THURSDAY. FEB. 27. 1908What
a pitv the legislature)
I
could not think of a few more
offices to create.
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last moment rescinded it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~
??!"? '11o of tlia rcariilnr I
JUUlllilJ?, C1UC uic, ui luv
time the legislature might hare
left the appointmeutfor the shorj
term to Governor Ausel, thereby
saving the State $5,000. 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.
Editor Aycr's Position,

hold us responsible for all that our
lieutenants do and say when they
slip the tether. 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.

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. I am the mother of four
children and am never without your
Liniment." ?

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

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,

kin/s!" As they shouted the? scat-;

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?"

If tho Sun Was to Chan90 Color.
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
