RESUME OF THE WEEK'S WORK

TKo Ton firmit Sill Passes The
House?Bilk of Local Interest.
The Capitol, Columbia, S. C.,
Fib. 6: In sleet and intense
co-d last week went out and this
one began. Up to Friday the
weather had been exceptionally
good for "legislative weather,"
bnt things have turned, and from
this on we may be paid up with
fu?l measure. And besides the
unpleasantness and difficulty of
traveling, the low tempature
and sudden changes are having
th.dr effects uDon the members.
.. *
Good health was the order the
first half cf the session; now
so ne fifteen to thirty of the representatives
and senators are
laid up with colds, grippe etc.
On Saturday both houses adjourned
until Tuesday noon,|
Monday being salesdav on which
day a number were desirous of
visiting their respective county
towns.
The dispensary investigation!
resolution has passed both
houses, and Lieut-governor
Shttn has appointed the membens
of the commission on the,
)P part of the senate, to wit: Messrs
Cole L Blease, Hay and Cbristeusen.
The house members
ha?e not yet been named. This
committee ought to be made up
of capable, unprejudiced, con
sciientious men and men who are
in anv wav"connected with
the members of the State Board
and who are not extremists
eitiier for or against the dispensary,
else the investigation will
be a mere farce, fruitless of results
and satisfactory to neither
side.
f The ten circuit bill, contralto
expectations,passed the house
by a good majority and is now
before the senate with a favorable
report and the indications
po;nt to its becoming law. Under
the arrangement proposed
in this bill, Williamsburg will
be in the fourth circuit along
with Florence, Clarendon, Suintei
and Lee?being the same
m. ke-up as the third circuit now
stands with the exception of
Geoogetown, which is thrown
wi+h Berkeley. Dorchester and
" " " * ?r ' ? "
Orangeburg into the second circuit.
The enactment of this
measure will necessitate the
election by the assembly of two
additional judges, one for the
first circuit and one for the
nitth.
A sensation was created one
day last week when Mr Toole
of Aiken, presented a petition
asking that hoars of labor in
. cotton mills be reduced from
eleven to ten, bearing the signatures.

The Raysor-Manning measure
; which has gone through the
i senate seems the most impor!
tant bit dispensary of legislation
! that has been considered with
j favor by that august body. Its
provisions are too numerous and
varied to notice in detail, but
j the leading objects are: to take

State Board out of politics and
place the appointments in the
hands of the governor: to perm it
the closing of dispensaries unacceptable
to the people among
whom they may be located: and
to change the mode of purchasing
liquors so as to remove the
opportunity for handing out
"samples," "rebates," "knockdowns,"
etc. This bill, along
with several others touching the
dispensary from various points,
have been made special orders
in the house for Tuesday of this
week. Then the temper of the
representatives towards the
State's whiskey business will be (
shown. ,
I
The matter of compulsory ,
education has received two
black eyes?one in each end of <
the Capitol?and it seems that
scheme is dead for the present. :
The bill prohibiting- cock ;
fighting- met with a reception
unlooked for in the lower house.
It went through by a great majority
and it is now up to the i
senate to say whether or not it
shall become the law of the
jand. ;
Senator Williams has a bill '
in the senate providing-for a li- 1
cense of ?1,000 on coca cola
plants and it seems to be meet- 1
mg witn general iavor as 10
the principle, but instead of a 1
tixed sum the license may be ]
graduated. It seems that phy- i
sicians are coming to the con- 1
elusion that this drink contains J
deleterious elements and that 1
fhe drinking of coca cola may 1
become an irresistible and harmful
habit. Hence this measure. I
Mr Gause has introduced a i
resolution directing the transfer 1
(from Williamsburg to Florence
of a balance of the school funds, j
which is claimed to belong that ,
part of Williamsburg county
which was cut of! and made a (
part of Florence county about a i
year ago. The amount involved j
is said to be aoout thirty dol-11
lars. (
A bill which will be of some
interest to a good many is the (
bill which went through the
house Friday prohibiting shoot- 1
ing matches for prizes in money,
turkeys, chickens or other articles
of Value. This, should it
become law, will stop shooting 5
off turkeys, etc.
While the members of the as- j
sembly are divided as to the wis- j (
dom of repealing the lien law, j
there appears to be a pretty
general readiness to act in this!
matter only after an expression j
from the people, and to ^ainij
this expression there is a ineas- j
ure upon the house calendar!
which provides that this ques-j
tion be submitted to the demo-! <
cratic voters in the next elec-1 '
tion.
Compulsorv vaccination is j \

and part of Penn townships \ t
upon the question of "stock j(

only freeholders are to be per-')
mitted to vote; and if a majority j j
vote in favor of "stock law,"13
then the act exempting" that ter- {v
ritory from the operations of the j
general stock law shall become j
at once repealed. The measure j
has not yet been presented, <1

Si ttons, February 7:?Our
community has been saddened
by the death of one of its best
citizens, Mr Buford Richardson, i
which ocurred at his home at j
Suttons on Thursday, January
26, after an illness of two weeks. 1
Mr Richardson was born near :
Suttons church, Williamsburg
a n rv n 1 q.iq ,
CUUUiy, O. V., L/C^cm UCI 7, altxu, ?
but many years of his life were
spent in Florida, where he was
engaged in the culture of oranges
up to the winter pf 1894-95,
when the great freeze came that
was so disastrous to orange in- 1
dustry and forced him with many
others, to turn his attention to
other employment. From Florida
he returned to his old home,
where he followed the the occupation
of farming the remainder
of his life.
He was married in 1887 to Miss
Marie Hiddleson, who with one
son, survives him.
Mr Richardson was a consistent
member of the Baptist
church and at the time of his
death held the office of secretary
of SuttoDS church.
Quiet and unobtrusive in manner,
he was a true friend, and a
kind husband and father. He 1
w;ll be much missed by many
who knew and esteemed him.
His remains were laid to rest
at Suttons church on Saturday <
following his death amidst a
concourse of sorrowing friends
and neighbors. I
The only relatives from a distance
who arrived in time to attend
the funeral were, Mrs F H i
Spivey of Columbia, S. C., and 1
Mr E J Parker of Lanes, as the
end came-very unexpectedly.
n?r cinr^rA svmnathv is
tended to the bereaved family
in their great loss. A. B.
