C. Senator Appelt's local option bill came up on its merits in the Senate yesterday, but was lost by a vote of 25 to 12. Senator Appelt had little hopes of getting the measure through the Senate, but made a very strong argument. in its favor and was well supported by Senators Barnwell of Charleston, Livingstone of Marlboro and other good debaters. Ben Tillman made things lively in a speech in the Senate Monday on the Philippine question. His ar raignment of McKinley and his ad ministration in their war policy was one of the strongest that has yet been made, and he is seconded by many republican Senators, who believe j-.st as he does. le was attentively list ened to while he delived a strong speech. Brigham H. Roberts, the polvga mist Congressman from Utab, was expelled from the House of Represen tatives last week by a vote of about four to one, or rather he was not al lowed to be sworn in at all. Roberts possesses three wives, and openly and brazenly defended himself for having them. It is a burning shame upon the nation even that there were a few men in Congress who wanted him seated. The situation looks anything but pleasant for the British in South Africa, and the London government has called off the war dogs br ten days or two weeks to wait for rein forcements to reach the field. In the mean time it is to be hoped that the Boers will make use of the halt and give them a severe blow. England is somewhat despondent over the sit uation, and thousands of fresh troops are on their way to Africa. England's casualties so far are nine thousand five hundred, of which about t wenty five hundred have been killed, four thousand eight hundred wounded, and the rest captured- There is no justice in the war that England is waging against these poor Boers, and speaking not from a spirit of human ity of course, which is seldom an ele ment in war, but from a desire to see retribution, we hope the Boers will make England pay dearly for the Transvaal before she captures it. During the fall of 1901 Charleston proposes having an industrial exposi tion, to last as long as the festival shall be reasonably well patronized, and for the purpose of bringing the commercial and other advantages of that city and the entire State promi nently before the country. This is eminently a good move on the part of the old city. Charleston has, dur ing the past few years, brought much censure upon herself at the hands of the people of the rest of the state Her pretended enforcement of the dispensary law, while her whole po lice system secretly winked at the blind tiger element; the rottenness which she has allowed to creep into her jury system, thereby resulting in many flagrant miscarriages of justice and the mistaken and conceited opin ion of the average Charlestonian that Charleston was the only place on thle globe, and that people in the rest of the State were obliged to go there to borrow money or buy goods-these have merited for the old city nauch that is not praise. She sat down idly and allowed other towns to take almost her entire cotton trade away from her while Richmond, Baltimore, Lynchburg, and other towns are coming right here at Char leston's doors and selling goods that she ought to be selling. But Char leston seems to be taking on new energy, and for that reason she is en titled to be forgiven for her past sins. The News and Courier has entered upon a campaign of jury reformation and general upbuilding, and the young men, such young business men as Col. W. B. Wilson and many others, hav'e determined to put new life into many lines of Charleston's industries. 'We are thus encouraged to look for many improvements in the State's old metropolis. There are many reasons why all South Carolina should love old Charleston. She is our Charleston. For historic memo ries she ranks with any city of the country, and perhaps no town speaks purer English or preserves more of the provincialisms of former and more chivalric days. It has been said of her that in proportion to her population she has more wealth than any city in the country, and her deep water advantages entitle her to rank with the best shipping points on the Atlantic coast. In her efforts to place: herself among the foremost cities of: the country she is to be congratulat ed and encouraged, and when she has: her industrial exposifion it will be the proper and patriotic thing for every good South Carolinian to speak a good word for Charleston and by attending the festival help her make merry the many visitors from other Capital Correspondence. SFNATE CHAMBER, Columbia, S. C.. Jan. 27, 1900. 1 I have read the communication from Pinewood signed by the Intend alt and Wardens of that town, and will endeavor to explain the criticism with reference to Magistrate Ragin's conduct. An alarming telegram had been sent to the Governor, who had to have definite information before he could act, and he being anxious to act promptly, wired back to Magis trate Ragin for definite information. To this he received no response. Later a telegram came from a citizenl to me. Immediately I called UpOn the Governor, showed him the tele gram and stated that the emergency was great, for I felt satisfied the sen der of the telegram would not have sent it unless conditions warranted it. 1 was asked "why do not these peo ple call on the sheriff Y" My reply was that "these people had never had a sinuilar experience and had probably considered the Governor the proper source to ask for relief." The 6overnor then ordered the mili tarv department to make the neces sarv arrangements to comply with the request in the telegram to me. Other telegrams came, but none from Magistrate Ragin, and that officer's silence mystified things considerably. The affair created considerable con cern, and was the main topic dis cussed in the hotel. The questiou was put to me several times, "why does not the magistrate answer the Governor's telegram!' to which I had no answer, as I was as much in the dark as they. Under the circum stances it can be seen how easily the silence of the magistrate could be criticised. The comment that he bad taken to the swamp with his fright was, no doubt, jocularly made, nev ertheless it was made by some of the bystanders who did not know the man. Of course my absence from home caused me not to be in posses sion of the full facts and conditions, and it was not until I read the com munication in the last issue of THE TIMEs that I learned why it was that Magistrate Ragin did not answer the Governor's telegram, and I am free to say that if I had been placed in a similar position I can see how I might have acted as he did during an excitement; nevertheless he was badly advised. After having sent the first telegram he should have an swered the Governor. I did not share in the belief that Mr. Ragir had taken to the swamp, for I have known him nearly all of my life and have had occasion to see a test of his bravery, and I would be the last one to reflect upon his manhood. I at tribute his action to inexperience in such a trying ordeal, and the mis taken advice given to him to not an swer the Governor's telegram. Representative Woods has intro duced a bill to exempt the townships of Mt. Zion, Brewington and St. Mark's from the operation of the stock law during certain months This bill was accompanied by a pe tition from citizens in those town. ships. The delegation at its last meeting, after getting a complete statement of the county's income, has deter mined to reduce the county levy one mill, which, I am satisfied, will be sufficient to run the county, if eco nomically administered. I have had passed to a third read. ing a bill to require the sheriff tc perform the duties of constable foi the magistrate at Manning without additional compensation-a saving of S200. I have also had passed a bill pro viding asalarv of $1,000 per year for te Cerk of Court, all fees now al lowed by law to go into the treasury This. I believe, will save the taxpay ers in the neighborhood of $1,000 per year. The bill has passed, but on account of an amendment to which it is attached, being incomplete, it was referred to a committee on free conference of whi-ch I am chairman It is therefore reasonably sure it will become law. Representative Richardson is on a committee to regulate a schedule of salaries for county officers threagh out the State. Representative Jones is determined to press his seed cotton license bill, and although I am anxious that he succeed. I do not believe that he will this session. It was my good fortune to have a visit from Mrs. Appelt this week, and on account of her visit we became the guests at the executive mansion, where we were delightfully enter tained. Mr. Frank Barron was one of the visitors to the Senate chamber this week, and we also were visited by Clerk of Court J. H. Timmons and Mr. C. T. Ridgeway. Solicitor 'Wilsoni and Miss Lucie Barrou are at their respective posts in the engrossing department. A $100 REW AR D $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to leairn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages. and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con'itutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally. acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces ot the system, thereby destroying the foundation f the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Sena for list of testimonials. Address F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, 0.
