One of the few sensible things jm iL:. toe legislature uiu iuis session w??| ta prohibit the use ot the assembly chamber as a dancing hall. But they lacked the moral fibre to stick to their action and at the last moment rescinded it ?Editor Sims, of the OraDgeburg Times & Democrat, thinks that Governor Ansel will be beat jq the next primary. If our memory serves right we believe that our Orangeburg friend thought pretty much the same thing two years ago. People are prone to believe what they want to believe. ^ / It seems to us that by ad~ ??!"?

Hut, theu, 110 doubt there is some legislative pet to be promoted to the United States Senate and the Solons must have their perquisites. The best suggestiou that has ft./ been made in some time for the L x relief of the congestion of the courts I has been made bj Senator Bass ff Williamsburg, who suggests that the criminal and civil courts be held at different times. The greatest delay arises in the divil court from the uncertainty as to when matters will come up for consideration and the holding of witnesses unnecessarily.?Florence Times. ===== In the election of S G W Shipp, Esq, as judge of the twelfth circuit the legislature made a wise choice. Judge Shipp is one of the brightest lawyers in the Pee Dee section and will wear the judicial ermine with dignity befitting his distinguished position. As toon as practicable The Rec Obd will publish a sketch of Judge Shipp, who is well known here and has many friends who are sincerely glad of his promotion.

The Times and its editor had nothing to do with the discussion between the people of two sections of Williamsburg county, for it is our rule to keep out of family quarrels; but when members of our own family started off in a course which we considered unwise for them we told them why we thought they ought to resist. The editor of the Times speaks in but one paper and that is the Florence Times.?Florence Times. f. ^ # A Correction. Iu our editorial last wtek uuder the caption, "As to Mr * Starr," the following paragraph ( occurred: s We are asked to correct the statr ( ; ment that an eight loot addition to r the court house cost $8,000. We made no such statement. What we s did wiy was ha' a tied re foot addt ^ tion cost $8,000. Our information e was from one who we thought Knew } I and we made no personal investiga- \ tion We hare learned since thai j( 1 the total aihount paid out 011 repairs I <, at the time was $4,000, but $:i,700 I of this was for ti;e twenty foot cl j extension. The $**.0o0 is palpably a tvpo- * 1 graphical error. Each time used j . it should hare been $4,000. In !^ handling figures it is extremely d difficult to get the proofs to ( conform to the "copy," as every newspaper man knows. These errors cited are of minor import- v anctt and we call attention ^to s them merely to keep the record I i1 straight. And, by the way, in this ^ connection we may also state ^ that the amount that we cl gave some time ago as to the a cost of the jail here, $8,400, we 0 have learned siuce was too small, h The contract included $8,400 cash 1 .1 . ? 1 il -1 j 1 rr ana toe materials 01 me uiu juu valued at $1,500, making the total si cost $9,900. Williamsburg's Candidate. 0 P H Stoll, Esq, of the local bar, is an applicant for the appointive position of solicitor for the third circuit, a vacancy created bj ds the formation of the new twelfth tl circuit. Williamsburg county has ,.( for many years modestly stood V aside in the way of asking for of- c( ' ul fices of larger scope than her couu- i. ?1 ty borders, and in so doing the ^ county has suffered. It is riot that P* we are lacking material for any of- p< I C< fice from United States senator at < i . i.i I h< aowr), OUl our people uaveuu imiair delicacy that shrinks from push- ? ing their claims in a scramble for office. This is not to be condemn- di ed or even criticised, but still when 'il Si when other counties are pushing G< forward their "favorite sons" and >4 . 50 Williamsburg keeps in the background, it puts ouY county in a H bad light, as the general public, 0 not beiug acquainted with the 11 facts, willx infer that we have not ^ a man worthy to put forward as a candidate for a position, the duties Li of which bring us in touch with B other counties. jg Look at our neighboring counties T( and compare them with Williams-19? oil burg. Hardly one but is repre- C< sented by district,circuit or State of- w ficials, and yet for two decades Wil- p liamsbnrg has not even asked for ?1 representation outsideof the county. SI We hope that Governor Ansel o 7 will take into consideration the facts we haTe stated and other B things being equal give this appointment to the Williamsburg candidate. Bow Her Life Vas Saved then Bitten [] by a Large Snake. h< How few people there are who are ^ not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a harmless little garter snake tell on the wheel of an automobile which was being driven by a woman. The w woman promptly fainted and the car, left to its own resources, ran into a tl stone wall and caused a serious acci- d< dent. The bite of a poisonous snake ^ Deeds prompt attention. Mrs K M Fishel, Route No. 1, Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa , telle how she saved her t life when bitten by a large Bnake. II "Ou Augnst 29, 1906, I was bit- II ten on the hand twice by a large copperhead snake.Being a distance from any medical aid, as a last resort I nsed Sloan's Liniment, and to my astonishment found it killed all g pain and was the means of saving -my life.

