BOTH HOUSES ARE VERY BUSY The Warehouse Bill and Many Others Have Been Passed By the Lawmak ers During the Week That Has Just Closed. Columbia.-Eightecn measures of a local nature have been sent to the secretary of state without the signa ture of the governor and have be come law. The governor held the measures for three days without sign ing them, and under the constitution they become law. In the report of state educational institutions made to the ge:ne'rail na sembly the excellert condition of the University of Sout. Carolina is slM forth, and the wcrk of the college highly commended. The use of the pardoning power by the governor of South Carolina is re flected in the annual report of the di rectors of the state penitentiary which was sent to the general assem bly by D. J. Griffith, the superintend nent. Taking exception to certain state ments of Gov. Cole Blease. made in explanation of the pardon of John Black, convicted of conspiracy to de fraud the state in connection with the old South Carolina dispensary, J. Fraser Lyon, attorney general, ad dressed to the general assembly : communication in reply. Mr. Lyc. who was in charg, ci the prosecuticen of Black, flatly denies that prcjuitced political and personal enemies at tempted to heap humiliation ui:on Black, as charged by Gov. Blease. The annual report of A. W. Jones. the comptroller general, sent to the general assembly, recommenCs the repeal of the refunding act of 191(. He points out th-it if the 4 1-2 per cent bonds are issued under the act of 1910 that the state will pay $5, 934,946, whereas if a 4 per cent non taxable bond is issued the loan will cost the state only the interest for 20 years, $4,497,081, which will mean a saving of at least $1,3137,8G5 to the state during the next 20 years. The Senate. The bill to estab!sh a warehouse commission and a system of ware huoses that was amended in th< house was received by the senat" with non-currence.

The bill as it now stands empowers a!l those counties that are not allowed by the Carey-Cothran law and oth er act to vote on the question, to hold an election on the second Tues day in February, 913, for that pur pose.

ABBOTT HERE FF.&M PANAMA - PACIFIC EXPOSI TION TO URGE STATE. LEGISLATURE TO HEAR OF IT Former Governor Gillett of California to Address South Carolina General Assembly in Hope of Having State Represented at Exposition. Columbia.-The Panama-Pacific ex pesition which is to be held in San Francisco in 1915, made its appear anUce in Columbia, through a special commissioner, Willis J. Abbot, of Washington, who has come to seek the participation of South Carolina in that affair. Former Gov. Gillett of California and other representatives of the exposition will be in Colum hia in a few days and the legisluatuer at Mr. Abbot's request, has passed a joint resolution, iuviting these gen tlemen to address the two houses in jcint session. "The San Francisco exposition, or to use its proper title, the Panama 'acific International exposition, is one the great expositions held by au thority of the United States govern rent," said Mr. Abbot. "The first was the Centennia, in 1876, which commemorated the gnd of our first 10f. years of national existence. The next was the Cohymbian fair at Chi cago in 1S93, commemnorating the 4.0th anniversary of the discovery of America. The Pan-American ex position at Buffalo and the Charleston and West Indian expositions came next. Still another was the Lcuisiann Purchase exposition, at St. Louis in 1504, which celebrated our acquistion of the great Louisiana territory. The great exposition a: San Francisco in 1915 will come at the very moment of one of the historic events in our national life, namely, the opening of the Panama canal. Severe Criticism of Railroad. Camden.--At a meeting of the chaim ber of commerce many things were discussed, the most important being the severe criticism that the North western railway received from the body. So strong was the denuncia tion of the service rendered Camden at scveral members urged that the -hamtber ef commerce organize the -erchants and withdraw their patron ,e from the roa 1. Several of the riombers stated that as they were tired of requesting the railroad com t-ission and the authcrities of the riaad to give Camden good service. they would take the matt:r in hand thIiemselves. An Accident On Southern Road. Columbia-Southern train No. 32. nem Jacksonville to Washingten, -as delayed three hours here on ac -'ount of the engine turning over in the Blanding street yards in this ~:ity. Only the engine let the track~ a~nd the passengers were unaware of the accident until it was over. The accident was caused by a split switch. The track was speedily clear ed, and, after the coaches had been taken back to the nion station and a new engine steamed, the train set cut tcr the North with a right-of-way track. Live Stock Assocciation Meets. Columbia.-The tenth annual meet ing of the South Carolina Live Stock association was called to order by President Byrd in the council cham ber of the city hall.

This lesson is the one solitary In stance recorded in the strangely seal ed thirty years of the Master's life. lere is an illustration of w:hat is Leart by the inspiration of election -onny there thirgs that were of vital and redempltive i-nportance in the life of Jesus are recorded. John says, .Many other signs truly did Jesus wvhich are not written in this book: I":t *Icsc are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the : of God; and that believing ye r.-t have life through his na:c." 'or this re::scn, we s;hould value every word that is witten. The lesscu furnishesj a model in cl::racter bu.'di:g for the youth. .Je.:us is the exah::lo, and the nmo'ei bay. Jesus vns a real boy. lie ate, drank, played. grc-.v, ah:ed uesticus, just as olher boys de. Ills character, lihe all cther char acter buildirg. was a growth: "le in creased in v isdc. and s:a:ure. No character is i :'ancers; it is the wcrk of growth ad cf years, indeed, of a lifetime. An ei'cle is formed drop by drop. Character is formed by sin gle vrds and acts. A mushroom may gow in a night, but surely not the charac:er of a man]. Just as words and sentences are formed by meane of the siugle letters of the alphabet, :o words. thc:ght::. deeds, actions, 16:s. mctivcs-tlhese are the alphabet frcn which we spexll character. Sow a ti~o::ght, r.rd rc-:p a word; sow a sverd, and reap an: act; sow an act, ai.nd reap a habit; sow a habit, and reap a character; 53-. a character, and reap a destiny. Christ's character was developed in the home. Ile had a Christian home tha g:-ca:cA. gii of God this side of heaven. What ch-nce has many a ehild today to bu-id charactcr in a h~!-nc -hre t:e parents know not God, r.ever reed the Bil e, rever pray, nev er go to chtrch! L for no other rea son, parents should bccome Christians fir their children'r sake. If our chil dren are lost, we p.:rents are to blame, unless v:e have set before them the example of a Christian life. As a boy. Christ as obedient to his paranLs. This waS a manly thing.

The apron strings of t1:- inottaer may become the reins of goveranment of the nation. We must obey be:-ore we can ecmmand. Tihcechaaater of Jesus vwas develop ed in the cha:-ch also. His parents vwcre' churehgovrs, and they bad cul ti~ated that habit in the child. In speiking of Jes:: as a churchgoer, Lulne says :;at "as his -custom was, 1:e vwent into the synagogue."
