THE GOVERNOR^ MKSSAGE.

SYNOPSIS OF THE SUGGESTIONS OF
OUR CHIEF MAGISTRATE.
An Exhaustive Review of the Financial,
Educational and Industrial Conditl n of
the ?tate-An Able and Intere6tine Paper.
On the first day of the present session
of the Legislature Governor
Thompson submitted the customary
message to the General Assembly.
The first matter considered is
THE PUBLIC DEBT,
which is now $6,522,188.54, consisting
of Brown consols, valid Green consols,
deficiency bonds, and agricultural land
scrip.
THE REVENUES Oi" THE STATE.
The total revenaes of the State and
counties for the fiscal year commencing
November 1, 1883, "was about $2,080,000,
of which about $1,930,000 was
raised by taxation, and $153,000 from
phosphate royalty. The collection of
the taxes was unusually full and satisfactory,
nearly 98 per cent, of the
assessed State tax having been collected,
and nearly 8G per cenr. having been
paid into the treasury. The net receint
for each mill levied was S145.000.
being an increase of $4,000 over the
preceding year, and $25,000 over the
year 1878-79. The taxes for the fiscal
year 1884-85 arc now being collected,
3nd the result cannot, therefore, be
reported. The levy amounts to $1,831,494,
divided as follows: For State,
$841,526; for counties. $677,148, and
for schools, $312,820, not including
palls.
It is estimated- that it will require
$403,000 io meet the ordinary ex-,
peuses of the Government for the fiscal
year 18885-SO, and $391,000 to pay the
interest on the public debt These
amounts wili be increased by such
additional appropriations as may be
required by legislation, and will be
.decreased by the phosphate royalty
an&a&y Surplus that snay remain iu
the treasury- As these amounts are j
contiBgent,andconsequeutly unknown,
he necessary levy can only be determine
when the Genera* Assembly
prepares the annual supply bill.
TEE PHOSPHATE BOYALTY.
The.phosphate royalty for the year
ending 30 September, 1885, amounting
to $176,244.41, has been collected
iu fall? being the largest sum yet covered
into the treasury from this source.
TKa fKa vfioi* onHiurr Sinn

tember, 1886, will probablv not exceed
$150,000.
DISABLED SOLDIERS.
Commenting npon the recommendation
of the Comptroller, that $30,000 annually
be appropriated for a pension
of $30 each to disabled soldiers, the
Governor says: "The State can never
rally discharge her obligations to the
b$?ve men who, in obeaience to her
call, have suffered permanent injury in
health or in limb; bat she should contribute,
if possible, to the alleviation
of the wants of such of them as are
without the means of support, and are
incapacitated for manual labor by
reason of disabilities incurred in the
discharge of duty. While those who
can claim this recognition' of services
to the State diminish in number each
year, xbe infirmities of the survivors,
and their need for hel?, constantly increase."
THE TAX LAWS.
The Governor recommends a careful
revision of the tax laws, with a view
to greater simplicity and efficiency.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
continue to improve, me unnioer ot
pupils enrolled in the public schools
during the year just closed was 178,023,
of which 78,45S were white and
99,565 were colored; the average attendance
was 122,093. of which 55,664
were white, and 66,429 were colored.
The number of teachers employed was
S,77S, being an increase oi eighty-nine
over the number employed during the
preceding year; and tiie number of
schools was 3,562, being an increase of
eighty oyer the number in operation
during the year 1883-84. The length
oi tne scnooi ierm was mree ana a
half months, a decrease of half a
month. The total amount of funds
available for school purposes during
the year 1SS3-84, the latent period for
which reports are attainable, was
$ala,580.S8? of which ?441,599.37 was
collected aunug tne year, ana $/o,-1
98L01 consisted of unexpended balances
brought forward from previous
years. The total amount expeuded
was $428,419.31.
The Governor urges the adoption of
some measure by whicli the school
fund may "catch up" for li e "lost
year", and teachers be paid.
The various educational institutions
of the State are in a flourishing contion.
