Representative Graham Uses to a Point of Personal Privilege. Editor County Record:? In your last week's issue your correspondent, under the head of "Doings of the General Assembly,'' makes an inaccnrate statement in regard to the vote on the Hardin bill, to amend Sec 3t)05, Vol I of the Code, requiring that "crops must be up and growing to make mortgage on I same valid." He says that the Williamsburg delegation voted with the majority. Being one of the delegation, I simply wish to keep the rec-; ord straight. On the motion to strike j out the enacting words of the bill 1 voted no, which the journal of the House will show, and which is equivalent to voting for the bill. My reason for doing so was that I considered it a necessary adjunct to the repeal of the lien law, in order to carry out the wishes of the farmers along that line. Your correspondent from Andrews commenting on the Legislature, said "Note the trip to Charleston and other points to try to make out the allotted time." He seems to have forgotten that there is now no allotted time for the session, and the General Assembly can stay here 30 daysortJO ! days and receive the aame pay. However, I agree with him that it should oome here and do the work as soon *? ?QnrI > ouu ?ujvuiu wmw vmv*v j by save money to thn State and in j their own pockets. J 8 G Colombia, S C, Jan nary 31. [The point to which Mr Graham calls attention is one of several ''inaccuracies" that appeared in onr Legislative correspondence last week, causing us to make other arrangements to get news from t be Capitol first hand. For the remainder of thesession we hope to have a weekly letter from Hon W L Bass, onr careful and painstaking Lake City correspondent. We regret the injustice done 11 r Graham and any other members who may have been misrepresented, but, of conrse, not being on the scene, we did not know that the report sent ns was erroneous? | Editor The Record.] l OUR CLUBBING RATES We offer cheap clubbing rates with a number of popular newspapers and periodicals.

Coroner Gamble held an inquest Moi^y near Taft over the remains o Frank Smith,a white man 84 years old, who was burned to death in his house i Sunday night, January 30, at 81 o'clock. The old man lived all alone in a small house and the house, it is supposed, caught tire from the clay chimney,which was in a dilapidated condition, and Mr Smith perished in the flames. Among the ashes was "1 A \ found $5.lU m coin anu uiere seemed to be signs among the debris of paper money having been destroyed. The body was bmned to a crisp and could not be identified, but circumstantial evidence left no room for doubt as to the identity of the unfortunate man. The coroner's jury returned a verdict in accordance with the | above facts, there being noj grounds for suspicion of foulj play. The deceased was a Confederate veteran and had no near relatives, it js said. A Mel SOscrlfcer. Good morning sir; Mr Editor, how are folks to-day? I owe yon for next year's paper, and I thought I'd come in and pav. And Jones is goin' to take it and this is his money here, I shut down' lendin' it to hiiu and then coaxed tim to try it ft year. And here is a few little items that happened last week out our way; I thought they'd look good for the paper aud so I just jotted em down. And here is a basket of apples my wife picked expressly for you; aud here is a! pumpkin from Jennie? she thought] she must send something too. You're doing the politics bully, as all of our family agree, just keep your old goose quill a flappin' and give bad men ft good one for me. And now yon are chock full of business, and I won't be takin' | your time, I've things of my own j I must tend to?good day, sir, I believe I will climb." The editor sat od his hard bottom chair, aud brought down his fist with a thump. "God bless that sturdy farmer," he muttered, "he's a regular jolly old trump." And it's thus with our noble profession and thus it will ever be still, there are some who appreciate its labor and some who perhaps never will. But in the great time that is coming, when Gabriel's trumpet shall sound, I and they who labored and rested,; shall come from the quivering j ground. When they who have striven and suffered to each one in his God giveu place, as they march through the gates of the golden city with proud victorious tread, the country editor and his devil" will travel not far from the head.?ft/change. I Mistake Not a Sii. To Pere Monsubre, the dis- j tinfrjiished French ureaoher. there i O A came one Sabbath, after mass, a lady who insisted that she must see him on an affair of great importance. It was a matter of conscience, and she explained that she' was mo3t seriously disturbed. In j fact, she was sadly given to vanity. | That very morning, she confessed, ; she had looked in the glass and had I yielded to the temptation of think ing herself pretty, Pere Mousabre looked at her; "Is' that all, my daughter?" "That is all." "Then go ia peace, for to make a mistake is not a sin."?February LippincotVs j i ANOTHER CASE OF ASSAULT In Hebron Section-Negro Girl tbe Victim?Assailant Lodged In Jail. Another case of assault with intent to ravish is reported from the Hebron section. This time the victim of the lecherous scoundrel's lust is a colored girl and the negro charged with the crime, who goes by the name of Robert Burgess, is said to be a cousin of Johnny Rose, who doubtless by the time these lines are read will have expiated his crime on the gallows. Robert Burgess was brought in last Saturday by -Magistrate McElveen and is now in jail, but the crime he is? charged with took place, we understand, nearly two Weeks ago. The family of negroes to which the victim of the assault belongs is said to be of very respectable standing and if the evidence supports the accusation it will doubtless go hard with the alleged rapist. flatten at Needy.
