The State, Monday Jan. 27. The second week of the general as sembly has closed with only a few bills of general interest passed in the house. The most imp tant of these-perhaps is the lien law repeal, which is now before the senate, having passed third reading in the house Saturday. There is a similar bill in the senate and the two will probably be combined by committee on conference or by amendments in one of the houses. There now remains as a special order the bill by Representative Hydrick to prohibit liens on any except growing crops and Mr. Richards, the leader in the repeal of the law, and Mr. Hydrick are confident that this bill will also ipass. I The house has, temporarily at least, put a stop to the efforts of the news jpapers of the State to obtain an equit able libel law. Early in the week the l)ill introduced hy Mr Aull, which was ^framed after consultation with a com mittee of the South Carolina Press as sociation, was killed by a large major Sty. Another bill will he drawn for the next session, however, f In the house there are a number of xailroad bills che calendar, but these nave not cv- . up for debate yet or pave been o icted to when uncontested ?patters we j taken up. In view of Jhe special message from Gov. Ansel on ailway legislation and the fact that he senate now has before it a railroad ill it is probable that there will be no onsideration until something has been one by the senate. On the calendar for special orders are he two bills on compulsory education, ntroduced by Representatives Aull and crshaw, and the substitute bill by the committee. These bills will come up today or tomorrow and little opposition is anticipated in *.he passage of the substitute. A special {order for Tuesday is the senate bill, providing that the State shall pay the traveling expenses of circuit juiges, now paid by those offi cials out of their salary. Another bill, this from Mr. Lawson, provides for the erection of a supreme court building, but in view of the debate going on in the senate over the same proposition it is probable that the house will wait until some action has been taken by the upper house. The house has fixe 1 Wednesday as the day for memorial exercises on the deaths of Representatives Epting of Lexington and McArthur of Cherokee.

Executors, 26-4t ] RUT HASN'T "JOE" ALRKAPY ARRIVED? Washington Paper Makes Some Observa? tions on Congressman Johnson, Who "Has Set His Way to Fame." Mr. Thomas H. Daniel sends the Spartanburg Herald the following story from Washington: The Washington Times of Saturday printed the following article relative to Representative Johnson, of Spartan burg: "Representative .loseph T. Johnson, of South Carolina, has set his way to fame. "He never makes a speech in the House. He is always silont as the desert. He wastes no time coining anguage. But he is as busy as a los ing politician looking for 1,000 votes. Never a speech is made in the House that Johnson doesn't walk boldly, not to say ostentatiously, to a seat close to the speaker, and Kit there im movably, listening to what is said. He never is absent from a session of the House. Just before the House ad journs ho goes to the cloakroom, puts on his coat and, with his hat in his hand, parades slowly and impressively down the middle aisle on the Demo cratic side. "Thus is the observant public in the galleries shown that Mr. Johnson, of South Carolina, after a busy day of close attention to the work of legisla tion, is about to go to his home for a little much-needed rest. "Mr. Johnson has set his way to fame." The Times indulges its well-known propensity for rhyming hoadlines by publishing tho above under the "step ping-stone" caption of "JOHNSON EARNS PAY LISTENING EACH DAY TO WHAT OTHERS SAY.' Nows is not the long suit of the Washington Times, but it will be news to anyone who knows plain Joe John son to learn that he "parades slowly and impressiyely down the middle aisle'' in order to show himself to the observ ant public in the galleries, or to anyone else. It is truo that Mr. Johnson is losing no timo "coining language" in the present session. Rut Joseph G. Can non, the autocrat of the United States, is the explanation of that fact. Any one who knows congressional custom knowH that ten speeches on the floor of tbc House are not worth one in the committee room. When Mr. Johnson appears before a committee he shows th?t he knows the subject in all its re lations. And this, in fact, is the test of a representative's value to his con tjtuency. The speeches on the floor are for "home consumption" very largely; the arguments before commit tees are the spoechoa that count in legislation, and these are not published in the Record, Builds up waslo tissue, promotes ap petite, improves digestion, induces re areshing sleep, gives renewed strength and health that's what Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea does. 35c, Tea or ^ablets.

FRIENDS ARE ANXIOUS Talk of Presenting His Name to the State Democratic Convention in May Qoing on in l.aurens. For the past several days the friends of Mr. N. B. Dial, the prominet Lau* rens lawyer, banker and mill president, have been discussing his name in con nection with the delegation at largo from South Carolina to the National Democratic Convention which meets in Denver.

South Carolina will send fourteen district representatives and four delc gates-at-large to the Denver conven tion, and they will be chosen by the State Democratic Convention at Co lumbia in May. The trip to Denver is a long and ex pensive one. but Mr. Dial is a thor oughly patriotic citizen and Democrat, and always stands ready to use his means and influence for his party. His Laurens friends say they are very anx ious to have his name presented to the State Convention, and in the event of the honor falling to him all know that his selection will reflect credit upon the State, as it has in the past. In 1888 Mr. Dial was one of the dele gates to the St. Louis Convention which nominated Grover Cleveland for President the second time and Allen G. Thurman for Vice President. Mr. T. N. Barksdale s Condition. The news Monday from Mr. Thos. N.
