BAS EDGEFIELD A SENATOR? A BOMBIE BEE WITH HIS HEAD CUT OFF. The Question Will Have to be Decided When the Senate Convenes. The following letter from the Assistant Attorney General ex plains itself: OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL, ) COLUMBIA, July 31, 1897. j Hon. M. B. McSweeney, Hampton, S. C. Dear Sir: Your letter enclosing communication to you from Mr. M. P. Wells has been received. The question submitted by the letter of Mr. Wells is whether there is now a .vacancy in the office of Senator of Edgefield count}7. It appears that at the last general election in this State in Nov., 1896, Hon, J M. Gaines was elected Senator from Edgefield county. At the session of the General Assembly held in 1897 an Act was passed and approved on the 2nd day of February, A. D. 1897, to establish Greenwood county. Mr. Gaines, by the establishment of Greenwood county, becomes a citizen of that county. Section 6, Article 3, of the Constitution of 1895 is a3 follows: "The Senate shall be composed of ono member from each county to bc elected for the term of four years by the qualified electors in each county iu the.same manner in which members of the House of Reprsentatives are chosen." Section 7 of Article 3 is as follows : "No person shall be eligi ble to a seat in the Senate or House of Representatives who at the time of his election is not a duly qualifi ed elector under this Constitution in the county in which he may be chosen. Senators shall be at least twenty-five and Representatives at least twenty-one years of age." The qualifications pre cribed by the Constitution to render an elector eligible to the office of Senator are : First, he must be a qualified elector of the county; s< cond, he must be at least twenty five years of age. At the lime of his election, in 1896, Mr. Gaines was undoubtedly eligible to a seat in the Senate from Edgefield county. But, since his election, his residence has been changed by the Act to establish Greenwood county. This change *'as not voluntarily made by Mr. Gaines. The Act also by its provisions has made Mr. Gaines a qualified elector of Greenwood county, for it requires the Supervisors of Registration of Edgefield county to turn over all the Registration bookd for the voting places embrac ed in the bounds of Greenwood county to the Supervisors of Registration for Greenwood county. This transfer of Mr. Gaines as a qualified elector was also involun tary. Section 25, Article 3, is follows : "If any election district shall neglect to choose a member or members on the day of election, or if any person chosen a member of either House shall refuse to qualify and take his seat or shall resign, die, depart the State, accept any disqualifying office or position or become otherwise disqualified to hold his seat a writ of election Bhall ba issued by the President of the Sen ate or Speaker of thc House of Representatives as the case may be, for the purpose of filling the vacauy, etc." Section ll, Article 3, is as fellows : "Each House shall judge of the election returns and qualifications of its own members, etc." Who is made the judge under the Constitution as to whether a Senator elected and qualified and who has taken his seat has become disqualified to hold it? Under Section 25, Article 3, the power to decide this question is clearly vest ed in the Senate. No State officer nor the President of the Senate is vested with any 6uch power. If this is so, there is no vacancy in the office of Senator from Edgefield county until the Senate sits and declares that Mr. Gaines has be come disqualified to hold his seat, and, as President of Senate, you can only then issue a writ of elec tion for the purpose of filling the vacancy. Section 6, Article 3, provides that the person elected Senator shall be elected for the term of four years. In addition to this, in the same Constitution, in which the qualifications of a Senator are provisions for tho formation of new counties and for prescribing the first them of the Senator from such counties as to observe a certain classification required. In view of these provisions, and of the fact that Mr. Gaines has not voluntarily become a citizen of Greenwood county, and the novelty of the question raised in this case, it would seem eminently ap propriate that the Senate of South Carolina should act in this matter before any action is taken by you as President of the Senate, under Section 25, Article 3, of the Constitution. These are the views of this office, which are not authoritative, but have been expresod at your ? aruost request vithout any inten tion of deciding the question whether there is a vacancy in the office of Senator from Edgefield county or of influencing your official action. Yours very truly, C. P. TOWNSEND, Assistant Attorney General. On receipt of the above letter from the Assistant Attorney Gen eral, the President of the Senate wrote to Mr. Wells as follows : HAMPTON, S. C., August 4,1897. Mr. M. P. Wells, Edgefield, S. C. Dear Sir: AS stated to you in a previous letter I submiited to the Attorney General the question as to ordering an election for Senator of Edgefield county,-aa requested by you. I herewith enclose you a copy of the reply just received from the Attorney General's office. In accordance with the views therein exprewsed it appears that I have no authority to order the election for Senator from the couut of Edgefield. Yours truly, M. B. MCSWEENEY. Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic Cures Fever In One Dav. JUDGE SIMONTON Decides the Original Package Question. Greenville News. Charleston, S. C., Aug. 7-Judge Simonton, of the United States circuit court today filed his decision defining "original pack age" and settling the disputed feature of the dispensary law. The court holds that an "original package" is the form in which liquor is delivered to the initial carrier at the point of shipment. If boxed liquor is imported then the whole box muBt be sold and not a single bottle from the box. The decision will require all dealers to import liquor in single packages. UNION MEETINGS.

Fill :i bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand fur twenty-four hours; a sediment settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains Unen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre quent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof thai the kidneys and bladder are ou .ol' order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Koot, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and sca'ding pain in passing it, or bad elt'ects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times duringj the night to urinate. The mild and tne extraordi nary effect of Swamp Koot is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distress ing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
