HYDRICK ELECTED CHIEF JUSTICE ON THE 42ND BALLOT-WHEELS OF LEGISLATIVE HILL CLOGGED -STATEWIDE PROHIBITION IMPROBABLE. The Capitol, Columbia, February 16:?On Thursday night Judge D E Hydrick was, on the forty-second ballot, elected associate instice of the supreme court to succeed lion Ira B i , Jones, elevated to the chief-jus ! ticeship. The tinal voce was Hydrick 103, Cothran 5*, Hon J C F Sheppard's name having been j I withdrawn at the close of the; P fortj'-tirst ballot. At about the i thirtieth ballot the entire Williamsburg'delegation, regarding him the equal ot any man in the j race and believing it their duty to do all in their power to bring about an election, went to Judge Hydrick and thereafter voted for him to the end. This action ^ of our delegation was his first L substantial gain and was the HBPbeginn'ng of the end. Justice will unfar intd nlVirp rm FliyUULIV. Mill VH?.v? ?uvv V.MW April 15. Should the Assembly adjourn j next Saturday,at which time the usual forty days will expire, very few new laws will go upon the statute books. Not a single! measure of general interest has been finally voted upon. Not more than fifteen or twenty acts have been ratified and all are either local or of small importance. A bill has passed the lower House providing lor an election in Colleton,Dorchester and Fairfield counties this year upon the question of "dispensary" and "no dispensary-', without the preliminary petition. Bt \^rhe State-wide prohibition j measures went under discussion J f in the "wind factory", to wit:' the House, Friday, and since I +hic cnVkier-t has nrovoked iil^U kU 10 tJ U WJVV ? ?* V.? * r much and more and most talk and filibustering. The bill will very probably pass that body, but by no means will the majorbe as large as that given the ^^Kamebill a year ago. No one can say what the action of the Sen^^ ate will be, but the writer's im^^ pression from the little that has leaked out so far is that the sum total of the final result ot all the Hp noise will be that the Assembly will adjourn without a prohibiflr tion law being enacted or, at H most, provision will be made r tor a State election on the subject of prohibition and local op *v~? m i\- ?i v^v\ i?\r\ m /v^ m <A-i " v-* t y Good and STAR BRAND > ? j "all up-to-date. The Pe tion as to county dispensaries. Of course this impression may j t>e wliollv wrontr. and it is jriven only for what it is worth. There) is unquestionably a strong de-j maud throughout the State for a! general law prohibiting the sale [ ol liquors, yet there is no deny- J ing the fact- that some of the j most profound and most power-! ful prohibitionists of the land > are of the opinion that our local option county dispensary sys- ; tern, which has in two years j made one-half of the State .''dry" j of its own volition, will bring j! true prohibition sooner and bet- : ter than any other statute proposed , j1 The lien law has been up in, the House, but no mention of it has been heard in the Senate i I other than the effort to have it1 made a special order, which'1 ,ii,, |) uuieu aif^uaiiy. The several bills relating- to tish and game introduced by Senator Bass have provoked in the Senate probably as much attention as any subject so far considered. By the side of the ( liquor and lien law questions these bills may seem of small ; moment,but as was said by Sen- , ator Christensen on the lloor of the Senate last Thursday, "there., is nothing that is of more vital importance to the farmers of; the State than the matter of the. protection of birds and our -r\or.nl*? mnrh* tn he terri nnuit U\.v|/AV v?. bly in earnest in the matter of j regulating the taking of fish and game." The railroad commissioners have ordered an inquiry into the matter of the freight rates on \ fertilizers as the result of a visit j of the sub-committee, of which , Mr Bryan was a member, of the i House committee on Agriculture. By the way, Mr Bryan is the third ranking member of that committee. It has come to the writer s ears that Mr Carter, although he has had little,to say on the lloor of the House, is one of the most prompt, painstaking and useful members of the Ways and Means committee, the most important j of all committees. Mr Graham may a little slow, but he "gits there just the same." Whenever his name is called it is answered and Williamsburg will not be imposed on so long as his na*e is called. When a vote is polled his name will be found where his good sense tells him it ought to be.

