died on the 18th inst. The little cherub
had lived long enough to endear itself

to see them.
Will you permit me to make some
suggestions through your paper to the
members elect to the Legislature from
this county and through them to the
General Assembly, in the direction of
needed alterations and reforms in our
county and also in our State:
Abolish the office of School Commits
sioner and let his salary go into the
general school fund of the county.
Have the trustees appointed by the
Governor on the recommendation of
the members Of General Assembly,
to hold Office for two years or until
successors are appointed. The treas
urer to pay teachers on a warrant
signed by all three of the trustees.
Teachers to be examined by q special
Board of,EXaminers, appointed by State
Superintendent OF Education, said
board to be recommended by State
Senator. Examinations Of teachers
to be held once each year, to continue
not more than 4 days, and examiners
to be paid q fair per diem.
Repeal the law of 1891, I believe,
which applies to Laurens county, and
divides each township in the county
into six school districts, and let it be
as before, each township q school dis
trict.
We might give reasons for the above
but will not unless the matter attracts
notice and it becomes necessary to adj
vOcate it. SCRIBE.

members, beginning with The chemical
schedule. Senator Aldrich stated that
there were representatives of several in-
tercsts affected by the bill now in Wash.
ing,on asking to be heard by the commit.
tee as to tho changes made. He offered
resolution granting FIVE days for hearing
tho workmen's committee. Lost by q
strict party vote. The committee made
little progress with tho bill, only six items
being passed, and all of them were left
unchanged.
The senate finance committee was to-
day supplied with a tabulated statement
prepared by the treasury department
showing In detail the amount of revenue
which il IL estimated will be received
under tho senate bill, IL il should become
a law. IL is estimated under the Wilson
bill and comparing both with the returns
from the treasury department under the
present law for 1893. The statement also
gives the estimate of increase in the in
tcrnal revenue under the senate bill as
follows: Income, SO,0OO,O00; spirits, So.
