STILL BALLOTING FOE ASSOCIATE JUS- j TICE? PENITENTIARY DIRECTORS ELECTED?OTHER MATTERS. The Capitol, Columbia, Feb-i ruary 8:?An entire board of1 directors of the State penitent- i lary were elected Friday night. The terms of three members had expired, one resigned and the S . other died. Messrs A K San-! 4 ders John (i Mobley and Jasper 5 Smith were re-elected for the j full term. Messrs w u Glenn of Anderson and Peas of Kershaw, were elected to fill the unexpired terms of Mr J R "*~-^-Thomas, resigned, and Mr D B Peurifoy,deceased, respectively. Capt D J Griffith was, for the fifth time, unanimously reelectsuperintendent of the penitentiary. After weeks of balloting the associate justice of the supreme court has not yet been chosen y and no one can tell when a re-1 >sult will be reached. The names j ot Judges Gage and Watts have *? ? i l been witncirawn. which leaves three candidates in the field:, Judge D E Hydrick and ifons J I C Sheppard and T P Cothran.} These three are so evenly, matched that it is impossible! for anyone to predict with any degree of confidence which will be chosen. In the seven ballots cast after the withdrawal of Judge Watts, each ot the three remaining received from 46 to 58 votes and closed with 46 for Cothran, 52 for Sheppard and 52 for Hydrick. Looks like a real deadlock. After Judge Watts, s whom the entire Williamsburg y delegation supported to the last, Messrs Bryan and Graham voted for Cothran, Mr carrer -went to Hydrick during two or three ballots and then supported Sheppard and Mr Bass voted for Cothran three times and then went to Sheppard. Unless one of these candidates withdraws his name, it is absolutely necessary tor enough members \Xo change to one of them' to -i*elect. And this thing is costing 0 something too. It takes an aver-y age of about half an hour to cast one ballot. Counting ten hours a day it costs about $55.00 to take each vote. So far twenty-seven ballots have been cast. Any one may figure out the expense of this prolonged election. Hk The effort in the House Friv~ * y Good and STAR BRAND I "all np-to-date.'* ( The P< of agriculture was killed by the remarkable vote of 107 to 12, which very effectually puts a i stop to the opposition to this most excellent branch, of our government. All of our members voted to sustain the department, which shows that Williamsburg is awake to progress and enlightened advancement. Mr Bryan has a bill in the Lower House authorizing and directing the Williamsburg dispensary board to pay Mr W E Snowden for services rendered as clerk of the board for some two or three months about a year ago. The bill to redoce tobacco warehouse charges Aas killed as dead as a door nail last Thursday in committee. The committee gave a hearing to those interested, at which were men from all the tobacco growing counties, and among these was the writer. After several speeches were made the committee, of which the author of the bill js a member, voted unanimously to report the bill unfavorably. Then the author decided to withdraw it entirely. Senator Black has a bill in the Senate to require freight trains to carry passengers. This measure has an unfavorable committee report. As some of the newspapers in giving a synopsis of Senator Bass's bill for the protection of game fish made a very serious mistake in reporting the first proviso of Section 2, the entire section is here given cerbatim, which is as follows: Sec. 2. That hereafter no permi in Mr. Farmer: Do you need young mulecome around' load that I p< I can PLEAS] and the price M.

On reading this any one will readily see that the mistake complained of changes the entire meaning of the bill Of course newspajper reporters, like all mortals, are liable to j make mistakes and should not: be judged hastily. That section ! of the bill relating to obtaining permission of the owner of the lands adjoining a stream to en- j ter thereon for the purpose of j fisfimg is practically a re-enact-1 ment of the law as it now stands, j For several years it has been j against the law to enter upon j the lands of another without his j permission for the purpose of fishing.

The effort to reduce the legal rate of interest to six per cent was thoroughly killed in the House Thursday. This body also put itself on record as opposed to the prohibition of the sale of cigarettes and to contin-. uing the improvements 01 tnej State House grounds, which ac-; tions will not be met with favor: by the realiy patriotic people! of the country. Mr Harmon's bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale of matches other than safety, matches, being a sensible and meritorious bill was reported unfavorably and is being stoutly opposed. The motion to make the prohibition bill a special order failed! to pass the House.This is as near [ as either branch of the legislature has comd.to voting on this liquor question. W. L. B. LAKE CITY NEWS ITEMS. Fierce Forest Fires?A Public Debate ?Local aod Personal. ijake City, February 9:?There were a number of forest tires in this section last Friday. The woods were very dry and the high winds whipped the flames into fierce conflagrations. In one of these fires the whole woodland from Mr T S -tree's store northwestward to the farms of Messrs T P Graham and J W McCutchen was swept by terrific flames, which despite the efforts ct all the men of the community,burned until the rain came about ten o'clock at night. It has been many years since there was so little water in the country as now. The ponds, branches and creeks which, at this time of the year are almost invariably filled with water, are dry, and the grasses, bushes and other yegetation of the forest are very dry. Dr C D Rollins arrived here from Baltimore last week. It is his intention to make this his home and he will open a sanitarium here. Mrs George Hickson and children came from Lynchburg last week and joined Mr Hickson here, where they will reside.
