sent us by an esteemed subscriber to
The RECORD with the request that
it be published. We take pleasure
in complying:
"In the beginning God created
the heavens and earth, then the
editor and the liberal advertiser
which was all good. The next day
it showed, and He created the man
who does not believe in advertising,
another who does not take the home
paper-then he rested. Then the
devil got into the molding room and
created the man who takes the paper
for several years and fail to pay for it.
After he he had completed that
sorry job and had a few Jumps left
he created the excuse of man who
settles his subscription by informit
the postmaster to mark his paper
refused"

Bucket shops" are prohibited
by a bill that seeks to effectual-
ly put a stop to this form of
gambling and which will accom'
plish the object, if enforced.
The violation of leases and
rent contracts is the subject
matter Of one of the best acts
passed. Under this law if a
man leases or rents lands and
then fails to enter upon the per-
formance of the contract, he is
guilty of a misdemeanor and
may be punished in the criminal
courts. 1t is not unusual for a
man to rent land the first of the:
year and then along about April,
when it is too late for the land
lord to secure another tenant,
walk off and leave the place.
The pay of jurors is raised by
another bill, and still another
provides way Of forcing the
attendance of jurors upon
municipal courts. "a
A bill was enacted into law
which prohibits the manufacture
and sale of adulterated or mis-
branded or poisonous or deleteri-
Gus foods and drugs. This law
follows the general lines of the
act of congress passed last sum-
mer ard is intended to make
that act effective within the
State, and is really one of the
most important of all measures
considered and will, if enforced,
have a most beneficial effect up
on the health and pocket books
of our people. 81
The sale of cocaine except on
regular prescriptions is strictly
forbidden by another act.
Municipal authorities are
further authorized to condemn
land for drainage and sewerage
purposes. Heretofore many a
town has been seriously handi-
capped in its efforts to improve
health and comfort by one or
two stubborn and narrow mind
ed persons who could see no
further than their own ends and
aims.
Mr. .Bryan's bill to authorize
our county commissioners to
borrow money from; the Sinking
fund to pay the s11, 900 debt on
roads and bridges went through
and became law. Mr.. Bass in
troduced practically the same
bill in the senate but Mr. Bryan's
having straveled" faster, went
through and of course the other
was then withdrawn.
The communication road for
Williamsburg was raised to 81 or
four days. Some other counties
raised to $500 and a few to even
81.
These are the most important
measures that we're enacted into
law. Of course there were many
others but not of sufficient inter-
est to take up the space of this
paper.

be in charge of the commission
that will be appointed to wind
up the State dispensary. Bids
must be sent sealed to the
county treasurer after advertise
; ment. The county board will
have the liquor analyzed and
tested. The profits will be
divided as follows: one third to
ordinary county fund. one third
to school fund or roads and
bridges and one third to the
| town. This will. in a word, be
the working until an election be
held resulting against the sale.
Elections may be held once in
four years at the same time as
fixed for general elections. This
year, however, an election may
be held provided one fourth of
the voters petition therefor
before May j. At the election
the question to be decided will
be whether We shall have pro-
hibition or county dispensaries.
No doubt the law, as is always
the case with all important acts
when first enacted, contains
defects which time will disclose
and to remedy which future
legislatures will be called upon.
1t is probable that the new
board will be named right away
and the county dispensaries
will be opened within ten or
fifteen. days.
There we're not as many wild
cat bills introduced as usual
and the acts passed number
fewer than in quite while. In
all, the output was two hun
dred only.

of some moment.
The act to investigate freight
rats and determinations, though
having special reference to the
conduct of the railroads to
wards. Charleston, will open up
the entire matter and let in
light upon the whole subject
and will doubtless lead to some
relief from the terrible exac'ions
and extortions of common car
riers throughout the country.
Winthrop College gets the
practice school at last. This
carries an appropriation of
$4,000 to supplement S25, 600
given by a private individual
for the building of a model
school house in which the
"practlce" part of the teachers,
course will be carried on.
Mention has already been
of the high school measure ap,
propriating $4,000 for the
establishment of high schools.
An act went through provid.
ing a uniform method of issuing
bonds by school districts for
building school houses and other
| improvements. This removes
the necessity for special acts for
such purposes.
The law limiting the hours OF
labor in cotton and woolen mills
to ten hours is of little personal
interest to this county, but il
is a matter of prime Importance

In baseball, as in mathematics. there
is no royal road to success.
Paramount to everything" said Mr..
Powers, "in the launching of a profess
sional baseball organization is money,
which is essential to its support as
food is to human life, and, unless it
is forthcoming it is idle to discuss the
matter. Men who play baseball have
to be paid salaries and its costs money
to travel from one town to another
and satisfy the demands of hotel keep
ers for food and lodging" . ...
Preliminary to the details of organi-
cation, which, Mr.. Powers declared,
were easily settled, was the raising of
guarantee fund to assure the pay
ment of salaries, travel, and other
necessary expenses of the club. This
was exacted of every organization in
the state league and had to be In sight
before franchise was granted. Mr..
Powers suggested that afund of $2,-
400 would, probably, be required of
Canon City and unless it could be had
it would be useless to make formal
application for admission to the state
league.
After listening to Mr.. Powers state
ment of the case, which outlined in a
very candid manner the requirements
for entrance to the state league, Il was
decided to go ahead with the matter
