The House of Representatives Tues day gave third reading to the bill to aid the dispensary investigating com mittee. The Senate gave third reading to a similar bill but it did not reach the House in time for first rcadiug there. This was the only third reading bill. Under the head of second reading four received favorable action and two were rejected. The-four which were given second reading and were or dered to be read the third time were r Mr- Prince's to provide an appro priation for the Confederate Home j college in Charleston. Mr. Saye's relating to game law; Mr. Laney>'s to provide for Christ mas holidays at State colleges. The Aiken delegation's bill to pro vide for a county court for Aiken. The two bills which were killed were: Mr. Ford's to classify magis trates and to increase their jurisdic tion; and Mr. Verner's to require the use of the "blue back speller" where the trustees demand it. Dispensary Bills. Thc dispensary committee reported Col. Morgan'? l ill with four members in its favor and fonf opposed to it. Messrs. Bass, Fishburne, Gause and Massey favored the bill, Messrs. Gas ton, Richards, Green and. Dukes opr posed the bill. . There was an unfavorable report on Mr. Laban Mauldin's bill to make drunkenness a crime to be punished by forfeiture of citizenship. . There was an unfavorable report on Mr. DesCbam. *s bill to provide that members of the State board of di rectors cannot receive "extra pack ages, bottles, demijohns or rebates and other packages than those pre scribed by law." Mr. Laban Mauldin received an un favorable report from the committee on public schools on his bill to give to school trustees the right to seize con traband liquor and apply the proceeds to the school fund. As to Immigration. . The following concurrent resolution by Mr. Ashley was adopted : "Resolved, by the House of Repre sentatives, the Senate concurring, That Congress is hereby earnestly re quested and urged to restrict immi gration by the educational test, physi cal examination and an increase of the head tax, so as to preserve and -maintain our free institutions." Tuesday in the Senate. On Tuesday in the Senate there was much discussion, at times of a breezy nature. During the day tho celebrated Ray sor-Manning bill in a remodeled shape was introduced by Senator Raysor. This bill provides for the appointment of three members of the board of dispensary directors by the Governor, at a salary of $1,500 per annum. The Governor can remove these di rectors, who must give bond for $10, 000 and must meet once a week in Columbia. The commissioner is elect ed by the Legislature. Advertise ment is made not only in the South Carolina newspapers but in those of Louisville, Cincinnati, Baltimore and Pittsburg, and a feature .of the bill is that all liquors are to be obtained from government bonded warehouses. These bids are to be opened by the commissioner in the presence of three citizens appointed by the Governor and not eligible to serve more than once. The whiskey must be pure and this must be certified by statement. If whiskey is offered through the agency of any. one connected with the dispensary, this person forfeits orje month's salary for the first offense and his office for the second. No case goods are to be bought under this bill. During the morning hour quite a number of new bills were introduced and referred to committees, "ike Ten-Hour Bill. The ten-hour bill was up before the committee on Wednesday, and was variously discussed in its several fea tures. This measure will come up be fore the legislature at some future time, when final action for thia ses sion will be taken upon it. In the bouse a number of minor measures were passed to their sec ond and third readings and a lot of new bills were introduced and re ferred. Wednesday lu the Senate was de voted largely to routine business, few bills of a general nature being un der consideration. Thursday's Session, i On Thursday both house and Sen ate were busy with second and third reading bills. A]so quite a lot of new measures were up for first read ing. Thc work AvaSj however, largely devoted to local measures. The bulk :>f really important business will 2ome from the committees a,nd be dis posed of iater in the session. Friday a Dull Day. There Avas no excitement attend ant upon Friday's session in either bouse. The grind of local bills is kept up, and things moV? along in a monotonous sort of way. An effort has been made to force the legisla tive elections, but so far Without avail, * A Dispensary Bill. The dispensary committee sub mitted a substitute bill for the Ray sor bill containing these provisions: The board of directors' is to bc elect ed by the legislature as at present and are tb receive ? salary of $1,500 annually.

All liquors shall be purchased frofn United States government bonded warehouses. The State shall pay the revenue tax and purchase on ware house certificates so as to insure that it is unadulterated.

