In Executive Session.
The Senate went into executive session
at 1870 pm. today on motion of Senator
Sherman chairman of the committee on
foreign relations. While the main purpose
of the session was to consider the Anglo
American arbitration treaty, rhe early part
of it was devoted to nominations on the
regular calendar.
The question of the publicity that was
given to yesterdays proceedings in execu-
tive session formed the first subject taken
up In connection with the treaty, and there
was sharp debate on this point. The ques-
ton was brought up by Senator Vest.
When the preliminaries had been dis
posed of Senator Morgan resumed his
speech which he had begun yesterday in
opposition to the treaty. He was followed
by Mr.. Stewart, who also took strong
ground against ratification of the treaty in
Its present form and intimating opposition
to it in any form.
The senators who voted for open doors
made humorous speeches. in which they
said that it would be better to have the
treaty considered in public, and there would
then be no question of leaks.

Has Not

There is an old woman in Charleston,
says the Post, who has not been on the
Battery since the var and has not been
on King street in fifteen years. This
may seem like a fairy tale to many, but
it is Il true statement. She is not Il
cripple, either, but is as we'll and strong
as Il woman could expect to be who
had reached the age OF "a years. She
lives in the western part of the city,
within Il few squares of King street,
and ear the Rutledge avenue street
car line.
Another remarkable thing about this
old lady is that she has never seer the
electric cars and has no desire to see
One. she says. She was asked by Il
friend of hers the other day to join her
in IL trolley ride. but she declined with
thanks. saying she did not care to ride
on anything that was propelled by UNI
seen power. Law me-" she said. when
asked to take Il trolley ride, do you
think I'd get on of those ears that
are run by electricity? I could not be
induced to take M of those electric
rides. You are fooling with something
you can't see."
AS befol. stated. the old lady has
no been on the Battery since the war;
Notwithstanding repeated efforts have
been made by friends and relatives to
get her to visit this beautiful place, all
appeals fell on deaf ears. She would
reply when asked: "Thank you, 1 do
o care to go"
Other than this, no excuse was ever
offered. Often times she has been
asked by her friends why she did not
care to go on the Battery, or why she
had not been there since the war, but
never n reason did she give. The old
lady is a genuine rebel, and says she
has never surrendered. and never will.
In her house is a large Confederate
flag suspended from the wall in her
room, and 1t is said she sits under It
hours at n time and knits stockings.

Another Address.

A crisis of vital Importance is pre-
sented to the voters of a portion of An
derson County in the election which is to
be held on the 2Gth day of June, to de-
eide whether a section of this county
shall be taken to form the new county of
Honea Path; it is a question that should
be well considered by every voter.
Tho new county, if formed, will be
composed of sections from Abbeville,
Laurens, Greenville and Anderson coun-
tics, not adding any taxable property,
but making five counties and five sets of
county officers, where four TO- exist.
Will not this item alone increase taxes?
Anderson County, as it now stands, is
nearly square, with county scat near the
centre, amongst the lowest in tax levy,
with the best roads and road system OF
any county in the State, in fact the ban
ner county, a county of which every man
in it is proud of; and before WI distigure
it's symmetry and dissolve the ties of a
life time to boom the town of Honea
Path, we should weigh the matter we'll
and count the cost.
Greenville County has 4 floating debt
of $4,000, with a large bonded debt in
CURED in building the Air Line r. r. and
the Grccnville and Laurens Il. r., and
their tax levy for last year was, for all
purposes, II mills. Laurcns also has a
bonded L. r. debt of $4,000, the pro
rata part of which will have to be as
sumed by taxpayers of the now county;
also Sullivan township, in Laurens, with
Dunklin and Oak Lawn townships, in