Had Thair Origin During tha Reign af King Pepin af Frartea. So far as the present writer is aware. Hie earliest mention of *'lireries'* made in histor? was during the reign of Ring Pepin of France, who flourished shout the rear 750 A. I). A form of amusement to which I\in? Pepin was partial was what were termed ennr* plenieres. These were assemblies at which. upon the kind's invitation, ail the lo;d- and courtiers of France were expected to be present. They were heid twice in each year?at ('lir^Jmn* and Faster?and peneraily lasted for about a week at each time. Sometimes these fratlteriny- took place at the kiwi's pa';:- e. sometimes in the neighborhood of one of tlie larper. French citie? and sometimes in some rural district. VI j]0 the fe^irni lasted the kinNok all his meals in public, bishops Hj^kcs a' me h i" -ed to sh "vtAv nd table was provtutu i'., .. ounts mi other leading men. an both tables tl."re wa? shown mo > nrofus'on than delieaev. both n the quality of the neat* and drinks and the manner in which they were served. Flutes hautboys and other musical instrument* were played before the bearers of each eoor e as it was removed from the tables. VThni dessert was served twenty heralds. each lmldinp aloft a jeweled polder, hoisted thr:ee. "Lar-csse, [aryesse from the most potent of i kin/s!"

Then the trumpet* were blown. white the better class spectators shouted and the meaner sort scrambled and often foucbt rigorously for the money mattered'bv the herald*. Charles VII. of France put a final rtop to the cours plenierc*. alleging that the expense attendant upon his irars with England made it impossible for him to continue them. One )f the severest causes of expense, it ivas explained, arose from the fact :hat, beginning with King Fepin'i ;ime, etiquette and custom alike denanded that the king should upon ;hese occasions give an entire suit; )f new and gorgeous clothing not j >nly to his own servants and re-1 :ainers, but also to those of the1 juccn and all the princes of the >lood royal. These garments were J in hn livrn;-?tlmf ic "rlflirpr- : >d" at the kind's expense?and rom tin's word the English word livery" was derived, as was the cusom of providing servants with "liv>ry" from the above mentioned >ractiec of certain of the French rings.?London Standard. A Rtady Reply. It was on a P. and 0. liner, andj he stewards wort being drilled in; raiting at table, dn the course of j he drill thef lined up outside the! aloon with empty dishes, supposed 0 contain curry and rice, and on a >ell being rung marched to their espective tables and proffered the lish to each seat containing an imiginary diner. The eagle eye of he purser noticed that one steward, 1 cockney named Bill, deliberately >assed one of the seats without >roHering the dish. He strode up to he table, and his manner betokened rouble for Bill. "Hi, you! What do you mean by nissing that seat?"

We have grown so accustomed to innlight of the present coloring and ihadrog that we can scarcely com>rehend the conditions that would irise if the sun were to suddenly rhange to some other color. If the run were blue, for instance, there rould be only two colors in the vorld?blue and black?or if it vere red, then everything would je red or black. In the latter :ase we should have red snow, red ilies, black grass, black clear sky iw/} nlnnda Ther* would be ?XJU < VU VAWMWW. ? -- ~ little variety, however, if the sun ivere green. Things that are now mellow would still remain that color, but there would be no reds, purplea, orange or pinks and very few of those cherry hues that make the world so bright. Charged Up to Him. The proprietor of the celebrated mountain inn was showing the new guest the beautiful surroundings. "Ah, these cliffs!" said the proprietor rapturously. "In an electrical storm they are awe inspiring. The next time a storm rises 3ee that you arc standing on the porch of the inn. Why, sir, the air is always heavily charged/' "I don't doubt it," laughed the new guest, winking at another late arrival, "ai\d if I don't happen to be standing on the porch I can feel assured that it will be heavily charged anyway?on my bill."?Chicago News. * I 1 STOLL BRO" WE STOCK' !
