Mrs. Harvey W. Mitchum has
been in Columbia visiting her
husband. If all of the wives
would run up to the capitol city
while the Legislature is in ses
sion it may be helpful to the
solons.
Mrs. E. NJ. Kennedy came up
to keep her eye on her old man
but it was not necessary. as he,
lie myself, can be fully trusted
when away from home.
I had a young lady to ask me
whether or not "Mr. Bob White
was a married man" of course
the inquiry got H. curiosity
aroused and l wanted to know
why, thinking perhaps he was
showing her attentions and that
I might put in a good word for
him, but to my surprise she in
timated that the attentions were
to her mother who has been
married twice but is now a lone
lY widow.
The Sardinia and Turbevilie
sections were well represented
at the capitol this week. Mr..
and Mrs. Dan Turbeville were
amoug the guests at the In
perial, where I am staying.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. McFaddin
were also among the visitors,
and so were Mesdames J. A.
Cole and I. I. Applet of Manning.
Reg DuBose, Bob McFaddin,
D. E. Cousar of Sardinia and
John Epps were among the town
painters Friday night and SatIr-
day.
It is with much qualification
that I am able to report Mr..
John Player who had one of his
legs amputated at the Columbia
Hospital last Tuesday as getting
on nicely. I went on the same
tram with Mrs Player Tuesday
and the operation had just been
completed when she arrived, L
called up the hospital Wednes-
day to ask if I could see him but
they asked me to come some
other day, as it would not be
we'll for him to receive company
then, since then I have been so
busy could not get to see him
but will go Monday. Saturday
1 saw Mrs. Player at the station
and she felt very much encour-
aged about his condition.
The matter of the congression-
al race is still in uncertainty. l
have not yet decided what l
shall do. I realize the people
do not turn out we'll at special
elections, and I am waiting upon
friends in Charleston to advise
me Of the conditions there, l
shall be able to make a positive
statement soon. in the meantime
T am receiving very hatter!ng
letters from all over the district
including Charleston.
My bill relating to forbidding
Magistrates to compromise cases
after warrants have been issued
passed the Senate and is now IN
House, what it's fate will be over
there I do not know. 1t is good
bill and should be made the law.
The. Paxville contingent fee
bill is also in the House and l
have no doubt that it will get
through.
1 have sent a bill to the House
after getting it through the Sen
ate to increase the membership
on the county board of commits
sioners. I understand Mr.. White
does not favor this bill, but l
think when be thinks over it care
full he will see the wisdom Of it.
I have also gotten through the
Senate a bill to increase the
membership on the board of the
Manning school. three trustees
to be appointed by the county
board as now, and two by the
county board to be recommended
by the town council of the town
of Manning. I did this in the
hope that it will prove more sat
isfactory than heretofore. be
cause the appointment of the
trustees by the town gives a more
general representation on the
board of trustees.
The bill which introduced to
allow appeals from the railroad
commission got the axe last Fri
day night while the Senate was
in a butchering mood.
Should the Clifton bill get
through the House, it has al
ready passed the Senate. Claren-
don can have an opportunity to
vote on the dispensary in May.
