loras HA?E CONE HOI The Assembly Ad journed Sine Die Yesterday. Tho Customary Resolutions and Customury Respons^-The House Deserted and Everybody Glad. The agony is over. The end has come. The general assembly has adjourned sine die and the memhers have folded their tent* and more or less silently stolni away to their respective homes. The second floor of the State house is like a banquet hall deserted, or a last year's bird nest, or something else of that kiud, and laborers are busily engaged in dearing away tho wreck and ruin and litter of the legislative sess ion. THE LAST DAY. When the senate convened at 9 o'clock the last bills from the engrossing department had not been verified a- d it was 10 o'clock before the last ratification of acts was had. It was stated that the delny iu the engrossing department was caused by the fact tba1 the special pension bill appropriated $150,000 for pensions, while the general appropriation bill gave only $100,000 for pensions, and there was doubt as to whether thc increase made in the special bill would be .valid. Attorney General Bellinger was sent for at 3 o'clock yesterday morning and after examining both billp stated that be would advise the payment of the extra $50,000, as it was clearly the intention of the legislature to make the in crease. Acting on this advice the work of enrolling the bill for ratification was resumed. It was at 10 o'clock, that the last acts were sigued by the presidium officers of the two bodieB, and then a joint committee was sent to inform the governor that the legislature was ready to adjourn. The governor sent a message in reply to the effect in substance that he had signed the appropria tion bill, the general supply bill and the legislative supply bill, aud the legislature might adjourn whenvtr it felt like it. Mr. Hamer, the clerk of the house, came over and announced that that body had finished all its work and was ready to adjourn. The clers of the p?nate was theu ?eut to th? house with similar message. RESOLUTIONS. While ibis exchange of couitesies was goiug on the senate, on motion of ^senator Livingston, resolved itself into a commitce* of the whole and Senator Moore was called to the chair. Senator Livingston presented the following resolutions, which were unani mously adopted : Be it resolved, ist. That the thanks of the senate are due, and are hereby tendered to Hon. Jas. H. Tillman, lieutenant gover nor and president of the senate, for his courteous, impartial and .efficient discharge of the duties devolving upon him as presiding officer of this body. 2d. That th* thanks of this body are due, and are hereby tendered, to Hon. John C. Shep pard, president pro tem of the senate. 3d. That the senate commends the clerk, assistant clerk, sergeant at-arma and othor officers and employes of the senate for then respecive duties. Resolved, That the thanks of the senate be ten dered to Messrs P. M. Brice and A. M. Carpenter, repiesentative6 of the preis, fo_ their full and impartial reports ol the sedate proceedings at the present basion. When the president roturned to the chair Senator Moore formally prefinted the resolutions. In presenting them he ?aid: "Mr. President, the adoption of these resolutions ha3 not been the perfunctory discharge of a courtesy ' OD the part of the senate, bur they express the honest feelings of every member of this body." A GRACEFUL RE8P0N3E. Lieut. Gov. Tillman said io reply : I am grateful to you, senators, for the resolution you have just adopted. When I assumed the iuties of this office it was with many misgivings, for never before in my life had I held any political cfBce whatsoever. If I have given you satisfaction I nave accomplish ed my sole dosire. In years I nm young, while most of you have passed the meridian of manhood. In the ordinary course of human life it will be with sadness ard sorrow that I see many of you pass to the great beyond, but when years have passed away and shades have faded into shadow^. is* mind will wander back to my relations hare and. think of "auld i-nd syne." May happiness and prosperity attend each and every one of you during tte coining year, and God be with you till we meet again. TILL WE MEET AGAIN. It was 10:19 wh en the lieuten ant governor finished his remarks. Senator Blakeney arose and moved that "as there was no further bus iness to be transacted the senate do now adjouru sine d ie." Senator Mayfield seconded the motion. The question was formally placed before rhe senate aud the motion formally adopted. Theu, with one blow of the gavel, the presid ing officer declared the result and the senate stood adjourned sine die. There were handshakes and goodbyes all around, and expres sions of good-will and hopes for pleasant meetings next yoar, the seuators wended their way outward singly aud in twos and threes, and in a few minutes the chamber was deserted except for t;ie clerk and his assistants. The session of the legislature of 1901 is a thing of hi?tory. CUTOFF HIS "WHISKERS. VV. B. Marden Destroys a Marvel for Kansas and the Museums. Bangor, Me., Feb. 16.-W. B. Mardf n, of Lioerty Waldo county, who has benn famed far and wide as the possessor of whiskers the like ot which were never raised in Kansas, has cut the whiskers off, and burned them in the kitchen stove, partly because they were getting to be a heavy nuisance and partly because he had become tired of answering questions. lu 189b, when the whiskers were said to measure eight feet nine inches, a man came all the way trom Boston to offer him a good Ralary if he would just go up to the tx.ib, sit a few hours a day on the stage of a museum, aud let thf bl-eptical yank gently at his whiskers to prove that they wore genuine and not glued on. Marden declined the offer with thanks, oaying that so long as farming was middling good in Waldo county, as his pension kept on coming regulsraly he would not think of associating with Circassian beau ties, skeletons and the like. Other museum agents came and went. All failed in their attempt to engage Mr. Marden and bis whiskers. Mr. Mardon stayed at home and worked, aud sat on the piazza in summer and read about the warr? and the murders and let the salty breezes and the meadow airs blow through the wonderful whiskers, which grew until, as hp walked, they swept the ground like a hop vine hanging out ihe