Senator W. C. Hough has a
bill before the legislature to
emnower the trustees of Iver
sliuw School District No. 40 to
order an election to authorize
the issue of coupon bonds for
erecting a school building.
It has been rumored for some
time that Representatative T. Y.
Williams of Lancaster would be
a candidate for Congress from the
Fifth district in the primary this
6ummer, but in the absence of
any authentic information we
have heretofore refrained from
mentioning anything about his
prospective candidacy. While
iu Columbia last Friday, however,
in conversation with Mr. Wil
nit in ts , in answer to tne uireci
question, he stated that he had
decided to make the race and
would be in the field for that office
this summer.
Mr. Williams is an able and
rising young man. lie has rep
resented his county in the legis
lature for four successive terms,
eight years, and in that time has
taken high rank in the House
and established for himself an
enviable reputation. We feel
quite safe in saying that it the
voters of the Fifth district see fit
to advance Mr. Williams to a sea'
in Congress to succeed Mr. Fin
ley, who has been very popular
in the district, that he will not
disappoint their expectations but
will retlect credit both upon him
self and the district.?Kershaw
Era.
Among the numerous bills
that have been introduced before
the legislature this session are
two by Representative T. Y.
Williams, one to permit a mag
istrate to be appointed at the
Lancaster cotton mills, with a
salary of $150 a year, and one to
allow Lancaster countv tftft.000
in bonds to take the place of
former issue. The former rate of
interest' was 6 per cent.
The new loan will be 4 per
cent. These are bonds issued in
aid of Cheraw and Chester railroad
bonds. Chester county will
do the same thing under Mr.
Gaston's bill passed by the senate
to fund $75,000 old bonds.
Mr. Mauldin's hill to provide
that when Greenville borrows
money in advance of receipt of
tax payments, the funds shall be
spent lor current expenses ami
not for past indebtedness.
Mr. Wright's bill to make safe
cracking with the use of explo
sives a felony, to be punished by
30 years servitude.
It is now practically certain
that th^re will be war between
Japan and Russia, if indeed \i
1 . __ 1 1 _ A A. 1 I f
mis not ui re any sturteu uuiuru
now. Both nations have been
making preparations for war for
some time, and Monday the
Japanese were landing troops
in Corea, the bone of contention
between these two powers.
Since writing the above, the
wires have brought the news
that Russia and Japan have
gone to fighting.
A petition was circulated here
last week by Rev. I)r. J. II.
Boldridge and numerously signed,
asking the legislature to so
amend the dispensary law that
towns in which a dispensary
has been established can vote
on its removal. It is a reflection
on somebody that such a
provision was not made in the
dispensary law in tlio begin
ning, and shows pretty conclusively
that the advocates of the
bill were not altogether in favor
of fair play. In all fairness this
amendment should be passed.

It is estimated that there are
50,000 people thrown out of employment
by the great fire in
Baltimore, which started Sunday
at 11 o'clock and raged till
4 o'clock Monday afternoon, en
tailing an estimated loss of
over one hundred million dol
lars and laying waste 140 acres
of the busiest and most valu
able portion of that flourishing
city. This is the third largest
fire in the history of this country,
that of Chicago in 1871 be
ing the largest and that in Bos
ton in 1872 being the second
largest.
For The Enterprise
Mask ttall Saturday Niuht
A grand mask ball was given
in the Lancaster Cotton Mill
hall Feb. tith and was much en
joyed by all who attended. The
ladies' costumes were beautiful
and the gentlemen's were becoming
and neat. The names
of the masked are too numer
ous to mention. Night and
Uinderrella was beautiful while
stately Mamie and Mrs. Judy
lead the trrand march, each
bearing a Bonnie Blue Fag. The
costumes were planned and made
by Miss R. E. Manes and her
assistant Miss Bell Caskey, and
too much credit cannot be given
the t\vo ladies for their assis
tance in making the party a
success. The music was fur
nished by the cotton mill string
band. The only thing that
mared the pleasure of the night
was the illness of Mr. Reed
Clayton.
