SENATE


was dropped at the noon recess and
was taken up again on ~reconvening
at 2:9O. The debate was a warm one.
Senator Williams believed that the bill
was aimed at the sheep men and if
amended to take in cattle as well he
would support it. Senator Jackson
offered an amendment to this effect,
which was defeated. He stated that
If it was a bill covering both sheep
and cattle he would vote for it; if
sheep alone he would vote against it.
Senator Pitt opposed the bill, as he
did not believe the bill was just to
the home ranch. and his argument
caused a hot controversy. Senator
Green was in favor of the bill in its
entirety. Senator Pitt offered an am
endment to the effect that the new law
should in no way effect the present
law regarding the collection of licen-
ses. The amendment was adopted,
which practically killed the bill. Bill
passed by a vote of 9 to 7.

ASSEMBLY
The Assembly resolved itself into a
Committee of the Whole. A number
of bills were referred to the committee,
the most important being the appro-
priation of $4,000 for the rebuilding
of the Orphans Home. This bill
caused considerable discussion. in
which Mr.. Noteware took an active
part, favoring the bill and the appro-
priatiOn. Mr.. Cooke. on the other
hand, did not agree tt the amount APP
propriated and wanted further time to
consider the matter before making
the appropriation. Mr.. Logan of
Ormsby was called upon for estimates
which were furnished to the satisfac-
ton of the Assembly. Other members
advocated Tie measure, as they stated
that the home was not a party or per-
sonal measure. but a State necessity.
The committee recommended Z
back with recommendations that it
pass.
The committee then arose and the
Dill was called up. 1t Was placed up
on the third reading and passed by a

The New Mill President. {.
(The State.)

The announcement that Mr.. Lewis w.
Parker will, for awhile Al least, retain the
presidency of the Whaley mills is a gu uaran-
tee that the manageme ent will have the con.
fidence OF the cotton mill world and the pub
lie generally.
1t was only a few years ago that Mr.. Park
er was induced to TAX e part OF his time from
lucrative and growing law practice In
Greenville to straighten out the affairs OF the
Victor cotton mill at Greers, then in an un-
satisfactory condition. This was bis en-.
trnnce into cotton mill management. He
had already won the confidence of the Imam
cial world by his record at the bar and as one
of the managing officers of the remarkably
successful Piedmont Savings and Invest
ment company, an orga niza1ion which has
not only made money but has been a consid-
erahle factor In establishing the prosperity
OF the Mountain City upon q firm nasis. 1t
was largely through Mr.. Parker's efforts and
influence that the Monaghan mil, with a
capital stock OF $500, ,000 was built In the city
ofGreenville In 1901, Mr.. Parker being vice.
president. The Victor mill under his ad.
ministraiion has been enlarged and another
M Ill built at Greers.
Though young in years and comparatively
new in the mill business. Mr.. Parker is rated
high among South Cardinals successful mill
men, He Ia sale, conservative, prudent
manager, yet not afraid TO plan and to COM
plete large undertakings. The only thing to
he regretted in his connection with the
Whalry mills Is that 1t Is only temporary
and that Mr.. Parker will not become per-
manent resident OF the capital city.

How to Tell Age Of Horses.

The popular idea that the age OF a
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth, says a veterinary surgeon, Is
not entirely correct. After the eighth
year the horse has no more new teeth,
so that the tooth method is useless for
telling the age Of a horse which is more
than years old. AS soon as the set OF
teeth is complete, however, wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge OF
the lower eyelid, and new wrinkle Is
added each year, so that to get at the
age of a horse over s years old you
must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles.

THE KITCHEN RANGE.
How to Economic on the Use @
CoaI-BuildinG Fires.

Contributing Fires.
One Of the nost fruitful sources OF
household w9ste ans extravaganza is
the coal bin, and to-; Of fuel are used
where q single c:.e would give the
same results. Open drafts and range
only burn a needless amount Of coal,
but burn out the range at the same
time. \ shovelful of coal or sufficient
to lightly cover the fire will accom-
plish as much as a half scuttleful, ex-
cepting in the increase Of the coal
mans trade.
For 4 small range nut coal is best;
for large one, small egg coal Red
ash coal makes hotter fire, with
fewer cinders, than the white ash, and
the latter burns more slowly. For
these reasons an equal mixture Of the
two is wise economy. The ashes
taken from the ire should never be
thrown into the can until they are
sifted. The cinders thus obtained can
be used on the fire at times when the
greatest heat is not needed. But they
should always be added after the fresh
coal is well aglow.
4 third of a cupful Of kerosene with
which to saturate the kindling and
coal before putting it in the range
will facilitate the housemaid's morn
ing work, whether OF not the fire has
been kept overnight. Kerosene should
never, however, be poured directly into
g. stove, either from the cup or can.
The best way is to lay the wood on
a shovel and cover it there with the
OIL and then add sprinkling to a
shovelful Of coal. Many housekeepers
insure their kitchens against accident
from this cause by leaving q part Of
cupful Of oil for the servants use and
locking the rest in the storeroom.
A handful Of sugar will revive an
expiring fire as quickly as will kero-
sene, but happy the housewife whose
maid is ignorant of the fact. This ac-
counts in many cases for the rapid dis
appearance Of the kitchen sugar sup
ply.
