Harbison,-which occurred at half past j three o'clock last Monday morning, Shelby ville and Shelby county lost a , citizen whose acquaintanceship and ( friendship were hohors to all who enjoyed them. We knew him inti- , mately as man and boy for nearly a ha'f century, being "Dodd's boys" tof,ether back in the sixties. As a ( boy he was kind, courteous, truthful and honorable, and never at aqy time, from then until his death, has anyone had occasion or right to say otherwise of -him. Ben Harbison not only merited, but he was accorded the highest respect and esteem that could J>e given to any man. He was a good man in every sense of the word, and his family has lost a loving and dutiful husband and father, his church a devout and zealoOs member, and the community a model citizen. Mr. Harbison was 57 years of age and was born and reared in this county. He was a prominent and successful farmer until two years ago, when he leased his farm and moved to town on account of poor ' health. He suffered of , Bright's j. . k REVIEW OF WORK | BY UPPER BRANCH Some Important Measures Passed? Twenty-eight Items in Appropriation Bill Passed Over the Governor's Veto. Many matters of interest came up und were disposed of in the senate last week, among them being the commission form of government hill, the bill exempting aliens from the primary, the juvenile court measure and the passing over the governor's veto of 28 items in the appropriation bill. The bill that would take the office }f commissioner of agriculture, commerce and industries out of the appointive power of the governor and place it in the primary was again called up for consideration Wednesday night when the senate reconvened. The proviso for the present commissioner to remain in office until the elected commissioner shall have been qualified was stricken out. This was done, it is said, on account of the governor's objections. Through Senator Appelt he conveyed to the senate the information that if this provision remained in the measure he would veto it, and Uso promised that if it was killed that he would retain E. J. Watson n office. The senate adopted the free con erunce report on me warehouse bill rhureday night and it was signed ay the governor and is now a part )f the law of the State. This bill provides that three commissioners ihall be appointed and that they will establish a system of warehouses to (tore cotton. A resolution by Senator Carlisle vas adopted Thursday night to give ,he employes of the senate extra pay for the services rendered during ixtca week. The pay of the reading ilerk was also raised from $300 to 1400. COMMISSION PLAN. The bill that will allow towns beween 4,000 and 10,000 inhabitants o vote on the commission form of {overnment bill was called up in the mn&te Thursday and passed over the povernor's veto by ?i vote of 29 to 4. Ibis measure had previously been icassed by the house over the objecion of the governor. The Younan's amendment to the Charleston commission bill, extending the time tl lowed for registration, is a part of .he law of the State, and its provilions will govern the primary under his bill. The items of the appropriation bill hat the house sent to the senate, lumbering 28, were all passed over he governor's veto Saturday afterloon and night. The supply bill was passed after he adoption of the free conference eport. The measure that provides for an lection on a $1,000,000 bond issue or the erection of buildings for the itate Hospital for the Insane was laesed by the senate after much delate. The bill that will provide for a uvenile.court was passed in the senite Saturday. The alien citizenship bill, that will irohibit other than qualified citizens larticipating in the primary, was jassed over the governor's veto by a ,-ote of 22 to 11.?Monday 's State. Notice.
