LAURENS, B. C, Jan. 28, 180?.
OUR LEGISLATORS
Very little ?Legislation has as yot
been accomplished. The less, the
better of course. Many bills are
pending, originating in the House
and Senate and much work cut out.
Little disposition is shown towards
gas and buncombe, but thero Is a
strong leauing towards the wildest
kind of legislation, calculated, to
drive capital out of the 8tate, pro
vided always, that any should be
found in it. The character of Iho
legislation Is illustrated by the able
debate on the Canine Bill. It pass
ed the House allowing tho owner
of a gun to inillet death on a dog
found depredating on anothors'
premises than his own, provided
the dog was killing a sheep, pig,
poultry, or was a mad dog and
? about to bite some child or ilhbe
cilo person unable to protect itself
unless by iuflictiug mortal injury.
The y^UoWjdog at least secured a
dog-fall. %
CkjtySmittees have been appoint
ed to Investigate Winthrop and
Olemson Colleges; also tho conduct
of the Penetentlary by Superinten
dant Neal. This course will do no
harm, yet wo do not apprehend
that any corruption or incipient
rottenness will be found. It is well
euougb, however, for public offlcors
to know that the public have an
' oye upon them.
? A Mr. Williams, of old Edge
| field Is for cutting down salaries of
l Associate Justices aud other ofll
! elals, but Mr. Williams will And
that he Is in after the feast and that
all the big officers have been eleotv
ed beforo his law applies and that
their salaries cannot be reduced
during the terms for which they
have been olocted. But Mr. Wil
liams' intentions are good.
?The Bill to create two new cir
cuits, (that economical arrangement
we mentioned last week,) makes
the seventh cirouit to consist of
Spartanburg, Union and Laurens,
Judges to have $2,700, Solicitors
$1,200, and Stenographers $1,100.
It will only tako $10,000 annually
to pay the aggregation.
There was great eloquence
from a Mr. Floyd, a Mr. Harper,
and others on a Bill to mako tbe
birthday'of Gen. B. E. Leo a Iogal
holiday, but how any man in sym
pathy with any expression, act or
environment of a Leo could have
gotten into a Southern Legislature
or any other position, at this day,
will remain nu unexplained mira
cle to the crack of doom. It can
only be explained upon the fact
that Lee has been dead somo twen
ty years, and public men now-in
sympathy with the times aro ut
terly oblivious of Leo's feelings,
~~atM aspirations, if they ever had a
dream of them. Andrew Johnson,
of Tennessee, is certainly the man
that Floyd and Harper ought to
harp on and apotheosize, when
they propose to set up objects df
worship. Ninety-nine hundrcths
of the proposed Legislation has
reference to office, offices, and how
to control them. So far as the codo
of procedure is concerned, tho
criminal law, or tho law of con
tracts affecting the rights and prop
erty of the citizen, little change
seems to be proposed. This is tho
status and the trend as we this
moment write.
We note as of old time, a tenden
cy to legislate in the interest of
shad, the sturgeon, and tho finny
tribe; but this is a waste of public
money; a second Dlogones may bo
selected to spy out the land and
give evidence against the fish
fiends, but ho will be "bamboozled"
and "debauched" by the tlmo he
gots within a Sabbath days journej
of Waccaraaw, and no native re
siding above Columbia may expect
to luxuriate on anything above the
merit of a mud cat?much less a
shad, except he pays at tho rato of
a dime to every scale that glistons
on his sides.
Wo note that Mr. Townsend, from
somewhere, a member of tho
House, has held a thousand dollar
position all tho year round in tho
Attorney . ?enerai's department,
and Mi. Duncan, of Newberry, nn
office of big profit in the offico of
Secretary of Slate, and some mem
ber feebly, like a sucking dove,
wants to know how such things
can be in these days of Roforin.
The inquirer should develope his
lang power and make himself
heard.

House was killed, as if It had hy
drophobia in if, and tho yallbr dog

We observe with satisfaction,
that our Imoaodiato representatives
are not crowding the calendar with
Oarnancho propositions.
The election for Supreme Court
Judges has not yet occurred.
They wHl be merely perfunctory.
Judge Pope will be elected to sue*

will be elected to the now place.
Representative Frank Gary will be

for a protracted and costly session.

Our (Jrltlc.
Our good friond Col. Hoyt, sinco ho
loft Laurens, where he had good, hon
est training as a boy has grown nlco
and critical and here Is what ho says
without any disguise of a facotlous
turn, of The ADVERTISER'S spelling.
Did tho constitutional convention al
ter tho spoiling of the word "magis
trate" when It was substituted for trial
justice? It Is ugoodchaugo, and brings
back tho custom of ye olden timos by
having a 'Squire In every neighbor
hood, but tho Laurens Advertiser
styles him "majistrato." Perhaps that
is old English. Tho editor of tho Ad
vertiser Is very learned in tho law, and
wo hesitate to question his spelling
qualifications, but that was not tho
stylo In Laurens when we woro a boy.
The word is derived from tho Latin
MAjis, majok, majister, was carried up
to Normandy from Italy somo ten cen
turies ago, thence by tho Iron Duke to
England somo eight conturlos back,
thenco around and about tho English
speaking countries and has got wrong
In its travels and meanderings. You
aro right, brother, Wobstor and Wor
cester should revise according to The
Advertiser. There now.
The Cotton Growers.
Tho action of tho Memphis Cotton
Growers Association, has beon wise,
and their rocommondations to keep tho
crop within seven millions balos should
bo roall/.od. It Is a difficult matter,
but wo trust tho delegation from this
State will take stops to hold the crop
within the bounds specified. It is mad
ness to plant an overwhelming acre
age, raise nlno or ten millions, at im
mense cost, whon tho world don't want
it and can't and won't pay for it. Hard
horse sonso Is needed hero.

