Not long ago Hon. Leroy T. Carleton,
chairman of the fish and game commits
sion, was so successful in one of his hunt
ing trips. that he killed moose which
he brought home with him. 1t was an
immense fellow, and Mr.. Carleton could
not begin to give away the meat, so with
his associates of the board, and Hon. p.
q. Vickery, president of the Maine Sports
mems Association, he decided to dispose
of the remainder of the animal by CIV
ing a moose meat supper to the Governor
and Council, together with other guests.
Promptly at $50 o'clock, the distin-
guished party gathered about the tables
in Landlord Johnsons spacious dining

committee, who said that it was in aid
of negotiations now pending among the
representatives of the governments IF
the United States, Great Britain, Rus
STA and Japan.
Mr.. Pettigrew sharply antagoniZed
the measure, saying that this country
had already suffered more than enough
humiliation on account of the seal
business and that he favored the set
Element of the business by killing all Of
the seals. if by the first of June, next,
Great Britain also had not agreed TO
the prohibition of pelagic sealing. He
offered an amendment to that effect,
but it was defeated. The bill was

Mr.. Mcbride of Oregon, endeavored
to secure the adoption of his resolution
directing the secretary of war to sup
ply relief to the suffering miners in the

Editor Sunny South: have
been thinking for some time that
would write you something
about my trip through South Caro-

you these things While they were

no chance FOR writing while ! was

South Carolina has always been
noted for its superiority in cul-
ture and Intelligence and even
this fact has become a knowledge
to me away over in my western
home, where is supposed to live
superstition and ignorance, conse-
quently my state has been exceed
ingly felicitous. This reminds me
of fellow that | used to know
in one of the towns of our state
who had been employed by bu-
siness house for some time. He
was capital fellow, and held in
high esteem by the proprietors.
But after he had been with them
for number of years he got to
thinking that the firm could not
get along without him. OF course
this destroyed his usefulness, and
he was no longer needed. You see,
he didn't know it all. | think this
is the condition of some communi-
ties in South Carolina. They don't
know it all.
Away over in "Arkansaw"
heard of Ben Tillman; and not
withstanding he was sometimes
erratic In his public utterances,
l could not help admiring the
man. | hold that conditions make
men, and | believe in my heart
that there was a cause for Till
man. When | was in the state |
had my eyes open looking for the

of late years she was the first to
make movement presumably
against the greatest foe which
pure morality and civilization
has-the whiskey traffic. Imag-
inc my surprise then, when /
started to Anderson from Green
vile, and saw in the same coach
with the whites, several big, bur
lv, black negroes, | Involutarily
drew back, and asked by-stand-
er if that was the first class coach.
| could hardly believe him when
he replied in the Affirmative.
"Have you not separate coach
law in South Carolina?" | asked.
"No sir, we have not. 1t hes
been up before the Legislature
several times. but somehow it has
never passed"
Then l went to soliloquizing.
All, and this is IN old cultured
South Carolina. Why 'Arkansaw'
beats this, for we have separate
coaches. Bat chen maybe we have
them because we are ignorant of
the advantage derived from rid
ing together. Surely South Caro-
lima ought to know" SO | enter
ed the coach feeling that there
was something yet to be learned
in this life. | seated myself Just
in rear Of large fellow, and en-
joyed the sweeta and exhilarating
odors which flow out from this
peculiar people, and | wished
that | was back in "Arkansaw." :"
| wish to give my endorsement
to the separate coach. 1t had been
so long since | rode in the same
coach with negroes that | did
not know how to appreciate the
luxury Of railroad travel in car
kansaw'"
Anderson is a hustling, bust
ling, little city, and l shall always
remember my visit to this place
with pleasure. They are full of
vim and enterprise. and it seemed
to me it would be a good place
for one to live. They have water
works and electric lights and are
preparing to to build a new
court house. 1t is large cotton
market, and fine, prosperous,
business is theirs.
Greenwood reminded me very
much of our new towns in the
west. 1t is a considerable rail
road center and everything pos
sesses a new and prosperous air.
| was very much pleased with
Riley's hotel at this place. 1t is
by far the best eating house in
that part Of the state. They were
finishing their second cotton
mill and were jubilant over hav-
ing obtained new county, of
which Greenwood will be the
county site. While at Greenwood
| made trip to Ninety Six, and
went out to the Old fort, Of which
so many boys and girls have read
in their histories. Notwithstand-
ing a century has passed since the
memorable battle between the
Red Coats and our people, the
old fort, with It's original eight
points. is still visible. | ventured
down into the excavation which
our people made in their attempt
TO build subterranean passage
to the center Of the fort for the
purpose Of blowing it up. 1t is

Pleasures and Business.
Laurens is an old town built
around square with the court
house in the center, as are many
of the ante-bellum towns. It is
something of railroad center,
too, and like all up-to-date towns
in that state, has It's cotton mill.
From Laurens | went to Colum-
bia, making short stop al Chm
ton, one of the oldest Presbyte-
rian communitiet in the state.

know how else TO express it.
With her wide streets and ma
iestic sold with the centuries,

numerous lovely homes makes 1T
sight beautiful to behold. | was
busy while there and had time to
visit only one place-the asylum.
1t was the first time ] had ever
been in an asylum, and as a mat
ter of fact ] found much to inter
est me. Looking upon the in
mates, unfortunate in their atilic-
ton, | gathered some impressions
which | will carry with me
through life. | found the attend
ants very courteous, and every
thing kept in systematic order.
For cleanliness | have never seen
anything which surpassed this
asylum. South Carolina is giving
the mentally intirm of her state
charitable attention. | noticed
one thing in Columbia which |
have never seen elsewhere, and
that is the extreme favors shown
bicyclists. They are permitted to
use the sidewalks up to within
one block of the principal busi-
ness street. / doubt if such a
thing is done at any other place
in the south. But then South
Carolina is evidently on wheels,
and especially Columbia. | have
never seen the like of wheels as
there are in South Carolina.
Everybody rides, from the tiny
six-year-old to the old gent and
the madam whose locks have
known a silvery hue for years
past. If a fellow Is ever to lose
his prejudice against women
riding wheels, he ought to do so
in South Carolina, but | was in
the state nearly two months and
came away of the same opinion
stlll-that bicycling is strictly a
masculine sport.
My next stop was at Marion,
but you have already heard of
this little city over in the eastern
part of the state. | like the
country around Marion. 1t is a
very fertile region, and the in
dications are that the people are

is more than | can say Of some of

THE SCHOOL BOOK LAW.

There has been some difference of
opinion expressed by various parties
since the new school book law has
been passed, as to whether contracts
entered into between school boards and
book companies heretofore could be en-.
forced or not, and last week County
Supt. Shell made inquiry direct to the
state superintendent regarding the
matter. The answer received from the
Superintendent's office Is as follows.
All who are interested in this matter
should make note of this opinion:
Contracts entered into between
school district boards and book COM
panies for the purpose of procuring
school books may be enforced where
such contract is made in writing, where
both parties desire TO enforce it. Such
contract may be avoided by either par
ty when desired.
ut is impossible for me to state
whether book company would begin
action to try to enforce q contract as
the attorney general holds that all such
contracts are without warrant of law
and, consequently are not binding upon
the district"