The State Military Academy now
has four classes, the full number provided
for in tbe course of instruction,
and during the coming yctr it will
send forth its first class of graduates
since its reorganization in October,
TKoro qno nnro 9Afi cfn/lmifo of
AWM* ?uvi V V uv If ?*vv s7Vi?V4 VWkO Ul/
the Sonth Carolina College, and it is
likely that the numbjr will reach 230
shortly. The presenj attendance is the
largest since the war. In concluding
his remarks on the College, the Governor
says: "The leading States of
the Northwest and our sister Commonwealths
of the Soath are rapidly buildin^
nn thoir insritntions of higher
earning. North Carolina has recently
strengthened her university by largely
increased appropriations and by the
addition of several new chairs", and
Virginia has within the last three years
given over $100,000 to her chief seat of
learning. Mississippi has grautecl her
Agricultural College more than $200,000,
and Alabama" and Georgia have
appropriated large sums for the establishment
and support of technical
schools in connection with their State
colleges. These appropriations are
sums safely invested, promising large
ana speeay returns to tne people.
Snch wise and liberal legislation?the
policy of the most progressive States
of the day?was the r?Ie in our own
?sate rrom tne early clays 01 tue centnry
dowa to 1861. * Never has it been
more needed than now, when success
in every pursuit or calling can only be
achieved by intelligent and well
directed, or, in other words, by educated
effort."
THE PENITENTIARY
receives its due share of attention. The
whole number of convicts in confinement
during the year was 1,- .
453. The number on the Slst day of
October was 945, a decrease of li as
compared with the correspond)nor period
of last year. Of this number S26
were colored males, 39 colored females,
75 white males and 5 white females.
The cash receipts tor the fiscal year
were $65,532.16. To this amount, as
showing the earnings of the prison,
must be added $10 917.64 due by contractors,
making $76,449 80 as the
total income for the year. The disbursements
to October 31 were $67,631.55.
To this sum shonld be added
$5,000 due in bank, which will be paid
from the amouttfs to be collected from
the contractors, making the disburse-I
raents for the year $62,631.56.
The income of the penitentiary lias I
been diminished by the inability of the
rtlrApfftrs to hire ont convicts under '
the restrictions contained in the late
Act on the subject.
The Governor suggests that the
directors be authorized to take contracts
lor specific work to be doue under
the supervision of the penitentiary
j officers, and that the State buy land to
be cultivated by the convict? on a
! large scale. He*also rages the estab!
lishment of a reformatorv school. i?on
cerning the Canal, the manager states i
in his report that, in his opinion, more I
than half of the work necessary for the |
completion of the same is already fin-1
| ished.
I
THE LUNATIC ASYLUM
! has 859 patients, of whom 216 were j
! admitted during the last fiscal year. ;
| The whole appropriation now asked j
: for is ?39.000 less than for the vear
just closed.
In the matter of reforming our system
of
CRIMINAL COURTS
the Governor prefers an increase of the
?nmbec of Circuit Judges, rather than
the establishment of Comity Court?.
If the trial justices arc to be retained,
ne tnmKs tnev snoam receive siatea
salaries, and "be appointed on the recommendations
of the Circuit Solicitors.
The message recommends the early
taking of a census of the State.
THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
The annual report of the department
of agriculture for 1885 includes tho reports
of the commissioner, the chemist,
the special assistant in the phosphate
department and the superintendent of
fisheries. These reports furnish detailed
statements of the operations for
the year, showirg the varied and important
duties with which the department
is charged.
The regular work of the department
has been fully equal to that of previous
years, and much of the time of the
commissioner and his assistants has
been given to the State's exhibit at the
Wni-lrf'c TndnctiMftl s>i^ Pntlnn Ppnt(>n.
