TEE COMING LEGISLA1URL 4a Intelligent Forecast of What Will Be Done. Columbia, Special.?The General Asccmbly when it meets hero in January will have no really sariou3 propositions to settle. While there is a urea*. deal of legislation left over from year to year, the consensus of opinion is that there is abundant legislation on the statute book* and that the least done the better it will be for tha State at Large. The new General Assembly will have & larger proportion of new lawmakers than has ever before been in such a body. The usual quota of re-elected members is absent, and no doubt the young and new members will think that their greatness depends upon the number of bills offered and new and novel 9chem?3 proposed, starting with amendments to the concealed weapon law and ending with amendments to the Constitution. Naturally the amendments recently voted upon will come up and consume considerable time. Some will want to go right ahead with the necessary legislation, taking for granted that tho courts will pass over tne error made in the enrolled solution and the ballots, wbile others w'll want to let the question go before the people Sgtl'IJ. At itll tVCllld Ll> win ltxj vj'xi-c of tho foremost questions to come up. There will be the usual legislation proposed as to new Judicial and Congressional districts. Year after year bills are offered proposing the reorganization of the judicial circuits and that there be ten instead of eight circuits. The scheme adopted by the last General Assembly of providing for special terms of courts, on petition of a majority of the members of the bar of j, any county, seems to have worked very well, and a good deal of the congestion in Spartanburg, Cherokee and other counties has been relieved, and if the lawyers would take advantage of this statute and have their work ready for the courl when it assembles there would not be so much com plaint and such a perennial demand for additional courts. The census does not inc.ica.te that South Carolina will get an additional Congressman. Some who have figured on the relative increase say that there seems to be no chance for an additional Congressman from this State. The usual propositions to re-, district the State will be made, and the usual fight against any change in the di; tricts, if the State is not to get another Congressman. The fight against any change has heretofore to a large extent come from the Congressmen in office or those who have made the races in the districts as they have been standing. The house as will be remembered, passed the Patton redisricting bill, but the Sen- / ate killed It, It makes very little dif-1 ference to the average citizen how the districts are arranged, but it really does seem nonsensical to have shoestring districts in this day ana time, and have part of one township in one district and the remainder of a county in another district, and divide up counties so as to completely nullify their influence. The demand has been for some time for the districting of the State upon county lines, and it makes but little differences how the counties are divided as to districts, but there is no longer any use to cut up the counties and put part of a county in one district and part of the same county in another district. One question that will come up. in fact it has been coming up for .several years, is the sale of the state farms. Some of the members of the General Assembly think that because the State makes two or three hundred bales of cotton and sufficient wheat and corn with which to feed the conviets the State ought not to engage in farming at all, and should sell, no matter at what price, the valuable farms that it owns. There has been discussion of the question during the recent campaign ana aouauuni pruuiises that the question would be brought up. Thinking that it would be a popular cry the sale of the properties has been demanded on the stump. It ought to be realized that only the long-term convicts are now sent to the penitentiary from practically all of the counties, except Charleston. The counties have their own chain gangs, except Charleston, and prisoners sent to the Penitentiary and the State farms are 6uch as have long terms and are not wanted on the county chain gangs, and some way of working the convicts has to be found, and the only question seems to be whether the convicts tire to make their own livelihood?their flour, meat and clothing?or whether others are to do so for them. The only other plan suggested is to leae the convicts out and that is even more seriously objected to. Of course the dispensary law wilt come up this year, as asua.1, for patching. There never has been a year when suggestions have not been made looking to Improving the system. Suggestions will be made this year, but whether any changes will be made or not 's doubtful. The suggestions ?ong the lie of purchasing the supplies and the county boards of control will come up. and no doubt demand much of tab attention of the lawmakers. There is plenty to do as to the dispensary system, from the purchasing to the division of the profits, mzny think, but whether it will be done or not is another que-lion. The General Assembly will be called upon to take notice of the Charleston exposition, and whatever is within reason, and no more will be asked, is most likely to be done. Governor McSweeaey will give his heany support to any request coming from the exposition managoment. The code will come up for adoption -X - 4UA A.e. &L UUI43 VI LUC VJVJlltri ai zv.rsembly. The State printer is now getting out the work, and it will be ready for the consideration of the members of the General Assembly. Hospital for the Insane. The board of regents of the State hospital for the insane held their regular meeting the latter part of last week. It was devoted largely to matters of a routine character. About 30 patients were discharged on trial. The regents discussed the character and scope of their annual report to the general assembly. The report will this year be made more complete than for some years, and will show the development of the institution. A Horrible Crime. Anderson, Special.?John Tindall King, a white man about 45 years old, living near Piedmont, was arrested near his home and put in jail here charged with a horrible crime committed with his 16 year old daughter. He practically admits his guilt ana says whiskey did t. His famiiy con nections are prominent people in this county. There was much lndigna tion among King's neighbors am lynching was discussed without er citomcnt. It was finall" decided ? let the law take its course. Annual Inspection. Adjutant General Floyd is rapidly arranging the dates for all the annual inspections not yet made. As soon as all the dates are settled an order will be issued announcing them and then Col. Frost will start out on the tour, lie expects to complete all inspections in a short time when once the work is resumed. Already, a number of companies have been Inspected. Ordered Discharged. Gov. MeSweeaey has ordered the release of the two men held in Claren don county as suspected Georgia murderers. They were arrested at the instance of a negro detective, and the governor of Georgia asked that they te held subject to requisition paper?. This was done, and an agent of the State cf Georgia came over after the men. When the agent saw them he said they were the wrone parties and at once notififled the governor. The result was Gov. McSweecey's order of release. The negro detective edmply mado a bad blunder. Charitable Institutions. Dr. A. A. Mcore, of Camden, who is the inspector for the State Board of Heai'th of the DC-nal and charitable in etituticns in the State, is now on his 1 annual tour cf inspection preliminary j io the annuel report of the board. He j arrived here yesterday and is first making a thorough inspection cf con- ' ditioos at the State Hospital for tho J Insane.