CONGRESS AT WORK What Our National Law Makers Are Doing Day by Day. Tillman Gets Wann. Senator Tillman mad-; a passionate speech upon the recent ejectment from the White House of Mrs. Minor Morris. On Thursday he introduced a resolution to appoint a committee of investigation, which lesclntion failed to pass. A Lot of Discussion. Abuse in the expenditure of appro priations was the text of the discuss ion in the Huse during the considera tion of the urgent deficiecy appropria tion bill. But little progress was made in consideration of the bill, which will be the continuing topic for Monday. The portrait of ex-Attorney General Knox for which the Department of Justice has asked $2,615 was again the topic of comment. The most ani mated discussion of the- day took place on an amendment by Mr. Keifer Ohio, to increase the amount for the transportation of silver coin. Mr. Smith (Iowa) declared that the , practice of transporting silver coin from and to sub-treasuries was graft pure and simple and in the interest of express companies. Mr. Hill (Conn.) naid it was "un adulterated graf ti" Every Secretary of the Treasury from Carlyle down, he said had disapproved of the practice. He said he could give a specific in stance where an express company was paid by the government $16,000 for transporting its own money from San Fransisco to New York. Mr. Williams(Miss.) stated that of the movement of silver was stopped or restricted it would work hardship in agricultural districts. The amend ment was lost. Want License Record. Mr. Humphreys (Miss.) discussed a measure he has pending to make the government records of Federal liquor taxpayers aiid 1 Iceiu?e-holdent availa ble as evidence, iii prohibition and .local option sections of the country, he said, thc present practice of with holding this information really placed the Federal government in the posi tion of aiding the violators of local laws. Persons operating "blind ti gers," ?aid Mr. Humphreys, obtain Federal license and thu? avoid pursuit by government agents, but the govern ment records were withheld by the rules of the Internal Revenue Bureau from being available by State officials in making prosecutions. The rule of the Internal Revenue Bureau, he said, contravened the well-established rules of evidence of our juriHprudcnce. Slating that there hud been con siderable criticism of Soil them cotton planters in their efforts to decrease their ?iottoii ??r?dg? Mr. Sims (Tenn.) denied that this would increase Euro pean acreage and placed in The Record an article from the govern ment crop reporter on the subject. Bill in Exposition's Behalf. Washington, Special.-Representa tive Maynard, of Virginia, introduced a bill authorizing tho government to participate in'the Jamestown Ter centennial Exposition at Hampton Roads in 1907, and providing ail ap propriation of $1,340,000 for govern mental buildings and exhibits. The bill also provided for the coinage by the government of 1,000,000 $2 silver pieces, the exposition to pay for the bullion used. By this means the ox position expects to realize a profit of about $300,000 on the difference be tween the Cost of the silver and the circulating value of the coins. Rep resentative Maynard believes there will bc a great demand for $2 silver pieces especially coined for the ex position and bearing scenes typical of Jamestown, as the coin will be of such unusual size that it will be prized as a souvenir.

Judging -from the report of the grand jury; to the court there is a state of immorality existiug in Lex ington county that the good citizens of the county are determined to cor rect, and to purify the surrounding at mosphere even if it takes the strong right arm of the court to do so. The presentment of the grand jury ar raigns for immorality four eases, and ! recommends that the parties be in dicted on the criminal side of the court. All of the parties are whites. It is charged that two single men and two married women, and one married man and an unmarried woman are living in adultery and that an unmar ried man and* an unmarried woman are openly living in violation of the law of decency and morality. The names of the witnesses who will prove this state of affairs have been fur nished Solicitor Timmerman and he will hand out bills of indictment at the next term of " court against the parties named. At the meeting of the Richland Bar association held in the county court j house to discuss the advisability of introducing in the legislature a bill providing for the establishment of a county court for Richland county, the sentiment of th J attorneys was al most unanimously in'favor of thc plan. After several talks'had been made and the pros and cons discussed, the following committee was appoint ed to draft a suitable bill for pre sentation to the Richland delegation tb be introduced: Mr..R. W. Shand, president of the association and ex-of ficio chairman ; Messrs. A. W. Ray, B. P. McMaster, J. S. Muller and John P. Thomas, Jr. No discussion was had upon the text of the proposed bill and the contents' Avas, entirely left to the judgment of the committee. Acting under instructions from the State board of control in . Columbia Anderson's dispensary .was closed will not be opened-again;; The order came without any previous intimation that such action would be taken and even the county board did not know of it until after the dispensary was closed. As soon as the stock can be checked up by the inspector it will be shipped back to Columbia. The protection of the birds of South Carolina is a subject which is inter esting many leading people of this State. There are -bills before.the leg islature which will require attention at this session. Mi's. Noel Sharpe, who lived near Gaston, committed suicide about 12 o'clock at night" last Thursday by jumping into a well, which is about 100 feet deep. Mr. George Millgan, the inventor of a new self-folding ban-el, espe cially designed for truck,-announced plans for the erection of a barrel fac tory, with a capital of $75,000. Thc factory will be located near Charles ton, and it will have a large output. The Slate supreme court has dis charged the rule against J. S. Farnum and in that way the pendine contempt proceedings were dismissed. A street car conductor was held up in Columbia Thurgday ?night and robbed of what money he had on his person and also a watch and revolver. There is no clue to-the robber. A special from Columbia says: J. W. Parker, one of the three accused pickpockets arrested in the crush at the entrance to the street car enclo sure at the fair grounds during fair week, was dismissed from jail after having had the amount of his bond reduced from $3,000 to $1,500 on pe tition for the reduction taken by B. Palmer McMaster, before Associate Justice Woods at chambers last week and consented to by Solicitor George Bell Timmerman. It.'is an interesting coincidence that Spartanburg's, two dailies have new editors, each entering on his new du ties at the same time. Mr. C. O.

