoanes It overrides a fee trustees and faculty., it Md that thay do, or ought to, in the history of county,—greatest In point of advancement, greatest in S * . - - , T T.

Ooinabia, January 18.—The ^n—ing u cat In the House promises to be vary bogy. The dispensary, compulsory ed- „ the voDoeed ton-hour Ww lUfulafeon of the primary and election taxation and regulation of the votin; again-t any of the b Ills was nine. They beUeve either that bienni il sessions are not best for the Bute or vote<l against tbe bi’ls becaui) tbe counties they represented had vjted against the proposition. A b *i of much interest to tbe lumber men was discussed somewhat, but no v >te was reached. That bill is intended to provide that timber shall be subj ct r> + * to taxation. Under the present law, it is held, the land on which timber stands is taxed, bat not the timber itself. Tbe land often being returned for small amounts, the valne of the timber not being taken into consideration. To remedy this alleged defect on taxations is the object of the bill. It was intro- dneed by Senator Hates, and argument on it will be resumed on Tuesday. As yet the fertilizer manufacturing bill has not come np for consideration. It has been reached on tbe calendar, bnt those favoring it have usually moved for the farther postponement of debate when it was called. With the exception of a bill to compel the Coast Line to bnild a depot at Flor ence, no legislation on that subject orig inating in the senate was disposed of during the week Mr Sinkler’e bill mak- log the section of the Criminal Code relative to tampering with or deetroy- ing signals, switches, etc, apply to electric lines wss passed. It was held by Judge Prince in a Charleston case that the law did not apply to electric, but to steam lines, and the object of the bill is to remedy that situation. The two and a half cents passenger fare hill was reported unfavorably. The bill to place sleeping car, refriger ator lines and electric railroads running beyond corporate limit* has been re ported favorably, bnt has not been acted on. The bill to require electric railways to protect motor men with ves tibules enclosing them on all sides, passed second reading without objec tion, bnt the bill will be opposed when it comes np for a third reading. Amongst railroad legislation proposed daring the week were bills by Senator Mauldin to require all trains to stop at stations on signal and to give the rail road commission *pbwer to appoint an expert machinist to inspect locomotives and condemn them if he thinks it good for mfe service. Senator Marshall introduced another to require railroads to make close oon- neodon. 0 Another by Senator Charles would limit the hoars of labor of railroad train hands to twelve hours per dty. Outside of the passage and ratifica tion of the dispensary investigating bill, no dispensary legislation has been tackled. Ebenezer Events.
