Day was observed at the college on
Friday, February 1S The students,
each class in its colors. marched and
wound in beautiful drills over the
campus, and grouped in classes
about places where trees were to be
planted. Each class planted tree
with beautiful ceremony. Class
songs, yells, and an appropriate ad-
dress by representative of each
group made up the programme for
the setting of the trees. Again as
a student body the gay and frolic-
some girls sang college songs and
gave lusty yells for the college and
those most interested in the observ-
ance of the day.
This exercise initiated the work
planned and undertaken by the Co.
lumbia College club to beautify the
campus. Mr. Baldwin. the landscape
gardener, has been employed and an
elaborate and attractive plan is to
be carried out to make the institu-
tons surroundings more beautiful.

fftieth anniversary of the organiza
ton of the Y w C A was observed
at Columbia college on Saturday
evening, February IL, by a joint

s. C. LEGISLATURE
HAS ADJOURNED.
A SESSION FRUITFUL IN GOOD
WORKS..-SOME OF THE THINGS
ACCOMPLISHED BY THAT BODY.

ACCOMPLISHED BY THAT BODY.
At $50 o'clock Sunday morning,
February 20, 1916, the second annual
session of the present General AS
sembly of South Carolina came to a
close, land the sound of the gavels of
the presiding officers of the two leg
islative branches was silenced by the
4O-day time limit until 1917, when it
will be heard again, calling the old
and new representatives Of the peo-
pie of the State to order to enact
new laws ard repeal or change old
and imperfect measures as the inter-
ests of the sovereign people may
best be served.
The forty-day session that ended
Sunday morning was full of interest
from start to finish, inasmuch as
many new and important measures
had to be considered and finally en-
acted into laws. Among the most
important of these were those rec
commended by Governor Manning
and known as Administration bills.
All these acts are along lines of pro-
gressive legislation and are number
bered among the constructive meas
ures which have become law under
the present Executive. They are:
The State law of conciliation; teach
ing agriculture in the public schools
in rural districts; raising the child
labor age limit from IL to IA years;
the Torrens system of land registra-
ton, and amendments to the tax
commission providing for a State
board of review and perfecting the
measure SO as to secure an equitable
and just assessment of taxes.
One other measure close to the
Governors heart and urged by him
in his message to the General AS
sembly was the rural credits bill.
This, however, after much consider
alton. resulted in the passage of
concurrent resolution providing for
a Legislative committee to investi-
gate the subject more thoroughly,
report its findings and make such
recommendations as it may deem ad-
visable TO the General Assembly in
1917.
Apparently both branches of the
General Assembly were actuated
throughout the session by a desire
to pass only such measures as were
necessary and of a constructive ma
ture, at the same time displaying an
unalterable disposition to keep ap-
propriations within a fixed or limit
ed sum. In these aims they succeed
ed we'll and as result the State tax
levy has been reduced one-half mill
from last year.
Other measures of far-reachlng
importance enacted during the clos
ing hours of the session were tnat
driving the Southeastern Tariff as
sociation out of the State; the re-
enactment of the prohibition refer
endum; bill reducing the quantity
of whiskey an individual may order
from one gallon to two quarts per
month, and the passage of the Lilies
bill providing punishment for blind
tigers and the illicit trafficking IN
liouor. These measures are no" on
the statute books and are applicable
throughout the State. They are
paramount among the legislative en-
actments during the recent session.
although other important measures
of general interest were passed,

Charleston Buys Horses Here.

Two Kentucky thoroughbreds and
a Kentucky.raised horse were bought
by Chief Black for the police depart
ment as the result of visit by him
to Kingstree Saturday afternoon.
The horses were sold by J M Tru-
luck and arrived in Charleston yes
terday afternoon.
Chief Black rode each of the three
horses yesterday and stated last night
that he was perfectly satisfied with
them. Other officers who looked the
horses over yesterday stated that
they were as fine animals as have
ever been in local police service.
One of the horses has been named
Danny and will be used by Chief
Black. He stands sixteen and half
hands high and appears to be an ex-
cellent animal. The other two will
be used by sergeants for their rounds.

