Rosebud increases as the time for

registered.

could not proceed until three names

Mauldin, of Pickens, was nomi
mated and the three were voted for.
After the ballot had proceeded some
one suggested that term of Mr.. L.
A. Sease, of Newberry, had ex-
pired. An examination of the
journal Of the house disclosed that
MIR. Sease was elected in 1901, and
again in 1902, and as the term is
four years it was concluded that
the first election was for all unex-
pired term and the second for full
term, making it expire III 1906.
There should be a record kept in
the Office Of the secretary of State
and it would be done if these trus-
tees were commissioned, though
Mr.. Sease tells us he has his COM
mission for four years from 1902.
The same thing happened with
the trustees of Winthrop, though
Senator Tillman was actually left
off the board of that institution,
whereas in the Clemson matter it
seems only one too many was
elected
DR.. Crawford has resigned and
this will require new election and
il is presumed Senator Tillman will
be elected
There were more candidates for
members OF the board OF penitcntray
directors than any other office. Mr..
d. b. Peurifoy, of Salu( a, who was
one elected, is known to many
Newberry people. The other sue
ccSstul candidate was Hon. J. d.
WingO, of Greenville, member Of
the house.
Mr.. kiblcr has introduced his in
surance bill again this year. 1t
tItSSSN 'llS llOtSC last Cal Dul was
killed in the senate by a very close
vote.
Mr.. Banks bill to require school
trustees to be freeholders was killed.
Mr.. Aull has introduced a road
bill which has been published in
The Herald and News and bill to
provide for rural school libraries.
He had prepared a bill on la;>or con-
tracts but inasmuch as bill which
was brought over from last year
embodied about the same provisions
he advocated it. Two bills Oh this
subject have passed the house.
They provide as follows
'Section S57. Any laborerwork
ing Oh shares of crop, or for wa,
geS in money, or other valuable
/ consideration, under a verbal or
written contract on farm lands, who
shall receive advances, either il
money or supplies and, thereafter
wilfully and without just cause fail
to perform the reasonable service
required Of him by the terms Of the
sad contract, shall be liable to pros.
cCutiOn for a misdcmeanor and
provided, the prosecution shall be
commenced Withill forty days after
the alleged violation, and, on con
viction, shall be punished by i'm
prisonment of 80 days, or to be
fined in the sum of not less thar
$50, nor more than SIoo, in the
discretion of the court; provided
the verbal contract herein referred
to shall be witnessed by at least two
disinterested witnesses; provided
that the contract shall be valid onl,

bills at this session. Il great many
bills have been killed and none of
very great Importance has been
passed. The past week was broken
into by the elections, which took all
of Thursday. There was no SEES
sion On Monday and Tuesday.
Hon. H. II. Evans had easy sail
ing for chairman Of the board Of
directors of the dispensary, receiv-
ing almost two votes to one given
his opponent, though Mr.. McDer-
mott, who ran against him, is a
most excellent gentleman. The
vote stood 90 to So in favor Of
Evans.
Mr.. w. O. Tatum, who was
elected dispensary commissioner,
is an Orangeburg farmer and a
member of the Legislature. He has
long been warm friend of the dis
pensary and is a successful business
man He was elected without op-
position, n,.-soncthing a little re-
markable for SO good position,
for the pay Of this job is exactly
what we pay our governor, s., 900,
and more than ihc pay of the chief
justice OF the supreme court. The
business OF the institution will be
safe in the hands of Mr.. Tatun.
The other members of the board
of directors elected are Hon. John
Bell Towill, member of the house
from Lexington, and young man
of high character and sterling quail
tiles Of head and heart; and A1r.
H. w. Boykin, Of kershaw. Mr..
Boykin is a successful farmer and
was a candidate for this same posi-
tlon two years ago. These two
were elected on the first ballot over
two opponents Of high character, Mr.
J. B. Wylie, Of Chester, and Hon.
R. H. Walker, of Barnwell, a mem,
Der of the present house.
The election Of Miss Lime La
borde as State librarian over several
applicants for the place on the first
ballot IS deserved compliment to a
most excellent and a most descrv-
ing young lady.
The other elections were held OH
Thursday evening and there were
few candidates. These included
trustees of the various colleges and
resulted as follows:
