Columbia, June 3:?The Georgia and Alabama Legislatures meet in July.and by request Senator McLaurin has prepared State warehouse bills for introduction. Senator J 0 Adams of Georgia will lead the fight and Senator McLaurin has agreed to go before the committee to which the bill is referred. Accompanying these bills is one to regulate the grading of cotton,which was drafted to introduce in the South Carolina Legislature last winter. Congressman William H Murray of Oklahoma has also requested copies of these bills, and they will be presented to the Legislature of that State when it next assembles. There can be no doubt that there is a systematic and determined effort on -11 i-L - O a.t_ J. _ I iuut an over uie oouin 10 conserve the waste from the farm to the mill. Senator McLaurin said that "we have a law of weights and measures, which is applied to every product except cotton. A man is severely punished who shortens the yardstick or lessens the bushel or pound. Why not cotton? The United States has established grades for cotton, but to be effective in law there must be State legislation formally adopting the standard and fixing a penalty for the violation thereof. We have legal weighers; why not legal graders?" i The bill to regulate the grading of cotton is as follows: AN ACT TO REGULATE THE GRADING OF COTTON. I Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: Section 1. That from and after the passage of this act, baled cotton offered for sale ill South Carolina shall be graded a.nd classified according to the standard grades fixed by the United States Agricultural Department. s Section y.. That any person grading baled cotton offered for sale shall obtain a license from the State Warehouse Commissioner, who shall issue a commission to such person to grade cotton in the State of South Carolina, only after an examination, which shall satisfy him of the competency of the applicant to properly classify and grade cotton according to the State's standard grades. Section 3. Any person grading baled cotton offered for sale, without a license as herein set forth, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not more than one hundred dollars or imprisonment for not more than thirty days for each bale of cotton graded by him without a license as herein set forth. Section 4. Whenever satisfactory proof is made to the State Warehouse Commissioner that any person to whom a license has been granted under this act does not grade cotton properly according to the United States standard grades, it shall be the duty of the State Warehouse Commissioner to revoke the license of such person. Section 5. Any person who shall wilfully misgrade a bale of cotton offered for sale in South Carolina shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, each bale constituting a separate and distinct offense, punishable by a COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Of Old Johnsonvllle High School Held Last Week. Venters, June 7:?The fourteenth annual commencement held at Venters on May 30, 31 and June 1, proved to be a threat success in every way. The whole community feels very proud indeed of this dear old school which has so bravely stemmed the flood these fourteen years and notwithstanding the many and fierce oppositions against her we can all say with pride that this last year has been the most successful one in her history. We feel that it is due to the corps of capable teachers and good trustees, and the patrons and friends of the school not only appreciate their work but honor them for it. At the begin ning or this school in October there was a debt of $400.40. This has been paid, and, too, every teacher paid in full and old Johnsonville school can say what she has never said before since the school was founded in 1901?that she is out of debt. On Sunday morning, May 30, Rev A T Lindsay, from Linwood College, N C, preached the commence- % ment sermon to a large congrega- . ' tion., His talk should be an inspiration to everybody that heard him. On Monday evening, May 31, the grammar grades and high school entertained an audience of about five hundred with the following programme: Choi us "Hail, Orpheus, Hail" R E DeReef Short Play "Which Will He Marry?" Operetta "The College Girl and the Milk Maid" Short Play.. "MrsStubbin's Book Agent" Chorus 4 4The Monarch of the Woods'' Cherry Bracket. Tuesday evening,' June 1, there was even a larger crowd than on the preceding evening and the exercises were very interesting, touching and , beautiful. The graduates were ushered on the stage by little flower girls and then the audience was led in prayer by Rev P B Ingraham, after which a number of beautifully dressed girls joined the graduating class in singing the chorus: "Come to the Gay Feast of Song", by R E DeReef. The graduating exercises were as follows: Salutatory Miss Bertha Ard History Mr Davis Newell Will. Miss Marie Flowers Music Miss uiondeJie uockneici Prophecy Miss Leah Eaddy Valedictory Mr Ottis Huggins Class Song "When You Come to the End of a Perfect Day*' Senator Smith was to have made the address, but as it was impossible for him to be present, Rev P B Ingraham ably filled his place and all seemed to enjoy and appreciate his address equally as well as they would have done one from Senator Smith. His words reflected credit both on himself and the school. The little flower girls then brought in great armfuls of beautiful flowers and banked them at .the feet of the seniors, with many beautiful presents. Rev Mr Ingraham then made an address to the trustees that was j equaliy as good as his previous one to the school. He delivered medals to the following: Spelling?Clarice Hug-' gins, Adrie Lewis, Eudie Dunnahoe, Rena Cox.Verna Ard, Sadie Springs; attendance and deportment?Clarice Huggins; scholarship in 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grades?OttisHuggins(med' al given by trustees); second best average in same grades?Bertha Ard (medal given by principal). Violet Huggins was given a beautiful doll for being the best speller among the little tots. Rev Mr Ingraham then delivered the diplomas. The present corps of teachers was re-elected, as follows: Misses Bessie Huggins, Sue Stanley, Christine Newell and Kenneth Huggins^music teacher to be elected). Corresponding Secretary.

A variation of twenty-five points from the United States standard grade shall constitute prima facie evidence of wilful intent on the part of the person grading the cotton offered for sale. Section 6. A fee of five dollars for each license issued by the State Warehouse Commissioner shall be collected for same. Section 7. That all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act be, and the same are hereby, repealed. Log Cabin Philosophy. De rocky road is sometimes de safest. De man-killin' 'mobeels don't travel it.
