The General Assembly should be oonyoksd q,
ouoe. Worry important Measures aud Acts failed
to receive the 'JeA nam6sr" Of readings In the
Lobby at ehe Extra Session, and by sheer aooi.
dent few Acts, together With other tbipgs
generally, were left ON the Clerks. table and
failed to secure tho Governors great hand seal.
Our dear legislators had 90 much ON the 5rat,.
and under Mstr shi.ts that II was impossible TO
empty the orc aud dilute tho olAsr In 80 short
limo as thirty days, that they might legislate
intelligently. The Regular Session was truly q
magnificent humbug, and reminded the one.

tho show man posting up his "world renown

Beaver hats and kid gloves had Significance,
and tho boom In prices soon advanced beyond
the reach OF those receiving less than five dollars

olew one lung out procaming from the top Of
sne court house that the Extra Session was
pregnant With big things. In fact It made $50
much ado about nothing that the neighbors
during tho sitting of this session would all moot
on Wednesday night see what on earth had
!hfaprkned. The short comngs Of the Regular
Session had to bo galvanized into responsibility
by some process, and to secure this end some
log rolling" was necessary, and all hands wens
to tho Iogrolting. Put this down in your memo
randa that the ''onc. legged Grips" will break
the wooden legs that tho Regular Session gave
them and tho Extraordinary Session took away

our dear legislators, tho State witnesses will put
up their Fifty cents per day" and get Col. w.
7. koith 70 throw sand in their eyes as he did
in tho eyes Of tho citizens of Oconeo in tho
Moore-Bryce case.
These ''contcmptible Grips and State wit
noses intend that our dearly beloved lcgisla-
tors shall not DO ''counted out by FOULS" but if
possible make 'home run" in the next elec-
tion. They want "fair vote and honest COUNT
for these gentlemen whose plant minds can
both give and take away tho wooden legs of the
poor Confederate soldier between drinks.
"Js.sticia fiat calum rudt"
These "crips and witncsses' ore not insensi-
bio to progress and enterprise. When the Blue
Ridge Road scheme was up before tho extra
ordinary Session" they held "lovo FEAST when
tho bill passed the full number of readings in
both houses, and did actually receive the Gov
ernor's approval before tho adjournment. Again
these voters "killed the fatted calf" when tho
Trustees Of the South Carolina University do
termned to open its doors in July. Again the
Charleston and Columbia canals held warm
places In their minds and hearts, hence the
unselfsh natures of these "orips and witnesses. !"
Now in their great love and charity for all
mankind, fearing something more might happen
to the country, they insist on an Extraordinary
Session upon the following grounds:
lst That Judge Thomson be waited on md
mado to explain why no holds his pen in his fist.
Every school boy in Oconee is playing Judge
Thomson. This manner Of pen holding Is
damaging to schools and colleges. "McGowan
says 10 harm is meant"
3D. Was the Regular Session a reality or
myth?
3D. Who struck Billy Patterson? Millions for
the answer in Georgia.
4tl. Has winter como and gono and left us in
this fix?
9th. If so, should not the Lord-Mayor of
Walhalla, Gen. Bicmann, detail the college nrn-
fessors to find out the in,cardness Of things and
inform tho Extraordinary Session that tho clerk
Of the weather might lose his wooden leg.
9th. Would another Extraordinary Session
raise us out our boots? "MORE ANON"
