E. H. AULL. ENTou. LEGISLA'IIVE REV[ L.W. The editor of The Herald and News was laid up last week with the grip. He has been ordered home by the phy sician with strict insiructions not to leave his room. Therefore he cannot well give a letter from Columbia, but will try to fill the column with such matter as may prove interesting to the readers of The Herald and News. ** Did yqi ever have the grip? Then you know something about it. This is our first experience and we sincerely hope it may be our last. Our doctor says all we have'to do is to stay in doors and be careful. That is very hard to dounless you are too sick to be up, but we are trying hard to obey the orders of the physician for we are told that the grip is a very insidious disease. In the elections last week the legis lature has done very well. The pres ent judges who desired re-election had no opposition. The successors of Judges Benet and Buchanan are good men and lawyers of ability and will adorn the bench in South Carolina. In addi tion they are young men and will bring the vigor of youth to the discharge of their duties. It was well that the old board of dispensary directors was re elected. The affairs of this institution during their term has been well man aged and we have bad no scandals, and in that case it was well to let well enough alone. We omitted to men tion that Cole L. Blease was elected to succeed Prof. W. K. Sligh on the board of trustees of the Colored State College at Orangeburg. Newberry has had representation on this board since the organization of the college. It was a pleasure to us that Miss LaBorde was elected State librarian without opposi tion. She is a most excellent and a most deserving young woman and the legislature did well in retaining her. * * Mr. McGowan's redistricting bill has passed the house. It leaves the third district just as it is at present and that is the only one which directly concerns the people of Newberry. The bill has not yet passed the Senate but it is very probable that it will with possibly a - few amendments. Of course there Is opposition to this bill as tbere would be to any plan and it was st\rprising with what unanimity the McGowan . plan passed the house. Our friend and former schoolmate, the Hon. Preston Brooks Mayson of Edgefield had a very far reaching mea sure which he was urging. It propose d to give the farmer or land owner a lien for supplies or advances, in addition to .his lien for rent, priority without a written contract and without recording. Mr. Mayson made an eloquent speech In favor of his bill and it was then killed. Mr. Kibler of Newberry had a bill to put,geese, ducks, and fowls generally under the provisions of the stock law along with cows and hogs. A fter strik ing out chickens the bill passed the house. It Is a good bill for a flock of geese or ducks can do as much damag e to a wheat field as a drove of cattle. Only chickens should have been in. 'eluded. A proposition has been presented to the legislature in 'the shape of a bill to establish by the State a big fertilizer factory, and while the State fights the fertilizer trust to inaugurate a big trust on its own account. It may be that the gentlemen who present the proposition think the best way to fight the devil is with fire, and if the attorney general can't get the legislature to enact anti trust laws sufficiently strong to drive the trusts from the State we may be able to do it by establishing a big fer tilizer factory to be operated by con victs. The proposed bill reads as fol lows and has passed the house: Section 1. That a commission consist ing of three members of the general as sembly, two of whom shall be appointed by the speaker of the house and one of whom shall be appointed by the presi dent of the senate, be and the same is hereby created, for the purpose of in quiring into the advisability of estab lishing and operating a fertilizer plant in this State with the convicts of the State penitentiary. "Sec. 2. That it shall be the duty of the said commission to make careful inquiry into the question of location, cost of materials, machinery, plant, operating expenses and any other mat ters pertinent to the manufacture and sale of fertilizers in this State, with a view to operating such fertilizer plant with convicts from the State peniten tiary. "Sec. 3. That said commission shall report its findings, conclusions and re commendations to the next general assembly, and shall receive as compen satien a per diem of four dollars each day for the time actually employed in the investigation, not to exceed 15 days, and mileage at the rate of 5 cents per mile." It may be if this committee reports favorably that we can have cheap fer tilizers. The good roads trains on the South ern has already reached Columbia and will be there during the week. The convention is to be held on the 30th and 31st. It is near by Newberry and offers an admirable opportunity for our people to run down and see some good roads built and learn something of their construction.

