It is with deep regret that The Preaa
and Standard publishes die death of Miss
Settle Yarn, of Getainger. 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. Let

dere on Saturday. 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
â– 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

tfiVlEW AND FORECAST OF THE
LBOISLATURb.
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.
