Ball, Proprietor. AAl KI.NS, S. ('.. Jan., 24, 11)00 (ITIt LEGISLATURE. The Editor of tit is paper has watched the proceedings of the Legislature now In BeSilon with more tbatt ordinary at tention, lie has come to tho conclu sion that it is more than an ordin arily able body. Senate and H0U80. There are manifestations of a broad gauge tendency. The Senate can boast an unusual array of real clover men. Bhepperd. one of the best bal anced and all round men the State ever had, Is particularly :i Statesman. Then there is Henderson, Mayfiold, Barnwoll, Archer, Mower, Dean, Wal ler, Manning. Gruydon, Livingston and others, all strong men of mark that make the body peculiarly able compared to slmlliar parliamentary bodies. The House consists of one hundred and twenty-four members, more than three times the Senate nu ihorlcally, mtioh younger men, but as yet there has not been palpable mani festions of fitness for leadership in the aggregation Stevenson, of Chester field, is easily as yet tho ready and able leader. George Prince, of Ander son, Is a good .-eeoml, and sve 110*0 with pleasure that ex-Lieutenant Governor Mauldin Is fully abreast of the de niands of the times, and has lost not a whit of the energy, carefulnoes and well poised common sense that has always distinguished him, Among the bright young nvil of the House must bo named Patton, of Uiohland, Mc Gollough, of Greenville, Henderson, of Greenwood, William-, of Lancastor, Marlon, ?4 Chester, McDow, of York, Hydrictc, ol Spartanburg, and from Charleston: Bacot, MltJltel , Sinkler and Gad.-den, and from this muster of fine young gentlemen the State must look for some of the leaders in tin near future who are to take care of her political fortunes. Of course, mod esty forbids our putting the bright array representing 1.aureus in the .category. And of course there are Others. Wednesday at 12 111. both bodies met In joint assembly antl held memorial services in honor of Gov. Ellorbo.? President Pro Tent. Shepperd pre sided. Rev. W. K. Richardson, a dis tinguished Methodist divine delivered an eloquent prayer. Appropriate re solutions were moved by Senator Brown and eloquent addresses spoken by the mover. Senators: Livingston, Henderson, Aldrich and Appell and Representatives M ntgomery.Mo$8,Hy drick, Bacot and McGullough. A broad tire bill lias passed the Sen ate antl will likely pass the other hotly. It docs not affect light vehicles, but after 100-1 heavy vehicles must have broad tires. I We haven't space for the Bill anil until it passes the particulars are useless.) A Bill has passed the House which gives a pr< ferenco to counties over private parties to hire convicts to work up ill public works, us highways, fixing the annual price at about $50.00. (On the right track.) Both Houses, (the 10th being Gen. Lee's birthday, took a recess until Monday at noon. The Dispensary has not been seriously tackled as yet and all parties walking around it and shinnying On either side as though it were loaded, and it is. * * * What Hie Census Will Show. Among ot her things the census will show as to this town that its popula tion has about trebled In the last de cade. That a cotton oil mill with a plant, lncluiling an ice factory and cold stor age plant, worth sixty thousand dol lars has been established antl is paying ten and liftoen per cent. That a steam laundry has been es tablished, that two bonded ware houses have been established, that a new union passenger depot has been built, that a lino system of graded schools has been established and a splendid school building and lot pur chased, that the main street of the town for two miles lias been macada mized, that ccno-nt pavements have beon laid in the business portion of the town, that a BUCCe88ful bank has been established, perhaps two, two having been established previously. That a cotton mill with a plant worth seven hundred anil llfty thou sand dollars has been established and Is paying handsome dividends, that threo of the handsomest and most costly churches in tho state have been built, that the Columbia, Xewherry and Laurens raihoad has been ex tended to this city, that a system of water works has been Installed, that a system of electric ligh's has been In stalled. Besides these achievements of a more or less public character, scores of nourishing stores and private enter prises havo been milled and arc now Ero8pering. Houses by the hundreds ave been erected, including a par ticularly handsome hotel anil many beautiful and costly private resi dences. Nevertheless, during this de cado Laurens suffered a series id' calamitous fires and went through a stage of extreme business depression. For the last (Wo or six years there ha been scarcely any Important business failures and the business of tho com munity seems to tie generally on a sound foundation. All this has been done with little blowing about it. The year 15)00 opens with all business con ditions more promising than ever for further development, What has been done In the past ten years can be done ten times over with less strain than tho former required. What Is the next step In tho for '^rsr^rrMu-oh ? Mr. W. R. Crawford, while a State Constable had the misfortune to kill a Mrs. Stewart. lie was acquitted and we think properly. Mr. Crawford asks the Legislature to make an appro priation to pay the expenses of his de fense and presents the following bill: st atem KN'T. To counsel fees to Smith &: Clark. . $150.00 To counsel foes to ('. L.Blca e, 145.00 To oash railroad fare, etc.,.. .'!2.7? To cash to Dr. Watson for dressing wound. 2.on To 100 elays, suspended boforo being discharged,. 2IH.00 $017.70 W. R. Crawford, Kx-sttite Constable. Wo think tho Dispensary should pay this bill.