"ilia! Exposition. This exhibit was
made by direction of the Legislature,
and represented the natural resources
and manufactured products of the
State. The commissioner makes a
full report, showing the extent and
character of the exhibition, and the
results likely to follow from it. He
thinks there is a strong probability of
the establishment of direct Irade relations
with Japan, in exchange of phos
phatc rock for ammoniating substance?,
so extensively used by South
Carolina manufactnrers of fertilizers:
that the sales of fertilizers manufactured
hero will - be largely increased^
that the agricultural advantages
of the State, as shown by the
products displayed, will attract the
better class of farmers and laborers:
that the mineral resources, as shown
by "the specimen? exhibited, will receive
the attention 'of investors and
| practical -miners; that the Splendid
water power and forestry of South
Carolina, so thoroughly advertised at
the Exposition, and now better known
than ever before, will interest capitalists,
and that the trade of our cotton
manufactures will be extended. The
Japanese commissioner and experts in
wine growing and other industries
have already visited the State, and the
favorable impressions formed justify
the expectation of good results from
their investigations.
The statistics compiled by the department
show the steady agricultural
progress of the Stale. In the staple
crops there is a gradual increase in
production, and each year shows grcaiei*
in th?? ii^o nf lahfir-siMv'ncr
V1 ... ? - " " O
machinery, and In the number and
valne of improved breeds of live stock.
The board of agriculture >has encouraged
experiments in tobacco culture,
and will take sncb steps as are
neccssary to establish regular experiment
stations as soon as the funds of
the department will permit.
The department has a well-equipped
chemical laboratorv, and is prepared
to undertake analysis of fertilizers,
minerals, xc., lor ianners and Miners.
The building contains the offices, ihe
laboratory and a large hall lor agricultural
conventions. The specimens exhibited
at the Cotton Exposition were
lent to the Agricultural Society of
South Caroiinalor the Charleston Exposition;
they will be returned to the
department building.in Columbia, and
will form the nucleus for a permanent
museum.
CONCLUSION.
In closing his message the Governor
says: "In conclusion, I invoke your
attention to the responsible duties for
which von are now assembled, with ;
tbe siiicere wish and the confident hope :
that yonr labors may be wisely directed
to the advancement of the "best interests
of the people."
Groundless Rumors.
"Every now and then," said a prom- '
mum t'mcci wuv id upuu tuu
friendly relations at the White House, :
"there is publised a statement that the
President is dissatisfied with one or 1
his Cabinent Ministers. Nearly every
member of his official household has
had a disagreement with Mr. Cleve- :
land, if newspaper reports are to be ;
credited. ;
Messrs. Bayard, Garland and Yilas
have been particularly mentioned as
coming under the ban ofthe President's 1
displeasure. And now it is again re- !
ported trat ne is dissausned with me
Secretary of State. I happen to know
that these rumors are wholly ground- 5
less. I do not believe a President ever J
got along with his Cabinet more harmoniously
than Mr. Cleveland, and he '
has not, not ever has had, any idea of '
making a change in the head of any one 1
of the departments. The relations between
the President and his advisers
are of the most cordial character, and
nothing that I can see is likely to dis- 1

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
The OI<l Fields of the South.
When a Northern farmer passes i
through the Southern States, he is sur- i
prised, and pained?if of a sensitive
nature?to see so many seemingly bar-;
ren fields; bare, excepting when covered
with the prevailing brown sedge j
of the various, exceedingly poor, j
creeping plants called Japan clover, j
which include several kinds of Lespe- j
<leza. These old fields are scarred !
with gullies, or washes, caused by the i
heavy rains, which loosen the fine red
clay and carry it down the slopes.
Naturally, a stranger thinks these barren
fields to be worn out and worth- i
less. This is a gieat mistake. They j
are turned out to rest, while a piece of i
new ground is cleared and cultivated,
and after a time takes its turn of rest,
and the old field is plowed up and
cropped again. This is the Southern
substitue for manure, and is really a
method?an exceeding:! v poor one, it is
trne?of fallowing. These fields have
never been plowed, to use this word
in its trne sense. They have been,
scratched over, but the soil has never
been turned, and when a Northern
farmer, or an awakened Southern
planter, tears up this soil with a good
turning plow, and seeds it ^own to
grass and clover, the yield i> quite
equal to mac 01 a gooa ikm-i on a
Northern farm. The writer has a
field of thirty acres of clover and Timothy
on land of this character, broken
up "last summer (1884), in August,
plowed twice, harrowed up three
tirans, and sown with the clover and
grass alone. This has been mowed
twice for Hay, vieldiug, in ali, three
tons per acre, aud the aftermath is
now (November) knee-hige, and would
make the finest pasture, were it not
saved for turning under in the spring.
