a specialist l believed 1t would be only for
a short time. But, as you say, my case Is
an obstinate one. I have already far ex-
ceeded the amount I calculated to pay. You
have been very kind about arrears, but 1
don't wish to continue further. The money
must be paid some time. you know" the
patient added with an attempt at cheerful
ness. The physician pondered for a mo-
ment Then he said: Mr.. Blank, I am
glad you have been frank with me. 1 shall
be equally frank with you. I will intrust
you with a secret. 1 am interested in your
case for professional reasons. Go to this

not to go except between the hours named.

way Dr. Cavendish Jones is easily able to
meet the deficiency in his uptown house

still full of activity. energy and life. His
home in New York had been completed in

The magnificent result of the labor of
his prime was before the world-but he
would now produce another work-"The
Quadrupeds of North America
In 1915 the new task was commenced, his
two sons being associated with him. His
friend and connection, DR.. John Bachman
of Charleston, S. c., undertook the scien-

skillful fingers portrayed with wonderful
exactness and beauty the wild creatures and
their surroundings. For of the remark

naturalists and artfsts is that he painted
the birds and animals in life-like attitudes,
instead of stiffly perched or standing. His

WORK OF TIE LEGISLATURE.
The Rouse Refuses to Repeal the
Lien Law.
The Much ibused Law Has Strong Cham
pions 10 Defend It---said TO be the
Poor Mans BuIwark.
By w. II. McCaw.

Special to The Daily Item.
Columbia, Feb. 15.-There was
spirited and interesting debate in the
house last night over the bills to re-
peal and to refer the lien law to the
people, which we're considered togeth-
er. The law it was asserted was en-
acted by reconstruction legislature.
but 80 years of attempts have failed to
repeal it.
Mr.. John C. Sellers vigorously
favored the lien law. He said the
prejudice of the house had been ap-
pealed to by the declaration that thu
law was conceived in sin and brought
forth in inquity by negro legisla
ture. AS matter of fact it was en-
acted in 1866 by a democratic legisla-
ture. The bills proposed to take the
poor farmers only security from him
and make him a hireling and throw
him in competition with the negro
who can be hired for less money.
By yea and nay vote of 7e to 90
the house killed the bill to repeal che
lien law.
Then the vote was taken on the re-
ferendum. The house by vote of 81
to 81 refused to indefinitely postpone.
The question then was on the mo-
tion to strike out the resolving words
of the resolution referring the matter
to the people.
Mr.. Richards disagreed with Mr..
Laney's suggestion that the matter
should go to the primary instead of
the general election in order to reach
a greater number of people.
Mr.. Fraser thought this matter of
referring back to the voters question
that the legislature was given
jurisdiction to pass upon was against
the fundamental principles on which
republic is founded.
The resolution was killed by de-
cisive majority.
} The several bills. proposing changes
in the jury system, which were de-
bated yesterday, were taken up.
By a yea aud nay vote of e1 to SO
the house killed the bills and thus
ends the posi- biiity of any change in
the jury system this session.
Mr.. D. M. Herbert's motion to con-
tinue all second reading bills because
these bills have no hope of passage
before sine die adjournment Saturday
carried by a large majority. This
includes special order, second reading
bills as well as others.
The house then adjourned.
The house passed the Moragn roads
bill and sent it to the senate and
gave third reading to the senate coun-
ty salaries bill sending it back to the
senate with amendments affecting
nearly every county in the State.
The house killed Mr. Higgins bill
leaving the matter of the transfer of
pupils from one district to another to
the trustees of the two districts and
guillotined Mr.. AsEley's bill to cut
off a part of Abbeville into Anderson
county.
The house killed a good bill yester-
day by vote of 54 to %. Mr.. D. o.
Herbert's bill to fix tie time for the
payment of taxes, which provides that
tine present graduated penalty of per
cent. falling due from January /, to
March Is, shall all fall due on the lst
of January.
The house passed Mr.. Toole's bill
providing for book cases for the new
rural free Libraries.
