The State 26th inst.
Since the transfer of the reins
of State government there has been
considerable speculation as to what
those who leave official life will
devote their time and attention
to.
Hon. John. J. AlcMahan, the
able former State superintendent
of educatiou who has accomplished
so much for the common schools
of the State, who loved the work
with a love almost amounting to a
passion, will return to the practice
Of luwr tin buci Kritn tilfm'iwl tirwl
has accepted a full partnership in
the extensive law practice of Mr.
W. H. Kyles.
Former Comptroller General
Derham goes to his home in Horry
county and will probably devote
his attention to his farming operations.
He may he in politics
again in a few years.
Ex-Gov. MclSwoeney has gone
to his home in Hampton, where
ho will devote his attention to
straightening out his business affairs,
of necessity much neglected
during the past three )ears, and

yoml that had not been matured
when he left Columbia Saturday.
He has many strong friends in
the business world of Columbia,
and it is considered not unlikely
that ere long he will bo found do
voting his attention to some bus
mess enterprise here.
Ex-Adjutant General Floyd
goes back to h:s farm at Liberty
Hill in Kershaw county. lie has
an extensive farm there, and will
have all he can do to keep it
going.
Ex-Secretary of State Cooper,
who lias been in failing health for
some time, has returned to his
farm in Colleton county, lie
does not expect to reenter politics.
The friends #f ex-Attorney
General Bellinger will be pleased
to know that he is to have a Columbia
office. Tho announcement
is made in a handsome editorial
tribute to him in the Barnwell
New Sentinel. This editoiial concludes
thus after appropriate references
to Mr. Bellinger's proud
record as attorney general:
"In addition to his Barnwell
office, which will be in charge of
Mr. G. Miller Greene, Mr. Bel
linger will open an office in (Columbia
and his as-ociato will bo Assistant
Attorney General Wm. II.
Townsend.
Mr. lieilingor's retirement to
private life can only he tempor
try?for the people of the grand
old Comaionwealth recognizo in
hiai one of her ablest sons; one
who would grace and adorn any
position to which ho might he
called; one who will do his duty
'though the heavens fall' and
though he sacrifice his own interests
in so doing; enc who has always
had the courage to stand to
his honest convictions? yea, one
to he trusted nt nil timou un<l ..r.
der any and all circumstances.
Such is the untarnished record of
G. Duncan Bellinger."

Drs. J. R. Miller, W. G. '
Stevens, \V. W. Ftnnell unci A.
Lynn have purchased the hospilal
building and h.vve applied for
a charter for The Rock Hill Private
Hospital, the physician nam- j
ed heing the corporators. It is 1
understood, however, that Dr. !
W. Gill Wvlie, of Now York, 1
will ho connected with the hospital
as u stockholder and consulting
physician and surgeon. The'
capital stock of the association :
will he $5 000, divided iito
50 shares of $100 each.
The building has been complet-!
ed and has been built after the
ho^t modern plans for small hos- '
pital, special care having been ;
taken us to sanitation and ventilation.
It is expected that the hospital
will bo open for the reception
of patients about the middle of
February and by that time it will
be fully equipped with everything
that may be needed for i
such nn institution. A matron
andtininod nurses will bo cm- :
plowed and the food will be prepared
by an expei ienced hospital (
cook.
The hospital will haven pay
department and a ward department.
It is expected that the
latter will be largely maintained
by the King's Daughters and the
City Council. A proposition will
be made to each of these bodies
that will permit them to send
. needy patients to the hospital,
where they will recoivo medical
and surgical attention free, the
only cost being board, nursing,
medic.il and surgical dressing.

