Mr. Ashley introduced a bill ii the IIou3e to expend- the time fo paving taxes to March 30th, 1901 without penalty. A hill was introduced bv Mi Cruin to require the several count; supervisors of this State to ctnplo; two or more road overseers in eacl county to superintend the workinj r>f all the rn.'ids of the entire county A copy of the minutes of thoSout! Carolina State Press Association, which ni"t at Glenn Springs, has beei received at this offico for which wi thank Secretary LangBton, the Edilo of the Anderson Intelligencer. Mr Langston lias filled the oflice of Secro tary of the Association very accept ably for a number of years, lie is mist faithful officer. mmammmmmmmmmmimmmacp The bi-enniai sessions bill won through the House with a big ma jority and only lacked one vote o passing the Senate. Tho excuse wa that the judges would have to be se lected each year, which Mr. Khrd the author of the bill, declared wa a very flimsy excuse. He is in fnvo of submitting the matter to a vote c the people. If it is thus snbrnittei we nredief bi-enninl sessions ns result. The people think it is get ting h'gh time to ecouomize, and w think they will l<e heartily in favo of a session every two years insteai of every year. $1,000 a day for fort; days means something to the tax payer, and we have about as man; laws now as we need and npparentl; more than we ran enforce. The bill introduced by Senato Herudon advocating Cheap Johi printing, regardless of circulation am responsibility, was killed, and ver; properly, by an overwhelming mujor ity. We take the position that tin legislators are the servants of th whole people; that when it is neces sary to give publicity to business o State or county, that a median should he used which will, as near a it is possible to do, reach the whol people, so that the information ma; bo general, for this service the Stab or county should pay a reusonabl rate, as neither the State nor iount, are objects of charity, and we canno e? why they should ask for specia concessions, or enter into a cut-throa and price-plashing business, whicl can but result in an inferior service which cannot attain ths ends aime< at. The Hwuse Tuesday, by a vote o 57 to 55 refused to strike out the en acting words of the child labor bil which had been made a special ordo for that day. This, while it does no necessarily mean the success of th< bill, wa-', at I he same time, a grea ictory for the advocates of the bill Some of the members lost thoir tern per# in the discussion. There is n< denying of the fact that it is serious 1 y injurious to the health of younj children to be ho ise i up all day ir * clos * 1 room where dust and lint i filling the air they breathe. Heside: this a child cannot he expected tc develop, a^nature|mtended, when it it kept constantly at work in such con flnement from morning till night It is stated that there are 80,(MX more negro children goiog to school i" in this State than white children. I this thing continuoi the day maj <*nme when the n-^ 'ro will ho t.ho vnf-m and the factory people disfranchise! on account of educational qualifies tion. It la too true that in raanj cases the dollar seems of more im portuuee in the eye of the pareni than the health aad education of th< ahHri. vf Vv, r f 4 ' ' mdt -V . . . * THE PISTOL LAW. _____ ^ "If South Carolinians pay any at tention to the law, there will soon b< a big change in Pistols. The law says that after the first of July 11 shall be unlawful to sell any pisto i in this State less than 22 inches lonf - and weighing less than three pounds It will be unlawful to carry thai " size concealed, just as it is unlawfu now to carry any size concealed, Th< dealers, however, will probably b< more careful to obey the law that the pistol-toters, or they may yen readily got into trouble; for it will bi nossihle for anybody to prosecute !oi - I * r ?r ? violution of the law. Should the dealers comply witl L) the law, the rising generation ma; a find it u somewhat difficult matte ?. to get guns of suitable size for thei _ everyday wear. Most of tho younj men, already grown, are supplied wit! the smaller and more porlablo size but the thousands of young fellow * who are just coining to the pistol-tot ing age of 12 to 20 will not find it s< easy. * It is said that most negro men especially the younger generation o them, carry their pistols to tho field with them and to churches and whet z ever else they go, considering then necessary nrt icles of apparel. To then - the new law will prove a hardship unless they can find some method o evading its provisions. Perhaps r though, there will be a sort, of blind tiger arrangement whereby the younj bloods of both colors can suppl; themselves with any size mankille they want."