request and recommendation of the
county delegation. Mr. Graham is
enthused over the possibilities of
such a system in Williamsburg and
believes that it would become self
sustaining, if tried.
Senator Lide's bill providing for
an election on the question of re-
establishing a dispensary in Orange
burg was amended so as to include
all the counties in the State and the
time for the election was fixed for
the End Tuesday in February, 1913.
In this shape the bill was sent to
the House, where it was further
amended and is now in the hands OF
a free conference committee. The
bone of contention seems to be
agreeing on a date upon which to
hold the election. This matter will
be disposed of when the Assembly
reconvenes on Wednesday.
There is general disposition on
the part Of the majority of the
the members to recede from busi-
ness without adjourning s'ne de,
as is the custom. The Code has not
yet been adopted and this is used as
an argument in favor of the recess
idea. There are others who be-
lieve that for various reasons the
General Assembly should not ad-
journ. 1t is probable that recess
will be taken unless the sentiment
changes after disposing of the
present unfinished work of the

A Big Fertilizer Dealer Recently Said:

"Oh. yes, there is no doubt but
that Farmogerm is good thing to
produce nitrates, but you are just
about twenty years ahead of the
tines"
Now we admit that as long as cot
ton brought 16c a pound it might
pay to make heavy applications OF
ammoniated fertilizer to grow it.
At SOC pound we might even grow
it profitably in flower pots. But low
cotton prices and high cost fertiliz-
ers make a poor team to pull stumps
with.
Instead of figuring how to pay
last years fertilizer bill with next
years loss off cotton. why not grow
legume crops that will be of less in
terest to Wall street and more in
terest to your mules and hogs, and
at the same time grow your own nj
trates by inoculating the seeds with
Farmogerm (High-Bred BACTERIAL?

If half the cotton that is piled up in
sheds in the South could be turned
into bales of hay, we might be buy
ing automobiles instead of borrow
ing money to pay interest on debts.
Then Wall street would have to
come and see US" on the cotton
proposition.
AS long as Cotton is King, Wah
street will be Minister of Finance
Why not throw off the yoke and es-
tablish a republic?-put Corn, Oats
and Legume crops in, with Thomas
Phosphate and Farmogerm as Sec
retary of the Treasury and Agricu-
ture, and Cow Pea Hay for the De-
partment of the Interior (of your
mules)?
When we have done this we can
safely control Old King Cotton and
send him to England to buy our luz

SHORT SESSION
ASSIzES court.
umGE,S CHARGE TO GRAND JU-
RY---ONLY A FEW CASES
TRIED.

TRIED.
The court of general sessions con-
yened Monday morning at 1890
o' clock, Judge Hayne F Rice, OF the
Second Judicial circuit, presiding.
Solicitor Stoll and Stenographer
Wood were on hand at the opening
hour and His Honor proceeded to
deliver his charge to the grand jury
which had organized with Mr. Jno
M Brown as foreman.
The Judges charge was along the
usual stereotyped lines, touching a
number and variety of subjects, up
on which, in each instance. he gave
the grand jury excellent and timely
counsel.
First he emphasiz ed the oath TAX
en- by each>grand juror, the solemn
;ty of which some may fail to real
, ize or appreciate. His observation
i was that the average member of the
grand jury takes too lightly his posi-
ton and the many responsible mat
tiers he should feel obligated to look
after. The people of Williamsburg
county look to you to see to their
interests in the matter of observance
of law. He then enumerated the
duties of the grand juror, whose
duties, he reminded them, do not
cease with the adjournment of the
couAt. The grand jury, as body,
is ne inquisition for the county and
it is the duty of the court to aid it IN
, every way possible.
Next he called attention to the
county government-thecourt house,
Jail and chaingang, emphasizing the
:. importance of their proper SANTA
ton. The court house is often a
!. source of infection on account of
bacilli disseminated by expectoration.
The Jail should be kept clean and
the prisoners, whether in Jail or
chaingang, properly nourished with
bodily comforts.
Education he particularly stressed.
Judge Rice was until recently a
member of the State Board of edu-
cation and is earnestly desirous of
aiding the cause of education, especi-
ally in rural communities.
Concluding his charge Judge Rice
referred to the Importance of en-
forcing the concealed weapon law
and the illicit traffic in whiskey,
pointing out in each case the evils
; attendant upon the lax enforcement
of these two laws. He then took
up the several bills of indictment
and explained the law bearing upon
each case bef ore the grand jury.
The following cases were disposed
of. The Court of Assizes adjourn
ed, sine die, at 6 p. M, Tuesday.
The State VS. Sam Scott, violation
of 9tohibition law. Plead guilty.
Sentence 500 or six months. No
attorney.
The State VS. Elihu Johnson, vio-
lation of prohibition law. Plead
guilty. Sentence 500 or six months

ASSEMBLY ADJOURNED
TO RECOkYENE.
MET AGAIN YESTERDAY---NOT
MUCH BUSINESS PENDING---
SOME LOCAL MATTERS.


