MORE CONVICTS FOR . THE CHAM? Mr. Strom's Bill Passed the House Yesterday. AGAINST CARRYING FIREARMS. The House Killed Mr. Bacot's Bill to Provide for the Ap pointment of State Librarian. The State, Sunday, Jan. 27. The house yesterday passed Mi Str?mt bill to allow all convicts whose sentences are not over 10 years to be used on county cham gaDgs. The house had a few days before passed Mr Weston's bill to perm i ' convicts in city jails to be leased to the county authorities. There . are two more propositions to be disposed of-that to sell the State farms, and that to stop the -lease of convicts to private parties. The house killed Mr Bacot'a bill to provide for the appointment ot a State librarian by the governor; Mr Durant's bill relating to the proper return of property for taxa tion, and Mr Dorroh's to limit to five days the time for recording mortgagos, etc. Just before adjournment the child labor question was given a little touch. Mr Weston's bill, the compromise said to be agreeable to the State Federation of Labor, had in some way gotten on the calendar with an unfavorable re port. Mr Crum moved to recommit the bill. Mr Weston did not happen tobe in the hall, "nd Mr Rucker asked that as a courtesy to Mr Weston the bill be not recommitted. It was contended that the house had a right to dispose of the mo tion in the absence of Mr Weston. Mr Croft said that all that was wanted was for the bill to be sent back to the committee in order that a minority report might be submitted. At this point Mr Kibler moved to adjourn the debate. This was carried. The effect of this motion iq two-fold. It keeps the commit tee from regaining possession of the bill, and it places the bill on the calendar' as unfinished busi ness and having precedence over everything else except third read ing bills, which are always acted upon first. This means that the child labor question will, in all probabilify, be discussed Monday. THE DAY'S WORK. The house accomplished a good deal of work yesterday, killing the three bills referred to-Mr Bacot'e, Mr Dorroh's, and Mr Durant's and passing to third reading ll others. . Mr Cooper's bill against carry-, ing firearms was passed-but as amended it reads rather roughly. There was only one third bill on the calendar, and a last fight was made against it. This was Mr Richards' bill 'to exempt grad uates of the Charleston Medical college from examination before the State board. Mr Wingo moved to recommit the bill. Mr Richards saw no use in re committing the bill. It has been before the house a weekand its provisions are now well known. Mr Rucker defended the bill, and his colleague, Mr Ashley, op . posed it. Mr Ashley voted for it last year, but had since seen in it. Mr Hardin said that he would ever raise his voice and ever cast his vote against any bill which would Bhow discrimination be tween the young men of South Carolina.* Mr Strom said that yesterday 106 votes had been cast and the bill passed second reading. It would be unfair now to take a vote on the measure as so many mem bers are absent. Mr Mayson said that it would be a reflection upon the house to recommit the bill at this stage. Mr Wingo spoke earnestly against the bill. It is removing safeguards, when more safeguards should be thrown around the health of the people. The motion to recommit, the regular formal motion unfavorable to a tbird reading bill, was voted down. RECORDING MORTGAGES. The next bill taken up was Mr Dorroh's to reduce the time allow ed for recording mortgages from 40 to 5 days. Mr Spears moved to strike ont I the enactiug words. Mr Dorroh spoke in favor of th bill. He had introduced it at th request of the Greenville bar. Th 40-day limit as it now stands ad mite of too much fraud. Mr Wilson said it would be hardship on the people in tb ...ouutry to have but five dayp i ?i hieb, to go to the court hous* ; i ie their pap< ra. Mr Strom said it would requir a man to keep a "mule and a ni s ger ready to go to the court house at any time. Mr Spears said that the p^opl understand the general law, *\ .t would create confusion to chang it. Furthermore, the bill woul not prevent fraud, for a party, i .n fraud intent,would commit th .and within five days as well a within forty. Mr Coop.-r thought fiv^ <la< -= ? short a time and 40 days too lou' He favored an amendment mak 20 days the limit. Mr Kiuard said that people i: rjie country who take papen- ii not like to send to the cour*, hou* ?very time a note is taken. H M?oved to indefinitely postpone tl. bill. This was carried and th bill kill?d. THE CONVICT QUESTION. The house then took up M strom's bill relative to th eligibility of convicts to the selec society of county chain gangs. Mr Strom and Mr Stackboup spoke in favor of it. Mr Wing? made a good speech reciting tb< necessity for skilled labor ii operating machinery on pu bl ii works. This labor is usually em ployed, when convict labor woul< do as well. But convicts, if sen up for short terms, are dischargee by the time they get to working well. The counties which hav< the court expenses to bear shoulc get the proper return in labor. Mr Tatum said that his opposr tion to the bill came from a sense of humanity. Dr Pope who wa* for 22 years physician at the penitentiary says that convicts cennot live for ten years on a county chaingang. If the campe be properly equipped it might be feasible. * Mr Strom asked if it would not result in camps being made tetter if more convicts be sent to these camps and the permancy of the system assured. Mr Weston said he would ?ffer an amendment to make it optional with the judge whether or not the convict be sentenced *o th? chain gang or the penitentiary. There are about 1,000 convicts in the penitentiary. Employment can not be found for all of them. What dispopitiou shall be made of the overplus? Shall they be turned over to individuals or to counties? In reply to Mr Tatum he said that ten years of chain gang life would not kill a convict. He trust ed his own observation as much as that of Dr Pope. Mr Prince, who had oppsed the proposition to stop leasing convicts to individuals, said that if the bars are to be let ri^n> then let them down entirely, \vhat is th? uee of counties sending , convicts to the penitentiary and then hiring them back? Sentence them to the chain gang at once if they eau be cared for humanely. Mr H. J. Kinard stated Green wood, a new county, had adopted the chain gang system in the outset, and anybody who would see the work would agree that it is eminently successful. Three years ago the roads were in bad shape, and now a man can trot his horse across the county. The convicts are well cared for in Greenwood. Mr Strom stated that they are well used and well cared for in Edgefield, too, The bill pasaed second reading, The act, as amended will read : Section 662. That from and after the passage of tm's act all the courts of this State, and municipal authorities which, under exiting laws, have power to sentence con victs to confinement in prison, with hard, shall sentence all able bodied male convicts to hard labor upon the pub4;c works of the county in which said ner6on shall have been sentenced, and in the alter native, to imprisonment in the count) iail or State penitentiary! at hard labor, etc. Provided, That no convict, whose sentence shall be for a period longer thau ten years, shall be so sentenced.

