Those recess committees are holiday parties and good rarely coiueu of them, a member of tin* Leg islature ought io be ubl? to provide suitable leji slution for the State upon any and all interests. A member of the I ogislal uro who will study the fish ques tion and doviso legislation which will opon our streams clear for shad und other harbor tish may be Governor and rule the roost in this Stale. A story is. told ol >he erection Of a dam at the mouth of the Saludu eighty years ago which obsl ueted the passage of shad. When March came a party of a half do/.en bold eitl/ous of Waterloo got on their horses and riding down lo Colum bia out a grcut sluice tu the dam and mounted their geldings for home.? Win-it th J reached l'uekot's ferry, live miles from Waterloo, their neigh bors were catching si.ad by hundreds. Tho lish out-ran the rulers. If the inline of the leader of this p.it'ty were given those who know his character would not doubt the story.

So, fol low citizens, p ich your crops, and "cut your patching" accordingly Tin- appropriations, including Stute Colleges, have all passed after consider able expend! ure of elocution, and it is claimed that they are about $40,000 larger than last year Members of the House think that our College Professors get too large salaries and ns they aro paid less than In other States the ques tion is ask d why this criticism The answ. r lies probably in the fact that tho Legislators are not. tho Professors. A broad tire bill has boon side* track* d to next session lu the senate a ohild labor bill has be n the victim of much rhetoric. As a matter of fact the Senate can boast of much of the Domoslhenean quality, Mist- ning senates to command) its members surrender reluctantly to the cold facts, ligures and refrigerator fashion of the day. It is a good time for a Stale Sen t or lo die if he wants to bo sure of a proper memorial tribute. To recur lo appropriations: It Is for tunate that he Chairman of Ways and Means of ? ho I louse,is an old soldier and not to he frightened. In the interest in? debate upon disposing of tho shekels of the state he assure I the House that the ordinary levy would cover the de mands. There are some curious leaks about Columbia. The roof of tho State House annually has to have a natch or so - the tin or tiling turned topsy-turvy, aud a fow hundred dollars are needed every year. Then there is tho Mansion on Arsenal Hill annually demands re painting or white-washing if you pre fer) and tho iogiHlng boards are con st, i n t' y kept III mind. The climate of Columbia is bad on public buildings. Adjutant General Floyd has pub lished recently a history of South Caro lina's part in the Cuban war aud a member wanted che State to buy 1200 copies. An old and WCttlher-boaten con fed -aid that the S. C. troops in that war never h-ard a gun lire, slept in the. snow a i inch deep, burnt a fence rail, or robh -t an old ladys hen's roost and that the Confederate rolls are not published. The prooosilion tied. Hut as said above, so long us we havo the money, it might as well b? put in <-ir culat on. The L?nens levy lor another year. For Sla'e. purposes, live mills. l?'or cons ilublomtl school lax. three mills. for ord'ii?'V e nuty tux, two and one-fourth mills. For interest on ru I road bond?, throe mills. For road purposes, one mill. For past indebtedness, otic-fourth of ono mill. Total, I \* mills, tin inen aso of ! mill, but 1 mill goes to road work, which was not in last yiar's bill. We think the members of the house wise t > put on th i one mill tax to help our roads. Surely nobody can object to this. Ue-distr'Ming goes over till noxt ses sion, so of county salaries. This last was a ridiculous piece of business as tboro is much confusion, confounded at that, as to this salary and fe i business for the. 86V?ral counties. The legislator who is re. ponslble for this continuance should find out tho geographical lo cality of political Coventry. McMoster, Of Columbia, introduced resolutions condemnatory of McLail rln's political course at Washington. Citizen Ashley very properly mude the point that McLaurin was already con demned and that the resolutions woro useless. McLaurin is greatly con demned for h;.s at (tilde now, but tho futuro may loll a different tale. At any rate nobody ovor heard of a sena tor ill congress resigning hlfl position with salary attach moot ol live thou sand dollar* at tin- instance of across road politician. This resolut;on how ever ernaautos from the capital of the sand hill region of South Carolina and it may probe the sensibilities of tho curly headed Senator of the great cot ton county of the Lastern part ol the State.

Mr. Goo. Robertson, of Pel/er, S. O., to mourn his death, Mr. .lohn W. lieeks wont to Laurens Tuesday on business and decided that the roads were bad enough.

The farmer who has plenty of corn and bacon at home of his own raising is tho one al together lovely and tho chiefest among ten thousand. It doos not mako any difference with vis what tho prica of cotton may be, wo expect to plant enough corn to satisfy our own de mends, and as far as guano is con cerned w e don't expect to pull our team to i'eath hauling It through the mud.
