visited and which will be the farthest
point west that they could possibly
reach by auto.
No Thrilling Experiences
The members of the party have had
no thrilling experiences on the trip;
and not a bit of trouble with the
mechanism of their engine, the only
semblance of trouble being the break
ing of the irons holding the extra
tires, which has happened to several
machines as they travelled over the
rough roads. They met car after car,
however, which never reached their
destinations.
Now En- Route Home
From San Diego the Sibleys will
motor direct to Phoenix, Ariz., and,
after a short visit, will proceed east
by way of Oklahoma. They will visit
at Washington, D. c., planning to
reach their New Jersey home in time

prominent architect, school buildings
being his speciality. By the time they
reach their home they will have
travelled over $4,000 miles, after a
three months journey through the
most beautiful scenery and highly
interesting points of the United
States.

Hudson County Holds
Big Mass Meeting to
Consider Legislation

Hudson County legislation set the
pace for the rest of the State on
Tuesday evening last when they held
an open meeting in the City Hall to
encourage suggestions from any who
chose to make them on what was
needed to improve public affairs
Hudson's assemblymen and State
Senator Egan presided.
Although the plan was to hold a
public meeting, only eighteen of the
city's extensive membership were in
attendance. But some of these had
very radical reforms to urge. One
of Jersey City's most prominent Of
ficials, Commissioner Brensinger
had practically a whole legislative
program for the bettering of con-
ditions in the city and county to
present. Others appearing or heard
from were George L. Record, Com
missioner Hague and former Sheriff
Wedin.
The most drastic move threatened
by Commissioner Brensinger was
against the State Board of Public
Utilities Commissioners. The Jersey
City Commission has battled long to
get much needed tube station for
the Marion section of the city, but
without success, the Utilities Com
mission refusing to compel the Penn
sylvania, Hudson & Manhattan rail-
4O I
station. Commissioner Brensinger
warned the Utilities Commission on
Tuesday evening that if they re-
fused to reverse their decision, he
would have a bill introduced at the
coming session at Trenton making
their body elective instead of ap-
pointive.
Commissioner Brensinger also said
that he was preparing bill to pre-
vent the handing over of the Jersey
City section of the Morris Canal to
the Lehigh Valley Railroad for a
"mere song" The Commissioner
also urged the legislators to support
a bill whose object was to exempt
personal property of less than $1,000
in value from taxation. This, he
said, was in order to attract more
industries to the place.
The Commissioner next took fling
at the Public Service Corporation
whom he promised to make pay for
greater part of the expenses of
running the government by paying a
more just franchise tax for their use
Of the city's streets.
He suggested the passage of law
providing for 80-cent gas; a meter
inspection bureau; the leaving of the
taxation of water front property in
the hands of the city officials; the
compelling of the Public Service Cor
poration to pave the streets between
the trolley tracks; and then asked
the legislators to fight the move of
the Republicans to repeal the Full
Crew law.
The communication from Commits
sioner Hague was in regard to the
unreasonable raising of rates by the
insurance companies, in spite of the
city's improvement in the conditions
of its fire department. His letter
was read by Senator Egan. The
Commissioner threatened that unless
the companies lowered their rates, he
would cause Corporation Counsel
Milton to draw bill giving the Pub
lie Utilities Commission power to
regulate the rates, and compel the
companies to file an annual state
ment with the County Clerk show
ing their profits. Lawyer James f.
Cannon, jr., and Senator Egan re-

Sat at Mark Twain Table
They stopped off over night at the
only remaining Wells Fargo station
of the old days when the pony ex-
press was in existence. They sat at
the table, which had been graced by
the presence of Mark Twain and
Gladstone. Harry Thaw stopped here
on his recent trip west.
At the top of the Continental Di-
vide, 8,247 feet above the sea level,
the members of the party were inter-
ested in a monument erected in the
form of an Egyptian pyramid in
memory of Oaks and Oliver Ames,
builders of the Western Pacific Rail
road.
Just Missed Twelve Feet of Snow
The motorists were in hurry to
get over the road near Colfax on ac-
count of the early SHOWS which set
in. Not long after passing that
point, twelve feet of snow fell, block
ing the road for the winter.
At the Exposition
At Napa, Cal, the party visited
two of Mr.. Sibley's sisters and then
visited the San Francisco Exposition.
At San Jose they had the pleasure
of visiting Mr.. Sibley's mother, whom
he had not seen for II years. The
Mt. Hamilton auto trip and the big
trees were also enjoyed.

Items of General Interest.

Rev DR. Len G Broughton. the
great Atlanta evangelist, who &C.
cepted a call to London several
years ago to preach to the largest
Baptist congregation of any church
in the world of that denomination,
it is claimed. has returned to the
United States recently and accepted
a call to the pastorate of the First
Baptist church of Knoxville, Ten.
nessee. DR. Broughton's reason for
giving up his London charge is that
his health failed under the strain of
the work.
Frank James, brother of Jesse
James, the notorious outlaw and
desperate, died Thursday, February
18, at Excelsior Springs, Missouri,
where he had lived peacefully on a
farm for the past thirty years. On
account of i'll health he received a
pardon thirty years ago. Apoplexy,
deadlier than bullets, was the direct
cause of his death, although he had
been a victim of tuberculosis for
many years. In accordance with
his ante-mortem wishes the body of
the former outlaw was cremated
and the ashes placed in an urn.

