CAUSTIC REPARTEE.
Governor and Newspaper Man
Have Short Conversation.

Today's (Friday's) hearing in the
State Insane Asylum investigation
was marked by short colloquy be-
tween Governor BleaSe and Joseph
Sparks,a a we'll known newspaper man
who has been reporting the meet
ings of the committee. The Govern
or read extracts from the record of
the committees sessions, which, he
said, sustained his position in the en-
tire matter, and stated that unless
this would be in the printed report
of the committee he wished to send
it in special message to the Legls-
lature, as he knew the newspapers
would not print it.
Mr. Sparks arose and stated that II
the committee would furnish him
with copy of the minutes in ques-
ton he would gladly publish the Vi
tai parts. Governor Blease said:
yes, and the vital parts will all be
against Dlease, to which MIR Sparks
replied: THE Governor may point

A New Back for an Old One. How
II Can be Done In KinQStfee.

The back aches at times with a
dull ,indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the regions of the kid
neys, and again the loins are so lame
that to stoop is agony. No use to
rub or apply plaster to the back if
the kidneys are weak. You cannot
reach the cause. Kingstree residents
would do we'll to profit by the fol-
lowing example.
Mrs Jasper Martin, 3 Wood St,
Georgetown, sc, says: My back
was so weak and lame that l could
hardly get around to do my house
work and / suffered all the time
from backache and pains across my
kidneys. / had little strength or
energy and the kidney secretions
were unnatural. Hearing about
Doan's Kidney Pills, l got a supply
and they cured me. l have had no
need of a kidney medicine since.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Matters Gf General and Local
Interest Briefly Mentioned.

Columbia, February 16:-Special:
The House during the past week
has passed and sent to the Senate
two bills which have as their object
the abolition of all houses of i'll
fame within the borders of the
State. Action on the part of the
Senate and the Governor is being
eagerly awaited, both by propon-
ents and opponents of the two bills,
but the impression is rather general
that both of the measures will sue
cessfully pass muster before the up
per branch and the Chief Executive.
One of the bills is by Mr. Sanders
of York and proposes to apply the
injunction process in remedying the
social evil, which is much shorter
and more direct than the legal
method by which houses of prosti-
tuition may be closed up. If passed
this will go into effect July l, 1914,
The other bill was recommended
by the Judiciary committee and is
ins effect the application of the
Mann White Slave act to this State,
making it a felony for anyone to
transport from one town within the
State to another or to harbor any
woman or girl for immoral purposes.
The Sanders bill was passed on sec
ond reading by a vote of 6S to IS,
and the committee bill received the
total vote of 81 cast. Messrs Smiley,
Kellahan and Kirk voted throughout
in favor of the bills and Mr. Kirk
made stirring speech in favor of
the Sanders bill.
Mr. Smiley has bill on the calen-
dar to require persons who hold hot
suppers or festivals for profit to
secure license. The bill may be
reached this week. Such legislation
was urged by the recently formed
State Sheriffs' association which
met in this city. They pointed out
that much of the disorderly con-
duct in the country was due to the
influence of these hot suppers and
that license would have the effect
of cutting out a number of such
entertainments,
A bill has been introduced by Mr.
Kirk, and is now on the calendar for
its second reading. which would reg
ulate the practice of veterinary
surgery in this State by providing a
State board of examiners. Mr. Kirk
also has joint resolution directing
the Comptroller-G General to draw his
warrant for S2.31S in favor of M F
Heller.
On the calendar of the Senate
there is bill by the Williamsburg
delegation submitting the question
of the repeal of the exemption of
certain sections of the county from
the operations of the the general
stock law to a special election to be
held in the territory affected.
Senator Epps has bill, Fixing a
schedule of licenses and rules and
regulations for the catching and
shipping of sturgeon and for non
residents fishing for said sturgeon"

Numerical Growth of Churches

According to statistics recently
compiled for the Federal Council of
Churches, the year 1913 was one of
steady advancement in membership
for the Christian churches in the
United States. The net gain in en-.
rollment for the year was $4,000,
or about two per cent. The Metho-
dists were the most successful in
gaining new members, showing a
net increase of 100000. or more
than one-third of the entire increase.
The Catholics were a close second
with an increase of 2l2,000. Then
come in order the Baptists, with a
gain of $4,000, the Presbyterians,
45,60O, the Lutherans, 36,l00, the
Disciples, 21,SOO and the Episco-
palians. 16,500.

These figures are encouraging.
They show that the churches are
not losing ground relative to the
growth of population. In spite of
the wholesale charges of ungodli-
ness so constantly repeated, it re-

teal circles and the favorable recep.
ton 1t has found is taken to indicate
that there is considerable sentiment
among the taxpayers of both the city
and the county for the obliteration of
party lines in the handling of county
affairs and the placing of them on
strictly non-partisan, business
basis.
As far as state and national poll
tics are concerned, the striking fact
noted was the large number of can
didates who have filed for the COM
gressional nominations in the various
district. In another way, the fling
of three of the present supreme court
judges-Chief Justice Herman d.

and the announcement they intended
to conduct their campaign by remain
ing at their work on the bench, was

"SAVING" FROM THREE POINTS OF VIEW.

or perhaps the thought that she IS making
an appreeiable saving every week, as she
shows IN the estimate she has drawn up,
sustains and encourages her In any
event, she is as ardent an advocate OF her
own methods OF economy as either OF the
other two.
As a matter OF course. It IL impossible
to draw from these letters conclusion
which will apply to every housekeeper. and
my reason for printing them has bsen not
only because l found them interestdns-
stimulating, and helpful in the suggestions
they contain but also because hope they
may call forth from other housekeepeFs
communications along the same line. There
are few greater blunders than that Of be-
heving any one person can lay down oode
OF rules by which every housekesper can
prun her house. As long as women possess
originality they will adjust themselves to
circumstances and try to bring conditions
about to suit their way OF thinking.
One of the mistakes of making law or
conduct is found in the forgetfulness tho
lawmaker usually shows of the Individual
case. For example. suppose that the writer
of the second letter felt that her success an
housexeeper and her achievements as an
economist consisted In her following ths
example of the woman who does her own
laundry work, or imagine that this woman
became persuaded that the best way TO
save money was for her to do her own
sewing and put out the washing and iron
ing. Neither would win out with any salts
faction; both would feel they were missing
the best ways of doing their work.
To me a lesson taught by all three letters
is the necessity for the housekeeper TO
keep an open mind. Don't be bound by any
rule of other women IL you feel you can do
better by making change. Ii, for instance,
you wish TO have your washings done ON
Saturday instead of on Monday and care
full thought brings you to the conclusion
Nthis is the wisest course to pursue, don't be
alarmed by any of the regulations laid
down by other workers along your line. Be
sure YOU are rght-be very sure-and then
so ahead.
The fact that the woman on the next block
or across the street follows another plan
has nothing to do with YOU. Even the recol-
lection that your mother and your grand
mother before you did their washing on
Monday, their ironing on Tuesday, their
baking on Wednesday and Saturday. and
their sweeping on Friday, need have no
weight with you IL you are convinced a
change of conditions and surroupdings rem
ders a different plan better fotyou.
1t is one thing to adopt an innovation
merely from restlessness and a desire for
change, quite another to take 1t up In the
hope IT may he an Improvement. Have
you altered old methods? II SO, let us
know what they are
