The death of Judge James * \ldrich, which occurred at \iken last Sunday, caused jeneral sorrow throughout the 1 state. A gentleman of the old ( C egime, the highest type of the lpright and incorruptible Judge, ' le enjoyed the frendahip and ( isteem of all who know him, ^ ind those whom he honored * vith his friendship, knew best c md appreciated most the depth of c lis sincerity and kindliness. * i The United States Senate has 1 olemnly declared tbat the diction- 8 ry compiled by oue Noah 8 ? - . i . . Vebster is obsolete oecauae oia aterpretaion of "hazing'' did not c leasure up to the definitive c tandard of that body of "potent, 1 rave and reverend seignors." a 'erhaps if some of the selfsame ypercritical gentlemen who thus * uthlesslv consigns to oblivion ? reat Noah's name and fame had 81 ot been brought up on the old ei blue back speller" they never g ould have attained their presat dazzling eminence. f ===== d We are told in the press re- v orts, that Clemson and Win- w lirop paid the expenses of the c legislators' visits to those insti- a a itions. Now, we understand bat the main object of the visit ) Chaileston is to give the tl entlemen of the General As- r< ?mbly the opportunity to in- 1 pect the Citadel Academy. Thus D a ie honorable body will have en- ^ >yed the hospitality of three of lt le State-supported institutions a, E leurniug. By the way, isn't it ir )r a second story to the build- b ig, or something like that, that 11 , , z! je ( itadel wants a big extra rr ppropriation this year? ===== 01 The annual freak measure to P rohibic the sale of all matches ^ 1 the State except the "safety" latch has actually passed the leuate. It is to be hoped that ^ ae House will exercise better jj idgment and kill the bill. q hould this bill become law, r( hen it happens?as it frequent- ii j will happen?that a half- P rozen man finds himself with e latches and no box to strike bem on, won't he "cuss" that legislature? For genuine, absolute ifety why not legislate backard to the old flint and steel v v nd tinder box? . b " ^ fnrtirnin tr Wii>i i. OillV-V V14W WIV^VIMQ ?? WW Y ut iii type the Senate has re- y ersed itself on the safety match i" ill, defeating it on the third e ?ading. This was brought about, ^ e understand, by the vigorous ^ rotest of the Columbia merchants ^ gainst the weird piece of legis- s ition. 'I The Legislators took another b av o'i yesterday to go on an- ' > I ' .. i ither junketing tour. This time ;he objective point id Charleston inu we doubt not that much maudlin sentiment mixed with 'blind tiger" liquor and Goose Creek water will be uncorked. By the way?who pays transportation expenses for the august body on these little outings? If the State pays the freight or fare, whichever you please, it is in unwarranted extravagance. If :he railroad company "sets 'em jp," it is morally, if not actually, a violation of the anti-pass aw. At the same time, to make 'Vie* Stnlrma nav their wav would """J ? t?J ?I >e cruel aud unusual, when their itipend is the meager pittance of ive dollars a day. There seems to be an epidemic )f burglaries throughout the State. VIost of the jobs show evidence >f workman-like skill, so that it s pretty certain that there are >ne or more organized gangs of 'yeggmen" who are confining their ittention to this part of the country for the time being, at east. Due West, Edgefield, Efingham, itartsville, Walhalla and ither towns have been the scene ?f their depredations aud there s no telling where the erratic nstincts of these predatory free"?oAo will nor laod fliam f A auu^o n 111 iiva v ivuu vuvuj w eek their prey. A few more uch terrible punishments, howver. as that inflicted by young lauls at* Tallahassee, Florida, reently when he shot and killed he notorious ''Tennessee Dutch'' ud his pal, while they were in be act of looting the postoffice, rould doubtless constrain these hcvaliers (VIndustrie to seek a less trenuous avocation for the e.xrcise of their peculiar talents. OINGS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. (Continued from first page), rem the recess taken last Satnray, the various committees i conened to report on referred matters rdicb, according to agreement, were onsidered as uncontested matters t the reconvening of the Assembly t 8 p m Monday. Dog Tax Bill Passed. There was considerable debate in be House on Mr Harmon's bill to squire the owners of dogs to keep bem confined or make them wear luzzles if allowed to run at large, ad to provide for a capitation iv unload fhp rlncra ?rp kpnt i private yards. Mr Kidgell sugested that if the dollar was too mch to reduce it to fifty cents ecause the people need the protecon. Mr Ashley thought muzling a dog would make the dog go tad. By a vote af 38 to 24 the bill was rdeied to third reading, which uts the dog tax law up to the enate. Legislative Elections. The elections for circuit Judges, tate college trustees, penitentiary irectors, State librarian and isurance commissioner were held ^esday in the General Assembly, ?8ulting in the re-election of all the icumbents. There was no oposition to any of the incumbents xcept penitentiary directors and II of these were re-elected. A Celestial Wanderer. Drake's comet, the celestial wanderer that appeared in the rest last week unheralded iy the astronomical savants, ras visible here several nights rlien weather conditions were avorable. The comet,as viewd by a number of local people, irst appears to the light of 'enus and travels rapidly toward the West until it fades leyond the horizon. The comet ports a blazing tail that reetnbles a large search-light, "he phenomenon was seen to est advantage here between :3o and 7:30 p m. "f 3 Bales of Cotton Per Acre Mr. John B.
