ISpecial to News and Courier.] Columbia, S. C., "heb. 21.-In the last hours of the session of the House a sur prising and unexpected thing occurred. An elTort was made to take away from the county. board of control the right to eluc' dispensers who sell beer and place that power entirely in t,he hands of tho State board. It has long been a bone of contention and the troubles and tangles about the beer dis pensers in the cities over 20,000 are fresh in the minds of the people. The Attorney General held that the county boards, and not the State boards, should select the beer dispensers. It appears that an innocent, little county government bill of Mr. Itaysor was sac riliced in the hope of getting through a bill, ont a free conference report which sought, to give the State board the right to elect the beer dispensers The free conference went to work to adjust, differences on a county govern ment bill and brought out a bill on the election of ber dispensers. Mr. Raysor's bill was useless, as it had been covered in the general law, and was used as .the skoleton for the beer dis pe- sary bill. No such bill was offered, discussed or passed by the House. It had been presented in the Senate and was there a second reading bill. The ground for the report. on free con ference was that it was simply to cor rect the statute and make It read as it was intended to read last year. REPOl' 01 ilE CON1"OItEES. The report of the free csnference committee follows: A bill to amend an Act entitled "An Act to amend "An Act entitled an Act to provide for the county govern ment of the various counties of this State,' approved the 6th day of March, 1899," approved February 19, 1900." The committee respectfully report that they have carefully considered the same and recommerd that the title thereof and all the enacting words be stricken out and the following be in sert,ed in liu thereof: A bill to author ize and empower the bo-1rd of directors of the State dispensary to grant per mits for the csttlishmlentt aid opera tion of dispensaries for the sale of beer by retail or otherwise in cities over 20, 000 population, and to provide for bond ing of the holders of such perinite ani to 14ppoint said dispensers. lie it enacted by the General Assemn bly of the State of South Carolina: Section 1. l'hat the board of d irec tors of the State dispensary be, and they are hereby, authorized to grant permits for the establishment and operation of dispensaries for the sale of beer by retail or otherwise in all the cities In this State of over 20,000 p)opu lation, and they are further autthor'ized toapploit. the disptensers who shall con diuct, the said establishment,s. Section 2 That the said permits shall be of force antd contInue for a time of four years unless sooner revoked for caurse by the State board of directors. And the holders thereof shall have power t,o manufacture, bottle arid sell by retail or ofihes wise, beer accord ing to the restrictions now p)rovidesd by Section 3. That the holders of such ptermit+ shrall be required to give bond In the samte amount and be approved In' the same spanner as it is now provided by hra for bonds of county diap)enscrs. W. C. I-ough, Win. Ilderton, J. T. Douglass, commtittee on tiart of' Senate. W. 0. Tatum, Fred H-. D)ominick, Thbos. B. lintler, cornmmittee Ont part of Hlouse, MR ILiOMlNIOR 'S EXPtLrANATION. Mr. Doinick stat,ed that possibly some explanation was due from the committee on the free eon ference as to why a substit,ute bill was inserted. He said that during the closing hourrs of the last session a ftree contfereneoon mittee reported a bill1 to give the State board directors the potwer to grant per mite for the establishment of brew crIes, dilstilleries and establish ments or the bottling and sale of beer In cities of over twenty thousand inihabi tants. The Attirney General ruled that on account of failutre to provIde bond and other minor matters in the Act no addItional ptower was vested In the State hoaurd of directors. In large eities.a b'eu r establishtment has to Invest $15,000 to $20.000, and the county tboardi cart only elect, for one year, and this p)rfyides that on tIs account they should be elected for fouri years, and at the same time bet removed from local andt county politics. He believed sulliclent, notice had bueenr given in that intention of the ptresent. House, as ex pressed In t,he Act passed last year, was to give the board this power, arnd that 1)1bi had been in trodieeed int the Senate. Hie wanted the liouso to stand by its former acting arid further stat,ed that the only reason that, this law is not made of force is on account of the urnfavortable trulIng of t he Attorney General's .m11e. When the [louse received the report Mtr. Wintgo, Mr Williamrs, Mr. Kibler and others made points rand arguments ott the matter, and were very emp)hat,io in opposi5ng legistationt by free con IIOT SHOT FOR TIHEI' SUnSTiTPUTE. Mr. Izlar was ver'y emphatIc in op onngn isitn.tlon by free conference eommtittees, and hold that it was un constitutional, and to say the least, it was hunWISC, unaUthorized and excop tional law-making. Mr. izlar was vig orotus in his position. Mr. Ashley agreed with him. Mr. Williams asked if the report was competent under the rules, being upon a dilferent, subject to that, which went to conference. Mr. Moses who was in the uhair, preferred to leave the ques tion to the house. Mr. Dominick said ho thought a free conferenco committee could chango an ontiro bill and said he had the author ity of some of the host parilamentarians for this position. '11 0 l-: 1,1 K III1) . The Ilouso rejected the committee report and in this way the dispensary bill was killed. The killing of the conference roport in the House avoided the necessity of reporting the matter to the Senate . LAST YMEAl'S DISPENSARlY AC'. The following Is the lBeer D)ispen sar. Act passed last year, and which was the basis for the report: "Provided, also, that the State board of directors may grant privileges for tho oreotion and operation of breweries distilleries, and establishments for the bottling and sale of bet, styled beer dispensaries, in cities of over 20.00 populaiton, to be operated as now prc scribed by law." TIle CLOSING SCENE.S. Columbia, February 22 -The Gene ral Assembly has adjourned sine die. No great epoch has been marked. It was an ordinary, a diligent and mod erate and good-natured session. Noth lig radical was done The lawmakers went home in a good humor. Mr. Ba cot, of Charleston, had the customary privilege of making the motion to ad journ in the houso. After Messrs. ifird, Prince and Kibler had notified the Governor