P'thoihR 10 WOulu Oe source or con-
stant annoyance There WAS no
good in delay, as the members had
all pretty we'll decided who they
would vote for and no good could
como from having the elections all
held at tho same time.
Mr. Sanders, of Spertanburg,
wanted the Judges elections held on
next Tuesday. He thought to hold
the elections ON Friday would be an
unnecessary hurry and that the MON
bers ought to have ample time in
which to study the records of the
men they are asked to vote for aud
10 SOC the men themselves, as MIR.
Prince had suggested. No good, that
he could see, would come from such
haste.
Mr.. Dominick wanted to postpone
the matter until tomorrow 30 that
dates could be fixed for all of the
elections ut that time.
Both motions we're lost, and the
House voted to have the election of
Judges Oh Friday Of this week, and
that will be the time if the Senate
agrees to the House resolution.

of the Governor message as refers
to the lost State bonds, the property
of the State Bank, was referred to

with the pending bill upon the same
subject.
The House then took up the Cal.
endar work left over from last ses e.

relative to the holding of farmers
Institutes on the ground that Glenn
sou College had already arranged for
suoh Institutes.
Mr.. Webb, of Aiken, moved that
the child labor bill from tho Aiken

commerce. He stated that the rea
8. for doing this was because the
committee already had Senate bill
on the same subject, aud that the
purpose was to consider the Senate
bill, now before the committee, at
the same time "a the House bill.
The House adjourned at 2:15 to-

IN THE SENATE.
January 14.-The Senate met this
morning at IL O'clock Long before
the hour of meeting Senator'S, men,
bers, friends and acquaintances ex-
changed greetings and the chamber
looked quite like reception room
fora short while. At noon the Lieu
tenant Governor entered escorted by
the sergeant at-arms. The Rev. D.
Il mmerman, of the Main street Meth
odist church, the chaplain offered an
appropriate prayer, after which Lieu
tenant Governor Tillman formally
called the body to order. The pre-
siding officer then delivered the fol-
lowing address,:
Senator'S: In obedience to the
laws of this Commonwealth you are
again summoned to your post of
duty. Fresh from the happy hours
If the Ynle,lde your thoughts now
turn to more serious things. That
justice aud wisdom will characterize
your deliberations 'twere needless to
prophecy. But rememcer, man, that
strange connecting link between dust
and Deity, is prone to critioise, some
times to slander. disappointment
awaits him whose endeavor would be
to please whole people; though
when fortified in the fortress of duty
we'll done he may bid defiance to
those who envy.
In the past twelve months parti-
sans threw aside their partisanship,
parties were for a time forgot while
nation knelt beside the bier of a
martyred President; but through
Almighty benevolenoe the grim
Reaper has not entered here and We
are once more permitted to welcome
