KCorrespondence of The Ledger.)
Columbia, S. C , Feb. IS) —Three
days of the legislative session remain.
A^esolution fixii g a titm for ad
journment has been introduced and
it is generally assumed that the
houses will agree to knock olf work
about 12 o’clock Saturday night, at
which time the piy stops.
Since Sunday the house has been
pretty much of a slaughtering pen,
where bills have been killed right and
left. Some were continued until
next session and a few others were
withdrawn by their authors. Among
those continued was the biennial ses
sions proposition, which has formerly
met with more favor in the house
than in the senate, but this year
passed the senate aid failed to pass
the house. The only constitutional
amendment which the house has
agreed to submit is that proposed by
Mr. Wingo, of Greenville, upon which
the senate has not yet acted.
Mr. Wingo is in favor of good roads
and of good laws for good roads. He
thinks the constitution prevents good
laws from being passed, and got
through the house a joint resolution
to let the people vote on the question
of amending the constitution so us to
allow special hgislation on road sub
jects, especially the commutation tax
and kindred subjects. Messrs. Pol
lock, Rainsford, Dorrob and Beam-
guard supported the resolution and
Mr. Cooper opposed it on the ground
that it would be unwise to remove
the special legislation restrictions.
The vote in favor of the resolution
was 85 to 14, the necessary two-thirds
majority being 83.
RUSHING WORK.
Id order to facilitate business the
house has limited speeches to ten
minutes and has taken up the last
few days only bills which have passed
the senate. Any number of these re
late to trivial or local matters.
“kinlow orik.”
Judging from the number of lob
byists present for the past several
weeks, the momentous question before
the legislation at this session was
whether or not Kiniock creek should
be dammed. This was a contention
among neighbors which found its way
into the general assembly and has
created deep interest on account of
the hard work done by the coutening
forces over what appears to be a sim
ple proposition.
Kiuloch creek (pronounced Kinlow
crTk) is an arm of Minim creek, which
is in turn au arm of Santee river in
Georgetown county. All of these
streams are salt water It was pro
posed to dam the mouth of KinJoch
.creek in order to keep out the high
water from freshets, and not to mak-^
a water power as is done in the up-
country. This dam would help the
farmiog interests of S. M. Ward &
Co., rice planters, who have 1,700
acres under cultivation there. Ou
the other baud, Mr. A M. Manigault
owns a bit of high ground in that
neighborhood which is said to oe
available as a mill site and would be
ruined by the dam. The Ward fac
tion claimed it would not hurt the
Manigault property- For two hours
the fight was waged. The Ward fac
tion ‘on the floor claimed that Mr.
Maoigault’s Charleston lawyers had
been here lobbying for the bill, and
one of Mr. Manigault’s supporters oo
the floor charged that the author of
the bill, Mr. Pratt, was one of Mr.
Ward’s attorneys.
The effort to throw the whole case
out as beyond the jurisdiction of the
legislature failed, and the fight was
waged anew. Finally the house voted
on the main question and Kiuloch
creek will be dammed, the vote being
63 to 35. The Georgetown delegation
favored the bill and submitted letters
from Georgetown nrging the bill to he
passed. This bad great effect on the
jrote. Kinloch creek is said to be
[•e-fourths of a mile long and 50
ride at its mouth. The state-
>ro and con were quite confus-

rhere the wafers run.”

geologist is reduced from $2 000 t >
$1,000. For maintaining the quaran
tine station at 8t. Helena, 'he sena e
appropriated $200, the h use $150
For the purpose of quarauiiuing the
state against contagious or infectious
diseases $15,000 was named. The
house appropriated $5,000.
South Carolina College gets $29,400
for ail purposes, including ordinary
repairs, general expenses, improve
ments of buildings, etc. In addition
to this there is an appropriation of
$1,640 for forty-one scholarship* (nor
mal), one to each county in the State.
Wlnthrop gets $56 522. For the
regular scholarship provined by law,
$5,456. The house appropriated $52,-
000 an 1 provided that the scholarships
should be taken from the regular ap
propriation.
The Orangeburg colored college
gets $5 000, but the senate provides
that $1,500 bn used in completing the
building now in proceis of construc
tion.
An effort was made to reduce the
appropriation for pensions from $200,-
000 to $150,000, but this was defeated
by a vote of 22 to 11.
The Citadel appropriation was first
reduced from $25,000 to $22,500, but
Senator Aldrich made an earnest ap
peal for the institution and the ap
propriation was put back to $25,000.
These are the principal changes in
the appropriation bill which has now
been read three times >n each house
and sent back to the lower house for
concurrence in the senate amend-
'merits. Should the house refuse to
concur a conference committee will
be appointed and some agreement
reached before Saturday night. The
supply bill was taken up but has not
yet been acted upon by the senate.
NEW ROAD LAW.
The new road law proposition which
originated in the house has passed a
second reading in the senate with
amendments. The bill provides that
all able-bodied persons between the
ages of 18 and 50 years shall perform
road duty for not less than two nor
more than eight days, as may be
fixed by the county commissioner.
In lieu of performing or causing to
be performed the labor of ten hours
per day a commutation tax may be
paid, which shall not be less than $1
nor more than $3, the amount to be
regulated by the county commission
ers according to the necessities of the
respective counties.
The Hampton monument bill has
passed the senate as it came from
the house, the attempt to amend it
being unsuccessful. There has been
a good deal of debate on the bill to
sentence ten year convicts to the
chaiogang and the measure has not
yet been a;ted upon. The senate has
voted to abolish the office of phos
phate inspector and to devolve the
duties upon the phosphate commis
siouwithout extra compensa ion, but
this has not yet been agreed to by
the house.
The dog. rooster and fish bills are
all waiting their turns in the senate
hut just now the supply bill and the
“omnibus” magistrate’s bill are the
most important on the calendar.
DISPENSARY investigation.
The dispensary investigation has
not developed anything startling and
it will doubtless end in nothing being
done.

