Nearly all of Friday afternoon, the
house was in committee of the whole
grinding out reports on bills. The fol-
lowing bills were f~avOrably reported,
some with slight amendments, and
some subject to amendment and de-
bate:
BY Acknowledging to mortgage
releases.
BY Young-The involuntary killing
of a human being, by the act. pro-
curement or culpable negligence of
another, whilst such other person is
engaged in the commission of a tres
pass, or other injury to private rights
or property, Or engaged in any at
tempt to commit such injury, shall be
deemed m~anslaughter in the third
degree.
BY Young-Giving the sheriff the
right to take bail from a prisoner. -
BY Adams-That the transcript of
notes of any duly appointed court
stenOgrapher in any court of record in
thereafter be transcribed by such
stenographer and thereafter verified
by his affidavit as being a full and
true transcript of the notes taken by
ceeding before such court of record.
or certified by him to be a true copy
of all of the evidence of any witness
or witnesses used and examined in
any such legal proceedings before a
court of record, may be introduced in
evidence by any party desiring to use
the same, and the same shall be prima
facie evidence of the facts therein
stated
Ten local bills were also considered
and recommended f~avorably.
State Detective Services.
George Hfldreth, of Labette. is an in
nocent looking man, but he has a
scheme to introduce a state detective
service which would be as nice and
complete in it's way as the system en-
ployed by the czar of Russia in keeping
tab on his rebellious subjects.
In the first place Mr.. Hildreth intro
duced a bill providing for a system of
state constables, appointed by the gov
erncr for each congressional district,
whose duty it would be to ferret out
crime of all kinds and bring prosecu-
lions. This bill went to the judiciary
committee. This morning Mr.. Hildreth
went a step further and introduced a
petition on the Sane subject which also
went to the judiciary committee. The
petition was in the form of a resolu-
ton, and was as follows:
whereas, Our laws are made to pro-
tect the loyal citizens and their inter-
ests and restrain and punish those who
disregard and violate the laws of this
great state Of Kansas; and
Whereas, We deDlore the manifest
disregard Tor our state laws and the
increase Of the criminal class, a condi-
ton that the best citizens view with
alarm.
Therefore, For the better protection
of the loyal citizens and their interests
and for the better enforcement of the
laws Of Kansas. we ask our repre-
sentatives in our state legislature to
enact a law providing for the appoint
ment n control of an efficient secret
service for our state, who shall appre-
bend and bring before the courts those
who violate our laws, in such similar
and efficient manner as the United
States so successfully uses to apDre-
bend and to secure criminals in order
to bring them before the courts of jus
tice."
The resolution was sent in by the
Anti-Horsethief association of Labette

New Freight Depot.

Mr.. J. A. Heether, superintendent OF
the Charleston division of the Southern
Railway, was in the city last Saturday in
reference to erecting new freight depot
for Bamberg, to take the place of the
one destroyed by frerecently. Mr.. Heeth-
er while here conferred with q number OF
citizens, as Mayor G.. Moye Dickinson
had written him in reference to changing
the location of the warehouse and cotton
platform. The superintendent was met
at the depot Saturday morning by Mayor
Dickinson and few citizens, and the
ground was gone over and the proposed!
location examined. Mr. Heether express
ed himself as being in favor of the change
because the citizens of the town wanted
it. and there seems little doubt but that
the warehouse will be erected on the rail-
road property on the west side of Main
street, below the passenger depot. Mr..
Heether had his surveyor, Mr.. Millard,
with him and the location was surveyed.
A blue print will be made and sent to
Mayor Dickinson as early as possible
Mr. Heether seemed not only willing but
anxious to comply with the wishes OF
our citizens and to give US better freight
facilities.

Her Opinion.

Bishop McCabe relates the following
story:
aOnce upon time I was in a railroad
accident. It was one of the only two l
have ever experienced, and I have travel
ed more than 10000 miles on trains and
steamers, three times as far as from here
to the moon.
"a broken wheel threw the train of
the track. The car I was in was shatter-
ed yerv much. Seated just ahead of me
was an elderly lady who was suffering
from rheumatism. 1t was necessary to
change cars. I helped her off the car,
carried her valise, and gave her the sup
nort of nv arm. Behind Us came noble
looking English lady with her husband
by her side.
"She was scolding him well for starting
on their Journey on Friday. 1 tod you,
James, she said, something would happen
If we should start on Friday
I" Madam said I, do you know that
Columbus set sail to discover America on
Friday? o., .,.:ou
and said: Sir, in my opinion it is great
pitv America was ever discovered at ALL"

an annual rate of interest not to exceed
six per cent, was held Tuesday. Messrs.

for bonds and one against.
At this election three citizens as board
of public works were voted for g. Il.

Death Of Mrs. j. F. Coleman.