AFTERMATH Ut
General ASSEMBLY.
SEVERAL IMPORTANT BILLS DIS
CUSSED BRIEFLY--MATTERS
OF LOCAL INTEREST.
Columbia, February 20 Especially
The fortieth day of the session finds
the General Assembly ready for ad-
journment except for the usual work
: af the free conference committees
and the finishing strokes of the en-
crossing department, which always
mark the final hours.
In some respects this has been a
8 record session. Seldom, if ever, has
There been such a spirit of unanimi-
I tys and harmony as has marked the
proceedings of the lower House, or
such speed and dispatch in handling
and disposing of measures of impor-
tant legislation. The upper branch,
however, seemed to founder in dis
orranization for three weeks before
arriving at an attitude for work;
but when it did come it came with a
vengeance and in quick succession
the administration measures were
but one over the other, until practi-
caily all had passed-wise and 9TH
eerwise. Che three bills remaining or
y calendar are: The Medical In
bection of School Children, the Sys-
fsm Of Registration of Land Titles
Similar to the Torrens Plan, and the
bill authorizing the State to quarry
and grind limestone for agricultural
purposes, to be furnished farmers
at actual cost.
Governor Manning is highly pleas
ed with what has been accomplished,
and he ought to be. His views have
: been enacted into law; what he ask
ed for he received. And now the
Burden of the wisdom of the acts is
upon his official shoulders.
The most important law passed is
the Tax Commission act, which seeks
to classify and equalize property for
taxation by providing a Tax Com
mission of three members who will
act in lieu of the State Board Of AS
SCISSORS. The township and county
boards are not changed. The Tax
commission, however, has supervis-
ION over and more authority than
the lower boards; but in turn is re-
sponsible to a Board Of Reviewers.
composed of seven members, ap-
pointed, one from each Congression-
IL district. This reformation should
result in q distinct benefit to the
average taxpayer; in fact, to all ex-
cept those who have purposely hid
den their values in order to escape
the tribute due their Government.
- The best laws enacted by the ses-
siop are those providing for the ref
orfietion Of the insane asylum and
the Board of Charities and Correc-
ton. These, taken together, cannot
but appeal to the citizenship of the
State, who are mindful Of the great
HltY the State owes to that most
Unfortunate class Of her people, de-
ssmented and crazed either by disease
sossyice: robbed of health and free
dDsn; separated from associates,
iends, loved ones discarded. These
laws seek to make such lives easier,
and if possible, happier, by requiring
Sof those in charge of our prisons.

stions their full duty and offering to

tby and assistance.

Coffins and Caskets.

School Attendance law is good, but
the law itself is doubtful, to say the
least. On this question there was
done the shrewdest work of the
session. The opposition realized
from the first that some such law
would be passed in spite of all that
might be done against the measure.
It would take too much space to re-
late in detail the ups and downs OF
the bill, but when it finally passed.it
was not recognized by it's author,
having gone through so many
changes--its teeth Gas some one
suggested were all drawn or filed
fiat, and although law on the stat
ute books, it is as mild as a May
morning. The State and Williams
burg county will continue to ad-
vance in educational interests, and
illiteracy will continue to rapidly
decrease, but not because of the new
law. 1t is impracticable and will
probably never become operative.
Another relic of the session is
the bill which enacted the primary
rules of the last State convention
into permanent law. This was either
wise or foolish. Time alone will
tell, and it is easy to amend a law,
or repeal it-for instance. the Cot
ton Acreage act.
Much interest is concentrated in
the so-caEled Referendum act'
which providesfor an election Tues
day, September IA, 1915, on the
dispensary question. A majority
voting against the legal sale of
whiskey will close all dispensaries in
the State, while majority for its
legal sale will leave the counties
now wet" to continue to operate
their dispensaries. This bill was
especially interesting because of the
strong opposition to it from Char
lesion interests. The sentiment in
its favor was overwhelming, how
ever, and it's passage was easy. The
opposition lacked leadership and or
ganization, so far as floor work was
concerned.
The Resident Hunters License bill
was also passed, but before getting
through the Senate rs counties, in
Gliding Williamsburg, were exempt
ed from its provisions.
The local legislation, which is of
special interest to Williamsburg
county, is as follows:
Act authorizing Johnsonville
school district to issue bonds for
school building.
Act authorizing Hemingway school
district to issue bonds for school
building.
Act authorizing Kingstree to
establish,a municipal court.
Act creating township known as
Clarendon, embracing annexed por-
ton of Clarendon county to Viii.
liamsburg.
Act authorizing tax levy for
Clarendon township to raise cost Of
annexation.
Act authorizing county dispensary
board of control to employ detec-
tives for the enforcement of the dis
pensary law.
Act authorizing the division of
profits.
