Hampton's Death Is Appro-
priately Observed BY
The Legislature.
Special to Greenville News.

Columbia, ). e., Jan. %
The anniversary of the death of
General Wade Hampton was ap.
propriately observed by the leg
islatare today. Gen Butler wes
the orator of the day.
The life ard,character of Hamp>
ton was an inspiration in itself
and right eloquently did General
Butler rise to the occasion.
Senator Aldrich presented the
resolutions of respect to the
memory of the general, which
resolutions had been written 10y
General Leroy f. Youmans. 10
supporting them Senator Aldrich
made a very eloquent speech, re-
viewing briefly the life of the de-
ceased and drawing lessons from
it. Representative Mauldin, of
Greenvi. lie seconded the resoIu-
tions with appropriate remarks
and Senator Sheppard eloquently
introduced the orator General
Butler.
On the seats in the front part
of the speakers roStrum was the
orator, Gov. Hayward and Chef
Justice Pope. Ex-Governor
McSweeney, associate justice of
the supreme court and the COM

Senator Marshall the other day
introduced bill the title of which
did not indicate its Importance.
1t is intended to make provision
whereby factory villages may be
incorporated into towns. AT pre-
sent this cannot be done under
our incorporation laws, because it
requires the signatures of free
holders to petition for an election
for the formation of such munich.
.pallties, and theSoperatives are
not freeholders: Pelzer, for in
stance, Is town of about 5000
inhabitants and is absolutely with
out town government. 1t seems
to be getting along very we'll
without it, too.
Under the provisions of the bill
the Manchester Mill village would
be entitled TO be Incorporated.
An objection to such a measure is
that it would open the way for
dispensarles in the mill villages.
II even as many as a half dozen of
the residents should be freeholders
and a majority should petition for
the holding of an election on the
question. Rock Hill Herald.

For a Practical Road Law.

Tho following petition fro the
Chester Supervisors office has
been received by that county's
legislative delegation:
Gentlemen: Office desires
a change in the road law and ear
nestly requests that you gentle,
men take the matter up, give it
careful consideration, and use
your influence to have such q law
passed as will accomplish the de-
sired end.
The present road law requires
all able bodied male citizens be-
tween the ages of eighteen and
fifty to perform eight days work
upon the roads, or to pay in lieu
thereof commutation tax of
S1.00. 1t is well known fact
that few of our citizen. pay the
S1.OO- A few do a few days
work, and the majority neither
wo:k nor pay. 1t Is true that
the law provides punishment for
failure to perform road duty, but
am informed that my predeces-
sor had persons who had failed to
perform road duty prosecuted,
but failed to convict, on account
of the general public feeling of
Indifference in reference to this
law. We would like to see the
law SO changed that all persons
liable to road duty would be re-
quired to pay commutation tax of
at least $500, and the county
b arc, required to divide the high.
ways of the county into sections
and out of the fund arising from
the communications tax, employ a
competent overseer and squad
OF hands for each section, and
keep the roads in proper shape.
A prOviso might be inserted in
the law SO that any person who is
not able to pay this commutation
tax could work certain number
of days Il would suggest slx-on
the same high way under the su-
pervision and control of the regu.
lar hired oversser, and the over
seer could give him receipt for
the work performed which receipt
should be accepted by the treas
urer In settlement of communication
tax.
We think that if this was the
law, very few, if any, would be
able to dodge the road duty, for
IL they did not have the over
seer's receipt for the required
number of days. they would have
to pay the commutation tax to the
treasurer. Aud under this sys>
tenn we are sure the roads of the
county would be kept in fair
condition without the chain gang
which could be put to doing per-
manent work.
The present law is as much of
a failure as it could well be, and
if it is impossible for you gentle.
men TO secure the passage Of such
q law ss>is outlined above, we re
spectfulIy ask that you leave no
stone unturned to at least increase
the Communication tax from S1.0O
to $500

A Bi-Colered Reception.
Mr.. Roosevelt Invites Negroes =
White Hous Q Precedents
Broken "A Sensation in
Washington.
Special to The Observer.

Washington, Jan. %. Many
strange>thiugs are daily coming
to the surface under the present
administration, consequently it is
only the extraordinary that ex-
cites wonder. This happened
last night when President Roose-
welt shattered all precedent and
gave II bi-colored reception at the
White House. None of the local
and but few papers at a distance,
such as are represented by men
on all night duty, were made
aware OF the facts last night, with
the result thut they did not clrcul-
ate the story. When the story
did become known to day, how
ever, it was on eyerybody's ton
que. The occasion was the Judi
cial reception, one of the four
big annual social functions that is
given at the White House during
the session, and among the 1,5OO
invited guests were half dozen
or more negroes, two or three of
the number being women. Scol es
of Southerners were there and
many of these took umbrage when
they realized the social equality
feature of the affair, and left.
One Southern Congressman was
accompanied by bridal couple
whom he expected to insroduce
to the chief executive, but when
the party saw the. colorsd people
they left Immediately without
shaking hands with the President.
Representative Small said he saw
Il number of people hasten from
the building and admitted that he
did not himself tarry very long.
One of the colored men who were
present according 10 several who
attended the reception, was John
@. Dancy, the colored recorder
of deeds of the District of Colum-
bia. Another was Judson Ly-
ons, register OF tho Treasury.
Some contend that it wis in keep
ing with the eternal fitness Of
things for Recorder Dancy and
Register Lyons to attend, in view
of their connection with the gov.
ernment service, whilo others 90
even furlLcran say the President
was justified in inviting whom he
desired, whether black or white,
mon or w0m IN, as tho function
was in one sense official rather
than social, but Southerners con
tend that none Of these cUnsidera-
tions can be held to excuse the
occupant Of the White House,
who, they declare with bitter en-
phasis, sought to force men and
women of the South on terms of
social equality with negroes of
both sexes at a time when they
had no reason to expect such an
experience. This is true, they
say, because the negroes shook
hands with the President who in
turn introduced them to Mrs
Roosevelt and the ladies of the
cabinet and then all we're forced
to mingle together in the recep
tion room.

shoulder, squared himself and
blazed away. His aim proved good,