Another old field, seeded with Timothy
and clover with oats, has a perfect
stand; not a seed seems to have
failed to grow," and is better than the
writer has ever grown at the North in
thirtv years' experience. This seems
to be the most profitable way to treat
old fields in the South, and if Southern
farmers would adopt this plau,
and feed stock on the grass in the
winter, the greatest 011 the fair face of
the Sonth would be covered with
beauty and turned to profit. Among
the characteristic plants of the old
field?, iu many localities, are seedling
pines, which are so generally fonnd in
them, as to give the tree the name of
Old Field "Pine, also call Loblolly
Pine. ___
The He? for the South. In
a late number yon ask to hear
from vonr readers who have tried the
Jersey lleds. They were introduced
here 7 or 8 years ago from New Jersey,
the writer taking several. They
were not found adaDted to the circum
stances and needs of the Southern
farmer and were promptly discarded.
They are doubtless a grand hog at
their home in the North, (so are the
Chester whites, which are utterly
worthless here), but in the Gulf States
they will not prove at nil satisfactory.
The New Orleans I'imes Democrat
and the Southern Live-Stock Journal
arc both perfectly correct when they
teach and continue to teach that the
mnct Inc
of breeds from the blacks?Essex,
Berkbhiro and Poland China, 'the
Essex is the prettiest hog of them all

always fat?no matter how kept?and

the breed is rather small and 1 always
had trouble in gettine the young pigs
started?in iact, far too many of them
are born dead, (I am speaking of the
port-bred). For this reason I gave
thein np, though with great reluctance.
The Berkshire is well known. His
blood courses in the veins of thousands
of good hogs all over the land. Anywhere
can ii'e heard "part Berkshire,"
as ample proof that a hog is a good
one. But with his many good points
?not forgetting that most excellent
meat?he is too much inclined to be
mischievous and even viscious and is
not to be tolorated where ranges and
fauces are not firstcluss, and when they
can not be kept separate from the
stock. The Poland Chinas arc not so
generally known. Somewhat coarser
than the blacks, they have all their
good point?, but are" free from the objections
that lie against those breeds.
They are large, yet qnict as the Essex
?almost any sort will control them;
the sows are most excellent mothers
(Mr. Pierson's statement to the contrary
notwithstanding).' The pigs starts
off promptly, grow well and fatten
well at any age. A.s Mr. P. says, they
are "a good corn-crib hog ana lard

Catting: and Caring Corn Fodder.

ivho have no silos, must continue to
ise the old method of drying and preserving
the fodder. The silo adds
lOthhig to the value of the fodder. In
jther words, we may get out of the
silo all the food that goes in, but no
Tiore. And so with the dried corn
rodder. We raav so cure and dry the
iorn so as to retain all the nutriment
here is in it.
On the other hand, we can loose nutriment
in the silo, from excessive fermentation
and otherwise; and we can
rery easily lose equally as much, from
jxposure of the drying: or dried lodder
:o rain, or from mold in the bundles,
shocks or in stacks.
In fact, I have never yet been able
:o stack corn fodder, or to keep it in
Dulk in the bay for any length of
:ime, without considerable injurv and
loss.
In my experience, the most economical
wav of raising and cnrinsr corn
fodder is* 'first, to sow early 011 good
and, in rows wide enough apart to
idmit the nse of the horse-hoe or cul:ivator.
Second, to keep the land
svell cultivated, as long as you get
ihrough the rows with a horse. Third,
jomraon field corn will make good
fodder. A large variety of Southern
;orn, will give, possibly, a large product
per acre, but the smaller and
earlier varieties of flint corn will give
5ne stalks and more leaves. Sweet
;orn is supposed to give sweeter stalks
?perhaps so, perhaps not?a point, on
which facts are needed. I know of no
I
positive prooi.
