KINDLY TREATMENT
And How It Is Accorded the Public by the
Newspapers.

ger" remarks the sage of the Albany
(Mo.) Ledger, "that 'Mr. So-and.So
accepted position than TO say he
nearly ran his legs off and told forty
lies to get it."
In this reflection is truth OF kind
SO homely that it cannot fail to ap-
prove itself to the average man. When
we come TO think OF it, this trick OF
tactful expression is great thing in
the world. 1t is more largely instru-
mental in the making of regulations
than any other one influence, perhaps;
especially in the case OF those who are
not really forceful persons, but who
have the knack Of keeping themselves
in the public eye by conventional
methods.
In no department of the worlds
work does this truth more wildly i'm
press itself upon the observent mind
than in that OF the daily newspaper,
which is commonly believed to be
cynical sort OF institution, wearied of
life's humbugs and disposed to disil-
lusioument. Yet it is the forbearing
courtesy of the daily newspaper which
is peculiarly and logically responsible
for making the reputation OF thou.
sands who would otherwise have lived
unknown and, justly or unjustly, OBJ
scure.
This further truth is due to the fact
of the frequency with which persona
mention of the most casual description
is necessary and to the solicitude with
which newspaper places every indi.
vidual in the best possible light before
its readers. In this polite treatment
OF the average citizen by the average
newspaper lies the secret OF the vast
majority Of established regulations in
every community.
These thoughts are respectfully sub
mitted to the attention Of that illogi-
cal class so prone to the fallacy of
abusing the press for alleged cynicism
and indifference to worthy achieve.
ment. A newspaper is not only invar-
iably glad to acclaim such achieve.
ment, but errs, if anything, on the side
of kindly mention of the most ordi-
nary effort. The plain truth is that
the press is good-natured and charita.

AwoMDEnFuL INVENTION.

A little group Of men clustered

The marvellous electrical development
Of the last decade had been duly com.

made about the self-bindeT, sewing

man spoke up and said:
Gentlemen, all you have men.
toned are great inventions, but there
10 one that has not been mentioned
and upon it depends in large measure
the success of all that you have spoken
about. I refer to the little rim oil
metal protecting downward from

know that it is really one OF the

Upon that li%tle hange depends the

But in the South the unknown young

"I remember that there were four

And the Colonel of the Regiment was
known as Colonel Bud Roberts.
"Did you ever know that the best

seldom called their husbands pet

reckon you know that a Southern
man always hated anything that
smacked Of effeminacy. He thought
any pet name, such as dearie, petty, or
any of the goo-goo appellstions, made
a man appear small and weak.
"The Southern woman knew this
and che always addressed her husband
as Mr., even to his face. If she had
children she called him pa and he
called her ma. If he had a title the
wife honored it in referring to him. 1t

NIGHT SESSION.

When the house met at night, Mr..
NJ. L. Smith moved that the joint
committee of judiciary and Of moor
poratlon be discharged from further
consideration of the bill relating to
interpretations, particularly in regard
to trusts. He explained that these
are such large committees that there
is great difficulty in getting them
together, and he could not get re-
port on his bill. He disavowed in
tending any discourtesY, but he
wants his bill on the calendar at once.
1t was so ordered by the house.
Mr. E6rd wanted to get up his
companion resolution to the biennial
sessions bill. This resolution was
up several days ago and failed to
pass by 4 votes, there being 70 vot-
ing in favor OF it, whereas 80 were
required. There we're II votes
against it on that occasion. Mr.,
Efrd according to notice given Mon
day, moved to suspend rule 43.
There was some parliamentary
spsrring, but the house by q vote OF
50 to "a refused to suspend the rule.
This looks unfavorable for the pas
sage of the biennial sessions resolu
ton.
Other bills discussed during the
night session were Of little Interest
to the general public.

Tuesday's Session.
IN THE SENATE.

February 11.-There was a long
and at times exciting debate in the
senate today over the redistricting
bilE The measure, as it passed the
house, finally passed it's second read
ing in the senate, with the single
amendment that Clarendon is taken
from the seventh district and placed
in the first district. 1t is thought
that this amendment will be agreed
to by the house and that the bill will
be ratified in this shape.
Senator Gruber yesterday offered
an amendment which would have
y. aterially changed the first, second
and seventh districts, but after a
long debate the amendment was lost.
When Senator Mayfeld undertook
to have Edgefeld and Saluda placed

Edgefeld and Saluda remain side by
side in the second district.