I [NOIANS SEND AN ULTIMATUM TO MCKINLEY _j_ " Have Set Up a Government of Their Own. Eufala. Indian Territory, Jan 22 -Reports are received from the ?ountry west of here of fresh out rages perpetrated by Creek In dians, knowus as Snake Bande, who Are arresting and whipping the more conservative Indians. They " have rewved the ancient Creek laws, and. are seizing, fi-ling papers from Indians who have filed allotments. Indians who have filed papers are whipped and told that their ears will be cut off for a 3econd offense. There have been BO far no second offenses as the victims are entirely without pro tection. The United States au thorities have been appealed to. The Globe Democrat corres pondent has it from a reliable source that the insurrectionary Creeks have "officially" notified President McKinley that they have taken tnt Creek national government into their own hands, and will run the government with out reference to the United Stat*1* in the future. The notice was in the nature af an ultimatum. The country is terrorized and the insurrectionists, heavily arm ed, are collecting heavy fiues in the city. No whites are as vi ene naced. How the Queen Manages Her Farm. Notwithstanding-the fierce light which beats upon the throue many people neem to have bi en surprised to learn of Her Majesty 'fi great success at the Birmingham cattle show, tor few of us are accustomei to think of our sovereign as "Uictoria, Queen and farmer." Sixty years ago Prince Albert became a memberof the Smithfield Club, and every year since thal time Her Majesty's farms have been represented at the leading agricultural and fat stock show?, while the Queen's personal inter?s1 in farming and agriculture has increased rather than diminished as years have gone by. When tbecourl is at Winds >r, is at Windsor, it rarely happens that more than a day cr two elapses without the sovereign paying a long and detailed visit to. her tw<? farms. Further, the Queeu is most kind in allowing strangers to go over them, and both the Shaw farm and the Flemish farm have been visited by all the leadiug agricul'urists of this country and of the continent. It is at tho Shaw farm that Cicely, the Shorthorn heifer who bas just won the three challenge cups of a hundred guiueab each, was bred, her progress from infancy being watched by the Queeu with the greatest interest. Here also, iu the home farm, to give it its second name are kept some curious cattle, including the Zulu co?v. was a present from Cetewayo'e brother. As is natural, the 60vererign devotes more attention to what may be called the dairy side ol' tanning than to that which simply consists of the production of fat stock. Till comparat.vely recently the Queen, accompanied by some of her daughters and grand children was fond of walking in the early morning to the dairy farm, there to partake of new-laid eggs, delicious butter, and sil labubs. The dairy, which was erected in the twenty-first year of the Queen reign, is a charming building, lined with Minton tiles, the windows being filled in with stained glass, of which the design includes roses, shamrocks, thistles and harebells. Some fifty cows are milked each day and even in winter upward of thirty pounds of butter is made daily, a special little churn being set apart for the production of that served at the Queen's breakfast. All the dairy tables are of solid marble, and below, extending to the full length of each, is a reservoir through which a staeam of water can. when de?ired, be kept flowing. At each end of the dairy stands a majolica fountain, while a third fountain, consisting of an exquisite water uymph pouring water from a jar, ornaments another side of the royal dairy. At one time the Queen was fond of going regularly into the cow houses, and even now she often makes inquiries as to the milking record of a favorite Alderney. indiana Town Tired of Obnoxious Negroes. Evansville, Ind., Jan, 28.-Cit and twous along the Ohio riv have begun a crusade against th negroes. The eniire trouble dates back to the lynching of the negroes at Rockport and Boonville for the murder of the white barber, Sim mons, at Rockport last month. k The board of safety of this city J has ordered the police to arrest all strange negroes .and bring them j before the city police judge. If they cannot give an}' roasou for being here they will be sentenced 1 to the rock pile. It is estimated \ there are 2,000 colored men in this 1 city who abi olutely refuse to work. ( They spend their time in the low ? saloons and clives of the city and e live the best way they can. On * election day they are iu the market ' for the highest bidder.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessen", an.bltion; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order ' or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born 1 afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the ?ri?e scalds the flesh or if, when the child -eaches an age when it should be able to :ontrol the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of ihe difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first ?tep should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