Death to the aged man or woman who
has journeyed along life's way for three
score years and ten, is sufficient cause for
sadness. But when youths brief years
have not all been counted by the hand Of
human existence, and when we see the
happiness apparently in store for the not
long welded couple cut of, what then
shall be said?
Mrs. Carrie Kearse Coleman after 3
lingering illness of six weeks with ty'
phoid fever, died Saturday at her home
in Olar. The interment took place Sum
day at the family burying ground, the
services being conducted by Rev. Jno. l..
Harley.
This death is particularly sad one. A
husband and child Of one year, are left
to mourn the departed wife and mother,
together with Mrs. Coleman's mother
and brothers and sisters.
Only a little over two years ago ]. F.
Coleman led Carrie Kearse to the altar,
and there they plighted troth pledging
their love for their natural lives. Who
could have foreseen that in 80 short q
time the young husband would be with.

all the many friends who had gathered
to bid them God-speed, should be mourn.

When the ceremony of death had been
completed at the church, the friends were
all permitted to view for the last time the
face of their departed friend. Truly as
one gazed upon her, he could not help
feeling that

thew allow no one but the industrious to
remain there. They have "pest house"
for those too lazy to work, SO Mr.. Burts
says. May it remain empty. While in
Edgefeld we were entertained at the
hospitable home of Mr.. Jack Reel.
At each place we visited we found the
folks entertaining, hospitable and social.
None seemed to fear to work, but rather
condemning those who do. The folks at
Johnston are church-going people. We
found Rev. Martin at the head OF the
Methodists, and Rev. Cooper attends to
the spiritual teachings of the Baptists
There are number of other churches
there, but they do not have services as
regularly as these two. On one Sunday
in the Baptist church, I guess it could be
called a kind of missionary day, eight
hundred twenty-nine dollars and fifty
nine cents (s829 5s) was promised the mis-
sionary field, and each Sunday Rev.
Cooper has some call for the missionary
workers to do, always taking the lead
himself, and his congregation seems
always ready to follow. He is dutiful
worker, an able preacher, and a good
singer. There are two newspapers run
in this little city, the News and the Mon
itor. Mr.. b. G. Bailey is editor OF the
News, which is weekly paper, and MIR.
G. J. Terrell is the well-known head of
the Monitor, which is now semi-weekly.
Both papers are up-to-date and strive for
the upbuilding of education and improve
ment in every way.
The health at each place we went was
exceptionally fine, the water good, and
the air fresh and invigorating, and with
royal entertainment one could not help
feeling better in every way, but still a
little home sickness will steal over one at
times, and when we found that little dis
ease taking charge of us we started for
home, in company with a party OF SIX
young folks, and taking in the Savannah
Valley Fair" in Augusta fortwo days and
nights, we bade farewell at the union sta
ton, they to go back home and the writer
to do likewise, and We felt when we ar"
rived that there was no place like home,
but still wishing to meet all the folks
again and ever cherishing the many
friends we feel sure that are in Edge
field county. GEORGE EMMA JORDAN.

In Memorial.

Jane Susan Counts was born at Bu-"
ford's Bridge, 8. c., August 22nd, 1882,
and died at her home at Bamberg October
10th, 1905, in the 18th year of her age.
She was the third daughter of George
Ward Moye, man well-known and
greatly beloved in the section in which
he lived and died; who, losing his. wife
before he reached middle age, was left
with large family, to whom he was ever
fond, faithful father.
The subject of my sketch professed
Christ at the age of 16, and from that time
until her death was an earnest, consistent
follower of the meek and lowly Jesus.
Surrounded by all the comforts and lux
uries that wealth could buy, with many
temptations before her to worship at the
shrine of Mammon, she steadfastly clung
to her religion, by her actions declaring
like David of old; "rd rather be door
keeper in the house of my God than to
dwell in the tents of wickedness."
"Her faith was as deep set as the Rock
of Ages, as firm and unyielding as the
roots of mighty oak, yet in its express
sion as calm and gentle as the zephyr
which waves its leaves"
She was friend to the poor, an angel
of mercy to the sick and afflicted, and
"were everyone for whom she did some
loving service to bring blossom to her
grave, she would sleep beneath wilder
ness of flowers"
When but nineteen years old she was
married to Col. T. J. Counts, who sur
wives her, and during the more than fifty
years which she walked BY his side, was
faithful wife and devoted mother to the
seven children which blessed their union.
During this time the Lord severely chas-
tened her in calling upon her to give up
five of these dear children, three of them
grown, one a beautiful girl, in the bloom
of young womanhood, only one year
a wife, to whose helpless babe thus left
motherless, she was mother indeed
and in truth; yet drinking to the dregs
these cups Of sorrow, she with Christian
fortitude, could say, "Not my will, Oh
Father, but Thine be done"
In loving recollection of her many vir-
tues which endeared her to family and
friends, her sorrowing niece pens this
feeble tribute to her memory, thanking
God for her life and her example; praying
to meet her again "in the land of light, in
the presence of the King"
