S, C., Feb. 12, 11)02. Our Solous. Tho red ist rioting Bill (McGownn's) wnsa#poeia order for yesterday. It will be several days under lire, and thore will be much wrangling. During last week a great delegation from St. Louie, in the interest ' the Louisiana Purohase Exposition, visited our Grand Capitol and addressed the Soloes in jo nt session urging that tho Stale send a big exhibit and build a house for Its accoutodaiion. We couldn't do better with our little money than advertise our State and her re sources. Coopiv has a bill lo create a 1 aurons County Fluking fund commission. This strikes us as promising good for the county. Our county debt is an awk ward stump and wo are continually stubbing our sore too upon it. Our County tax is 7 mills, and .'1 is for inter est on a debt twenty years old. We should gradually reduce the debt and very soon a one mill tax will meet it and then we can make good roads and other needed Improvements. Sevoral Hills have boen ratified and aro now Acts: The New Jury Law: To put a stop to 'cannon crackers; and a dozen others of no interest to our intel ligent loader." (who pay tho piper). Thore is a Laurons Bill, we believe, to enable the City School Trustees to charge a small incidental fee. There was a Stout fight in tho House on the resolution not to puy the Solons for the two lays they are absent In Charleston, but it fell*by the way side and the statesmen had the stuff to in Indulge their oysters, and buy the morning paper. In 1901 Little Mountain a part of tho dominion of Lexington voted Itself with 08 inhabitants into Newberry county. Oranjiobnrg thereupon, claim ed one representative from Lexing ton. It lost--W88 a funny debate and Orangeburg should have the member. Redlstrieting was a 8 ecial order for yesterday in the Senate and other im portant matters. The Legislature did the handsorao thing in sending a committee to the depot to welcome Teddy to tho State as he passed Columbia. One lone vote against it. Both bodies hard at work. Nothing important will likely be done exc-po Supply and Appropriation bill*. Lau rens levy will bo about as usual, 5 for Stato, .1 for Genera School, tit or 1 for County purposes?about 14 mills. Lo k for i.^'j Mivnment the 20th or 21st. Child Labor. After a hard light child labor in the Goi.oral Assembly was killed. It was very well, considering the manufactur ing conditions In the state. As wo have before urged manufactures are In leading strings in this State and the proposed legislation was premature The mat'er of child labor is no great evil as ye*. When in fact manufac tures assume Importance, the demand to regulate child labor will come, when tho hills aro capped with smoke stacks and the roar of machinery is hoard all around. Tho texti'o industries will probably grow. It seems to bo uncon tradictec1 hat tho South can produce cotton to . .iy extent?only limited by the capital and labor supplier. As ag riculture ceuses to be profitable labor as well as the dollar will ceaso to fool with it?men do r.ot Idle away mufele nor money. Tho fine will come when every stick of timber, rawhide, bone and feather will be. subjected in this State to skilful handling, and be come materials of woalth instead of waste. It is therefore wise for the peoplo of this State to encourage by every means tho present tendency to multiply industries for thoso whoso destiny is to work. Ticklish. In redlstrieting tho State for Con gressional representation tho General Assembly every ten years (or new cen sus) has a delicate job. Counties or divisions must bt> placed so as to soctre "compact" and "contiguous" territory. The difficulty arises in avoiding put ting two incumbent Congressmen in the same District?as one In such case would necessarily have to go overboard. Here oomes In the "politics," trading, scheming, and wire pulling. To Illus trate?here is a young Demosthenes who thinks he could lift the rafters at Washington?in la t campaign, woll called "spoil-binders"?he agrees with an Incumbent to vote to fix to suit h'm on condition that ho retire after a torm and throw the weight of h's m'ghiy influence In favor of the coming Oaf hnun. And thus there aro a thousand trick-, and maneuvers in the scramble for political place. Ye Olden Times. A good lady of Waterloo, In this county, a most estimable matron, basin her possession about seventy-five yards of hompspun cloth, that can scarcely be anywhere parallelled. The cotton of which the goods wero mado was raised at home on her own lauds, card ed, spun, and woven into cloth by her own hands. She Is a rare survivor of many housewifely ladles who wero an honor to our ante-bellum civilization, who wero tho gracious mistresses of unpretentious but raro'y comfortable homes. While our Solons are down In Char leston lis.oning at the chimes of old St. Mlehad, gazing into the gaudy show windows and seeing tho white elophant and the black swan In tho al luring Midway, don't forget.that Con gress sits. Holuon and Sohley aro on the road; the ^President goes to Charleston on Lincoln's birth day Feb. 12th; and Prlnco Henry, brother of Kmneror of Germany, arrives in Now York on the 22d lust., Washington's natal day. *** "- - ??sect How's This; We offer Odo Hundred Dollars Re ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Washington, February 0.?JolT Rich ardson, of the Greenville News, who was recently appointed postmaster at, Greenville, was hero to ascertain who is blook'ng his confirmation. He did not have to go far to find out that he is stubbornly opposed by Senator Tlllmau. Senators Tillman and MoLaurln are divided on the subject and the Presi dent has had both of the South Caro lina Senators at the White House re cently, with the hope that a compro mise of some kind might be rescued which would result in the confirmation of Mr. Kichardsor. It is understood that Senator Till man refuses to withdraw his opposition on the ground that Richardson has gone out of his way to heap personal abuse upon him through the columns of bis newspaper. Senator Tillman declines to accept any explanation or permit tho responsibility for tho objec tionable articles to be phlftcd to other shoulders than those of Mr. Richard son's. In his opposition to Mr. Richard son on personal grounds he Is sustain ed by a long lin > of Senatorial prece dents and, unless be can bo induced to yield to the appeals of Mr. Rich-rd 8on's friends, the indications are that tho appointment will fall of confirma tion.?News and Courier. Our readers will readily recall that when Senator Tillman begun bis political career (careoring as it were) be ta ked about having a"stumpy road" to travel. Now it seems he is stud ding tho paths of others with Edge lield pino knots and Santeo Cypress knees. Benjamin is "a hard road to travel." Ed advertiser. Washington, 1). 0., F. b. 5.?The Rev.

There is a proposition in Congre-s to raise all salaries fixing the Presidents at $100,030.00. There is a proposition in our Legislature for tho State to enter upon a business that would require a hundred salaried ofli cors. In the Senate.
