The dainty whiteness makes for that cleanliness which is-the first and greatest requisite for a baby's health. Besides, prettiness is the only fit surroundincr for anv child. I\ou need a chiffonier and bureau in white enamel (perhaps we can show you how to do over your present pices) a good brass or iron crib with sides hi;rh enough to keep baby front falling, a rocking chair, straight hack chair and small table, also in white. These with a pretty ru>r, dainty wall paper, and muslin curtains, complete the room. Be careful to pet a STEARNS & FOSTER mattress, for it is the best. To a child, pood sleep means pood health, a sturdy body, a fresh, retentive mind. Even nervousness is often due to lack ?f realiv sound sleep. Get a STEARNS & FOSTER for the crib to-day.

The Capitol, Columbia, February I 6:?Reviewing the session of this | General Assembly so far spent, the . week just ended has been the one of most progress. Many local I measures have been enacted into i law. The ireneral sentiment is that the representatives know best what their constituents desire most and it is seldom that a dissenting voice is raised against a bill of local concern. But touch a general proposition or some interest of State-wide importance, and it means a fight to the finish. The marriage license bill, which has now passed both Houses, afforded an opportunity for much sentimental speech making, and the opportunity was not lost. The bill to bring to an end the merger suit produced a "legal battlqj' between the best lawyers of the Senate, which to hear was indeed worth one's while. Senator Carlisle led for the bill on the one side and Senator Clifton of Sumter headed the opposition. Senator Clifton's argument on this occasion was complete and came very near defeating the Pill. The final vote stood 21 to 17. While compulsory education has not been touched upon directly, a very subtle law has been enacted, which practically takes away from the factories all working children under 12 years old, putting the mill men under ]>enalty for violation of this law. The purpose of this law is good and if the desired results are accomplished, under its provisions, those of us who now op pose compulsory education may have an opportunity to learn much from the object lessons in many of the mill districts?and we may see things differently. The mileage bill which requires conductors to pull mileage on the train if a traveler fails to get a tick:: et at the station, caused quite an ? unexpected amount of debate, but r finally passed the Senate with a good majority and is now likely to become a law. _ A similar bill was killed at j the last session. I The drainage bill, which perhaps means more, one way or the other, for Williamsburg county than any other proposed legislation, in all probabilitylwill be passed at this session. The bill has been very carefully drawn. It is permissory and a community is not forced to come under its provisions unless a majority of the land owners petition for drainage, and even then if sufficient reason can be offered why drainage for any locality would not be practicable or beneficial, even though petitioned for and surveyed, the Clerk of Court is authorized to put an end to the enterprise. We believe that if this bill become a law it will soon be tried out and its merits proven. If practicable and it prove successful, the development of our county will begin in earnest and its possibilities will become limitless. The big educational bill seems to b2 sleeping and it is probable that n) one will bother to wake it up bsfore the next session. A good, bng nap is perhaps what it neeus most just at this time. A very liberal fish law for Clarendon and Williamsburg counties has passed the Senate and is now in the House. Should this bill become law, surely there will be no more complaint, unless it come from the folks who believe in strict laws of prohibition. With this law, together with the amended game laws as provided under a bill introduced by I Senator Epps, we think that our people as a whole, will be satisfied j along these lines. And let those ! who*differ remember that these things'do not affect the State's welfare or its material progress. Many of our citizens will be particularly interested to know that I *1 Will I I i bRMhIh^^ Dyf/ that northern portion of our county which recently became tired of the safe, sane and conservative ways of our gran.i old Williamsburg with its glorious ancestry, its precious history, its fertile fields and its noble citizenship, and failing in the attempt to set up a government of their own, at last turned toward fair Florence and asked for refuge ' ?that the section referred to has ' finally achieved their ambition and ' has been legally divorced and trans' ferred. What Williamsburg loses i now belongs to Florence. The appropriation bill has passec 1 the lower House and totals aboui one hundred and twenty thousanc j dollars more than the bill of las! i year. It is probable that the Sen ate will revise the bill and it is to be i hoped that the revision will bt downward. However, though the appropriations are larger, the tax levy has been reduced one half-mili for State purposes. This indicates the progress which our tax values are making. The House delegation has been figuring closely as to our county's needs and has concluded to make reductions which will make it possible to reduce our county levy one and one-half mills. This, with onehalf mill off of State taxes, will give <mi? nnmifu a rorlimfrinn rif tu/n mills UUl CVUUlrJ M IVUUVV1VK V* V ?? V And had it not been for the debt ot surveying Rutledge and other such like expenses, a still further reduction of one-half mill would have been possible. Hereafter new counties and transfers will pay their own expenses. Epps. STEVENS As International Standard by wkick all < otkers are being judged. HAMMERLESS REPEATING SHOTGUN Tb?
