Last winter the designers began 10

but they are used to lift heavy mate

Genuine reeds are employed. They
are exceedingly light in weight and
texture. and there is not the least
tendency toward the rightly which
accompanied hoop skirts when they
were in their heyday. The effect
given is that OF something quite
floating and unstable. merely holding
out the fabric from the figure to give
more curve. less attenuation.
But, the question is whether this is
only the beginning or whether the
designers have more sinister motives

A Letter From Representative
Rivers.
Columbia, Jan. 90.

Columbia, Jan. 90.
Mr.. Editor-I promised that
last week l would say something
through your columns about the
Asylum situation, but on &C
count of being sick l failed to
make up the communication,
and l guess by this time your
readers have heard all about this
institution. / will say however,
that the state is attempting TO re
deem itself SO far as it can in the
care of this class of unfortunates.
The former principle of the in
stltution seemed to be to make a
prison or dumping place for un-
desirables of families, where
these unfortunates were placed
inside of walls to live out a few
miserable days, with a very
meager attention or only such
attention as could be given them
by au insufficient number of al
tendants. The idea of the Leg
Islature now seems to be to
make the institution truly a Hos
pltal. where patients afflicted
with mental diseases may be
cured and returned to their
homes in normal condition.
We are working right along
now. Killing a lot of proposed
legislation. Had the elections
last week, which took up a lot
of time.
The most important measure
now up before the House is the
proposed Highway Commission
bill. This bill seeks to create a
law in this state to conform 10
the FEDERAL Highway act, in
which the Federal Government
aids in the laying out. building
and maintaining system of per.
manent roads. The bill before
us would levy a tax upon all
automobiles and motor driven
vehicles. One third of which
goes to a state highway commits
sion and two thirds to the coun-
ty from which it came. There
has been a lot of debate on this
measure but up TO date no vote
has been taken and l have no
idea of its outcome. 1t shows
however, that the people are
waking up to this importants fea;'
ture OF a constructive policyof
our Governmental affairs.
The higher institution of learnlI|
ing in this state are coming in
for a good share of attention this
year. There being a lot of di.
vision of sentiment in regard 10
the scholarship and free tuition
features of the different colleges.
There are those who think that
the wealth of the state are deriv-
ing the benefit from scholarships
and these are proposing the abo-
litlon of the free tuition benefici-
ary scholarships. Some think
that the state schools should
charge tuition and take notes
from deserving students; | don't
know the strength of these diff. |
terent ideas, but | believe some |
thing will be done TO prevent(
fraud in obtaining these benefits.
There are lots of other impor-
tant measures before the House.
Dut l haven't space to write
about these this time.
We are having an epidemic of
LaGrippe down here. Hope YOU
;.Il are well.
Respectfully.
]. Clifton Rivers.

Der of Commerce yesterday afternoon
it was decided to send a man to Ok
lahoma City, to remain there in touch
with the legislature until the final
disposition of the gross production
tax bill, now pending before the legs-
lature.
"The bill is being hard fought by
some senators from the northern part
Of the state, and especially by that
cyclone of perpetual disturbance,
Campbell Russell, who is never so
happy as when he is causing trouble"
said a member of the Chamber of
Commerce who came from Oklahoma
City yesterday, "and it will be well
to have someone on the ground to
look after the interests of the bill"
The Chamber of commerce instruct
ed the secretary to proceed to Okla
homa City and take such steps as he
deems necessary, and to keep the
local body fully informed as to the
daily proceedings.

FOUNTAIN FOR
COUNTY COURT
HOUSE YARD
PLACE IS THERE, AND FOR VERY
LITTLE EXPENSE A MOST AT
TRACTlVE FOUNTAIN COULD BE
INSTALLED.

"Why not install a neat fountain
in the flower plat At the west front
of the court house," was asked by
one who takes delight in civic
attractiyeness this morning, and. on
the face of it, the proposition looks
! like a good one. For less than two
hundred dollars this basin could be
made six feet deep of concrete, and
as the water pipe is already installed
in the center, a pyramid of rough
rock would be all that would be neces-
sary to make a most attractive foun-
tain and an added feature to the
beauty of the court house and
grounds.
The Board of County Commission
ors will have this matter brought
TO their attention at their next regu-
lar meeting and if there are no funds
to do this work. and they will give
their consent the work may be done
with popular subscription. Last year
a movement was started among the
ladies of the city to start a civic
beauty league, but it seems to have
languished for time and finally
died. Perhaps another effort will be
made to revive it and take charge of
all such work in the future.
There is not a single fountain in
any of the parks of the city, nor in
my of the yards of our more pre-
tentious residences. and one placed .
1t the court house as suggested would .
certainly add greatly to the appear
anCe of the grounds.

Assistant Game Warden DR.. Harlow
wishes to announce now that the law
governing the shooting of migratory
birds has passed into the hands of
the federal government and that it
will be enforced to the letter. so far
as the latter is concerned There is
some question about the law govern
ing fishing in privately owned lakes.
The attorney general has been asked
for an opinion on the subject ard as
soon as it is received it will be pub
lished. Some maintain that he law
does not apply to private,y- owHed
lakes, and, using this line of argu-
ment many contend that the city lake
is private property. and therefore i'm
mune from all restrictions.
All this will be settled as soon as
the opinion can be secured from the
attorney general. In the meantime,
no fish are being taken from the city
lake. nor will there be until the mat
ter is finally settled.
