ure that the Laurens delegation has
not filled the Journals with unI cessary
measures nor taxed the State with
much mounthing. Their home constit-
uency will thank them. AT this writ
ing the It'll of this month has been
agreed on for adjournment. The SEES
sions began on the 14th;of January and
will cost more than a cool thousand a
day. In the meanwhile the whole
State clamors for an adjournment, g
short session and economical being
needed il ever, and strongly urged by
the Governor in his message, The AID.
vERTIsER agreeing with him on this

An admirer of Rev. Sam Jones,
Evangelist, desired to turn over the hall
OF the house to the preacher one night
last week Jones goes armed to the
teeth and loaded down with shot and
shrapnel for liquor vendors and erring
ways Of Legislators, and On that pro-
position n Carroll got the floor and
talked out the time to adjournment,
holding the floor; thus, having his
name coupled with the great Evange-
list he may leave "foot prints on tho
sands Of time"
When the terrapin bill came on for
action the "citizen" was very much in
terested; he did hot know that there
was a Commissioner of terrapins."
Berkeley, OF Charleston proposed to
send up a thousand pound cooter as a
kindergarten object lesson for the
mountain Observation-Disclosures, Pick
n and Oconee. GreenAille he excused,
as having q fair hack at the free lunch
on board the Sapho last week-the
G%reenville members know all about
the saphic ode-and sometimes they
speak in Greek. Fish, ducks, terra
pins absorbed a large share Of last
weeks debate. Our ''citizen" is all
abroad and our readers will sincerely
sympathize with him. A Mr.. Burns,
who w believe halls from the Ten
eriffe cliffs of Oconee don't want the
costs Of partition OF intestates lands to
cost over fifteen per cent. OF the value.
How beautiful for the snap fraternity
and the Court officers of Oconee if they
ha un n1t,olyoI thu rfroNno ~ fhof ,oortD,
at that figure. 1t is q burning shame
that Mr.. Burns has not before this
reached the theatre of his reforms
Mr.. Burns sympathizes with ''the poor
women and children" Mr.. Burns GER
tainly never heard of Judges Wallace
and Hudson who didn't allow women
and children robbed when they were
on the bench. 1t is sad news from the
mountains, whence We expect all purity
and noble examples of fair dealing.
Senator Fuller, Of Laurens, intro
duced a very sensible resolution, to
take all but $50, 900 of the privilege
tax from Clemson and give it to the
dear girls at the Winthrop College.
On next Saturday is fixed for closing
up the show-and we will have but one
more opportunity to deal with our
Statesmen. Our great complaint is,
that they have taken up too much
time in CAB; while they have passed
little needed legislation, we trust they
have done little harm except in the
matter Of eighty thousand dollars of
the peoples money which they have
spent.
Mr.. Breeland Of Berkeley, complained
to the House that Dennis the Senator
OF his county cursed him vigorously
to the shame of the army in Flanders.
The House took advice from their
great lawyers who reported that there
was no constitutional interdict against
that sort of vuIgarity and Breeland
must resort to the forum of conscience
and public opinion for satisfaction
There is danger of his own name being
"Dennis."
