Mr.. Rivers Tells What He Is Do
ing In the Legislature

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 27.-I|
guess the readers of the Journal
are keeping up with the work
of the Legislature, but I am Ger
tain that all of them are not ia
miliar with the details of the
work, 90 I am writing this in
order that. they indy hear from
their Representative and get his
opinion of the merits of certain
proposed legislation.
The liquor question is before
the General Assembly IN vari-
our forms, from a High License
for Charleston to a bone dry
prohibition measure covering
the whole State. I cannot tell
just what will be done. But it
seems from the sentiment ex-
pressed that there will either be
prohibition or some of the va
rious measures proposed for the
perfecting of the present law
passed. The Insurance question
will be brought up next week
and | am expecting a battle
ROYAL on the amendments pro-
posed. The life of the cotton.
warehouse system today hangs
in the balances, there being a
bill now pending to repeal the
law. Also the election of a
warehouse commission, which
in its self means so much to the
usefulness OF the system that the
life of it depends on who is
elected. The finances of the
State are occupying the fore.
most thought of this body at
present. and especially the Ways
and Means Committee. Our
institutions are growing and de.
veloping to such an extent that
the call for money TO support
and carry out their intentions
are almost beyond what most of
us can comprehend. When we
think of the number of the peo-
pie who are the objects of char
ity and the unfortunates we can
see why the call is persistent.
But my pet, they say down here,
is the public schools. | am sup
porting the Rector.Riddle bill,
which grades the public schools
of the States and provides a
more liberal support for the
class Of schools that serve the
masses of the people If any
thing ever does change our
State from the bottom in regard
to illiteracy ii will be the public
schools.
Will write again next week.

 The following poem by Oscar Aeken
 Phelps of Hartford may be Of help 10 many.
 "I.e,, pray thee, Thy loving kind ness be for my comiorlh When depressed with grief or sadness Anu our hopes are sunder riven, Turn your sorrow into gladness With the hymn, Psalm twenty seven. All forsaken, lone and weary, Seeming friends prove false and mean,
 Read, to make the way more cheery, First Corinthians, thirteen.
 When you've spent your final penny And your fears you cannot calm, For relief, the first of many, See the thirty seventh Psalm. If the world seems slipping from you, Nc one gives you your just dues, | IL will surely help to calm you, Find the twelfth Of old Hebrews. 
 Does your daily burden tax you, Think you're in an awful fix, 1 There's a message twill relax you, Turn to Psalm, one twentysix. I Do you live midst churlish neighbors And hard:feelings come between, l Keep your temper, heed your labers, 1 Read and practice, John fifteen.
 Are you crushed by quilts oppression,
 Evil done and good undone, 1 To vour God make full confession,
 Breathe the prayer, Psalm fifty one.
 Do your plans get all defeated, l Others gibe and call you names, Let no harsh word be repeated, l Smile and read the third ot James. 1 Would you make your life a blessing 1 Yielding fruits that will survive,
 By your deeds your faith confessinu, 1 Search with care Galatians, five. 1 So, whatever your condition,
 All the time, in every place, 1 God would seal your full fruition l Through His nll protecting grace. l Since Gods eare is ever o'er you | Will you not His love requite,
 Seek the way He willeth for you Find His Word your full delight.
