F. H. !ULL. EmTot. 00LUMM[I LETrTER. Columbia, January 20-Oae week ol the legislature session driws to a close tonight. Both houses got right down to work without cereLaony. Qaite a number of new bills have been present ed and many of the old ones have beeo killed and withdrawn from the calen dars. The more important measureE have been made special orders for this week. The elections will come up tomorrow The judges' election has been agreed tc for tomorrow. The House tried to hav( the others pulled off last week but thE Senate decided to take a recess fron: Friday to Monday night as has been it. custom for many years and of cours( no elections can be held before tomor row. The Senate will reconvene to night at 8 o'clock. Four of the present circuit judgei will stand for re-election and will hav( no opposition. Mr. C. G. Dantzler wil have no opposition as the successor o: Judge Bennet since Mr. Burke of Char leston has withdrawn. Mr. Dantzlei is from Orangeburg and is young mar and a good lawyer and will wear the er mine with credit to himself and honoi to his state. There are still three candidates it the race as the successor of Judge Buch anan. Mr. R. D. Purdy and Mr T. B. Fraser, both of Sumter, and Mr George Galletly of Florence' The candidates for members of thi State board of dispensary directors ar( still very active. The sentiment seemE to favor a re-election of the old board bni it is impossible to forecast the result Two candidates have withdrawn fron this race-Mr. W. McB. Sloan of Co lumbia and Mr. Bomar of Spartanburg but that still leaves seven candidatei - for three places. There seemed to be some doubi whether the appointment of State libra rian -which was made by the governoz -was for the unexpired term or only un til the Legislature could elect. In or der to have no uncertainty about it the Senate has decided that the best play is to elect. This, no doubt, is the easies1 course. I do not hear of any opposi tion to Miss LaBorde, the young lady who was appointed by the governor, She is a very competent and a very de serving young lady, and I hope she will be unanimously elected. Several bills have been introduced looking to a better control of the trusts. I doubt if anything will result of ben efit to the State from it all. Mr. Kibler has introduced a bill tc repeal the lien law. It should be adopted * but there should be some time given tc let all parties interested adjust them selves to the new conditions. The lien law, however, should be repealed. It is doing more to keep the country in bad condition than any other law, and wil] continue to keep the farmer with~ his nose to the grindstone. * Mr. Kibler has also renewed his bill for a State insurance examiner. While the purport of this bill is good I doubt if It gets through at this session. - . Quite a nnmber of Newberrians were in the city last week. E. H.A. The ferries at Kempson's and Bouk night's, we have been informed, are both badly in need of repairs, and it has been suggested to us by certain citizens of that section that it would be a good plan to build a steel brii ge at a ,point between Kempson's and Bouk nlght's. At a point about a helf mile above Kempson's and about a mile be low )3ouknight's at a spot knowna as the Alligator Rock an iron span of 200 feet could be built that would span the stream and be above high water mark. The approaches on the Newberry side would be only about 50 feet long and on the Saluda side about 75 feet. Right of - way, so we have been informed, could be secured without cost to the counties. The distance would not be increased for but four or five families and for them hardly a mile, for the road after cross ing the river would intersect the Bouk night Ferry road but a short distance from Bouknight's, and for the great majority the distance between New berry and Saluda would be slightly les sened. Some money will have to be spent soon on these two ferries if the present arrangement continues, and it is suggested that the county authorities look into the matter and see if it would not be possible and wise to abandon the two ferries and build a bridge midway between that would answer all purposes served by the two ferries. Bachman Chapel and Union Academy Chipe Rev. P. H. E. Derrick, of Sandy Run, preached at Bachman Chapel last Sun day morning. He preached a most ex cellent sermon from Psalms 84:7. We understand that this pastorate, consist ing of M t. Olivet, Bachmnan Chapel and St Philips has extended a call to Rev. Derrick to preach the balance of the synodical year, and that it is more than likely he will accept the call. The type fell wrong on us in several places in our last letter, but we shall not mrake any corrections only in the paragraph that made us say, "You vnii~t. Qub nit vnur~elves to be teachers old times when our whole force was in good writing order. Come, dear friends, - wake up to a sense of your duty; let us I hear from you all often as we tippreci - ate every one of your letters, and for s gracious sake help me to wake up our t old friend Josh Trump, Le- na and all the rest. s Misses Katie Sloan and LUila Boland 1 of Little Mountain are visiting in this a section the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Epps and family. Mr. Epps gave a t pound social in honor of them last e night, and we suppose the young folks t had a jolly old time. t Mr. and Mrs. T. L. B Epps' little -- 3-year old daughter is suffering with a d severe case of grip. Colds are gene e rally prevailing. - We have a tip top school teacher in f the person of Miss Gora Dominick, and - that means a tip top school. Miss Cora c is more than an ordinary lady in every e respect. a Our New Year thoughts are crowded r out of this letter. CHIPS.

There has been more moving an changing around among our white pec ple throughout the lower part of th county than I ever knew before in on season. There is a great deal of mear ing in so much moving.

Mrs. Beard is having con siderable improvements done on bei dwelling. it's a fact that the principal part ol the oat crop is dead, and owing to the high price of corn and other food it's sad fact. We are not prepared to say sow more oats, because we believe il this were taken as advice it would b( wrong advice, from the fact that seed oats is scarce aad very high, besides, spring oats is a very uncertain crop. Now, dear farmers, so to speak, we are in the ditch. Wha& I mean to say is, times are hard, and they are going to be harder. Hard times have bean a song for a good while, but they are here now in reality. But I don't mean to create an*y alarm. There isn't but one way to get out of this distressed op pression, and that is to come right square down to a line of economy. We have got to deny ourselves of so much sciety living, especially if we have to give liens and make bank notes to keep it up. There is just lots of nice things in this world we would like to have, and we would like for our children to have them, but if we have them to buy with other people's money we had far better let them alone. Now is the time to take warning. Right now is the important time. There is no use in cursing the merchants, bankers and guano agents after you have bought more than your little cotton crop can pay. I could write columns upon this subject, but I see no use, for the people are going to do just as they please any wa; or in other words, a great many f us are going to do just as that other lass will allow us to do.
