What Was Done.

The Legislature got through and
adjourned last Saturday. The work
done was largely of local character.
The most important bill passed dur
ing the session was the biennial ses-
sions bill. Next in Importance was

OF taxation was changed in one i'm
portant particular and that was the
establishment of the franchise system.
This is expected to bring in a larger
revenue to the State. The principal
railroad legislation was to require two
hundred pounds Of baggage to be car

TO Jnc Southern in particular was to
authorize the Attorney General to

Cause OF the War.

We have been asked what is the
cause of the war between Russia and
japan. The first cause of the trouble
dates back to the China-Japanese war.
Il will he remembered that Japan
soon whipped China. Having been
sigually successful IN this war Japan
fully expected to reap her reward by
anneXing certain Of the choice terri
tory of China. Her reward" consist
ed in holding a few second rate war
vessels and the island OF Formosa, for
Russia stepped in and nulitied the
victory by compelling Japan to give
up all her hard earned laurelS. Since
that war Russia prepetrated one of
the most colossal grabs in history. in
1895 Russia compelled Japan to give
up Port Arthur, which controls the
gateway to Peking, Manchuria and
MONGOLIA. In 1897 Russia seized
Port Arthur for ner own. Three years
later Russia got foothold in
Manchuria, which covers 1863, 900
square miles, and has population Of
s. 500, 600. The Boxer uprising, follow
ed in the next year. Russia put lOO,-
600 troops in the district to protect
her Siberian railway and her interests
along it's route. At the end OF that
very same year Russia obtained from
China exclusive trading rights in
Manchuria, and in 1902 further rights
were ceded on the promise that Russia
would evacuate the province within
eighteen months This Russia re-
luctantly agreed to do, but she is
there yet. Last year Russia announc-
ed that she would not cvacuatc
Manchuria unless more exclusive
rights were given practically amount
ing to sovereignty. Although kuSSia
had gone on record that she would
keep her promise, especially to Secre-
tary Hay, she still refused and China
was told that the Russian troops
would continue to hold 2!l the ~?
portant points in Manchurla until the
demands were acceded To. The
United States, Great britain and
Japan combined to hold China firm in
her refusal, aud succeeded. Russia

rightly vetoed by the governor. a
bill was passed which has as its ulti-
mate object the establishment OF a
fertilizer factory in the penitentiary.
In connection with fertilizers, a bill
was passed requiring the inspection of
cotton seed meal. The local option
bill was passed with certain provisos.
1t is required that all counties which
declare against the dispensaries shall
levy a tax Of half mill to pay the
expense of enforcing the law in such
counties. The most important educa-
tional measure was creating 124 free
scholarships in Clemson and increas-
ing the allowance Of the scholarships
in Winthrop. These are the chief
acts of the legislature. There were a
number of bills Of general Importance
which were defeated, among them be-
ing the increased circuit bill. There
was considerable doubt as to whether
this would accomplish the desired
end, but, whether it would or not,
the legislature took no step whereby
congested districts may be relieved,
except by extra courts, which have
not proved entirely satisfactory. An
appropriation was made to complete
the state house.

Chance for the Leap Year Girl.

CndnCc ZOE tIlC 1CGp Sehh N'Ai'
The lower house of the New York
Legislature is studying the abstruse
problem of how much money man
1O4 years old requires for the support
of himself and wife. Hiram Cronk,
who is said to be the only survivor Of
the war of 1912, has passed four years
beyond the century mark, and one leg
islator thinks the veteran deserves a
pension of S72 month from the
state, in addition to the S25 he draws
from the National government. Since
the bill was introduced Cronk has re-
ceived swarm of leap year offers
from marriageable women, but he
says that he will not accept anyone
until he finds out what the legislature
is going to do for him. He is wise.
He doesn't propose that If he should
be cut off in the bloom Of his youth
bis widow shall be leftto struggle pen
niless against the world. On the side
incident shows that no mans solitude
is inconsolable, so far as women are
concerned.

WARD OF MERIT.
Our Greatest Portrait House.

G. A. Hudson, Manager Of lower
Sonth Carolina for the CHICAGO
PORTRAIT COMPANY. is in the
city with a corps Of solicitors who are
showing samples and taking orders Tor
enlarged work on a system tnat meets
public approval. ~
The acme of perfection attained by
this Company commendS them 10 our
consideration. A new process 10 bhe
trade permits the Company to assure
their patrons of IN absolute reproduc-
tion of every feature the photograph,
contains; no mt ney is collected uhtll
the portrait Is delivered.
A high standard of work Is their
aim, yet their prices appeal to all ds-
string artistic enlargements. A fully
paid-up Capital Of One-half mllIlon
dollars is a comfortable assurance to
their patrons, this being the only con-
cern of its kind whose financial and
business methods are recognized by
Dunn, Bradstrest t and other financial
agencies.
Ability to please and fair treatment
CT the public has developed business
of such magnitude that an average OF
two Thousand finished pictures are
shipped daily from their studios.
Any young man of integrity and
20 d characle. who enters their ser
vices, can qualify for positions OF re,
sponsibil1ty and trust, that yield
handsome incomes. The ever-increas-
ing force of solicitors demands more
managers, and promotions come rap,
idly. Mr.. Hudson has established
headquarters at the Smoak House
and can explain to those interested
the system Of operation.

For the information of our policy

company. l publish the following let
ter from William J. Jones, President
of the Milwaukee Mechanics Fire In
.surance Company, dated at Milwau-
kee, Feb. 10th, 1904:
eve are pleased to advise that our
loss in the Baltimore conflagration
will not exceed 100000.
considering the Company's great
financial strength, with total availa-
BILE assets of 80, ,926, 2Sl.42, with a net
surplus over all liabilities Of $780,

disturb the Company's methods Of
underwriting in the slightest degree.
Such disasters are anticipated and in
no way affect the stability OF our
strong crmpany.
This is also another lesson that 1T
pays to get insurance that insures.
