Columbia special in Charlotte
Observer: The strong sentiment
that prevails throughout the
State against, the action of the
Aiken county dispensary board in
establishing a dispensary in the
town of North Augusta against
the wishes of that community, in
order to hold the booze nozzle to
tMoUityot Augusta, Cia., i4for
revenue onlywas strikingly ro
fleeted in the art ion of the House
of Representatives this?morning
in passing without a dissenting
voice a resolution introduced by
Representative Lane, of Georgetown,
condemning the action o!
the Aiken board as undemocra'
tic and subversive to good gov
ernment.
Anothe* attempt to pass a
marriage license law failed in
the House today after a healed
debate lasting about an hour.
The bill was favored by members
from counties having large cotton
mill populations, where
there is much marrying, and by
Representatives of counties borritifv
r?n Mnrfli ( u n/l
Georgia, especially North Carolina.
The bill was killed by a
vote of 59 to 47, being opposed
on the ground that it was a 6tep
toward a divorce law, and would
complicate proving marriage in
civil cases.
The House without a dis&enting
voice passed; a very important
bill by Mr. Nash, forbidding the
employment ot minors without
the consent of parents or ? " >rd.
ians, but allowing such minors to
make contracts for their services
independent, of parents or guardians,
where tho?e parents or
jguardians do not provide homes
for thorn. The bill is intended
to prevent loafing fathers in
manufacturing centres horn living
off the wages of their children.

Bill Before Congress to Extend
Free Delivery Service
to Towns.
Washington special in the Co
lumbia State: A bill to permit
lhe establishment of city mail
delivery service in towns whose
postofficeB produce a gross revenue
of not less than .$5,000 annually
has been introduced in
the senate by Senator Latimer
This bill Senator Latimer introduced
in the senate several years
ago and the postmaster general
has now recommended its.enact
ment in his annual report.
Another important provision
of the bill introduced by Senator
Latimer is that towns who*e postollices
yield less than $5,000
shall be entitled to have the
mail delivered by the rural delivery
carriers. The idea is that
in the small towns the rural de
livery cairiers shall stop at al!
those houses on their routes
where letter boxes of the prescribed
pattern are placed, n<>
matter whether tire houses artinside
the incorporated limits or
not. At present tire II F. 1).
carriers pass by all the houses
inside the incorporated towns
and deliver the mail to the first
house outside, leaving the people
inside the incorporated limits,
no matter how far out these )ir?
its extend, to go for their mail.
