children themselves they responded
favorably to the appeal and
the teachers and pupils eujoyed
a day of recreation

country." Two picnics were got

Columbia, Feb. 21, (Special):? s
At 2:20 this afternoon the Genera!.?
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

ot again designate a locality for a
ispensary in the same township
ithm one year, passed and will
econie law on approval of governor.
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

MJc-S RAY S~HULTZ LED TO THE :
ALTAR BY MR SOL Pr" RES.
A Pretty Wadding Celebrafd Ac
cording 1o Ihe d wich
Ceremony.
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