The in vitation has already been extended and accepted and on those two days the legislature will ad->urn and go to Charleston. Two weeks of the session have now been concluded and Lot a great deal has been accomplished. It is true the elections are all out of the way and a great many bills have been buried, but the calendars are still heavy and there is much impt)rtant work before the legislature * * * The Senate adjourned on Friday night over to Monday night. Mr. Jas. T. Harris, owner of the Spartanburg Daily Herald, has bought the Truth newspaper and will run it in connection with the Semi-weekly Herald. Gen. J. L. Stoppelbein who was the owner and editor of the Truth will resume the practice of law. The high prices of corn and oats should be a warning to our farmers to plant heavily of these crops this year and then to give them attention after they are planted. Farming in this country can only be made profitable when our farmers learn to make their own bread and meat on the farm. Those farmers who follow this plan always make some money on the farm it matters little what the price of cot ton is. Now that the bond s have been sold and the survey of the town made, we hope there will not be much more de lay in the matter of patting in the syE tem of sewerage voted by the town last year. Would it not be a good idea for the legislature to revoke the charter of the guano trust and pass Senator May field's bill to establish a State fertil izer manufactory?-Ex. Then why not establish one big wagon and buggy manufactory and supply the farmers with these imple ments. Or manufacture the plow shares and plowstocks? The Yorkville Yoeman, we are sure, unintentionally does Senator Appelt an injustice. Mr. Appelt has made a good senator and is not "very annoying" to the senators by asking constantly for in formation. The trouble with the crit icism of the Yoeman is that it is based on a statement taken from another paper hostile to Senator Appelt, which state ment was untrue. It is just as well to be fair even in dealing with your ene mies. THE CH ARLE8TON EXPOSITION. A Newberrian Now in Charleston Writes of the Beautiful and Wonderful Sights to be Seen There at This Time. Charleston, S. C., Jan. 21, 1902. The Herald and News: Your correspondent thinks it high time he was writing a few words from this busy and beautiful city of historic interest, pleasant memories and asso ciations, and Exposition enterprise and progress. Since the departure of the representa tives of the State Press Association, which numbered about eighty, more or less, including Gov. McSweeney's baby, there has been rapid and remarkable advancement at the Ivory city, as the Exposition inclosure is popularly called. From the time the visitor sees the buildings, brilliant with electric lights as he looks from the windows of the Southern train arriving from New berry in the evening, until he prome nades the grounds and palaces, it is one round of delight, despi1e the fact that some things rema~n to be placed in position. Considering the weather, the diffi culties and the drawbacks, the promo ters of the Exposition deserve great praise and encouragement for sur mounting the huge obstacles and suc cessfully launching this,. vast place of benefit and amusement, instead of be ing discouraged in their laudable un dertaking. There is enough to be seen to fill the visitor with wonder and amazement and as he takes it all in he can but ac knowledge that the Exposition was a stupendous undertaking. It is an im mense affair from beginning to end, and a worqder and marvel to all except a few croakers who are dissatisfied be cause they have been unsuccessful in their own schemes in connection there with. Such is the weakness of human. nature in some instances. Parties who have been to the various Expositions say that the site of the Charleston Exposition is the most beau iful of them all, and the arrangement of the buildings the most complete and satisfactory. The crowds are increasing from all irections here, and the trolleys are oaded with visitors to the Exposition, oth strangers and residents, who show by their going and returning that they are well pleased with what they see. Not wanting to be tiresome this will do for once. R. Hf. G. 1 PaIRDON ASKED FOR.

U CONDUCTOR 0. E. HUGHES. 'aptain Hughes to be Transferred to the Columbia and Asheville Division. Captain Ifughes, who has been run ning conductor on the Columbia and (Greenville division of the Southern road for about 25 years, is to be transferred February ist to the Columbia and Ashe ville division. The announcement will be a source of regret to Captain Hughes' many friends along the C. & G. He has been coming to Greenville so often and for so many years that he is considered one of us and there is no conductor on any road who has more friends, not only in Greenville, but along the entire route of the Green ville and Columbia division than Capt. 0. E. Hughes. It is reported that there will be an en tirely new crew on the C. & G. division after the first of February. The train leaving here now at 9:40 a. m. will after that time run from Greenville through Columbia to Augusta instead of from Greenville to Columbia only as hereto fore.-Greenville News, 23d.

It was at ( dirst thought to be mad; it killed aLd ate a goose for Mr. Berley Cromer, ran in the house and bit his little boy, Dlin, and ran off. The dog was tied and id the little boy carried at onee to he madstone. It was applied but did not take.