Pardon Granted. The governor has granted a pardon to John il. Ashlc-y of Barnwell county, who was convicted this month cf burglary and larceny. Ashley is a white man who Lore a good reputation, but, having contracted the morphine Laoit, he was led to commit the :rime for which he was convicted. The irpltcat cn for patron was s:gncd by n?ny p:eminent citizens of Barnwell io well as the judge and soiicitor who icard the case.

Between Formosa and the coast of China lies a group of '21 islands, interspersed with innumerable reefs and ledges, which are called the Pescadores Islands. According to the investigations of a Japanese geologist, these islands have suffered in a remarkable manner from the northeast winds, which blow with savage violence there during nine months of the year. The original area of the islands has been greatly reduced by erosion, and their surfaces are barren and desolate, so that the wind-whipped group forms "a quasi-desert amidst the green island world of southeastern Asia." It has been discovered that the effects produced upon a body by electrocution and by lightning are wholly different. It has always been supposed that the results were the same, but the experiments of a physician in New York have proven this to be an error. A physician In the coroner's office in New York City, has recently made an autopsy of the body of a man who was killed by lightning. The body was found to be hardened and there were no blood clots on the lungs or the pericardium. In electrocution, large clots of blood form on the lungs and on the pericardium, and the nerv? ous system becomes pliable. In support of the view that Death Valley In California was formerly the bed of a lake, is the discovery of traces of an ancient water-line running along the flanks of the enclosing mountains at a height of <>00 feet. The bottom of the valley is 200 feet below sea-level. The winds from the Paeilic cross four ranges of mountains before reaching the valley, and by that time they have been drained of their last drop of moisture. It is said that "no spot on earth surpasses Death Valley iu aridity or Tophet-like heat." The lake that once filled it is believed-to have been fed by a river which Is now also vanished. The borax deposits of Death Valley are commercially important, but labor is all but imposible in a place where to be without water for a single hour la summer means death. It Is well known that the vibratory /notion of the leaf of the aspen anil T other popular trees is caused by a flattening of the petiole at its junction ^ with the lamina. The lower part of & the leaf stalk is elongated and rigid, thus forming a basis upon which the flattened portion of the stalk can, in virtue of its elastieaey, move to and fro as the wind acts upon the leaves of the tree. There have been several theories offered by botanists, none of them very satisfactory, however, to explain the origin of this curious structure and the purpose served by the "trembling" of the leaf. H. J. Colburn, in a recent letter to Nature, suggests a new explanation. lie thinks the vibra tion may be an adaptation foe rapidity throwing off the excess of condensed moisture, which is liable to form on the foliage of trees in marshy situa* tions. Dr. Manson, the malaria expert, believes that acclimatization, about which so much is heard in India and tropical countries generally, depends on "experience, education, and an Intelligent adaptation of habits," rather than on any actual change in the phsyiological condition of the body. It will be admitted by every one who has lived any length of time in the tropics that recklessness and carelessness are characteristic of the new arrival in any hot country, "lie does not think much of exposing himself to the sun, the rain, and the wind; the old resident is very chary of n-ltlmnf I, to on, K<|? on.l h!? white umbrella. The new-comer may look upon these precautions as signs of effeminacy. They are not so. Experience has told the old resident that neglect means an attack of fever. The new-comer sits up late, eats, drinks, and smokes as in Europe. The old resident goes to bnl betimes and eat* drinks, and smokes in moderation." A Koyal OculUf.
