GENLRAL ASSEMBLY
MEETS NEXT TUESDAY
INAUGURATION DAY A WEEK
LATER-FORECAST OF SOME
IMPORTANT MEASURES.
Columbia, January 2:?Very little
has been said or written about what
the General Assembly may do at the
approaching session. The Legislature
convenes on'Tuesday, January
10, for at least a 40 day session.
That which has attracted most atI
tention thus far is the selection of
I Associate Justice of the supreme
L court. There are now four J ustices,
B as follows: Chief Justice Ira B
Jones, of Lancaster; Justice Eugene
B Gary, of Abbeville; C A Woods, of
Marion, and D E Hydrick, of SparBp
tanbvrg. Mr Jones was elected
Chief Justice after the retirement
of Chief Justice Y J Pope. Justice
Hydrick was the Justice elected for
the fourth position, following the
"elevation of Justice Jones to the
Chief Justiceship.
Among; those who have been men^
tioned for the new position created
by an amendment of the Constitution
are:
R Withers Memminger, of
' ' > i iL- ftiU
Charleston, Circuit juageoi me vw
circuit; Thomas B Fraser, of Sumter,
Chairman of the Judiciary committee
of the House and member of
that body for sixteen years; M L
Bonham, of Anderson; Ex-Governor
John C Sheppard of Edgefield, and
W B Gruber, of Walterboro.
Judge R C Watts will also be a
candidate for the Associate Justiceship.
This announcement was made
today by W H Stevenson, of Cheraw.
He said that the friends of Judge
Watts would press the campaign in
the General Assembly.
The press of the State has been
practically unanimous in the opinion
that a fifth Justice was needed on
account of the great amount of
work the supreme court has to do,
and also because of the fact that
with five Justices there would not be
a divided opinion with two on one
side end two on the other of a question.
Other reasons have been ad.
vanced. The constitutional amendment
passed at the general election
in November and at the session of
the General Assembly the new Justf
ice will be elected.

i will not hold the interest that the
j flection for the Justiceship will, but
/there will be considerable rivalry in
this matter also. It was necessary
7 - for Governor Ansel a few days ago
to select a Judge - the Hon William
^ TAycock, of this city?to hold Court
' here in January on account of the
death of Judge Dantzler.
Of most popular interest at the
coming session of the Assembly is
the beginning of the new administration
under the Governorship of
Cole L Blease, of Newberry. Mr

session, and a magistrate of Barnwell
is to administer the oath.
A new Lieutenant Governor and
| presiding officer of the Senate will
j take office also. Charles A Smith,
of Timmonsville. is the new Lieu|
tenant Governor, who succeeds
! Thomas G McLeod, of Bishopville,
who so wVll presided over the Senate
for four years,
i In the House the selection of
i former Speaker Mendel Snith, of
Camden, seems practically certain.
Mr Smith succeeds the Hon Richard
S Whaley, of Charleston, who held
j the Speakership of the House for
four years.
In the Senate and House there
i will be elections for various posi-1
tions in the two bodies that will attract
some interest. There will
hardly be any changes of conse- j
quence.
Mr James A Hoyt, of Columbians
clerk of the House. He will be opposed
this year by J Wilson Gibbes,
i of this city, who was assistent clerk f
j of the House. There will probably
i be races in one or two other House ]
positions. In the Senate M M:
Mann, of St Matthews, is the clerk,:
and the assistant clerk is A M Lumpkin,
>>f Columbia. No opposition
has been mentioned so far to these.!
Another appointment is the secre-'
tary to the Lieutenant Governor. 1
To outline a Legislative programme j
for the 1911 session would be diffi-j
cult, inasmuch as there is not one
big topic facing the people of the i;
State at this time. For fifteen or'
more years whiskey held the atten- j
tion of Legislatures, but now that 11
question is in the background. ji

has run the round of the liquor
problem. *
A Drainage Act has been prepared
and will be submitted to the
General Assembly for passage. In
the draft of this ?ill the following
is the reason given: "In response to
a resolution of the State Farmers'
Union requesting the State department
of agriculture to carefully investigate
and examine drainage
laws and draft a proper measure."
The proposed drainage law is:
"A bill to promote the public
health, convenience and welfare
by leveeing, ditching and draining
the wet swamp and overflowed
lands of the State, providing for
J the establishment of levee or drainage
districts for the purpose of enlarging
or changing any natural
water courses and for the digging
of ditching or canals for securing
better drainage or providing better
outlets for drainage for tuilding
levees or embankments and installing
tide gates or pumping plants
for the reclamation of overflowed
lands and prescribing a method for
so doing, and providing lor the assessment
and collection of the cost
< ^ J : : I
ana expense ox me same anu issuing
and selling bunds therefor and for
the care and maintenance of such j
improvements when constructed."
Before any drainage isundertaken
the following would be inquired
into:
1. Whether the proposed drainage
is practicable or not. <

Substantial Appreciation.
Our Christmas issue and the qual-'
ity of the work of our head and hand
for the past year has elicited many
handsome compliments recently,
non? of which is appreciated more i
heartily than the following letter |
from an esteemed friend in an adjoining
county who has been a subscriber
to the paper for a number
of years:
"Editor County Record:?I was so
pleased with your Xmas issue that j
I mailed it to my sister Mrs.
and have decided to send the paper j
to her as a Christmas gift and also i
remit a renewal for Mr and j
myself. I love Kingstree dearly and '
wish Williamsburg would join the!
corn enthusiasts and have a fair. Our 1
Civic society had charge of it this
year and it was a success.
Why don't Greelyville and Salters
spnd communications? I miss them.
My little children enjoyed the
"Santa Claus" number.
Wishing The Record success.
Respectfully,
Florence, S C, Dec 27.
Our friend is not more anxious
than we are to secure correspond
dents at Greelyville, Cades, Salters
and several other points over the
county. But they just won't write,
although we have offered and still
offer any reasonable inducement.?

TO TOBACCO PUNTERS
Of Williamsburg and Ad|ofoii| Coun
lies.
Gentlemen: ?
I take this method of speaking to
you. I want to urge upon you to
get busy and burn your plant beds,
and plant all the tobacco you can
possibly take care of. I want you
to get the benefit of the short crop
that will be planted. There will be
at best only 50 per cent of last
vear's cron Dlanted over this side of
the Pee Dee, where last year was a
short crop. So, this year, you see
will be just about half of last. I
wonld not ask you to increase if I
did not know what I am talking
about.
You will see prices this year higher
than you have ever seen South
I Carolina tobaccos. So I want you
, all, especially those that live in
Kingstree, to get the benefit of the
high prices. I am not advising you
from a personal motive, but for
your own benefit.
I will be in position this year to
handle and buy more tobacco than I
have ever bought before, and competition
will be strong. Wishing
you, one and all, a prosperous New
Year.
Yours to serve,

Somewhat of a sentation was
sprung here yesterday by the arrest
of eight negroes charged with selling
whiskey. It seems that ever since
before the holidays began, about
twenty days ago, a detective has
been quietly at work getting evidence
against the9e parties and
now that the work is completed the
drag-net of the law has made its
haul. While only negroes have
been arrested up to this time, it is
said that the detective has evidence
against several white men for the
same offence. Whether or not these
will be arrested remains to be seen.
Until yesterday only a few people
knew that the detective was here, so
quietly has he been working.

Dear Friend:

too strong or too weak

something, but now
every morning when
