The two Houses have agreed to < adjourn sine die tomorrow night at ^ 9 o'clock, but of course the legisla- 1 tive day may be extended several ( days.

The caucus means that if tome of the items are in the bill it will be vetoed by the Governor and lis veto sustained, for, although the Souse is anti-Blease, it lacks the accessary two-thirds to override the reto and the administration minor ity can sustain all of the vetoes by noting solidly behind the actions of the Governor. There is some talk of John Gary Evans and Representative W F Stevenson entering the race for the United States Senate against Senator E D Smith and Governor Cole L Blease. LFFECTING WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY. Measures affecting Williamsburg county passed by the Legislature ire: Bill annexing portion of Carenion county to Williamsburg. Bill authorizing County Board to borrow money for ordinary and jchool purposes from sinking fund commission. Bill to require all passenger trains to stop at county seats. Bill requiring magistrates in the county to hold inquests without compensation was killed when it reached the Senate by motion of Senator Eppe. Bill repealing section 8 of Rural Police law which requires policemen to act as magistrates' constables was killed when it reached the House on motion of Representative Kirk. The magistrates' bill, however, was amended in the Senate so as to annul the legal force of section 8 of the police bill?providing that each magistrate appoint his own constable. Bill providing an extension for open season of one month for fishing for shad will permit the catching of shad during the month of April. Bill which passed the House provided for an election on the stock exemption law, by authorizing the county auditing board to order said election after thirty days from date of order upon two weeks' public notice of same.

Lake City, March 3:?And we didn't have to go North to have it, ei tK#>p? Thp lovplv snow, followed to its usual slushy aftermath, came ir all its glory last Wednesday after noon, covering everything with t beautiful mantle of whiteness, onlj to be spotted and spoiled with sleet, and the next day's warm sunshine tended to melt it- no little. How ever, today there are several feet oi snow, where it has been shoveled ir heaps, to remind us of the largesi snow-storm that we have enjoyed (?' since 1912,and,besides, there are nu merous other evidences. Last Friday evening resident! within blocks around the Star wareKniico the qaIpq hnildinc owned by Col 0 T Hall,were startlec by a sudden din and crash when th? tin roof at the south end of th< building, which is undergoing re pairs, crushed, presumably with th< load of snow. The severe weathei Saturday and Monday prevented anyone from investigating the ruins but today when workmen re-co m menced the repairs, removing th? wreckage, it was found that the tw< main "jacks" supporting largi braces were nowhere to be found and have not been up to this writ ing. If such be the case, it is veri evident that foul play has been done The loss is quite an item; the wrecl will cost Mr Hall from one to tw< thousand dollars in having to plaa new tin roofing and additional lum beron that part of the building Several wagons and an automobile in the northern .part of the buildinj were untouched and very little dam age was done anywhere save to th< paft of the warehouse added to the main building. Another incident marred th< pleasure of the snowballing elemeni of our town, when a crowd imbuec with the snowballing fever attempt ed to pelt a prominent young man who resented the attack,drawing hii revolver to keep the men off, which so angered a certain young man thai he forgot his dignity to the extenl of using several expressions which were deemed quite improper by the Chief, and as a result both of the reductions in appropriation bill, except for the items providing funds for the common schools, all of which he supported. He also voted for the primary reform bill as proposed by the special committee appointed to draft the measure, but was opposed to the original Nicholson bill brought over from last session.

Sam was intensely imbued with the "white spirit" and called to his friend, "Jim," to enjoy the sport of pelting each other with snow.
