MARRIED-Tuesday, February

MARRIED ED-Tuesday February g,
at 8 o'clock p. m, at the home OF
the brother of the bride, Mr. A B
Cothran, Miss Sallie Parks Cothran
of Timberlake, N g. and MIR Robert
Edward McElveen of Cades. The
marriage was a quiet affair, only a
few intimate friends Of the con-
tracing parties being present.
The bride was beautifully attired
in white, and the lict!e flower girls,
Misses Addie and Ruth Eaddy, were
also dressed in white. The very i'm
pressive ceremony was performed
by Rev Mr. Mullinix of Cades.
Many beautiful presents were
given the handsome couple. After
receiving the hearty congratulations
of those present, the happy pair left
for the home of the groom.

There are some time-saving kinks"
about preparing vegetables. We all
boil beets with skins uncut to keep
the juice in. Now put potatoes also
with the skins on in the same kettle,
and the two vegetables cook nicely
together; only beets must go in first
and boil much longer. They viii
not discolor the potatoes.

THE SNOW AT BENSON.
Dogs Suffer Distemper---Farm
Work Backward--.Personal.

Benson, FeDruary lo: ne SHOW
began to fall about 2 o'clock p m
Saturday and with the exception Of
an interval of a short time with
sleet, it continued nearly all night.
Sunday morning it measured depth
of about IL inches. The day fol.
lowing the snow was most lovely,
clear, calm, crisp, bright and beauti-
full. We wonder who had a plenty
of nice oak wood and fat lightwood.
1t happens that occasions like these
often catch even country people
without fire wood, when maybe all
they have to do is to cut it and haul
to the woodward.
Two heavy SHOWS so close together
in one year are rather notable. A
good snow-is>said to-be an indication
of a good crop year and perhaps
two would make it assuredly so.
The question may arise, do we
need an extra good crop year? We
say yes; but we certainly do not
want to make fifteen million bales
of cotton this season. Then the
sure remedy is to plant less.
The owners of CANNES in this
neighborhood are experiencing some
trouble in keeping their dogs alive.
Distemper has taken them and only
by the use of tar on their noses and
careful attention is the malady
checked. Several have died here
recently.
Farmers are very backward with
their work.
Mr. Rob Snowden has returned to
resume his work with the N. Y. P.
& N. railroad, his headquarters being
at Delmar, Delaware. Mr. Hugh lis
dale, of this place, went with him by
way of Richmond and Norfolk, Va.
Mr. Tisdale will go from there to
Washington and other points North.
1t is all for pleasure and he only
lacks having his bride with him.
Mrs ] B Chandler has been quite
sick for some time, but she is re-
ported better.
Mr. C Ed Grayson is still on the
sick list. We hope for him speedy
recovery.
Miss Lottie McCroy is visiting rel
atives in the neighborhood.
Messrs R w and Hugh McCutchen
and Thomas Chandler. of this section,
went to Charleston last week.
Mr. WI Tisdaln took flying trip
to the City by the Sea" last week.

WHAT The LEGISLATURE
HAS DONE RECENTLY.
MANY MATTERS DISPOSED Of
MORE EPENDNG--sOMELoCAL
MEASURES.

Oh
The 1912 session of the South Caro-
lima Legislature is nearing close
and this week will likely see an END
of it. There are many matters OF
importance to be disposed OF by the
two Houses before adjournment, but
the general belief is that Saturday
night or Sunday morning will see
the final recession from business.
One of the most important mat
tiers before the House for the re-
manning week is the Supply BILL and
the matters of Importance before
the Senate are the Appropriation
and Supply bills. The Supply bill
has been introduced in the House
and the Appropriation bill, it was
announced earlier in the week, would
be introduced in the Senate not ear
lier than Wednesday.
Possibly the measure of greatest
importance before the Legislators
this session was the bill to make it
illegal to make books, sell pools or
in other ways gamble on horse-rac-
ing or other sports, politics or games
of chance. The bill has been fought
and advocated, has been debated and
devked, and not until this week was
! any definite action taken uponlt.
The churches of many of the lead
ing denominations of the State DUR
ing the past year memorialized the
Legislature to legislate against the
race track in Charleston, and the
outcome of such legislation has been
watched with the keenest interest.
On Monday of this week the Senate,
by vote of 33 to 2, killed the sec
ond section of the bill, that known
as the injunction feature. Debate
was then postponed, at the time an
amendment being on the Speakers
desk to provide that no injunction
proceedings could be had until a
person had been held to bail or IN
; dicted by grand jury. 1t appeared
from past votes and statements OF
many Senator'S that the majority
favored the bill with the injunction
feature left out, but no amendments
added.
The Appropriation bill was passed
by the House last week and many OF
the items were hard fought. The
appropriation,,for the University OF
South Carolina auditorium was fixed
at $50, 900, this to be paid in two in
stallnsnts, half this year and half
--next wear. The salary of the chief
clerk in the office of the Commls-
sioner of Agriculture was at hrst
set at s1,4OO. This was,after hght'
.rJauced considerably, but, on recon-
liberation, was put again at at the
400 figure. The appropriation
for the South Carolina Agricultural
and Mechanical society was left the
same as last year, $4,000.
WILLIAMSBURG BILL.
A bill is now pending in the Leg
islature to to allow the Trustees OF
Lake City school district to issue
bonds for school improvements. Inc
bill was introduced in the House by
: Mr. Aver.
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1912-02-15

