"REEO, DAY CLUBS"

The house on last Friday, passed the
following bill introduced by Mr.. Rucker
Of Anderson and intended more espe-
cially to facilitate oversight and control
of secret societies among the negroes:
Section /. That on May l, 1908, each
and every secret order or society snail
apply to the clerk of the court OF the
county in which they wish to operate
for a license, which shall set forth the
name of the order or society, the ma
ture and purpose Of same: Provided
every society so licensed shall not be
required to renew said license.
Section 2. That fee Of one dollar
shall be paid to said clerk Of court for
said license, and it shall be the duty Of
said clerk Of court to examine into the
purpose Of said order or society, and he
is hereby empowered to grant or refuse
said license for any reason that may
be deemed good and sufficient by said
clerk.
Section 8. That it shall be misde-
meanor for any one knowingly to attend
upon any meeting of such secret order
or society that has not obtained the IL
cense hereinbefore set as above pro-
vided. And any one violating the pro-
visions hereof, upon conviction, shall
be punished by Imprisonment for not
more than thirty days or fined In the
sum Of not more than one hundred dol
lars, in the discretion Of the court.
The vote on the passage Of this bill
in the house was 46 to Sc, and this
would indicate more or less doubt as
to whether 1t will pass the senate.

crushed under q car wheel Erysipe-
las developed afterward and he had a
serious time of it. Action for damages
in the sum Of $4,000 was commenced
and the case was tried at the Novem-
ber. 1904 term. The jury found for the
preme court reversed the court below
on account of legal errors. and a new
trial was had at the May, 1906 term.
This time the jury gave the plaintiff
$4,000. The supreme court reversed the
court below again, and the case Is
therefore before the circuit court for
the third time. The case was taken up
yesterday afternoon and after all the
testimony for the plaintiff was in, Mr.
]. f. Mcdonald asked for a verdict
for the defendant on the ground that
1t had not been shown that the de-
fendant had contributed to the plain
tiff's injury, except possibly through
the negligence of the plaintiffs "fel-
low servant" George Wilson. After
considerable argument on this point,
pro and con, with Mr.. McCaw repre-
senting the plaintiff, Judge Watts or
dered a verdict for the defendant, sub
stantially on the grounds urged by
Mr.. Mcdonald.
The court is now engaged in the
case of Key VS.. the Western Union
Telegraph company.

What was probably the most disa-

last Friday and Saturday in the shape
of sleet, rain and freezing wind. The
ice formed rapidly and thickly on the
limbs Of the trees, the telephone and
electric wires, the housetops and the
ground. Much damage was done to
overhead wires and because of the dan
gerous situation the electricity was cut
off during most Of the day. Superin-
tendent Barnwell took this precaution
for the reason that with so many brok-
en- telephone wires hanging over the
electric light and power wires there
was no telling what might have been
the consequences Many branches of
shade trees were broken off by being
overloaded with ice, and there was
much damage generally. There were
no serious accidents, however

THE president on last Friday sent
mother brave message to congress on
she subject OF the employers liability
let, the control Of corporations, the
regulation Of stock exchange specula-
ton and other matters. The supreme
oUrt having. decided the employers
liability law to be unconstitutional be-
cause 1t applies to intra- state as we'll
rs inter- state conditions, the president
would have this defect corrected so as
TO make the law apply only to inter-
state conditions. He urges that 1t Is
wrong that the laboring man should
bear all the risks incident to his trade:
that 1t Is nothing but right that the
employer should be made to indemnify
him In case Of accidents from which he
suffers through no fault Of his, and
says that in the event of such a law.
employers could distribute the cost by
putting the risk upon insurance COM
1anies. He recommends that the law
1e made to protect employees In the
government service, including those at
work on the Panama canal, and that
there be an appropriation Of 100000 a
wear to defray expenses. He does not
want to be understood as leaving the
matter Of damages open to unreasona-
HE abuse but would throw proper safe
guards around the conditions on which
damages are to be obtained, and would
have fixed schedule Of compensation
for specific injuries. He discusses the
subject Of judicial injunctions and in
Slsts that while the power Of injunc-
ton is necessary and should not be dis
nensed with, 1t has often been used to
the great wrong Of the laboring man, y.
and the courts should be exceedingly
careful how they permit injunctions.
He says that the Federal government
should have supervision over the finan-
cial operation Of railroads and should
take steps to prevent future watering
of stocks. Gambling in futures, on
margins, he says, should be stopped IL
nossible. He calls attention to the fact
that there are national questions with
which the state cannot deal effectively.
and which are only aggravated by state
He believes that the ma
tional government should take the ini-
tiative in all matters Of this kind and
that the state government should back
the national government up to the full
est extent. Referring to the recent A.
nancial depression, he says that he does
not believe that the acts of the admin
had anything to do with It:
but he wants 1t distinctly understood I,
that he will not be deferred from right
ing wrongs and Furnishing big criminals
even at the cost Of temporary suffer-
ing.

