itr rrI4 and fro COLUMti LEe*Kt. Colinubia, Feb. 10.-- After a ie cese of two d>y. takig in t:w Char leston Ex o ition the legisiature got back down to work today. There remain only eleven working days of this sessiou for the forty day limit expires on the 23rd which is Sun day and the, 22nd being a le,-al holiday adjournment will in all probability be had on the night of the 21st. I felt sure as I stated, that the resolution intro duced to adjourn on the 15th was only a little buncombe indulged in or home consumption. Nothing more has been heard from the resolution and very little has been done and this is the 10th. The general appropriation till was in troduced only last Thursday and no discussion has yet been had on it. The members who went to Charles ton seem to have had a delightful time and speak in very complimentary terms of the Exposition. It was time well spent and I do not think there are any who will regret it. There was some considerable discussion in tho house on Thursday over a resolution to receive no pay for the two days spent at the Exposition and thirty members voted for it, but inasmuch as the resolution was lost I presume they will now feel free to accept this as will the others. Such resolutions as these strike me as narrow and not offtred in good faith, but of course these are exceptions, for I feel sure the member who offered this resolution is conscientious and faithful in the discharge of his duty. still I hate to see the legislator of a big State like South Carolina quibbling over a matter of this kind. It is right, of course, for every wember to watch the leaks in the public treasury and be as economical withithe State's money as a prudent business man would be with his own. The trusts and tie corporations are now about the only matters of public interest to be handled and the redis tricting bill. As I have said before the McGowan bill has passed the house but is now before the Senate. It makes no change in the third district In which New berry is located .The bill to revoke - taie charter of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company has not yet been acted on by the Senate and it is not at all probable that anything will be done on this biJi but that it will die with the session. The bill regulating salaries of county officials his not yet been acted upon. * The appropriation bill this year as report.ed by the committee, carries with it about $43,000 moye than did the one reported a year ago and it was in ex cess of any former appropriation. The * increase is accounted for by the in * crease demanded by the Hospital for the Insane, the increase for Confederate pensions, the increase to Winthrop and .to the Deaf and Blizd Inst itute. And also for the general election a~ hich is to take place during tbis 3 ear. A considerable portion of the time for the balance of the session will be taken up in discussing the appropria -tion bill.* Twenty-nine Acts and joint resolutions have been ratified since the seesion be gan, but only two have been presented to the Governor and he has signed both of these and they are now the law. One is the Act adopting the codeas prepared by the code commissioners and the other is the j-ary law. I want to say without any degree of partiality that the sermon at the Luth eran church in Newberry yesterday morning by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Sea * brook, was one of the best I bave heard in a long time. It was strong and force ful ad delivered with an enthusiasm that showed the preacher felt the truth he was presenting. Sheriff Buford came down to Colum bia yesterday afternooo on the alert for some fugitive from justice. E. H. A. Senator B R Tillman has our thanks for a copy of the latest Congressional Directory. The President's visit to Charleston has been postponed on account of the illness of his eldest son, who has an attack of pneumonia. The jury law as it has passed both branches of the legislature, is printed in full on the outside of this issue. It will no dout stand the test of the con stitution and there will be no further trouble about the trying of jury cases Much good will have been accom plished if tne action of the courts in holding the old jury law to be uncon stitutional will prevent local and spe cial legislation in the future. It seems that some of the Georgia politicians, following the lead of South Carolina, are trying to get up joint de bates for the discussion of national and State issues. The scheme, however, has fallen through on account of the refusal of some of the most prominent politicians to take part. These joic t d ebates in South Carolina lately have degenerated into meetings where the politicians do nothing but heap upco each other's heads abuse and ridicule, and the Georgia states men have done wisely in refusing to take part.

And don't be too sensitive and take everything that is said or done a8 a thrust at you. The Southern Railway is furnishing most excellent service for the Charles ton Exposition and is running four pas seneer trains daily between Columbia and Charleston each way. There it one change on the Greenville & Colum bia division we would like to see anc we believe would meet the approval o: a vast majority of its patrons and tha is to have its train passing here at one o'clock leave Greenville early in the morning so as to reach Columbia by E or 9:30 a. m. and the train from Colum bia to leave there about four o'clock in the afternoon. If that change were made we would have an ideal sched ule that would give persons fron from the up country an opportunity tc go to Columbia and spend several hour: and return home t-he sime night. Beth Eden Items. Mr. B Carlisle has moved into hiE handsome cottage just finished by C. C Davis, of Newberry. We would like t< see more such houses through the coun try.