During the past week three bills
passed both Houses with amend
ments in the last House and the
amendments were not concurred IN
by the last House and so had to be
sent to free conference committee.
The bill to create State warehouse
system for the storing of cotton, the
bill that carries the quarter-million
dollar appropriation, is one of the
bills that is with free conference. 1t
passed the Senate week before last
and the House last week, the House
vote being " to 29. The Senate
would not concur in slight amend
ments offered by the House and the
bill was sent to free conference.
The bill providing medical examina-
tions Of students in public schools
and colleges of the State was passed
by both Houses but the House
would not concur in certain amend
ments. the principal one making the
examinations optional upon students,
and it likewise went to free confer
ence. Another amendment to this
bill that received objection was that
allowing the substitution of the
family physician for the school ply
sician in performing the examina-
ton. The Dill to provide electrocu-
ton of criminals instead of hanging
was also sent to free conference.
The House would not accept the
substitute bill offered by the Senate,
the two bills differing in only few
particulars.
A bill was passed by the House
the latter part of last week to pro-
vide for bettering of conditions at
the State penltentiary. 1t calls for
the tearing town of the old brick
building within the walls of the pen
itentiary, the erection of a woman's
building, the supply ing of books and
magazines for the inmates and the
abolition of corporal punishment ex-
cept in cases of INSTRUMENTATION.
A bill is pending in the Senate
that has caused much comment in
the State. 1t is that to take the ap-
pointment of the Commissioner OF
Agriculture, Commerce and Indus
tries from the Governor and make
the Office elective by the General
Assembly. The bill was killed on
third reading by the Senate last
week, but little later this vote was
reconsidered and the bill restored to
its place on the calendar. 1t is ex-
pected that warm debate will see
the disposition of the bill. 1t will be
remembered shat the Governor has
threatened to discharge the present
Commissioner, Col E j Watson, and
it is expected that if he does SO, he
will appoint to the job a member OF
his staff probably Col Leon M Green,
who held the office of factory In
spector last summer. If the pending
measure passes, the office will have
to be filled by the Legislature. 1t
is believed by many that the Legis,
lature is not favorable to Col Wat
son, so that if the bill passes there
will be campaign as to the next
Commissioner. There is possibility
that the bill will not pass both
Houses this term, the end being SC
near.
DIsPENsARY ELECTIONS.
Last week an important bill pass
cd the Senate. 1t is Senator Llde's
bill to allow any county to vote on
the dispensary question. The bill
was first introduced to apply to Or
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1912-02-15

angeburg county only, and to allow
that county to vote on the question
this year. The bill was so amended
that it allows any county to vote on
the question on the second Tuesday
in February, 1918, provided that a
petition, praying for the election and
bearing the names of at least one
fourth of the voters of the county,
shall be presented to the county
Supervisor not later hanDecember
previous to the election day. The
bill allows all COUNTIES that may, un-
der existing statutes, vote on the
question this year to be exempted
from its provisions.
A bill passed the House last week
to appropriate one million dollars
for the State Hospital for the In
sane. The appropriation is to be di-
vided into five annual payments of
$500, 900 each.
Mr. Jno M Daniels bill to regulate
the changing of text books for the
public schools of the State was pass
ediby the House last week. The bill
provides that changes shall only be
made when approved by majority
of the county uperintendents of
the State.
During last weeks legislative ses-
sion Governor Blease sent message
to the General Assembly in which he
told of the pardons, paroles and COM
mutations he had issued during his
term as Governor. In this he gave
list of persons receiving executive
/ clemency and an account of the Of
fense, the trial and the release Of
each. The Executive has pardoned,
paroled and commuted, since he be-
came Governor, in January, 1911.
persons to the number of 317.
At present there is in progress in
the House of Representatives an in
vestigation of the recent claim pre-
sented by the State House and
Grounds committee of the House for
Sl3,5O0 as architects costs for the
making of plans and plaster model
for the new State House. the present
building remodeled and added to.
Last year the Governor sent to the
General Assembly a message recon-
mending certain additions to the
State House. The committee on
State House and Grounds let a con-
tract with Todd & Benson, archi-
tects of Charleston, for the making
of plans for the new State House.
The new building was to cost $780,
900. The plans were made and a
plaster cast of the new building
erected in the lobby of the State
! house. The committee put in a claim
of S13,500 for architects costs, 5000
for the plaster model and s12,0 900
for the drawings, the remainder be-
ing for other expenses connected
with the work.
The claim was disallowed by the
House and a committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the matter.
This committee was authorized to
summon witnesses and proceed
much in the way a masters or coro-
ner's court would in the securing Of
testimony. Several hearings have
been heard and a number of wit
nesses sworn. The investigating
committee will likely report to the
House near the end of the week.

AN EPOCH MARKED

This week, with the shipment OF
three huge blocks of rough marble
to New York, an epoch is marked
in the affairs of the Colorado Yule
company. This is the first marble
in the rough ever shipped 70 the
market from here. 1t is the begin
ing of regular business of rough
marble shipments.
The blocks shipped to New York
were three in number and the aggre-
gate weight amounted to so, 600
pounds, OF forty ton.
The character of the blocks, The
Booster predicts, will make n scnsa-
ton among marble men when the
shipment arrives in New YORK.
The marble is thef;lmous statuary
golden vein, the marble that has
made the Colorado-Yule company
and which cannot be duplicated in
the world. The huge pieces were
taken out in absolutely perfect
form and cut square with the wire
saw. They presented n sight for
sore eyes as they lay on the cars
ready for shipment, looking for
all the world like huge loafs of
crystal white sugar.-The Marble
