Representative J J Eaddy of Leo was painfully hurt some days ago. He had started with Mrs John M Eacfdy for Johnsnnville in the latter's auto,when the car skidded into a ditch in turning out to pass a wagon in a narrow place.

Columbia, Jan 17:?The first of the elections scheduled for holding by the General Assembly took place T?An*- Aiio/tiiif nrno Manual tuuajr. ruui vuv^uiw juugco, ua^uuvi L Smith, of Camden, of the Fifth circuit; Thomas S Sease, of Spartanbur?, of the Seventh circuit; R Withers Memminger, of Charleston, of the Ninth circuit, and George W Prince, of Anderson, of the Tenth circuit, were chosen, without opposition to succeed themselves. The first contest was over the election of superintendent of the State penitentiary, to succeed Col J D Griffith who retired. Mr A K Sanders, member of the House,from Sumter county, and formerly chairman of the penitentiary board of directors, was elected on first ballot over Dr L K Sturkie, of Orangeburg, J H Gosnell, of Spartanburg, P H Lesesne. secretary of the penitentiary board, J S Huffman, of Richland, and L C Wharton, of Union. The most important legislative i step today was in the introduction 1 of a brief bill, by Senator Evans, of i Marlboro, repealing the Laney- \ Odom insurance bill. The bill is not \ over four lines in length and simply undertakes to repeal the Laney- 1 Odom act passed in 1916. Mr Evans i states that this would simply restore 1 the insurance status that existed i prior to 1916 and which he thinks 1 was all right. He says his people 1 want insurance and for hi3 part, he i is quite willing to stand on the laws that have heretofore existed aryd s quit. This bill is not a part of nor > does it harmonize with the rate i making bill suggested by the com- 1 mission. 1 The formal acceptance of the res- > ignation of John L McLaurin was 1 accepted by the House this morning 1 by agreeing to the Senate concurrent resolution to this effect. * The first skirmish in the prohi- < bitian fight arose in the House this < r???n,'nr? mhflr PonrPQpntfltivp RtfhpV j IJll'l Ulllg TTIIVU AHV ^/1 Vwrw??VM?> ... v j moved to recall from the committee ' on police regulations his bill for 1 j iron-clad prohibition by knocking I out the gallon a month allowed at the present for personal use. Mr I Richey wanted his bill to go before ; the House without reference so it could be taken up immediately. Mr W L Daniel, of Saluda, thought it i unwise to consider bills without committee report. The House tabled the motion to recall the bill from the committee. State-wide compulsory education is provided for in a bill which will be introduced in both branches of the General Assembly tomorrow by the Marlboro delegation. The bill will provide for a minimum school term of six months for all public schools and will require all children between the ages of eight and fourteen years to attend school every vnor fnr that lontfth of time. Indications tonight are that the joint resolution for a vote by the people of the State on the question of granting equal suffrage to the women will pass the Senate by a good majority. It is said that a poll of the Senate showed at least twenty-seven Senators favorable to the I resolution, which is now before that body with a favorable report from the judiciary committee.

It affords a carefully prepared seedbed for the germs of colds, grip, tubereu'osis and pneumonia. It so disarranges Nature's delicate plans as to make possible asthma, hay fever and other Respiratory disorders. It spreads until it becomes systemic, thus involving many or! gans and debilitating the entire ' system with serious results. Catarrh is easily neglected, and I It rarely gets well of Itself.

L. to be Doable Tracked from Florence to Lanes. It is learned on very good authority that the Atlantic Coast Line has let the contract for double tracking its line from here southward, and that work will be started at once on the section from here to Howes. This will be of the greatest benefit to the company in enabling it to get its trains in and out of Florence with ess delay. The experience of the oad with the time saved when the vork of double tracking from here ;o Pee Dee was campleted was a valuable object lesson. This work will bring a large conduction force in this vicinity, who vill do a large part of their trading n Florence if they can get what they vant here, and from all reports that :ve get, these construction gangs do sot get anything like the liquor that they used to get; their money is spent for something el3e. The Coast Line is already double tracked from Lanes to Charleston and this section has needed it badly for 3ome time.
