GREAT Britain AND THE CoNTINENr FRoz-
EN- OvRR. January 9.--It is now
tho seventh week of the prevalence of frcst
throughout the United Kingdom, with no
Signs Of abatement of the severity Of the
weather. From john O'Groat's house to
Lands End the country is wrapped in snow,
and the canals and streams are icebound
Even number of tidal rivers are frozen
fast. For the duration Of the frost period
this is the groa'est winter Of the century,
and, i'll point Of severity, the winters Of
1913 and 1914 alone exceed it; fairs were
then held on the ice Oh the Themes, Severn,
Tine and Tweed. Booths were reared on
the ice and oil the usual fair frolics were
held thereon.
Numerous deaths have resu ted from th Q
extreme cold, several of them at the very
gates of the work house, where groups Of
POOR people were waiiing for shelter. Mid
land newspapers declare that thousands of
persons in that region are in condition of
semi-staryation, many labprers being com.

death resulted from cold or hunger. In

Capt. J. T. Douglass for the Legislature.


Mr.. EDrToR.-I notice that suggestions
are being made 10 regard 10 the vacancy in
tho Legislature caused by the sad death of
the lamentcd DR.. Robert Little, and the
names of some excellent gentlemen have
been mentioned in that connection.
We have among US many true and capable
men who would represent the County Of
Unicn in . 1anner highly oreditable to
themselves and ,satisfac DRY to their cons,itu-
ents. In seekipg for the right man it would
be difficult toj select yNhers several have

who shall represent their interests at our State
Capitol, yet I,cannot but feel tha, the name
of JAMES 7. DOUGLASS will touch respou-
sive chord in the hearts Of his fellow citizens,
aud that no man will guard their interests
more zealously, or act with more wisdom
and prudence in the legislative halls than he.
The writer does not know whether or not
Capt. Douglass would consent to serve in
this capacity. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether he would accept the position if ten
dered him, but that is one of the reas ms
why We want him. We want man who is
not looking for the position, aud who hos ne
"axo 10 grind" Capt. Douglass is capable
worthy, and "the soul Of honor - let us
ask him to represent us.

A SENSATION ABOUT TuE TIRES C's ROAD.
Several capitalists interested in the Thre ee
C's Rad and its litigation csme TO Coium
bia quite unexpectedly late tonight. Among
these are Col. X. "A. Johnson and David Is.
Risley, who claims the road. 1t was learn
ed that the object Of Mr.. Ris'ey's visit here
was to interest the stockholders Of the ROAD
in ssis %sish Ra s
an assignment. 1t is said that Messrs Mel
ton & Melton and John wingste have been
retained a, his attorneys.
1t is known that he made proposition t.
night to gentleman Of Kershaw, who repre-.
sents 100000 worth Of the stock This
gentleman, however, declined 10 be let into
the arrangement. From what Mr.. Risly
said it will be his object, among other things,
to make the Construction Company account
for all the securities drawn from the Boston
Deposit and Safe Company. He estimates
that the 230 miles of constructed road and
the ninety miles of simply graded road could
only have cost about 81, ,5OO,G GOO. He also
believes that the Construction Company has
withdrawn $l4 100000 worth of securitie,
from the Deposit Company aud that the a.-
sets of the company sohuld show the d;f-
ference, that is to say, about $l1 900. 600.
Mr.. Risley declined to give the exac,
method by which he proposes to proceed.
The proceedings will begin about the 18th of
January 10 the United States Court. lie
also said that he had already made IN appli.
cation fora copy of the assignment schedule,
which he supposss to be or file in the Unite
States Court at Charleston.