Some years ago, soon after bicycles began to be freely used throughout The Literary Guide by M. Bea '.nell. New York house turned <up at a vil lage In Central New York. He ex patiated to an old farmer upon th? virtues of the new machine, dwelling u.poa what a ttoe-saver it was, and withal how fashionable it would be for tjje bid farmer to be able to ride down to the village on one of the new-fangl ed machines whenever he wanted to. "Why," said the agent, "whenever you go to the post-office, bank, or store everybody will stop and stare at Farmer Wilson, and pretty soon you.'ll- be the most-talked-of-man in the whole county." "That may be so," replied the farmer, "but I tell you Fm a-needln' a .good new -cow mo'n I am one o' them things you're a-talkin' about.". Nevertheless, the agent extracted a promise that the old man would save up his money and purchase a bicycle when the agent came around in tho fall. According to promise, the agent was on hand in the fall with the wheel. The farmer took him in charge and carried him out to the lot and showed him a fine Jersey cow. "That'a what I bought ?with the money I saved up for you," said the farmer. And without waiting for tne agent to recover from his surprise he went on, "I 'lowed that I needed the' cow ano'n I did the bicycle, an' there she is. Ain't she a beaut?" When the agent recovered hrs breath he said, "You'll look funny riding that cow to town, won't you?" "Ya-as," drawled out the old farmer, "but I'd look a darned sight funnier try^n' to milk a ^bicycle."-Silas X. Floyd Jn Lippincott's. Frankness of Spanish Waiter. * E. B. Dewhurst, the Australian ten nis champion, said at a dinner party in New York: "American waiters are much supe rior to those of Spain. Traveling is cheap and comfortable in Spain; liv ing is cheap and comfortable there, but Spanish waiters are often rude. "They are particularly rude to Amer icans and to those whom they mistake for Americans. The old wound, you see, still rankles. "In Madrid one day I entered a res . taurant and ordered a cut of beef. The walter, after a long delay, brought the beef to me-a miserable, tough and grisly cut. *' 'Waiter, said I, 'is this beef from the black bull they killed at the bull fight yesterday?' "The waiter looked at me with a sneer. " 'No, monsieur,' he said. 'It is from one of the horses that they killed at the bull fight.'" American Exuberance. A prominent English statesman who visited this country during the past summer was talking with friends about the national characteristics of Ameri cans, and gave it as his opinion that the Westerner is the most truly hu morous of the citizens of the United States. "Why," said the Briton, in explana tion, "a relative of mine who frequent ly visits'the States for purposes of sport tells me that he was entranced by the reply made to him by the pro-, prietor of a hotel in Nebraska when ' he asked if there were any quail in the vicinity. "'Quail!' exclaimed the proprietor, 'I should say so! Why, they've got to be' a regular nuisance 'round here. My cook cpmulains that she can't throw a piece of toast out of the window with out four or five fat quail fighting to see which shall get on it-' "-Woman's Home Companion. Japanese Diplomat In London. #The Jap is by nature a diplomat, writes a correspondent of M. A. P. Here la our midst the Viscount Hay ashl was long a respected figure, but the man who has familiarized us with Japan, and done most to advance her cause among us, is undoubtedly the Baron Suyematsu. As one of the crowd of "Young Japan," who, as the outcome of the revolution sought a new life in Europe, young Suyematsu (with more than one of the generals who have met Russia at the front), made Cambridge his alma mater, and then returned to Japan.

"Cy" Silloway Would Dig 'Em Up. "Cy" Silloway, the tall New Hamp shire congressman, was visiting a friend who was making extensive im provements on his estate in Dover, when the following incident occurred: There was a scarcity of sand and loam, which was needed-to fill in an excavation, and his host asked the congressman: "What shall I use to fill that hole?"

THE LfTTLE WIDOW A Mighty Good Sort of a Neleh') or to HATO "A little widow, a neighbor of mine, persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts "when my stomach was so weak that it would not retain food of any other kind," writes a grateful woman, from San Bernardino Co., Cal. "I had been ill and confined to my bed with fever and nervous prostration for three long months after the birth of my second boy. We were in despair until the little widow's advice brought relief. "I liked Grape-Nuts food from the beginning, and in an incredibly short time it .gave me such strength that 1 was able to leave my bed and enjoy my three good meals a day. In two months my weight increased from ninety-five to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down and I felt ready for anything. My neighbors were amazed to see mc gain so rapidly and still more so when they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had brought the change. "My four-year-old boy had eczema, very bad, last'spring and lost his ap petite entirely, which made him cross and peevish. I put him ou a diet of Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once. He improved from tho beginning, the eczema disappeared mid now ho is fa! and rosy, with a delightfully soft, clear skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it. 1 will willingly answer all inquiries.'

There was so mucn smoke that the village passed an ordinance prohibiting that form of de struction.

The hill covers some twelve acres. lt ls almost entirely white and Nor way pine sawdust, because this mill did not- cut hemlock except for the last two or three years before it waa closed down. The pile is undoubtedly rotting a little at the bottom, but lt 'is well preserved and bright when it is dug into, the top and'sides having crusted over form a protection for the sawdust underneath.
