Sorrell of the Southern Rail way Expresses Views About Anderson County "The best live stock section of Vir ginia is ?o belter fur raising cattle than is Anderson County," said Dr. Walter Sorrell, assis it live stock agent of the Southern Railway, when he returned to the city ?last, night. Dr. Sorrell had been spending the day in Anderson County, visiting some half-frozen* prominent farmer? who are interested in-the raising of live stock, an-' who are striving to interest their neighbors. Discussing his visit here with. a reporter for The intelligencer last night, Dr Sorrell said that he was here principally to get a line on the live stock industry In this section '.* He said that Anderson was one of the best situated counties for live stock raising to be found either in the Carolinas or Virginia, end point 3u to some ui' the auvatu^K-ee that Anderson possesses, stressing the fact that here is plenty of running water, whereas in some counties this cannot be obtained. He said that his examination yesterday of the soil A the county abo wed him that ic was particularly adapted to \grass growing, and cited this as a decided advantage of this section over the Western States. "Yet," said Dr. Sorrell, "your people are content to continue Importing cullie from the West,' when they can raise better cat tle herc at home." He said , that if the people of this immediate section of the Piedmont country would put the time on their grazing lands and prepare them as they have been prepared in Virginia kVgZ' Al_1J _A - .1- - .!- - . -V >IMV iiiujr KMUIU |IUI> (nv IIVC t?lUCN industry on a better basis than could JO found in the entire United States. Dr. Sorrell said that with the ad vent of the movement to purchase J rood stock and raise mules and ?orses at home, the troubles of the farmer had come to an end. He insiders that this is one of the most m portant factors that any farrow mportant factors that any farmer te is delighted over the progress that a bains; made along this Itae. He ?id that he had personally naught .wo cars of brood mares to this sec ion of the country, and that he could .ave placed many more if be had leen able to secure them.

Reflected Upon the Father of Senator Christensen of Beau fort County. Columbia, Jan. ."0.-The ?-j??uw?ng ia the governor's message which created such a stir in the senate Thursday night. "I notice from the Journal that, in rising to a question of personal privi lege one Neils Christensen styling himself Senator from Beufort, has seen lit to jay that I was once trus tee of a negro college. This is true, but when he says that I was a can didate for the job, he is mistaken. The facts are that some years ago cortie friends of mine came to me and stated that on account of the fact that I was opposed to white people'.^ money being used to educate negroc?, they wanted me t ngo on the board of trustee of the State Colored College. After conversation with them, I fin ally agreed, for the purpose of en deavoring to reduce appropriations for that institution. I went on the board and found there as good men as South Carolina has ever produced, and none of them had been captain or sons of the captains of a negro company in the Union army, who led charges -.-with negro itroon? against the white soldiers of the Southern Confederacy. That, however, in my opinion, is quite different from being trustee of a private negro school. I believe practically every board of white trus tees in the State are also trustees of negro public schools, but I do not believe that htose trustees would for a moment accept tho trusteeship of a private negro school. Nor do l believe they would giv enegroes as theri reference. Today I am ex-officio chairman of the board of trustees of the negro college for this state. Every other Governor has been since that college was established. Therefore, any man who would refuse to be ex-of ficion trustee of a negro college, would have to decline to ' be Gover nor of thc State.

WARNS LEGISLATURE Governor May Use **iz Veto Power Again Columbia, Jan. 30.-Following is a j message sent to the general assem-1 bly Thursday night by Governor Bl ease: "I have in messages heretofore called your attention to the appro priations made for the ' ?tate's higher institutions of learning. I ' desire now again to call your attention to this matter, and to suggest that you paSs your appropriation bill in such shape that you will not bo of neces sity forced to over-ride a veto of an entire amount for fear of closing or in jurying any school, aud that you wiii not bc forced ir. this manner to vote for a much larger appropria tion than is necessary for the school. "I would suggest, therefore, that when you pass your appropriation bill, instead of saying, for instance. For the University of South Caro lina $198,000, that you say, for the University of South Carolina, for maintenance so much, law building ?o much, new dormitory so much, and io* on-that is, that you pass it in itemized items, and not in bulk items. I fear, gentlemen, that if you do not ?jo thin, some of these institu tions are going to make extraordi narily large demands this year, and tha tyou will find yourselves in a position, when you shall have finish id, that you will have to raise your State levy considerably, and that if [ should decide to use the veto pow ;r that the argument will then be used to you. "Oh, if you sustain this veto you will close the school, rou* will hurt the college." "Now I do not know that I am go ing to veto any of the items in the tppronriatoin bill. I think possibly it ls hbout time, just on the eve of in election, to let you gentlemen do lust as you please, then for the Gov ernor to sign the hill, and issue a statement ,or at least explain thc Tact of his signing the hill, as he roes around the rostrum this sum ner, and let you and your constitu ants fight it ont, In regard to the O??U D ...THEATRE ..Today's Program..

PHYSICIANS MUST RETURN REPORTS All Contagious Diseases in Ander sno Must Be Reported to State Board. Local pbyf-lclans have received a letter from Janies A. Hayne, M. D., State health officor, calling their at' tentlon to the law which requires every physician to report to the stat< board of health every case of con tagious cr communicable diseases, upon a penalty of $25 fine for failure to comply with the requirement. A copy of the letter which was sent to 1,300 physicians of the state fol lows: "I am sending ten postal cards for the reporting of contagious disease, occurring in your practice during thi coming year. As soon aa you diag nose, or have reasonable suspicion of a case hoing contagious or coi. municable, fill in one of these cards .ind mall to this office. You will J the coming year. If living in a cor kept supplied with these cards during porate town, do not use the card to report to your local board, but send direct to this ofllce. These card cost j ibo state avconsidcrable, sum of moue so do not throw thom away, or u them for other purposes than report ing contagious diseases. The law in regard to the reporting of contagious diseases by physicians is clear, and a failure to report is punishable by j a fine of ?25. I feel sure however, that I can count on the physicians helping to prove that South Carolina is not the unhealthy state it in be lieved to be on account of its morbi dity statistics being based upon those' Charleston. I alBo enclose a list of' diseases adopted by the state board of health to bo reported. Of course, a great many of these diseases are very rare, and some of them hare ue\ occurred in South Carolina, but the list was only adopted for the sake ot unformity, it being the one agreed upon by all tho states." EXTREME CRUELTY SHOWN CONVICTS 7* I. _i TL.i cv,n_r>_ Authorities Perpetrated Many Outrages. Atlanta. Tan. 80.-Chairman S.

The Georgia Prison Reform asso ciation aided in bring1 rig other evi dence before) the grand Jury/ thc eight convicts, in. their stripes, were iiniiiT<>d 'before the body to tell a lu rid story of almost unbelievable cruel ty.