HUGHES LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. Gompers, remembering
only that he is Democrat and forget
ting that he is leader Of organized
labor. ventured to assert that Mr..
Hughes IL unfriendy to labor because
he concurred in the unanimous deci
sion In the Danbury hatters' case, he
ventured on very thin ice. The Chicago
Tribune promptly reminds him that an
honest judge must apply the law as he
thinks 1t Is, not as he thinks 1t ought
to be, and asks him to tell those who
look to him for political advice some
thing about the record Of Mr. Hughes
as governor Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ OF the
New York Federation Of Labor, said
elitorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
governors chair at Albany for his
place on the supreme court. Here 1t Is.
Now that Governor Hughes has re-
tired from politics and assembled to q
place on the highest judicial tribunal
In the world, the fact can be acknowl-
edged without hurting anybody's poht-
ical corns that he was the greatest
friend Of labor laws that ever occupied
the governors chair at Albany During
his two terms he has signed fiftysix
labor laws. including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted IN tits or
any state.
He also urged the enactment OF
labor laws In his messages to the legis-
ature. even going 50 far as TO place
the demand for a labor law In one Of
his messages to an extra session Of the
legislature.
only 1872 labor laws have been en-
acted In this state since its erection in
l777--in 1873 years. One-third Of these,
exceeding In quality all of the others,
have been enacted and signed during
Governor Hughes term OF three years
and nine months"

point: "Mr Hughes is no demagogue

THE lNcoNslDERATE BEHAVIOR
OF 4 CANDIDATE.

Why does Mr.. Hughes insist upon
talking about that old fashioned, not
10 say "iniQuitous" doctrine, the pro
tectlve tariff? For nearly the whole
period OF It's Industrial existence the
United States struggled along under
protection The Democratic party In
1913 came 10 the relief of an afflicted
and hurdened people.
The Republican Administration mot
on account Of the tariff, 1t Is true
was ovcrthrown. Before taking over
the reins of government and for many
years prior to that time, countless
Democratic statesmen had vainly tried
TO persuade the American people that
the protective tarilf was an iniquity,
Il veritable contriyance OF devils. 1t
fostered the trusts, and il was an Gle
vator of prices even TO the thirty-sey-
enth story and the tower. They prom
Used relief. The poor should be no
longer oppressed the cost of living
should be reduced-must be, as the
sure result of tariff for revenue
protective only in spots, such as the
Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he Is now
attacking? He ought to know The
Democrats, under the leadership of
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Underwood, re-
pcaled that iniquity and abomination,
the payne-Aldrich tariff law-that fos-
ter mother Of trusts and high prices
and enacted In its place the present
law. Mr.. Hughes knows, Of course,
as every head Of a family in America
knows. that the trusts have not yet
been dissolved and that the cost of
living is higher than ever-that the
price of everything has reached an I'M
heard of height-but what Of it?
What of it, indeed? While 1t IS true
that a protective tariff never failed
under any circumstances to protect
American industry and American Ia
Dor, it is to be considered that the war
in Europe has upset the plans Of the
present low tariff administration.
Now, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes to do is to give the Demo
Gratis a chance to get their tariff on
straight. Never mind the patient; let
the doctor experiment That time
won't come, of course until the war
Is over-according to the Democratic
version. In other words, the tariff
for revenue doctrine doesn't fit the
conditions; the conditions must be
made to fit the tariff. SO why this
disturbance, Mr., Hughes?
Besides, when you discuss little
thing like the tariff, do you not know
that Son-in-Iaw McAdoo and the other
statesmen Of the Democratic family
are likely to repeat their accusation
that you are Observation-Disclosures

 Recruiting continues in the various com panies. Each day new men enlist for service in one or another organizations, several hundred recruits have been added since the regiments went to encampment. There is urgent need, however, for more men in the hospital and ambulance corps, and for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of that organization, Sergeant Charles Mandy of Birmingham left for that city this afternoon. MT. Mandy hopes to secure about 9 new recruits.
 It is not known when the troops will be ordered away from Montgomery, though every indication points to an early departure, probably by the middle of next week.