Columbia, dun. '24.?Special.?
The first debate of tho session
took place in the House today.
It was on Mr. Dolman's bill to
permit counties to nominate in the
primaries the dispensers and county
boards of control. It was de- 1
cided that some counties want to
do this and arc foibidden by the
Democratic party. It was urged '
iti opposition that there are several
dispensers in some counties
|
and it would not be right for the
ontire county to vote on a purely
neighborhood official. The bill 1
was killed by a vote of 78 to 24,
Mr. llaker of the Charleston (
lelegation opposed the bill on the 1
ground that it would result in gen
3ral demoralization. Mr. Devore
)f Edgefield, made a significant
remark when he said that the dispensary
is already in politics, to
the armpits. Ho favored lotting
mo people vote on theso officers.
Mr. T. Y. Williams favored the 1

Columbia Record.
In his very interesting remarks
last night at the memorial exercises
in honor of the late Chief
Justice Mclver, Judge Hudson
spoke of him as a young lawyer,
and related an incident that was
not only intensely interesting, hut
was an example of a condition
then existing which must ho soon
followed hy those of the pr(sent
generation if we are to live in
peace and enjoy tho protection of
law. Judge Hudson said that as j
a young man he arrived in the J
town of Marion to take charge of
a school. As lie entered on the ;?
public square he saw an immense!
crowd gathered around a gallows
on which sat a white man. lie
learned tout this man was wealthy,
of good standing and family, and
one who had been an influential
citizen, lie had boon convicted i
of killing a negro?a slave?not 1
outright, as the judge said, but
by a sories of continuous cruelties
inflicted for months This man (
was that day hanged. The incident
was related to show the great 1
powers of the then young Iawye?*
as a prosecuting attorney. After
relating the incident, the judge
closed with this stutement: "That
man was huij/j that dav for, may
it please your honors, in tho>e
days the majesty of the law was
upheld." That was not the time
or the place to contrast the difference
between those times and
these, but the peculiar emphasis
with which the venerable jud^c
uttend the sentence was striking,
and his tone and manner spoke
volumes.

Greenwood, Jan. 25.?News
reucliP'1 bore today of what came
very near being a serious riot and
bloody tight at McCormicIf on the
Charleston and Western Carolina
railroad. The affair sounds like j
Ihe days of tho lights in border
lovvns out west. It appears that
some time during tho d ry Saturday,
a party of young men from
ihe county, prominent among
whom was Robert Dorn, was disturbing
tho peace in tho town o?
McCormiok. Dorn was arrested
and later released uhdei\ a $10
bond to appear before tho inten^
:lant of tho town, lie went away
and a few hours later returned
with a party of friends looking
tor tho trouble. These young
men proceeded to raiso a 4'rough
house" without rnnch prelude.
Lhoy shot into windows generally
und in many other ways made
themselves obnoxious. A body
of citizens assembled into a posse
aud staited to arrest the disturbers.
When the two parties came
in conllict, George Talbert, a learn,.
tlw, -? L
ii^i iri jfuuuu uiuii, uruiv his
gun a nil attempted *o shoot tho
leader of the posse. This ho "did
not ilo, his gun only snapping.
The leader at once tired and
wounded Tulbert in the arm. The
sight of blood dismayed tho rioters
and they dispersed. Tulbert
and yopng ttnbert Dorn were arrested,
the others escaping. Dorn
was brought through here today
by two corn-tables, who were carrying
him to Abbevillo to lodge
him in the county jail. They
said they had been threatened by
Dorn's friends and expected that !
un atteifipt to release Dorn would
have been made at Troy, but
nothing was done Dorn was tied
up like a desperate criminal.

Had Their Bull Fight.
The Thomaeson-Tillman bull
fight took place at Thomasson's
cockpit last Wednesday. Taking
a lesson from their previous experience,
the men wore more careful
about advertising (he matter,
sending out their nt tices only to
such as they knew to be interested.
About fifty spectators gathered.
The fight was a tame affair.
The bulls were a little ugly when
first turned together; but they
soon rubbed noses and made
friends. There was a lot of
chicken fighting afterwards. As
to whether the proper authorities
will now take any action has net
