Hard to Get Quarters.
1t is no easy matter for legislators to
get a place to stay and when they do
get it they are required to pay for 1t
at very high rate according to Rep
resentative Erwin Carothers Of Rock
Hill who was discussing the matter
this morning. Representatives Brad
fol d, Pursley and myself have been
occupying room in the Y. M. c. A.
building in Columbia" said Mr.. Caro-
Tiers. 1T isn't much of room and I
have been sleeping on little old cot.
Yet we are. required to pay s45 per
month for that room or SIS each. The
assembly is in session only about five
days week and those Of us who re-
turn home for week ends only use our
rooms about four nights a week. Yet
nothing is knocked off when we are not
there so you see it is pretty expensive" )"
Successor to Marion.
1t was learned here today. that David
Hamilton, Esq, will be candidate to
succeed Associate Justice J. Hardin
Marion as senator from Chester coun-
ty and there is little or no probability
that Mr.. Hamilton will have opposi-
ton. Messrs. ]. Lyles Glenn, Jr., and
John Hemphill, both members of the
Chester bar and the former a represen-
tative in the lower house from Chester
have been talked of as candidates for
the senate but the understanding is
that neither Of them will make the
race.

Joker the Joke.
There was much excitement in
Rock Hill boarding house Thursday
night when former resident Of the
city, a young man who had come back
to visit a young lady here calmly an
nounced that he had swallowed poison
in the shape Of a bottle of carbo!ic
acid. He was rushed to the Fennell
| Tnfrmary where physicians who had
been notified of his coming were ready
with the stomach pump and other
buI Tic Sl6ul VI tuc
stomach pump and the operating room
was too much for him and the young
ster immediately began to insist that he
had swallowed no acid, but that it was
all a joke. The doctors and nurses
were taking no chances however so
they proceeded to wash out his stom-
ach to guard against the possibility of
his having taken the poison. Accord
ing to the story being told the young
man who formerly lived in Rock Hill
came back this week to visit a young
woman here. Upon his arrival he
found another young man calling on
her. Deciding to give her a fright he
announced that he had taken poison.
The joke was on him at last, however
and after the stomach pump had been
put to work on him he announced that
it would be a long time before he ever
did such trick again.
