You might have taken this man K for a college boy?this tall, hand- }v some chap?but if you asked, you 111 found out tluit he was the untiring investigator of the dispensary? young Senator Neils Christcnsen j! from Beaufort. The big people of South Carolina 111 were all there, and some of them were mighty anxious to get out and 111 shake hands with the little ordinary 1,1 people who change to big people when the time for elections swingS" aj around.

Seats of the olumbia Record and in the olliee f that paper The Times man spent very pleasant hour last week. Just about twelve o'clock in the joining, the local reporters make leir daily trip to the state house ? get any news that may be driftig about there. Mr. Seats was ind enough to take Tiii: Times inn along and he had a most interring hour over in the eapitol. The governor's otlice was the first lace to which the newspaper men cut. It is large and well-lighted, it it has a very democratic and isinesslikc appearance. There are vcral framed documents on the all and a picture or two of great iterest. Near one of the large indows is a big table and here are ie county and city newspapers for fercncc and the telegrams filed lere for the use of the newspaper en.

He has stacks of cords, some of them going way ack almost to the time to the con ary whereof the memory of man mnetli not. And he has South arolina history down on his finger ps. If you look at him right aid, he'll tell you justexactly who our grandfather's uncle's sixth nisin was?that is if that person ved in South Carolina. He makes specialty of births and deaths, fe is performing a great service to outli Carolina and the legislature to be commended for its farghted wisdom in creating this iluablc ollice. Comptroller General Jones lives ext door. He is busy as a bee. (c is pleasant and hearty and looks ke what he is?a very busy business ian.. Over in the Attorney-General's [lice we saw that tine old gentleian of the old school, Leroy F. oumans, the recently ^ppoipted jsibtant attpfiiey general, and once tto'rney general under the bo?ved Wade Hampton.

The popular Adjutant-General as out of his office, but The Times rnn met there that genial soldier, ol. Ezra B. Fuller of the United tates Army, formerly commandnt at Clemson. lie is a raconteur f note and we heard him tell some xcellent stories about army life in ic West. He remembered many ' 11 ion men who donned their uniirins and volunteered during the panish-American war and he asked fter many of them, particularly fterCapt. J. E. Hunter, Dr. J. M. aw son and Mr. C. II. Norman. Over in the Supreme Court library e met another gentlemen of the Id school, John S.
