Anumber of bills have been intro-
duced and but email portion Of
themfof very much Importance to
our people and certainly not to the
Oconee people.
The elections are all over now and
Ihope some good, earnest work will
bo gotten in from now to the end of
the session.
There are some things that ought
to besdone that will be hard to get
through; /; therefore we will have to
watch very close and keep things
from being done that we do not
want done.
think from the work done this
morning that the axe is laid at the
root Of many Of the measures offered
ready to cut them down and cast
them into outer darkness whore many
of them ought to be.T~

in the child labor bill before the
House. / look for a big fight over
that matter when it comes up. l
shall oppose the bill. I will not vote
for any measure that tends to ham,
per and hedge the people in. We
might just as we'll say to the people
you shall not work your children on
the farm under twelve years of age
as to say to them you shall not put
them in the mills.
The dog tax bill failed in the
House this morning. I am not GER
tain that the law if passed would
have stood the courts holding dogs
to be personal property, it would be
held unconstitutional. Since the
Supreme Court rendered its decision
in the case of Dean against Spartan
burg county we have to keep look
out or we will run our heads against
the wall. Special legislation is a
thing of the past, and / think per-
haps it will be better for us all.
The bill to make compensation to
victims of theft was lost in the
House yesterday after considerable
discussion.
There are several bills in the hands
of the Committee on Highways and
Roads. This committee consists of
one member from each delegation.
We hope to be able to get something
for Oconee when the bill comes be-
fore the House. Mr.. Herndon wants
to make the communication tax three
dollars or six days work. I have some
doubts as to that. / hold that two
dollars or four days labor properly
managed will be sufficient.
Some one of us will try to give. you
what is going on as we make progress.
The Oconee delegation are all we'll
and at their post all the time.
1t is raining here this morning.
The weather has been fine most of the
time since we have been here.
Trusting things are going right in

Salt the New Elixir OF Life.

AS result of a protracted series
of experiments with salt solutions,
the efficacy of which in prolonging
life was recently announced by
Prof. Loeb, of the University of
Chicago, two prominent physicians
here claim to have demonstrated
that in cases of great loss Of blood
by disease or injury, normal salt
solution, ID as a restorative, will
save life even when 80 per cent of
the blood has been lost. The expert
ments, which have extended over a
period of six months, have, accord
ing to the physicians, made practica-
bic new system of bleeding and
substitution of salt solutions for per-
sons suffering from pneumonia,
typhoid malarial fevers, peritonitis,
acute and chronic Bright's disease,
and all heart affections resulting
from the last named complaint.
Much success has been had with all
their experiments, particularly those
made with pneumonia and Bright's
isease.--Chicago Dispatch.
In his annual message to the Leg
islature, Governor Sayers, of Texas,
recommends the passage of an act to
protect newl papers against civil libel
for printing the truth without NAL
ace. Newspapers, no doubt, have
many sins to account for, and for
which they should be held RESPONSE
BILE; but they are often prevented
from publishing truths that would
be of great benefit to the public
generally, because the people who
would be hurt by these truths are
able to secure damages in the courts.
Many people have an idea that a
newspaper has right to print any.
thing it pleases, provided the publi-
cation be true; but in this many
people are mistaken. The old adage,

The Modern Patriot

The more liquor one drinks the
more money he contributes to the
support of the State government.
To contribute to the support Of
the government is one Of the highest
duties Of citizenship~and is an evi-
dence of patriotism.
Patriotism is the highest glory Of
an American citizen.
All this being true, it is only in
South Carolina that one can truly be (

Tax Returns.

The suggestion of the Comptroller
General in his report that real estate
should be assessed for taxation annually
instead of quadrennially seems to us
worthy of acceptance by the Legislature.
AS the case stands now under the quad
rennial system, building improvements
made Immediately after the assessment
may pass without attention or taxation
for four years at least. Columbia State.
Under the present arrangement of quad
rennial assessment of lands, it is ones
duty to make return of any changes In
real estate. It is probable that this is
always done In cases of transfers of real
estate, the purchaser being required to
pay taxes after his purchase. This is
matter that will regulate itself.
But in the case Of improvements,
whore new real.e is brought into
existence, it can only get upon the Audi
tors books by the owners returning It.
1t is clearly his duty to do SO; and we
believe If it were ascertained that one
had failed to make the proper return in
such case and had in that way escaped
Taxes CnaC he ought to have paid, he
could be made to pay the back taxes and
the penalty also.
1T might be better to require annual
returns of real estate as we'll as of per.
sonal property. It ought certainly to be
thoroughly understood and impressed
upon the public mind that any improve.
ments to real estate should be promptly
returned.
What is needed most, though, is not
yearly return so much as some method
of getting at fair and full return of OF
only real estate but of all kinds of
property. The law as it stands is not
very strict, but as administered is ono of
the loosest things imaginable. Tho
common practice we believe is for the
auditor to sign up a big batch of blank
returns, using a logotype generally, and
then handing these to persons who wish
to make returns. The idea that returns
are made under oath is somewhat of
fiction. -Greenville News.

