OF LEGISLATURE
WHICH CONVENED TUESBAf-.-
SOME POSITIONS TO BE FILLED
...OTHER MATTERS DISCUSSED.

Columbia, January Is (Speclal:-
The South Carolina General Assem-
bly, convened Tuesday at noon for
its annual session. Just how stormy
the 40 days and 40 nights will
prove cannot be forecasted. There
is much. legislation facing the Sen
ate and House of Representatives,
but the launching of war between
the q ,sse and anti-Blease factions
may S@ seen at any moment and
when this happens, if it does, there
will probably be little else done.
ThRswo Houses were called to order
at noon, Lieutenant Governor Chas
A Ss&th of Timmonsville, president
of the Senate, welding the mallet,
while in the House James A Hoyt'
: clerk, declared the body in session.
The Senate speedily organized and
got to work, but the organization OF
the House required more time.
Mendel L Smith of Camden, twice
elected Speaker of the House un-
opposed, must appoint a chairman
of the Ways and Means committee,
as Lowndes ] Browning of Union
did not offer for reelection to the
House from his county. DR. George
Dick of Sumter is ranking member
of this important committee and he
will probably head it. Shortly after
the convenirg of the two Houses the
Governors annual message was
read.
The election of a United States
Senator will probably take place
early in the session. This will be
perfunctory. as Benjamin Ryan Till

Thomas S Sease. Three directors for
the State penitentiary are to be
elected, with a superintendent for
that institution. Judge Sease seems
to be unopposed, Three candidates
are in the field from the First cir
cult: Solicitor P T Hildehrand, Or

Two former Sheriffs oppose Capt D

penitentiary-Hunter OF Bamberg
and - Long of Union.
The Inauguration of Cole L Blease
for his second term as Governor will
take place at noon Tuesday, Janua-
ry 81. The announcement has been
made that Pink Caskey,a magistrate
from Lancaster county, will admins
ter the oath to Blease. The cere-
monies will be held in the hall of
the House of Representatives.
A number of important bills will
be introduced in the opening days OF
the sitting. One of the most inter-
esting, and one that is sure to pro-
woke a fight, is Senator Halls COM
pulsory education bill. The Chero-
kee Scion has said that he will wage
an active and persistent fight for
the proposed measure. The Govern
or has announced that he will veto
any compulsory education bill that
the Legislature may pass.
A liquor measure of some kind
will he proposed. From Charleston
comes a cry for high license. A
member of the Charleston delega-
ton is expected to introduce a bill
providing for a high license law in
Charleston county. 1t is said that an
effort will be made to have the en-
tire State included in the bill. The

Farmers and Merchants Bank
of Lake City Earns rs Per Cent.

Lake City, January 1.-THE an.
nual stockholders meeting of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank was
held in the K of P hall Wednesday
at noon. More than sixty-fve stock
holders were present, representing a
large majority of the stock.
The report of the cashier showed
at the end of the past year deposits
of $3.50, ,O00, with a capital of $50, 900
and surplus and undivided profits Of
over $4,000, nearly rs per cent on
the capital stock being the net earn
ings for the year just closed.
1t was decided to increase the cap
ital to S75, 900 for the present by is
suing new stock to the old subscrib-
ers amounting to 20 per cent of their
present holdings and selling new
stock to the amount of $4,000.
During the past year the bank
paid out dividends on the first of
July and first of January of 4 per
cent each, and and additional 8 1-2
per cent on the first of January.
The following were elected direct
ors: ] C. Young. M D Nesmith, B w

So, again, it is just as important
for the man with a ten-acre crop to
huy his fertilizer to advantage as it
is for the man with hundreds Of
acres. And. if he will study the sub
ject, he can find sight here help to
getting ahead. just as he will have
here hindrance to his progress if
he is guided only by guesswork or
mere force of habit.
So. once more, the man with only
q few acres of land can care for that
land, and feed and fatten it, and
make it profitable to cultivate, Just
as readily as can the man with thou
sands of acres, and he needs to do it
?ust as much.
In short. the way for the poor
farmer to become well-to-do farm
er is for him to be a good farmer.
He can be good farmer, too. He
will not, of course, be able to do ev-
erything just as he wishes, or to fol-
low the very best methods always.
Few people are. He can certainly
nav attention to the essentials OF
good farming and do what he does

LETTERS TO EDITOR
High School Girls Article

1 To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
The theme of a Birmingham High
school girl appearing in the society
columns of The Age-Herald of sun
day, November D on the tuberculosis
camp and the comments of a prominent
citizen published in, today's issue to
my mind should cause thought and con-
sideration on the part of the good peo-
pie of Birmingham looking toward
lending their assistance to a worthy
cause.
1t is a pleasure to note the contri-
buttons of the county anda city and l
hope these may from time to time be
increased and the liberality of our Bir-
mingham citizens. which has never
been questioned, extended to a most
noble cause, IL not by Individual sub
scriptions, that they may indicate their
good will toward the institution by lib
eral purchases of Red Cross stamps
which will be put on sale by the tu-
berculosis camp betN cen now and the
holiday season.
This article has impressed me in q
different way than have had the mat
ter placed before me in the past: If a
child can by her study or visits to the
camp see the necessity for assistance
! should we not give the matter most
careful thought for the purpose of aid
ing those who are unable, on account
of their Affections, to aid themselves?
