The course taken by our representatives in applying the dispensary profits to the support of the county chaingang is wise, and we heartily commend their action. The present legislature has shown more ?&. of a disposition towards vicious and ex' travagant legislation than any of recent years. If some members were left alone they would soon bankrupt the State. As between U. X. Gunter, Jr., and W. F. Stevenson for attorney general, this paper will support Stevenson, for the re> x ason that, in our opinion, he is not be com. pared with Gunter when it comes to legal ability. If Mr. Gunter has any reputation as a lawyer; we have not heard of it. We cannot endorse Senator Mayfield's bill to establish a State fertilizer factory. The spirit and purpose of the bill are admirable, but we very much fear that politics would be injected into the management of such a factory.There are too many of the faithful standing around wanting jobs. j>? r;' m After all the hurrah and talk about establishing a home for Confederate soldiers, the legislature does not seem to take kindly to the proposition. However, a V bill has passed the Senate that no Confederate soldier shall be put in a county I>oor house, but shall be paid his support in cash. We do not Nvant to see any old soldier in a poor house, whether in his county or a so-called Confederate home. ^r. The Co-operative Medicine Co., of Cinvf cinnati, Ohio, is another set of swindlers with which this paper has recently come in contact. After running their advertisement three months they offered us stock in the company as payment, which was refused, and now they will not even answer our letters. Every unreliable house which this paper has lost money on was given a good report by the mercantile agencies. The moral is that you can't trust the reports of a mercantile agency as to the reliability of a patent medicine 9 * house. The safe rule is to require cash in advance. - ?? / Our representatives should be very careful in the fixing of the salaries for the officers of this county. The salary should be proportionate to the amount of work done. Our Supervisor gives his whole time to the duties of his office and furnishes a horse and buggy at his own expense, yet he receives less than some officials who have no such expense. Let the salaries be fixed on an equitable basis, and no one will have any reason to complain. They should also bear in mind that our county is in bad shape financially, and do everything in their power to remedy the deficiency. Review of the Legislature. In his review of the work of the present session of the legislature and forecast of what is likely to be done, August Kohn says in the biews and Courier: The general assembly is getting along >, with its work very well. It could easily get through with its session in ten days . more out it win not ao so. i ne "wnys and wherefores" are many, but there does not seem to be much doubt about the fact that the legislators are going to take the full limit and draw their forty days' pay. The house and senate have both done a great deal of work, and if the calendars were sifted, it would be found that there is really very little necessary legislation pending. " The house has sent over to the senate the redistricting bill and that measure has been made a special order in the senate for Tuesday. The jury bill has been practically agreed upon. The senate threshed over the whole matter and ' finally framed a bill that was acceptable. Then the house judiciary commtittee re- , J# ported on the senate bill and yesterday the house adopted the bill with only one unimportant amendment, and the jury bill will be ready for ratification before j the trip to the Charleston exposition?the first act of the session. The general salary bill has been about agreed upon by the senate and it will be , very much like it was with the jury bill. J The salaries that have been put in the bill ( in the senate have been pretty generally agreed upon at meetings of the various connty delegations, so that when the bill comes over from the senate with the salaries fixed they will be generally acceptable to the house, especially where there : _ have been delegation agreements. Thus 1 it will be seen that the redistricting, the ' i adoption of the code, jury and county officers' salaries bills are already practically out of the way. A number of matters tbat might have 1 been of great importance have been dis- i posed of in one of the two branches. The senate is rid of the child labor proposition. The house committee has agreed upon a substitute bill, which' will have a rough time to get through the house in any shape. The advocates of child labor legislation say that they would be satisfied with almost any kind "of legislation just so that they can make a start and get in ; an entering wedge. Those who oppose any parental interference or legislation , prejudicial to the growing textile interests : of the state are equally as anxious that ' nothing be done to interfere with the prosperity of the cotton mills. There has been a good deal of talk, excitement and hurrah about corporation and anti trust legislation. It seems to have about petered out so far as results are now expected. Pays Pearly for His Hug. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Feb. 4.?Joseph Ziegler, the cigar dealer of this city, who hmbp nnp r\f \fioc ^Jollio Whito'o riho while squeezing her and then refused to pav the doctor who attended the young lady, to-day settled with Miss White's attorneysLand the case will not reach court. It is understood that Ziegler consented to pay not only the doctors bill, but the attorney's fees and all costs in connection with the case. Miss White refused to accept any money. She says the suit would not have been brought in the first place had not Ziegler torn up the physician's bill when it was sent to him. It is said that when the bill reached Ziegler he thought it was a joke.

