Blacks—The Cigarette Kvil is Belt With and a Tax Imposed. Mr. Gage’s bill to prohibit the mana- facture and ealo of cigarettes was taken up and passed over to permit Mr. Epps' bill on the same subject to be considered first. Mr. Sinkler said that the United States court of appeals had recently decided exactly similar bills uncon stitutional. Mr. Ashley moved to strike out the enacting words of the bill. Both bills had been unfavorably reported. , Mr. Epps thought that it was time to put a stop to the iojurr that was being done to the youth of the State by the sale of cigarettes. He thought their lives were being endangered. Mr. Hinkler said, if any one could satisfy him that this law was constitu tional be would vote for the bill. The circuit court of appeals bad decided adversely to such a bill. Mr. Wtuktwr knew of no more dam- nabie habit to the youth of tbit coun try than that of »n> ok lag cigarettes It was a hill to oommead iloalf to the members of the geaeral ssembiy He held that the Iowa deeietoe covered a diCereal case.

When Mr. Caughman’s Jim Crow car bill, which had been unfavorably re ported, was called up Mr. Meares moved to strike out the enacting words. Mr. Caughman defended his bill. He thought it was their duty to legislate for the benefit of the Caucasian race in the future. He was fully aware that this bill had been fought over every two years since *76. He feared that as the years rolled by Intermar- maridage of the races might come. He argued that the railroads would not suffer. He urged the fact that most of the other Southern States had such laws. • Mr. Reynolds said that the unfavor able report of the committee was of ooarae of weight in this r alter He •aid there had been a growing feeling that this legislation was unnecessary The course of such bills In 30 years showed that. The desire foe the bill grew out of the race problem.

Mr. Meares insisted oa the date he bad suggested. The House refused to let it stand until November. Mr. Sturkie’s amendment was then agreed to. Mr; Gadsden then offered an amend- menTto do away vrlth the second-class fares, la order to pat this State , on a. footing with the other Southern States. Mr. Townsend moved to table this, and it was done. Mr. McLaurin offered to amend so ss to make the road, carry separate sec ond-class as welt as first-class coaches. Mr. Sturkie opposed this, saying it would work a hardship on all roads. The amendment was thsmadoptecl. Mr. Owen offered an amendment looking to the elimination of all ref erence to slavery from the bill, but the House tabled it. The bill was then ordered to a third reading la this shape: Sec. 1 That all railroads or railroad companies engaged ia this State as common carriers of passengers for hire shall furnish separate apartments in first aad soeoed-cless coaches or separ ate first and second class coaches for the accommodation of white aad colored pe«eeag« re ; provided, equal acoommo datioas shall be supplied toall per toes, without dlstioctloe of race, color or previous coedllioo, la each coaches See. 1 That aay Iret or < coach of seek carftor of emy be divided leto apertmeets by e •uNateeiia' pertuiuc ta Hoa of sap here is the tea that is brought all the way from China aad the coffee from South America and Mexico.

HOW IT WAR BROUGHT ABOUT. This bread was made from flour that was ground from Dakota wheat. This salt came from the Indian reservation in New York State. This Worcester sauce came from London. These can ned peaches came from California. The" spices that are in this‘cake, the cinnamon and mace and nutmeg came from tfaeHoluccas or Spice islands in the Indian Archipelago. And the cloves that you use came from over there. Cloves, you must know, are the little short black hobnails that the cobblers drive in the heels of peasants’ shoes and the spice resembles them so much that it took their name. Cloves are not the fruit nor the seed of the tree, but is the bloom plucked and dried before it has quite opened. A great naturalist says that the clove tree Is the most beautiful, the most elegant and the moel precious of all kaown trees. It ia about forty feet high and lives to be 100 years old.

During the last year of prohibition there were over a hundred bar-rooms la the place, many of them licensed by the U. S. government, and run almost openly.

The Am* l*giklb* ture that convened after the senior editor of this paper moved to Columbia was elected on the prohibition issue. A separate box had been set aside for the voters to express their desires, and as the liquor men took but little part in the contest they were overwhelm ingly defeated, and r large majority of the members were committed by their constituents to prohibition. 1’artlaan feeling then ran very high, aad Gov. Tillman bad announced his Intention to sign may bill the General Assembly should pass regulating the liquor traf fic. We believe that a majority of the members fait that prohibit.on was Im practicable, aad would prove a failure, but they pledged their people to obey Iheik commands as recorded at the ballpt-box, aad the voters had decided on prohitottaa.

