~.H. 0:.1 N-'t'- , COLUMKIX LECTER. Columbia, February l7.-Co"umbia on Saturday morning was covered with a coat of tleet and i he pedestrian found it ditlicult to get about. It was not so much snow as sleet , ud not neir as heavy as in Newberry. * * The legislature will wind up this week. Some of the members set-m to think that adjournment cannot be had before Monday the 24th, but I am still of the opinion that the closing sesion will be( had on Saturday morn!ng and by midday the solons will be on the way to their homes. The appropria tion bill is well under way and there has been little fight over the several items. The supply bills are also in and when these bills get well under way the other matters that have not gotten through .stand a slim chance and with this sesson all matters that do not get through die with the session. The appropriation bill seems to grow larger with each sessioti. The taxable property has increased during the past year several million dollars and yet it was necessary to increase the State levy a half mill. The appropriations this year aggregate a little over a mil lion dollars. A 5-mill levy on $189,000, 000 will realize $945,000 which is below the appropriations, but the deficiency is expected to be made good with the fees and licenses collected. The Increase in the appropriations is accounted for by the increase in pensions and for the Hospital for the Insane and this being election year provision bad to be made for that expense. The State and common school tax will aggregate 8 mills. In Ne7wberry the levy for ordi nary county purposes was put at 24 mills which makes an aggregate State and county of 10; mills This does riot include the extra levy for past indetted ness and the tax for special school. e* The cost of the legislative session as put in the legislative supply is put down as follows: For the senators $8,000 (if so m'uch be necessary) is appropriated, and $2.380 for the c!erks; for doorkeepers, porters, etc., $1,130; contingent-fund $900. For the per diem and mileage of the house (if so much be necessary) $25,000; for clerks,$2,220; for doorkeepers, labor ers, etc., $1,450; contingent fund $2,000 The engrossing department geLs $4,500 (if so much be necessary ) to pay the per diem of the solicitors, clerks, laborers, etc. This makes the total of all items as follows: Senate, $12 410, house, $30 670; engrossing department, $4 500. Gr and total,' $57,580, based on the constitu tional limit of 40 days. .Mr. Kibler's fowl~bill has been killed *and the chickens and geese will still be allowed to run at large. The senate has killed the Gra3 don bill to revoke the chart,er of the Caro lina Chemical Company. Senator Walker, of Georgetown, made the speech of the session against the bill. It was a strong presentation~of the sub ject and it was done in good etTective style. * * The -anti-trust bill has passed the house but has not yet gone through the senate. This has been a rather quiet session and there has not been any radical legislation. Up to this time there has been only one ratification of acts. and a list of these was given in my last letter. * * It may be interesting to the many friends of Rev. Dr. W. WV. Daniel, who was pastor of the Methodist Church in Newberry for several years, to koow that he was the recipient of a pleasant surprise a few days ago. The St. Paul's Lutheran Church for which he tacted as supply while thbe congregation was without a pastor presented him with a beautiful gold chain and locket in ap preciation of his services. Dr. Geo. B Cromer has been invited and has accepted the invitation to de liver the literairy address at the com mencement of the Columbia Female College in June. The young ladies have been fortunate in securing the services of one so competent to dis charge the duty. * Judge Gage has recently decided the road law in Anderson to oe unconstitu tional. It seems that very few of our laws will stand the test of the c'ourts when measured by our constitution. It falls under the inhibition against special legislation. Our constitution undertakes too much legislation. It is fortunate, however, that this decision comes while the legislature is in ses sion. It may be the means of gettinug some wise legislation on the subject of roads. This is a subject which esbould have demanded more attention from our legislators. ** I notice also that the dispensary law has been attacked on the same ground That it contains special provisions as to, certain counties whbich are not general. If the Supreme court should sustain the contention I presume it would necessitate an extra session of the legis lature. _ _E. H. A. Prince Henry is now en route and will arrive in a few days. The author ities of the Charleston Exposition should get the Prince to visit the Show MOVE THE COURr HOUSE. Now would he a Lood time to rrn.ve the court house from the public -quare. Repairs will be necessary on account of the tire Nesterday a'ternOon and if the buildimg is going to iie removud at all, no better time could -e st cad. We would stigest that the town and County c.