Considering the fact that the
average man only has use for five or
six hundred words, there seems to
be already an over-supply. But
there is great activity in the diction-

Quite a Raise.

An old man of Statesboro, Ala,
by the name of Wright, who was
sent to the poor house of that county
last July because he was sick and
had no money and no relatives to
care for him, had stroke of good
luck recently. He had been a SOL
dier in the Union army, and had a
claim for pension that had been
hanging fire for several years. He
had about abandoned all hope of
ever getting anything when he re-
ceived notification that his pension
had been allowed with $4,000 back
pay and $72 per month for the re-
mainder of his life. He immedi-
ately walked out Of the poor house
to comfortable home.

CULTIVATION OF MANURE.

Wen Located ~Barnyard.
1T requires considerable labor and
prompt attentionsto make manures and
retain the elements OF natural fertility
within the accumulation of stable and
Sbarnyard, especially il exposed to the;
air andSrain. No one denies that o ma.
nure shed Or covered barnyard isSthesl
safest way to prevent loss from*leach-
ing, but very few farmers own or are
able to construct covered yards. Tor
nearly 20 years we have not sold any
straw from the farm nor have we sold
any hay for ten years. The hay isHfedl
and some straw, but avery large pro-
portion Of the latter finds its way into.
manure under the feet of our stock as
bedding and absorbent to save largely
the liquid portion Of animal e1crement.
Sometimes at; first it seems next To
impossible to work the large quantity
of straw tthrashed each fan Into ma
nure fit for farm use, but each year
before nextsthrashing time we have to
husband our stock OF straw for bed
ding or let our cows, horses, calves,
sheep and pigs sleep5in filthy quarters,
much to U annoyance and loss fnan-
cially. &Ss I .&%5 i &s$4 & q &S@3S&N
Our stock Of manures Is made out OF
doors or, rather, finished there after
being hauled from the stables. Cow.
and horse manures are mixed and
| spread out in large pile and every
few days the fiat rick or pile Is bedded
by distributing a layer Of straw over It
and usually the young stock has some
hay placed there SO as to induce them
to tramp the manure and straw To-
gether. By hauling the manures 5dI-
rectly from stall to field W could not
utilize much@over one-half the bulk Of
straw on hand; hence we feel that we
do not lose much from accumulation OF
manure for at least a few weeks, III

allow manures taken from the stables
thrown out ii conical piles to ferment

slow combustion, and also TO leach and

hired men are employed 1t 5is very diff
cult to get them to comprehend the adj

ton of the weddings of animals and

to do 1t properly. Where straw is not

Mr.. Keller thinks the Tribune was
hardly fair to those opposing Lewis
senate bill to reduce the exemptions
from 81, 800 to $500 stating that it is only
the man who does not want to pay his
debts who is kicking against the meas
sure. Perhaps this was a trife strong in.
expression and the Tribune FASTENED to
assure Mr. Keller that the remark was
not aimed at those gentlemen who hon
estly differ from it. Mr.. Keller favors@ a
compromise measure and a gradual re-
duction of the exemption but he is
reminded that every time this matter
has come up in the Legislature the move
lment for a repuction ever so, small has
been handicapped by the men who
sought to compromise, and thus make
medicine with their farmer constituents.
Mr., Keller favors a reduction to $l,OOO
as he thinks the time has come when the
excessive exemption is a bar to the indi-
vidual credit of the people, butt seems ZEN
to us that if such is the case, a $500 exs,
emption, vwhichlis $500 larger than that
of most of the states, would, benefit
personal credit Just twice as much as
the larger sum. a reduction of exemp-
tionssto $500 would largely do away with

is everything to be gained by reducing
