Sumter and Orangeburg. It is
stated that the proceedings were
thoroughly harmonious, and that
the recent differences between
the oflh-ers of the state organization,
arising from the call for the
convention, were satisfactorily
adjusted.
A report was submitted by the
State business agent, Mr. W. C.
Moore, chowing that during his
recent trip to Eur >pe lie made
arrangements with spinners by
which cotton may be shipped
direct to England, the shippers
ioceiving nearly a cent a pound
more,f <r the stap'e than is paid
on home markers. A resolution
was unanimously passed urging
the legislature 10 repeal the lien
law. The convention adjourned
to meet again in Columbia on
January 22.
TO FEC1LI TATE ENFOHCEAtENT OF
STATE PIIOHIBITION.
Certain phases 01 the liquor
question were discussed in the
Senate vVedneBday, the debate
being precipitated by the in?ioduction
of the following resolution
by Senator Tillman:
aThat the committee on inter
State commerce be 1 istructed to
consider and report by bill or
otherwise what legislation is desirable
or necessary to enable
the States in exercise of their
police powers to control the commer<
e of liquors and alec h >)ic
beverages within their borders
II II --fflS? """'
so as to aid the cause of temper*
ance and to prevent the encour
agetnent by the United States
government of illicit dealiug in
the same."
Senator Tillman explained his
object be to have clearly defined
the point at which the police power
of theSt ?te begins. He said t hat
the prohibition laws in Southern
states are being circumvented in
i the interest of whiskey shippers
I e ,1 II,.

particularly charged the express
companies witli responsibility
tor the evasion of the State laws
to prohibit the liquor trallic. His
remarks were followed by a general
discussion of the powers of
States and ot the national government,
after yvhich Mr. Till
man withdrew his resolution and
i offered the following bill, which
at his suggestion had been drawn
by M r. Knox :
"That, all fermented, distilled,
or other intoxicating liquors or
liquids transported into any State
of territory or remaining therein
for use, consumpt on, sale or
storage therein, upon arrival
within the borders o! the State
and before or af'er delivery to
the consignee, in such State or
: territory, be subject to the operation
and eff> ct ot the laws of
such Sta'o or territory enacted in
the exercise ot iis police powers,to
the same extent and in the s une
manner as though such liquids
or liquor had been produced in
-uicli Slate or territory and shall
do! beexempt therefrom byreason
ot being introduced therein in
original packages or otherwise.
The bill was referred to 'he
judiciary commit tee,and it it ever
becomes a law, which is likely,
practical prohibition in a State
may become possible?at least
its chances will belter than ever
before.
A .STATE HIGHWAY BO sRD
President llyalt, of the South
Carolina Good Koads Association,
has given out an interview
in which be expresses approval
of the plan agitated to hive the
legislature create a highway commission,
to be charged with the
general supervision of road work
in tlie state, winch plan is now
in operation in a number of
s'ates In his interview Mr.
H\ alt says:
"In order to establish any
successtlil enterprise it is abso
lutely necessary that we have
nn official head to be used as a
source ol information as well as
assistance and direction; there-'
lore, 1 am satisfied that we have
reached a point in road building |
in Souih Carolina where the j
Legislature should authorize the
Governor t<? act as ex officio
member ot this commission. The
civil engineer thus appointed
should ho the chief officer of this I
commission ; he should he given
I authority, with the app oval of
me comm ssion, to app in* sucn
assistance as the amount ol woik
required wouhl necessitate an 1
, th ^ me.iiiH will warrant; and also
1 to furnish information and ad I
J vice to anv of the c in'y high*
' way officials on all matters p< rtamiug
to roads and bridges, kind
of material, etc, in their respective
counties and localities; and
also to compile statis'ics relating
j to public highway.' of the State
I and make Ruch investigations relating
thereto as shall seem ex
pedient in ord >r to sr cure more
improved highways in the State.
He should also, by means o
maps, charts, cuts, drawings,
prints, publications, printed or
written articles, lectures, or otherwise,
disseminate knowledge
throughout the Slate concerning
the he?t known economical methods
tor building and maintaining
of highways, including bri lges
_ ?M?n - * x
in (he counties of the State, and '
particularly to impart such in- *
formation in the manner as afore- '
said, to the county commissioners
of the counties whose duties it is
to have the care and manage- ]
tnent of the expenditure of mon- 1
ey and the building a?d keeping 1
in repair ot the highways in the
State. Said commissioner should '
hold each year, under I lie aus ;
pices of the county commission- i
ers, a meeting ill each county for
t he open discussion ot questions ,
relating to tlie building and .
maintaining of public highways,
oi which due notice shall given
to hif. liway officials and the pub 1
I lie generally by tlio aai-1 county ]
commissioners."
There is no question about the
fact thai intelligent ?nd system- 1
atic supervision and direction is ^
of the utmost importance in the 1
matter of highway improve j
ment. but tqu dly as essential is i
the rai.-ing of the means nec^s- ^
sarv to carry on the work, itself, (
which point Mr. Hyatt does "ot i
touch upon. Is it proposed to 4
work the roads bv taxation? ^