?Newberry Observer. "If South Carolinans puy any atten y tion to the law." This implies a doub y of their doing so. Is these doubts ex |j pressed by the various newspaper! regarding tnu uuiuacmuut uium inns " not in a nieusuro, responsible fo their non-onforcement and for th , apparent contempt that some peop' have for the laws which do no ^ happen to suit their notion? I e strikes us that it is. The violator i r ever ready to say, "why the law i . unpopular, even the newspapers don! _ think it will be euforced or heeded,1 thus the idea of resistance is implanl a ed in the mind of those affected, an confusion and trouble is the nature result. Would it not bo better fc t tho newspapers generally, instead c - giving publicity to these suggestiv if ideas which give the violator of th s law reasonable grounds to believ ! that a resistance upon his part wa , no more than was expected by th s best element of our citizen, tnking i r for granted that the newspapers ai 'f supposed to represent the better eh d ment; we say would it not be bette a for these sync newspapers to beni their energies to the task of impress e ing upon the mind of every reader o r their papers. That when an act be '1 comes a law, there can be no possibl y excuse for its violation, and when 1 - is violated, the punishment shout y follow? V Wo t.slfft tlio nrrniinrl flint, wtion measure is up for discussion is th r time to fight it if it is considered del n rirnental to the interest of those 01 j posing it, and wo concede th 7 right to uso every legitimat means for its defeat, while th , fight is open, but when the fight ha e been lost, no earthly good can b accomplished by suggesting that th f law is unpopular, and it is not en n pected that it will be obeyed or er forced. But such suggestions in publi e print are culculated to cause muc y trouble. 0 In regard to the merchants, the are generally composed of a la* v_ abiding element, and we doubt tha any of them will have the hardihoo to attempt a continuation of the sal of pistols after the time fixed by lai for them to stop the sale. We hop not at least. This is not meant as an attacl upon The Observer especially, for it remarks; for we believe that the Ed itor of The Oberver is as earnestly ii favor of stomping out this contempt : U1 ~ ^ ~ ,1 J r iuisJ auu uniigKruus prucbiw ui piste; t toting as we are, but we have rea< f comments from other editors tha t would lead one to believe that the; were set against the law and confi ' dently looked for it to be violated. Le " all obey the law and keep out o 0 trouble.

COUNTY OFFICERS SALARIES. . * The foe bill which passed the Sen5 ate has made some changes in (he ^ remunerations of the officers of Union 1 county among others. The salary of j the auditor remains at $800, with a foe of 25 cents allowed for every deed j ho records. The Supervisor's salary ; remains at the small amount of $000 3 Tno Treasurers, who formerly got i $9(J0 salary, has been cut to $800, 7 and is allowed 50 cents fee for each ? delinquent taxpayer instead of $1. Tho sheriff and clerk who have herei toforo been on fees havo been put on Y a salary, the sheriff $1,500 and 20 ? cents for dieting, instead of 110 conts, , as heretofore. This does not include h civil work nor the town work. The clerk of court has been put on a salH ary of $100 outside of the civil work. 5 An effort is being made to change these amounts so as to give the treas, urers a little more. They certainly de* serve more. They have to give a heavy 8 bond and the duties of Union's Treasn urer at least has increased a hundred i ioia in rno mst; ten years out tnc pay '? has not. lf The motion to put the sheriff-", | l' clerks and coroners on fees was r snowed under by a vote of 512 to 1. r THE PENSION BILL. The pension bill to raiso the amount k from $160,OCO to $200,000 'passed the .. House in Columbia last Tuesday. , The bill as it passed the House now , rends: r "Section 1. The sum of at least two hundred thousand dollars shall 0 bo annually appropriated to pay the e pensions provided for by this Act, it and in case the same, or such amount t as shall bo appropriated, shall bo ins sufficient, then the amount so appropriated shall be distributed propors tionately among those legally ent titled to receive the same : Provided " that those pensioners described in sub-division (a.) Section i, herein, ' shall have been first paid in full: Provided further, in case the same, il or such amount as shall be appropriir ated, shall be more than sufficient, then the amount so appropriated shall be distributed proportionately e among all those legally entitled to e receive the same. e Section 2.

The young people of the Prospect corner had a very nlco time at a sing* lug last night at the home of Mr. and 7 Mrs. J. W. Bobo.
