COLUIIt LETrUK. Columbia, Eebrutry 20 -The leiis lature will certainly adjourn on Friday nigltor early Sn!urday morning. The cdendar in the house was cwiared al most entirely yesterday by kiiling al most all second readiag bills. The balance of the session will be largely taken up with the appropriation bill, though the senate has about agreed to all the appropriations in the bill. Tht $200,000 for pensions stands, so does the increase to Winthrop and all the big appropriations. When it comes to little matters where only fifty or one hundred dollars is the amount involved there are some members who have spasms of economy and show great anxiety for the people's money. There was a batch of bills .ratified a day or two ago, but none of them were of any more than local interest. In fact the present legislature is to be commended for the little it has done In the way of changing legislation.. ** Mr. Dominick's amendment to the charter of the graded school act has passed the senate with some amend ments. Mr. Mower increased the board to twelve and provides that one he elected from each ward, but that still gives seven life members In other respects I believe the bill stands as proposed by Mr. Dominick. * * Having been called home on Monday night on account of the fire in The Herald and News office I am unable to get off a letter today. E. H. A. The volunteer fire department in New berry has proved its elficiency and read iness to save property on two occasions during the present week. These fires have also demonstrated the value of our system of water works. There is one thing. however, which we need and that isa better fire alarm. Some of the fire men never heard the alarm at night themselves, though not very far from the square. The good work of the firemen and the citizens who were present saved the Her ald and News building and the machinery and type of the office. We express our sincere appreciation of their good offices. The price of cotton has advanced very much in the last few weeks. It will help the farmers very litle as most of the cot ton has paLsed out of their hands. W e hope that it will not fool the farmers to put all the'r trust in this one article. The same advice we have always given we be lieve is st'll good advice and if followed by our farmers would esoon make themI independent it mati.ers very little what the price of cotton is. First prepare to make all you need for the farm, on the farm,.and then grow all the cotton you can regardless of the price. It will then place the farmer where he ought to be, independent of Fens and lien laws. Shack Dote. We have been having some very cold weather for the last week, but we hope it will not continue very long. The grain crop has been very much dam aged by the cold. The farmers have begun breaking up the land and preparing for the plant ing of the next crop. Mrs. Nolan Sligh came up Saturday to visit her father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Johnson. She returned to Newberry Sunday. Come again, we are always glad to see you. Mrs. Mary Johnson has been on quite an extended visit to her daughter, Mrs Wofford at Woodruff. Little Jared Wofford is visiting his aunt, &liss Lula Johnson. Miss Hattie denn spent the last week visiting her friend, Miss Ida Smith. Misses M innie McKitrick and B3essie Workman made quite a pleasant visit to Mrs. Fred Johnson recently. Rev. Mr. Thrower preached at Taber nacle Church yesterday. Although we have only heard him preach twice we like him very much. Tabernacle school has been moved near Mr. John Miller's, but as it is not completed yet the church is being used as a school house. It was right sad to see the chimney taken down, so many of the patrons went to school, and learned their a bc's right there and shall we say received their first (?) whipping. The young people are anticipating a lively time at a Valentine party, at the home of Mr. James Johnson's next Friday night. Mrs. Tom Davis spent Saturday night and Sunday with her brother, Mr. C W. Buford. Mr. Land Waters has nearly suc ceeded in getting a free delivery through this section of the country. It is very much needed and will certainly be convenient. Mr. Fred Johnson has begun work at his saw mill again. Some of our young men are going to Jalapa right often here of late. We cannot tell exactly what is the matter but can amagine. We have no new-comers this year but Mr. John Biller. He lives in the Rich Hill house this year. We are always glad for' new families to move in as they are.a help to the community. 1 T bere is a pair of grey horses in the1 neighborhood. Look out girls!

Immediately after the ceremonv, and as soon as they re ceived their congratulations we all re turned to the hospitable home ofthe groom where a delghtful reception was given.

Sarah Uan nOD, Who Le,ft Nevtptrry (Jounty r'wenty Years Ago Mr. Editor: Twenty yea:.s ago M rs Sarah Cannon widow of the late John A Cannon, deceased of Pomaria, and sister of the late Thomas M. Lake ofiNewberry' deceased, with her family of b iys, her brother E. J. Lake and two sisters Mat Cannon, wife of W. P. Cantiou. and sis ter Emma Lake moved to Lindale, Texas. The children have all grown up to man and womanhood, and are prosper ous in their new homes. It will grieve the many friends in Newberr'y to hear of e tragic end of a son of Mrs Sarah Cannon, and to offer to her the sympa thy of all who knew her as a true Christ jan womarn. Thos. W. Holloway, Pomaria, S. C. H UGH CANN(ON TAKES HIS L4IFE. We take the following from Terrell Tanscript of last Saturday, which gives n ccount of the suici le of Hugh L. Cannon: The startling news of a suicide at the idand hotel last nicrht was learned about noon today. IT. L. Cannon who said he was from Lindale, came to the Midland hotel yesterday evening, regis tered for the night and paid his lod! ing in advance. le told the hotel peop e not to awaken him early in the n.orning Dur ing the night the occupants of adjoining rooms heard him groaning and vomiting, but thought perhaps he was drinking and did not molest him. Today when the door of his room was opened he was found dead and an empty six ounce chloroform bottle was on the table by the bed and the following note in a legi ble hand was near it: "Midland Hotel. When you come to call me this morning I will be dead. Please notify my brother, W. T .Cannon, at Lindale, Texas. Call him up over the phone. He will pay charges at the other end. Please let me remain here until my brother comes. He will attend to my removal. "Yours Respectfully, H. L. Cannon." Barnum' Monkeys "All well-all happy-lots of fun". That is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum's Circus ever since the keepers began dosing the monkeys with Scott'- Emul sion. Consumption was carry ing off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accident ally broke a bottle of Scott's Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from consumption. Of course it's cheaper to buy Scott's Emul sion than new monkeys-and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is the same disease. If you have it or are threaten ed with it can you take the hint? This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on the wrapper of every bottle.
