The Revision Of the Laws.
The judiciary committees, constituting
the revision committee, are still working
very late at night on the revision of the
laws, and are nearly ready to make their
report. They are now reviewing the work
otthe sub committees in full committees
They have taken two copies of the report
of the revision commissioners, books
about the size of the present revised laws,
and have written in their proposed changes
making the whole uniform in form and
expression. These books, when COM
pleted, go to the respective houses one be-
ing introduced into each as bill. Accom-
panying the bill will go printed report of
the revision committee, pointing out the
changes that have been made from the re-
vised laws as they now stand. If the leg
islature accepts the work of the revision
committee without much question the
matter will be easily and quickly disposed
of.
The Rutland Fight.
We have heard but little about the Rut-
land fight for day or two, but it is most
likely the usual calm preceding the Storm

which they received at Rutland may or

The Normal Schools.
The subject of our normal schools and
the relation which the state sustains to
them is coming to the front. A few DAYS
ago Senator Dale introduced a resolution
instructing the committee on education to
investigate the matter. Today the ques-
ton came up again, when the committee
reported adversely to taking action. This
brought out Mr.. Dale, who was thoroughly
aroused and made one of the best speeches
that the session has produced resulting in
a unanimous vote adopting his resolution.
The state granted aid to the three normal
scnOOls last year 10 an amount exceeding
$4,000. In one case it is said that the
state aid paid almost the entire running
expense of the school. Many think that
one central, first-class normal school, run
and owned by the state would accomplish
better results and at no greater cost.
The special committee to investigate the
costs of commitments to the house of
correction, of which Mr.. Hines of Brattle-
boro is house chairman, have had several
sessions, and are making thorough inves-
tigaton, but as yet have reached no salts

The senate bill to promote the establish
ment of free public libraries has become a
law and much is hoped from it by those
interested in the subject. 1t provides for
a state board of library commissioners, who
are to serve without pay, to be appointed
by the governor. Any town not now hav-
ing one may establish free public library,
make application to the commissioners for
aid, and receive such aid to an amount

The Herald makes the point that the
Columbia journal is advocating the
constitutional convention while the
ADVERTISER opposes It, w. w. Ball
being the editor of both papers. AS
Mr.. Balls name appears at the head OF
the ADVERTISERS columns the Herald
strictly and technically speaking, was
justified in its Inference. 1t is well
enough known in Laurens that the
Journals editord did not write the AD-
vERTIsER's articles opposing the con-
vention nor did he inspire them, but
solely to dispel the ignorance Of the
Herald 1t Is here stated. 1t may also
be stated that editorials are sometimes
written for the ADVERTISER with
which Mr.. w. w. Ball does not agree,
but with the publishing Of which he
does not care to interfere. Bitterly as
Mr.. w. w. Ball as an editor is opposed
by the Herald it is q matter of surprise
that even it should intimate that he
has "straddled" on any question.
Mr.. w. w. Ball is earnestly and
cordially. in favor Of q constitutional
convention.

This opinion is based upon observation Of its effects upon my patients
