February 13:?Gourciins i.s situ itr-d in the extreme Southern part of Williamsburg comm. being only a mile from iJatitee i i\vr, whi h marks the dividing line from Berkeley. It is the centre of a rich agricultur il country and fanning is tiu* chief industry of the people, many of whom are large land owners. ! Gourdins is a stna 1 village elus teiod around tile stat <?n, yet it boasts of several mercantile establishments ili.it would do credit to a town of much larger size. The Guurdins Mercantile Co., a chartered stock cmpany, started ! business only a year ago, but already it has prospered beyond expectation and is preparing to erect a new modern mercantile building 3D by Go feet, and two st ?nes high, to accommodate the expanding business of the lirm Mr 11 P Brown, the c mrceous and efficient manager, although quite a young man, has alio* n himself fully equal to the resp nsibihty of his position and has laid the foundation far a successful business career. Another ntercan ile establishment i that commenced business about a Vt-ar ag is that of Dr S Wayne tiamblc. Dr (iambic gave up a large practice as a physioi u to become a mere I) or and opened bis store i the PiLt.nin building His apparent suceos .-o ins t? contradict ihe gen r?d idea that a man cannot MiKvi'd to ;t umrkoil device in moiv than one avoc tiou. Personally there are few men in the comity ujoic popular than Dr Gamble, who has twice teen chosen to e!ec ive offices ami has neve'-vet Icen defeated for any oliee to which he aspired. i'lie oldest merchant at Guar ins is Mr N >v Uau'ife-t. who has done ImMn ss at the same stand for many years. Mi IJaejc.t has bull' up a substantial patronage and is withal a pleasant ami lourteous gentleman. The spirit of enterprise that is aliro (1 in he South pervades tie atmosphere of Goiiniins and promises to take tangible i'orm in a cotton seed t?i 1 mill.

THE SESSION CLOSES Nc Four Y.^ar Term for Legislators?, Immigration Bureau Bill Passes? ' S' ed Co t in License Killed. I i Tiik Capitol, Columbia, February la:?One week more and the I General Assembly of 1904 v.ili have passed into history. We are now working' night and day. Tl?e life of the conscientious legislator is by no means an idle on? and his office no' sinecure. The leg slative day begii s at 10 in the morning uud ends at, 10:30 to 11 at night, with intercess-i ions for dinner and supper. Those! who are on important committees have ail the afternoon work they can ! attend to. One should not judge a1 legislator by 'ho number of bills lie, introduces or the amount of wind- : jamming he indulges in. The truest and best tests arc intelligent voting and earnest work. Mr King's bicycle biil, of which mention was m-ule hist week, was ; knocked in the head by the Senate a few days ago. As another said: "When it i nched the Senate all its tires were simultaneously punctured''. The resolution looking to an am meudment of the Constitution so as to extend the term of members of the j House of Kepresentaiives from two to foui years was defeated m the western end of the Caj itol. The bill providing for the repeal of the agricultural l.ea law camie up for consideration one dav lust week. 'J'he discussi n was earnest and exhaustive and the measure was snowed under by a Lege majority?a larger majoiity than on practically the same bill last year. There seems to, be a desire on the part of a great main members to h t the people settle this matt r. They staud ready to carry out the will of the people u hen that will is expressed. Year afteryeai for many years the' State Board of medical examiners has been asking for and often obtaining changes in the law as to the' practice of medicine. Mti h friction has thus l*en brought about he-.i tween the Board and the physicians of the State and lietween the Board and.the State Medical College Recently a bill agreed upon by all directly concerned was introduced and has passed both houses. It is too lengthy to set forth in this article, j It purpo-ts to settle definitely the requirements for admission to pruc-; ticeand is >f such general interest to medical met that it would be wise j for the n to post theinselvts on the measure when the same is published. A joint resolution to amend the Constitution so as to change the' limit within uhich the county line; / iik lt*k /.ii* in ^wnnnrr I'illl UL II V III -v/illllii^ ?? vwvimt'i' | from eight to ten miles of the old court bouse has been presented by; Representative Mane of Marion. It is claimed that the direct object of this bill is to defeat the fonuation of a new county out of the upper part of M trion county. If we keep ou making changes in the constitution , we might as well have none. The bill providing for a bureau of! immigration was passed in the, House By a great many of our best hinkers this is regarded as! a measure of the utmost import- i ance?as the way to solve in the most j practical manner qur labor prob em ; and the manner in* which to obtain desirable settlers for our waste lands. In a few words, the bill provides for a secretary of immigration who will! advertise our resources ;nda<t as agent in securing good laborers and in disposing of our surplus lauds to j tin'6e desiring to come among us. Things became pretty interesting in the House Thursday night when discussion on the report of the State House commission reached the point where Messrs Williams anil Johnson | called each other a liar. For a mo-j nient it .seemed that s rious trouble i might be imminent, but quiet was ; soon restored and the House settled ! down to its usual calm. The measure which is now tower- j ing above all others in general inter- j est is the bill ( which provides local j option on the question of dispensary | or no dispensary. In the Senate it! is known as the Brice bill; iu the j House, the Peurifoy bill. The leid- ' ing features of the bill tabled down j are: That on petition of one-fourth ! of the voters of a county the super- | visor shall order an election on the ! question ef dispensary or no dispell- ; sary. If the electim result aga.nstj dispensary, then no dispensary can be established in that county, if it has j none, and if it has dispensaries, th^y I. must Ik?closed. If the election be) declared m favor of dispensary, then ; it may bo established unless defeated | by the voters of the township in : which it is sought to be located; that i in counties electing to have have no! dispensaries a tax of oue-lmlf mill i shall be levied to enforce the law, j all of the proceeds of such levy,! which shall not i>e necessary to en-! foice ttif law?to be returned to the, county, uif ia?5t reature 01 tut* ma; is objectionable to many, but rather ' than have the measure defeated it is probable that the whole measure will be accepted by those 'in favor of' leaving the decision to the peopte who 1 are most directly interested. One of the best, propositions of ; this session, that looking to tiie oxtension of magistrates' jurisdiction in criminal cases to those eases iu which the punishment does not exceed a tine of $200, o: imprisonment not exceeding six month**, was voted down in the House. Xotwithstand- j ing its failure the trend of certain, minds is indicated. Among the provisions of the Coro- j ner's bill, which has passed l)oth j houses, is one raising the salary of j the coroner of Williamsburg county J to ?125 and providing t.haf. the county commissioners shall pav inagwtrates who hold inquests for their services, deducting the amounts so paid from the amount of the coroner's salary. When the bill providing for the establishment of a dispensary at Teil Mile Hill came up for consideration Frulav nurht the opposition to the bill was lead by Mr Bass, who made the unfavorable re{x>rt on the bill. The debate was mtere.-ting and exciting. On the vote th? opposition secured 90 ballots against 8 in favor, thus burying the measure beyond ? the hope of resurrection. For several years there has beer> a dispute between \Villiauw?burg and (jcrgetown over a strip of territory near Smith'* Mills. A bill has just passed both Houses which provide* thutth's dispute shall be settled by two surveyors, one to be selected by each county, aud a third, if necessary, called in by the other two. ' , The bill providing for a license of ?300 to buy seed cottou was killed Monday night by vote of CO 10-30. On the debate on this bill Mr Wall made the first speech in opposition thereto and clearly deiiticd his position. and declared that there isro nenecessity for such a mr*a*ure and that it is a blow at the poor m?u. tu.. u:n 1111' Dili 1J.\IIJ? <1 IAA Ul UV ITUU1 Ul' eac'i dog is now before the Senate having passed the lower branch of the Assembly.
