Sing Ander;on's Praise.

The members of the Sumter Guards,
the Washington Light Infantry, the
Irish Volunteers, the German Fusilicrs
a0d the Palmetto Guard, tho compa-
MES Of Charlcston's militia that were
at the encampment ut Anderson, have
been making some remarkable state
ments abOu. the "grcat time" they had
there. They can hardly find words
with which to express their sentiments
with regard to Anderson people. The
officers arc also cXtrayagant in their
praise OF the thriving up-cOuntry city.
Capt. II. G.. Wohlers, in speaking Of
Aee encampmcnt, said yesterday: "The
Camp was ideally located. Tho tents
were we'll shaded by giant oaks and
the parade ground was smooth and
even. The behavior of the troops was
almost perfect. They obeyed orders
without the least demur and entered
into the drill practice with commercial
BILE enthusiasm.
"The people of Anderson exerted
to render us comfortable. Some Of
the boys were nlittle sore OF tho treat
ment they received ut the hands of a
few of the fair maids. | suppose the
boys attempted to be social and friend
ly, and the girls thought they were
mashers, and snubbed them; after they
became acquainted, though, the troops
and the girls Of tho city were on the
best 0fterms. think the encampment
was q great success"
Capt: Robson, Of the Washington
Light Infantry, said: ''It is difficult
to give any expression of my opinion
of the encampment without becoming
fulsOme and florid. Our stay was most
pleasant and profitable. The citizens
of Anderson tried themselves and en-
tertained us to the queens taste. The
regulars who we're with us greatly as
sisted in the training of the troops.
Capt. FOsrer would take notes while
the troops were drilling and point out
any weak spots that would show up
The camp was we'll situated, andevery-
thing moved OFT smOOthly.-Ncws and

In speaking of the return Of the
Charleston companies, the Evening
Post cf Monday says:

ut tho Irish Volunteers Hall, refresh.
ments had been prepared, and the sol.
dlers had good time around the ta
bles. The men who did not go on the
encampment we're anxious to hear the
experiences Of the men who did, and
ing the story. There was much to tell
The boys had novel experience. /,
was the first time that they had been
on regimental encampment, they had
learned good deal OF the practical
side OF the soldiers life and they had
found Anderson and her people pleas
ant and attractive. The soldiers had
cut up pranks, as they all will do, and
of course, they had to tell about these
things. as we'll as the dances, card par.
ties. affairs of the heart and other hap
nous in declaring that they had mos,
delightful time. The people were al
hospitable and pleasant, and it was tc
their efforts to make the stay of the
troops enjoyable that the militiamer
had such fine time"

The recent elections in Texas put
two-thirds of the counties of that
State under prohibition, and the pros
poets are that liquor selling will soon
be prohibited throughout the State,
except, perhaps in one or two large
cities. Under local option regulations
prohibition seems to be sweeping the
South. Whenever the question is
voted on the result is almost invari-
ably in favor Of prohibition.

nearly million aliens having come to

the lowest GLASS Of labor from the most

competition but the American labor

cheap labor.

Over in Georgia the Legislature is
investigating lobbyism, but it is be-
lieved it will not amount to much.
Lobbyism is crime, it is true, but as
long as there arc politics and politi-
clans there will be- lobbyism. They
go hand in hand together and have
existed since the days Of ancient
Rome. Reforms in this line hove
been tried time aud time again, but
what little benefits have teen accrued
were only temporary.

PICKING FLAW IN GOOD ROAD BILL.

1t had 'snake" amendment attached

branches of the General Assembly.
was produced, and the bill seemed to
be legal. But the fact that the bill
did not receive a three-fourths vote in
the House of Representatives which
would have been required if the
"snake" amendment had been genuine
was not mentioned. Thegovernor has
not yet decided what he will do in this
matter Even if he does append his
signature, it is held, the bill will not
be legal.
Beside signing the bill, the Cover
nor is to appoint three highway com
mlssloners under the act, one from each
county, to serve terms of one, two an d
three years, respectively, and these
commissioners must 90 before the
Levy Courts of the counties and begin
their active preparations for perma.
nent road building. Until it is done
and the matter thus comes formally
before the Levy Courts, the latter can
take no action.
Under the S6O,O Of State money
appropriated in the act-S3O, 600 for
each year until til e next Legislature
the advocates of the bill are confident
that from ten to twenty miles of sound
shapely driveways can be permanently
built IN each county this year, and the
same number next.

FRUIT GROWERS SANGUINE
OVER DAMAGE TO CROPS
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AS TO REAL Ex-
TENT OF THE RECENT COLD SPELL
1t Will Take Several Days of Wam Weather
to Find out the Damage Done and Grow
eTs are Hoping For the Best.

The freeze of Saturday night and the
frost of Sunday night have caused
great anxiety among the fruit growers
OF this vicinity ard the general opin-
ION OF many is that the fruit crop has
been badly damaged. The therm9m-
eter early Sunday morning registered
20 degrees and followed as it was on
Monday morning by a heavy frost.
1t Is hardly reasonable to believe that
pears and plums especially would es-
cape. A number of our leading farm
ers IN this vicinity have been inter
viewed, and there seems to be a differ
ence of opinion. Some think that pears
ana plums are killed and peaches suf-
tered slightly. Others think that pears
and peaches are gone and plums will
survive. 1t will take a few days of
warm sunshiny weather to tell the ex
tent OF the damage done. J. E. Car
ter, one of the best informed farmers
of this vicinity, does not think the crop
is as badly damaged az many think
and is hoping there will be enough
left for a good crop.
Fred. Thomas, of the Cummins farm
one of the extentiye peach growers of
this section, however, believes that
the peaches and plums have not been
destroyed. A number of twigs taken
from Mr.. Thomas S orchard of Elber-
tas and Belle of Georgia showed that
few have been harmed so far as the
experts could Judge at this time.
Robert H. Wilson, one of the most
prominent and extensive growers of
Kent County. says ''The injury to
peaches is trifing. The crop will be
light at best. Keiffer pears look cheer.
full, yet no one can tell what a pear is
going to do.
CHEswOLD, April c: With the ther-
mometer at 26 Sunday morning and
ice half inch in thickness (the coolest
morning decidedly since about Feb.
Goth. peaches and other fruit are gen
orally considered here to be seriously
damaged. c. BOggs says there will
not be car load of peaches in all
Kent county this year. Many think
however the sharp frost of Monday
morning did the greater damage.
There is more hope that plums have
stood the ordeal but pears are viewed
as hopeless. 1t will require few days
yet however 20 determine the true
situation. Vegetation is about three
weeks ahead of normal conditions for
the first week in April.
