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killed and withdrawn from the calen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leston has withdrawn.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Two candidates have withdrawn fron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law, however, should be repealed.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

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.

few days away from their old home.
We have talked to a good many upo
this subject, and have only met on
who favored the plan. Good peoplE
increase the appropriation; give tber
all something, and leave them at horn
with their families and friends. Ther
is no place on earth where they can b
better cared for and better satisfie
than at home among their people.
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

bad crop, next much dissatisfactior

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.
