SOME NEW LAYS OF INTEREST.
Representative Harris Gives Resume
of those Most Important.

Westminster, r. +. D., March o.
Editor keowee Courier: For the in
formation Of your readers l. will en-
deavor to give a few Of the most i'm
portant acts which were passed at
the recent session Of the General
Assembly, and especially those which
may moro directly affect or county.
The tctA number or acts passed
ami ratified was 29G, the great ma.
lority of which were Of q purely To-
cal nature. ..-..... 1, /,
Our general tax levy remains tho
same as last year. a
An act to create and operate q
State warehouse system for storing
cotton and other commodities, in
which our farmers and many others
are interested, was passed
An act making 1t misdemeanor
to originate, utter or circulate, or to
publish, certain slanderous and libel
lous matter.
An act to fix the term Of Office Of
County TreaSurers provides that the
terms OF the present incumbents in
that Office shall expire July 1st, 1913
instead OF Jar larry 1st. Their sue
cessors TO take charge July st and
serve two years from that date. This
would seem to be a desirable change,
as IL Will give the outgoing official
chance to complete his work, make
his settlement and turn over the
books to his successor with a clean
sheet.
An act to regulate the term Of Of
tce OF County Superintendents Of
education provides that their terms
shall expire at the same date as the
Treasurers, which also seems to be a
very desirable change.
An act to provide for consolidated
and graded schools in country dis
tricts, and to appropriate $4,000 to
encourage the same. We advise all
to take advantage Of this act as early
as possible, as the first applying will
be the first considered. This will
helD such rural schools as cannot
comply with the rural high school
tions placed around it by tho State
Board OF Education.
An act to distribute among the
several counties the balance of the
State dispensary fund. This will aid
the common SCHOOLS greatly.
An act to provide for rural police
men for Oconee county. This act pro-
vidcs that there be appointed by the
Governor two or more able-bOdied
men, as may be deemed necessary,
upon the recommendation Of the leg
islative delegation, whose duty it
shall hc to prosecute viclators Of the
criminal laws of the State, and espe-
cially in the rural districts, working
under the general direction of the
Sheriff and reporting to him in writ,
Ing, once a week, or oftencr If re-
quired, all their official acts.
An act to require county officers to
secure official bond in surety compa-
MES was passed.

COME!
j. ARCHIE WILLIS LOST OUT.
The Plaintiffs in Suit Were Given
Judgment Against Him.

Greenville, March 7.-Judgment
against J. Archie Willis, member Of
the House of Representatives from
Laurens county, in the sum of
$544.SS, Is the gist of the findings of
Master in Equity J. w. Gray, to
whose court was referred the case of
John w. Bridges and E, w, Dedmond
Us j. a. willis, G K.HWiIis, wv. X.
Stringer, Leon l.. Rice and " g.
Gcer, as set forth in his report to the
Court Of Common Pleas, fled yestCr-
day morning with the Clerk Of Court.
This Is the final "wind up of the
charges preferred against J. Archie
Willis, as manager and stockholder
of the Dedmond Remedy Company, a
concern organized at Belton some
time ago for the manufacture and
marketing Of an alleged cure for pei
lagra. 1t will be remembered that
charges OF mismanagement of the af-
fairs Of the concern were brought
against Mr.. Willis last December, and
an order was issued by Special Judge
Shuman requiring him to show cause
in the Court Of Common Pleas, on
December 9th, why an Injunction
should not issue from the court re-
straining him from entering the office
or the concern, handling any Of the
books or records; why receiver for
the Dedmond Remedy Company
should not be appointed, etc.
The defendant responded to the
order, and the case was referred to
the Court Of the Master in Equity.
An episode following the bringing
OF the charges against Mr.. Willis
will be recalled by Greenville people.
After the receiver had been appoint
ed, and one morning about O'Clock
when auditors had completed an ex-
animation Of the books or the con-
Germ, Mr.. Willis called a representa-
tive Of the Greenville News to the
room where the books had been au-
dited and handed him an affidavit
signed by John w. Bridges and avow~
ing that the charges brought against
Mr.. Willis were grOundless. Several
days after this aflldavit was publish
ed Mr.. Bridges issued a statement de-
claring that the affidavit was forced
from him by Mr.. Willis at the "point
OF gum
Mr.. Willis is said to be in Key
west, Fla, at present, having gone
there to engage in newspaper work.
Hc served in the recent session Of the
Legislature a portion Of tho time that
nody was in session.

ping Is worthless. The inner bark
appears blood-red, and If 1t Is split or
injured the tree dies.
After eight or ten years more the
outer bark has again grown, and then
the tree Is stripped four feet from
the roots. This stripping is very
coarse, and Is used to make floats for
fishing nets. Every ten years there
after the bark Is stripped, each year