This measure will be of much benefit to tobacco growers, and the author of the bill takes this opportunity to thank Mr L A Winston of Lake City for suggesting the main features of the measure. It is the intention of Senator Bass to offer a bill next session for gatheringcotton statistics along somewhat similar lines. Solicitor T SSease of Spartan burg has just been elected judge of the 7th circuit, to succeed Judge Hydrick. Senator Otts is an applicant for Mr Sease's position as solicitor. Judges Prince and Memminger were reelected without opposition. The repeal of the lien law is up for consideration in the Senate tonight. W. L. B. MULES! II Mr. Farmer: Do you need young mule?

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY OBSERVED?MATTERS OF INTEREST IN BOTH BRANCHES OF CONGRESS. Washington, I) C,February 15:? By a joint resolution late 011 the 12th inst, Congress made provision for the observance of Friday, th* 12tb, the centennial of the birth of Lincoln,as a special holiday and the President's proclamation confirmed the action of Congress, making it effective in the District ofColum bi?, Alaska, Arizona, New Mexico and Hawaii. In anticipation of the parage of the resolution, after he had departed for Lincoln's birthplace in Kentucky, the President had prepared and signed a proclamation which was issued as soon as the joint resolution had been signed by Vice President Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon, Near the cjose of the session ot ttie House of Representatives, Mr Boutelle of Illinois delivered a eulogy on Lincoln of such force and simplicity that I will venture to quote it here believing it cannot have a too wide circulation: "No rtiler ever faced so hard a task, or one beset with so many pitfails as that which confronted Lincoln when he entered the Presidency. During all his term of service he had to deal, not only with open enemies, but with secret foes, faithless friends and unscrupulous rivals. "He endured the whips and scorns of time with unfailing patience and serenity, sometimes diverting the force of the heaviest blows with the shield of humor; and day after day he bore without a murmur a load of care that would have crushed a spirit that hud not been nobly consecrated. "But in the night watches, when deep sleep falleth upon men, he trod alone the loftiest heights of human thought, communed in solitude with God, drank deep from the cool cisterns of Christian charily and came * - A Via V* no f DaCK 10 tne UUIUCUS auu mc iiiitk VI another day with his soul purged of all envy, hatred and malice and all uncharitableness and with the light of inspiration in his deep-set eyes. We shall search m vain the messages,speeches and letters of Lincoln for one impatient,harsh or contemptuous word directed against those who differed with-him or sought to thwart his designs." The President has returned from Kentucky where he went to officiate at the laying of the corner stone at the old Lincoln homestead in Larue county and to deliver an address there. The other speakers were ex iS= | COON COLLARS, I I xBamnamB || Governor Folk of Missouri and the Secretary of War, Mr Wright. President-elect Taft is expected in Washington 011 Tuesday, where he will ho.d a conference with the President and some friends and it is probable that at this time an authoritative statement will be made of the results of bis inspection of the inter-oceanic canal. | There was an interesting episode in the Senate Friday when LaFollette of Wisconsin standing alone 1 held tip the United States Senate 1 ami nrpvented the consideration of I ? the navjil appropriation bill, forcing an adjournment until Monday, in*' volving a loss of two days' time notwithstanding the fact that but fifteen legislative days of the short session i remain.

BOtTLLIOUN, ?J18 State St., Little Rock, Ark., writes: [ "I hare been a sufferer with the asthma for about four years, and I tried different kinds o/ medicines and could not find any relief for it. "I tried your medicines, bought a bot| tie of Peruna, and after taking ab$>ut half of it I must say that I have not had the asthma since. Before 1 took the tm>dicine I did uot know what it was to go to bed without havinc the asthma." Systemic Catarrh. ! Mr. Samuel Burden, 701 Springfield Ave., Summit, N.
