LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.
Both Bodies Concluded Work Early
Sunday Morning.

Columbia, March 3.-The first
session of the seventy-third general
assembly was concluded at 1925
o'clock yesterday morning, when
the house adjourned. The senate
adjourned at TIA.
The engrossing of the general ap-
preparation bill, after the free con-
ference had completed adjustments
between the two houses at 8 o'clock
Saturday night, dragged on YEARLY
through the night. Many of the
members, anticipating that the gen.
eral assembly would adjourn sine
die during the night, began to leave
Saturday at.noon.
The free conference report on the
general appropriation bill was re-
ceived in both houses shortly before
Z o'clock yesterday morning and i'm
mediately adopted. Only brief time
elapsed before Governor Cooper had
affixed his signature and the few re-
naming details of the session were
cleared from the desks with dispatch.
The fight in the house for addi-
tional pay for the extra work the
legislators remained in session was
continued into the very last hour of
the session. Mr.. Miley, of Bamberg,
argued strenuously for resolution
to instruct the free conference to
write into the appropriation bill ad-
ditional pay of 500 for each men,
Der up to the minute the free con-
ference report was received. After
the free conference report had been
accepted a motion which had been
made earlier in the night, that it was
the sense of the members that they
were entitled to this extra pay, was
passed in the house. Several mem
bers protested, among them being
Mr. Mower, of Newberry,s and Mr..
Meares, of Fairfield. Mr.. Russell, of
Berkeley county declared with en-
phasis that he would not accept the
extra pay, although it might be vot-
ed and appropriated. Mr.. Hanahan,
of Fairfield, also spoke earnestly
against such a proposition and, re-
sented the allegation that some
members wanted the pay but were
afraid of their constituents, and for
that reason were opposing the reso-
luton.

gave out a statement.
The following resolution was
passed:
"Resolved, That the association
recommends to the cotton mills Of
South Carolina a schedule of fifty
five hours per week, and not exceed
ing ten hours in any one day, begin
ming March II, 1919"

eSTORY OF AN AUTOMOBILE.
North CarOlinian Claims Car of Bam.
berg County Man.

Quite a good deal Of interests at
tached to the story of. an automobile
in this county. 1t appears that some
three or four weeks ago citizen of
Ehrhardt bought from young man
a Hudson Super-siX car, the selling
price of which is S2,450, paying the
young man for it $500. Saturday
Mr.. Grimly, who is president of the
Jefferson Fire Insurance company, of
Greensboro, n. c., came to Bamberg,
claiming that it is his car, and that
it was stolen from him several weeks
ago. 1t appears that the numbers
had been erased from the car, but
Mr.. Grimly stated that he identified
the car by certain mar<s on it. Claim
and delivery papers were taken out
by Mr.. Grimly to regain the cars pos
session, and it is now in the posses
sion of Sheriff Ray. The gentleman
who bought the car has three days in
which to take out replevy papers, if
he cares to continue to claim posses
sion of the car. 1t is stated that the
whereabouts of the young man from
whom he bought the car are known,
but up to yesterday no arrests had
been made.

COMING TO DENMARK.
Rev. o. j. Frier, of Winnsboro, Ac-
cepts Pastorate.

The following letter from Rev. O.
J. Frier, of Winnsboro, appeared in
the last issue of the Baptist Courier,
and will be read with interest by the
people of Bamberg county, as the
Rev. Mr.. Frier was for several years
pastor of the Bamberg Baptist
church, and is most favorably known
to- large circle of friends through
out the county:
"After seven years as pastor of
the Baptist church of Winnsboro, l
have felt that duty leads me to ten
der my resignation the first Sunday in
this month to accept a call to the
church at Denmark, S. G. expect
to move about the first Of March.
During these years of service
with the Winnsboro brethren and
sisters, I led them in building pref
ty brick church that for five years
has been our delight, and it has all
been paid for but little over $500,
which may also be raised before
go. Every subscription made to the
building has been paid in full but
one small one, and the church has
kept up her apportionments to mis-
sions and benevolences while doing
this, and has gradually increased
their pastors salary along with it all.
''It was a painful duty to urge
upon these good people my regisna-
tion, not because 1 felt that I wanted
to leave them, or that any of them
wanted me to go, but because I felt
that I ought to go to the Denmark
church. This has been my longest
pastorate, and have never had a
more pleasant one. sincerely hope
that they may secure a strong man
to continue the work among them. y

Big Robbery at Aiken.

Aiken, Feb. 27.-A 'second-story'
sneak thief entered the elegant
Whitney home Tuesday while the
hostess, Mrs. Willard Whitney
Straight, and guests were at dinner
and got away with jewelry amount
ing in value to between $4,000 and
$4,000. The jewelry consisted of
diamond rings, necklaces and
brooches belonging to Mrs. Harrison
Tween and Mrs. Arthur Swami, of
New York, and were taken from the
rooms of the guests at about 1880
o'clock. Mrs. Straight had locked
the door of her room before going
down to dinner, and by the act saw
ed much valuable jewelry.
This is the third robbery which
has occurred among the winter tour
ist colony this season. Some time
ago Mrs. Josef Hoffmann's home was
entered and about $4,000 worth Of
gems taken. Lady Kemp, the guest
of Mrs. F. S. Stevens at Sandhurst,
also was the loser of valuable jewel
ry through the act of sneak thief
last month.
Sheriff Howard and Chief Cleck-
ley have warned the people through
the local newspapers to be more
careful in laying valuables around
loosely, as it is believed some first
class" crook has followed up the
winter colony from the North.
