Various Matters of More or Less In- i terest Discussed by One Who Is , On the Scene. , Columbia, Jan. 29. 1 Columbia, rainy and lreezing, i is quite different from Columbia bridit and sunshiny, as lias been : nnifp tnrvililv rlpmonsfratp<1 dnr-' 1 lug ihe past few days. On Saturday afternoon it began to snow, and bv nightfall the groand began ' i to get whitened. Sunday was cloudy and disagreeable, though < most of the snow melted. To-day, , however, the sun burst through the clouds with all its pristine-, splendor., and Columbia ov.ce more ( is bright and beautifnl. i { The past week has been a bursy ( one in both bouse.^ though little has been done except to kill bills , which a majority consider unwise. | As the lawyers do most of the; ( talking, the rest of the legisla-ji ture is not unlike a jury., save ( that sometimes a juryman unex- j peetedly gets up and out-argues ( the lawyer. j Sonii ot the defeated measures j last week died hard, and the argument brought forth brilliant . oratory on both sides, as was the , case when the Moss bill came up , to increase the number of judicial . circuits to ten. ( The tilt t-etwcen Josh Ashley and Bolts, the cegro member Irom Georgetown, last Thursday caused ( much amusement in the house. | A bill had been introduced to prevent the shipping of shad out ol , ihe State. The negro attempted to speak against the bill, and Josh, to have some fun, tried to i confuse him by interrupting. The . dusky champion of the fishermen i more than held his own. however. and lor one Mhe redoubtable Josh ( was beaten at his own game. Over three hundred bills have . been introduced since the beginning of the present session, and ( still they come. The vast ma- . joritv of litem, however, will uever appear on the statute books. The writer had the pleasure last Saturday ol dining with Uovernoi McSweeney in company with several senators and members of the house. Senator Appelt and wife, of Manning, were also present; and also Miss Cooper, a niece of the Secretary of State. It is neediess to say that tlie day was delight- j fully spent. Mrs. McSweeney is j a charming hostess, and, by the way, one of the handsomest ladies ' ol Columbia. I For the information of their j constituents we give the following 'home'' addresses oi the Williams burg delegation: Senator A. 11. Williams, 10 Greeniield Building; ( Messrs. J. S. Graham and S. W. Gamble, }30G Main street; and C. , W. Wolfe, 1221 Flam street. Solicitor John S. Wilson boards corner Main and Lady streets. Both he and Dr. Williams visited their respective homes Saturday. They will return, however, in time lor ? % to day's session, which begins at 12 o'clock,- noon. Messrs. C. Lesesne, W. G. Canllev and J. J. Eaddv have been reappointed supervisors of Williamshnrg county. A bill was introduced to reduce the number to >110, which was overwhelmingly iefeated. 'l'he death of .Joseph E. Brockinton was a shock to us all, coming as it did so unexpectedly. Everybody from Williamsburg seemed to be saddened at the news. C, W. Wolfe. The Fertilizer Trust.
