PRESIDENT FINLEY FINDS MUCH IN.
PROyENENT.

dent Finley, of h g Southern
Railway Company, who n a s.
just returned to Washington
from an inspection trip of two
weeks over the line of the sys-
tenn, found evidences of i'm
provement IN business condi-
tions and of "a general disposi-
tion on the part of business
men throughout the South to
take a hopeful view Of the fu
ture.
Speaking Of tine information
he gathered on his trip. Mr.
Finley said.
"Prices for pig iron are firm

have sold their product up to
the end of the year, and increas
ing number of inquiries for iron
warrant the expectation that
orders will soon be placed for
business during the coming
year.
Lumber is more active than

ally is this true of the grades
shipped in box cars. The pres
ent demand viii Doe augmented
by Increased requirements from
railways, principally for car re-
pairs, as some of the railways
are contracting with car come
panies for some of their heavier
repair work.
"One of the most encourag
ing signs of reviving industrial
activity is the increasing move
ment of steam coal industrial
centers. The unusually warm
weather of the present fal is
retarding the sale of domestic
coal.
'The cotton crop is early. and

of the stagnation which has

ECONOMY THE WATCHWORD.

Economy is one OF the first prin-
ciplcs Of any business man. In
everything he undertakes or does
the matter of economy is one OF
the most important which he con
siders. And unless he is cconom-
ical there is small chance Of his
ever succeeding In anything.
This law should hold true with
the state legislature but the con
trary seems to have been true. 1t
is timated hat the appropriations
by u lawmakers was nearly
5000, 900 more than it was last
year. Instead of being more eco
nomical and cutting down the ex-
pense they spent nearly 5000, 00C
more and at this time too when
they needed to cut down expenses.
We think that this is a matter
which should have the serious con.
sideration Of every voter this sum.
mer when he come to casting his
ballot for his candipates for the
legislature. BE certain that the
men who arc chosen are safe ant
conservative when it comes to the
matter of appriating the state
money and then vote for them.
Economy should be the watchword
for the coming campaign.

Death of Little Bernice Hubbard.

The tyrant death, the unwcl-
come intruder, has entered another
household, dismembcrcd another
happy home circle, crushed the
hearts of father and mother, and
there is another little vacant chair.
When the aged and iniirm,
weighted with the accumulated
toll and cares of many years, are
called to go hcncc,'' we are not
surprised, for such is natural and
expected. But when the unbidden

IN THE SENATE
Marlboro's Record in the Upper
House

III fAuS OCuUo IcCClNCu OIllN UWO OF
three journals of the house during
the last two weeks of the legisla-
turc, and consequently not much
can be given about the Marlboro
members Of that body during that
time. Most of the information
below is in regard to the senate.
Senator Rogers had the Civil
Code amended SO rs to remove the
INIT for which the city Of Ben.
ncttsville may be bonded for
waterworks and sewerage. This
was to make the Code conform to
the Constitution, which had al
ready been amended.
On Tuesday the house passed
the supply bill, appropriating over
one and II half million dollars for
various purposes. To this will be
added about SEC, 900 for the cxpcn-
scs of the legislature and as much
more for other appropriations.
The salaries Of the state officers
have been raised, travelling cxpcn-
ses allowed Judges, two new judg-
es and solicitors added, appropi-
atoms for the colleges increased,
$4,000 appropriated for q soldiers
home in Columbia, the amount
paid by the state for water in Co.
lumbia raised from $4,000 to
$4,000, and many other items in
creased.
There was opposition to allow
ing comptroller general funds to
investigate county treasures and
auditors Offices, but the item pass
ed, 50 to AZ. Gibson, Lane and
McColl voted for it.
Senator Rogers voted against a
resolution to appoint a commission
to look into the possibility of bull
ding a supreme court room in Co
lumbia, and it was killed, "a to 10.
TIE LIEN LAW.
On Wednesday, the senate pass
ed Senator Crouch's bill to repeal
the lien law, by a vote of II to 10.
Senator Rogers voted with the
majority against the lien law.
In the discussion of the bill, sc
cording to the News and Courier,
Senator Rogers said the people
we're using the lien law to their
own undoing. The country is
prospcring in spite Of the lien law:
no other pursuit on earth could
stand the drain Of resources that
agriculture has to stand under the
lien law. For II while some folks
will suffer and have to suffer self
denial, but in the end it will be
for their own good. He regarded
the repeal rs a plain duty. The
lien law gives a credit, but it is !;
credit that is ruinous.
If you believe in tinkcring with
an old sore and not cut it out then
1t IS necessary to act on the mort
gage bill. If the lien law be re-
pcalcd then the mortgage law has
to be further limited. The onll
way to treat the Isl is to cut Out
the evil, root and branch. II,

gage any property in actual exist.
