Assembly adjourned sine die. As is ; 0 j usaal the closing hours were hours j * j of haste, undignified confusion and ( ? dangerous impatience. This is an (1 |evil and should be corrected. Some! * I [of the members seemed tilled with I the idea that because the pay stops i P ! r? ! today the Assembly must stop;" whether ail business be concluded on ^ not and in order to complete even aj? ]?:irt iu time to get home before the j'< last "payday" expires things are run !11 at break-neck sp?<*l and amid J11 dangerous confusion The bills ovei |(^ which there would likely be a contest were carried over. ^ This Assembly was not an epoch making one. No radical laws were ' | made, and with the exception of the contest over the Gause shad bill el there were no sharp combats. The Marshall child labor bill was perhaps the bill of most general interest j that will become law, and this 11 I measure is a compromise from "start S ' to finish." 11 I The Clifton demurrer bill passed ^ the Seuate and with the Governor's ei signature will become law, to the joy P of sum? lawyers and the sorrow of P ! others. r< i. I The bill authorizing the erection ! of a dam across Kinloch creek in ^ I Georgetown county, for the purpose J. of draining certain lands provoked a 1 lengthy and spirited discussion, but ^ finally went through aud was ratified. During one of the mock sessions ?' a bill was intiodueed providing''that ^ after the passage of this act Kinloch ' creek be dammed." li Mr Cause's shad bill, after pass- y ing the House by a safe majority, V came up in the Senate yesterday and wax continued till next session. This was a disappointment to the1 (friends of the bill who were hopeful C( jof its becoming law at this time. ^ : Every member of our delegation supported this bill and while Messrs Gourdin and Wall did not speak on j it they worked for it. Mr Wall's bill requiring steam- t j boat companies to keep agents at n j public landings went in too late to |s* ; be acted upon aud was carried over. Senator Ragsdale's bill with regard jo the menders of the relief depart '' meats of railroad companies will c become law. This is an important 1 measure and will give a much need- r' ed relief to the employees of these 1 h companies. J Mr Wall's bill requiring all rail- '' roads over thirtv miles in length to conform to the *'Jim Crow" law was withdrawn as Mr Lanev's l)ill which 1 accomplishes the same object, to wit, ' ; the forcing of the Georgetown and | Western Railroad to provide separate ! accommodations for whites and 1 blacks, was ahead on the calendar I and went through. The dogs may sigh a sigh of relief las the dog law was strangled 111 the j Senate. As is the custom it will j probable bob up again xnext session. The bill providing lor a license 01 i $500 to buy seed cotton was killed on its third reading in the House Thursday. The tight over it was a hard one and its fate doubtful until the final vote which gave a majority of nine against it. Mr Wall made a short but spirited speech on this bill, i I He clearly defined his position and ( (the position of a majority of the' people of his county, which hr said is one of decided opposition i > this, measure. He spoke clearly and without a trace of embarrassment laud was heard with attention. Up , to this time the attitude of our people on this bill bad not been publicly j announced and when it was declared 'V Mr Wall it no doubt hnl its flirt. The i't!nr members of the I (ion helped i> kill tin- bill but J ii.icit* no speeches j Mr Tat n hum's ba^i^e bill went ii way of the shad bill?continual! iil next session.

It is quite impossible to give all ie measures of imp >rtunce, not even majority of them. But I have udeavored to mention such as I bought would be of special interest ) your leaders. Anotlier bill wich I wish to menion, as it will be of interest to a ood many, is the bill making it a lisdemeanor to injure, remove, tear own or destroy any fence used to nclose a jmsture, whether public or mate, or field, unless it is the sole roperty of the person so injuring, nnoving, tearing down or destroyig such fence. Mr Cotirdin will be a candidate efore the next session for the posi011 of member of the board of irectors of the State dispensary, [e is very popular with the membois f the Assembly and deservedly so nd will be a hard man to beat. ,'e would regret to lose him from le House as he is a very useful, lfiuential and working member, i't many of lis believe that there are ?w men who would make a better, )berer, more thoroughly honest qrj tore capable director than lie \tould. j Our delegation throughout the! ssion have worked in harmony and ave stood together 011 most mutters.

I An nnusuuliy interesting wedding j was solemnized in town yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mr N Schultz when his daughter. Miss Ray was united in marriage to Mr Sol Peres, of Baltimore, Md. Marriages do not occur in Kingstroe every day and a Jewish wedding ceremony is an event almost beyond the memory of the "oldest inhabitant." The hour appointed for the ceremony was 3 o'clock p. in , and at that hour the invited guests were assembled. At a few minutes past three the wedding march, skilfully > .null.rod liv* Mrs \Y G Gamble. her aided the approach of the bridal couple. The groom filtered first, accompanied by Mrs W Stuimuu, a sister <^f the bride, and stood beneath a lace canopy decorated with green. Here he was shortly afterward joined by the bride, who entered on the arm of her father. The I lev l)r H A Klzas of Charleston, who performed the ceremony, digressed for a moment and elo(pieutly and touchingly dwelt upon solemnity of the marriage relation. To one who* had never witnessed the Jewish marriage ceremony it was interesting aiid impressive: the standing before the rabbi wi'h hats 011 (the masculine persuasion,) the breaking of the wine glass?an ......... ,.f h-inninfNS?and the UlilCH V/i If VWUV.U >*? w occasional lapses into the Hebrew tongue. The ceremony over the gues t were invited to the dining-room and were regaled with an epicurean spread. As the generous wine circulated dull care vanished and good cheer prevailed in every heart.. Toasts were drunk to the bride and groom, the tirst being offered by l)r Klzas, who was followed by Messrs C W Wolfe, LeRoy Lee, B H Myers, Louis Shultz and A Schultz all of whom responded to their health and happiness. This part of the programme was constantly interrupted by telegrams of felicitation from absent relatives and friends. The parlors and dining-room were tastefully decorated with orange j \ ? blossoms and evergreens, the effect being a harmonious blending of white and green. The presents were numerous and practical, among them being a check for $200, from the father of t*?e bride and on? for $300 from her brother, Mr A Schultz, of of Kinston, N. C. Following are the guests who participated in the pleasure of the occasion: Mrs E Libowitz and Miss Tena Libowitz, Gastonia, N. C., Mr and Mrs L E Schultz, Master J T and Miss Tena Schultz, Georgetown, Mrs W Sturman, Farmville, Vju, Mr A Schultz, Kinston, X.