MARTlN-cooK WEDDING.
Interesting Social Event In Allison
Creek Church.

The marriage of Miss Sara Martin
to Mr.. Fred Cook at Allison Creek
church on Wednesday, January 29, was
a social event Of great interest to this
neighborhood.
Long before the appointed hour, peo-
ole from every section of the country
had assembled at the church.
The church was very prettily decor
ased in green and white garlands and
white wedding bells. At the first pew
on each side were small green and
white gates. At the back Of the pulpit
were festoons Of green and white pa
ner, and white wedding bells were sus-
pended at different intervals. Just be-
yond the pulpit were two large white
Dosts wrapped in green garlands. An
arch of green and white was rested
upon these posts, in the center Of which
was large white wedding bell
Promptly at o'clock, the Reverend
Mr.. Hafner took his place in front of
the pulpit To the strains Of Mendels-
sohn's Wedding March rendered very
sweetly by Miss jamie Shillinglaw, four
little ribbon girls, Matte Bell Camp
bell, Macie Huddleston, Mary Bigger
and frankie Jackson, two down each
aisle, entered the church. They opened
the gates, and caught the Streamers Of
white ribbon. When they had taken
heir places, aisles were formed through
which the bridal party entered. Next
came the bridal party, one down each
aisle in the following order: Messrs.
Robert Armstrong and John Simril.
Rob Stewart and Billy Simril; Misses
Ella Carroll and Iona Huddleston,
Nora and Annie Martin.
They formed a semi-circle and then
5oI.Yo ono aisle the bride. MISS
Sara Martin leaning upon the arm OF
Mrs George Martin, while down the
other came the groom, Mr.. Fred Cook,
leaning upon the arm of Mr.. George
Martin. The bride and groom took
their places under the large arch and
Mr.. Hafner spoke the solemn words,
which made them husband and wife.
The order was just reversed in leaving
the church. The bride looked very
rretty in her dress of white embroid-
cred net. All the brides maids were
neatly dressed in white suits, and car
led large bouquets Of fern tied with
white ribbon.
Miss jamie Shillinglaw rendered some
very sweet music before and after the
ceremony, which was very much enjoy
ed by all
The bridal party with a few select
friends then went to the home of the
groom where an elaborate supper was
served. The table was very prettily dec
grated to represent a snow scene with
red and green garlands suspended from
the ceiling. Much fun was caused by
the young people drawing verses from
the snow ball, and then having them
read in the parlor.
The wedding presents were many and
varied showing the popularity of these
young people.

Z. D. Smith, president Of the asso-
citation, has issued a call, in which he
says:
Let no one think that the fight in
augurated for the maintaining of a
remunerative price for cotton will
ever be abandoned; as long as we are
dependent upon our cotton crop and
so long as we have a practical mon
Opoly of it's production, just so long
will we, as a people, grapple with the
problem until we solve 1t In the inter-
est of all parties concerned. There
fore, I, as president Of the Southern
Cotton association, hereby and now
invite all parties interested In the So