-ope-Ate iZ the iuovrment of ouiidigti anouAr coa toas; on a new site and tu-ing the public square into a park. There is no doubt that it would be truch better that the se - sions of the court be held in a more qo'et place, and besides the value of the property on the block between Mr. E. 1E. Hipp's store and the ope:a house would be euoanced fu-11 one hundred per cent. We would suggest as a desirable cte for the new court bouse the corier bounded by Friend and Cald well sL.eeLs opposite the postolice. This place wou!d be w'tbin easy reach of every business section of the town and yet would be private and quiet. and we beleve could be secured. The speech of Congressman Wheeler, of Kentucky, in the House on Wednes day, when he made the assertion that "the United States is undertaking to play the flunkey at the feet of a little German prince, and sending emissaries abroad to whistle their fingers and dance attendance at the ante-chamber of some Britisher because he is going to the crown," was one of the most ...thitg rebukes ever adminis tered on the floor of the House to the party in po.ver. S ,ccet.:ry Eiv ar I the whole administ ration were severely criticised as tbe cause of "our fluokey ism, our truculency and our disgrace ful sycopbancy." There may be some truth in Wheeler's remarks, and that there is a tendency in that direction we do not doubt, but he went too far in making such strong denunciation and also when he criticised President Roosevelt for his intention tz alhow his daughter to attend the coming cor onation of King Ed ward. The daughter of the President has as much right to attend the coronation of a king or any thing else as any other American girl, if she attends as a simple American girl and not as the daagbter of a pres ident. That is a matter with which neither Mr. Wheeler nor any other man has anything to do. Mr. Roose velt when elected president did not surrender to the American people the right to dictate in h's family atirairs. If Miss Roosevelt wants to see a king crowned, and Mr Roosevelt is willing for her to do so, we hope to see her go to the coronation and have a most pleas ant trip. It is right that the American peo ple should treat Prince Henry with courtesy and extend him a cordial wel come but it rather strikes us that there has been made over his coming a lit te too much noise a nd yet Mr. Wheeler in his criticism goes entirely too far and no good can oome of it. Chief Justice McIver has issued an injunction restraining the board of con trol of Williamsburg county from es tablishing a dispensary at Lake City. The csse came up in the shape of a pe tition from certain citi;:ens of the county asking that the dispensary law be declared unconstitutional on the ground that pa-agraph 6 of Section 7 of the Act, providing for the establish ment of dispensaries in Williamsburg, Pickens, and Marion, is special legis lation and can not stand the constit u tional test. The injunction rest -an ing the board in establishing the Lake Cit dipensary, was issued by the cief justice at Cheraw on last Tues day, said injunction to -emain in fo'ce until a nea' ing can be had before the ull Court in Columbia on April 21. The constitutionality of the dispen sary law is involved, andi no doubt the case will be watched with ga'eat inter est. The g;ounds upon which the Court~ is asked to declare the law uu consttutonal are similar to those upon which the jury law was killed. It would seem that our winters now come after Christmas. The seasons are changing. The heaviest snows we hae bad in recent years have neen in February. We remember in Februe:.y, 199, the heaviest snow we had had in many years fell in this section. It re mained on the ground for many days. The snow on Saturday in many see tions of the State was as heavy as the snow of 1899, but in some sections it was not as heavy. Wednesday, 19th. is set apart as Pythian day at the Charleston Expo sition and it is hoped bhat every K. of P. who can will. attend so as to make a good show and have a pleasant day together.

E. H. A. i 0 k Should 'lake the Children. q We should take all the children to the BU Charleston Exposition. It will be an education. We agree with Superin- y tendent Evans of the Spartanburg c Schools and commend- to our Schools 0 and.their officers the following from Mr. Evans who has just returned from the o "The Expe-Viion is intdced a wond ful show," Architecturally it stCndse far ahead of any I have ever sei n in the Sjuth ad without fear of contra- b diction is equal in a great many re- b spects to the World's Fair and the Pan American Exposition, and if after the n C Exposition closes there is a person in u the Siate who his not seen it I wN ill consider him as having committed a crime against his State. One cau see the Exposition at a small cost and the money will be wisely spent. "Every school boy and girl in the t State, every college student should 0 visit the fair; for it will be an educt tiou; it is an opportunity that does not come often and the i oung people should avail themselves of the chance that d they now have. V "I am going to take the matter up with the board of scbool commissioners and recommend t.hat all of the schools in the city close for at least two days T and let the children see this beautiful d Exposition and the attracoive, intere-t- ti ing and wonderful exhibits from va- c rious parts of the United States an~d d foreign countries. The children will be well cared for, for they will be ac companied by the teachers of the ditTer ent classes and many of them will be f accompanied by their parents." Any time from now to the close willI be a good time to go down. The build ings are all complete and the exhibits installed and very soon the flowers will be in bloom. By all means take the children. st. Pant's Items. We had a nice snow fall Friday night E and again yesterday. It is decidedly a benefit to the small grain.