At any rate, I know that common
;orn, sown early, at the rate of two
md a half to three bushels per acre,
md well cultivated, will give as good
fodder as I want. When cut early,
say the middle of August, it can be
made, with proper care, into genuine
"maize hay," of excellent quality.
Fourth?By letting the crop grow
later, a heavier growth can be sometimes
be attained, but the quality is \
not always so good. At any rate, [ j
would cut the first moment I he crop
! attained maturity, or showed in ox-'
| cessively dry weather, any signs of
drying up.
Jbiftii?I have li:ul a great crop, that
proved quite satisfactory, cut as laieas
the )u>t of September, but :tt this
season, it is not an ea>;y matter to cure
it.
Sixth?Wc cut our corn fodder with
t a self-raking reaper. Kwp the knives
sharp, and take only one row at a
time, asp?'cia!ly it heavy, and do not
maKc ilie punnn-s too large; and any
good reaper will cut the crop better
than it can lie cut by hand.
Seventh?Let the lodder lie in the
bunches on the ground for a few hours,
or for a day or two, to partially cure.
Then bind up into small bundles.
I Eighth?Set the bundles up into
small, compact stacks, and cap them
with a "rider," made by tying two
sheaves together and placing them wit h
the butts up, 011 (he topjof the shock,so

will protect it.
Ninth?Nothing- more need be done
until late in the fall, except to set up
any shocks or-bundles that are blown
down, or, more likely, be so spread
out at the bottom as to be exposed to
the rain.
Tenth?In these stooks, the corn
J 3... -.1?
iouuer, especially mai wmcn is cut
early, will get thoroughly cured, and
one who has had no experience with
corn fodder, will be likely to think that
such well cured "maize hav," may b9
put in a stack or bay, like bundles of
wheat or corn stalks. Bat such is not
the case, and the practical way of
handling a dozen or more acres of
heavy corn fodder is, to make it into
large stooks in the field, and let them
remain there until needed lor feeding

made into one row of large stooks, or
if the crop is not very heavy, five rows
may be taken, two on each side of the
center row, where the large stooks are
to be made. The larger the stooks,
provided they can be compactly make,
and gradually tapering to a point, the
better. The top should be securely
tied with two bands. "We sometimes
use tarreu rope, oui lioimng is uetier
than willow twigs for ties.
See that every part of the work is
well done. The first bundles of the
large stook should stand upright, and
two men, standing on opposite sides
of the stook, should press ?he bundles
together as tight as possible, and continue
to do so as more are added.
Especially press or kick the butts of
the bundles compactly together. A
snrawlintr stook will tie more or dam
aged by snow and ice, and the butts
will be frozen together, and it is then
not an easy matter to pitch the bundles
in the winter. If theae large
stooks are well made, there need be
little lo?s, and no difficulty in handling
the fodder ?American Agriculturalist.
TUE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Both Branches of oar Legislative Department
Get Promptly to Work--Some Measures
to be Considered.
{ Condemned from the News and Courier.)
Pursuant to law, the General Assembly
of South Carolina inet in Columbia
on Tuesday the 24th ult. The
Senate was called to order by Lieutenant-Governor
Sheppard and the House
by Speaker Simons." .
The annual message of the Governor
was received, read, and referred to
?l,rl yl71 '?vv tUIUIIUUVC9.
Owing to the intervening' of Thanksgiving
Day there were, last week, but
four working days for the General Assembly.
These were well spent in the
introduction or consideration of various
measures of public importance.
A brief statement of these will prove
of general interest.