SOME LOCAL MATTERS.
Columbia, January 20: - When
the General Assembly adjourned last
Saturday night to meet again on
Wednesday, it had practically COM
pleted its Legislative work for this
session. Under ordinary conditions
it should not take more than a few
hours, after reconvening, to dispose
of all unfinished work. 1t is not
probable that there will be such a
warm fight over the Appropriation
bill az was witnessed during the
closing hours of the last session. for
the reason that under last years
bill provisions were made for the
State colleges which allowed them
annua! appropriations for three con-
secutive years. This plan ana
method was vigorously opposed at
the last session, but it was carried
by one vote, thus fixing a three
year policy, which could not now be
changed. Winthrop College has
asked for some additional improve
ments and the State University has
asked for S65,O0O. The latter re-
quest was however cut to $4,000,
which amount in all probability
will be granted.
The Appropriation bill as it went
to the free conference committee
provides levy of 5 ga mills, which
is exactly the same as last year.
The Supply bill fixes the same rate
also for Williamsburg county as was
paid last year, 3 IA mills, therefore.
so far as our people are concerned,
taxes will remain at the present
levy for another year.
Perhaps the most important local
legislation which has been enacted
is the new road law. Under this
law the County Commissioner, his
board and the Road Engineer, are
provided ways and means by which
the roads and bridges of the county
can be worked by such methods as
conditions warrant, based upon
economic principles. Under the
present law and with good weather
we shall expect our Engineer to
demonstrate to the public what he
is capable of doing in the way of
road and bridge construction.
Next to the road law is the act
prohibiting the traffic in seed cotton
between the dates of August and
December Is. After December Is
licenses may be procured just as is
the present custom. This act was
amended before it was passed so as
to include Georgetown county also.
Florence county fixes license of
$500 annually which is practically
prohibitive and now, under these
conditions, it is hoped that the labor
question will be to some extent bet
tered.
An important bill providing for
rural policeman for Williamsburg
county, introduced by Mr. Graham,
has also become a law. The rural
police system seems to be one of
great popularity and is working well
in some Of the counties, while here
and there one hears adverse crit
icism as to the system and results.
Mr. Graham's bill is not compulsory,
but provides that the Sheriff may
appoint such policemen upon the

ORIGIN OF CoLoRs
 IN YELLOWSTONE PARK
Due Mainly to Plant Life Says De- partment of Interior Publication.

That the harmonious and brilliant tints in the geysers and hot-spri1ig pools are due mainly to plant life is made in a publication entitled The Geological History of Yellowstone Ma tional Park" just issued by the De- partment of the Interior. They flourish equally well in the waters of all geyser basins and on the terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs. Wherever these boiling waters cool to the temp erature of 1855 degrees algous growths appear, and by the lowering of the temperature on exposure to air still more highly organized forms gradually come in. It is said that of about 40 degrees the conditions are favorable for the rapid growth of several species. The development of plant life at such excessive temperatures and on a scale of such magnitude seems a marvellous thing. Nowhere else can this be seen so well as in the Yellowstone Park.
 AS the water in shallow pools chillS rapidly, corresponding changes in cold follow. No life exists in the center, where the water is boiling. On the outer edge certain colors prevail, and in the cooler overflow channels is still other colors predominate. In a geyser
 
 in an overflow stream consists of creamy white flamentary threads passing into light flesh tints and then
 to deep salmon. With distance from the source of heat, the predominant ing colors pass from bright orange to yellow, yellowish green, and emerald, and in the stil cooler waters various shades of brown.
 The marvellous colors in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone are mainly due to mineral matter, the pigments being derived from the lavaS. Along the base of the canyon thermal and solfataric agencies have been at work through long ages, slowly but steadily decompOsing the rhyOlite rock that forms the walls. Upon the bUttressed walls and sculptured amphitheatres tints of green and yellow are inter- mingled with red, the Colors being blended with singularly harmonious effects. From the roaring turbulent river at the bottom to the somber green forests at the top, the abrupt walls seem aglow with color.
 This publication contains an account of the geologic forces that have caus- ed the wonderful natural features that have made the Yellowstone famous throughout the world It is illustrated by photographs of some of the prin- cipal features of the park and is writ ten in technical language so that it may be readily understood by persons without scientific training

CHAMP ENLIGHTENs THE HOUSE
He Used a Mysterious Latin Phrase
 and Discusses the Classics.

Speaker Champ Clark started the House during the consideration of the conference report on the Sherwood service pension bill saying from the Chair:
 q have it ali unde that President Taft will sign this bill if we get 1t to him today"
 The bill was agreed to and hurried to the White House. Then friends crowded around MT. Clark.

 Yes, it's Latin," announced Mir. Clark. ''1t means outside of the rec ord l learned in a roundabout way that President Taft is going to leave the city this afternoon, and that he was waiting to sign that bill. If he does not four or five hundred aged soldiers might die before he is back"

 Exactly" said the Speaker.
 Then the gathering fell into a dis cussion of Latin quotations, and the Speaker demonstrated that he knew more about Horace Cato and Virgil than all the rest.

Catch Women
 Playing Poker Strong Arm Raiders Also Find Drinks and Much Cigarette
 Smoke in ParlOr

New York, Feb. 16-Lieut Becker and his strong arm squad found four women playing a game which the po- lice say was poker when they raided the parlor floor of the furnished room house at 159 West Forty-sixth street last night. The women say they were Bessie Seymour of the King Edward Hotel, Margie Cohen of 2o7 East Sixth street, Mrs. Dolores Wilson of 622 Second street, Brooklyn and Mrs. AL fred Kelly of 206 West Twenty-fourth street. They were allowed to go.
 Of the men in the room Frank Hart man of 134 West Forty sixth street and Arthur Mcdonald of the King Ed ward Hotel were locked up.
 Becker broke open the door. He had warrants issued by Chler Magistrate McAdoo. The women became slightly hysterical. The room was fitted with two tables. At one of them four men and four women were playing. Small tables held drinks and there was much cigarette smoke. The place is occu- pied by the Gaulois Club, incorporated in 1887.
 From Forty-sixth street the raiders went on to PAP West Forty-ninth street where they visited the flat of Mrs Ida Morrison, also alleged to have a poker game. Mrs. Morrison and John Turn CT of 194 woodland street, Yonkers, were arrested on warrants as common gamblers. Mrs. Morrison also was charged with selling liquor without a license.