W. .Bransford, proprietor o the Bransford Mills of Owensboro, Ky. manufacturer of the celebrated "Clii ton" brand of flour, was in the city las week for the purpose of introducinj his flour in this market. Tbe "Clifton" fl:our is not only ono of the finest patent flours made, bu every sack is sold under the registere( trade mark of the Anti-Adulteratioi Laue. Mr. Bransford says he is thu only miller south of-the Ohio river whu is a member of this league, and that ii addition to being under oath not to us' adulterations, the league has his booc for $1,000 to be forfe&ed in case an: alulteration whatsoever is found in hii flour. He says this means more nov than it ever did, as the pure food lav that passed congress two years ago i altogether incorporative. As evidenci of this, he says the Illinois State Puar Food comimission.recenitly anal3zad tbi flour of six mills located in as man~ different States, and found a poisonou mineral called barytes in the produc of every one of them. Tbis mineral n just as white and fine as flour, and can not be detected except by chemnica analysis, but its deleterious effects wit be felt by any one who eats bread made from flour containing it. Having thu Anti-Adulteration League's guarantet of purity is indeed a strong point ii favor of the "Clifton" brand, to saa nothing of its superior quality of high grade patent flour. The "Clifton' will he vigorously pushed in this mar ket, and it has already been place< with Edw. R Hipp and the Palmett< Grocery Co. Advertised Letters.

During the early pat of the session of the legislature ASsistant clerk Mc ('owr, Of the sena'e. was working well into the night in the senate chamber, prep-ring the next day's journal for tnu printer. II, was *ired, weary and worn with his wo:-k and leaned back in his chair to take a litle rest. Looking out of one of the windo,s he saw on the window sill an animal that looked to h im like a coon. lie rubbed his eyes and took another look and decided that it was actually a coon and not an opti cal illusion. On going to investigate the animal disappeared. McCown told tLe story the next morning, but his tale was received! with incredulity, and members were beajd to remark that "McCown must have had 'em last night"; or "Mc Cown is bug house," and other such like impertinent and disrespectful re- I marks. Now Mr. McCown is a man of strict veracity and unquestioned so briety. His friends say that in the lat ter respect be would not know a blind tiger if he ran across one, smething that is liable to happen to any man in Columbia, except state constables and policemen, for many of such animals are at large in the city. Under such circumstances Mr. McCown was much hurt that his truthfulness should be doubted or that imputation should, be cast upon his teetotal principles, and he deter mined to vindicate him.elf. He was constantly on the lokout for the coon. Last week some tracks were discovered in the dust on the fio-r of the engrossing department and ex pert coonists in the legislature pro nouned them genuine coon tracks. McCown began to feei better as he saw' vindication in sight. The night watch-: man added his testimony, saying that be, had seen the animal. Still doubting Thomases in the legislature shook their heads and said night watchmen gen erally slept all night, and his story was but a dream. He and McCown pooled their forces and bought a coon trap and bited it Brer Coon kept clear of it until Thursday night when be walked -into it and was caught. Mc Cown and the watchman feel that they have won a great victory, and are wearing broad smiles over the discom fiture of those who doubted tbeir state-i ments. The animal was on exbibitionl yesterday in the tool house to prove that a coon had actually been inhabit ing the State house. Where it come from or how it got there is unknown, but it is syipposed to be the pet coon of some citizen.--ColumOia Recor d, 8th. fMot hers can safely give Foley's Honey and T'ar to their children for coughs and cold"', for it contains no opiates or1 other poisons. Gilder & Weeks. rGermany, at the end of 1902, will have a standing army of 495,000 men. IWinter co'ughs are apt to result in consumption if neglected.

Philadelphia drunkards are now re leased when sober for fear of their bring ing smallpox into the jail. The most reliable preparation for kidney troubles on the market is Fo ley's Kidney Cure Gilder & Weeks. Phenomenally mild winter is being ex perienced in Russia. At Kiev the trees are budding, the river Dnieper is clear of Iice, while a. Warsaw violets are flower Kidney complaint kills more people than any other disease. This is due to the disease being so insidious that it gets a good hold on the system before it is recognized. Foley's Kidney Cure will prevent the development of fatal disease if taken in time. Gilder & Weeks. A shoe firm in Toledo, 0., has traced to the depredations of mice, losses in greenbacks and other paper money which have amounted to $2o,czo in four years. A N ight A larm. Worse than an alarm of fire at night is the brassy cough of croup, which sounds like the children's death knell and it means death unless something is done quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar uever- fails to give instant relief and quickly cures the worst forms of croup. Mrs. P L Cordier, of Man nington, Ky., writes: '-My thbree year old child had a severe ease of croup: the doctor said she could not live. I got a bottle of F'oley's Honey and Tar, tbe firs dose gave quick relief and saved her life." Refuse substitutes.