Senatnr Raysor: To amend Part
2, Title 2, of Code, entitled parties
to criminal action.
Senator Barnwell: To declare the
law as to references contained in codi-
fed acts of the Code of 1892.
The consideration of second read
ing bills was resumed and the follow
ing passed:
Senator Brice's bill to repeal the
| section empowering the extension of
taxes came up and Senator Mower
moved to indefinitely postpone the
bill.
Mr. Brice said the annual exten-
sion resulted in many counties hav-
ing to borrow money for necessary
expenses and pay high rates of in
terest. The act is not in the interest
of the poor man, for about the only
time he has money is in the fall. He
spends that and has to pay an enor,
nous rate to get money to pay taxes
when they finally have to do so.
The bill was rejected by a vote Of
20 to8.
Mr.. Stackhouse's bill to authorize
the county board of commissioners to
hire the chaingang to any reliable
person or corporation within the
county came up and Senator Brice
moved to strike out the enacting
words.
Mr.. stackhouse defended the bill
and expressed the opinion that the
measure would prove beneficial. 1t
would not be liable to abuses, as
sometimes occurs in larger instances
of similar nature.
Senator Livingston pointed out
that the bill was entirely optional.
Senator Glenn said this was dan
gerous bill, in that convicts may be
hired to men who would not treat
them humanely. He thought con-
victs, ought to be kept and worked
upon public roads. 1t was danger
Gus power to give to any man.
Senator Sullivan believed the senti
ment of the State is strongly against
the hiring of convicts to private
parties. The bill was rejected.
The bill to amend the income tax
act, authorizing the county auditor
to place on his books list of the
persons in the county subject to the
income tax, was passed to a third
reading.
There was considerable debate over
the bill to require municipalities to
provide drains for surface water.
The bill had friends, but the debate
was adjourned in order to allow it to
BE- perfected.
Mr.. Grsydon's bill, prescribing the
number of brakemen on trains of a
certain class, was read the second
time.
The senate adopted the bill to pro-
hibit wearing the Southern Cross
except by those entitled to it.
The bill defining the term Of rob
berry was ordered to q third reading.
The following measures also passed
to third reading.
To require public ginners to keep
their books open for '0e0ac:ion.
Exempting e1 COME crate sol 'iers
from peddlers' licenses IN towns.
To allow all farm products to be
marketed in any town in this State
without a license.
Relating to the seizure aud sale of

Josh ASHLEY'S GENIUS.
he "Hit" 7he Charleston Show Last Week
In All His Rustlcity.
Charleston Post, 9Th. ]

There is q warm child Of nature in
Charleston today. Citizen Josh, sur
named Ashley, has come to town. Ii
there be any among US so benighted
ss to know not the identity of Josh
Ashley, it is proper to inform him
that Josh is a member of the legisla
ture from Anderson county, sue
cessful farmer and the dispenser of a
line of diction which makes up in
pith what 1t lacks in polish.
Josh Ashley is unique character.
The flavor of the soil permeates his
rhetoric; the twang of the wood lands
pervades his parts of speech and
throttles English grammar. He is not
handsome man; nor is he ugly
enough to hurt. He wears forld
face and a wool hat. His hair and
mustache are red. His mouth is too
numerous to mention. He has a
MAGNIFICENT set of teeth which have
contributed no little to his fame.
He is a trlhe below the average
height, but above it in weight. His
neck is muscular snd thick, lDdicat-
ing strength and life everlasting.
His hands are large, hairy and
freckled, and he has grip that
would make most men curl up like a
watch spring. Josh is now about
45 years old, but he is as virile as
young Hercules. He was found in
the wilderness near Hoaea Path, An
derson county, in 1890, by B. R.
Tillman and he speedily developed
an amazing thirst for politics.
In those days came Benjamin
Ryan Tillman, plain farmer from
Edgefeld, preaching the gospel OF
retrenchment and reform. A hot
political revival followed. Josh
Ashley was one of the first and most
enthusiastic converts. He thought
Ben Tillman was the personifcstlon
of probity and leader from Lead
errsville. Tillman couldn't make
speech within fifteen miles of Honea
Path without Josh Ashley graclDg
the occasion with his presence. And
when Benjamin began to fry the con
servatives in language chaste and
seemly, Citizen Josh could be heard
| shouting above the tumult: Hit
'em agin, Guvner; dats de Gods
truf."
And yet, Josh owes his fist term
in the legislature to the vote of the
conservatives in Anderson county
1t was done for joke. Tillman had
! the majority of the sons Of toll by
the scruf of the neck. The chance:
for a conservative candidate were not
visible to the unclothed eye, as the
modest splnster expressed it. Il
WAS then that Josh Ashley flowed
he'd run for the Legislature. A
that time Josh could neither read MOI
write. For that reason the Till
NANTES did not receive the announce
ment of his candidacy with enthu
siasm. One of them tWitted him il
this wise:
"You 90 to the Legislature, Josh,
he exclaimed with laugh: "Wh,
you can't write your name"
~ knowed that without you tell
ing me-" retorted Josh. "And yo'

IN THE HOUSE.

IN THE HOUSE.
February 11.-For several days
past Mr.. W. J. johnson has been
trying to get up for discussion and
final action his bill to prohibit the
formation of trusts and monopolies.
This bill is a copy of the Hogg law
of Texas and is not in conflict with
any of the othsr incorporation meas
ures introduced at this session. Mr..
johnson succeeded in getting the
bill before the house yesterday. But
there was a great deal of filib1ster-
lngs AID no action was taken on the
bill. There were several test votes,
but none of them indicate the numeri-
cal strength of the supporters of the
bill. By vote of "a to 81 the house
refused to strike out the enacting
words. But this was not the proper
strength of either side, as some 7ot-
ing with the supporters Of the bill
declared that they did not favor the
bill as it stood and wanted to offer
amendments.