Mr. A. S. Farrow, a young man of
first-class ability, and lato a member
of tho constitutional convention from
tho city of Charleston, died on tho 22d,
at his homo in that city. Ho was a na
tive of Virginia, born In 1803, had re
cently settled In Charleston and was
regarded as one of tho most promising
young men in South Carolina. His
death will be universally regretted.
There may be an endless succession
of propositions like thoso now ponding
boforo the legislature Somebody will
presently want an Andrew Jackson day
aud a Calhoun day, and thon wo will
have a proposition for a Bon TiUhian
Wo aro surprised that some) roform
brother has not suggested it/ already.
It is cortain that UenTlllmgtn has done
things that Lee, Stonewall Jackson,
Andrew Jackson and Calhoun could
not havedono?would not have dared
do. If that day'is dedicated?and wc
would rosp.ee'tfully suggest the first of
April as'uio only appropriate one?the
next rnovo would be a John Irby day
aud tho roform clomont might even

Irby Hits at Tillinnn.
Sonator Irby says he has no in
tention of bolting tho Democratic
party to join forces with tho pro
posed new free silver party. He
Says ho is In favor of free silver and
will yolo for it every timo he gets
an opportunity, but will do so with
in the ranks of the Democralic
party In company with Senator
Walthall, of Mississippi; Senator
Bates, of Tennessee, and other dis
tinguished Southern Senators, who
have no intention of leaving the
Democratic party to join A. J.
Warner and auy combination of
Republicans, Populists and socallod
Democrats that may be formed.??
He says he accepted tho chairman
ship of the Democratic partv in
South Carolina in 1890, and "then
nnd there promised ho would be
the last to leave It. Ho has not lost
faith in the Democratic party, al
though some of tho prominent men
in it may differ with him on the fi
nancial question. Ho says there
have been repeated efforts on the
part of other mou in South Caro
lina to go out of tho party into the
ranks of the Populists, but he has
thus far been able to restrain many
from taking such a step. Ho is not
ablo to say what, percentage of
South Carolina Democrats are pre
pared to leave tho old party ond
go ovor to tho camp of the pro
posed now party.?R. M. L. Wash

TiiH New Propped Graded Sobonl
under tho management of Pi?f. 13.
Y. Culhcrleon, is ono of the lead
ing County Schools of tho Btate.
Prof. Culbertson took charge of
this School three years ago under
very unfavorable circurnntance?,
there being an average of about
thirty pupils during the public term
which lusted about two nr.d one
half month?. And the house and
seats to say the least of'thorn were
very uncomfortable indeed. We
might also mention the fact that at
that timo there were thrto white
schools located in this district.
Although encumbered with these
adverse circumstances this school
was a success.
Seeing this und realising that
"in unity thsre 1* strong! h" the
trustees called a meeting of the
peopltPof tho whole tdistrioi who
decided to unite the schools of this
district at a contral location nour
Boyd'a Cross Roads. At tho sauio
meeting Prof^ Culbertson was
elected to take charge of this sohoo),
and Capt. John Moore was elected
to superintend the building. All
who know the public spirit and per
severance of ?apt. Moore, know
that success was assured. The
houEo having been completed, and
desks and other school furniture
having been provided, the session
was begun with a larger attendance
than waa expected. To acoomrao
dato this largo number of pupils
another room has been added.
And our young professor not
contented with the idea of confining
himself to our own district has gone
out from time to timo and secured
ihn attendance of several boarding
pupils who go out glad to praise
the name of their teacher and tho
school at New Prospect But pro*
grf S3 has not yet ceased. Several
from High Point under the leader
ship of Col. J, D. M. Shaw, have
recently united with us. The
Colonel and his friends have come
with their hearts and purses open,
and aro now taking a leading hand
in building up our school.
And sve aro glad to make special
mention of fact that Col. Shaw has
recently built upon the school house
ground, a nice mueic house in which
thero is now a large class being
taught.
Besides the District Trustees we
have a Local Board and each Board
are earnest and unanimous in their
work.
School meetings nie frequently
held for the purpose of grasping
new ideas and better plans of build
ing up our school.0. In these meet
ings many good speeches have been
made, much zeal a ad interest mani
fested and consequently a great
deal of good accomplished. Our
?chool has been graded with ipecial
regard for students who are prepar
ing to enter college or to teach in
our common schools. Our standard
is high and we are always ready to
welcome any one who wishes to
enter our school.
The teachers for tho present ses
sion i3 as follows : Prof. B. Y.
Culberteon, principal, Miss Saiah
Sullivan, primary teacher and Mis
M. S. Davenport, music teacher.
Thoso teachers have registered
more than eighty pupils for the
present session.
With tho above named leadeis,
trustees and teachers, including our
ellicient School Commissioner, we
hops to be stilt more prosperous in
the future.
Let us hear from other schools
that wo may with our different plans
build up the common schools of our
county.

The best and purest Drugs in the world are of no service, or
are dangerous, if they are not handled carefully. This is a matter
which is always uppermost in our mind?carefulness, Care in
choosing the right bottle?care in measuring or weighing the right
dose. It is our constant aim to be the kind of Druggist to whom
people can go with confidence when perhaps the lives of loved ones
depend upon the care, accuracy and knowledge of the man who
fixes the remedies used. The worn out phrase, "Prescriptions
carefully compounded," looks as ludicrous upon some signs as
would "God Bless Our Home" upon the walls of a cell in the
County jail. "Do men gather grapes of thorns?" With care and
I accuracy we endeavor to combine their twin cousins?Neatness and
Fair Prices.
Appreciating the confidence bestowed upon us in 1895 we shall
strive to be more worthy of it during 1896, which for each and all
we hope has man)' blessings in store,
