Legislative correspondent, we are i deprived of his final communication * , j describing at first hand the stirring ? ! scenes enacted at the Capitol during t ' the closing hours. Along with scores Q ' | of his other friends hope to see Sen- ^ *; ator Epps out again fully restored J ^ j to health. : I , 1 i So far as we could determine , from the fragmentary reports of the' (i Legislative doings that \^ere printed; t A . j n the daily papers, the Williams)urg delegation, both in the House ind in the Senate, stood for ecojiony all the way through. Messrs Chandler, Graham and Epps were here until the curtain rolled down md the lights went out. Mr W I Nexsen has acquired the >wnership of the valuable lot at Southwest Main and Academy treets. The purchase price, accordng to our information, was $4,500. lumor says that the owner will erect hereon a modern modern mercantile ind hotel building?a structure that vill be in keeping with the valuable ite and the spirit of "Greater Cmgstree." We Jiave received a report of the leath' tf^lady from a correspondent it Wc in. The letter bears no ignati except that it comes from i friend. ' Again we re-iterate that ve are ndc permitted to publish any ;ind of letter or communication irithout knowing who the writer is. This rule applies to all; so if you lon't want to sign your name save our stamps. Correspondents must furnish their eal nafnes with every letter, no natter how often they write. "Roseiud" does all right to appear in rint, but we must know for our irotection who he or she is. Also re must again remind corresponents that their letters should be rotten on one side of paper only, t delays the type-setter to have opy written on both sides of the heet, especially When pages are eratically numbered. In justice to the restaurant prorietors in town, we feel it our duty o state that, according to our best iformation, the oysters that caused itomaine pqisoning in Mr Gaskins' ase, as mentioned in our Lake City orrespondence, were not fresh oysers, but cove or canned oysters. Ve make this explanation lest unounded prejudice should be formed gainst our local purveyors of the ittcious bivalve, who are very careul to serve only the kind that are ot only fresh but above suspicion, 0 far as wqfhave ever heard. It is lso gratifying to hear that the vie- i im of the ptomaine poisoning is \ onvalescent, or nearly so. A Teacher of the Old School. Mr J J Brown, Sr, of Florence is 1 town this week visaing relatives. Ir Brown is a type of the old-time :hooI-master, who taught anywhere rom 9 to 14 hours a day and never I eard of phonics, calisthenics, Del- ( arte and all the other fads and isms" that mark the modern "proessor." Undefc the old field methyls, by the way, were produced such itellectual giants as Calhoun, Webter, Clay and all the rest of that right galaxy of stars that irradiatd the nation's capital and commandd the applause of listening Senatrs. Mr Brown has just returned from n extended trip to Alabama and "lorida, where be lingered pleasant-; r among kindred and friends new ' nd old. _ 1 The Birmingham Age-Herald lakes the following note of Mr ' Irown's visit to that city: J J Brown, father of Robert A j irown and a brother-in-law of; layor Culpepper Exum, is spending le holidays in Birmingham with elatives. He is from South Carona, where he is extensively identi- | ed with the development of that tate. j ! Mi Brown has been much inter- , 3ted in the city of Birmingham and istrict, a great deal of which has een shown him during the past few i ays by Mayor Exum and Robert Irown. "I am very much impressed with ( he vitality of this city and the prosects for the future," he said yeserday." Few other cities have iven me the same impression of reatness as Birmingham. The city > wonderful for its years, and I am leased to see it has eclipsed some of he older cities of the South. Birningham is abundantly blessed with hose elements of nature which go nake up a great industrial center, ^nd it only remains, in my judgmen a nfili*va fVio UQot llCU It, 1U1 I1ICU1 bU UMIIM.

If any one comes lere not only is he impressed with | he tact that Birmingham deserves very bit of the returns, but it is he almost unanimous opinion that ven half has not been told. I am rery enthusiastic over the prospects j lere. The people here are real huslers and the kind that are preservng the finer instincts of the South.
