Among some of tho general lawi Of Interest aro tho following: To ap proprlate $60,000 to tho schools oi Pouth Carolina; to further regulate the sale of feodlng stuffs, the correei weighing, marketing, etc., and the en forcement of this act in the cominls sioner of agriculture. This means thai there will bo a strict watch kept or. the food products, such as corn, men and other such things coming Into this state from other states. It is an aci that haB been needed for some time. A bill was passed making disorder!] conduct on passenger trains a mlsele meanor. People who want te> cut u| on trains hereafter will find them selves facing a misdemeanor offense need for tho protection of certain fra . ternal organizations, Knights of l'yth ? las and others. A law was passed , giving such organizations the exclu j slve uso of the nutncs adopted by thoin. This Is supposed to be an net to pro tect white organizations against their colored Imitators. A law of great interest to lawyers . and others is one' requiring the can . collation of all real estate and ehat . tel mortgages and judgments in the ,. different counties of the state to be entered upon the margins of the In . dexea thereof. This Is simply a time . saving device in looking up records , but It means work, careful and pains taking work, for the clerks of the r respective counties. 1 Provision was made for the exntni - nation and registration of trained - nurses, something which has not been required before. So much interest has j been aroused all over the country in - the last few years in all matters por . tabling to pure food that it is not ; surprising to find a number of meas ures tending to further the safeguard F of supplies of food. > A bill on this order is one authoriz ing towns containing "?,00 Inhabitants > or more to establish or permit the es i tahlishment of slaughter pens beyond their corporate limits. The attention ? of the whole state has been directed ? to the slaughter pen maintained in > Greenville commonly known at the ? abattior. This slaughter house is un der the direct supervision of the city > health Inspector of Greenville and ? he sees t oil that no impure meat is offered for sale In the city of Green f Vilie. No diseased animals can be . offered for sale in the city of Greon - vilie. No diseased animals can be > offered for sale after being slaugh tered as he is there and personally Insepcts every animal before and after i death. Hereafter cities and towns which so f desire can have a public weigher for i coal, unbaled hay, cattle, cotton seed, I etc., and in addition a public weigher for baled cotton. The legislature made it a crime to t mult Mate any monument or fence en i closing a monument. It also estab 1 llshed a public service commission to 5 fix and establish in all cities of this t state rates and charges for the supply of water, gas, or electricity f?r? f nished by any person, firm or corpora - tlon to such city and the inhabitants > thereof, and to prescribe penalties. The income tax amendment to tin . constitution of the United Stales was THE LAURENS ADVERTISER, 1 corned. Dispensary Money. People all over the state have been anxious to know what will he done with the money turned Into the state treasury by the Wlndlng-up commis sion ol* the old dispensary. Those in terested in the schools of the state had hoped it would he made into a school fund for the Immediate benefit of the public schools but the state treasurer is directed to hold these funds for tho present. Col. .lames Henry Rice, while not getting exactly what he wanted for the protection of birds of the state, was given some additional laws for the Audubon society which can prob ably be enlarged to cover the scope desired by him by the next legisla ture. Asylum Proposition. The asylum proposition created more talk and Interest than any other matter before the legislature and noth ing definite was done until the very last hours of the session. The prop osition to vote $1.000,000 in bonds for the erection ol* two big modern plants was voted down in both House and Senate. The Other proposition to gl'rtd. ually build another plant on the out skirts of Columbia was not entirely accepted and SO substitute measure was filially adopted. The legislature t>assed the appropriation bill which calls for about $150,000 more than last years approprilioil bill; it provided for the display of the state Hag over public buildings; it petitioned Con gress for the return to the state of South Carolina its proportionate part of the share of tho cotton tax unlaw fully collected by the Federal govern ment alter the war. The pistol toting law was amended to further regulate the sale of carry ing pistols. It is now by an act of this legislature lawful for clerks of courts of gemioral sessions to open and publish sealed sentences and to make such sentences when opened and published as effective as when op ened and published in open court. People who are fond of pointing a pistol or gun at another would better stop this practice as the legislature has made it a misdemeanor to point a pistol or gun at another, whether in tloil is playful or not. The question of increasing the num ber of associate justices of the su preme court from three to four which has to come in the form of an amend ment to tin* constitution, is to be sub mitted to the voters of the state in the ?AUKENS, S. C, MARCH 2, W10. When It All Started. . When Adam met Eve he was bashful i and shy, i And be stammered and blushed every time she came nigh. Till at last he grew bold and began to pay court (You may put all your trust In this faithful report). And he murmured to her on an even ing serene: "You're the prettiest girl that 1 ever have seen"? And that's how that started. When Eve, with a beautiful blush on her face, Yielded shyly and sweetly to Adam's embrace, And put up her red Hps for the true lovers' pact (You may set all this down as an ab solute fact,) She inquired, While lie breathed the fond names on his list: "Have you said that to all of the girls you have kissed " And that's how that started. When Adam asked Eve If she would be his bride, She looked up and looked down, 2nd she sighed and she sighed, And she let him take hold of her lily white hand (This Is history now, as you must un derstand), Then she said, in a voice that was dulcetly low: "I must take time to think. 'Tis so sudden, you know." And that's how that started. When they had been married a few years or so, Then Adam told Eve: "We're invited to go To a dinner and dance with some friends down in Nod." (This is truly authentic, although it sounds odd.) Eve replied with a sad and a sorrow ful airs "I can't go. Don't you see I have noth ing to wear?" And that's how that started. Wilbur D.
