Letter from Senator Herndon.

Columbia, S. O., February 10, 1908.
-Messrs. Editors Keowee Courier
During the past week the General
Assembly got down to work in real
earnest and number of important
measures were debated and were
killed or passed third readings.
In the Senate, a measure which re-
ceived considerable discussion was
the Gaines bill prohibiting the traffic
in seed or unpacked lint cotton. If
this bill becomes law it will be un-
lawful, under a heavy penalty, to
traffic in seed or unpacked lint cotton
between August and December
1st.
Another bill which received con-
siderable discussion was what ia
known as the railroad relief depart
ment bill. The bill only affects the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com
pany and its employees now, but
might have become a general evi, in
the State.
Another bill, of general interest
throughout the State, is the Good
win Oil Inspection bill. This bill is
Intended to prevent the dumping of
inferior oil, which has been inspected
and refused in other States, on the
people of this State.
The Marshall child labor bill passed
the House last week and will become
law. Under its provisions no child
under ten years of age is allowed to
work in cotton mill during the year
1908; no child under eleven during
the year 1904, and after 1905 no
child under twelve will be allowed to
work in cotton mill.
There has been discussed in the
House last week several bills in rela-
tion to the dispensary and there are
now on the calender of the Senate
several bills on the same subject
which will be discussed this week.
One to change the number Of direc-
tors of the State Board from three
to seven; another to require all
liquors that are purchased to be pur-
chased under competitive bids. Lii
quors purchased from distillers in
the State are not now 80 purchased.
1t is impossible yet to tell Just
what shape the road law will take,
but it will be carefully considered,
and it is likely that a much more
satisfactory law than the one now on
the statute books will become law.
Both houses are holding day and
night sessions and the members who
are on committees are working very
hard, the committees being required
to hold meetings only while the
house of which they are members
are not in session.
The Governor is in his Office every
day, and is devoting his time to tn !
study of the affairs of State. He
will give reception at the Cover.
nor's mansion Thursday evening.
Miss Deane Seaborn has become
one of the Oconee delegation, hold
ing a position in the engrossing de.
partment.
Among the recent visitors from
Oconee county to the State House
were Messrs. Q. r.. ID. Burns, j. r.
Kay and James Thompson.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure is not quack medicine 1t was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years, and is regu-
lar prescription. II is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on

Another Shocking Assassination.

Walterboro, S. O., February IL
This morning about IL o'clock, near
Cottageville, Allen Adams laid wait
for Henry Jaques, and, with a shot
gun, sent load of buckshot through
his neck, instantly killing him. ia
ques was on his horse and never
knew what struck him. Adams and
Jaques had a difficulty Christmas.
Mr.. Jaques was quiet, peaceable
man, while the reputation of Adams
in his community for peace and order
is not good. The killing is greatly
deplored. Jaques leaves wife with
eight children, several of them small.
The sympathy of the people is with
Jaques. Adams came up tonight
and surrendered to Sheriff Owens.

"Chief Justice Fuller has reached
the age of70, and thereby becomes
eligible for retirement at full pay.
There have been rumors during the
last year that the Chief Justice would
quit the bench, but as he is still full
of mental and bodily vigor, despite
his three score and ten years, it is
not regarded as likely that he will
retire for some time"

IT seems strange that in these days
of the worlds boasted civilization the
great powers Of Europe will allow a
matter OF self.tnterest to. keep. them
from preventing wholesale mur-
ders by the cruel Turks. One can't
pick up newspaper now adays with
out seeing the same old story Of the
slaug Of defenseless men, women
and children, 1t Is bad enough, in all
conscience, that every few years there
should be great sacrifice OF life while
two nations are settling their real or
imaginary grievances through the
medium Of war. But it is horrible to
consider that month after month and
year after year, In the absence Of in
ternattOnal warfare, there should
come the same tales of murder. But
it seems there is no possibility Of
arOusing the nations Of Europe
against the Turk. Even the ringing
words of Gladstone could not do it
when the Armenians were being
slaughtered by tens Of thousands. 1t
would appear that a way might be
found by which that peculiar institu-
tion, 'sthe balance of power" could
be maintained after the Turkish
government had been wiped from the
face Of the earth.

Clouds without Dust.

For 20 years the assertion Of DR..
Aitken, based on a series of beautiful
experiments, that clouds cannot form
in the air without dust particles to
serve as nuclei for condensation, has
been accepted, but now DR.. Aitken him
self has made a little sensation by dis
proving his own previous statement.
de has found that certain gases, such
rs hydrogen peroxide, sulphureted hy-
drogen and chlorine, when present in
the atmosphere, are converted by the
action of sunlight into nuclei, upon
which cloudy condensation can take
place. Accordingly, although dust is
ordinarily necessary for cloud forma-
taon, yet clouds may form in dustless
air miles above the earth. 1t should
be added that when his original conclu-
sion was published DR.. Aitken admit

Many of the latest blouses seem 70

disguise any waistline.
Exquisite gowns are made of white
panne with demonstrations of black

Very smart women are wearing
wide ribbon bows beneath the chin
and some of velvet is always pretty,
mixed with lace and tulle.
Black lace gowns, profusely trim
med with lace medallions and Jet, over
white foundation, are one of the
smartest evening gowns of the win

The use of white satin, fur, gold
braid, laces and Russian guipure
medallions is again the feature of
cloth and velvet gowns and handsome
coats of various kinds for afternoon
calls, receptions and matinees.
The best wells are of fine mesh. with
chenille spots of various sizes thereon.
The disfiguring spots of abnormal size
