The Barnwell People has been
urging the passage of an amendment
20 the constitution changing the
time for the annual meeting of the
legislature from January to July. In
a recent issue of this paper it was
suggested that the legislature meet
in January and after passing the ap-
preparation and supply bills meet in
July and conclude the session. This
to be done until the amendment could
be passed on by the people.
In 1906, see House Journal, page
eOs, Mr.. +. W. Higgins, then mem
Der from Newberry county, present
ed joint resolution proposing an
amendment to Article II, Section 9,
of the constitution changing the time
for the meeting of the legislature
from January to July.
Mr.. Higgins claims to be pioneer
in the movement and states that his
joint resolution was withdrawn be-
cause he did not think the people at
that time were ready for the change
January is a very untimely part Of
the year to hold the legislative ses-
sion. It would not cost any more to
keep the members cool in July than
it does to keep them warm in Janu-
ary and in a great many respects it
would be a much better time for the
legislature to meet.

Riser.JOhnsOn.

June, month of roses, and by long
usage of wedding bells, and nuptials
and blushing brides.
Half past five o'clock last Wednes-
day evening at "Brick house" the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. c. Riser,
of the county, was the occasion OF
the giving in marriage OF their
daughter, Josephine, to Mr.. Clark b.
Johnson, of Laurens, in the presence
of large gathering of relatives and
friends. Promptly on the appointed
hour to the low strains of the music
given by little Miss Nenie Duncan,
the bride, radiant in white satin and
crystal trimmings, carrying an i'm
mense bouquet Of roses and lilies OF
the valley the present of the groom,
came in on the arm Of the maid of
honor, Miss Sara Scott, in blue silk,
preceded by little Misses Eunice
Duncan and Lois Johnson bearing
lighted candles, followed by the
groom on the arm of his brother Mr..
Johnny Johnson. Standing beneath
an arch of evergreen prettily set OF
by myriad daises and burning can
dies the happy couple accepted the
vows in an impressive ceremony by
Rev. C. Lewis Fowler, Of Clinton.
The spacious rooms Of this famous
old home were delightful with ever
greens and numerous pot plants.
Many handsome presents in silver,
cut glass, etc., affect the popularity
of the contracting parties. Delicious
cake and cream was served by Misses
Sara Shannon, Willie Shannon, Nenie
Duncan and Cornelia Shannon. The
guests from distance were: Mr..
and Mrs. J. T. Robertson, J. NJ. Pitts
and D. W. Mason, of Clinton; Misses
Pearl McCrackin, Rachel McCrackin,
Lizzie McCrackin and Ruth McCrack-
in, of Newberry; Sam Johnson, OF
Tennessee; Mrs. Cotton Chase, OF
Charlotte. After receiving congratu-
lations of their friends the bride and
groom, with a party of friends and
relatives, left for the home Of the
groom's parents in Laurens, where
splendid supper was served large
crowd.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson will be at
home to their friends at the parental
home of the groom in "Shack" in old
Jacks.

ROAD TO SALCDA.

We notice that the town of Saluda
has voted bonds practically unani-
mously for the purpose of securing a
railroad. We understand that this
money that the Saluda people have
will be given to any corporation
that will building a railroad into the
town of Saluda.
We do not know the inside, but
we were told some months ago that
Mr.. Williams Of the Seaboard was
buying up several short lines be-
tween Augusta and some point on the
gulf coast of Florida. This road has
been built, We understand, from Au-
gusta to Madison, Fla, town about
20 or 80 miles from the gulf.
Now, if the Seaboard desires con-
nection with this road for it's lines
to the North, it seems to us that the
most direct and the shortest should
be secured. This connection would
be from Augusta via Edgefeld, Salu-
da and Newberry to Whitmire, and
we think that it is of sufficient i'm
portance for the people along the
route between Augusta and Whit
mire to be. interested.
TO go from Augusta to Greenwood
would lengthen the distance about
so miles. The distance from Angus
ia to Whitmire is practically the
same as the distance to Augusta via
Saluda to Greenwood. We do not
know what steps the Saluda people
are taking to secure the railroad, but
it seems to us that if they could get
in touch with Mr.. Williams Of the
Seaboard and get him to extend this
gulf and Florida road via Saluda to
Whitmire would be the best practical
BILE plan they could adopt.

which I think worth passing on in
South Carolina in this year of poll
tics and I am going to group them
here
Lo! A mans political aspirations
lay up for him many days of trouble,
tribulations and prevarications.
To a man up tree, it appears that
man who runs for congress has to
have money as well as character and
brains.
Men who can be bought during a
political campaign are cheap screws.
In order to stop the row, pay hon
est labor more and offceholders less.
Get right and stay right, and be
sure to preserve the proof in antici-
patton of inevitable "aspersions."
Keep your skirts clean and when
you run Tor an office it will be easier
for you to prove an alibi.
The use of money in campaign has
come about because so many people
have receptive leaning towards the
candidates.
They will furnish food for thought
for the ordinary voter as we'll as the
politician. And here is another one:
Many a man could establish a
good character in court but when it
comes to taking any risk in a politi-
cal "fght,' that is something else.
Wherefore, it is a wise man who
stops to consider whether he would
rather cling to his reputation or pre-
fer to take chances on gratifying his
ambition. ..-.