The House passed to its third reading
(introduced at the last session, by
Mr. Brice, of Fairfield) the joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the
Constitution, touching the distribution
nf Mir* firrv.inill A ftov
some debate ihe joint resolution was
ordered to be engrossed for a third
reading in about the following shape:
"Section 5. The boards oi' county
commissioners of the several counties
shall levy an annual tax of not less
than 2 mills on the dollar, &c., for the
support of the public schools in their
respective counties, which tax, &c.,
ssK^n i.,.1/1 4-u* f
Mian uv utiu in me guuniy uwjuuva vi
the respective counties and paid out'
exclusively for the support of the public
schools* as provided by law. There
shall be assessed on all taxable polls
in the btate the annual tax of one dollar
on each poll, &c., for educational
purposes. The schpol tax shall be
distributed among the several townships
of the counties, and in counties
where there are 110 townships among
the tax districts, in proportion to .the
amount of taxes paid bv said townships
or tax districts."
In the Senate, the House bill to provide
stenographers for the fifth and
sixth circuits caused some debate.
Various minor amendments were
adopted. Senator Black tried to have
the section referring to the sixth circuit
stricken out, and was seconded by
Senator Clyburn. The agricultural
Senators generalIv suDDorted the mo
tion, bat it was defeated by a vote of
16 to 14, and the bill was passed.
There will be another fight on the
third reading.
A message was raceived from the
Governor announcing his veto of the
bill passed last session "to make
School District No. 1, Sumter county,
a separate and distinct school district,
and to require the school tax and fund
A^U/1/ifA/l nnrl in fKa onrtiA f A
i/t'iiitsLuu aim ig^uivgu 1.1 nig o?i&uv> tv
be applied exclusively to school purposes
in said district." The application
of the^fund expressed in the title,
the Governor says, is in conflict with
Article X, Section 5, of the Constitution,
as amended, which declares that
"the school tax shall be distributed
among the several school districts of
the counties in proportion to the respective
number of pupils attending
tne puDiic scnoois.'
Among the new measures introduced
are the following:

The Senate has considered a good
portion of the very voluminous bill for
the revision and improvement of the
1 C 4 L ~ ~ ~ ? I *1 A* "^1
laws 101 uhs assessiutiil miu collection
of taxes.
Among the new bills introduced in
the House are:
A bill to amend Seelion 481 of the.
General Statutes in reference to the
salary of Lieutenant Governor. [This
bill abolishes the salary attached to
the office and ailows the Lieutenant
Governor ?1U per diem and mileage
during the session of the General Assembly.]
Bill to amend the law in relation to
the examinination of teachers. [This
bill was so loaded down with amendments
that it is somewhat difficult to
follow them. Its objecl, however, it
may be stated, is to give to graduates
of any chartered college or university
ill the State permission to receive a
tcacherV certificate from either the
State or comity board of examiners
wimout undergoing an examination,
provided, houerer, he or she lias a
good moral character.]
Mr. Hemphill introduced a bill to
i abolish the office of supervisor of registration,
impose the duties of said
j office upon the auditors of the several
counties and to provide for their compensation.
Mr. Hem phi 11 says that
the pay of the supervisors is altogether
out of proportion to the services which
they are called upon to perform; that
uie worK oi preparing me registration
lists was heavy in the beginning, but
that it is now very light and not more
i than the auditors can attend to for
slight additional compensation.
Mr. R. D. Lec, of Sumter, gave
notice of a bill to enable the Governor
to provide lor the enumeration of the
inhabitants of the State; $25,000 is the
amount appropriated for the work in
the bill which, however, has not yet
been introduced. Mr. Lee has also
given notice of o bill to change the
limits of the 7th Congressional district.
This he proposes to do by transferring
Beaufort from the 7th to the 2d
district, a change whic Mr. Lee thinks
will give the Democrats of the Black
district a fighting chance to be represented
in Congress.
The bill to prevent the exportation
and trapping and netting of partridges
was killed in the House bv a vote of
43 to 41.
Mr. Henry B. Kichardsou, the new]y
elected 'member from Clarendon
county, was present in the House on
Wednesday and qualified. He made
his maiden speech later in the day
when he introduced resolutions of
respect to the memory of Mr. Arthur
Harvin. his deceased predecessor, and
supported them with a few well chosen
and feeling remarks.
The anti-ProLlibitionists scored a.
victorv in the indefinite postponement
of the* bill from (lie last session "to
prohibit the sale of spirituous and malt
liquors within the county of Colleton."
