merely talking about It, the various
groups of farmers, business men,

BOATS GROW on TREES.
West Indian Boys Can Get All Of Then
I They Want.

When a West Indian boy wants a
toy boat all he has to do is to visit q
cocoanut tree. These trees bear great
punches of nuts among their dropping
green leaves, and when the bunch
first sprouts out In the form Of a big
bud It is Enclosed within a hard.
tough. woody case or spathe two OF
three feet long, eight or ten inches
in diameter and tapering to q point at
one end and to a slender stern at the
other. In fact, it looks very much
like a huge wooden cigar. s.
As the buds and flowers develop the
spathe splits open, and the flower
bunch continues to grow out beyond II
until the nuts begins to ripen. By this
time the spathes have become dry and
hard and break OF and drop to the
ground Of their own accord.
1T is the spathes or bud coverings
that the West Indian boys use for toy
boats, and. white ths~Ilry and fallen

flower stem. %tH.
The spathe as gathered from the tree
is almost in the shape of a boat, and
all that is necessary to transform it to
a very seaworthy and fast sailing toy
canoe is to sew the open end together
and 1T rudde-. sail and seats OF

When this is done the boat is almost
an exact model Of the big dugout ca

WHAT'S DOING IN
THE LEGISLATURE,
lAs REPORTED BY OUR CORES
PoNDENT---A RESUME OF
WORK TO DATE.

Columbia, January 19:-(SpeciaD:
The General Assembly in its first
week set what was probably a new
record for getting down to work.
The prelininaries incident to the
kfrst days meeting were quickly dis
posed of and then came the reading
of the annual message from Gov
ernor Blease. This message was
lengthy and dealt with a variety OF
subjects and was largely reitera-
ton of the we'll known policies OF
the Governor. He devoted consid-
cradle space to review of the last
primary'election and gave the Legis.
lature notice that he would veto any
bill dealing with the primary.
The food of new bills commenced
on Wednesday and continues un
abated. On Thursday the two House:
in Joint session reelected Chief Jus
tice Eugene B Gary of the supreme
court, and elected Circuit Judge
George W Gage of Chester to sue
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1914-01-22

and will undoubtedly get through
and be sent to the House. The
House has passed concurrent reso-
luton memorializing the Congress
of the United States to repeal the
Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal
constitution which bestows the right
of suffrage on the negroes. The
Senate sent the resolution to the
Judiciary committee to redraft and
report back.
The Warehouse bill is a special
order in the Senate Wednesday
Immediately following third reading
bills. Senator John L McLaurin,
who is in charge of the measure, will
push the bill through, if possible. He
is expected to make the opening
speech in its favor on Wednesday.
Representative Kirk, of the Will
liamsburg delegation, has introduced
in the House a bill providing for the
transferring of a part of Clarendon
county to Williamsburg. A bill re-
imbursing M F Heller for glander-
ed stock which were killed has also
been offered on the House side.
Representative Kellahan was not
in his seat, on account of illness.
Senator Epps was in his seat on
the opening day. He went home
Friday to spend the weekend.
Politics has not played any part
in the session so far. The first week
was marked by the absence of any
partisan politics, but while the great
majority of the members are de-
sirous of harmony, many fear that
when the attempt to get through
legislation safeguarding the primary
election is called up the fight will
start. The Governor has notified
the General Assembly that he will
veto any bills which are passed