tail of a wagon. In a strange town Marden would have a crowd at his heels all the time, but he seldom cared to wander ?rom his own cook stove and in the course of years Liberty got used to him and his beard, and oven the lit tie rude boys got tired of calling him Whis kers Marden. When Mr. Marden worked in bay fwld or ru bis copper shop be ir ou ld tie the whiskers up in a kuot, just as a woman ties up the skirt of her calico dress when she mops the floor. When as some times happeued, he went to a , dance or other social gathering, he wore* the beard neatly braided, something like a horse's tail. Tho whiskers v/ere of redisli browu and of Bi Iky texture, slightly crinkled. The quality was ali right, ouly tho quantity was bother nome. Considered as A curiosity, ibe whiskers were great but for all the ordinary purposes of whiskers/hey were anuisance. So it was that the other day Mr. Marden suddenly rose up from his splint-bottomed easy chair u. d called for scissors. Then, to the astonishment of all beholders, oe with two or throe savage clip?, severed the wonderful whiskers from his face. Ile grabbed the move-lifter, snatched off a cover of the kitchen stove, und crowded ,he whiskers into the fire. In a minute the growth of 20 years was gone t> ashes. The whiskers wheo burned were ten feet four inches long, so people of Liberty declare. ?JE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE Passes Child Labor Bill by Ma jority of Ono Vote. 3y a majority of one the South Carolina Senate accepted a com promise meabure on the child la bor question. First by a lie vote the senate refused to strike out the anaoting words of the Marshall bili, which absolutely prohibits I he employment of children under twelve years of age in cotton fac tories, Lieuteuant Governor Jae. H. Tillman casting the deciding vote. Then, without division, the senate accepted the substitute bill, which provides for the gradual alleviation of child labor during the next five years. It prohibits the employment ot children under ten 3 ears of age from now on, au? provides for the eventual prohibi tion of the employment of chil dren under twelve years of age. The measure has been debated all the week in the senate, and it was not until after ll o'clock last night that the advocates of the measure were able to force a \ ote. The house has already rejected all bills* on this subject, and pro vided fora commission to investi gate conditions. What the house will do wi*h the senate measure ij uncertain ; but as only ten days of the session remains, it will hardly become a law. The senate's action, however, is a victory for thy advocate-? of the measure, as last year tho senate rejected all billa on this subject. From the Senate Journal we clip t?he following : "After further debate by Mr Mayfield, the question was taken on agreeing to the motion of the senator from Anderson, on which the yeas and nays ware demanded and taken, resulting- as folio.vs : Yeas-Messrs Appelt, Brown, Dean, Dennis, Douglass, Gaines, Goodwin, Herndou. Hough, Liv ingston, Mower, Sarratt, Stauland, Sullivan, Talbird and Walker-16. Nay??-Messrs Aldricb, Blak eney, Brantley, Brice, Caughman, v-ilenn, Gruber, Heuderson, Hy drick, J.ldercon, Marshall, May field, McDermott, Moore, 'rtagsdale and Williams.-16. The President, James H. Till man, voted "no," and assigned as bis reason therefor: " 'The chair casts the deciding vote agaiust striking out th? en acting wordo of thia bill for a number of reasons too numerous to mention here. But substantial ly because it will sustain aud pro tect the moral and meutal welfare of the mill children of this State. It will give tnem an opportunity to bettor fit themselves for the dis charge of the duties of their chosen vocation. They cnh be educated, and thus derive some benefit from the taxes their parents pay. It is startling to reca.l that S0,000 more negro children than whiten an nually attend our public schools. By this vote I do not mean to an tagonize industrial advancement. In the language of the lamented Governor Hagood "Capital with out labor means stagnation ; labor without capital means stat vatiou." In the eud the capitalist will real ize that intelligent labor is the palest and most profitable. But this is a measure involving more than mere money-it is a cause of humanity." JAMES H. TILLMAN. Hurrah for James H. Tillman, the next governor of South Caro lina! James H. Tillman is made of the right kind of metal. He has proven himself to be the trioud of j - the people. When J. H. Tillman ran for Lieuteuant Governor, on every stump he told the working people that he was their friend, and he bas kept his word. He has redeemed his pledge given on his sacred honor. When the tie vote was announced ? during that fateful moment of auspence, a million streaming eyes gazed at the President of the Sen ate. But the suspenee lafcted for a moment only, and then tears gave way to smiles. To lhe children of the State, *t was like the reading of a procla mation of emancipation. James H. Tillroau is a hero. He ( is as bold as a lion, and be ia an honest man. A son of Geo. D. Tillman, the j "Numidian liou of South Carolina politics," ho bas iuherited ?niany , of his noble qualities. He is the worthy son of a worthy sire. 1 South Carolina should feel proud ot this stalwart apostle of human liberty, this staunch friouc, of the children A the ^;tate. James H. Tillman knows what is to stand "in that fierce light, that beats upon a throne." He did his duty with the eyes of a million peo ple upon him, and such a mau ii? worthy to walk on those "El iysian 1 lawns where paced the demigods of old." Nothing but Divinity can keep nm from being the next governor >f Sonth Carolina. 'There is a tide in the affairs of men, ?Vilich, taken at its flood, leads on tu fortune." James H. Tillman has taken the ide at its flood.-The Voice of Labor. She-"And pray, what do you ;arry that book with you for?" ,'He-"Ob, that is a book in which [ just jot down my thoughts, you iey." She-"Isn't it rather large for ;hat purpose." Mrs. Elizabeth Lily, 80 years lld, six times married and five ;imes divorced, has beeo adjudged ueane at Petersburg, Ind.

The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist? His Laboratory. ? There is a disease prevailing in this country, most dangerous because so decep tive.
