GAVE PLEASANT
FAREWELL RECEPTION

Wednesday ezening the Com mer-
eial Club gave farewell reception
for E. A Burrell and j. G. Merrill,
at the club rooms over the First
National bank. Members of the
lub and others, to the number of
/ thirty were present. President
Nose Lewis called the gathering to
order about 9:30 and after stating
the object of the meeting, called
upon different members of the club
for short talks. All referred to the
high standing Mr.. Burrell had at
tanned among the business men of
Montpelier during his seven and
half years residence here, to the
ernest efforts he had put forth for
the advancement of the county and
city and to his sterling qualities as
man in general, and expressed tht
deepest regret that he had decided
to cast his lot elsewhere, On be-
half of the club, each speaker ex
tended best wishes for his future
health, happiness and prosperity.
Mr.. Merrill, who is 10 leave the
city Temporarily, at least, was heart
lily commenced for his faithful ser
wees as secretary of the club during
the past year.
Mr.. Burrell responded in most
feeling terms to the words of COM
mendatlon which had been spoken
in his behalf. He stated that his as.
sociations with the business men of
Montpelier had been most cordial
and pleasant, and he felt that here
he had formed some of the truest
friendships of his life. He offered
some we'll timed advice to the mem
bers of the club and expressed the
belief that no section of Idaho had
a better or brighter future before il
than Bear Lake Valley.
Il. +. Dalton, who succeeds Mr..
Burrell, as manager of the G. w. &
M. Co., was extended a cordia
welcome to the city by president
Lewis, and in response Mr.. Daltor
stated his best energies would b,
devoted in assisting to build up thi
city and county, and he hoped to b.
able to win the same good will ant
appreciation that had been gained
by Mr.. Burrell.
While waiting the preparation o
the good things to eat, the clul
elected Henry Donglas as directo
to fill the vacancy caused by tn
resignation of Mr.. Burrell. TIL

Roberts as secretary to succeed j

by Chief Justice George ii. Stewart
of the supreme conrt of the state in
the hall of the house of representa-
tives.
Shortly after i o'clock after the
hall and gallery had been filled with
friends and associates of the govern.
or-elect, the elected state officials,
accompanied in, most instances by
the outgoing official, headed by
Governor Brady and Governor-elect
IIawley, marched into the hall of
representative and took seats ar
ranged for the purpose about the
desk of the speaker. Chief Justice
Stewart mounted to the speakers
char and without ceremony or CON-
ment signifed his readiness to ad-
minister the oath Of office.
Governor Brady arose with his
successor and introduced him to the
chief justice who administered the
constitutional oath. 'sYou do
solemnly swear that you will sup
port the constitution of the United
States, the constitution and laws of
the State of idaho and that you will
perform the duties Of the Office of
governor to the best of your ability,
so help you God" spoke the chief
justice.
81 do" came the prompt and
clear tones Of the new governor, and
the hall rang with applause as an
other governor of the state was thus
inducted into his office and the
duties of the chief executive of the
state placed upon his shoulders.
In like manner the like oath wal
exacted from each of the other STATE
officials by the chief justice, the
wording being changed only to suit
the office to which each was being
sworn.
Thus simply we're the new officer
inducted into office. AT the concln
sion Of this simple proceeding, ther'
was round of applause and SOM
one in the gallery started call TO
.'Hawley, Hawley, speach," ane
the demand was quickly taken u
by others.
Governor Hawley mounted th
steps to the side of the chief justio
and delivered just few words
expressive of his appreciation Q
the high honor conferred upon hir
by the people of the state. i
promised the members of the tw
legislative bodies to unite with thel
in advancing the best interests of th
state and expressed a hope that th
session of the Legislature would
pleasant and harmonious one. Il
aleo expressed desire that all u
officials of the state, himself incln'
ed, would so conduct the dnti
devolvIng upon them, that whe
they go out of Office two years fro
now, they will merit the declarati'
of the people, "Well done th'

After the ssTl0erS."

Somewhat of sentation was
sprung here yesterday by the arrest
of eight negroes charged with selling
whiskey. 1t seems that ever since
before the holidays began, about
twenty days ago, detective has
been quietly at work getting evi-
dence against these parties and
now that the work is completed the
drag net of the law has made its
haul. While only negroes have
been arrested up to this time, it is
said that the detective has evidence
against several white men for the
same offence. Whether or not these
will be arrested remains to be seen.
Until yesterday only few people
knew that the detective was here, so
quietly has he been working.

Gentlemen
| take this method of speaking to
you. | want to urge upon you to
get busy and burn your plant beds,
and plant all the tobacco you can
possibly take care of. l want you
to get the benefit of the short crop
that will be planted. There will be
at best only so per cent of last
years crop planted over this side of
the Pee Dee, where last year was q
short crop. So, this year, you see
will be just about half of last.

did not know what | am talking
about.
You will see prices this year high
er than you have ever seen Soutf

all, especially those that live in
Kingstree, to get the benefit of the
high prices. l am not advising you
from a personal motive, but fol
your own benefit.
will be in position this year to
handle and buy more tobacco than
have ever bought before, and com.
petition will be strong. Wishing
you, one and all, a prosperous New

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
MEETS next TUESDAY
INAUGURATION DAY A WEEh
LATER-FORECAST or SOMI
IMPORTANT MEASURES.