Mr tULuech replied, saying Ibal! the smokiog of cigarette* was act to be compared with the smoking of pipes. He srgned that the dispensary law de creases the drinking of liquor. Mr. deLoach was a reformed cigarette smoker himself. Mr. deLosch’s amendment to make the privilege tax 10 cents instead of 25 cents was then killed, after being considered again, there being some doubt as to its having been voted upon at the morning session. Mr. Ashley offered to amend by adding the following words: “Nor shall any cigar be sold without comply ing with* the terms of this act, or pipe be sold without a cane-root pipe stem f nor shall any pipe be used more than three days without being cleaned ; and further that no man shall chew to bacco more than once.” This c.'eated loud laughter. Of course nothing eras done with the amendment. The bill was then ordered to a third reading in this shape: 1 Section 1. That no package of cigarettes sold or offered for sale shall contain more than five cigarettes, nor shall any package of cigarette paper ■old or offered for sale contain more than 100 leaves of length and width now used. Sec. 2. That every such package of cigarettes or cigarette paper shall have therqon a privileged tax stamp aa hereinafter provided for, which •hall be famished to dealers in cigar- treasurers of the counties of this fltate at a cost of 25 cent* each, aad the pro ceeds of the sale of sach stamps shall be held by th* omety treasurers sub- keel to the warraats ef th* boards af county cowl—loners like th* leads tor ordinary eeealy expenses Rea t That th* privileged tax stoma weigarwua pa**r sWl MRaat M ftamhev —% ! if RwaU Garwitaa This to to f tarn th* yrlvtlaffs toe ef this watbat U i ace a live to aeselgamatiea Mr Huger* temarked that If it wars poeaiWe be woe Id Ilk* lose* these grace biottsd owt of the Rtol*.

Smith said they needed the bill btoly la the lower portion of the State. He argued for some time. The previous queetion was then call ed on the whole matter.

Nothing flatters aa old man's vaaity more than to be appealed to for Infor mation concerning such things. He is proud to have the young people look up to him aa a philosopher, a historian, a scholar. -Solomon says: u Get wisdom; get understanding.” Lord Bacon says: “ Knowledge is power,” and Shake speare says : “Knowledge is the wing with which we fly to .heaven.” Most of us get our knowledge from books— from the brain of other people who have gone before; but that obtained from thoughtful observation and expe rience is the better kind. Long, long ago I knew an old man who had no books and could hardly write his name, J et his knowledge of things around 1m—of the changes of the moon and the forebodings of the weather; the growth of plants; the habits t)f fowls and fishes, and the-structure of ani mals was remarkable. I was glad to be a pupil under such a master. The other day I thought to show off a little of my learning at the dinner table. It was not an extraordinary dinner, and I asked what did it cost. They Agured it out to be about 75 cents. Then I remarked that the capital in vested in procuring this unpretending meal was not lees than five hundred the* effered to amead so ml I lines af dollar* stadgasai meat to five million men. for many ships aad many railroads.

A mass of coagu lated blood covered his face aud neck nnd he presented n shocking appear ance. He arose the moment we en tered, pushed the chair forward to ward the general, rnd said, with a bow and smifo, “ Here, take my chair, sir.’’ Gen. Grant looked at him, and replied: “ Ah, you need that chair much more than I; keep your seat. I see you are badly hurt.” The officer answered good naturedly: “ If you folks let me o back to our lines 1 think I ought to e able to get a leave to go backnome and see my girl; but I reckon she wouldn’t know me now.” The general said, “I will see that one of our sur geons does all in his power for you,”, and then stepped out of the room.. He told one of the surgeons who was dressing the wounds of our own men to do what he oould for the Confeder ate. We did not hear what became of him afterward. He probably never knew that he had been talking to the f eneral in chief of the Yankee armies, 'be dispatches were afterwards writ ten in another room.

The campaign was at oaoe started on aew line*, and the prohibition speakers all began to talk dispensary. Of course it met with bitter opposition from the advocates of barrooms. Hon. Pope Barrow, ex-Unlted States Sena tor, and now one of the leading law yers of Savannah, denounced the proposition from the stamp, and said he would risk his legal reputation that such a law would not stand the test of -the Supreme Court. Capt. W. B. Burnett, and other brilliant lawyers, fought the proposition from every stump in the county. But "the Idea took with the people, and many changes were made. The election came off, and both sides were at the polls. The vote was close and hotly contested. Mr. Will Dorsey took off his coat against the dispensary, and had he been supported strongly woflld have carried the day. But when the vote was counted it was found that the liquor men were defeated by only seven majority. In accordance with their promise a committee of Athenians went to At lanta to get their dispensary bill through. Here again they met with opposition, but ae the members were assured’ that it was a compromise measure, and the will wf th* people, It mnsaBmiea.law.aiid the first dispen sary in America opened Its doors.

The use of fruit is increasing yearly; only n little ar ument is needed to urge a more liberal use of it in sick ness and in health. Nothing Is more grateful to the convalescent than de licious fruit juices, which have often proved a specific in various diseases. If our bilious friends would leave their liver pills and study nature in her most smiling and bounteous mood and would allow her to tempt them as Eve tempted Adam, they would take to fruit and try pleasant, natural and healthful methods. The best food te the purest, the most nourishing and that which requires the least outlay of time and money in preparing and serv ing. Nothing answers to this descrip tion more perfectly than fruit.