The burden of such a title would have idled most men, sooner or later. 1% K? *. we The Fertilizer Bill. The bill introduced by Senator S. G. Mavfield in the senate, to establish one or more fertilizer plants to be owned and operated by the State, is of such general interest that we publish it in full: Sec. 1.

About ten years ago I witnessed an unusual occurrence in the circuit court room at London, Ky. Judge Robert Boyd was the presiding justice. One morning, shortly after the court had opened, Andrew Jackson, the foreman of the grand jury, appeared before the judge in charge of a woman, who, he stated, had refused to testify before the grand jury. The judge, with a very polite bow, said to the woman: "Madam, it is your duty to tell anything you may know about any violations of the law in this county, except, of course, such as may have taken place in your immediate family. It would be very "disagreeable to me to have to punish you in any way, and I trust that you will go at once arid answer the questions that may be asked by the foreman of the grand jury." "I'll be domed if I do," she said with a withering look of scorn. "Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of $10 against mis woman, saiu me eourt. now, madam, you go and testify to this jury at once." "You go to h?1, you durued old fool," the woman retorted. "Mr. Sheriff, take her to jail," roared the judge. "And hain't I already in jail for selling whiskey, and brought out of jail to testify?" she said, and with an inimitable toss of her head she passed out of the court room. Being very fond of the judge, and quite intimate with him, I arose and said to him, as if I had not fully gathered what had been going on: "May I inquire of your honor what the lady is charged with?" "I don't know know, sir; but I think she is charged with dynamite," replied the court with a look of exasperation.? Governor Bradley's Stories of Kentucky Life.

At one of the reunions of the Army of the Cumberland several former officers of the Union army fell to discussing the wounds they had received during the civil wjir At. Inst, one of their number turned I to Colonel B., a tall, line, soldierly looking man, who had remained silent during the discussion, and said : "Well, colonel, you seem to be the only one of the party who escaped uninjured.' "Oh, no 1 didn't," answered the colonel quickly. "I was shot at Antietam. A bullet went through my nose, taking the gristle out." He wriggled his nose from side to side to prove the truth of his statement. "Ah, well, you were quite fortunate, after all," said Major M., consolingly. "If the bullet had struck half an inch further in, your soul would have been launched into eternity." "Yes," said the colonel, "and if the blamed thing had gone a half inch further out it wouldn't have hit me at all."

The Chicago Chronicle says: One of the most charming reconteurs in Milwaukee society is Mrs. Thomas H. Bowles. She is a Georgian and knows the Negro dialect to perfection. Nothing could be more finished than her darkey stories. Here is one of her best: A young man was telling anecdotes to a circle and one of his listeners was his mother-in-law. He related one about a funeral. A woman had died. The undertaker at the close of the services at the house said to the bereaved husband : "You will ride in the tirst carriage with your mother-in-law." "I decline to ride with that woman," said the widower. She has made my life miserable. To ride with her would spoil all the pleasure of the occasion." All laughingly appreciated the humor of the storj- except the young man's mother-in-law. "Why don't you laugh?" he asked. "It was a good story." "Oh," she replied, "I was thinking of another story about a colored mir .ster who prayed one day for rain, like this : " 'Oh, Lord, sen' us a rain. Thou knowest dat de craps is a-spiling.

"My little boy took the croup one night and soon grew so bad you coula hear him breathe all over the house," says F. D. Reynolds, Mansfield, 0. "We feared he would die, but a few doses of One Minute Cough Cure quickly relieved him and he went to sleep. That is the last we heard of the croup. Now isn't a cough cure like that valuable?"

Perfect silence reigned for a whole hour, while the knight of the palette diligently went on with his work. At last, the bishop, becoming weary of the dreary monotony, ventured to remark: "How are you getting on?" Absent-mindedly the artist replied: "Move your head a little that way and shut your mouth." His lordship, annoyed at the apparently discourtesy, then said: "May I ask why you address me in this manner?" Still absorbed in his work, the artist unconcernedly answered: "I want to take off a little of yonr cheek." Working Overtime.