SCHOONERS ARE HELD
FAST OHROZEN SEA
Terrible Plight of Fishermen
In the Arctic.
STARVATION CONFRONTS THEM.
Revenue Cutter Seminole Has Been
Dispatched From Boston In Hope of
Penetrating the Ice Field and Res
cuing the Imprisoned Crews.
Channel. N. F., Feb. 12.—The reve
nue cutter Seminole from Boston, has
arrived safely at Port Bosque, after
a terrible battle lasting IS hours with
heavy arctic ice.
Locked Fast In Ice Field.
The Sminole is now 100 miles from
the imprisoned fishermen in the bay
of islands. Between this point and
where a dozen or more schooners,
some American, are held fast in the
frozen sea, still heavier ice must be
encountered before the Seminole can
succeed in reaching her destination.
Canadians Give Up Hope.
The Canadians who for more than a
month have endeavored in vain to
penetrate the ice field, have given up
hope of reaching their countrymen in
the bay of islands. They think it im
possible for the Seminole to for e her
way through the pack of ice, hut the
Americans will make the effort after
coal and more provisions are added to
the revenue cutter’s stores.
Grave Fears For Men’s Safety.
No word has been heard from the
fishermen since one of the fleet, which
escaped the ice, stopped at this port
and reported the plight of the others.
It is lu^ieved the men on the ill-fated
ships are in danger of starvation and
grave fears are entertained that many
have succumbed to the cold. The
Seminole carries an extra supply of
clothing, blankets and medicines. She
will attempt to break up the ice about
the fleet, but if unable to do this, will
try to get near enough to the vessels
to remove the crews.
“BOOBIES” OF FERNANDO PO.
Lieutenant Alexander Tells of Curious
People of Western Africa.
London, Feb. 12.—Lieutenant Boyd
Alexander, who has just returned from
the island of Fernando Po, in the Bight
of Blafra, western Africa, gives an
interesting description of the curious
inhabitante of the practically previous
ly unexplored interior of the island.
These are known as ‘'boobies.” Few
of them have ever seen a white man
and they never leave their primitive
dwellings in the rocks except on or
ganized drinking bouts. The race is
fast dying out from the effect of rum
and palm wine. The natives are
mostly naked, except for a curious
straw bonnet. They paint their bod
ies with colored mud, are unspeaka
bly filthy, for 4 hey never wash but
occasionaly use a knife to scrape off
the surface dirt and create artificial
deformities by tightly wrapping their
limbs. The Fernando Po natives are
exceedingly timid and when sighted
by the whites they bolt into the
depths of the jungle, where they set
up fearsome wails. At certain hours
each day the villages are deserted,
every one, including the children, go
ing off on a carousal.
The lieutenant adds that although
he searched for them diligently he
could find no trace of the burial places
of the natives of the island.

a wish of President McKinley.

Washington, Feb. 12.—The senate
committee on commerce today agreed

Dear Sir: You are interested in
the prosperity of your towo, and every
dollar anybody saves adds to the
wealth of the place.
Peopls can save half their money
on paint—more than half. Devoe

than mixed paints to cover a house,
and lasts twke or three times as long
as lead and oil.
Paint Is saved; labor is saved; and
the ‘'painting nuisance” is made half

When Devoe Lead and Zinc is es
tablished in Gaffney, Gaffney will get
more out of It than we shall.

MUSIC AT LIMESTONE.
The College Folk and Mu*lc'Lover* of GafT-
_ ney KajoySomo Splendid Selection*. "
Last Tuesday night at Limestone
College the college folk and the musi
cal public of Gaffney had^an oppor
tunity of listening to beautiful music
artistically rendered. The occasion
was the seventh recital of the season
by the faculty of the school of music.
Miss Mary E. Williams, head of the
vocal department, and Miss Lucye
Littlejohn, one of the candidates for
graduation from the piano depart
ment, participated. Miss Williams’
numbers were from Jensen, Schubert
and Dvorak; Miss Littlejohn played
Sonata Pathetique by Beethoven.
Since coming to Limestone Miss
Williams’ style has broadened con
siderably and her voice is now much
fuller and sweeter than formerly.
Tuesday night she sang the entire pro
gramme admirably, giving special
pleasure in “Faith in Spring,” ‘‘Se
renade” (Schubert), and “Songs my
Mother Taught Me” (Dvorak) These
songs were given with sincere musi
cal appreciation and rare artistic
finish. Miss Williams, as a highly
cultivated vocalist and au artistic and
refined interpreter of the mastered
songs, does not suffer by comparison
with any of them many singers of in
ternational fame who have appeared
in the college auditorium in the past.
Her personal popularity, as well as the
esteem in which she is held by musi
cians, was attested by the large num
ber of people who came from Gaffney
in disagreeable weather and under un
favorable conditions.
Miss Littlejohn’s playing has many
attnetive phases. Her technique
improves with each public appearance
as does her interpretation of the mas-
terworks. We are informed that the
standara of pianistic proficiency re
quired of prospective graduates at
Limestone was raised quite markedly
at the beginning of last year other
wise Miss Littlejohn would have
completed the course required for
graduation last June. The increased
number of studeots in music and the
quality and quantity of work done by
them show that the change was emi
nently wise.