Columbia, January 2::-yery little
has been said or written about what
the General Assembly may do at the
approaching session. The Legls'a-
ture ccnvenes on.Tuesday. January
10 for at least a 40 day session.
That which has attracted most at
tention thus far is the selection OF
Associate Justice of the supreme
court. There are now four Justices
as follows: Chief Justice Ira b
Jones. of Lancaster; Justice Eugene
B Gary, of Abbeville; c A Woods, OF
Marion, and D E Hydrick. of Spar
tanbyre. Mr. Jones was elected
Chief Justice after the retirement
of Chief Justice Y Pope. Justice
Hydrick was the Justice elected for
the fourth position, following the
elevation of Justice Jones to the
Chief Justiceship.
Among those who have been men
toned for the new position created
by an amendment of the Conshtu-
ton are:
r Withers Memminger, of
Charleston, Circuit Judge of the 9th
circuit; Thomas B Fraser, of Sum-
ter, Chairman of the Judiciary COM
mittee of the House and member OF
that body for sixteen years; NJ l.
Bonham, of Anderson; Ex-Governor
John c Sheppard of Edgefeld. and
WB Gruber, of Walterboro.
Judge R C Watts will also be a
candidate for the Associate Justice
ship. This announcement was made
today by w H Stevenson. of Cheraw.
He said that the friends of Judge
Watts would press the campaign in
the General Assembly.
The press of the State has been
practically unanimous in the opinion
that a fifth Justice was needed on
account of the great amount of
work the supreme court has to do,
and also because of the fact, that
with five Justices there would not be
a divided opinion with two on one
side and two on the other of aques-
ton. Other reasons have been ad-
yanced. The constitutional amend
ment passed at the general election
in November and at the session of
the General Assembly the new Just
ice will be elected.
There is interest also in the selec-
ton If Judge OF the lst circuit to
succeed the late Judge Charles G
Dantzler, of Orangeburg. Several
prominent attorneys have been men,
toned for this place. The election
will not hold the interest that the
election for the Justiceship will, but
there will be considerable rivalry in
this matter also. 1t was necessary
for Governor Ansel a few days ago
to select a Judge the Hon William
TAycock, of this city-to hold Court
here in January on account of the
death of Judge Dantzler.
Of most popular interest at the
coming session of the Assembly is
the beginning of the new admins
tration unGer the Governorship of
Cole L Blease, of Newberry. Mr.
ase will be inaugurated on JAM

well is to administer the oath.
A new Lieutenant Governor and
presiding officer of the Senate will
take office also. Charles A Smith,
of Timmonsville. is the new Lieu
tenant Governor, who succeeds
Thomas G Mcleod, of Bishopville,
who so we'll presided over the Sen
ate for four years.
In the House the selection OF
former Speaker Mendel Smith, of
Camden, seems practically certain.
Mr. Smith succeeds the Hon Richard
S Whaley. of Charleston, who held
the Speakership of the House for
four years.
In the Senate and House there
will be elections for various posi-
tions in the two bodies that will at
tract some interest. There will
hardly be any changes of conse-
quence.
Mr. James A Hoyt, of Columbian lis
clerk of the House. He will be op-
posed this year by Wilson Gibbes,
of this city, who was assistent clerk
of the House. There will probably
/ be races in one or two other House
positions. In the Senate M M
Mann, of St Matthews, is the clerk,
and the assistant clerk is A MLump-
kin, of Columbia. No opposition
has been mentioned so far to these.
Another appointment is the secre-
tary to the Lieutenant Goveraor.
To outline Legislative programme
for the 1911 session would be diff
cult, irlasmuch as there is not one
big topic facing the people of the
State at this time. For fifteen or
more years whiskey held the atten-
ton of Legislatures, but now that
question is in the background.
From saloons to prohibition in all
save six counties, South Carolina
has run the round of the liquor
problem.
A Drainage Act has been pre-
pared and will be submitted to the
General Assembly for passage. In
the draft Of this bill the following
is the reason given: In response to
resolution of the State Farmers
Union requesting the State depart
ment of agriculture to carefully in
vestigate and examine drainage
laws and draft a proper measure"
The proposed drainage law is:
"A bill to promote the public
health, convenience and welfare
by leveeing, ditching and draining
the wet swamp and overfowed
lands of the State, providing for
the establishment of levee or drain
age districts for the purpose Of en-
larging or changing any natural
water courses and for the digging
of ditching or canals for securing
better drainage or providing better
outlets for drainage for building
levees or embankments and install
ing tide gates or pumping plants
for the reclamation of overfiowed
lands and prescribing method for
so doing. and providing for the as
sessment and collection of the cost
and expense of the same and issuing
and selling bonds therefor and for
the care and maintenance of such
improvements when constructed
Before any drainage is undertaken
the following would be inquired
into:
|. Whether the proposed drain
age is practicable or not.
