The House* of Representatives adopted a rule the other day allow .ing only ten minutes to each side of a discuss iou, consequently mucb time waB saved. This would be a good rule for permanent adoption The biennial session resolution has been rejected by the Senate by by one vote. ilr. Archer's bill allowing the counties to vote on tbe question of "dispensary" of "no dispensary." was passed by the House. The wide tire bill was lost in the House by a vote of 53 ti 44. The Senate refused to concur in the action ot the House appropriat ing $100,000 for the public schools. The house and senate conference committees could not agree upon Mr. Archer's local option bill. The house had substituted a part of Mr. Winkler's dispensary bill. Messrs. Blythe Sharpe and Hollis were appointed a committee on free conference. They sub sequently reported that they could Dot agree, and recommeded the rejection of the bill. This was carried and the bill killed. Mr. Blease's bill to require dis interested witness to bills of eal ti or chatteJ mortgages was taken up. Senator Ragsdale favored the bill and Senator Barnwell opposed it. On motion of Senator Waller, the bill was rejected by adopting the unfavorable report. The resolution to investigate th?j dispensary was reached and Sena tor Barnwell moved that the p?nate do not concur. This y&a carried without objection and and the dis pensary investigation smothered according to the original, program me. The bill to exempt the graduates of the South Carolina Medical col lege from examination was taken up and senator Manning moved to indefinitely postpone. The motion prevailed. This is tho third time the sen-ate bad rejected the bill, it having been reconsidered. The public printing was given to The Columbia State and was confirmed by the geo ral assembly. The talk about when the con tu ry ends and when another begins is about past at this time. But it is worth noting that when the new century begins, January 1, 1901, there will come with it some nov elties. It will have twenty-four leap years, tho greatest number possible. February will have fivt Sundays three times-1920, 1948 1976. The earliest possible date on which Easter can occur is March 12. The last time it occurred on that, date was 1818 The latest that Easter can occur it April 25. lt will occur but one time in the coming century on that date-1943. The middle day or century will be January 1, 1951. There will be 380 eclipses during the coming century. In 1932 there will be seven eclipses. There will be eight solar eclipses visible in the Uuited States-1918, 1923 1925,1954,1979,1984. and 1994. There will be twelve transits ot Mercury. There will be no transit of Venus until 2004. If there is a child now living who will see all these occurrences he will be bless ed with long years. Anyhow, it is -safe to affirm that no person who ?reads this item will see the solar eclipse in 1994.-Ex. What Constitutes a Pretty Woman. They say a fine dress, we say a well painted house makesa pretty home. Now every man should be interested in a beautiful home. And notwithstanding your house may be very old, it will only take paint the better and show the greatest improvement besides in durability, makes it equivalent to a new house. And if you will make your home surroundings pleasant, your wife will grow prettier and more pleasant as her surroundings are improved. If you will write, the Southorn Paiut Co., Pinebluff, N. C. you will be astonished to know what little cost it would be to paint your house. By sending them the dimet sions of^ourhouBe they can tell you about what quanity it will take to give it one, two or three coats as you desire.

It-The negro brute Will Burts, who on Monday made an assault on the wife C. L. Weeks, a prominent farmer who lives eight miles from this plac^, made good bis escape, but waa promptly tracked by a posse toward Edgefield, hif- old home. To assist, in his arrest, Chief of Police C. L. Weeks of Aiken seat oiit postal cards offering a reward- for his arrest. The negro got as far Green wood county and had gone to work when he was arrested by an Edge field man who as soon as he saw the card describing Burts, located him. About 250 men were in the posse. They brought the negro back to this county, and when they reached Bauskett's Mill, half way between Aiken and Trenton, at 5 o'clock this morning, they swung up the brute, but tbe rope broke and they had to tie him up again. Then they fired into his dead body and left for their homes. Burts confessed that he tried to cut Mrs. Weeks' thoat and kill her. He claimed : they bad words over the price of ' some meal he was buyii g. Some of the crowd wanted to keep the negro until tonight and haye a big time, but wiser counsel ^prevailed and nothing barbarous was allowed. The negro simply paid the penalty for his dastardly attempt at crime. LATER PARTICDRARS. BurtB was caught near Ninety six by a Mr. Cogburu, who receiv ed the hundred dollars offered by Mr. Weeks. On the return trip the party rested at Trenton and a uumber of ladies dressed and came out to view the mau. On reaching Bauskett's mill an hour before daylight it was decided to lynch him there. An oid clothesline w?e used for a rope, and after it was adjusted around his neck Burts was ordered to climb up on the limb of a big oak tree. He was game, and without a murmur did as he was told. Then the rope end was tied to a small sapling and the shooting commenced. Instead of falling backwards as they ex pecteh he fell forward to the ground and had to be pul up again. The body is still swinging there. Your correspondent viewed it this afternoon. Burts was a young man, his forehead very flat and his face brutish. His clothing was ragged and riddled with bullets, his right cheek was com pletely shot away. To bis breast was pinned a piece of paper, on which was written "we will protect our wives, mothers and daughters." Two sticks on the railrod bank across the road from the body had handkerchiefs attached, evidently to. attract the attention of the engineers. Some negroes in Aiken when they heard of the search for Burts tried to form a rescue party, but nothiDg came of the effort. Evidently the men engaged were determined, and the sherff himself cou^d not have got him. The State. Bad Blood-Cure Free ?