There was no discussion on the subject.
"A bill to regelate the granting
of liquor-licenses within incorporated
cities and towns" was passed over
without action, as was also a bill to
prohibit the sale of liquor in the town
of Jonesville, Union county. There i
are several other prohibition bills on
the Calendar and several additional
bills bearing upon the subject aire
looked for during the session.
NOTES OF THE SESSION.
(*/?iif?<n?n?nor tl?A nrArwiSP/? f?on<5iic if
^.v^vvvx. <ww.
is naturally inquired how it will aflect
representation fro in the several counties.
Taking the United States censu3
of 1880 as the basis of the new apportionment,
it was found that changes
would occur in eleven counties. The
counties which would gain Representatives
would be Beaufort, Edgefield,
Greenville, Laurens, Marlboro, Spartanburg
and Sumter, who would gain
one Representative each. Charleston
and Berkeley combined, which now
have seventeen delegates, would lose
four, and Aiken, Hampton and Richland
one each. Under this schedule
it is estimated that Charleston would j
have seven and Berkeley six Represen- j
tatiyes, but thi-? estimate would per-1
haps be increased by a new census in j
Charleston, where it is said that the
population now numbers over 60,000.
In tiiis connection Captpin Dennis, of
Berkeley, was a>ked liow about his bill,
to transfer the sea Mauds from Berkeley
to Charleston. To this he replied
that the bill had been passed over at
the suggestion of Col. >imonlon with,
a view ot" lianujr a conference of the
two delegations. The Berkeley delegation
favor the transfer (with one ex- j
ccptiou) and the Charleston del-nation ;
at present oppose it.
The are on the House Calendar a i
niiinlioi- r.F u-lifit aIrnrtwii jik "liifilini" !
bills." One <>ft hem, a bill to prohibit j
the sale of liquors in Colleton county, j
was indefinitely postponed wiihmitj
discussion or divisiou. Mr. I'utti-!
grew's bill to regulate rhe granti?if j
licenses in incorporate'.! towns and j
cities was passed over temporarily, j
This bill takes a.vav the power of the |
granting of licenses from the muuici-1
pal authorities and vests it in the county
commissioners, the license fee?not
less than ?200?to be paid to the use
of the county.! The bill to prohibit the
sale of liquors in the town of Jonesville,
Union county, was passed over.
The bill (Senator Biematm's) to repeal .
the Act to prohibit the sale of spirituous
liquors iu Oconee county, has not j
yet been reached. It passed the Sen- j
ate last session and faik l by two votes
in the House on a motion made on the
last night of the session to take it up
out of its order. A bill will ue introduced
to repeal the Prohibition law in
Barnwell county. An attempt will
also be made to pass bills allowing the
granting of licenses in Berkeley and
Charleston counlies.
The Senate has decided to postpone
the judicial elections for the present.
There is no 0DD0siti0n to anv of thev
present Judges' save in two eases. The
friends of Gen. Moore have determined
to bring his name ont for the position
of Judge of the Second circuit against
Judge Aldrich. The friends of Judge
Maher, who is a probable candidate,
had determined not to bring him out
against Judge Aldrich, but the action
of the supporters of Gen. Moore may
determine them to a different course.
It is mentioned in the lobbies that Cel.
John F. Ficken may be brought out as
n. candidate for tlm Bench in the First
circuit in opposition to Judge Prcsslcy,
but no authoritive announcement so
that effect has as yet been .made.
The indefinite postponement of the
divorce bill is informally diseased.
Some significance was attached to
this for the reason that the author of
the bill, a young member from Fairfield,
made the motion for postponement.
This was explained by the fact
that he has been married since the iast
session.
A SWINDLING SCHEME
Shyster Lawyers Planning to Fleece Ex
Confederate Soldiers.
A dispatch from "Washington to the
Indianapolis Journal says:
"Efforts have already been begun by
the sharpers here to "Work'' the credulous
and unsophisticated ex-Confederate
soldiers. A firm of lawyers is
sending out circulars to the ignorant
ex-Confederate soldiers in the'South,
soliciting their clientage in procuring
them a bounty or damages lrom the
United States Government.