He Wai a Bra-re and Uaeful Member of Oar Early Society. Tradition sometimes plays strange pranks with dead men's reputations. It would make an interesting half hour for the eavesdropper beyond the Styx if he could hear the exchange of amenities between Duns Seotus and Judge Lynch, the one a shrewd, clear reasoner, whose name now signifies a fool; the other a simple Quaker gentleman, whose name has come to stand for organized savagery. Charles Lynch was a man whose (services to his country as a brave pioneer and righteous judge, as a soldier and a statesman, are by no means deserving of oblivion, still less of obloquy. It seems indeed one of the iniquities of fate that his name should now be universally applied to proceed ings that 110 one would condemn more ! heartily than he. The records of the court of Bedford county, In Virginia, and those of various Quaker meetings, the journals of the Virginia house of burgesses and of the first constitutional convention, taken together with ! family documents and traditions, show him to have been an upright and useful member of society and a wise and energetic leader at the most important crisis of American history?Atlantic. Volunteer* In South America. There is a gentleman in Boston who spent a number of years among the j various little South American republics and who gives an interesting account of the methods of one of these small states when it comes to a question of making war. The "navy" of I the particular power referred to consists of a single old fashioned side wheel steamer, armed with one gun. 1in time of peace she is engaged in hauling freight up and down the river which runs close to the capital. At the outbreak of one of the periodical wars not so very long ago the president of the republic took charge of the steamer and started up stream on a recruiting expedition, leaving his senior general in charge of the military preparations at the capital. A couple of days later the steamer returned, and some seventy miserable looking natives, each firmly bound with a strong rope, were marched off and turned over to the general, with a note from the president which read: Dear General?I send you herewith seventy volunteers. Please return the ropes at once. ?Boston Herald. Didn't Reeoffnlie It. A distinguished member of the United States judiciary has discovered that he still has something to learn in the direction of agriculture. He bought a farm as a summer home for his family and finds especial delight in walking about the place, commenting on the condition of the crops and in many ways showing his interest in his new possessions. One eveniug during the summer he was strolling over the farm. The hired man had cut the grass during the day, a fhln nrnn ond hnd lpft It lvint* U ?Vt J ?U?U ?* % -? ? - w 0 on the ground to dry. The Judge saw it, and, calling his man, he said: "It seems to me you are very careless. Why haven't you been more particular in raking up this hay? Don't you see that you have left little dribblings all around?" For a minute the hired man stared, wondering if the judge was quizzing him. Then he replied: "Little dribblings! Why, man, that's the crop!" The Prayer That Hurt. A member of a certain Massachusetts parish, prominent for his thrift and personal consequence, was also notorious for his overbearing assumptions and pompous airs. Under the distress and fright of a dangerous illness he "put up notes" on several successive Sundays, and after his recovery, according to usage, he offered a note to be read by the minister expressive of his thanks. The minister was somewhat "large" in this part of his prayer, recalling the danger and the previous petitions of the "squire," and returning his grateful acknowledgments with the prayer that the experience might be blessed to the spiritual welfare of the restored man. He closed with these words: "And we pray, O Lord, that thy serv ant may be cured of that ungodly strut, so offensive In the sanctuary." Middle Agea Burials. In the middle ages founders and patrons of ecclesiastical buildings began to be buried nearer and nearer to the fabric of the church or cathedral. First the porch, then the cloister, then the chapter house or chantry, came under demand; the chancel was next encroached upon, and lastly burials were allowed uuder the altar Itself.

On one occasion, when he was recorder of Shrewsbury, a prisoner, who was something of a hypocrite, tried at a quarter sessions to melt his heart with tc-ars. "Have you never been in prison?" asked Mr. Jelf, in soothing tones. "Never, my lord?never," was the reply. "Well, don't cry," the recorder replied. "That can easily be remedied.

Aiken*, February 2.?Mr. Langdon Clieves Ligon died at his home here hist evening after an illness of nine weeks, lie was the senior editor of the Journal and Review, with which he had been identified for about twenty-five years. Mr. Ligon was born in Abbeville and learned the printing trade under Mr. Hugh Wilson, in the Press and Banner office. He was 45 years of age. His loss to Aiken will be great, for he had given much of his time and energy in upbuilding and beautifying the town. He leaves a widow, two sisters and three brothers, two of them being Presbyterian ministers in the upper part of the "State. At the Shanghai police court recently a curious object was handed up to the bench for inspection. It was contained in a square yellow box, and resembled nothing more than a piece of black wax. It weighed about two ounces, and the policeman in charge of the case explained to the court that it was a Chinese medicine compound of monkey's toe-nails boiled down and hardened by being underground for a number of years. It had been stolen from a native apothecary's shop in Nanking. Monkey's toe-nails, it appears, are a well known remedy among the Chinese for stomach troubles. No.Hope For Him.
