enjoy just about the handsomest day
that Charleston has had in many
weeks. Not that Charleston has not

month or so, but this, Washingtons

and Manager FOCUS, passing a de-
lightful hour, before arriving at the

The governor arrived last night un-
accompanied, and was met at the
union station by a local committee of
militia officers, headed by Maj A. H.
Silcox. He was escorted to the St.
John hotel, where he soon retired for
he was up busy with legislative mat
ters throughout the night. In the rush
civ iiu'iy, oh lIeHl III the
appropriation bill was discovered to
have been left out, and the routine of
getting it in proper place meant long
hours of extra work.
Many friends called at the hotel
this morning to shake hands with the
governor, or telephoned their mes
sages of greeting. Gov. Manning was
delighted with the prospects for a
splendid day here. He recalled this
morning the fact that this was his
first official visit.

Anderson, Feb. 22.-Some time dur
ing last night the iron safe in the
freight and passenger depot of the

blown open, the burglar using gun
cotton. The Office was practically
wrecked by the explosion, the ceiling

Noise stated that there had been no
change in the county levy, an increase
of appropriation for tomato club
work, being the only change from
the supply bill Of 1914. The constitu-
tiOnal amendments voted on in the
last general election were confirmed,
so that the people of Sumter might
pave the streets and sidewalks, as pro-
vided in a bill passed at previous
session.
The Sumter county delegation
worked together in entire harmony
the whole time said Mr.. Noise, in
referring to their work. I'm fact there
was no friction in the house through
out the session. Everybody seemed
anxious for concerted action, no par
tasianship was shown and everything
was as pleasant as could have been
expected" Mr.. Noise went on to say
that all was not play in the general
assembly, as some people seemed to
think. The hours of the house were
from 10 a. m, to 2 p. M, with COM
mittee meeting every afternoon from
4 to and sessions every night from
8 until such time as the house saw fit
to adjourn, and some times this was
not until late at night. Mr.. Noise was
on the judiciary committee, one of the
two most important in the house, and
on this he found plenty of work, so
that there was very little time for
idling while he was in Columbia.
Senator r. d. Epps did not think
it was necessary to go over the various
bills which were passed, as they had
already been mentioned sufficiently in
the press OF the State for the public
to be familiar with them, but he did
think that much constructive legisla-
ton had been accomplished at this
session OF the general assembly, more
in fact than at any session in a long
time, as some of the oldest members
had told him. He considered this a
pleasant session, there had been no
factionalism shown anywhere except
on the item of $4,000 for legal advice
to the governor, which was not all
factionalism anyway, for some persons
opposed to the present administration
had voted for the item, while some
friends of the administration bad
voted against it on principle. aTr.
Epps stated that there was plenty Of
precedent for the item and he thought
it should stand. Mr.. .Epps referred
| to the fact that all of the members of
the senate seemed to want to make
the Manning administration a sue
cess, and seemed willing to do what
they could to aid it, this spirit being
shown in, the fact that practically
all of the legislation recommended by
the chief executive had been passed.
Mr.. Epps referred to the fact that
at the last minute very important
measure had passed. While there was
not time to pass bill to this effect,
an appropriation had been made for
a supervisor Of factory schools. There
was supervisor Of high schools and
supervisor of rural schools and he
thought that it was but just that there
should be one of factory schools. A
bill creating this office. he thought,
would probably be passed at the next
session. .-
'The legislature worked hard this
session." said Mr.. Epps. The night
sessions began earlier and the men,
bers seemed willing to work at all
times for the good of their State"

Pile met at the home OF Miss Mabel
Briney on Tuesday evening to organ
ize and discuss plans for a six weeks
study of missions. Four districts
were formed. namely, Garnet mesa,

leaders it has secured for these
groups: Judge King. Professor Hen

Leslie Obert. The text to be used is
The Why and How of European Mis-
sions," a very interesting book.
This is the first opportunity of its
kind that has been offered the young
people of the community and many
have already signified their interest.
Mission study classes not only
broader ones horizon but greatly pro-
mote sociability. Another meeting
will be held soon to perfect further
plans and all young people are cor
daily urged to unite with the group

As stated. we believe that in spite of
all this there will be plenty of po-

future is concerned. the demand is
very light. The states of Iowa, Him
ois, Indiana and Ohio all have big
crop.
1T is our judgment based on pres

potato producing states, as well as
in the states not considered as potato
producers. that excessive or high
prices are not warranted. With