"The circulars contain a preface in
which it is asked if the party receiving
one of them was drafted, conscripted
or otherwise "pressed" into the Confederate
service. If so, he is asked to
read what follows. Then it is stated
that the Constitution of.the United
States pledges protection to ajl its
citizens, and if any of them were
forced to do servicc in* war they are
entitled to damages. An appropriation
is expected from Congress, it is
set lorth, to pay these damages. The
English iaxris quoted to substantiate
this allegation. Each persons addressed
is requested to remit $o to the
attorneys for the purpose of defraying
expenses in procuring the appropriation.
It is estimated that at least 150,000
men were forced into the Confederate
service, and it is intended that
every one of thetn, their heirs or legal
representatives, shall have an oppor
! (unity to invest $5 in this scheme."

the Legislature to pension the disa|

Charleston. This line extends from
Colli mbin to Sumter by the Wilmington,
Columbia & Augusta Railroad,
thence to Lane's bv the Central, and
from Lones to Charleston by ilie Noriheastern.
The Coast Line, already controlling
the W. C. & A. and the N. E.
I?. R., had but i<> build the Central,
forty-one miles, loi:<r, t<> have this new
rouie iron) i^oiumuia 10
one hundred and tliirty-sevi>n miles
long. The work was finished a little
over a year ago, and the new liue has
steadily grown in popularity. The
first improvement was in the shortening
of the time between the capital and
the metropolis ? which, of course,
brought the competing line to do as
well, till now the trip is made in three
hours and twenty minutes. When it
was made, a few years ago, in live
hours, conservative people thought
that progress in rapid transit had
reached a climax!
To make such good time requires a
first-rate road-bed, and iirst-ciass rolling-stock.
These the Coast Line has
provided, and the comfort of the traveler
is infinitely greater than in the
good old days when twenty miles an
hour constituted the height of railroad
ambition.
Of course in making such speed,
there is no such waste as "twenty
minutes [or less] for supper.'' There
is, therefore, a buffet car, furnished
with comfortable revolving chairs,
whereon the passenger may sit. as at
the table of a first-class hotel, and
? Li 1.55
eujuy simciv in <uiu ui
leisure. The menu is simple, but
cicely prepared and nicely served. It
is-all that the traveler wants for supper
or for breakfast. Th?; prices charged
are very reasonable. The contrast
between at meal (?) at the average
railroad eating-house and the "snack"
ou the buffet of the Coast line is very"
suggestive of Mark Twain's "Five
minutes for dinner?America," and
"Thii'tv minnlps for dinner? liV.-Li.re."
The price of tickets io the same on
all lines. *

HERE'S A CASE. <
For six long, dreary years'I have been a
sufferer from a complaint of inv kidnevs.
which failed to be cared by physicians"or
. advertised remedies.
I began to feel I could never secure relief.
as I had spent two hundred and fifty
dollars without success.
The disease was so excruciating that it
often prevented n.e from performing my
daily duty. I was advised to try the efficacy
of B. B. B., and one single bottle,
costing Si, gave me more relief than all
the combined treatment I had ever received.
Its action on the kidneys is simply wonderful,
and any one wno needs a real,
speedy and harmless kidney medicine
sliould not hesitate to give B. B. B. a trial.
One bottle will convince anyone.

I ain a merchant of Atlanta; and am
near GO years of age. ify kidneys have
been inactive and irregular'for many years,
attended with excruciating pain in the
small of the back. At times 1 became too
nervous to attend to business. My case
had all the attention that money could
secure, but only to result in a complete
iiiiiUlK.
B. H. B. was recommended, and to say
that iis action on me was magical would
be a mild term. One bottle made me feel
like a new man?just like I was young
again. In all my life I never used so powerful
and potent a remedy. For the blood
and the kidneys it is the best I ever saw,
and one bottle will force any one to praise
it. A. L. 1).