that the house had fin ished its work and awaited further ad vices, if any, the house and senate passed final courtesies through Acting Clerk Gibbos and Clork It Rt. Ilemphill. Secretary Aull reported that tthu;money bills had all been signed and the House could adjourn, and as the city bell struck 6 the 15 or 20 remain ing members voted with glad ac claim that the House adjourn sine die, and the Senate followed a few minutes later. To-day was an ordinary grind to ratify bills, except that the beer dis pensary free conference report bobbed up again by a statement being tiled by two Senators, who suggested that they had been fooled, but, admitted that they had not read the propos"d law giving the State board the right to elect beer dispensers in cities of over 20,000. Two nienbers of the Hlouse committee made statements that, they also signed a report meaning a great deal and that they never read the paper. The re sult was that an investigation was or dered under a concurrent resolution into the whole matter. TillE I)SP' NSAItY SENSATION. 'he beer dispensary matter was the absorbing top)ic of the day, and it has wound up in an invesigating commit tee. Soon aft,er the IIouse met this mor-i ing there came over from the Senate this uneOxpected and unusual common lction: Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House: We, as members of a commit tee of free conference on the part of the Senate on bill 581, dlesire to state that we signed the report of the free conference committee when very busy and without even lookcing over the matter submitted to the committee for' its cotsolderation, but taking the as stiranice of Mr. Fred H. Dominiok, of the Ihouse, that the said reports was all right and of no genetral consequence. Neither of us was present at any delib eration as to said report and knew nothing whatsoever of its provisions except from the statement made by Mr. Dominick, as above mentioned. W. C. IHough, J. T. Douglass. Members of the House thought it, about as well to drop the mnatter and let it rest there. M r. Weston moved to table the communication. Just about this time Mr D3minick camne into the hall and inquired as to theepecial mes sage. He asked that it be read to him, and after this was done, with a great deal of feeling, he asked that before the matt,er be tabled he be allowed to make a statement. He did not, see wihy he should be singled out, for an attack, but he was responsible for all he had done and was anxious to assume the full responsibility for all that he'had done., He wont on to say that the Sen ators signed she report of their own free will and accord. As to the Senator from Lancast,er, he would say that he went to him in advance of taking hlis Ithe report and had a talk with him about the very matter, lie explained to him that the law as passed at the ls session ought to be perfect,ed, and out lined how the remedy could be applied and the Senator toild him that he woukc help him to perfect the law, and he noiw thought it, unfair for the Senator t< take the position that, he (lid. As to the S'nator ftrom Florence, the matter was fully explained to him.4 A to the Senatort from Union, when thi paper was taken to him he said he di( not care to know anything about it, as all of tho otbers, excepting himself had signed, and he supposed it was al right, and ho signed. lie and Mr. Lide of Orangobnrg, took the 'paper to th Senator and were willing to make th. explanat ion, bsut there seemed t.o b no desire to get it, and1 tbey were ou off from goting ainy furt.her. There we no meeting of the committee of fre conference, a had been st.ated. WH I GOODS SAEI Nainsooks, Fancu Stripes, Dimities, Checked Muslins, Lawns.

COPELAND BROTHERS, Leaders in Dry Goode, Clothing and Shoea, Newmerry S. n Mr. Williams and Mr. Ashley thought the Senators ought to stand by their own carelessness it not reading a pa per hofore signing It. Ir. lutler, who was on the e;ominit tee on the part of the House, said that. dio was willing to assumo his full share of the responsibility for his careloss nes. Ito did not read the report bofore he signed it and took his full responsi bility for not having read the same. Nir. 'l'atuin, also of the conlmittee, said that. he did not read the st.atto mten t.. ''he statement, from tle Sena-tors was then tablad. Ltter on there camto oyer the eot curron t resolution that a joint conmmit too be appointed to Investigate tihe whole matter and report upon the facts of the ease. Mr. Ilease saw no necessity for the things to go any further, but was wil ling for the Hiouse todo it as it thought bost. Air. Dominick hoped that the reso lution would be concurred in, as he courted the fullest investigation. ir. Logan said tl.at as M r. )omi nick wished tho inqutirv, ho thought. the House ought to grant it as a cour tesy to a member. Mr. Butler said he was willing to assume his responsIbility and he would say to the comnmitteo what he had al ready stated. The house thon concurred in the senate resolut-ion. Mr. Bleaso then stated that as the senators had, ho unddrstoed, printed their card in the Senato Journal, the house might as well do the satne and at the same time that Mr. Dominick might be able to publish a card in reply if he so wished. Mr. Dominick stated that, he would like to publish a card In the Journal under that of the two Senators. Thu consent wias granted, and the card of the senators, as given above was put in the House Journal and under it the following statemeti,t from Mr Dominick: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Senat,e: As to the commnication of Senators Hlough and Douglass, publish ed in Senate Journal in connect,ion with Senate bill No. 531, 1 desire to state that no misrepresent,ation what ever was mutade to any of the Senators or other member of the committee. Senator Hough was on the committee on free conference, as can be clearly, shown by the Journal of tbo Senato, when the bill was passed last year, which the present report atsem pted to perfect. I emphatically state that Air. lough was informed before his ap pIointient on this conference c:mmit tee of the object I had in view, and he told mne ho was willing to stand by his action of last year As to Senator liderton, ho was told of the bill, and, after being fully and truthfully ex plained to him, he readily signed it. As Senator Douglass will say that ho did not look at the report and d Idl not ask for an explanat ion and no titsrepresen tat ion was made to him about the mat ,e'. lie simply said, as he saw tb matjo)rity of tbe senate and all of thme h ouse |com mu,ttee itadl si gitod .it., thtat heo would also sign.
